How the Parties Stand

The test is not yet complete. The measures of three parties who are seeking popular favor have been taken, the progressive party as rep resented by Col. Roosevelt, the re- publican party in the persons of Messrs Harland and Bede and the Ringing party, in the person of the Barnum & Bailey show. The Ring ling party is far in the lead, the progressives a far distant second and the republicans bringing up an inglorious rear.
 The test has not yet been applied to the democratic party which we understand is to be represented by Champ Clark who will be here with in fair week. But there will be some difficulty in applying the test. No doubt the democrats who are in herently and traditionally unfair will insist on crediting the entire crowd to democracy. We can not allow that. The only just way to sift out democracys share will be to make a list of all the attractions, includ- ing the race horses, the various ex- hibits, all the attractions, the diving horses, the diving dogs, the balloons the midway, the bearded lady and Mir Clark. We will then total the list and dividing the number in at tendance by the sum thus obtained we will find the quotient to be dem ocracy's just and true share of pop ular favor.

GREAT RABBIT
 PEST

There are still many millions of rabbits in Australia doing incalcula- b1e harm, and the least cessation of hostilities against them results in ra- pid multiplication of numbers It is well that stock owners are more gen. orally realizing how mOny more sheep their properties will carry if free from rabbits, and the erection of net ting fences is becoming much more general On freehold properties, un- questiOnably the best method of rid ding the country of the pest is to wire net and then dig out all the burrows and destroy surface cover. On very large properties and lease holds the rabbit pest is still serious problem. and the government assists by providing netting at a moderate price on very easy terms. In hot countries where there is not much surface water the cheapest and most efficient plan is undoubtedly to poi son water which can be reached by rabbits and not by stock.
 The rabbit pest in New South Wales is spreading, notwithstanding all that is being done in the shape of trapping, poisoning, fumigating and digging out The greed of the rabbit is pToverbial, and the amount of herb age deVoured by this animal IS con sidera ble. The commercial loss suS- tained is consequently an immense

A Revision of Opinion

Henry Cox another murderer and long term convict has left an honor gang at a convict road camp and unless he has yet been captured is still travelling the wales and wolds"
 We are almost ready to revise our notions of prison reform" and acknowledge that we have been in error as to at least one phase of the system.
 We have now recalled the case of John Conchin who departed this convict life from road camp near Globe a few months ago. In cOnse- quence, there was ungrounded alarm in the vicinity where MT. Conchin was last known to be. The Repub- lica sought to reduce the alarm by giving assurance that MT. Conchin had probably and swiftly betaken himself elsewhere. That appears to have been the case. MT. Conchin is reported to have found refuge in one of the northwestern states. At any rate neither hide nor hair of him has been seen in Arizona.
 Now if the efforts of the prison authorities to reclaim MT. Henry Cox come to naught we will be bothered by him no more
 So we favor the "honor" system. It is pregnant with possibilities. What is it to us if our scattering murderers cut the throats of the peo- pie of distant states. If they wish to enjoy immunity from our "hOnor" men who have ventured abroad let them come to Arizona. The honor men will not return and if they do We will put them into the insane asylum where they would seem to belong.
 We. need. immigrants. We. are reaching out for them. Perhaps those who remain impregnable against our attractive literature may be scared into Arizona So all honor to the honor system which at first when in error, we thought was a symptom of mandlin sentimentality. We have been shown. It has material ad- vantages and cannot fail to result in the upbuilding of this new and glor- ious state.
 But we still entertain our old ob- jectiOn to the pardon and parole ot assassins. That is merely turning them loose to ply their vocation among our own people of which there are already too few.

porarily left without support. This movement will include an attempt by the authorities to collect such sums as may be due the convict, debts which the debtor is apt to re- gard as discharged when the creditor becomes a convict. Also, such prop erty rights as the convict may have had are to be looked after.
 This movement is not only sen sible one but is a humane one. The convict's family, if he has one, is generally left worse than helpless It bears the burden of disgrace and a great share of the punishment inn posed upon the head of the family falls upon his wife and children The innocent are inevitably punished with the guilty

FINANCES AND MARKETS
ASSOCIATED PRESS n1sPArcHl


 NEW YORK, Sept. 23-New high records for the year were established when United States Steel and Amalga- mated Copper touched high marks with other issues of lesser importance Trade was again heavy, but the rise was several times checked by profit taking, and further bear opposition. The bear elements, from all accounts have been largely eliminated, however, and no small part of tOdays advance is to be reasonably attributed to out side origin or an investment demand. Gold engagements and the rise of pric- es of pig iron were the news of the day which influenced tradig Reports stated that freight movements the next few weeks would be measured only by the number of cars to be had to handle the shipments, while some complaints were heard from merchants and ship pers that the railroads are favoring cereal shipments.
 The best prices of the day were scored during the last hour. The Amalgamated rise came as an accom- paniment to the report from Boston copper selling there at a fraction over eighteen cents a pound The money market was easier and demad for all kinds of loans was quiet. Bonds were broader and generally higher. The to- tai sales reached a par value of S2,46O, 600. Governments three declined one quarter; fours advanced one quarter and Panama threes rose one and one- eighth per cent.

Aviation Regulation

It seems to be time for civilized nations to undertake the regulation of aviation. We have no suggestion to make regarding it's regulation any more than we have for the regulation of other forms of suicide. Perhaps the best thing would be to prohibit eX hibition flights and thus the business of aviation would be confined to scientific experimentation and would eliminate those who are flying only for money or notOriety.
 While there are fewer people now than formerly who believe that avia tion will ever develop into a prac- tical means of transportation, still the world is not ready to drop the sub ject or to arrest any possible de- veIopment. But that must be left in the hands of men with brains and Of a scientific bent.
 The average aviator contributes nothing to the development. Nine out of ten of those who are travel
 ing about the country giving eXhi bition flights are not men or Ordin- ary intelligence. They have no other equipment than fool hardness and that is worse than none at all. All these men are doomed to premature death and when one of them falls to the earth a crushed and bleeding mass a result more often of his lack of brains, popular distrust in the aer- oplane is increased.
 The latest victim is the English aviator Astley who was killed last Saturday. Astley was an earnest student of the aeroplahe and if he had confined his attentions to ex- perimentation and improvement some good might have resulted. But he braved great and profitless perils. A | few days ago he flew across the Eng l fish channel with a woman com panion, a needless exploit. That had | been done long before. It had often been done and It had been thoroughly | demonstrated that that could be
 done barring accidents, so that. there was no use in proving it again. The work cut for Astley and all true avi- ators was to seek to minimize the | chances of accidents.
 While most of the fatalities among aviators have occurred among the un-
 skilled and those who promised tC contribute nothing toward the de velopment of the science of flying
 many who were really useful hav'
 been sacrificed, but generally in ex-
 hibition flying. There have beer
 some fatalities in the course of care full scientific experimentation. In sucl
 cases it has been demonstrated hoy
 great are the difficulties to be over
 come before the aeroplane can b.
 made to be of practical use.

The exported rabbit skins from New South Wales during 1911 was 5,71SS39 pounds, as against 5,650,00O pounds the previous year and 3,135.O00 pounds in 1909. The total exports of rabbit and hare skins from the commonwealth during 1911 was 1O,3SS,716 pounds, or little more than 5O0,OO0 pounds more than the previous year.
 Pastoralists and farmers are chary about the frozen rabbit industry, as it is not in the interests of the trappers to wipe out the rodents.
 Observant and experienced men compute that eight to ten rabbits eat or destroy as much grass as enc sheep. As there are so many millions of rab- bits in Australasia, the loss in the car rying capacity of the country is ap- palling.
 On account of the dry autumn the fly pest has not been so troublesome as during the past few years, but they are still bad among the heavily wooded merino sheep, and the great number of dead carcasses in the country will very likely result in their being worse than ever next year. Few people yet realize the gravity of this compara- lively new pest, and what it is going to cost Australia, and it is to be re- gretted that some general plan of ac- tion is not being devised for the pur- pose of keeping the pest in check Some stock owners have been success full in poisoning the flies by painting skins, dead carcases, etc, with arsenic and such a course has proved wei worth the expense.

WARNED
 CHEF LAWRENCE
Last Story of Los Angeles Newspaper Man Reflects Premonition of His End i'll Wreck of Horace Kcar- ney's Aeroplanc

Did Chet Lawrence see death in the clouds that hid the sky, the night before the start of the fatal flight l. certainly seems so, for his pre- monition is reflected in the last story hc wrote for his paper, before he climbed into the big waterbird anG prepared for the journey In all the perilous trips he has made, auto tours through the savage Wildernesses of the west, Lawrence never once refer red to the possibility of not return ing But in this last story there IS the mark of the fear. His words are tlnged with the spirit of uncertainty. The thought of his doom seemed to creep uninVited into the lines. and made the story so different from the ordinary happy go- lucky recital, that the change was noticeable even to the careless reader
 In the story of his flight, taken a few days previous to the start on the Los Angeles-S San Francisco run, Law renee is flighty and witty, but handles the grave theme with the same touch Of seriousness beneath the film of fun. But the last story is all ser iOus. It impreSSeS one with the grim idea that Chester knew he was fated.
 Here is an extract from the final writing of Chester Lawrence.
