BRUTALITY.
Southern Pacific Official Denies Water
to Strikers Wife and Babe, Even
Though Payment Was Offered.

Tucson. Ariz.-According to The
Voice of the People published in this
city. the Southern Pacific officials are
indeed desperate and have resorted to
exceedingly brutal tactics, tnat the strik-
ers on the system may be crushed. The
paper states: Even Digger Indian or
a Papago buck on the warpath will turn
over rock and allow a squaw with a
newborn pappoose the first pick of the
fat grubs which may be found beneath
it. but it has remained for an official of

DAYS old when the order was issued by
the railroad superintendent. and on &C
count of the order the wife of w. E.
Stewart. a striking boilermaker at Gila
Bend, Arizona, out in the desert, miles
from civilization. is without water for
the nurse to wash the linen. which the
simplest demands of sanitation. to say
nothing of civilization. require in such
cases. There are two kinds of water at
ella Bend-the water which the engines
must use-it eats the flues out of boil

the unbreakahle lines of the shopmen
who would not return to work until the
grievances are adjusted, issued his order
to cut on the water from all strikers at

money was offered by his father-in-law.

eyes of his suffering wife, unable to

craved. but the money was refused by

AUSTRIAN DEMONSTRATION.

Carlsbad. Austria-This city, itself
one of the most expensive places to live
in Europe, has keenly felt the increased
cost of living A general shortage of
crops has caused a big rise in prices of

against the price of foodstuffs was
made. Laboring people, between four
and five thousand. mostly from the china
factories near the clty-and their wives
marched in q body to the court house
and presented a formal protest against
the high prices. As result, the city
council ordered five carloads of potatoes
from an adjacent town. and before the
arrival OF the shipment the entire
amount WIS sold at the rate OF slice per
100 kilos (22O.46 poundsl. while the reg

The Southwestern Extension.

Prof. James Douglas no doubt states
the precise truth in saying: 1.-THE
directors of the Ell Paso & South
western do not contemplate extend
ing the line to Phoenix at present"
But it is especially worthy of note
that none of the Southwestern Off
Gals will speak of what may be done
in the future. For more than a year
it has been an open secret that the
Southwestern would build to Tue
son; but not until last week was ii
possible to get official confirmation
of the reports which had been in cir
culation so long concerning this ex-
tension. Railway owners are not to
be blamed for declining to publicly
discuss their ideas as to new lines
before their plans have been ma
tured.

More News of Spies

The arrest of a private in the coast
artillery on the charge that he is an
Austrian spy, his purpose, it is sup
posed, being to learn the composition
and navy shells, the official state
ment is made at Washington that
this is by no means an isolated
case. Ample evidence has been gath
cred to prove that spies of various
foreign governments have been at
work for some time trying to learn
all the secrets of the American mill
tary establishment. In Calcutta an
Englishman picked up in the street
some blueprints showing all the de-
tails of the defenses of Corregidor
island at Manila. AS the prints
were not copies of any American
drawings, the evidence was conclus-
i've that some foreigner had made
a careful survey of the Corregidor
defenses, and had accidentally lost
the blueprints. Less than year ago
two japanese were arrested at Manila
as spies, and were found to be in
possession of photographs and draw
ings of the Manila defenses. There
twas at that time no law covering
their case and they were released. A
A waiter in a Seattle hotel was
found to be a japanese officer in
disguise He had drawings and notes
lof various Pacific coast defenses A
foreigner arrested in New York on
"a trivial charge was found to have
military maps and other information
concerning our army. Several other
cases are mentioned by the Washing
ton authorities, all going to show that
the spies of foreign governments have
been industriously trying to learn
everything worth knowing concern
ing the military affairs of the United
States.
The safest course for Uncle Sam
probably. is to make our defenses
SO complete, our battleships so per-
fleet and our army and navy so eff
ficient that the more our foreign
friends spy upon them the worse they
will like the situation.

The Direct Primary.

Last fall, during the campaign for
the constitutional convention, The Re
publican repeatedly laid emphasis on
one proposition-that of all the re-
form measures proposed. the most
valuable and the most practical was
the direct primary.
We pointed out that acceptance of
this principle, advocated as it was by
the republican party locally, would
go far to cure the various political
ills of which the people had a right
to complain. We pointed out that
with the direct primary the people
would be placed in absolute and COM
plete control of their own affairs, for
the direct primary would rob the
party boss and the party machine
of their power and enable the peo-
pie to name for office whomsoever
they wished.
We pointed out that, no matter
how much merit the initiative and
referendum and recall might prove to
have on trial, the inviting course for
the people of Arizona to take was
to adopt the direct primary, make
sure of statehood, and thereafter ex-
pertinent all they pleased with new
principles of government.
We. are reminded of all this by
noting in a local paper-which last
fall could find no room for any,
thing in commentator Of the direct
'primary-an acknowledgement that
the direct primary is Of much greater
practical Importance to Arizona than
the recall.

WITHOUT PRECEDENT.

It's advertised as "hlgh and COOL"
A place where "breezes always
blow"
But when you come you find the
rule
Is ninety in the shade or so;
The natives pant and roll their eyes,
And keep repeating Ger and o'e;
This formula, to make you wise:
1T never was this way before!"
And if it rains for days and days,
AS it is almost sure to do,
Old timers saw. in mild amaze,
Its very strange! We never knew
A season when ii wasn't clear
Except for showers-nothing more
This weather now is very queer,
1t never was this way before!"
II flies are thick (they always are).
II ants and Junebugs are a pest,
If, singing sweetly near and far,
Mosquitoes never give you rest,
Here is the talk you're sure to get
While fighting insects by the score:
"Yes, they are very bad, and yet
They never were this way before"
1t doesn't matter where you land,
BY mountain rill or seaside spot,
They try to make you understand
That when you're there the place
is not,
In fact, they very much deplore,
And young and old alike agree:
1T never was this way before
