This Is Ea SN

A contemporary raises an ethical ouestion regarding the relation of a county attorney of this state to his constituents in certain cases. For instance. in the Yavapai tax cOntro- versv. it has been asked whether 1t is not the duty of the county attor- ney to defend the people of that county rather than the board of su- nervisors who are at logger heads with the state authorities. Assuming that the board is not acting in the interests of the people, or in accord ance with the will of the majority of them. it is suggested that the county attorney might better perform his duty to the people by resigning.
 That tax controversy is not here a subject of discussion. We are deal- ing only with the duty of the county attorney. The question is so easy of solution that we wonder that it has been put forward at all The county attorney is the legal adviser and representative of the board of supervisors as the board is the rep resentative of the people of a county The county attorney could not appear for the people in any case if he so desired for the people could not be organized. In this case the people are not in court except in the person of the board and we can conceive of no way by which the county attorney and the people could be brought di- rectly together in the relation of counsel and client.
 We do not know how a majority of the people of Yavapai feel about this tax matter; whether they approve the action of their representative, the board of supervisors, or not. But anyway, that is no concern of the courts which have heard this case. It is concerned only in ascertaining whether through the blundering of the legislature a law exists permitting the Yavapai board to do what it has done In time, that will be deter mined.
 As We have said, the people are not as a group of individuals, party tc this action and they cannot be made a party. Their only early expression of opinion regarding the action of the board could be given through recall proceedings, a democratic conspiracy Last summer made possible by demo- cratic blundering in the constitutional convention, having deprived them Ot the right to say this fall whether they are satisfied with the conduct of their state and county officials who have been foisted upon them for a period of three years.

FINANCES AND MARKETS
ASSOCIATED PRESS DIsPArcHl


 NEW YORK, Sept. 27-Regardless of the monetary situation which was sufficiently tense to cause the local banks to call more loans today the stock market manifested strong un- dertone. The movement was at times irregular and the total output the smallest for several days. Money on call opened a fraction higher than yes terday and soon rose to per cent. The rate eased in the afternoon when the market recorded top prices under the leadership of Steel, which scored the highest price of the year on ex- ceptionally large offerings. Other standard shares were also in demand. The further rise of Steel and allied issues was generally accredited to trade conditions, which showed in creased activity in all the leading cen ters of that industry.
 Similar conditions prevailed in the copper trade. An unexpected inflow of money from the interior promised to reduce the cash losses of local banks to an unusual figure. Bonds were steady. Total sales reached a par value of s2,60O ,O0O. Governments remained unchanged on call

The Pedagogue and the Statesman

The economic discussion in which MT Roosevelt has become engaged with Governor Wilson promises to be a real treat Governor Wilson has demonstrated to his entire satisfaction that the program of the progressives would foist upon this government an army of bureaucrats who would swarm over the land, interfering with every act of the individual, stifling initiative and suppressing human liberty.
 Mir Roosevelt, on the other hand, convicts the governor of chnging to "a bit of outworn academic doctrine which was kept in the schooIroom and the professional study for a genera ton after it had been abandoned by all who had experience in actual life MT. Wilson's statement, he says, means that every law for the promotion of social and industrial justice which has been put upon the statute books ought to be repealed, and every law proposed should be abandoned, for, without eX- ception, every such law represents an increase of governmental power"
 Each candidate is convicted, on the statement of the other, of advocating theories equally tmpracticable and un- desira ble. The one would turn back the pages of progress and make the dear people fair game for what MT. Bryan used to love to call the octopus. We should be left completely at the mercy of every greedy. unscrupulous corporation. The alternative presented by the other is mile upon mile of red tape, in which the individual would be wound more tightly than an Egyptian mummy in its bandages.

Rev Thomas B. Gregory, who has trod the by-paths of history for a score of years, has picked up many an incident, many of them important. which would otherwise have been overlooked by the general reader MT Gregory has been continually in the service of the Hearst papers for twenty years and his work has been distinguished for it's interest and it's accuracy. Yet, in a recent allusion to the Mountain Meadow massacre in southern Utah more than a half cen tury ago he states that the leader of the Mormons and Indians who at tackled the immigrants was John D. Long. MT. Gregory has in mind, John D. Lee, who was executed in Salt Lake city, we think, in the late sew enties. We are not certain, but we believe that John D. Lee esta b!ished Lees Ferry, one of the few crossings of the Colorado in this state The only john D. Long of comparatively recent fame was secretary. of the navy during the administration of Presi- dent Mckinley.

IOWA PRESS COMMENTS.
(To Be Continued.)

Des Moines Register and Leader: In
1904 there was no opposition to my
candidacy that made the question OF
patronage Of any Importance. II any
such influence was used in 1908 call
attention that l, as president, did not
use it for my own benefit.-Mr. Rooso-
velt's answer to Taft.
Is that frank statement? Men
might put various estimates on what
was for their own benefit. Perhaps
Mr.. Roosevelt looked on nominating
Taft as for his own benefit.
The question Is not for whose bene-
fit patronage was used in 1908. The
question is, was patronage used to con-
troll the national convention and die
tate the nomination?
If Mr.. Roosevelt used federal patron
age to force the nomination of Taft,
his motive would be no different than
Taft's motive now in using 1t to force
his own denomination Nor would the
opprcbrium be any the less in one case
than in the other, for the presidents
second term could net possibly be any
bigger blunder than his first.

Then why did he keep staring and

But he stared at you, too"

This fattering explanation did not

cried. Come quick"
But Matt was too late; the man had
disappeared in the direction Of the sa-

that sought his own was as cold az

Matt had intended to go to Snood

EXPORTS OF SEWING MACHINES

Sewing machine exports in the cur
rent fiscal year will make their high
est record and will probably aggregate
$4,000, 900, according to report OF
the department of commerce and Ia
bor. Over s16O,000.000 worth have
been exported from the United States
during the forty eight years since the
official record of their commercial
movement began, Of which sum $780,
900 900 worth, or one half the total,
we're exported in the brief period
since 1900.
Figures compiled by the department
indicate that sewing machi.'es have
for many years been an important fac
tor Of the export trade. In 1864, the
earliest year for which a record is
available. the exports amounted to ST.
O62.70s: in 1872, $2,436.OS5; In 1882,
s2,647,515; in 1892, s3,13s. 992; in 1902,
S4,O22, 697; and in 1912 will probably
show a total Of $1O,0O0,0O0. The steady
and substantial character Of the
growth is even more apparent from a
study of the movement by decades. In
the period from 1864 to 1870 the ex-
ports of sewing machines aggregated
little over $10,000,000; in the decade
1s71-so, s1s,0oo,00O; in the decade
1880, s26.000,oo0; in the decade
1s91-1eOO, over $20,oo,oo0; in the de-
cade 19O1-10, more than SCI 100000,
the average yearly exports having thus
increased from s1.50o.000 in the 1864
70 period to over s6,000.O00 in the de-
cade ending with 1870 with indications
that the current year will record a
total of approximately s10,00O,0o0.
The countries to which these in
creasing exports of sewing machines
are distributed represent every grand
division Of the world. Europe leads
all other sections, last years exports
thereto having aggregated s4,06s,672 in

WHO WOULDN'T HAVE A oEwDAR

WHO WOULDN'T HAVE A DEWDA8
A campaign against slang has been
inaugurated at Wellesley college.
Some Of the English profs have found
it difficult to get Jerry, so to speak
to the undergraduate conversash, and
demand a change. News dispatches
indicate that some of the Wellesley
girls have acquired q line of slang
that lacks nothing in forcefulness II
not in originality. Some Of the pet
slang words are "celebs," "dewdabs,"
"piffle," 'bats," straight credits"
"cuts and chunks peanut"
"crushes," ct. M "v. LIS" kim
mic" and long list of others.
Some of the words are explained, but
no key is given to the other code
words. "Celebs," is an abbreviation
OF "celebreties" and really isn't half
bad slang. "Dewdabs" Is Wellesley
for masculine kisses. A CRUSH is an
escort who will do as q substitute
when the favored male friend is not at
hand. A "pill' and a peanut" is q
low-browed gent who doesn't count
much. In explaining lah-de-dah, an
other pet expression, a little more
slang is given in the explanation that
it means to be 'dolled' up.
The English language wouldn't be
injured much by cutting out such
words as "crush," pill" peanut"
"piffle," bats" and "lah-de-dah," for
this is old stuff in slang, and in the
best slang-slinging circles old slang Is
tabooed. But the Wellesley girls
should rally and save that word "dew-
dabs." 1t has yummy sound about
it that stamps it not only as distinct
acquisition to the English language,
but as something worth fighting for.
