One reason that the people are not more fair to railroads is be- cause railroads usually take ad- vantage of them if they can. The people are becoming more and more convinced that the worst they can do to railroad the better it is for them. No fair grounds are permissible according to the railroad officials rules of the game. Years of evasion, side.stepping direct issues and putting off claim ants have put the people in a mood for any legislation against them. A few years more ofthis sortof thing and the railroads will have to beg for their rights in turn.

you that he has been advised of the fact that the other fellow has discovered the fact that there is something coming to you. By the following July, the man with the government purse strings, con cludes that there is no further chance for an error, and advises you that he believee he is going to pay it and sometime later a real government check arrives. At rough guess the little old check for six or eight dollars has cost Uncle Sam about $50 to properly audit it and pay it. This may appear exaggerated, but it is nearly true. The Forest Service and many other divisions have improved systems, but others are using systems so ancient and in volved that twice the number of people necessary are employed to keep it up.

The inconsistent freight rates are arousing the people more and more every shining hour. The longer the railroads can stave off judgment the more profits they receive by. reason of the delay. With the stockmen the delay was for the purpose of clearing up about SEQ, 1000 extra on cattle ship. ments this year from Arizona, before making adjustment. It is said that rates to Flagstaff are higher than to any other point except Alaska. For instance a recent shipment of machinery showed the rate from Erie, Pa. {, to Chicago to be 30 cents per hundred; from Chicago to Flag staff $2.8I per hundred. It hardly seems possible that such differ ences could exist, but they do, and merely because we haven't been able to help ourselves.

BAH IS ABSOLUTELY CORRECT

The proposition of M. G. Cuniff candidate for President of the first State Senate in Arizona, to submit the question as to whether there shall be state election next No- vember to the people for decision, at an election, is further evidence that Arizona is to have a govern ment of pure democracy carried to an extreme. We naturally sup posed that the question was legal one and would be decided by the courts. If not, then we insist that the voters be supplied with copies of the Enabling Act. The Con- stitution of Arizona, Ordinance No. 2, Cooley on Forts, Green leaf on Evidence, a Law Diction- ary, a course in correspondence school of law--in order that the voter may be fully prepared to act intelligently as the court of last resort. If this question, which naturally is one for the Supreme Court to decide, is to be referred to the people, why not refer all election contest cases2 And, in the end, why any Supreme Court at all2 LET THE PEOPLE RULEl Bah.-Clitton Copper Era.

A store does not attempt to compete in value-giving until it attempts to compete in advertising with other stores. And then of course, it has to begin to offer real values. The store that pays for publicity is apt to have a reason for wanting it-just as the store that is not advertised may have some reason for avoiding publicity. Tucson Citizen

An exchange tells what a new

An exchange tells what a news paper is as follows: A newspaper is athing that every person in town knows how to run except the editor. It is what should be open for roasts on everybody except yourself and few of your friends, for whom it should be a sweet scented bequest of praise. It is what you want to see the editor keep your name out of as soon as you have settled with the police justice the morning after. It is what is just to inquisitive and horrid when the reporter wishes to know about the bridge, club and is a mean old sheet that never gets things right when your name is committed from among those present. It is what no one forgets to condemn for its mistakes, but never remembers to praise for the good it accomplishes.

A DISAPPOINTMENT.

The COlonel's speech is a distinct
disappointment. We expected to be
shocked, and it wasn't very shock
ing-fOr the Colonel. We thought
it would be sensational, but it
wasn't very sensational-not for the
Colonel. The one surprise was his
u~tterance on the negro question, and
that was not a part of his s~o-called
confession of faith. No n of
course, expects him to be consistent
very long on any matter under
heaven, but no one expected the
whilhoIm host of Booker Washing
ton to turn such a complete somer-
sault.
His programme Of governmental
regulation of all things from the
town clock to the procession of the
equinoxes, is vicious enough, but it
is not new, and it is not peculiar to
him.
Brownsville herald. [volume] (Brownsville, Tex.) 1910-current, 1912-08-09
A CAPACIOUS

The Colonel's party's platform is
designed to catch 'em a-coming and
a-going. There is a suffragette
plank for the believers in woman
suffrage. There is a protection
plank for the protectionist and a
tariff revision plank for the
tariff revisisionist. There are the
initiative, referendum and recall for
the people who are down on the
courts. There is a plea for a tariff
board for the people who believe in
government by special commissions.
There is a demand for more battle
ships 10 pelase the jingoes, and a de-
mand for disarmament for the
practically inclined.
1t contains all the planks Of the
democratic platform and several
planks which neither the democrats
nor the republicans have been will
ing to father. Altogether it is a
pretty smooth document, and it
proves that the colonel is not 50
headlong and impetuous as he pre-
tends to be.
The platform is a political drag
net of capacity sufficient to hold a
good many kinds of fish, large and
small.

THE CASE IN A NUTSHELL.

eve have got into trouble
in recent years chiefly because
these large things, which
ought to have been handled by
taking counsel with as large a
number of persons as possible,
because they touch every inter
est in the life of every class
and religion, have in fact been
too often handled in private
conference. They have been
settled by very small, and often,
deliberately exclusive groups
of men who undertook to speak
for the whole nation, or, rather,
for themselves in the terms of
the whole nation-very honest
ly il may be, but very igno-
rantly sometimes, and very
shortsightedly, too. Our diff
iculty is not that wicked and
designing men have plotted
against us, but that our com
mon affairs have been deter
mined upon too narrow a view,
and by too private an initia-
tive. Our task now is to effect
a great readjustmcnt and get
the forces Of the whole people
onc more into play. We need
no revolution; we need no ex-
CITED change; we need only a

Descendants of the Germans Who Came

to This Country In 1852.
To most Americans the word Dutch
means German. The Dutch are Hol-
landers from the Netherlands. New
York was first settled by the Dutch
from Holland.
The first Germans came to this coun-
try in 1862 and settled at Germantown.
II is estimated that the Germans and
their descendants in Pennsylvania
numbered 100000 at the time of our
revolution. The descendants of these
are called the Pennsylvania Germans
or Dutch. The word Dutch is a cor
ruption Of Deutsch, meaning German.
The early Germans were followers
OF Memo Simons, known as Mennon-
ties. They were prosecuted in their
own country on accoun OF their re-
ligious belief and when Penn offered
religious liberty 1t was gladly accept
ed by them. The prosecuted Germans
came largely from the Rhenish palati-
nate, Wurtemberg. from the lower
Rhine, Alsace, Saxony and Switzer-
land.
