Big Ships and skyscrapers

The disaster to the Titanic is not
without its lesson for people on
shore. Here was the biggest ship
ever built, and a ship supposed also
to be one Of the safest No cost had
been spared to make her as stanch as
she was luxurious. Every device
which the skill of marine architecture
could furnish was provided. Her
water-tight compartments were sup
posed to be able to keep her afloat
even after a severe collision. Her
longitudinal steel timbers were so
strong that some shipbuilders after
the event have surmised that they
may have been her undoing-increas-
ing the damage by refusing to give.
Save in life boats, deemed needless,
she was completely equipped for safe
| ty. and her passengers must have felt
as free from peril as in a New York
hotel.
This confidence in the big steel
ship is now seen to have been exces-
siye; is it not time to reconsider the
equally excessive confidence felt for
the safety of skyscrapers? Recently
New York had a disturbing demon
stration that the fireproof building is
as illusory as the unsuitable ship.
Both the big ship and the tall build
ing are of recent origin; there has
been little time yet to test these risks
But there is this distinction between
them: The big ship. despite such a
shocking catastrophe as this, may
really, as its advocates claim, be the
safer for its size. But no one can
say that the high building is the safer
for its height. All the testimonials
as to the good behavior Of skyscrap-
ers when older buildings have suffer

buildings, with a prediction of taller

life. no matter how stanch the con.
struction. The enormous concentra.
ton Of people at great height can
not fail to make escape more difficult
in an emergency. The high building
has not yet had it's test, and there
is the chance of a disaster quite as
dreadful as that of the Titanic. II
is well to consider whether limits tc
overweening ambition ought not to
be set before the disaster comes

Governor Mead has issued his pro-

the needs and value of forestry ana

he says: Our rugged mountain

marches ever on and on, and it is

CHARACTERISTICS OF
THE MEXICAN.

Thousands Of Mexieans are en-

on the railroads and many in some
OF the mining districts. On this ac-

the character of the Mexican as a
laborer is Of interest.

more than with some other classes.
When Mexicans are first received

Alberta Minagia, one of the dead

ously wounded. have for many years
held positions as peace officers in old
Graham and Greenlee counties and
they have ever been faithful in the
work of maintaining law and order
IN both Clifton and Mcrenei. Their
universal popularity will stimulate
the determination to run down their
slayers and visit upon them the just
punishment of the law. Tom Camp

been so long an officer, Eut he is
well known in the district.
The northern part of Graham

fined to an occasional cattle ranch,
has been favorite spot in the past

rough and affords opportunities for
hiding that viii make it hard to To-
cate these bandits, but we believe
that such an incident as the one
which resulted in the death of some
Of the best officers in Arizona win
arouse a determination for justice
that will insure the capture of the
outlaws and when the capture is et
fected the outlaw murderers will be
fortunate, indeed, if they do not get
the shortest method in dealing to
them the punishment they deserve.
The pleasing news comes from
Clifton that this murder has re-
suited in no sign Of racial feeling
in that district where there are
many Mexicans employed. Many OF
the prominent Mexican citizens have
joined in the chase. One of the dead
officers is a Mexican and belongs to
one Of the old pioneer Mexican fam
lilies in that part of the state.

CHILD LABOR LAW
roo STRENUOUS.

The legislature in the enaction of
the child labor law, in the main, a
wholesome measure to prevent the
overwork OF children. has put a
problem up to the morning newspa-
pers Of the state and their delivery
boys that is not easy of solution. The
law provides that no boy under six
teen years can engage in any kind
of work before seven O'Clock in the
morning. The average newspaper
carrier or delivery boy is under that
age and as a result they may not
start with their papers in the morn.
ing until after the time when the
paper should be delivered at the
homes OF their subscribers.
The carrier boys on The Review
only work Cor an average of less
than one hour and half and are in
school during the day. We cannot
believe the members of the legiEIa-
ture had these newspaper carrier
boys in mind when they enacted the
child labor Law.
Yesterday a member of the legis-
lature complained of the late dehv-
cry Of The Review and wnen told
that the cause was in the child labor
law he seemed to be surprised.
In Bisbee when a boy passes the
age of sixteen he can find all kinds
of employment at better wages than
a newspaper could pay as an attrac-
ton for only one to two hours work
each day.

there should be an amendment to
relieve boys from its operation where
they only seek employment in the
mornings or evenings to earn per-
haps badly needed money to help
out in their expenses during their
school work.
The Review would suggest that
the section prohibiting the employ
ment OF any boy under sixteen years
Of age before seven O'Clock in the
morning be amended so that it
would not apply to boys whose en-
ployment shall not exceed two hours
in any one day. Such an amend
ment would no. permit the overwork
of the boys and would not disturb
the important intent Of the child la.
