An Fl Paso school principal has requisitioned the board to purchase for her a rawhide whip. A teacher who cannot preserve order and dis cipline iD her school room without the use of a rawhide whip is un- worthy of her position and is an in, capable, who should be promptly dis missed. If corporal punishment Is tc be inflicted it is to be done by par ents and by parents alone. While in many respects the teacher stands in loco parents to the scholar in tn, school room the chastisins of a chile should never be delegated to another
 than the real parent Such punish ment by teacher sreally an assault upon the child.

policy advocated before election and ever since by these papers was to write the initiative and referendum into concise and simple fundamental law. Such a course would insure statehood and these papers have from the outset maintained the foremost importance of this. The rest of the press of the territory is generally now advocating the same policy that has governed the Kelly papers.

ABANDON HOPE,

The Phoenix Democrat is author, ity for the statement that Gov Sloan irss given up hope for state hood at the hands of the present session or the convention, and is already laying plans to finance an- other session. The present session will have cost Sloooo8. and another one will call for s5a.o0o more.
 It is taken for granted that the people Hiil not approve of the con- stitution as it is now being framed. or if theY should approve, it will be rejected in Washington. This view is well founded.
 But we doubt very much if con gress will be found in the mood to appropriate another $5o,ooo. and it is probable thal if another session is held the taxpayers of the territory will have to foot the bills. If con gress refuses to appropriate more money. it must be either an expense en tine people CT Arizona, or no statehood for years, perhaps.
 IF another session were to be held, the sane delegates would have to try again. Why should it be nee essary for them to try again? If they could be made amenable to public opinion through rejection of their first efort at the polls, could not they be amenable to the same .opinion. now through organized and strong expressions from all over the territory. especially from democratic voters? If the radicals in the convention are net blind and stubborn to a degree; if they hon. estly imagine they are serving the desires Of the peop-e, some plain and emphatic expression from the voters NOW ought to be effective. Such a course. promptly and ag- sressiyely undertaken, ought to bring the majority to realization of the mistake now being made, and lead them to adopt, during the last few days, a sane and conservative constitution that WOULD FIRING STATEHOOD. This effort to save statehood. and also save $50,000, is worth making. Let the people speaf up. through their newspapers, and through personal letters to their del egates-

TIE COMMISSION GOVERNMENT PLAN.

Richard S. Childs of the Short Bal lot society, says that the commission plan Of city government is the first instance bf short ballot government in the United States, since the so- called 'Jacksonian" democracy wit the doctrine of rotation in office and "to the yfctors belong the spoiis' was responsible for creating the present multiplicity of elective of fees. It is> hardly to be doubted that admirers of the p,an will come to the conclusion that the short bal tot may just as we'll be adopted also in the counties and the states In the federal government ~e al ready have the short ballot. We. as people, control the government very much better when We elect president and make him responsible 
 for the soo.0eo federal appointee, than if we attempted to elect the fed eral judges. attorneys, marshais, post masters, ambassadors, etc, by pop
 ular vote. It is easier for the. peo pie to elect one man and hold hin
 resuonsible than to elect fifty mel
 and hold them all responsible. | The simpler the battle-ground ant the less Ske a jungle it is tt'
 more effective will be the fightini of those political amateurs We cal , the common people. Accordingly

The New York World takes a dia. bolical delight in making sarcastic remarks about the silence that has prevailed oyei Oyster Bay since the recent election. Here is a sample:
 Days have passed and a sieacs ike that Of the tomb still broods over Sagamore Hill. The lips upon which hung the faithful in rapr ador- ation are mute. Not a sound is heard. Not a funeral note.
 The pathway up which only a few days ago climbed those seeking grace and guidance, is deserted A guard in black mans the doorway, and dismisses the stray intruder with hushed voice and warning finger laid upon his lips.

l~ ERHAPS If we knew all the iO laws of physics and chemistry. this queer question of likes and dislikes would be explained. For 1t IS a queer question, and bothers many of US. Admirable people there are. who by all codes of sense and ethics. ~e should like. But we don't. And regular rapscallions there also are, who by all codes, we should despise. But. to ourselves. we admit a sneak. ing liking for them
 Why is this?" we ask wearily. But no answer comes.
 In the physical realm we know that like attracts like. May not some such law prevail in the seem ingly more unstable, insubstantial realm of mind and spirit!
 s2erhaps those people who are ap- parently all we should admire have, underneath their surface-virtues, cer. tain qualities that repel. And those who are apparently ali we condemn. have. hidden away, certain good quail tties that are making their unseen appeal

by these. In both cases, many come to wreck. If there Is some unknown law there which we can use to our profit. why not find it out and let it light our path instead of proceeding in the dark?
 If we find ourselves liking some man or woman who by all recognized standards has qualities which we know we, neither admire nor respect. let us probe untfi we sec whether there are not hidden qualities which we do admire. or whether the others undesirable qualities are not finding a response in some unknown Ir1its in ourselves?

If 1t means that the one seemingly good has undesirable traits. let us heed the warming no matter how fair the. prospect may seens Ard If it points to as yet nndiseovered or unde- veloped good. let us march bravely forward to the happiness that Is ours in spite of the unpropitious outlook.
