DIR. John Dome. the famous Eng
lish divine and poet, who lived In the
reign OF James l., was a veritable
Sherlock Holmes. One OF his famous
exploits was as follows! He was
walking in the churchyard while a
grave was being dug, when the sexton
cast up q moldering skull. The doctor
idly took 1t up and in handling 1t found
q headless nail driven into 1t.
This he managed to take out and
conceal in his handkerchief. IL was
evident to him that murder had been
done. He questioned the sexton and
learned that the skull was probably
that of a certain man who was the
proprietor OF a brandy shop and was
a drunkard, being found dead in bed
one morning after a night In which be
had drune two quarts of brandy.

ton came from Wallace Macdonald. of Mesa City, who gave Mir. Fowler a $650 COW in recognition of his per sonaI friendship. MT. Fowler appre- ciating the gift fully, says he will pass it along to the university herd, in which he is now taking a pardon able pride
 MT Macdonald has been breeding Ayrshires extensively for several years and had a fine lot of them. though he has decided to go out of the business temporarily at least. and on Thursday disposed of most of his stock at auc- ton. He had one COW. named Excep- ton. which was raised in this valley, but which has been making a remark able record in the show ring for the last two or three years. She won the grand championship at the Arizona fair in 1909 and in 1911. and just be- fore the fair was brought back from 5000 mile trip. during which she attended six big shows, winning two grand championships. three first prizes. two seconds and one third.
 The way the valuation of the COW came to be established was that she was advertised in the auction sale. After the advertising Macdonald gave her tO Mir. Fowler. but she had to be offered in the sale. and Mir. Fowler had to over bid all competitors to save her, even though he was bidding stage money. IL gave Macdonald chance to see what he was giving away. MT Fowler says he regards Exception as the finest show animal ever seen in Arizona, and if sold back east would have brought $500 The cow is seven years old. Of the Macdonald herd Tucson gets the pick.

A Question of Employment.

Recently much has been written and spoken about the anticipated movement from the cities to the country. or the back to the farm Such information as has been furn- ished has been. however, of little value because for the most part. it was constructed of general terms that made little appeal to anybody. But there is a whole sermon in a recent census report which shows indisput- ably that there must, in the very nature of things, be such move ment soon, or the cities will have to pay the penalty in such lowered standard of living as. under the form CT domestic ideals of this country, would be almost unthinkable.
 In a small manufacturing city of Ohio the value of the product pro- duced by all the factories is now SI.O0O,OOO annually. Five years ago it was s46,00OO00 annually.
 That shows on its face an extreme ly healthy growth; and if the num- Der of people employed in produc- ing the product had kept pace with the product itself, all would have been well. But the truth is there  is a wide discrepancy.
 The number of men employed to produce the S1.O0O.O 900 worth of prod uct is only 90 per cent more thar the number required to produce th'
Arizona republican., 1911-11-18

s46, ,OOO. .0OO worth of product. That is. while the value of the product in creased more than 7S per cent, the number of the men increased only 90 per cent.
 To put it another way: In 1905 a man would produce s4.60 worth of goods in a given time. In 1910 the same man in the same time would produce s625 worth of goods.
 or. again: the work that. in 1905 required 6S men, now requires only 46 men.
 It is not that the efficiency of the workmen has increased, for it has not The increased output is due solely to improvements in machinery.
 And let it be recalled that this inn provement is going on all the time. Ii must continue in the very nature of things. There is a school of economy which argues that a con tinued improvement means increased demand for labor; and that is true. But the trouble is the demand for labor does not increase in propor- ton to the increase in the efficiency of the machine. It is cause for con graduation that 13O men are em- ploved where only 100 were employed five years ago. But what of the other proposition-that where 100 men produced 46 units 13O men are now producing S1 units?
 There is only one answer-the de- mand for labor in the manufactur- ing centers is bound to decrease. And that means either lower wages or an increasingly large number of un- employed.
 This is a concrete illustration. It shows not what might be. but what is. It shows that the back to the farm" movement will in a short time be a movement of necessity.
 Ana rlSnl HtIe lS -Aii@oii" OPP'' tunity This territory needs men of brawn and brain. men of honesty capacity and frugality. Arizona needs men who know what work IS and who are not afraid of it. There are a million men fighting for a mere existence in the mills of the east who could have health and independ- ence here in the Salt River valley
 Ii strikes The Republican that here is a chance for the publicity pro- motors. A well directed effort along the lines here suggested should bring to this state many extremely deslr- able citizens.

The Democratic Meeting.

The democratic meeting at the Ihlru avenue theater last night was one of the most remarkable political events of the campaign. It was remarkable not because of the size of the crowd or because of the lack of size; not because of the enthusiasm or lack of if If was remarkable for speech, so-caIled. that was delivered by MT. H A. Davis, candidate for the state senate.
 The Republican has no personal antipathy toward MT. Davis. In fact if is only too glad to see him get along. But it does desire very ear nestly for the good of Arizona that he be not elected to the position to which he aspires.
 Mir Davis is one of the gentlemen whose thorax expands with the ap- nIause of his audience; and last night he so patently fished for applause that it was painful. That was what he was there for. He had not thing to say; there was not single thought expressed in the half hour or so that he talked; he did not of- fer a suggestion on state leglslatloh' he had no ideas worthy of the name Ii was simply and solely an attempt to secure personal qualification by melting hand clasps by his hearers
 Exhibitions such as these are hu- initiating. MT. Davis ought to know that what the people of Arizona need in the legislature is not cane orake orators but men who know something about the needs of the state. Oratory is cheap. You can hear it on the street corner any evening, and a much better brand at that than the kind Mir. Davis serves up.
 It is possible the people Of Mari- coma county may elect MT. Davis; hut they will not if a sufficient num- ber of them hear him speak.
