The lawyer roundiy curses
The business he is in;
The poet damns his verses
And claims they keep him thin;
The cop would be a tailor,
The tailor be a cop,
The farmer be a sailor,
The sailor tend the crop.
The Journalist declares he
Would sell cigars instead;
The Spectator swears he
Would keep an oyster bed;
In every occupation
The people seem to throb
To try some new vocation
The other fellows job.
But when the circumstances
Would free them from their groove
They do not take the chances; 8
They do not want to move.
Their trade-they sourly view It
With venom and with gall;
And yet they're sticking to it;
They like 1t, after all!

THE THREATENED VETOES.

IT F the President fuIfls all the veto predictions made for him
by his adherents at Washington he will break the record.
The steel bill, the wool bill, the sugar bill and the cotton bill
are all to come to him from Congress, and also the legislative,
executive and judicial bill, which latter bill provides for the
extinguishment of his Commerce Court To endeavor to save
this exposed and unpopular weapon of the special interests will
the President throw back upon Congress a bill which provides
the means for carrying on the three branches of the govern
ment? So strong is the feeling in Congress against this court
that it is more than probable the veto would be o%verridden. AS
for the expected tariff bill vetoes, they will be allowed TO stand
until after the people have spoken in November, and then if they
ere whipped through Congress at the short session perhaps there
will be reason for an executive change of mind.

REMEDIAL LAWS FOR LABOR.

IT is true that Lloyd George, the British chancellor, antici
pated the Progressive convention in the matter of work
mems insurance, but Lloyd George was himself anticipated
by Germany. He only adopted an idea already in vogue. But
il is a hopeful sign of the times in Europe, and it means that
political parties are turning their attention to practical and
workable schemes for the benefit of the toiler and to strip old
age of its terrors. LoydGeorge took up the question daunt-
lessly in a nation that. has cared little for its labor except to
wiring wealth from 1t. He has faced mockery and bitter hatreds.
The "Welshman" is depicted in London mansions with horns
and a forked tail. But he has got the ear of the British nation,
and if he lives be will achieve more for England, for the welfare
and happiness of her people, than any pretentious statesman
who preceded him. In the United States, with it's rapid and
vast accumulation of wealth and the growing contrast in social
life, great remedial laws for labor are due and bound to come.

A HARD ONE

IT was a cold and snowy day when
Weary Willie presented himself at
the farmhouse door and humbly re-
quested the sharp-faced woman to
provide him with enough food 10 sus-
tain within him the spark of life.
He explained that while this spark
was not especially useful at that time
he had ambitions and expected to
fan 1t into a flame of industry which
would fully Justify any kindness on
her part.
The farmers wife was not at all
impressed with willie's plea and
emitted a long, shrill ~denunciation OF
any man who was unwilling to hurl
himself out of bed at 1 o'clock in the
morning and work fevershly until s
o'clock at night. Gaping oft the days

however, she Indignantly flung Willie
an uninviting-looking hunk Of mince
pie. Willie failed to catch it and it
struck the snow so heavily that 1t
stirred up a cloud of the feathery
fakes. Willie nshed 1t out and. dis
appeared.
The next day he returned and said
to the sharp-faced woman, in a tone
of great respect:
would you be kind enough to give
me the recipe for the mince pie Iggot
here yesterday"
1.-THE ideal" said the woman, and
launched into a terrific howl against
Willie's impudence.

ABANDON THE BATTLEsHIp CAUCUS.

cTS He failure of the Democrats of the House to secure attend.
Ii ance at the caucus to settle the battleship question did
not indicate Indifference to the question that has stirred
the whole country. 1t only revealed the decentralization that the
foolish action by the first caucus caused. 1t is proyerbiallv a
penchant of the Democrats to do foolish things at times, and
the vote to strike out all appropriation for the battleships in the
naval bill was superlatively foolish. Called down by the septi
Inent of the country, the caucus should have reassembled and
revoked its action, but it stuck TO it's blunder. With the failure
to hold the caucus last night the Democratic members should
now vote as their judgment and patriotism dictate.

PURE ENGLISH

A lecturer gave a very learned and
interesting address before a women's
club ON "The Decadence of Pure Eng
lish.' AT the close of the. talk a
much o~ver-dressed woman came up
to him and said: II did enjoy your
talk ever and eve so much, and
agree with 0 that the English
language is decading something aw-
full. Hardly no II talks proper
nowadays, and heaven only knows
what the next generation will talk
if nothing amt done about it."-Tit-

FOOLISH AND UBIQUITOUS TREATIES.

cTaHE folly and .iniquity of making treaties which cannot and
ought not TO be kept" as declared by Roosevelt. refers
pointedly to the arbitration treaties negotiated by Mr.
Taft and rejected by the Senate. And the dispute over the cues
iion of the canal tolls serves to illustrate the truth of the re-
mark. If the Senate had approved the treaties there wouldn't
be any question of free tolls for American ships, for it would be
subject to the decision Of a foreign tribunal that would infalEbly.
decide against the United States. The defeat of those prepos-
ferrous treaties was the best service tine Senate has rendered the
country in many years.

THE TAFT ROUT IN KANSAS.

eTa HE first test of Republican sentiment since the Chicago
convention in June was witnessed in Kansas Yesterday
where a Statewide primary was held for presidential
electors, congressman and State officers. The result was in.
strucfive. In an unusually heavy vote the Taft forces were
overwhelmed at the polls. A strenuous campaign had been
made for the Taft electors, the defeat of the Roosevelt electors
heng urged as vitality necessary in view of the probability of
The Supreme Court declaring their selection illegal. But evi.
IDENTITY this logic made little impression on the voters and tbe
Taft candidates for governor, Congress and State offices were
fairly submerged in the deluge. Kansas is a typical Western
State. Is the Republican sentimen in Kansas different from
what it is in other strong Republican States since the Chicago
convention?

THE JOHNSON CASE
The federal grand jury resum-
ed its inquiry into Jack Johnson's
case today.
Chief witnesses were Johnson's
attendant, Toots Marshall, Ada
Banks, who is reported to have
shot Johnson in the foot two
weeks ago, George Smiley, the
doorkeeper at the cafe de Cham
pion, and Chauffeur Herman
Dean.
Vic Shaw, wife of Roy Jones,
one of the kings of the redlight
district, has been subpoenaed to
appear before the grand jury and
tell what she knows of Johnson's
connection with white women.
1t was in Vic Shaw's resort at
2014 Dearborn street, that Nate
Moore, the young millionaire,
was found dead a year ago
Present indications are that the
jury will adjourn tonight until
Wednesday in order to consider
the indictment of Johnson, and
late today it did not seem likely
that Johnson would be indicted.

from Judge Sloan announced his
recess appointment as federal Judge
OF this district and stated that he
had qualified and would arrive in
Phoenix next Wednesday to get

against him became increased in
bitterness and he went to the cap
