Not a Time for Sleeping.

We understand-but we are not sure-that the board of trade is the fortunate possessor Of a committee on railroads. If there is no committee representing this organization which has authority to confer with railway owners who might be induced to eX- tend their lines to Phoenix, it is high time for the creation of such a con- mittee.
 The extension of the Fl Paso & Southwestern to Phoenix and the pro- jected Port Lobos railway-both very live propositiOns-should have the i'm mediate attention of representative body of Phoenix citizens. Perhaps these roads will come without any ef- fort on the part of anybody here, but it is never safe to take such things for granted. Optimism is fine thing, but there is too much of a disposi- ton in Phoenix lately to assume that the future of the town needs no at tention or boosting
 The possibility of inducing Senator Clark to build railroad down the Verde valley to Phoenix is a matter which should have careful investiga- ton. It is no secret that for a long time the owner of the great United Verde has had under contemplation the construction of a railroad from a point on the Santa Fe main line to Jerome. and that he has had some idea of building on to Phoenix. There are strong indications Of a wish of the big copper companies of the ter ritory to own a network of railroads to connect their properties and to pro- vide a short outlet to tidewater. It would be quite logical for Senator Clark to look favorably upon such scheme and for him to do his part to- ward it by building 10 Phoenix. More over, the financial world is familiar with the fact that Senator Clark has disposed of his Montana copper mines and is disposed to become still greater factor in the railroad business.
 This is not a good time for the board of trade to drop into summer sleep.

peared. The movements of the pur- sued and the pursuer were so rapid that the tall young man who was hur- rying after to get his moneys wortl out of the scrap could hardly keep up In fact, he and his friends did not keep up and Ryan for the moment was lost sight of. The tall young man and his companions strained their ears for the sounds of combat but they heard none. After a while they encountered Ryan on the street and asked him how about the fight and the money He replied that there had been no fight and as for the money, he had given that to a policeman to keep out of trouble.
 It then began to be suspected by the natives that the whole thing had been a hippodrome: that the quarrel in the first place was a mutual under standing and that the sO-called fine money had already been divided be- tween Ryan and his insulting confed- crate.
 Complaint was made to the police and Ryan was taken to the city jail where he still insisted he had given the money to a policeman. or at least, to a man wearing a star of authority
 He objected strenuously to being searched and it took three or four men to do it. They found dollar and half

A GLIMPSE AT THE FUTURE.

The present congress, more than any of its predecessors. has shown signs of the frequently predicted re- volution in American pol:tics-the breaking up of the great political par ties into distinct and more or less antagonistic groups, each of which will have it's own party name. This disintegration may be postponed many bound to come in time. The time is evidently coming when a single great party can not hope to represent the sentiments of majority of the American voters.
 MT. Taft was elected, as everybody now admits, by a coalition between two opposing groups, each of them wearing the republican label MT. Bryan. although he was defeated bad ly, was supported by two opposing groups, each of which wore the demo- cratic label. Nobody can safely say how many more years the republican and democratic parties can each suc- ceed in harmonizing the conflicting elements to the extent of a truce dur ing a presidential campaign and con- lining the contest to a battle between two great parties only. But it can not be denied that there is a manifest tendency of the people of this great republic to align themselves on sec tional lines They are finding that their senators and representatives in congress are acutely embarrassed by the requirement. that they shall vote as the representatives of national party and at the same time vote in harmony with the sentiments of their constituents.
 Every other country having rep resentative government has found it impossible to get along with but two parties. Even in England the con- servative and liberal parties are at last breaking up into diverse elements, and in the late election the liberals won under a coalition banner AS the United States becomes more populous, and the people of various sections find their sections unsatisfactorily rep resented in congress under the old regime, time is certain to bring the European system of many parties.

It is regarded as remarkable that senators who for weeks have been bitterly opposing each other on the question of the long and short haul voted together for this amendment. Senators Beveridge, Bristow, Clapp, Cummins, Dixon, LaFollette and Dol liver. who took a leading part in ur- ging legislation to make it unlawful to charge more for the short haul than for the long haul-most of these senators being classed as rampant in surgents-voted with Aldrich, Brande- gee. Kean. Gallinger, Elkins and Lodge for the amendment And, strangely enough. each side claims it has won a victory.
 Viewed dispassionately. it is obvious that the section thus adopted is a compromise. The western senators started out with the proposal to make it flatly unlawful. without qualifica- tion, to charge more for short than a long haul The eastern senators just as firmly refused to accept any legislation on the subject. Aldrich and the eastern group won to this ex- tent; the present practice of charging more for the short haul may be con- tinued in the case of any schedule which has the approval of the inter- state commerce commission. In other words the commission. and not the law. is to govern. Senator Hepburn alone of the republican senators who opposed Senator Aldrich originally stood out and voted against the which also received all the demeeratic votes but three.

A Compromise on the Long and Shor.
 Haul.

As we pointed out the other day, the long and short haur' question is to Arizona and the Rocky Mountain
 region generally-the most important feature Of the pending railway legis-
 lation in congress. It is. now even
 more probable than it was at the date of that comment that the bill, when it is finally agreed upon by the two houses, will require the carriers to ob-
 tain permission from the interstate commerce commission before they can
 charge more for a short than for a
 long haul The section of the house
 bill which deals with this question,
 and which was adopted by a large
 majority, contains this provision. The
 senate bill has not yet passed. but by a decided majority the senate on Fri
 day adopted an amendment reading:
 Section That it shall be unlaw- ful for any common carried subject to
 the provisions of this act to charge
 or receive any greater compensation
 in the aggregate for the transporta-
 ton of passengers, or any like kind
 of property, for a shorter than for a
 longer distance over the same line or route in the same direction, the
 shorter being included within the longer distance, or to charge any
 greater compensation as through
 route than the aggregate of the local
 rates; but this shall not be construed
 as authorizing any common carrier
 within the terms of this act to charge or receive as great compensation from
 q shorter as from a longer distance;
 Provided, however. that the interstate commerce commission may. from its knowledge or from information upon application, ascertain that the cir cumstances and conditions of the longer haul are dissimilar to the cir cumstances and conditions of the shorter haul, whether they result from
 competition by water or rail, then 1t may authorize a common carrier to charge less for the longer than for the shorter distance for the transportation
 of passengers or property; but in no event shall the authority be granted unless the commission is satisfied that all the rates involved are just and reasonable and not unjustly discrimi- natory or unduly preferential nor pre- judicial.
 And provided, further. that no rates or charges lawfully existing at the time of the passage of this amendatory act shall be required to be changed by reason of the provi- | sions of this section prior to the ex- piration of six months after the pas sage of this act, nor in any case where application shall have been 1 filed before the commission in accord | ance with the provisions of this sec tion, pending determination of such 1 by the commission"

San Francisco and San Diego have exposition question. and all California is to pull for San Francisco. The cor dial reception the California delega- tion met at Washington warrants the belief that San Francisco will have little difficulty in defeating New Or leans when the question of deciding between the two cities is reached in congress.

Chairman Dllon's advice to the democratic leaders to proceed to Washington, combat their adversa- ries' and yank the statehood bill through congress willy nilly, seems to have fallen upon cold ears. The dem- ocrats of a practical turn of mind agree with the republicans of Arizona that the thing to do is to accept any bill that congress will pass, and dis pose of all disputed questions after we have the right to make our own laws.
