DOES HE DO IT?

Orson Sweet Marden, a very cap
able writer for Success Magazine
thinks he knows what's what in the
marriage line. He says:
When the husband gets ready to
regard him wife as an equal partner
IL the marriage firm instead of as
an employee with one-share in mil
lion-dollar company, or as merely a
house-keeper; when he is willing to
regard his income as much his wife's
as his own and not put herin the po-
sition of beggar for every penny she
gets; when he will grant her the same
privileges he demands for himself;
when he is willing to allow his wife
to live her own life in her own way
without trying to boss" her, we shall
have more true marriages, happier
homes a brighter civilization"
Here's trusting Mr.. Marden follows
his own preaching and is not like the
man who wrote the very sentiments

writer was prosecuted for bigamy.

WHERE TROUBLE ARISES.

The trouble with a legislative ses-
sion that is marked by much political
IaEimosity as was the late session in
this state is that many members
lined up" with their respective fac
tions instead of personally considering
the merits of measures being acted
upon.
In the last legislature, as pointed
ont by Messrs. Smith and Edwards,
correspondents of the Journal and
who have written book called BE
hind the Scenes at Salem," a great
many members blindly followed their
leaders wherever they might so.
Others, and Representative Peterson
Of this county was in this class, tried
t, really judge of the merits of bills
In other words they tried to be legis-
lators rather than political followers.
The remedy for the situation is out
lined by Speaker Jerry Rusk who has
a page in the little book. "The rene
sy probably lies in an awakening of
the people of the state to the neces-
sity of seeing that broad minded and
genuinely patriotic men are elected to
serve in the legislature, We
ought to have men who will vote up
on each proposed law upon its merits,
irrespective of what effect that vote
may have upon the passage or failure
OF the passage of his own pet meas
ures."

CoNFIpENCEs.

An interesting point in newspaper
ethics has been brought to the public
attention by the refusal of H. H.
Kohlsaat, publisher of the Chicago
Record-Herald to dislose who told
him that the interests had raised
$4,000 with which to bring about
q the election of Senator Lorimer.
According to Kohlsaat the informa-
don was given him in confidence. In
other words he could make use of the
information but he was not at liberty
to disclose the identity of his inform
ant He says the information came
from such a source that he believes
implicitly in its truthfulness but he
will go to Jail before he will violate
the newspaper code by telling the
rame of the man.
On the stand before the Hahn in
vestigating committee Kohlsaat ex-
planned his view of his duties in the
matter
'As I say, this was given to me in
confidence. The cardinal principle of
al honorable, upright newspaper man
Is confidence. When I engage club
reporter or put out a correspondent
or a financial man on the street, I
aay: Now, one thing you must un-
derstand from the start, that when
O man gives you piece of informa-
don in confidence. you, under no cir
cumstances whatever, must ever d.
vulge his name. If you do you will be
discharged, no matter how import
ant and vital to the newspaper that
information is
Now, 1 have talked that to my
boys and men and correspondents for
20 years, and nothing under heaven
would make me set an example OF
breach of confidence to my men and
tc the other newspaper proprietors
and the men of this country"
How important it is that a news
paper should respect the confidence
of parties furnising It with informa
ton will be better understood wher
t. is explained that many things are
told a newspaper ahead of time
The messages of the president anC
practically all important speeches ar
sent out in advance and are released
on the day of delivery. 1t also fre
Quently occurs that big business deal
that are pending are made known t
a reporter or a publisher in advance
The same is true wit respects to othe
stories.
Yet while 1t is important that news
paper men shold observe the code b.
keeping condolences when pledged +
do so 1t IL also apparent that at time
writers may be imposed upon by par
ties having personal axes to GRIND
For instance a man might seek to in
jure another by a malicious story an
at the same time shield himse
under the code. As a matter Of fax
this very thing Is often attempted.

RETURNED HOME TO

~ A. Morford's Pleasant Visit to
Tucson Followed by a Close
Call in Phoenix.

y. A Morford returned yesterday
from Tucson where he presided over
the Grand Commandery of knights
Templar in annual conclave, as grand
commander. The conclave was, per-
haps. the most important in many
years as a revised constitution, stat
utes and rules of order were adopted
and provision made for the revision
of the seal and asylum tactics At
the close of the conclave an elegant
past grand commanders jewel was
presented to Mr. Morford by the grand
commandery
George H. N Luhrs was chosen
grand commander for the ensuing
year.
Mr.. Morford says that though he
had a very satisfactory time in the
Old Pueblo he had more excitement
in about a half minute yesterday aft
ernoon i'm Phoenix than in a whole
week in Tucson.
While coming into the city on the
Tempe road with Mr.. Nye. who is as
ISOLATED with him in business, Mr.
Nye was driving the auto at clip

when one of the rear tires was cast
and there instantly ensued a mixup
that came within an ace of costing
both men their lives; the car shot
to one side of the road then to the
other like a flash, then turned side
wise and flung both gentlemen some
ten or fifteen feet and rolled over aft
er them lighting top down within a
few inches of them without touching
them. Two or three feet more would
have been disastrous
Strange to say Mr.. Nye escaped
without scratch and Mr. MOrford
with a badly skinned shin and
sprained ankle. but he is not letting
on that anything is the matter to-
day. 1t was a narrow escape from
serious injury or death.

kind of title was discovered. Men
were easily found who were willing
to lend money on such valuable prop
erty but that clause restricting the
use of it TO church purposes was in
the way. While il was hardly to
be considered that the mortgage
would ever be foreclosed there was
the possibility that it would be.
otherwise a mortgage would not be
required. And, if. under the form of
the title such a thing should hap
pen, it would be difficult to find a
purchaser who would want to use it
for church purposes.
The object of the suit is to pro-
cure the substitution for this re-
strictive clause of one that will al

other purposes.

How Orchards earn Money

The great returns which the fruit
growers of the Pacific Northwest are
receiving from intelligent handling of
the business are exciting some emu
lation in other parts OF the country.
Farmers in the older states are wax
Ing up to the fact that there Is far
more money to be made in fruit grow
ing than in the cultivation Of ordinary
farm crops; and occasionally one is
to be fouud who made the discovery
some years ago and who has been
prodting by it,
A progressive farmer of this type
was found in Kentucky, and he has
been giving some Of his experiences
10 the secretary of the Henderson
county commercial club. In his let
ter to the secretary the contrasts the
profit made by his orchard with that
of the land which he has kept under
cultivation in staple crops. He states
that his apples produce on the aver
age Il times as much net income per
acre as does the land under ordinary
farm crops, which in his neighbor-
hood consist OF corn, wheat peas,
! hay, and tobacco This was the case
last season when his apple crop was
only one-half as large as some that he
has gathered from his orchard. AZ
ter 80 years experience in apple
growing he finds that one year with
another trees from 10 to 80 years Of
age will average from 10 to 30 times
the amount OF net income per acre
that can be had from the ordinary
farm crops
These facts are thoroughly known
to the fruit growers of this state and
they have been profting by them for
many years. But what the Kentucky
farmer does not state; probably be-
cause he did not think Of it, is that
no such profit can be realized from
the ordinary farm orchard handled as
such orchards are in the East and
I Middle West Men make 20 or 30
times as much from an acre Of apples
as can be had from an acre Of ordin,
