THE ROCKING STONE OF TANDIl

Everyone has heard of rocking StoneS-maSSeS of rock so delicateIS poised as to move backward and for ward upon the slightest impulse There are many such stones scatter ed throughout the world, but the majority of them are mere marbles compared with the famous rocking stone of Tandil, in South America This giant among rocking stones weighs no less than 700 tons, and is situated in a low range of hills some 250 miles south of the city of Bueros Ayers. It is composed ot granite and contains 130 cubic meters. It is in the shape of par aboloid four meters high and five meters in diameter at the base. The stone rocks upon a knob of rock be- meath, which fits closely into d Socket-like hollow in the great bowl der itself The action of the elements through countless centuries has sue ceeded in wearing away the sOftes; parts of the stone, leaving behind only the harder gritted core. The stone is so delicately poised thai it can be made to crack a walnut without crushing the kernel,-Widt World

The Advisory Committee

Too many cooks spoil the broth" So, from too many advisers is likely to result confusion of purpose. We are moved to this quotation and this observation by the announcement yes terday of the creation and personnel of the new advisory committee of the democratic national committee, in cluding our own Mark Smith and Henry Ashurst From the fact that they have been named as well as one of the senators from Nevada and an- other who hopes to be one, we as sume that all the democratic mem bers of the senate as well as demo- cratic candidates for the senate have been made members of the advisory committee.
 It embraces also, all the defeated and disappointed candidates for the democratic nomination for president so that it may be that it is more oi a consolation committee. that is, 3 booby prize for the gentlemen who failed at Baltimore.

 Enjoying a seat in a delegation and occupying a position of leadership, every move he made was in the di- rection of deadlock among the avowed candidates with the ultimate object of securing the nomination him. self.
 We do not suppose that all the members of this vast committee will ever be assembled under one canvass during the life of the committee but if there should ever be such congrega- = tion we should expect to see a sad lack of harmony. For instance, we should like to hear an exchange of views between MT Bryan and MT. Underwood on a tariff program, or more interesting still, would be their personal estimates of each other. Also, it would add to the gayety of the committees sessions if Speaker Clark and MT Bryan should become reminiscent and discourse upon events at Baltimore.

MARVELLOUS DEVELOPMENT OF
 AUTO INDUSTRY.

Thirty million dollars worth of American automobiles found markets abroad last year, against less than ures just completed by the division of statistics of the bureau of foreign and domestic commerce show that the ex- ports of automobiles to foreign coun- tries in the fiscal year 1912 were val ued at S21,50O,000, and of parts there of, including tires, $6,7500 900. If to this were added the shipments to Hawaii and Porto Rico, we get for the years sales of American automobiles out side of continental United States, a round $3O,O0O0O0 since the value of automobiles and parts thereof sent to Porto Rico was nearly $1,000 900, and to the Hawaiian islands little over s1 .00O. 900. The total number of ma chimes exported to foreign countries was 21.757, valued at 21,550 139 aver aging slightly less than 5000 each; while those to the non contiguous ter ritory were higher averaging $l600 each
 The export price of American auto mobiles in 1912 averaged less than in any earlier year in the history of the export trade. The average for 1912, dividing the total number of machines exported into stated value, was $990 each. against $1100 in 1911, $1380 in 1910, $17OO in 1909 and $1SSO in 1908. On the import side the automobiles | imported last year amounted to but about $2,000, 900 in value against more l than RI 900 900 in 1907. The average | import value of the automobiles
Arizona republican., 1912-09-09

brought into the country last year was $2216 each, against $213S in 1911, $19S6 in 1910, $19SS in 1909 and $2392 in 1908. Thus the export price of American ma chimes has fallen from $500 in 1908, to $99O in 1912, whl5e the import price of foreign automobiles entering the cOun- try has only fallen from $2392 in 1908 to $2216 in 1912, the reduction in price on the export side being 47 per cent, and on the import side but 8 per cent.
 Even the remarkable growth in the exports of American automobiles noted above has not kept pace with the growth in production at home since the census of 1900 showed the value of automobiles manufactured in the United States in 1899 at $4,1S4,0OO, while that of 1910 showed $249,202'OO0 as the value manufactured in 1909. The wages paid in the automobile industry, as shown by the census report, aggre- gated $1,521 900 in 1899, and $4S,694'ooo in 1909 the capital employed Tn the industry in 1899. $5,769,000, and in l9O9' s173S37, 900; and the number of wage earners employed, in 1899, 2241. and in 1909, 75,721.
 English-speaking people are the chief purchasers of American automo- piles. Of the 21,757 exported Tn l9lz, 6288 went to Canada, 5716 to the United Kingdom, and 3625 to Australia and New Zealand; the next largest number 1911, being credited to South Amerlca' while European countries other than the United Kingdom took 2296.
 Of the 963 automobiles imported lnUo the country in the fiscal year l9lz' fol were from France, 18S from the Unlted Kingdom, 131 from Italy, 116 from Ger many. and 127 from all other countries.

Idle Capital

Communities are very much alike. They are each composed of many kinds of people whose counterparts may be found in all the others What difference there is between any two communities is in the varying propor- tions of the ingredients which make them up. But there is the possessor of idle capital in greater or less num- bers in all of them and of him the Florida Index says:
 In every community can be found a number of men who have gained affluence but who are not willing to do anything for the community which
 has supported and given them the opportunity to amass their wealth. They are content to live what might
 be termed a perfectly harmless life and do as little as possible outside of | their regular business duties
 They take no interest in town af- | fairs except to criticizs those who are active, and find fault with the exist ing order of things. They never at tend a public meeting or add their in- IluenCe 10 d worthy cause promoted l by their neighbors and friends. The, l do not join commercial bodies or civic clubs and they are always hard to | find when a subscription list is being | circulated They are ready and will | ing to diagnose eve civic ailment | by giving their Opinioi. szrf that is all 1 that they give They resent the ac- 1 tivity of the aggressive newcomer and 1 they view with alarm an honest en- | deavor to aid in the growth and pros
 perity of the town. They are stock 1 holders in the community but their
 stock must be listed as idle capital l They take from the community but | they do not give in return. They cast no bread upon the water therefore nothing returns to the community | from their efforts. They join with the common variety of knocker in holding back the community in which they live. They are taxpayers but they
 never tax themselves with the burden 1 of boosting their own town.
 The community needs their ability
 and assistance in promoting it's cause but they pursue the even tenor Ot Itheir way and let their home tOwr suffer and lag because of their inac-
 tivity. And the other fellow is l.
 ways to blame for the shortcomings
 of the town.

Intervention

The indications are that there will be intervention in Mexico. notwith- standing the deprecatory attitude of the president who takes the position that intervention must be the last resort.
 It is plain now that the Mexican government will not be able quickly to restore order Handicapped. as the rebels have been by their inability to procure ammunition and funds, it has taken the government months to make headway against them in the north and when at last it succeeded in breaking up their armies in the state of Chihuahua and scattered them. that meant only the beginning of a guerrilla warfare which would last for years. resulting in the complete des- truction of the extensive American in terests in all parts of Mexico.
 The trouble is not so much along the border The raiding of American ranches could be easily stopped. The Mexican federal forces no doubt could clear the entire northern zone from the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of California of rebels, but it could not conquer them nor could there be any guaranty that they would not again overrun the country, once the federal troops were withdrawn.
 While expending it's energies against the rebels in the north, the whole southern part of the republic has been left at the mercy of the Zapatistas and other bands who have advanced almost to the gates of the national capital. If the government were to turn upon Zapata to crush him the revolution in the north would be quickly reorganized Mexico must be pacified from without. The world looks to this country to accomplish it The United States is properly helc responsible for the safety of foreign CTS in Mexico.
 As the president has stated, inter vention will mean war and a long anC an expensive war, but delay will no make the period of the struggle any shorter nor will it make the war less expensive We will be opposed there not only by the various rebel factions but by the government as well. In tervention will mean to Mexico, na- tional humiliation which must fine expression in desperate resistance.
 There will be opposition and trait DTS on this side of the line. Tn, policy of intervention will be attacked by democratic and progressive leader: who would see in a war with Mexico campaign material for President Taft That there will be such opposition was made manifest last spring in th' midst of the preconvention campaign when there was talk of intervention though it turned out that it had no been seriously considered by tn president It was viciously charged by the progressive papers that tn president was contemplating inter vention both for political effect an' also for the protection of the invest ments of the interests" We shal hear similar charges again in tn event that war is decided upon.

love for the woman, and yielding
to continual demands for money,
forgetting his own family to pour
out his purse for "the other
woman"
He met the woman at South
Bend" said Kelley, "she told him
she wanted to reform. He tried
to help her."
And here is what Calvin did,
according to the lawyer.
Paid up $175 to settle her debts
In South Bend.
Gave her fare to Centralia.
Gave her So to come to Tacoma,
when she spent the money visit
Ing Marysville, explaining that
her husband was at Centralia and
she was afraid to go there.
Got her a position at local
hospital and paid her board four
weeks in advance.
Paid hospital expenses for her
cousin"
Paid funeral expenses for her
cousin"
Paid round trip fare to Minne-
apolis and return, Nov, 1910.
Paid for three alleged opera
tions there.
Paid fare for round trip to
Minneapolis, Feb, 1911.
Paid for three more operations
there.
Paid hospital expenses Of an
other cousin"
Paid fare,,. Tacoma to Portland
and back.
Helped her run moving picture
show at Winlock for two months.

| Testimony came when Kelly began
to question Calvin himself about It
this morning.
Calvin then told the story of
the shooting.
"She drew gun" he said;
II started to take it away from
her, and It went Off"
Kelly said that the woman had
threatened Calvin If he deserted
her.
George p. Wall, WinIock, said
he had heard the couple quarrel
