at its best. This hurrying of product
to market swamps the railroad COM
panles and they are unable to move
the freight and enables the shrewd
dealers in the city to manipulate
prices, pushing them up or down, and
to reap rich harvest out of the farm
er on the one hand and the consumer
on the other. Colossal fortunes have
been built up through the grain ex.
changes. The principal factor that
enables them to do this is bad and at
times impossible roads.
If good roads advocates will conf1ne
their talk and recommendation to the
highways that will serve the people,
and such highways as the people can
afford to build, much greater progress
will be made.
In some instances good roads can be
built with gravel at hand at from $500
to $1,000 a mile. Where the gravel
must be shipped some distance the
cost will be double. When crushed
stone Is used and must be shipped
by train, the expense will be any,
where from $4,000 to $4,000 a mile.
Even at $4,000 a mile it would pay
well to build good roads upon the

There were 1,214 samples of seed
purchased, some of them In bulk and
some by mail order. OF these 2O4
were found to be adulterated. There
was some improvement in the line of
orchard grass seed examined. There
were BIT samples analysed and of
these twelve were found adulterated,
compared with fifty-five adulterated
samples the previous year. In the
worst samples found there was 81

DON'T PRETEND TO
BE WORLDLY WISE
/. IF YOU ARE NOT
1t Does Not Add to a Girls
Charm or Impress
Others.

r HAVE often wondered why it is
that girls, and nice girls, TOO
strive to give the impression that
they are women of the world, who
have had great deal of experience in
going to late suppers where the COM
pany was questionable.
By sundry knowing mods and looks
they impress one that they are IA
miliar with oh. lots and lots of differ
ent brands of liquors, that they act
ually know the difference between a
cocktail and highball and can speak
with knowledge ON the different
strengths of tobacco in various cigar
cites.
In some cases it is laughable. but
In all it is pathetic, this reaching aft
er the things upon which refinement
has placed its ban.
Why should any refined, well raised
girl wish to represent herself to the
public as a worldly wise creature,
whose knowledge of men and exper-
fence in the world has prejudiced her
to the simple pleasures of the home
and home people?
Sometimes when girl whose youth
has been spent in the shelter of the
home, tastes the delights of freedom
which comes from working in the
world, she meets people, girls and
young men, who find pleasure in these
late suppers, after theater parties and
automobile rides.
II she is not a very level headed
maiden she will in some manner feel
ashamed that she cannot tell of like
experiences, although why any well
raised girl should feel out of the run
ming because she has been used to the
simple things of life, 1 cannot see.
If she should stop to think that
half the girls who speak floutingly of
the little parties and evening socials
as being old fashioned and slow only
getting their opinion second hand and
know no more of the world than she
does she would not feel the necessity
for more exciting pleasures.
A bevy of schoolgirls were eagerly
listening to the tale of one of their
number, who until recently had been
their schoolmate. For some months
/ had been interested in this group
of girls and had noted the excitement
one morning not long ago when one
OF them announced that she had a
positi on."
On this particular day it seemed
she was telling them of going to the
theater with party of the new asso-
ciates "and," heard her say, 1--WE had
dandy old time. Afterwards we
went to ks and had something to
eat and" cher voice sank to a whis-
PERI "some ripping Burgundy"
l could tell by looking at her that
If she had anything to drink it was
probably pink lemonade, but here she
was delighting the other girls with
tales of her doings in the city.
If she really had been to late sup
per and some one suggested that she
drink a cocktail l know she would
have been Mortified. but l suppose
there is always a sort of fascination
IN trying TO represent oneself as a
heartless firt and one thoroughly ia
miliar with the excitements and I'M
healthy pleasures which the city may
afford.

Lacking-Wonderful Progress In
Campaign for Better Highways
Cut Out All Fads.
BY howard Il. Gross.

If one looks carefully over the press
clippings that come in upon the ques-
ton of good roads, he will be aston.
ished at several things.
First, the widespread interest that
is taken in the subject. Better high
ways are being discussed everywhere
in the shop, store, the school, at
the cross roads, women's clubs, grain
exchanges, boards of trade, railway
meetings, etc. The advocates of good
roads are as thick as humble bees in
a clover patch. All sorts of solutions
are offered, most of which are imprac-
ticable, and if undertaken would be
simply waste Of time and money. 1t
reminds one of the remark of a philos-

E., A VALUABLE INVENTION.

An Illinois wise man comes for
ward with simple device which
should fill long-felt want, partic.
ularly in those homes where daugh
tiers are fairly numerous. This new
ornamental and useful bit of furni.
ture is the gumboard, and will be
found s2table for parlor, dining
room or bedroom. Hung on the wall
with the names of all gum-chewing
members of the family arranged in a
circle about it, and polka dot indi-
eating the spot to store the gum, and
properly ornamented with ribbon to
match the wall paper, it should be a
JOY forever. 1t will not only relieve
the plaque or the picture of kin that
has become tiresome, but it will save
the bottoms of the chairs and table.
the carpet, and occasionally the gum.
The gum board is simpler than the
nying machine, but it was a long
time getting here, considering the de-

If it costs five dollars to transport load of farm produce over q given piece of bad road. and only two dol lars over the same piece of road after it has been improved, that is say ing of three dollars the load.

amount utterly beyond the cOmpre
 hension of the human mind. The American mechanic lives better, has more cOmforts-more luXuries. even than had the kings and princes Of the Middle Ages And better than all else. there is not position of politi- cal preferment to which the poorest boy in America may not aspire. And,
 if these insurgents know anything about American history. they know that the poor boys generally get those positions, too.
 What else have We done in this country? We freed three millions of slaves; We extended our domain un- til it embraces in continental Amer ica 3,700.O00 square miles of land; We gave to the world the miracles of in vention that have driven civilization forward thousand years: we estab- lished a free school system such as lHt NoIlu lldu never hiloNA' we llu'S thrown the mantle of human freedom over millions of the oppressed of other lands; We have set the pace for the world in philanthropy; and we have demonstrated the greatest truth of which the race has ever dreamed the success of popular government.
 But all this is flouted by insur- gency Insurgency says opportunity is dead. Insurgency says the money trust is supreme Insurgency says muck raking is about the most pro- fitabl4 and the most honorable work in which men can engage. Insur- gency says our government is honey combed with corruption, that human liberty has been strangled by the interests"
 It is a shameful attitude. The very men who owe everything they have in the world to the institutions under which they live. are deriding those institutions as corrupt and worthless.
 It is precisely as though man were wearing a handsome suit of clothes that had been given him with put a cent of cost; and then went about maIiciously deriding the tailor by whom the clothes were made.

Taft's Master Stroke.

There are two conspicuous features about the latest developments in the passport matter. one is the absolute and unequVocal insincerity of the democratic members of congress; and the other is the fact that President Taft, though in no sense a politician, yet has succeeded in putting one over on the democratic contingent in this instance. Tn anticipating the work of the house of representatives and in paving the way for the abrO- gation of the Russian treaty of 1892 not only has Mir. Taft done the coun- try a signal service but. he has grace fully showed the democratic majority into the hole this same majority had dug for him.
 A few days ago The Republican said editorially that Senator Culber- son and the greater number of the house democrats did not care a bau- bee about the Jewish citizens of the United States and the indignities they had suffered at the hands of the Rus sian government This paper said at the time the Sulzer resolution was passed that almost it's sole object was the manufacture of campaign ma terial. and now that President Taft has stepped in and by a sing'e stroke accomplished all the congress could have hoped to accomplish, and done it in way that is at once states manlike and diplomatic, CulbersonI and his cOnfreres have raised a howl like that which emanates from an angry youngster when deprived of its favOrite tin rattle
 The president is trying to steal the democratic thunder" is the cry. Whatever distinction comes from the settlement of the passport question must go to the democrats is another plaintive note heard above the chorus
 
 with it all there is never word of satisfaction that our Jewish citizens Never a word about the vindicatiop of the United States government. Never a word about the national pres tige that will come from MT. Tafts splendid piece of work. It is all a question of partisanship. It is pea nut politics of the cheapest variety. The democrats were playing battle dore and shuttlecock with the rights of our citizens and they were doing it solely and simply for partisan ad- vantage
 It certainly seems this matter is too important to be handled in that way. The Republican would have been satisfied with the passage of either the Sulzer or the Culberson resolutions. It is eminently satisfied that the matter is to be settled by executive order. If the democrats could have secured an advantage from the one course. or if the president can secure an advantage from the other is, it seems to this paper. of secondary importance. The main thing is that the honor of the United States be maintained and the rights of their citizens be protected.
 One is tempted to inquire if there is nothing too sacred or too import ant to be used for partisan advant age. Here was a situation in which the most sacred rights of men were invaded. and these men are citizens of the United States of America. They are entitled to the protection
Arizona republican., 1911-12-20

of the government of their country. That protection has been accorded to the fullest extent by the action of the president The result has been accomplished. The best thing has been done that could be done And yet in the face of all these facts. the democratic majority is ready to sacrifice all that has been gained in order to deny to the president the just credit for his splendid work.
 It is pitifully small It is pitifully mean And it is all the more small and mean because the men at the head of it are the men entrusted with the discharge of the highest charac- ter of public duty.
 Culberson has showed himself statesman Of q mighty cheap order. What are the rights of the Jewish citizens to him, when compared with the aggrandizement of one Culberson? Less than nothing. SulZer was prob ably honest. The guarding of the rights of our citizens was probably with him the first consideration. But Culberson has shown himself pitt fully small and pitifully weak. And he is the man who was once prom inently mentioned as a possible can didate for the exalted office of presi- dent of the United States.

 It would be a very unnatural gath ering if there were not some selfish interest to be expressed in the con- vention, for primarily every human being is first looking for Number One. IL is not conceived that there can be a dissenting voice as to the main purpose of the convention-the or SaniZatiOn of a tri-state association. and the encouragement of good roads in every possible way. But roads cannot go everywhere all at once. and there is apt to be some rivalry as to the influence of the convention on various subjects, particularly that of transcontinental route. concern ing which there is much interest
 lt was understood last night that an effort will be made to secure the conventions decision on a general route for such a road across Arizona It was also understood that the issue was to be whether the association would favor route that practically paralleled the main line of the Santa Fe or whether it would favor route west of Phoenix practically identical with the well known road racing course. and east of Phoenix via Roosevelt Globe.
