FORMER PHOENIX BOY
WHO HAS MADE GOOD
Robert p. Sherman, Late General
Manager of Los Angeles
Railway Co.

There has been a recent merger of
the Los Angeles Pacific railway with
the Pacific Electric company of Los
Angeles which will become effective
on February l. The former company
has embraced what is known as the
Sherman lines and for some years.
Robert Il. Sherman formerly in
charge of the street railway system
here. has been general manager.
In a recent interview i'm the Los
Angeles Times regarding the mer-
ger. Vice President Shoup. the head
lowing tribute To Mr. Sherman:
1T is with a great deal of regret
that we lose the services of Robert
p. Sherman, general manager of the
Los Angeles Pacific company. There
is no electric railway man of my ac-
quaintance who has had more diff
cult problems to meet. and these
problems he has dealt with very ably
No one not entirely familiar with the
difficulties i'm the way in the operat-
ing of the Los Angeles Pacific during
the last few years can understand
what he has met and overcome sue
cessfully.
When the operation of the line
was taken over actively by other
interests last spring. Mr.. Sherman
was quite willing to relinquish his
position, but we were not willing
that he should go. The pressure of
his private interests became such
that, in the early part of September
he presented his resignation. feeling
that his outside affairs were suffer
ing from want of attention, but that
his whole time belonged To the service
of the Los Angeles Pacific company
AS a personal favor To the executives
of the company, he consented To re-
main with the provision that within
few months at the outside. we
should find someone to relieve him.
Changes i'm ownership of electric
railways about Los Angeles and. sub
sequent decision to consolidate Pa
cific Electric and Los Angeles Pacific
as to operations. opened the way IL
acceptance of his resignation.
Mr.. Sherman has, more than any
other person. had to do with the
management of the Los Angeles Pa
cific company during various stages
of its development. He was i'm charge
during the difficult transition period
from narrow gauge to standard gauge
and has been general manager
through the subsequent period of re-
construction. the replacement of old
equipment with new and the creation
of a standard roadbed. rock ballasted
and with heavy rails. now under way

ENORMOUS FIRE LOSSES
IN THIS COUNTRY.

Ten years ago we were losing $780,
100000 a year by fire Now we are
losing % per cent more than that
sum. Ii is true that we have more
property, but we also have better
buildings and more adequate prOtec-
ton. Ii seems apparent that We are
becoming more careless and eventu
ally we shall wipe out nearly all of
the inflammable structures.
Berlin is a city almost as large as
Chicago. IL loses $4,000 a year by
fire and thinks this is a terrible
waste Chicago is happy if it doesn't
consume S5.OOO.OO0 each year. on
continental Europe the annual aver
age loss per capita is 80 cents. and
Germany is worst of all with 40 cents
gone up in smoke But We lose about
81 so IA year and seem TO think that
il is all right So long as property is
insured.
Now this country cannot stand the
loss of a billion dollars every four
years without feeling it. In the last
six years the total fire losses would
have paid all the bonded debt, wiped
out the greenbacks and a little more
The loss each year is more than the
cost to run the nations postoffices,
or almost twice the cost of the PEN
sion fund. 1t i waste that is not
i'm any way compensated. Insurance
brings personal relief To the loser.
but it does not restore property that
is destroyed.
1t would be pleasant to note that
the construction of steel and concrete
buildings has lessened our annual
loss. IL is a fact that few buildings
of this character suffer from fire IN
any degree, but what is saved on
| these is made up elsewhere. a small
part of the loss is not to be warded
off under apy circumstances. but
most of il is the result of ignorance
carelessness or worse. The sum eat
en- up by fire each year if applied to
education would about double the
present efficiency Of our public school
system.
The point of all this is purely per
| sonal Every man must guard ms
own property as best he may and see
that his neighbor does the same IL
| is unfortunate that people have To be
scolded about a matter which is 10

times take offense when they are
made to conserve their own property

Finding that the new building on

in the city schools, the board of
trustees viii meet in a few days To
consider a situation that is indeed
serious
From the beginning of the present
term up To last Friday, which was
the end of the fourth school month
there was am increase of ll9 in the
number of pupils enrolled. The to-
tai enrolment for all the schools
Of Phoenix was brought from approx
imately 2300 To above 240O This
has been without any corresponding
increase in space or teachers. The
new pupils have been crowded into
rooms already crowded
Five rooms outside the regular
school buildings were rented last year
and are still used for school pur-
poses but no new rooms have been
rented. The trustees and teachers
say that at least four rooms in the
regular buildings are totally unfit
for the education of children, because
Of lighting. ventilation. equipment and
other essentials. All the rooms in
all the buildings can be criticized
but these four are particularly insult
able But for the present they have

new school will do much toward re-
lieving the present almost intolerable
condition but that il is not nearly
large enough. Another building is
needed badly. While the district
owns a site at the corner of Sew

only solution so far offered is another

HYPNOTISM CASE AGAINST
M0UT0N.

Lafayette, La, June 21.-A case
which will likely attract consid-
cradle attention over the state is
one filed here Tuesday. District
Attorney Robira filed an affidavit
before Judge Elliott in the city
court charging j. Edward Mou-
ton with violating the law rela-
tive to the practice of hypnotism
and magnetism as a means Of cur
ing diseases and bad habits. Sew
raj days ago Mr.. Robira received
information from the state medi-
cal board Of examiners calling
hi attention to an advertisement
in a local paper by Mouton, an
his ability to cure dis
eases by these means. Mouton
claims that he has not violated the
law in question and that the case
is more in the naure Of friend
ly suit to test the real scope and
intent Of the law. The penalty
provided for in the law is a fine
from $50 to 800 or Jail sentence
from ten to ninety days in Jail.

REPEAT AND BELIEVE.

Sometimes people repeat a
thing so often until they finally
believe it themselves. Demaga-
CUES. with never-ending flow OF
words-mere words-prate about
distressing conditions and burd-
ems that the people are grooming
under, until they themselves, in
time. come to believe that they
say is really and actually true.
The average individual knows that
conditions, generally speaking. are
no worse and no better in Loulsl-
ana than in other states. But
were one to seriously consider
what some orators and newspap-
ers assert as facts. the rest Of the
world would shun Louisiana like
they would an epidemic Of leprosy.
These gentlemen have repeated the
stories so often until they are
really conscientious about the
matter. In proof of this we repro
duce the following as AM illus
tration Of what continuous repeat
ing of a story will lead to-:

WOODROW WILSON FOR
PRESIDENT.

The sub-joined letter has been
sent us by Senator Gore with re-
quest that we reproduce:
May Is, 1911.
Mr.. H. s. breckenridge, Balti
more, Md:
My Dear SRI am in receipt
of your valued favor inviting me
to address a Woodrow Wilson
meeting to be held in your city at
an early date. / beg to thank you
for the invitation and to assure
you Of my regrets that / can not
be present on the day indicated.
Perhaps on some future occasion
of the kind | may be able to at
tend.
Allow me to add that if it be
the purpose Of the proposed meet
ing to advance the prospects of
Mr.. Wilson for the Presidency |
am in hearty accord with that mo-
tive and object. l have canvass
ed the political situation and out
look with some care and have con-
cluded to support Mr.. Wilson for
the nomination. Several disting-
uished and deserving Democrats
are being strongly urged for the
Presidential nomination. 1t must
be owned that the Democracy has
a wealth Of material for the Pres
idency. It is easier to nominate a
Democrat who deserves to win
than to nominate one who is able
to win. We must seek a leader in
whom these two qualities are unit
ed. / believe that Mr.. Wilson
answers both requirements.
In saying this disparage no
one who is or may be an aspirant.
If the collective of Democracy
should select another leader, /
should follow him with unfaltering
fidelity. To illustrate my feel
ings, if the brilliant Speaker of the
House should be nominated, /
should follow him with as much
devotion as the French soldiery
followed "The white plume Of
Navarro. +"
Our nominee should be chosen
without prejudice or partiality.
He should deserve to win. He
should receive the unanimous sup
port of an united party. When
Democrats divide, Republicans
conquer. Harmony is indispens-
able to success. We should i'm
pose a prohibitive tariff on the
ssapples of discord. I"
I believe that every Democrat
could support MIR. Wilson with
out compromising his conscience
or his convictions. In respect of
principle, he is a Democrat of the
ancient and accepted order. De-
mocracy means the rule of the
people. He believes that the gov
erned should govern. He trusts !
the people; the people can strust
him.
In respect of legislative policies,

WHAT A BOY LEARNED.

If any one doubts that good is
accomplished by the operation Of
agricultural trains, let him read
what Hey Sanders, Of Winfield,
learned on his visit to the Boys
Corn and Pig Club special car, run
over the Rock Island lines in Lou
isiana last March. Hey is 13 years
old, lived on a farm until four
ears ago, and wants to return to
the country. He attends the
Winfield public school. belongs
to the Boys Hog Club, is raising
two grade Poland-C China pigs, and
is the proud owner of IA Barred
Rock chickens, pure strain. Fol
lowing is part of the written re-
port he made to his teacher.
What I Learned at the Corn Club
Car.
You should pick the corn that
you are going to use for seed in
she field; get ears that have plen-
" Of silk and that the water or
insects cannot get in them. You
should not pick ears that is on a
stalk at the end Of a row, or ears
low down On the stalk. Mark
the ears that you are going to
save for seed corn and when you
are gathering your corn have a
little box On the end to your wa
gon and put the ears that you
want to save for seed corn into it.
This is what one of the speak
ers said: We are going to or
ganize boys pig club here; the
members will have to have pig
and a place to keep it. 1t is best
to have the best stock you can
get because if you have the poor
er stock they will not make you
as much money as the better
grades will. The Poland China is
a good hog, so are the Berkshires,
Tamworth and several others.
You should give the hog good,
clean water. Dish water and
kitchen Stops is good for pigs,
When your pig is small skim
milk is good for it, but as it grows
older you should feed it all the
green stuff possible. Peanuts is a
good feed for the pig.
Now, there is money to be made
out Of hogs; why should you live
on the farm and let life be drudg-
cry when it is the happiest life in
the world.
