 The reviews for the final exam nations will begin before long. Most of the children will be ready for them. yet few will have to put forth an extra effort in order to pass into a higher grade. A failure means that the pupil will be re- quired to take the full years work over.
 Many of the school children are getting anxious to see the new school house start and of course will be close spectators while the building is going up.

NEWSY NOTES FROM
 THE STATE CAPITAL
Special Correspondence.l


 The legislature was handicapped last week to some extent from the fact that they were to operate under a new constitution and formulate an entire new set of rules, but when it did get started it made record for turning out business in hurry.
 Quite a large number of bills were introduced, seemingly all i1 line with the governors message and conforming to the peoples wish. and in accordance with cam paign pledges made before election. Anyone who has any knowledge of politics, law, and human nature can See, even at cursory glance. at the character of the bills pre- sented, that this is the peoples law making body and that the influence of the special interests" 90 mani fest in many of the legislative bod ies of the country. has lost it's hold in Arizona, and we predict that when the session closes that we can boast of some of. the most model, up-to- date and progressive laws un der the American flag. Tourists coming from all parts of the United States seem to be very much inter- ! ested in what our law makers are doing, and all seem to be unani nous in the assertion that the eyes of the whole United States are now centered upon Arizona, and doubt less many of our progressive ideas will be incorporated into the laws 1 of other states in the near future. The Arizona legislature estaN- lished a record in the election of | U. s. senators, having completed the task three minutes quicker than has ever been done before in the | United States. Oregon at one time completed the job in twenty min utes, but Arizona did the work in severteen minutes, and thereby took the ribbon" from Oregon. A great number of people from all over the state came to Phoenix tn | witness the election Gf Smith and Ashuret to the nations highest law making hody.
 A warm time is expected on some measures that are to come up. The question of woman suffrage seems to be developing the most bitter fight. and quite number of the fair ones are here to demonstrate their ability for political privilege by showing their skill as lobbyists tn trying to put the measure through.
 The prohibition question, if it comes up, will probably be one of the warm4st contests of the session,
 but it is doubtful if that ques'iHn comes up at the present time. Few laws have been passed thus
 far. but they have begun to come
 from the committees now and in the next few days they will come
 in wholesale lots.

Effect Of College Athletics.

The recent arrangement OF the
strenuous training for athletics Al
the Annapolis Naval academy by
surgeon-General Stokes OF the navy
might we'll serve to direct inquiry
into the training at other institu-
lions. He says the coaches at the
Naval academy put their men
through entirely too severe courses
OF preparation and that this un-
natural development. instead OF Civ
ing strength and endurance In later
years. often leads to organic weak
nesses. uniting the men for effee-
tive service in the navy or other
spheres OF life.
His observations arc entitled TO
the most serious respect. IL this is
true of the Annapolis coaches. Is II
also true OF coaches at other colleges
and universities? College athletics
are not to be done away with. DR..
Stokes does not favor that. But so
excellent an agency for the develop
ment and diseiplining Of Young man
hood should not be debased into a
means OF positive injury. Better let
up on the system of training little
and even lose q contest or two. II

and overexert the physical powers
while they are yet in the formative
stage.
The champion OF wrestlers once
said that no man was as great after

trained up TO the limit for Il. He
might be a great wrestler after that,
but not as great as he was before.
However that may be. it has an ele-
ment Of mighty sound sense in 1t.
which serves TO point the danger Of
young men entertaining. What coll
lege athletics are really for is to help
make young men efficient In after
life. not 50 much to pound them into
machines for the winning OF fierce
physical contests during their college
days. Victory Of that sort is we'll,
but an evenly trained body, helped

Il is the meanest kind OF discrimina-
ton and is prompted BY no higher
motive or consideration than the
theater mans greed for more money
than his legitimate ticket sales at the
box Office window bring him. and this
greed leads him TO get this extra
price by surreptitious methods, since
he cannot do it openly.
This Chicago manager says the
Illinois supreme court is on record
as unfolding this form OF discrimina-
ton. That statement at least lends
a comical aspect TO an otherwise irri-
tating situation. 1t would be inter-
esting to hear from the court upon
the subject.
