NO NERVE AT ALL

give these people one dollars worth

be grieved if the people of this city

dry goods. and this is a similar case.

ment has received the printing of
nearly all the county books and rec
ords and other printing that could
not be handled by the local print
shops from all the counties for years
without competition, and at its own
price. 1t is not now satisfied with
this, but has started bidding on all
county work. Of course the boards
would not stand for the work that
could be handled at home to be sent
off, and the bids were accordingly
let to the lowest home bidder.
Now this same establishment
sends a representative into the diff
ferent counties and attempts to get
this same printing by inducing the
officers to order few less sheets
than the minimum number specified
in the local contract. For instance,
if the minimum on certain blank
is one hundred, he asks the county
to order seventy-five ur ninety-five
from him, or if the minimum is
1000 to order from him few less.
What do you think Of that for gall?
If this thing keeps up the local
print shops will form a combination
and take all the books and records
that this shop has heretofore had
and, if necessary, send it out of the
state and have the work done.
Should this be done, it would prob
ably teach this Phoenix establish
ment the principles of honest de-
cency.

DO NOT WORRY ABOUT
GEORGE
= From New York World.

Don't worry about George w.
Perkins. True, he is spending a
deal Of money on the Bull Moose
campaign. But his harvester trust
is probably making the money faster
than George w. can spend it. The
trust gets it's labor for the lowest rate
it can and employs girls l6 years old
because it can get them cheaply.
1t works these girls at highly-speeded
machines for ten hours day and
again for ten hours a night, and
provides no stools on which they
can sit for moment, lest they
might get lazy. 1t works them in
huge rooms filled with flying lint,
at machinery with the fewest pos
sible safety devices, in mills on which
not a dollar has been wasted" in
providing comfort for the employe.
The profits of labor, so managed,
finance the campaign for that social
and industrial justice" which George
w. Perkins so greatly adores.
Don't worry about George. He's
playing safe. Even an option on a
federal administration that would
legalize such management of the
trust factories would be worth many
times what George is paying. Chi.

Damned by Eulsome Praise

 What he said was quoted in the papers, and it attracted so much at tention to the young lady that she was forced to give up her place to escape the crowds that sought to see the girl the richest man says is the most beautiful of all the women he has ever seen.
 While the fulsome praise of the young lady. if indulged in by most anybody else. would have been looked upon as innocent local gossip. coming as it did from the Laird of Sllibo. who is vainly trying to spend his income. the public at once sat up and took notice
 The uninvited publicity was humili- ating and offensive tO the young lady, and she was forced to relinquish her position with the firm with which she had long been identified because of an idle remark of a man who is con spicuous for his wealth
 What Mir. Carnegie said of the young lady of course was with no purpose or thought of doing her an injury. and may have been amply deserved As his views on any sub ject are always featured in the papers and made much of by the public. this young lady must suffer unjustly, not because she possesses unusual personal charms. but merely because Andrew Carnegie says she does

The Expsndinq Skirt

Cotton manufacturers became very enthusiastic at a recent meeting in Washington when it was announced that the average woman who adopted the tube skirt effect and deducted eX- actly twelve yards Of goods from the amount necessary to make her an old fashioned outfit is soon to taboo the hobble.
 Besides shrinking her dress skirt to corn-p plaster dimensions she also linn ited the number and size of other garments with disastrous effect on the finished goods market
 If hoop skirts make their predicted descent upon an unsuspecting world. however. the cloth manufacturer will more than have his inning and milady of fashion will assume the proportions of a dirigible balloon.

Ii the newspaper correspondents at Washington tell the truth-and the fact that they are in the habit of telling the truth is what makes them obnoxious 10 certain class of citi- zens-almost the first act of Senator Marcus Aurelius smith. after his ar rival in the capital was to assault the negro operator of a hotel elevator. knock him down. and thereby endan- ger his own life and the lives Of two ether passengers by causing the ele- Iator 10 run wild"
 That was going some even for the more or less distinguished Marcus Aurelius. It is calculated to give the people at large an excellent impress sion of Arizona and of the class of men the people of Arizona desire as their senatorial representatives. It is also one Of the finest modern ex- amples Of what Kentucky gentle man of the old school can do under sufficient prOvocation or when his dig
 nifty has been affronted. In this case the dignity of the gentleman from Arizona had been affronted because the elevator man failed to do just what Smith thought he ought to do. AS it happens the negro was in the right and Smith was in the wrong hJt what has that got to do with it? The dignity of Arizona and of the United States senate had to be up- held and Marcus was there to do the upholdmg.
 As already intimated the state of Arizona should be proud of Marcus Aurelius Smith. The progressivism, of which We have heard much re- gently. should be proud of him. The Arizona legislature, that entrusted the protest against Governor Sloan to his manly hands, should be proud of him. And when Marcus Aurelius appears before the senate judiciary commit tee to present that protest, that com mittee should be especially proud to listen to the chivalric Mir. Smith and take cogniZance of the fact that a man who wantonly assaulted an un- offending negro is trying to prescribe the proper course in maintaining our federal judiciary system.
 And of course Marcus Aurelius should succeed in his efforts to keep Governor Sloan from being confirmed by the senate. Sloan isn't a fit man 10 be a federal judge. He is not a Kentucky gentleman of the old school" There is no record that he ever assaulted one single negro with or without provOcation. He never promised to fight the confirmation of any man in return for political sup port He never bowed at the altar of insurgency Knowing himself to be a conservative. He has been content to be the kind of gentleman who minds his own business. respects the rights of others. nNeS within the nm its of conscious rectitude, and never plays to the galleries. What right has man like that to aspire to the federal bench. anyway?
 If Governor Sloan had been con- tent to be less honest and more bois- terous, if he had pretended a political faith he did not feel; if he had played the Smith brand of politics; if he had stultified himself and his own con- science: and if. occasionally, he had made a point of assaulting a colored servant-if he had been careful to do all these things at the proper time and with the proper setting, prob
