Our Greatest Industry

MT. Ezra w. Thayer, the Phoenix mer- chant whose faith in the value of the mining industry to Phoenix is such that he pays literally foR advertis- ing space in which to publish letters which citizens address to him on the subject, has put his shoulder to d wheel which this community should keep rolling.
 As is pertinently stated in MT. Genung's letter which NIT. Thayer published Sunday. Phoenix and the valley got their growth in the be- ginning from the trade with the min ing industry and from capital gain ed from mining, and the north and south" railroad-the Santa Fe, Pres colt & Phoenix - the coming of which gave such an impetus to the growth of the city, was an outgrowth of the development of mines to the north of us. And, as MT. Genung says. while the life of a mine is linn ited, this is all the more reason why there should be steady encouragement for the development of new mines. Within actual sight of Phoenix, north. east and south, there are prospects which in a strictly mining country would attract capital for development without difficulty. A serious handi- cap for these promising mining dis tricts is, it seems. the very fact that they are situated so near to this city-a commercial city which is in no sensefa mining camp. Attrac- tions for capital in other directions have been such, and there have been so many other things to engage the attention of business 4en. that the possible development of nearby pros poets into actively producing mines of great value has had only passing thought.
 And 1t is not alone these nearby mining districts which should have the attention of our people. There should be practical recognition or the fact that Phoenix is the hub of the territory-the financial center-and that everything which we may do to boost the mining industry in Ari- zona is a boost" for the city, more or less directly.
 For some months the business of developing new mines has been dor many signs of revival. Carefully re- training from the publication of mis- leading and unreliable information so far as possible. The Republican will keep its readers advised of the TO- gross of this revival in all the camps and districts.

The News When It Is News

Poor Archie Hoxsey fell from the sky at F minutes past two o'clock. Saturday afternoon. The mere fact was the "big" news of the week for the west, for Hoxsey was d Pasa- dena lad. which made his death a matter of local interest in all the coast country And the details of the awful occurrence made it news of prime importance. But carly as it happened. there was not even a flash of it printed in the afternoon papers that circulate hereabouts, al- though they should have had more than a ''flash'-they should have had the news in the usual skeleton form that afternoon papers print news. Most of the news of real importance has it's origin 50 late in the day that afternoon papers can print nothing of it. and such as they can furnish is generally a mere hint of what the morning papers will print in full But the Hoxsey tragedy happened so early in the day that the afternoon papers which are newspapers publish ed at least an outline of the story The local readers of afternoon pa pers had, however, no hint of what had happened on DomingueZ field until The Republican appeared Sun day morning. And. of course, The Republicans story was complete. If one has a curiosity to know in sat isfying way what is going on in the world-and know it immediately af- ter it happens-he can satisfy such curiosity in but one way: by read ing a newspaper printed in the early hours of the morning. It is true that country afternoon papers ire auentIy piece out" their meagrc skeleton report of telegraphic news by clipping stuff from metropolitan papers printed many days before. and changing the date lines so as to make it appear that the narrative is of 'to- day.. but such a performance is m reality a fraud upon readers. The difference between a great morning daily like The Republican, and such afternoon papers as Arizona readers know, is the difference between a newspaper and an almanac.

ToLsToI AND EDUCATION.
4 Good Man Who Teaches Morals Not
 Fit for Children.

Tolstoi was a good man who taught thoroughly bad morals, says G. k. Chesterton in the London Illustrated News. Human history has been full of these men; in fact, they are respon- sible for a great bulk of the calami- ties of human history. The Roman Stoics were good men. but when they taught that each man must be suffi- cient to himself they taught a false morality which did infinite harm. The English and Scotch Puritans were good men (some of them). but when they preached that art must be en- tirely kept out of religion they preached a false morality which has done infinite harm. MT. Smiles, the industrial optimist who wrote Self Help" q wonder if he invented the name SmiIes). was. l dare say. good man; but when he preached that the way to help God was to help yourself (to money as a rule), he preached false morality which is doing harm to this day And Tolstoi was a good man. though he was a typical aristo- crat; and lessons can really be drawn for all of us from his sincerity. his self control, his consistency in mental pursuit. But the last fact is still that he preached a false morality. He did preach, and preach explicitly, courage Ously, and with a quite honorable cIearness. that if you see a man flog- ging a woman to death you must not hit him. l would much sooner let leper come near a little boy than man who preached such a thing.
 The educational authority that re- fused to circulate Tolstoi among chill dren was quite right. and in hny case was quite within it's rights If cer- tain number of honest Tolstoians have certain number of honest little boys, let them teach their own little boys that it is always wrong to fight They will find it hard, by thunder,-as Ste venson's pirates say. But a national school has no more right to allow Tol- stoi to teach the national children that resistance is wrong than it has to al- | low Mahomet to teach them that po l Iygamy is right. Tolstoi was great man; Mahomet was a greater; but the education of young children does not consist in telling them the various and contradictory opinions of great men. I could quote opinions of great men in favor of hideous cruelty
 bowling anarchy, vicious insanity, and blank surrender. It consists, as said before in telling them that so far as possible what we conceive to be the ! truth; the fundamental verities of | life It is not of necessity unreason- able to keep out of the nursery au- thors much more valuable than TOlstoi will ever be. Our educatjOnists would probably shudder at keeping Shakes
 peare from children. Yet would any one not keep Rabelais from children?
 Nevertheless. there are no two things more certain than that Rabelais in
 France and Shakespeare in England are the two real literary giants of the Renaissance and that Rabelais is slightly the more morally healthy of the two.

DR. ELIOT IN MILWAUKEE

Dr. E!iots visit tO Milwaukee to study the socialist municipal govern ment did not shake his conviction that socialism has no future in Am
 erica. but he comedies that the SO cialists are giving Milwaukee excel lent administration. and that Mayor Sedel is an official of whom any community could be proud. For Mayor Seidel,' says pr. Eliot. "I have. the greatest admiration. He is honest. able and at the same time an exponent of simplicity. I found him most interesting. He is distinctly at tractive. and seems to be convinced of the wisdom of his plans, and he impresses me and all other visitors as an essentially righteous man. In Milwaukee he has done things-made Improvements which have never been attempted in other American cities. Most interesting is his employment of experts, and not only experts from Milwaukee, but from outside the state, to suggest municipal improve ments." Praise from such a source ought to be worth reelection to the mayor. Dr. Eliot reveals his fair ness. too. in paying such compli- ments to an official who is striving to introduce q system which the doc tor believes would prove a blight to civilization.-Springfield Republican.
