A movement has been started in Tucson for the establishment of a territorial orphans home, and we can say to Tucson that however much Phoenix would like to have another territorial institution it would not try to take the home away from Tucson or any other town in which it might be located
 An orphans home is badly needed. There is no place in Arizona for the homeless orphan; that is, no suitable place only last week a young girl of this city was committed to the industrial asylum, whose name is only a euphemistic title for reform school The girl was not one of those for whom that institution was intended. Though she will be cared for there under the excellent direction of Col. AIahoney she will necessarily be brought into contact with girls who are not there as helpless orphans. but were committed because they were incorrigible or worse.
 The Crittenton home has temporar- ily cared for many orphans, though its mission is to raise fallen girls and women. Beside. it is with diff culty that the Crittenton home is maintained and enabled to dispense ,he kind of charity for which it was created. so that additional burdens should not be laid upon it.
 We trust that the Tucson move ment will have made such headway that at the next meeting of the legislature the home may be es- Jablished and provision be made for its maintenance.

The Mexican suffragettes will get there first, notwithstanding their be- lated start Things are done different
 ly in Mexico. All the ladies there have to do is to convince the gov ernment that they are with it and they are at once lifted to the political level of their brothers; perhaps above the level of male voters who happen to be "agin the government" In former times the votes of such dis persons didn't count. Per haps in the times to come they will count as little. It was, therefore, well for the petitioners for votes for women to mention casually in their petition that they were for Madero.

DemocraticF ght.

Twelve democrats of the senate. and that will be enough, have shown gleam of intelligence in declaring that they will vote down all amend mcnts to the reciprocity bill This declaration was made following an announcement of a coalition between the senate democrats and insurgents to make the passage of the bill con- tingent upon the approval by the senate of the house tariff program.
 Such a course by the democrats would have played into the hands of those standpatters who are seek ing to defeat reciprocity for the same reasons that they would try to defeat any reduction of the tariff It would have played into the hands of a small group of insur- gents headed by La Toilette, who are seeking the defeat of reciprocity as q means of embarrassing the president, though its defeat now could not prove embarrassing. however dis appointing it might be to MT. Taft.
 But the democrats have the wisdom to see that antagonism to reciprocity would not be good politics. Though an administration measure it has come to be a popular measure; though it may not embrace all the people de- sire, it goes a long way toward it-as far as it was possible to go at the time of the making of the agreement and as far as it is possible 60 go now.
 Tine president made it rather plain at the time of the calling of the extra session that he would con sent to no other tariff legislation un- til after the report of the tariff board has been presented. Since then, with in the last week-tO be more precise, on the night Of the announcement of the coalition, he let it be known that there would be no other tariff legisla- HULL A4iDuSn lNI4pAbtAAS AdiA-
 The people of the country have been made so well aware of the at titude of the president toward this blind tinkering in the house with the tariff that whatever ideas they them selves may have with respect to the need of immediate revision, they would regard with impatience any at tempt by congress to force the presi- dent, and if such an attempt should result in the defeat of reciprocity. those who had brought it about would receive no popular commendation for what they had been trying to do, but would be held responsible for what they had done.
