SANE CHRISTMAS NEXT.

Why Should Indiscriminato Gift Civ.

Is the movement for a safe and
sane fourth OF July to be followed by
one for an economical Christmas? Do
the majority of people feel that the
Christmas present has been as much
overdOne as the firecracker. the toy
cannon and the pinwheel?
1t must be understood in the outset
that the movement to curtan Christ
mas giving has no relation to the chill
dren. The joy Of the little ones in
their Santa Claus and his bounty is
too beautiful thing to disturb. 1t is
only the presents to the grownups. to
every Tom. Dick and Harry with
whom one happens to be acquainted.
the presents that are a burden and a
bore both to giver and recipient. that
1t is proposed to abandon.
Frequently these are given through
q sense Of duty and cannot be af-
forded by the donor. Just as frequent
~ they are not needed by the one on
whom they are bestowed. Thus the
outlay is not justified. 1t is depriva-
don to one without any corresponding
benefit to the other. The recipient in
turn feels 1t duty to make presents to
the giver. presents that perhaps he can
as little afford and that his friend
mn little needs. Thus both have had to
make sacrifices for which they have
received no equivalent good. 1t Is this
sort Of giving when we expect a re-
turn. this giving through a sense OF
past or prospective obligation. against
which there is widespread revolt. It
an not in harmony with the Christmas
spirit. 1t is commercial, onerous and
lacking in spontaneity. 1t makes N
dread the return Of the holiday when
we should welcome 1t with Joy.
fortunately the habit is dying out.
without any preconcerted movement
% that end 1t is still being dropped by
mutual consent. A has reached the
point Of insurgency where he doesn't
give a hang whether B remembers him
or not. He will not rack his brain
and deplete his pocketbook buying un-
welcome things for B, only to cause B
In turn to hurl. perhaps grudgingly,
equally unwelcome things at his own
head. All unknown to A the same in
surgency has been working in the
heart Of B, and the irrational custom
falls Of its own weight In conse-
quence the day on which we celebrate
the birth of the Son of Man ceases to
be bargain counter exchange.
With the children it is different. We
give to them for the pure joy Of it.
without any hope of return. We enter
into their joys and partake Of the
Christmas spirit by sharing it with
them. Thus we unconsciousIy fulfil
the command of him in whose honor
the day is celebrated and veritably be-
come as little children.

A Case in Point.

Exposures of graft in office in Ora
ham county have led to some indict-
ments and one conviction. For some
strange and inexplicable reason there
seems to be a considerable number of
people in Graham county who are OPP
posed to the graft prosecutions. The
ly to say concerning the territory's
side of the matter. The officers ac-
cused of graft are quite popular and
have many friends. Recently, in pass
ing sentence upon an officer convicted
of criminal use of public funds, Judge
Lewis made some severe but very
appropriate remarks from the bench
in condemnation of officers who be-
tray the public. Why the courts
hostility is beyond us, but the fact is
that there has been widespread criti
cism of Judge Lewis in Graham coun-
ty because of these remarks.
If Judge Lewis were an elective
judge. it is obvious that in the pres
ent state of public opinion in Ora
ham county the necessary per cent
age" of voters would sign a petition
demanding his recall" and thus force
him to the annoyance and expense
of a campaign to maintain his posi-
ton on the bench-although it is in
conceivable that a majority of the
people of the county would vote to
DISMISS such an upright and capable
judge as Judge Lewis
But the situation in Graham coun-
ty furnishes fine illustration Of the
possible beauties of the recall when
applied to honest and conscientious Of
ficers who are determined to dis
charge their duty regardless Of public
pc"tuGice.

The Circus at the CAPITOL,

Our neighbor, the Democrat, which
was an ardent supporter Of the demo-
cratic ticket in the late campaign, has
lost patience with the constitutional
convention, and is roundly scolding
the delegates whose persistence in
radicalism is certain to defeat state
hood if their policies are CARRIED out.
The Democrat is telling the delegates
that the people of Arizona want state
hood, and will visit their wrath upon
the men who may be responsible for
the loss of statehood.
Our guess is, however, that the
Democrat is wasting its valuable
space. The radicals are in control,
and propose to stay in control They
are not amenable to the will of the
great mass of real Arizonians-the
men who have builded in the desert
great cOmmonwealth-for these dele
gates think they are wiser than their
fellow men. Quite several of them
have no permanent interests in the

Tho Ostrich Industry.

Tho Ostrich Industry.
In view of the growing importance
Of the ostrich industry in Arizona, q
report recently made to the state de-
partment by the American vice consul
at Cairo, Egypt. on the ostrich in
| dustry in Africa, is of local interest
Under a law enacted two years ago
the Egyptian government forbids the
expectation of ostriches and Ostrich
eggs.
The only Ostriches which may be
taken out of the country are those
designed for geological collections
They are subject to an export tax OF
$40. There is an ostrich farm al
Matarieh, suburb of Cairo, where
100 birds are kept, varying in age
from three to ten years, and valued al
s35, 900. The most valuable feathers
seem to be those taken from birds
not kept in captivity.
In German Southwest Africa an i'm
perial decree of February Is, 1903
likewise prohibits the expectation OF
ostriches and ostrich eggs. In South
east Africa birds and eggs may be
collected by permission from the gov
eminent for breeding purposes A Ber-
lin company attempted to collect os-
trich eggs from the wild birds and
hatch them out in incubators, but the
experiment was Unsuccessful, the
feathers being of poor quality.
Cape Colony is the principal ostrich
farming country, and according to the
German consul in Cape Town there
are 100000 birds there and only 10000
in all the other countries taken to-
gether. The expectation of ostrich
feathers from the colony was 25 times
that of the rest of the world. AS
much as $4,000 has been paid for a
single bird. At a recent sale prime
white" feathers" brought from s175 to
$3.50 pound. Feathers that took first
prize at an annual exhibition actually
brought $40 per pound-which sounds
like the valuation of radium.
Carl Hagenbeck, the we'll known an
imal trainer and dealer, opened an
ostrich farm with African birds a year
ago near Berlin. The eggs are Matched
in incubators, and the hens" lay 25
or 80 eggs a year. At present Hagen
beck has $50 ostriches from five diff
ferent regions in Africa. For mature
birds the charge is from $3.50 to $715
a pair-the latter ale for East and
West African birds. The transporta-
ton is at the risk OF the buyer.
The statement that birds held in
captivity in Africa do not produce
feathers equal in quality to the feath-
ers of the wild birds does not hold
good as to the domesticated birds in
Arizona. The experience of growers
here is that the birds which feed on
alfalfa yield a plumage superior to the
product of the wild birds Of Africa
the market quotations for Arizona
feathers prove it. There are some
four thousand ostriches on the various
ostrich farms of Maricopa county, and
the owners are more than satisfied
with the business

The Strike Question in Francs.

The French government is facing a
problem which is the most difficult
that has IrisAn in it's cJm a;-ic affairs
since the beginning of the third re-
anarchy and the incidental paralysis of
public business caused by strikes of
public employees. In France not only
the postoffice department, as here,
but telephone and telegraph lines, and
several systems of railroad are own
ed and operated by the government.
The postal employees and the employees
Of The railways and wire systems in
sist upon the right to organize thorl-
Following the suppression of the re-
cent St ike of pubic employes-a
strike winch led France to the verge
of ciyil war and revolution-the min
istry received a vJte of confidence
from the chamber of deputies This
enabled Premier BRAND to continue in
power but because Of the violent at
tacks made upon his policy by num-
etous deputies, he End his colleagues
in the cabinet resigned. AS was eN-
pcCtcd, PRESIDENT F4 Heres at once re-
luts;cd BRAND to form new min
is.y- wh'ch was doe, the new cabi-
net containing most of the members
of the former government Immedi-
ately upon taking office again, NJ.
BRAND boldly announced his determine
alton to settle the grave problem con-
fronting the government, if the parlia-
ment would back him up, by passing
laws forbidding any government en-
ploye to go on strike in the future.
The new program of the govern
ment will thus test, as nothing else
has tested it, the stability of the
French republic. The socialists are
united in the determination to defeat
the government on the strike issue,
and the successor the ministry will
depend upon the course taken by the
monarchists and sundry other groups
in parliament. II the labor unions
win in their contention for the right
of public employees to strike, the end
of the republic will be in sight.
1t is curious feature of French
politics of recent years that the So
cialists in parliament have TO con-
tend with men of their own faith
in the government. NJ Clemenceau,
when in the opposition and irrespon-
sible. was an avowed socialist. But
the SOLDERING effects of responsibility
forced Clemenceau the prime minister
to cut loose from his former doctrines
and associates, and during the three |
years that he was at the head of the |
French government he was a wise and
conservative statesmen. NJ. BRAND, !
Arizona republican., 1910-11-13

who succeeded him, has gone through
the same experience. BRAND also was
socialist, but not so pronounced. in
his views as Clemenceau. His native
with public PROBLEMS in a practical
way instead of from the distant view
point of theory, have compelled him
to oppose and defy the socialists in
parliament Even M Jaures, the pres
ent leader of the socialists in the
chamber of deputies, and one of the
most violent orators the socialist party
can boast anywhere, was, during his
short term as a cabinet officer, as
gentle as a sucking dove-he had to
leave his fine theories at home.
The government ownership of such
telegraph lines has many things in
it's favor-in theory. One of the prae-
teal objections often heard in this
country is. that the administration in
power could so entrench itself with the
votes of the public service employees
that to dislodge it at an election
would be extremely difficult The
French government has declined to
avail itself OF the opportunity to cor
raj the votes of its employees, and
proposes to resist them to the end.
But its difficulties have raised a prob
lem hitherto not discussed in this
Countrywide question of dealing with
organized labor in public office. 1t is
by no means certain that Premier
BRAND will win in the end. for the
question now before the government
will be the main issue in the next
election of the French parliament.
