Great Saving Of Time.

The mapager of one of the electric
light companies Of the western part
Of the country has greatly facilitated
the business of making the Ih>nthly
readings OF meters by having these
instruments placed on the rear
porches Of houses instead of in the
cellars. About ha.f of the meters Of
this company are now located in some
convenient and protected place in the
rear Of the house. where 1t Is always
accessible without regard to the pres
ence or absence of the inmates OF the
house. The result Is that the average
time formerly consumed by the In
spector has been cut about in half.

WHAT ARIZONA Old

Arizonas rebuke to rhe Bourbon
politicians was decisive. Briefly,
this is what happened in the first
state election of December:
The voters cleaned-up tthe local
crooks and elected throuhout the
state the best Of the candidates
from which they had to choose.
The progressive constitution Of
Arizona was placed in the hands
Of its friends for the first state
administration.
The very few progressive state
officials nominated by !he Republic
cans and supported by the pro-
gressive Republicans, including
Hoval A. Smith for United States
senator, ran ahead of heir ticket.
Delegate Cameron, who stood
with President Taft IN the effort
to eliminate from Arizonas con-
stitution the initiative, referendum
and recall prior to it's adoption by
the people last February, and who
subsequently worked hand in hand
with President Taft for the defeat
of the recall Of thu judiciary
principle, was Overwhelmingly
defeated in his efforts TO 60 to the
United States senate.
A progressive Republican leader
writes, at is now evident that had
the management of the Republican
party organization stood for pro-
gressivism last fall and for a
really democratic government,
espousing all the features Of gov
eminent designed to place the
power back in the hands Of the
people, this state could be won,
hands down. Neither political
party can control Arizona without
the aid Of the labor vote. A year

the PASSING OF THE MANCHUS

Much support is furnished to
those who have maintained from
the first that there is no place for
a Manchu dynasty in a constitu-
final government. From first to
last every concession wrung from
the throne has been cancelled or
its effect nullified. In 1910, after
many delays and much shuffling
of the cards, the senate, or upper
house Of the parliament, that was
not to be perfected until 1917,
assembled in Pekin. The con-
servatives, not to say the reaction
aries, expected great things from
this august body, which could in no
sense he regarded as representing
the people, Half Of it's members
were selected by the regent from
among that class of tried public
men who in England are summon
ed to the privy council. The other
half, it is true, were elected, but
not by popular vote. The
members we're the choice of pro-
vincial notables and of the business
gilds. They were, one and all, men
of property and of substance. To
gag the assembly in case of need
a Manchu prince was appointed to
preside over its deliberations. But
all these precautions were of no
avail. To the surprise and dismay
Of the court, this body from the
very moment it was called into
existence revealed itself as more
insistent upon radical reforms and
popular representation than even
the provincial 'iiets had been, and
it's members insistel upon sending
repeated petitions to the throne
asking that the more popular
branch Of the national assembly
be Immediately convened.
Reluctant concessions begat, as
usual, more extravagant demands,
the throne shuffied, and the open
break came at a moment when
most of the demands had been &C.
coded to. Today the revolution is
rampant in many provinces and all
powerful in not a few. Indeed,
its astonishing successes have been
greater outside than. within the
area of the military operations
now in progress. The practical
surrender of the throne, as con-
tanned in the pathetic edict Of
November LIST, may stay the hand
of the revolution and should
certainly strengthen the position
Of Yuan Shi-K'ai and of those who
are seeking a formula with which
to save the country from the i'm
pending anarchy.-North Ameri-
can Review.

He Didn't Pull the Peach

A lady had a fine young peach
,ree which bore fruit4ast year for
he first time-one solitary peach.
She was-very anxious to see just
What the fruit looks like when it
is ripe and since she feared that
Ter little son would discover it
,efore it should be ready to pull
she took him into the garden,
showed it to him and said, "Wil-
lie do not pick that peach because
| am very anxious to have it rip
m on tree" :" No4doubt he would
lot have known about the fruit if
lis mother had not called his at
ention to it. He said all right, :"
ully intending to leave it alone
bat his curiosity had been arous-
ed. One day he went into the
garden to look .at the peach. It
was so tempting that he could
not refrain from eating it. He had
promised his mother not to pull
It but since the tree was very
small he was able to reach it with
his mouth while standing on tip
toes. He ate the fruit from the
stone leaving the latter clinging
to the tree. In a few days his
mother saw what had been done
and Of course reproved him. She
said "Why son, didn't | tell you
not to pull the peach. Looking
up innocently into her face he
replied: But mamma | didn't
pull it."
