C0MMUTER MADE, NOT BORN
Contrary to General Belief, He Is Not Merely Man Who Lives In
 Suburbs.

The commuter Is peculiarly a prod uct of modern civilization. He is made, not born. Contrary to the general belief, a commuter Is not merely a man who lives in the suburbs, but a man who, living in the suburbs, must use the railroad regularly in going to and from the city. Thus automobil- ists, farmers (gentlemen or other wise), and local tradesmen are not commuters.
 It requires great executive ability and perfect self-control to be a suc- cessful commuter. One must be able to sleep serenely until 7:30, get up, dress in dignified leisure, Fletcherize his breakfast, chatting pleasantly the while with his family, and then saun- ter down to the station without the slightest fear that he will get there either ten seconds too early or ten seconds too late for the SOP.
 The men one sees wildly running for the train, watch in one hand and a mutton chop in the other, and the men who get to the station five or six minutes too soon were never cut out for commuters. They should move back to the city, for they will never be successful. They are neophytes, tyros, bunglers, failures.
 Every college in the country should have it's course in committing, for there could be no better training for a young man who is about to enter business, with it's many exactions in the yay of method and system.- Judge.

GATHER A REMARKA-
A ble protest has reached

A OO 1i0'' N'
 members of Congress, advocating in no unmistaka- ble terms the desire of its au- thors to have two bills, known as Senate bill No. 88I7 and that part of House resolution No. 26,o8I, providing for a dam in the Colorado river, killed. On the front page of the pamphlet containing the protest 1t is claimed that the measures are a fifty million dollar steal," and there Is some more bold type calling upon Congress to "save water and power of the Colorado river for the people, The two bills have to do with the Parker water enterprise and the War ren bill, which by the title is to provide for the reclamation of land in Indian reservations along the Colorado river. Nei-  ther measure is particularly active at this time.

Now on top of all the other election scandals that have come from different parts of the country, 1t IS alleged that the election of Speaker Can non may be subjected to Con- gressional investigation. The grand jury in Danville, Hi nois, has been going into the charges made respecting the purchase of votes, and if there IS a real investigation as to the matter and 1t results in bringing sensational disclos- ures, it is not at all unlikely that the Speakers foes at the capital will make the most of any opportunity that may pre- sent itself.

@ELEGATE CAMERON 1H has secured favorable

action from the com mittee for the bill making the levy of taxes for Arizona. The bill almost in its entirety has been approved by the com mittee, the exceptions being in reference to one or two mi nor matters 1t was thought should be left to the judgment of the board of control of the territory. These matters re- fer to the appropriation of $500 for the conference of governors and the aid of the territorial fair. The provis- ions of section 7 of the bill re- fers to the session laws of the twenty-fourth legislative as sembly of the territory, and amends so that where 1912 appears the provision will ex- tend to 1914. Ample provis- ion is made in the bill for the protection of antelope until March I, 1913, the date being fixed with reference to provid- ing for the preservation of those animals until the legis- lature can take up the matter.
