our InEEs And FLOWERS
81 MRS. I. r. WALpRon

The influence of our native plants
upon ourselves and upon u surround
ings is almost boundless. The impor-
lance of Arbor Day. in this respect, in
the enlargement and conservation Of our
natural resources and in the attainment
of a higher plane Of culture and refine
ment, can not be over estimated. But
the influence of the plants extends the
whole year through. The silent teach
ing of the plants turns the mind of
man away from our artificial humdrum
of life to the Creators restful Offering of
the trees, shrubs and plants.
1t is gratifying to note the increasing
interest and enthusiasm of our people
in the surrounding country. Their work
will exert a lasting influence upon the
rising generation. We must not forget
that We have a rising generation to
teach. We must teach them to love the
prairie and to look around and about
them occasionally to see the really Won
derful things that oftimes lie in our
somewhat somber environment.
Burroughs says, THE student and
lover of nature has this advantage over
people who CAD up and down the world.
seeking some novelty or excitement he
has only to stay at home and see the
procession pass. The GREAT globe
swings round to him like a revolving
showcase: the change of the season is
like the passage of strange and new
countries; the zones of the earth. with
all their beauties and marvels, pass
ones door. and linger long in the pass
ing. What a voyage is. this we make
without leaving for a night our own
fresidel" Can we not teach those de-
pendent upon us to look upon nature
somewhat as this great nature poet
does?
It should not be an uncommon thing
to have a corner of u yards devoted
to native shrubs and flowers. If we are
to install this love-of-nature in those
that are coming. we cannot begin too
early. Let them plant this corner of the
yard it will serve as instruction as
well as play. If all work and no play
makes Jack dull and Jill as we'll, the
converse is equally true.
The cultivation of our native plants
will have considerable influence upon
those who cultivate them. This fact I
have tried to make clear. But there is
another wonderful fact in the case. The
cultivation Of our native plants has an
charging and broadening influence upon
the plants themselves. This effect is
largely physical in character. but not
entirely SO. We have a give and take
effect here which is really surprising, =
a mutual benefit society as it were.
There are many beautiful flowers
that bloom on our prairies year after
year that are scarcely noticed. Let us
take some of these plants. cultivated
and see what they will do. The basque
flower, our earliest bloomer, will do
wonders when transplanted. I have
seen such plants, when given Care, pro-
duce as many as "a blooms at one time.
Many of our wild composites. now al
most unknown. should figure prominent
ly in our seedmen's catalogues.
The teachers of our country schools
can do much towards an increase Of
knowledge of our natural resources. Let
us lend a helping hand to help preserve
our native trees and shrubs that ouI
children may say.

A KANSAS LESSON.

Gallantry, or what would be called "chivalry" in the South, has for many years past animated inc average kansan in his voting.
 A peculiar condition has long cxsited
 in that state regarding the eligibili- ties of women as office holders. Per haps among all of the peculiaritics of Kansas nothing has been more dis tinguishing than laws under which women can hold state offices, from the highest to the lowest, without the privilege of voting The Kansan has found nothing in the theory that only voters should be eligible to of flee, He has tretated this as contempt uously as other old and time worn ideas the world has been accepting without question. The Kansan has always been without reverence. He has been an iconoclast from the start.
 Now he has conferred unlimited state suffrage upon women, not, how ever, because he has discovered that office holders should be voters. The world will regard the new step as a natural evolution, and such, no doubt, it is. But the Kansan must have had some special and particular req sons of his own, and in searching for these we naturally fall upon the one that the male politicians there may have been growing afraid of the women as competitors in office seek ing The records show that female office holders have increased steadily in Kansas since women were made eligible. This year, on the same day which conferred unlimited state suff. rage on women, Kansas elected 200 women to county offices in her lOs counties In Kansas there are women probate judges. district court clerks. registrars of deeds, county trcasur- CTS, clerks and superintendents.
 The gallantry of Kansas has long made it hard row to hoe for any

man running against a woman for an office. The majority of men have al most uniformly voted for the woman. The bringing of all their woman kind into the electorate may be a trick of male politicians to get p fair chance iu hold few of the remain ing offices and get back some they have lost They may have calculated that women voters would favor the opposite sex as the men have, in con tests between men and women for office. Kansas is student of psy- chology And this may he les son"

CAMPAIGN EXPENSE JOKE.

Washington dispatches indicate that many new congressman and senators seem to regard the law re- Iating to campaign expenses as q joke.
 The figures which have been re. ported to the clerk of the house and the senate seem to be SO widely at variance with what the congress- men arc popularly believed to have expended that it is little wonder tha, the correspondents who have exam. ined the book in which the record is kept arc now calling il the Joke Book"
 Some of the congressman get be- hind that ancient device of Pub licity League" setting forth the amounts which they gave to this or that league, or committee, composed of course, of their own friends so that fl money was cxtravagantly or unlawfully spent it would he this committee or league and not the con gressman himself Tn this way thou sands of dollars may be accounted for by candidate and yet he may escape any culpability.
 The real purpose of the law is thus evaded. The intent of the law is to compel each congressman to make an honest accounting of the receipts and expenditures of his campaign to the end that he shall not exceed the limit of $5.0OO, i'm. posed by congress, and, secondly, that he may not use this money in improper ways.
 Hut it is very evident from the hlings already made that the law IS full of loophoies. and that it com pels a congressman to tell nothing that he does not wish to tell and en- ables him to evade the spirit as we'll as the letter of the law.

MORE CANDIDATES
 FOR FEDERAL JUDGE
Latest Aspirant For Position Held By Judge Sloan is H. D. Ross
 Of Prescott.

for Yavapaii county has his eyes on that position and s. l.. Pattee. of Tucson, must also be considered in this appointment.
 There, has however, comc up a little wonderment to who Governor Hunt will appoint to the Supreme Court of Arizona if one of the mem. bers of this tribunal should be se- lected, and instantly upon that sug. gestion all the prominent candidates for the federal judgcship immediately become candidates for the Arizona supreme court, showing, that what ever else they may lack. the average democratic lawyer and often times the lawyer considerably above the average, knows how to be a perrenial candidate.
 There is little more speculation in connection with the mention of these candidates, and that is, the fact that in some cases two mem bSiS VI d SihkiV law uIhu nave Ocen mentioned and in other cases more than one lawyer from a single coun- ty.
 It has been suggested that in eases of this kind the candidates from the counties blind-fold each other and draw siraws to see which shall con tinuc candidate.
 In any event it has been announc- cd by those who are particularly close io President Wilson that he has said that political activity and success will not be considered in sc lecting federal appointments unless the applicant is one which he may be selected clearly over-shadows all his political success. That being the case. it will eliminate a large mum Der of the candidates for offices Arizona Republican.

He held an autopsy on each animal. but he was reticcnt as to the cause of death, stating however, that livestock growers of this locality need have no fears that an epidemic is prevailing, neither is it evident that the animals were stricken with the disease that afflicted the horses of Nebraska and Kansas during Sep tember and October.

MOUNTAIN LIONS

(From Sundays Daily.)

 John A.. Anderson, famed in the Rocky Mountain country as a pro- fcssional lion hunter, writes to Joe Drew of this city that he is en route to the Wild Horse Basin country to hunt for mountain lions during the winter. He is not seeking the game on bounty lines. He asks for infor- nation from Mir. Drew who also enjoys distinction in this line and un- til recently was regarded as without n peer in hunting this character of game.
 Mir. Sanderson at present is hunt ing bear, lion, and other big game in the Mogollon range, but reports a scarcity of these animals. He will be directed 10 the Bloody Basin sec ton in the eastern part of the county after his expedition in the west is over. The advent of Sanderson in both fields will be welcomed by rangemen, who have lost heavily in calves and colts for several years. Mountain lions are said to be num- erous in the western part of the county in recent years and very few have been killed.

Although there arc yet four months of the present administration of national affairs, and even after that, a possible year and half be- fore much can be accomplished in the way of filling appointments to federal offices the number of can ddates for office seems to increase with every outgoing mail. The pres cnt most prolific crop seems to be headed toward the United States dis trie, judgeship for the but recently created district of Arizona. And all of this is based upon the assumption that congress will refuse to confirm any recess appointments made by President Taft or any recommended appointments during the present short session.
 One of the latest names that has been suggested for this office is that of Mir. Justice II. D. Ross of the Arizona Supreme court whose many friends are advocating his candidacy with no less enthusiasm than is evident by the friends of Chief Justice Franklin. There are also those who fearful that all mem bcrs of the Arizona Supreme court shall not be mentioned for this re- sponsiblc and honorable position. in sist that Mir. Justice Cunningham must also be considered.
 These gentlemen together with the Honorable Thomas A. Flynn of Flagstaff, w. II. Sawtell of Tucson; w. l.. Lowell of Tucson, Judge A. C. Baker. of Phoenix and George IT.. Stoncman, also of Phoenix have been prominently mentioned, but they do not by any means, complete the list.

MIR. TAFT'S MESSAGE.

Mir Taft in his message to Con gross struck a new note m American state papers. The entire document IS devoted to a discussion of our re- lations with foreign governments. Domestic affairs are discussed only as they are involved and included in d consideration of our relations with other countries Such large sub jects of internal polity as waterway improvement, interstate commerce. the existence of combinations in re straint of trade and commerce, irri- gation, conservation. the development of Alaskan resources and govern ment work on the Panama Canal. and of our colonial policy in the Philippines and in Porto Rico, are left untouched, along with many oth- CT questions usually figuring, under long established precedent in such communications. It is understood to he the presidents purpose to deal with these internal affairs in sup plcmcntal paper Otherwise his de- parturc from precedent and conven ton nigh, be a delicate bit of irony expressing his conviction that all of these questions were SO thoroughly threshed out during years of vociier- ous discussion eliminating at the end of the late campaign as to have left nothing but chah on the threshing floor. Or, with an opposition party about to take charge of government it may have been his intention to set out in the most striking way possible the broader features of the policy which the country has just re- versed.
 This is done. in the message, ;n q skilliul and convincing way. Begin ming with a statement oi his develop- mcnt of the merit system df appoint ment and promotion in the diplo- matic service. and its extension in the consular service. and the entire reorganization of the State Depart ment on lines of greater efficiency, the president passes on to our ever expanding trade balances. which, he says, can be directly traced to this increasing efficiency operating under The maximum and minimum clauses of the Payne Aldrich artif law. How great have been the results of this diplomacy" he says. Coupled with the maximum and minimum pro vision of the tariff, will be seen by some consideration of the wonderful increase in the export trade of the United States" Official figures are quoted showing this growth. and are followed by the wise conclusion that "this policy is one that appeals alike to idealistic humanitarian sentiment. to the dictates of sound policy and strategy, and to legitimate commer- cial aims, lt is an effort frankly di- focted to the increase of American trade. upon the automatic principle that the Government of the United States shall extend all proper support to every legitimate and beneficial American enterprise"
 This sound doctrine has already been challenged. and, for the moment successfully, through unfortunate di- vision among the majority of Amcri- cans who believe in it. There can he no challenge of Mir Tafi's clear state mcnt of the record of his adE,nis- tra,ion in Mexico. where q most try ing and irritating situation for test ing his diplomacy has existed for nearly two years; in China, where skill and rcsourcefulness have been
