HOW LONG, OH LORD, HOW LONG?

If there were any muckrakers, any insurgents, any political place-hunters or demagogues weeping their eyes out in behalf of the people" those days, history tails to record it, yet the Psalm ist asserts without fear of successful contradiction: 'I have seen the wick ed in great power. and spreading him. self like a green bay tree; yet he passed away, and To, he was not"
 We as a people have been going through a great commercial era-the greatest in the knowledge of man. Men .of giant minds and giant reach have been accommodating great power through doing the big jobs attaching to the moving of all mankind forward at a swifter pace than civilization ever trav- eled before. Strength flowed to them because they were strong. They tack led great projects and made great for tunes; the success of their projects made a nation and a people great. The spreading of a green bay trees is as nothing in comparison to the growth of a great nation through the leader ship of great men.
 But an odd thing happened-one of those freaks of fate which distort the history of nations. The people, made great, became little; they began think ing not Of the advance all had made through the leadership of the few. but of the fact that the few had gone so far ahead Small thoughts took the place of big ones; the nation no longer took heed of how it might add to its stature, but how it might draw down to the level of the many the few who had led the way Pickering took the place of boosting. fear of hope, jeal- ousy supplanted admiration. and the counseIs of the wise were forgotten in the envy of the foolish. Then up rose a dusty crop of evil spirits. tale-bear- CTS, back biters, ud-throwers and covetous politicians who knew how to apply that public unrest to their own good Unlike the philosophical Psalm ist who knew that the wheel will turn in time, that all things work toge ther for good. the people listened to the unphilosophical the minimizing, the false became its leaders and 1t turned back upon the trail it had progressed so far along.

A probation law would, it appears, be of particu- lar value in dealing with the wife de- prison are small at best, and the DOT ton of such earnings that would be allotted to his family under the plan of the American Bar association would be of little help.
 And unfortunately, while the man who deserts his wife is generally de- serving of a prison sentence, his i'm prisonment involves the punishment of his family as well as himself. By lodging with the court the power to liberate him on probation so long as he makes amends by taking care of his wife and children, meanwhile hold ing over his head the prison sentence as a punishment for his faiiure 10 ot- serve the courts orders, more cf- fective reform would be accomplished.
 It is only in the large cities that the authorities have evidence of the ap- paIling proportions of the crime of wife desertion. The police of Chicago and New York, for example, have thousands of cases brought to their attention every year, the crime being much more prevalent when times are hard. There is a large percentage of men who do not possess the moral courage to stand the gaff'' of adver sity. They are weak, rather than criminal. If thrown out of work and unable for a considerable time to find employment, they drift into the great army of human derelicts and coward ly desert their wives. To send them to prison does not reform them, and the most likely result is to make them permanent members of the crim- inaI class But the fear of prison would force many of them back into the ranks of the workers.

WINNERS IN WALL STREET

It is fact that the careful investor seldom loses much. while the speculat- or is constantly in danger of loss, writes Jasper in Leslie's. The one gets interest on his investment and, if his investments are safely made. can hold them through periods of panic. know ing that they will come out all right. The speculator. especially the one who buys on a margin, may see all his pos sessions swept away by a panicky break. The winners in Wall street are. therefore, the investors. The losers are the spectators. On the other hand it still remains the truth that the wary speculator sometimes finds wall street Ia quick and easy way to accumulate a fortune. The trouble with him is that he seldom keeps his fortune. He stays in the game too long.

BLUE SOMETIMES

Molly and I are blue sometimes, And nope a little and will get cross About the burden, the grind and care The little gain and the mighty loss We sit together and talk it OCT, The fate that follows what'er we do And wonder why people are always
 poor, And Molly and are sometimes blue, The day and its burdens are awful
 hard, For her at home and for me afield And we sit and ponder how lilly il
 pays, How little the effort for us doth
 yield. There's no use talking. we are cast
 down, We don't know what in the world
 to do: We try to be brave and to manage
 best, But Molly and I sometimes are blue, It may be sinful for such as us To feel our burden a mighty strain When others perhaps have a larger
 load Of care and trouble and grief and
 pain. We think no lives are as dark as ours No clouds so heavy with shadows
 through; And though with silver they're lined
 they say. Yet Molly and I are sometimes blue, We have striven and struggled and
 done our best To hold our heads OCT the sweeping
 tide; We have reared our little ones, reared
 and loved. Till now they are scattered far and
 wide; And I tell you. when you haven't
 much. And you've done the best that your
 nature knew. It isn't much wonder. when all is
 said, That sometimes Molly and I are
 blue, You may have known it, I guess you
 have. That hopeless feeling from time to
 time, When your heart feels tired of the
 ache and strain, And you crepe together at even
 chime. Folk will get weary, with all their
 trust, And things don't brighten to cheer
 the view, And so all over the world folk nope. And Molly and are sometimes blue!

The Proper Punishment for Wife
 Desertion.

DeSertlon.
 one of the practical results of the annual meeting of the American Bar association is the enactment of uni form laws in the several states, the association having a standing con- mittee for the encouragement of uni formity in state laws. One of the most important reforms advocated by the association through this commit tee is legislation in every state for the proper punishment of men who desert their wives.
 The act formulated by the American Bar association and already enacted in five states provides for the pun ishment of wife deserters by impris- onment at hard labor, a portion of the proceeds of their labor going Go the support of their families.
 This law would be improved, in our judgment, by including a pro- vision for the release of the convicted husband on probation-the release from imprisonment to continue in force while the culprit lives with and supports his family.
 Many states already have a proba- ton law, covering felonies generally. The law empowers the trial court to suspend sentence during good be- havior, and the results have been found quite satisfactory. It is of special merit in dealing with first offenders

The Perturbation of the Politicians.

The Perturbation of the Politicians.
 It is rather surprising to learn that great perturbation was created in the ranks of the democratic politicians yesterday by the statement in these columns of the simple and obvious fact that. by virtue of the advisory vote at the state election, the repub- Iican voters of the territory may be- come the controlling factor in naming the senators for Arizona.
 Our disturbing statement contained nothing neW-that is, nothing that any well informed citizen should have con sidered new. The present milling of the politicians simply proves that the average politician is not person of reflection. Last fall, in discussing the proposed adoption of the Oregon plan," The Republican repeatedly pointed out that this plan" surely op- crates to break down party organiZa- tions and to shift power from fhe majority party to the min ority par.y that the minority party. by cooper ating with a relatively small number of the majority, may exercise control.
 And so it is now in Arizona We have constitutional provision for an advisory vote at the general cleo tion. which vote is to guide the legis- lature in its election of United States senators. It becomes the duty of the legislature, not to act upon its own initiative, but merely to ratify the yer dict of the people as registered at the polls.
 And too much emphasis cannot he laid on the fact that this instruction to the legislature is not an inst-uc- ton from any particular party, but from all the people regardless of party.
 If, at the coming state election, no republican aspirants for the senate are found asking for an advisory vote" in their behalf, republican voters will feel entirely at liberty to name their choice. from among the demo- cratic aspirants. Republican voters in the general election may choose tO disregard the verdict of the primary election as to democratic favorites, and may choose to make their choice from among democratic candidates who have filed petitions.
 There is so little difference in the numerical strength of the two parties in the territory that the republicans, by voting solidly with a small num- Der of democrats. may easily name the senators.
 As we stated yesterday, it is i'm possible at this time to say with cer- tainty what policy will be pursued by the republicans. But the situation" is so full of dynamite for the profes- sional democratic politicians who hitherto have thought they had to reckon with democratic voters only, that republicans are in a position to get a whole lot of enjoyment out of it, at any rate.
