But We Are Not

Governor Sloan has gone to Washington to help put the state Lood bill through.
 If this paper was Republican i'll politics and if Sloan was Democrat the story would read like this:
 Richard E. Sloan, Governor ot Arizona, has gone to Wash ington, ostensiblv to advocate the passage of the statehood bill, but his prete lse will deceive no one. It is a well known fact that that Sloan is disgruntled over the recent glorious success of the brilliant young statesman from Coconino county and that he will leave no stone unturned to defeat the passage of the bill at this session of Congress, for the reason that he does not want the Republican party t. have the credit of having passe the bill. Aspecial dispatch from L1ra Spond to this paper advises that there is grave danger in the visit of any Democrat to Wash lngton at this time. Itis whisp- cred about the corridors of the capitol that a number of Senat- ors are greatly displeased with Sloan's complexion and the fact that he is fond of buttermilk, and that his appearance in the National capital at this time not only endangers the state hood bill, but threatens to put the whole legislative machlner, of the government on the bum and to bring on a war with Do hamee. It is also assured that any interference by the Demo- crats will cause the price of liy- ing to advance and may cause wool to go down. We suggest Tn all kindness that the Demo- crats stay away from Washing ton until this matter Is settled md that they stay away from the polls if the bill passes".
 But Governor Sloan is not q Democrat and this paper is not Republican. and we are glad that the Governor has gone t, Washington and we wish hin all success in his missionaries colt Courier.

The high cost of living

The high cost of living ne cessities has impressively em- phasized the necessity of ip- creased agricultural product ion. The increased cost of living falls heavily on the in- habitants of cities, who com mence U appreciate that the population of the nation is growing faster than agricult- ural production. The limited surplus and the urgent con- sumptive demand have advan- ced prices of farm products to historical heights. There ap- pears to be no panacea for present conditions except to increase the acreage under crop cultivation.

Tile PRESIDENTS TARIFF
 BOARD.

The passage of the tariff board item, an amendment by which $25o,ooo is appropriat
 ed for a special tariff board ol experts to investigate and re. port upon the tariff question. is considered by the Repnbli- cans of the House to be a very important accomplish ment in that 1t is expected to take this troublesome question to some extent out of politics and out of the hands of those who have manipulated and twisted the tariff for their own advantage. If t Il e Senate adopts the bill as it passed the House, it will leave in the hands of the President at ample sum for this investiga- tion. The board to be ap- pointed Is called the "Presi- dents Tariff Board" and 1t is expected that it will go tc work busily on the passage of the bill and collect facts which the President can submit to Congress from time to time when in his judgement furth- CT revision is required. It is of interest to know that the tariff board is all ready abroad in search of facts which will enable 1t to estimate differ ences in cost of production at home and abroad with the ex- pectation or hope thatthe tar if may be adjusted accord ingly. There is, of course, a great lack of harmony with reference to this generous f. nancing of the "President's Tariff Board'. The standpat stalwarts in the Senate and in the House feel themselves on very unsafe ground and are not happy at the suggestion that the tariff question may be decided on cold facts relat- i've to the difference in cost of production here and abroad.

A SKY OPEN BEDROOM.
Tho Root q Novel
and Clever Feature.

The illustration shows an open air
bedroom described by David Fairchild
in Good Housekeeping.
1T is built under some big red oaks
about ten feet back Of a one story cot
tage near Washington, and it is reach
ed by a little covered passageway
from the dressing roof. There is lit
orally nothing to it but a floor and a
roof, and the roof Is made Of glass,
so that lying comfortably in bed one
a look straight up into the trees and
through them to the stars.
In constructing III little house we
built first four corners Of brick-ce-
ment could be used-and laid floor
joists across to form what carpenters
call the plate. 1t is not necessary to
make the corners more than two feet
high above the ground, for If the land
is we'll drained there is no danger Of
the bedrooms being damp.
On the joists is a floor ten feet
square, and upon this is built the
rough pine frame. The upright 4 by 4
inch corner posts and 2 by 4 inch studs
are braced at the bottom by putting in
short 2 by Is crisscross to form a
w~ainscoting three feet high.
The most novel feature of this sky
open bedroom is, Of course, the roof.
There is a little cap Of wood extend
ing down about eighteen inches on
either side of the ridge. and the roof
itself, which is made of ordinary cheap
greenhouse sash, starts underneath
this and slides up and down on the

OW would you like a hippo
potamus steak for dinner?
"a What! You would as lief
eat horse? Well. If these
high prices continue you may be
driven to horse or, even worse, to a
mule diet. But, getting back to the
hippo steak. it is quite the thing in
Africa. Come to think Of It, there is
nothing so awful about eating a hippo
potamus except the size Of the beast,
and that would be nothing against it
to a hungry man. Your full grown
hippo weighs only about four tons.
The hippo belongs to the pig family
and is much cleaner than the pig in its
eating. We eat ham and bacon when
we car afford to, so why not hippo?
There is a serious movement on in
Louisiana to introduce the hippopot-
anus as a table delicacy; also to use
him al a river dredge and a large
mouthed consumer Of the overproduc-
ton of water lilies. The big brute
can be tanned easily, though hardly
suitable for a household pet. But he
is a fine river dredge and eats water
lilies like a cyclone. Thus he is an
aid to navigation. for he cleans out
the streams. and at low water a few
hippos wallowing in a river would
bring 1t up bank full.
So serious are the Louisianians in
their desire to induce the hippopot-
anus to settle in their midst that they
have organized the New Food Sup
ply society,"" with Representative
Broussard at its head. and have en-
ployed Captain Fritz Duquesne. q
noted Boer soldier, who knows all
about hippos. to look into the matter.
After a thorough investigation Of Lou
isiana conditions Captain Duquesne

proposition and says the plan is also
