some GOOD IDEAS
IN PORCH FURNISHINGS

are most fitting for porch furniture.
Like the fiber rugs, they, too, breathe
the spirit of out-of-doors. Grass"
chairs, tables, settees, stools and bas-
kets can be purchased to harmopize
with the grass floor covering in brown
and green. A practical table was noted
recently that seemed to have been de.
signed especially with porch necessi.
ties in mind. 1t had four legs, a
round top, and lower shelf built up
at the sides to form a basket. Incl.
dentally this basket provided con-
venient receptacle for sewing, read.
ing matter and odds and ends.
Willow Is always pleasing and in
good taste. Among other attractive
pieces of porch furniture in this mater
ial are chair with wide arm on
one side and deep pocket for maya.
zines or work on the other; an extern
sion lounging chair, with foot.rest; {;
a hooded sun.chair, hanging flower
basket, and most serviceable table,
whose capacity can be increased by
side shelves attached to the toy by
a chain arrangement.
There has been an evolution in ham.
mock making. resulting In the manu-.
facture Of that most satisfactory of all
porch furnishings-the bed hammock
A rope laced frame or bed.spring, with
tufted mattress, wind shield, and a
plentiful supply Of cushions. The com.
monest material used Is either white
or khaki canvas, and the standard size
is six feet long and 30 inches wide.
A good wall pocket, or, rather, a
collection Of pockets, tied or nailed to
some convenient support is something
that ought not to be forgotten in At.
ting out the porch. A manufactured
pocket, seen in metropolitan store
lately, was of khaki canvas, yard
long and nearly as wide. with two
large and eight small pockets.

SOUNDED THAT WAY

Miss Brown was giving an elaborate
description Of blacksmith, says The
Housekeeper, preparatory to teaching
Longfellow's poem to her pupils:
Nov. children, we are going to
learn a poem today about some one
who works very hard. He IL very large,
and has great arms that can lift such
heavy things! His face is blackened
with SCOT that comes from his great,
blazing apron, and he has fire that
glows, oh, SO red, and whenever he
makes anything he puts 1t into his fire
and then pounds It with a great big
hammer, which makes the loudest
changing noise and makes the sparks
fly about In every direction. Now.

The porch has come to play big

With this growing interest in life in
the open, comes the question of how
best to furnish the porch SO that It
will have "livable" look. Flimsy fur.
nishings are anything but wise in
vestment, for changes of weather,
dampness, sunlight and hard usage
generally must be taken into account
says a Pictorial Review writer.
First, there are floor coverings to be
considered. Rugs OF either hempen or
grass fiber are gionably the
best for this purpose. Their cheaD-
ness, good wearing qualities and the
fact that they are a natural product
combine to make them peculiarly ap-
propriate.
There ought, of course, to be some
protection against the sun, for most
porches that are at all sizable receive,
during some portion of the day, an ov-
ersupply OF It's strong rays. Awnings
are available, as well as the blinds Of
Venetian style. These are made Of
wooden Stats an inch and half or two
inches in width, which can be raised
by means OF roller top, to any height
desired. AS the Stats can be tipped at
any angle, the sun Is effectively exclud.

porch OF needed ventilation. These
blinds are made to order in any size

The Single Term

The sentiment in favor of single presidential term is spreading. Sena- tor Works has introduced a bill pro- viding for a single term and the In diana republican convention last week adopted a resolution in favor of a single term of six years.
 The only objection that might be of fered would be that six years might be too long a period: that within that time the people might desire a change of policies. In that respect four year term would be better. There is nothing, however, to be said in favor of two terms. If at the end of the presidents term the people are satis- fled with his policies and the manner or their execution they may elect another man committed to them
 Under our present system a presi- dent. though he might prefer to retire to private life. is practically compelled to seek a renominatiOn and a re-elec- tion as an endorsement of his admin istration. There is not the slightest doubt that President Taft would have preferred to avoid the present strug- gl and if he could have done so. the country would have been spared the furore through which it has passed already. to say nothing of that through which it must yet pass.

That Contract

The reclamation service will make in trying to force it's proposed con- tract upon the water-users under the Roosevelt project and to alter condi- tions which are the outgroWth of eX- perience and careful scientific study. We would here emphasize the differ ence between theory and science.
 If five and one-half acre feet of water has been found by experience and the observation of years to be no more than adequate for some of the lands of this valley the mere dictum of the reclamation service cannot make three acre feet adequate for all the lands of the valley. It is more than suspected that the service is directing the affairs of the water users upon fanciful theories rather than by that judgment born of long and successful experience.
 The farmers of the Salt River val ley after going through the tribula- tions of years, believed that they had emerged; they were getting on their feet and were filling themselves with hope of the future. They were getting the one thing they had struggled for, plenty of water. Now, comes the service and reduces the supply by more than one-third.
 We believe that no act of the ser vice has created so great dissatisfac- tion and has so shaken the confidence of the water users in the service as the proclamation of the contract, the only excuse for which is that more land may be brought under the pro- ject. There is a danger that the but ter will be spread to imperceeptible thinness.
 It is unlikely that the farmers will sign their rights away in the signing of the contract but it is likely that such a protest will be made as will make the contract intellectual.

Color and the Prize Rinq

Tom Sharkey has risen from the grave to announce his candidacy for the white" heavyweight champion ship, prize which we do not think would be worth fighting for It is too late now to draw the color line in prize fighting. There was a time when it could be done. John l.. Sulli- van did it for it was then easily pos sible. There were then no important negro contenders for the title of cham pion of the heavyweight class. John l.. simply would not fight negro. There were none he was afraid to meet and he could refuse a meeting without raising even a slight sus- picion that he was afraid
 Sullivan believed that a meeting with a negro in the squared circle would be a sort of recognition of sO- cial equality; that it would be debas- ing to that form of sport. Outsiders while they did not share his views, or perhaps. while they did not consider them at all, made no demand for 3
Arizona republican., 1912-08-15

meeting between him and a negro for at that time there was, as we have said, none who could make an inter- esting stand against Sullivan.
 But things are different now; a negro is the champion, and perhaps, the greatest prize fighting machine the world has ever seen. Two other negroes are superior to the best of the white heavyweights on the horizon. White hopes" for the present are hopelessly dead. If Sharkey should succeed in drawing his color line and should attain the white" champion ship, he would be after all not even a second rater but a fourth rater. The followers of the prize ring would never recognize the color line and they would never take a deep inter est in any fourth rater whatever might be his color.
 Sharkey's proposition is a confession of what we may call white hOpeless- ness" He may pretend that he aims solely at a social distinction but there can be no such thing in the prize ring. We may as well try to elevate white burglars and horse thieves above negro burglars and horse thieves. We be- Iieve that some such distinction is recognized in jails and penitentiaries all l. ly dark.

Shoe on the Other Foot

Other things besides curses and
 chickens come home to roost. The
 stupid course pursued by the health authorities of California and San
 Francisco. when they attempted to
 suppress news of the existence of the plague along the Pacific coast, has given Dr. Juan Guiteras, director of sanitation in Cuba, an excuse for call ing us a dangerous neighbor. The scolding which he administers is his reply to the project, proposed in con gress, to send a committee to Cuba to investigate sanitary conditions there. Instead of the United States being endangered by Cuba, he declares, Cuba is endangered by the United States. Our investigators, in his opinion, could find better causes for criticism in this country than in his own, and then he points to the policy adopted in the far west of concealing the existence
 of cases of the most dreaded diseases. There is enough truth in what he says to make Americans feel unCOm- | fortable. if not foolish. The policy of l secrecy adopted in California was a
 mistake. even though, fortunately, it did not have serious results. There was no general epidemic.
