PRESCOTT vs. PHOENIX.
(Phoenix Democrat.)

(Phoenix Democrat)
 The people of Phoenix have fol several year sbeen spending several hundred thousand dollars every sum. mer in Southern California resorts with the result that never a dollar of this vast sum ever finds its way back to Arizona, The Democrat, like many other good citizens, considers this almost in the nature of a crime We believe the people of Arizona owe it to themselves to keep their money in the Territory, and to this end we would like to see our sum- mer tourists spend their vacation in Prescott There is not more de- lightful climate in the country than is offered by this charming little mduntain city; and its people are hOspitable to marvellous. degree
 We believe the Santa Fe Railway company would, if asked, make a summer rate, whereby the business men of Phoenix could locate their families in that delightful cline and permit them to make weekly visits to the Mile High City.
 We feel that the people of Phoe- nix are willing. Now, MT. Prescott, get busy and provide cottages for cur people. The talk of an ill-feel- ing between these sections is absurd. The people of this valley have nothing but the most kindly feelings for the good people of Prescott, and We feel it is reciprocal
 We want to spend our summer months in the city by the pines, where the summer nights are de lightfuI and the days enjoyable; and if proper steps are taken, Phoenix will spend its vacation money in Prescott next season.

or show the kind of spirit that the Prescott High school team did last Thursday.
 Coach Frank Hart of Indiana may well be proud of his bunch. The calm precision, the brainy headwOrk, the perfect harmony and the amazing ly fine individual playing reflects the greatest credit upon the untiring per sistenee in practice, the excellent judgment information. and the per feet knowledge of tactics evidenced by their manly coach
 Phoenix was a noble foe, with a record of two winnings, without once being scored against, composed of a heavy team, scientifically coached by Rockwell of Yale fame. Their sensational defeat at the hands of the plueky little "mountaineeTs' was glory worth the gaining.
 Phoenix put up a fine game in the life-giving ozone of our in- spring air with the zest of an old toper. It was a perfect day-elear, calm, warm and sunshiny, without any dust.
 The big crowd of enthusiastic fans Tn the grandstand and along the side lines, got their moneys worth, and yelled themselves hoarse.
 Goebel did some remarkable kick ing at first, but failed to kick goal after their touchdown in the last quarter. Phoenix had the wind in their favor in the first half. Jack son, Phoenix magnificent halfbaek, early in the first half won the ad- miration of Prescott and became a favorite on the sideines, by his clean, manly playing, without "beef- ing"
 Yes, MT. Phoenix, it "takes a man to hold Jackson" but five foot. I2O- pound, little, gritty, '@Stumpy" Ross did it, and big, manly Jackson patted him on the back for it.
 Yes, Phoenix did good work, but were outelassed by Prescott, fact the majority of Phoenix true sports conceded.
 Captain Goebel seems to be the dis gruntled explainer of an inevitable and honestly won result, in a game. declared by many college men on the sidelines, who have figured in the big games of Eastern colleges, in days gone by, to be the best game they had ever seen between High school teams anywhere.
 Now, Captain Goebel, don't be baby. Run home, sonny, to your ma, like a good little boy, and take your medicine like a true sport.
 Nineteen and eleven will soon be born, and another game may yet be played. .
 A TRUE SPORT.

IS DECREASING IN ;
 
 CHICAGO I :.

CHICAGO, -Ill., Nov. 2s.-The ef- fectiveness of Chicsgo's espionage of
 children to See that all who are of school age attend school was set forth in the annual report of Presi- dent Alfred R. Urion of the school board. The report shows that, thanks to the prevention of truancy, there has been a decrease of iliteraey of minors from 602 to 4O1; that the en- rollment and attendance are now the largest within the life of the public schools. There mas been a decrease of 2,2S6 boys and girls from the roaming population of children be- tween the ages of IA and IS looking for work, and there has been the re- turn of 3,15O boys and girls to pub lie and private schools through the persistence and aiertness of the truant officers. ......
 President Urion paid a hign com pliment to the woman superintendent of Chicago schools, Mrs. Ella Flagg Young, and declared that Chicago schools are now working under the most effective conditions found any where in the United States. This statement probably will be challenged in many cities, but the results in detail show the standard to be high.
 "The results" he said, "of the work of the education department in the past year. showed a decided ad- vance over preceding years, har- mony and cordial cooperation on the part of the teaching corps, and in general a better outlook for the gen sral good of the children in the school room. Fortunately for the schools of Chicago a person was found within the system who was recognized the country over as an efficient school official, who possessed in addition to a thorough pedagog- ieal training and experience and an intimate knowledge of the needs of the public school system.''

Phoenix Pretense Exposed.

Owing to the repeated hollering o1 the Phoenix football team, to the eff feet that they were robbed of the game that was. played last Thursday in this city, between the Phoenix and Prescott High school teams, fol the championship, the impression is that it is about time for them to forget that old-time, poor losers kick, and take their defeat like, men Out of courtesy to the losing team the local daily gave simply an of. ficial notice of the result of the game refraining from any undue expres- sions of joy or glaring headlines, but the continued reiteration of the false claims of Phoenix in their morning paper, and their unsportsmanlike "beefing," demands a just and hon este denial, once and for all.
 There is not a player on the Phse- nix team who can trutnfully say that they were robbed of anything. To be sure, it was a hard pill for Phoe- nix to swallow, in being outplayed, outgeneraled and outgamed by a bunch of "mountaineers, who were much smaller and much less expert eneed, than their heavy alfalfa-fed opponents. Prescott s line was near ly all new men, who had never play never even seen real game before
 The three tOuehdOwns which Phoe- nix claims to have made must have been made either when Coach Rock well was instilling football into his men, or on the train climbing the grand old pine girt hills, into Pres colt, for they were certainly not made here during the game.
 The one touchdown Phoenix made was "made on a fluke.'' Captain Crawford of Prescott, who mad been knocked out in the third quarter, af ter remarkably good playing, grittily crawled back in the fourth quarter, and still weak and dazed, kicked the ball over the side lines, giving Phoe- nix her one chance for a touchdown which Jackson made.
 Phoenix tried to claim one touch down on four downs.
 As to penalizing, Prescott was penalized oftener than Phoenix.
 The officials were not "both par tisans of Preseott;" neither were Prescott men. The referee is a graduate of St. Vineent's, Los An geles, a veteran on the gridiron. The umpire was an Eastern man. The decisions were all just and honest, as frequent reference to the rule book, settling Phoenix kicks, proved.
 Ahi no, Phoenix; the officials were all right; and the Prescott team was right there with the goods, every time. The Prescott team deserves all the credit that can possibly be given them, at home and abroad, for you will see many college and university teams play before you will find one that will play the brand of football

At the close of that game the Pres colt boys walked up to their con querors and congratulated and cheer ed them. They also, in writing and orally, challenged Phoenix to a re- turn game in Prescott, which was refused. They also sent to the Pres eott papers a fair account of the game, giving the victOrs entire cred it, and making no excuses. This is far from the way Phoenix did here last Thursday. They did not offer a word or sign of eongratulation, but "sulked in their tents.'' They did not and have not yet challenged Prescott to a return game, and the reports of the game, evidently sent out by them, were extremely unfair, and wide of the truth. And the real and only excuse for their defeat is that the Prescott team Outplayed and outgeneraled them at every turn. In only one thing did Phoenix show to advantage, and that was in kicking. Goebel certainly can kick. And this may be applied to the whole Phoenix team and taken any way the reader desires to take it. But in the exeeu- tion of plays-in the use of the for ward pass-in the exercise of foot ball "sense," the Prescott boys sim ply eelipsed the Phoenix boys. It was no hard luck story. It was sim ply good playing and good team work, with Phoenix on the defensive most of the time.
 It is perhaps regrettable that any controversy should ever have become public in this matter. A sport so wholesome and enjoyable as football ought always to be, and usually is, the means of drawing rival teams and communities into closer fratern ity. rather thana means of exciting dissension. But Prescott is certain ly not responsible for starting this discussion. And there is rather too much Prescott spirit behind the classy boys composing the Prescott football team to permit the statement to go broadcast that they can't win a football game without the cooper ation of enough cstastrophes and ad- versailles, including "flukes," eli mate, altitude and Brobdignagian stature, to have annihilated the Macedonian phalanx. Prescott IS justly proud of her High school and all her other schools; proud of her teachers and her children. Just now she is especially proud of her Hign school football team, and of Prof Hart, who so scientifically coached them. But above it all, Prescott IS proud of the fact that her boys are sportsmanlike enough to be good los CTS as well as good winners, and it is this kind of 'sehool spirit" in Pres colt to which we are proud to have the Republican allude, as it so gen erously did in the football articles. In the utmost kindness we commend some of this spirit to the Phoenix football team.
 But, in the meantime, let no one forget that Prescott High school won last Thursdays game on the dead square. We are entirely willing to admit, however, that they had to Play some to do it. .-.

THE RECALL IN ARIZONA.
(New York Sum-


 The wise men of New Mexico and Arizona are now engaged in writing Constitutions for these prospective stars in the flag, and naturally all the latest ideas in American politics up-to-date are passing in review. There are few more interesting items ent drafted than provision applying the recall to every officer of the State government, including the judiciary. Some conservative reactionaries are endeavoring to exempt the judiciary from the recall. But the local cur rent seems to be setting strongly in favor of this device, and the judge elected with a string to him may very possibly be a conspicuous fea- ture of the 47th or 18th common
 
 Now the recall is simply one of many devices invented by the eager reformers of the West in derogation of the existing representative char scter of our government. Seeing the evils which have crspt into. ex- eeutive, legislative and judicial action by independent representatives, these worthy gentlemen at once cry, to nave the whole system :, destroyed. Whenever they can theyo wipe out the agents. altogether and let the people do the work directly Wit ness the initiative and referendum for example-an effort to minimize the functions and responsibility of the peoples legislative representa- lives. The recall, which enables the people to jerk out of office at any moment a public officer whom they do not like, is a piece. When ap- piled to legislator or an executive as, thus far, it mas chiefly been used-the public officer ceases to be a representative possessing independ- ent judgment and responsible charge and becomes little more than the prolonged arm of the people, So far as is possible in our modern complex communities, you approxi-. mate to mob rule, wherein the whims and passions of the moment are the guide for the making and the exeeu- tioh of laws.
 The Arizona proposal goes, how ever, step further, it will be per ceived. Not only the Mayors and the Givernor and the Legislators, but the judges as well, are to be euslaved to populsr sentiment. If judge administers the law to the dis taste of a majority of the eommun- ity the string IS pulled, and out he goes. Very likely such an actual re- moval would not often occur But the possibility would be ever pres ent and would plainly operate in two ways, first, to keep off the bench men of conscience and inde- pendence, and second, to hold the oe- cupants of judicial office to swift response to popular fancy. A more complete annihilation of the sober, dispassionate rule of reason and in dependence aimed at by our ancest- CTS when they drafted the Federal Constitution and the Constitutions of the original States it would be diff ficult to conceive.

If by any chance the Constitution adopted by this convention shJuld ever be adopted, the courts of the State of Arizona will have little to do for the next twenty years but pass upon the eonstitutionality Of our laws, as nearly every legislative subject ever thought of is covered in this crazy-quilt thing called Ca Constitution.
