AUTO PARADE
 |S POSTPONED
Splendid As It Would Have Been It Will Be More Spectacular When It Does Take Place, Two Weeks Later

Regardless oc the board of trade
 Ard Wclch's piercing shricks, The rainstorm ditched the biz parade
 And put it off two weeks.
 But when it does take place 1t will be bigger and better than ever and there will be many more people in Phoenix able to buy automobiles, be- cause of the rain.
 When Harry Welch arose yesterday morning and peered out through his rain streaked window pane he knew it was all off but he would not ad- init it. He put on a pair of gum Looks and slickcr and drifted down town. determined to have q parade anyway and rent submarine ana ride at the head of it. But as the day wore along he changed his mind and got out an announcement that the rain was worth more than d dog cn parades and the big show was therefore off for two weeks. There will be more about it when that time approaches.

THE STATE OF MANHATTAN.

The proposition of creating the state of Manhattan out of the city of New York is interesting from differ ent points of view. not the least so from the fact that in it's politics the aew commonwealth would represent the opposite of politics prevailing in the west. so far as most current ques- tions are concerned
 The new state would be one of the most populous in the Union. concen- trated in a manner which would make it the smallest territorially. It would also be curiosity otherwise, and still a potent factor in national poli- tics. though it would not occupy the commanding position which results from the present primacy of the Elm pire State in population.
 The state of Manhattan would have about one-half of this population and a representation in congress of two senators and about twenty members Of the house of representatives. It would be beyond all comparison the richest of the sisterhood of states, on ac- count of wealth which has accumu- lated there as a result of the mo- nopolizing of the country's business in different interests which center there
 The city at present pays the bulk of the state taxes. besides bearing the burdens of a municipal govern ment amounting to about s2OO.o0O,ooo annually. While the movement Tor separation is said to be favored by strong influences in the metropolis there will be opposition in the rural districts of the state
 It is hardly necessary to state that the influence of money Tn pohtlcs will be somewhat in evidence Tn the contest which is to follow the lhtro duction of the bill for the proposed division in the state Legislature at Albany Muskogee Daily Phoenix.

 CLUB CLOSED
Social" Resort at First and Monroe Goes Out of Busi- ness at the Suggestion of the City Attorney and the Police

The notorious Afro American club. long line or more or iesS vicious ten ants that have occupied the adobe structure at the southeast corner of First and Monroe streets during the last thirty years. closed last night at midnight, and has added its finished record to Phoenix history. At least 1t was ordered closed by the city attor- ney and the city marshal and as far as known the order has been obeyed. In any event if the institution does not stay closed the police have orders to bring its management into court. The place was not closed for any particu- lar high crime but on its general rep utation as the lair of small crimes and misdemeanors. with occasional outbreaks in which life was endan- gered and in one or two instances all but taken.
 The old corner is a historical one Some twenty-five or thirty years ago and for some years thereafter, Mon- roe street for block or so either way from than corner, was known to lame as the redlight district The rest of that section of the city has gradually given way to the demands of business until it is now all business or residence property, save the old corner. For the last year or so that has been de- voted to the needs of q stratum of colored society" To that end the Afro American Social club has been maintained in such a way that thirsty colored gemmen in good standing could be succored if they had the price Moreover, it has been suspected that some quiet little games have been pulled off in defiance of the laws that are supposed to protect the innocent from the application of the laws of chance. or no chance. as the case may be.

THE PRICE OF OIL.

Prices of oil have gone up steadily since the dissolution of the oil trust by decree of the United States su- preme court. A representative of the Standard Oil company is quoted as saving that the prices will go still higher. Three times within the last few weeks the Standard Oil company has advanced the rate of payment for crude petroleum. and there have been corresponding increases in the whole sale and retail quotations of kerosene. gasoline and other refined products.
 The purpose of the government in steking to compel competition is to benefit consumers by keeping down prices. The recent increase in prices of oil may have been due entirely to natural conditions. But the public is skeptical on this point.
 The fact is that the decree of dis solution in the Standard Oil case did not result in the restoration of com petitive conditions. The real owner ship of the properties controlled by the trust did not change. Only the form of the holdings was altered If there was, in fact. monopoly cOnrtol of the oil industry before the decree of dissolution. that monopoly control still continues The chief difference is that the cost Of conducting the oil business has been increased because of the new and complicated condi- tiOns imposed by the court decree.
 As the Daily News has pointed ont many times. the trust problem is not so easy of solution as the believers in court prosecution under the Sher man antitrust law seem to think. To the reflective mind there is little cause for surprise in the fact that oil prices have advanced since the de- cree of dissolution was put into ef- fect-ChicaSo News.
