One Crop That Failed

T have never before seen so much on the ground-in sight in the Salt River valley" said one of the fore most residents of the valley yester- day. a man who has lived here for score of years: one who knows per haps more about agricultural condi- tions now and in the past than any other man now living here.
 He was speaking of the abundant crops. He added that never before had the farmers been offered such high prices for their alfalfa, their barley and their cattle, everything they had to sell. This era he said was worth waiting to see; was worth all the hardships and anxiety the farmers had endured from the beginning. In his opinion the hard ships and anxiety were all in the past and that roseate as the present 1 is. the future holds out still more "i

ARE WOMEN HUMAN BEINGS

The women of our age in most countries of the same degree of de velopment are outgroWing the art- ficial restrictions so long placed upon them. and following natural lines of human advance. They are special izjng. because they are human. They are organizing. because they are hu- man They are seeking economic and political independence, because they are human They are demand ing the vote. because they are hn- man.
 Against this swelling tide stands the mere mass of inert old-World ignorance. backed by the perVerse misconception of modern minds which even science fails to illuminate. Go back" says this mass. You i are women You are nothing but Wo- i men. You are females-nothing but females. All these things you want 1 to do are male things. You cannot do them without being a male. You
 want to be males. It is abhorrent outrageous, impossible."
 | All these adjectives and horrors would be freely granted if Wome1 1 really could become males-or ever if they wanted to, But what need: to be hammered into these male-rid den minds is that these things tn women want to do and be and haN' are not in any sense masculine, The! do not belong to men.

The June Woman's Home Compan- ion contains an article on Fannie Mer- Merritt Farmer. who for the past thirty years has been famous teacher of cookery Miss Farmer has lately established summer school and iN connection with this part of her work the author of the article writes:
 This is an interesting development, for many of the students attending the summer courses in July and August are graduates in science from colleges in different parts of the country, teachers matrons in institutions and nurses from hospital training schools, who come to Miss Farmer for post graduate courses both theoretical and severely practical. There are lectures in dietetics, the feeding of infants and children. invalid cookery and the man agement of kitchen and commissariat institutions, together with actual prac- tice in ouying at the large city mark

Captain Rostron

It was the fortune of Captain Ar thur Henry Rostron to perform d service of uncommon distinction and grandeur Think of saving seven hundred lives. Nor does it dim his title that the opportunity was his rather than anothers. We may be- lieve, indeed, that every other cap tain who heard the call of the Titanic would have accomplished what he did, and as handsomely, with his advan- tage of position. That one there was, with at least two precious hours the advantage of Captain Rostron, who failed. need not confuse confidence in the general average of capacity for such an emergency. Except Tor inexplicable mental inertness in the comprehension of a familiar signal II may considerably be believed that this captain, too, would have per formed the simple. if tremendously important. sailor duty thus suddenly demanded The comparison does serve to remind us that the quality of luck. after all, depends on readl' ness to embrace it.

All Were Republicans

The republican party is distin- euished for the quickness and facility with which it heals it's wounds; the Iapidity and thoroughuess with which it fills factionaI chasms and for it's great gift of getting together and presenting an unbroken front to the enemy.
 There was never finer illustration of the republican quality we are try ing to describe than in the proceed ings of the convention, or rather the two conventions at Tucson on Mon day It was in d spirit of friendH- ness and with mingled emotions If affection and joy that the convention split in the Tucson opera house. each organizing on its own side of the auditorium.
 Then came the aftermath of hand shaking joy riding and the pouring out in the te-.lples of Rossi, Fl Moro, Santa Rita and Heidel. libations 70 the gods of politics and pledges to support whomsoever the gods should favor at Chicago.
 Each faction had done it's best The fight, so far as it could be con- ducted in Arizona was over. Heart burnings and bitterness could in no wise change the thenceforward course of events. Right here, before tn, smoke of battle had cleared away tn late factions were welded togethe into a single harmonious republican party
 Differences of opinion regardin some great principle had not effecte the division of the party It is tru that one faction was loosely calle the 'progressives" and the other tn and-patters" Neither is a correC designation Not one of the leader of the Roosevelt wing is a 'progres sive" within the meaning of the wor as it is applied to LaFollette, Bourn Bristow and other visionaries demagogues With the progressive movement the bulk of the Rooseve faction has no sympathy
 On the other hand, there is m among the supporters of Taft in Ar zona. that is, among the leaders, real stand d-patter," one opposed progress or to an intelligently direc ed change in conformity to constan ly changing conditions
 That there were selfish men in bo camps is not to be doubted On ol side there were some who believ that they would personally fare be ter if Roosevelt were president. the other side there were some W had a personal interest in the T tention of Taft
 But, in the main, all the men
 both sides are good republicans a there is no difference in the quail of their republicanism.

Root and the chairmanship

Roose- welt is still to be regarded as repub- rcan and that if nominated he pro- poses to run as the regular repuo- ,ican candidate. No list of the most nrominent living republicans would
 be complete unless it contained the name of Senator Root If his repuh- Iicanisn does not meet the Roosevelt reouirements, where is chairman 10 he found who will meet them? Fur thermore. during the seven years MT Roosevelt was in the White House Senator Root was one of the mem hers of his official family, and un-
 douhtedIv did as much as any othel one man to assure the success oI ms administration. There is nothing tC indicate that the senator's principles have undergone any change since 1908. If he was good enough mar
