The council protested and urged that the city had 10 indebtedness and had sufficient money in. the treasury to obviate the necessity of tax levy. The mayor believed it was the duty of tine council to confirm any appointment she made and that 1t was their duty to give reasons for failure to confirm. The members of the council disliked the idea of serving with woman mayor. and were set in their notion that they would not submit to dicta- ton by her. By reason of local goss.p D council meeting soon came to be regarded as a great attraction and amusement. and even people from the country would come in to attend, the result being an unseemly and dis orderly gathering, with but little ac- complished except the entertainment Of the assembled crowd.

DEMOCRATS AT HELM.
Florence Blade.)


 The fact that the Arizona Daily Democrat has been purchased from the Pacific Gas company by such ster- ling citizens and genuine democrats os are Geo. Olney, w. T. Webb, Ed A. Sawyer, John O. and Mark Dunbar, is gratifying to the real democracy of the state. With these men at the helm there can be no doubt that the Democrat will be steered along straight democratic lines ana will al ways be a trustworthy champion of the peoples rights and interests. Every good democrat should place bis name upon the subscription list of the paper and thus insure it's success. A free and untrammeled daily paper at the state capital is something the party has long needed and the Demo crat under it's new ownership. meets this necessity fully. John O.

If General Diaz is executed as the penalty for having inausurated pep gun revolution at Vera Cruz the exc eution will be more cr less shocking to the sensibilities of persons upon this side of the border, of course. But revolution, even in Latin-American state, is more or less shocking to the sensibilitics of advocates of orderIi. naSs and good government.
 That General Diaz had eny other ob. 5ectsl than his own selfish ends in starting a revolution while the Mexi- can government was occupied in sup pressing other similar movements in other sections is not apparent.

 Revolutions are grave in any event, and gentlemen with pencnant for leadership who start them up do so at their personal risk and with a fnll knowledge of the conventional conse- Quenees of failure. General Diaz is perhaps less well thought of, and less sympathized with, than the average reyolutionist, because he struck be- low the belt while President Madero was engaged with other enemies. President Madero's refusal to inter- fere in his behalf is reasonable enough. If the supreme court order should save the generals neck his good fortune would be unquesaion- able. but many persons in Mexico and elsewhere would regard it as un. deserved, though the high regard for his illustriouns uncle would perhaps suppress any strenuous protest.

 As we look into the mirror of that coming age, we cannot fail to see, in our minds eye, a most deplorable picture. resulting from woman being placed on the rulers throne, and the downfall Of more men.

IRRIGATION CONGRESS FOR ARIZONA.

When 1t was decided by the Ma tional Irrigation Congress at it's ses- sion thrs year to hold the next an nuaI session at Phoenix there were expressions of eradication through out the state. Soon afterwards when the citizens of Phoenix began to reckon the cost of entertaining this congress it was thought a bigger un- dertaking than the capital city could handle and it was intimated that the irrigation congress would be allowed to go elsewhere.
 Last week, however. during the fair when there were many Arizon- ans present from every section of the state a conference was held and it was decided to go ahead with the preparations for the congress and ask the various cities of the state ts chip In and help bear the expense with Phoenix.
 Al a conference of the county su- pervisors held in Phoenix last week the question of the desirability to have the irrigation congress held in Arizona was favorably considered and among the supervisors the sentiment prevailed that the people of the state, generally. would be wiling to gise assistance in meeting the cost rather than to have the idea of it's coming abandoned.

 RESTRICTING PROFANITY
tRecord Herald.)

l thecord Herald.1
 The specialization of functiou is reaching a very high point in the industrial world. but it is impossible to read without surprise of the latest manifestation of this tendency. There comes from Philadelphia a report that the director of the department Of pub lie works has threatened to appoint an official swearer in order to remove the additional strain that indiscrfm- mate swearing places upon the em- ployes of the city. The director be lieyes that the city could afford to pay a man a good round sum to do all the pla and fancy swearing If the ener- BY used up in profanity by other em- ployes were thereby saved.
 We had supposed that the City of Brotherly Love conducted it's business without so much verbal friction, but let that pass. The idea Is the great point, for 1t is an extreme application of the laws of scientific management. Conservation of energy, not moral i'm, proyemept, is the end sought. The baneful effect of profanity on public
 
 ured by the appointment of an ofi- cial swearer; nevertheless, We had expected better things of Philadel- phia.
 Even if one disregards moral con alterations altogether, the particular sort of conservation which should be sought is not the conservation of time and energy. It is the conservation of emphasis. Just as the plurality suf- fered by the man who lies is not that nobody believes him but that he can, not believe himself, so the penalty suffered by the man who swears Is not so much that he Is a public nuis- ance as that he can no longer rise to a crisis and achieve any kind of emphasis in speech when emphasis is necessary. Swearing, like too much slang, impoyerishes the language It should be reprobated on that ground by those who care nothing for the moral aspect.
