What He Remembered

When a prospective voter in one of Chicago'5 election districts was asked the date of his naturalization he re- piled that he had taken out h.s pa peIs so long before that he could not remember just when he had become an American.
 The officer to whom this statement was made was extremely thoughtful for a moment. Then he added:
 "Can you remember who was the Republican candidate for president that year?
 Sure, I don't remember who was running for prisidint,' was the re- sponse, but it was the same year that Stufy McGinnis was appointed Dog Drownder."

REPUBLICANS OF ARIZONA.

Now, that it is definitely settled that Col. Roose selt will be a candidate for the republican nomination for the presidency. the sght among the republicans of Arizona may be con sidered to be on. The end of a con. test of this kind is generally involved in doubt. but in this case it appears safe 10 predict that Roosevelt delu gation from Arizona will be easily chosen.
 A central organization which has become very effective and busy one was formed at Phoenix month ago It IS composed of leading republicans. some of whom gre warm personal friends and admirers of the colono and of some whom have never been crazy about Taft"
 There does not seem to be material for even a good nucleus for Taft organization within the state There are not enough federal officers 10 form one The administration. this year, will miss the territorial admin istration. all of whose members down to the most loyly appendage have al ways been enthusiastic workers for such delegates ss the federal admin istratlon has demanded But four years ago. with even this powerful leverage it vas impossible to deliver such delegation. How much more impossible will it be this year when the administration organization is practically extinct?
 A large section of the republican Tarty of the state is strongly inclined 10 prorressivism, so that if Col. Roose velt had not entered the field it is doubtful whether even La Toilette, lacking the great personal popularity of the colonel. could not have securel 2 delegation.
 There is among the Arizona Iepubl:- cans, not only a strong inclination to NIT. Roosevelt but there is feeling Of positive hostility toward MT. Taft on account Of his course with respect 10 the constitution Many who may not have favored the judicial recall or who were apathetic concerning it re sented what they considered an ar bitrary exercise of the power con ferred on the president by the en ablins act, though it was made plain by the friends of the president that he was performing an official duty as he saw it, without a purpose to de feat statehood and without a hope o' permanently preventing the adoption of the recall of the judiciary provis ion to which, however. he could no' eonscientiousIy seem to assent

AUSTRIA AND sERVIA.

The issues of peace or war in Eu-
rope. apart from the present conflict,
are In the hands of Austria and Servia.
That has seemed probable from the be-
ginning. Now it is unmistakable. Ser
via wants some Of the fruits OF her
labors, sacrifices and victories In the
form of a territorial outlet to the Adri-
attic, which will give her the CONNER
cial independence which is essential to
her welfare, and she seeks 1t on land
which formerly belonged TO her and
which she has now reconquered. Aus
tria declares that she shall not have 1t,
and prepares to employ her vastly SUI
perlor military power to prevent her
from getting it, or to compel her to
relinquish it If she precipitately seizes
It. The question Is what the other
powers will do. Germany and Italy are
understood to support their partner In
the Triple Alliance. Russia, presuma-
bly, with the cooperation Of France
and Great Britain, her partners in the
Triple Entente, sympathizes with Ser
via and will give her moral and diplo-
matte support, but will not go to war
in her behalf. OF course, Servia's
partners in the Balkan League SYM
pathize with her, but 1t Is not certain
that they would undertake to fight
Austria-H Hungary, or that they could
win against her If they should.
There need be little wonder as to
Austria's motives. 1t Is not that COM
mercial relations with Servia are Of
paramount Importance to her, or that
Austria is inspired with unselfish de-
sires to see Albania kept intact and
made autonomous. Rather is 1t that
she wants to repress, dwarf and cripple
Servia, lest the development Of that
kingdom into greater and really In

WORSE THAN BARBARIANs.

II is hard to believe in the existence
of shopkeepers--especially women shop
keepers-so depraved as to distribute
obscene pictures to tiny children as
prizes for penny purchases of candy
Yet from the magistrates court In
BROOKLYN comes the report OF the ar
raignment of several men and women
who keep candy shops in the nelghbor-
hood of public schools, largely support
ed by the patronage of the children, on
the charge Of giving away such pict-
ures habitually as an inducement to
trade.
Those who have been investigating
this evil, and were instrumental In
causing the first arrests, say that the
corrupting traffic is widespread and
that they have made only beginning
in their work against it. They deserve
all possible encouragement in their eff
forts. and especially the vigorous sup
port Of the magistrates. The conditions
under which children grow up In the
crowded sections Of great city are
unwholesome enough at best. That any
man, most s0f all any woman, should
deliberately corrupt them just to make
a few filthy pennies is a sad commen-
tary on the human nature that can exist
in a civilized community. Barbarians
would not do that.

COLD LOGIC.

Not few cave jewellers Of New York,
inhabiting what are known technically
as apartments, with heat" have cause
TO bless the names Of Justices Page,
Lehman and Hotchkiss. By the same
token, there are landlords and land
lords agents who will cherish a poor
opinion Of their wisdom, for these emil
nent jurists, sitting in the Appellate
Term, Supreme Court, have decreed
that a tenant is justified In refusing to
pay rent and moving If the apartment,
with heat" resolves itself into an ap-
Proclamation TO one Of those fcy-white
landscapes with orange and violet
trimmings of which Or. Cook wrote so
feelingly. Their opinion was reversal
Of the decision Of the Municipal Court,
which ruled that the plaintiff, the land
lord, was entitled TO recover rent from
the tenant who couldn't stand the Arc
tic rigors Of the apartment In question.
It is law which squares with com.
mon sense, this decision, as law inter-
preted by the courts sometimes does
not. The apartment, with heat" is
rented at a higher price than the one
in which the tenant is supposed to fur
nish his own heat. Moreover, there Is
usually no way in which the tenant OF
such an establishment can overcome
the landlords default, for any one Of
the heating devices which would usual
ly be his sole recourse in the modern
fat is expensive and inadequate at best.
It is well that the Appellate Terms
decision has obtained publicity at the
beginning OF winter, along with the
announcement of rise in the price Of
coal. There will be no attempt by ten
ants to have that decision recalled.

MORE NOBEL PRIZES.

A Swiss engineer employed in Swe-
den wins this years Nobel prize In
physics, and the award will presuma-
bly, be credited to Switzerland. Citi-
zens Of that country have hitherto won
prizes in medicine and peace. The
prizes in physics in past years have
been apportioned among half dozen
nations. Germany won three and a
half and Itdly n half, the prize in
1909 being divided between a German
and an Italian. Holland won two, one
of which in 1902 was divided between
two men. France won two, one OF
which was divided among three per-
sons. Great Britain won two, and
America one-awarded In 1907 to Pro-
fessor Michaelson, of the University
of Chicago.
The chemistry prize is divided this
year for the first time, between two
Frenchmen. Hitherto It has gone once
to Hollander, five times to Germans,
once to a Swede, twice to Britons and
twice to French chemists. The names
of the three prize winners In these
two classes this year are not perhaps
as well known to Americans as some
which have In former years adorned
the list, but they are sufficiently
familiar to the scientific world to give

THE COAL SHORTAGE.

Coal is being mined in about the
usual quantity. There is a slight snort
age OF cars for the shipment of 1t to
market, but still a good supply Is
constantly arriving. The favorable
weather is keeping consumption down.
The Shortage" therefore, of which so
much is heard Is not in the supply 10
meet the current needs. There Is
shortage in the accumulated stock, not
in the production Of coal. This Is
very different situation from that dur
ing the great coal strike of a few
years ago, when production had ceased
and there was real famine. Ihere
will be no famine this time, II the pup
lie is content to buy coal in moderate
quantities as It is required. II every
body attempts to lay in winters sup
NV now there won't be enough to 60
around and a real scarcity will be felt'
Ordinarily the public does not have
to depend to the extent that II mas
to this year on the current production
of the mines for its supply OF coal
There is usually reserve STOCK at
hand. When the consumers lay In
winters supply all at once they merely
divide up into little heaps In their
cellars the big heaps that exist at the
mines and the various places for the
storage Of coal. That big reserve
stock doesn't exist this year, and the
public ought not to insist upon re-
serve stock In It's individual cellars,
but be satisfied to obtain Its coal as
the supply is produced, in quantities
sufficient to satisfy current needs. ii
every one would put in coal only as
he needed II no one would suffer from
the shortage and there would be no
famine" and no famine prices. Ana
every one might feel sure that when
his small stock ran out 1t would DC
possible to replenish 1t. Coal Is nelhg
constantly mined and brought to the
city. There is no danger OF a serious
labor disturbance to curtail production.
That is guarded against by the agree
ment between miners and operators
which was reached at the end OF
last springs strike. Such shortage OF
cars as exists results from the lmper-
feet machinery for getting cars back

passed over to other railroad INES
This subject is receiving the Afternoon
of the railroads and of the puDilc
regulative authorities and 1t Is likely
that there will be an Improvement.
The situation calls for the exercise
of common sense and self-restraint' II
the public will recognize that comb,
tons this year are different from what
they usually are and adjust It's prac,
tees to the difference no one VIII

nothing TO be alarmed about.
