There's No Lie About This

Discussing the proposal of an endowed newspaper, MT Car negie sa1d that he had dismissed the idea, as he thought no one would care to read a subsidized journal. He is correct There are many instances now of sub sidized journals, and the thin- ness of their subscription lists and the feebleness of their infu- ence is ample proof of what Mir. Carnegie says.
 The only kind of a subsidized newspaper that can possibly win is a newspaper subsidized by the people with their patronage. And the only kind of a news paper that can win that sort of subsidy is the newspaper that recognizes its mission, and holds sacred its duty as public SC Aa..t - u..T...uiueIed, unuIaSe,A and without fear.

At Tempe, in the Salt River

At Tempe, in the Salt River valley, there is a teamster who has one of the best gratis yet invented. He digs sand from the river when the stream is low, sells the sand, and then charges automobilists big prices for hauling their machines out of the holes. This is what Phoenix autoists are saying, and at the same kicking to beat the band, and yet not all of them know that the man who so opportunely appears to pull them out of the river, is the same individ- ual who digs the holes, and those who do are just twice as mad as the others. Yet, they cannot but feel admira- ton for the business acumen of the gentleman.

Fear to Sell Booze to Young Men

Since the licenses of the Casino, Midway and Palace saloons in Phoenix were revoked by Judge Kent, some of the bar tenders of that city have become so timid that they will not sell liquor to any person who cannot show gray hairs above a face that makes those gray hairs look nat ural and not premature.
 Itis dangerous to sell liquor to a minor in Phoen1x. The saloon ists realize that it is just as dis astrous to sell booze to a young ster on the wrong side of 21, as it will be if the Hamilton Owens bill passes Congress or the coun- ty goes for no license next May. A report is going the rounds that young men of 26 and 27 have been turned down within the last day or two by bar tenders, who feared that they might be minors. The suggestion has been facetiously made that the bar tenders establish court and is- sue licenses to all who apply, provided they can prove their ages to be more than 21 years.

If the power of the Speaker had been yielded in the pub lie interest, or even if the feel ing had been general that the Speaker had exercised his con- trol of legislation with abso- lute impartiality, the move ment which overthrow him could never have gained mo- mentum. It was the belief less that the rules conferred too great power oil the Speaker than that he used that power in favor of the special inter ests and to thwart the wishes of the people, that created the sentiment that finally over whelmed him. Cannon's de feat is the overthrow of a Colossus.

Much Senatorial Timber

The following is taken from the Arizona (Phoenix) Democrat, and illustrates that as the wealth CT warns up in the Capital City, 1t also warns up their political instincts.
 Prescott can indeed furnish an excellent assortment of senators; that IS to say, men qualified for that or any other honor, but the Democrat errs in that M.'. Mur- phy will be the only receptive" candidate on the Republican side. On the contrary, there are Several Republicans III the frame of mind attributed to the late INT. Barkis. Among the willing IS Hon. R. E. Morrison, who has not formally authorized the press to deny his candidacy:
 "Yavapai has the most prolific crop of senatorial candidates of any county in the territory" !" stated a gentleman who arrived from the north.
 He was asked to give a list of the men who had political bees buzzing in their bonnets, but he stated 1t would be much easier to write a list of the prominent men not out for the office, than to compile a directory of those who were.
 Among the ranks ot the demo keratIc brethren, he stated, Reese M. Ling. Henry Ashurst, Judge J. J. Hawkins, Mayor Morris Goldwater and R. N. Fredericks were being mentioned, and all of them have signified their will ingness to accept the senatorial toga were it thrust upon them.
 Ashurst has been mentioned prominently for the lower house ot congress, but maintains the position he has held from the first, namely, that he IS after the senatorship and will not con- sider the lower house.
 Mayor Goldwater and R. N. Fredericks, the banker. are very often mentioned, while friends of Reese M. Ling say it's all over except the shouting.
 In the republican ranks things are a great deal quieter, and the name of Frank M. Murphy is about the only one mentioned. The lack of interest m the repub- lican party IS said to be due to the very slight chances of a re- publican securing the plum Prescott Courier.

NOW IS THE TIME

There was never, perhaps, i'll the history of the world, a time when there was a more widespread immunity from war than at the present hour. On the whole face of the earth there is not all attacking army worth the name on the march, or one awaiting an attack that can at all be regarded as i'm minent. It is the. greatest and most stirring opportunity the friends of universal peace have had presented to them. It Is true, on the other hand, that the burden of militarism was never so heavy as 1t IS now. But that only empha- sizes our contention that the opportunity is stupendous for the promoters of the peace doctrine. The nations are grooming under their loads of guns. Statesmen are at their wits ends as to how to raise more taxes, in order to feed and pay the soldiers and sail ors and to increase the num- Der of fighting ships and to enlarge the instruments of at tack and defense. It is the very time to talk peace-peace that shall last.
 Yet the friends of peace seemed never so inactive as LOW. They appear to have gone to sleep. And what are they waiting for? Are they waiting for another war to break out? It is no use to talk peace when armies are in the field. Humiliation is then the only means of peace. But now, when the world is enamored of peace, when the people see its advantages and its blessings, when the roar of the guns is silenced-this is the time to be active.
 Why are not all the peace organizations of the world bu- sy with congresses and parlia- ments and assemblages of the people throughout the coun- tries of: the earth organizing against the bloody folly and the bitter wretchedness of war?
