THE TEACuP AND

It Is a familiar story that when
Washington was asked the reason Tor
a congress Of two chambers nc lIk'
cned the house to d cup OF hot tea
aud the senate TO the saucer into
which the tea was poured 70 make it
cool enough for slipping.
To serve this function the saucer
did not have to be MADE of china
different from the cup. 1t did not have
to be made at different factory. 1t
eoakl just as well be made OF the
same clay by the same hands.
Why then contend that election Of
senators directly by the people, in

WIEN BOTH WANT A DIVORCE


One Judge says that too many hus
bands and wives agree to be divorced.
IN recent statement he declared
that he would give no divorces to a
married couple who continue to live
under the same roof after separa
ton is asked, where the wife gets
breakfast for her husband in the
morning and gets a divorce before
supper"
he law contemplates that there
shall be q real disagreement said
the judge Il don't believe = disagree
ment exists when man and wife live
under the same roof during the pen
lency OF suit
The good judge ought to remember,
however, that possibly the only agree
ment in months between a warning
couple might be the one agreeing to
permanently disagree-that is, TO be
divorced

vorce and who ought to have one,

FINE POINT ABOUT THE LAW
Somewhat Curious Problem Has Seen
Raised by the Decision Of
Learned Judge.

Suppose you owned a dog and
neighbor asked the courts to compel
you TO keep il from barking and yelp-
ing day and night, interfering with
his business and causing him and his
family loss Of sleep. and suppose the
court handed down a decree requiring
you to restrain your dog from bark
ing. yelping and bowling. except in
cases of burglary or fire how would
you set about obeying the order?
If you fix il so the dog cannot bark
at all and burglars invade your domi-
Gle or fire breaks out and the dog
cannot bark, you may be robbed or
murdered in peril by disobeying the
Injunction that your restraint Of the
barking. yelping and bowling shall ex-
tend only to those periods when there
is no burglary or fire. For the order
expressly limits your right 10 restrain
any barking. yelping and bowling
aforesaid by those exceptions.
Must you sit up nights and look out
for burglars and fires and be ready to
remove your restraint Of the dogs
vocalization when either or both ap-
pear?
Yes, you might get rid Of the dog,
Of course, but there is nothing said
about that The law does not prohib-
It you keeping the dog All it is con-
cerned about Is that you shall not al
low the dog to become a nuisance
You have to place II under restraint.
But you can at least congratulate
yourself that, unlike the trusts, you
do not have 70 worry about what con-
.stiiu'es reasonable restraint because
there's not a word about reasonable
ness in the law. All you have.toido
is 90 restrain the animal from bark
ing. yeiplng and bowling, except in
eases Of burglary or fire. The 'excep-
ton may. it is true, seem unreason-
able. but the law is made TO be obeyed
somehow and II leaves It to you to
End out how.

The PURCHASING
DEPARTMENT.

Among the recommendations Of
Governor Hunt to the legislature in
extraordinary session is a repetition
Of one in his message to the
regular ssion with reference to
the creation of a Purchasing depart
ment" A purchasing department,
such as the governor has recon-
mended means the location in the
hands of the governor alone, subject
to no restrictions whatever, the pow
er Of executing every contract and
expending every cent Of the public
money
Dyt We can assure Governor Hunt
that the Legislature VIII not 50 over
load him. He stands just as good a
chance as a SNOWFALL would have in
passing intact through Yuma in mid,
summer; or as celluloid dog would
have in chasing an asbestos cat
through the flames of hades.
The house will permit the const-uc.
ton of no such foundation for graft
Against it, we have the Jacobs bill
providing for the creation of an in
dependent and responsible board Of
control As we understand it, this
bill is similar in its terms to the Craig
bill which was passed by the house in
the regular session. but through the
influence Of The governor was defeated
in the senate. The Craig bill was da
fective in one single particular; il
undertook to remove from the Cover
nor certain powers that properly and
naturally belong to the executive. We
trust that this objection does not at
tach to the Jacobs bill.

We notice by a Phoenix newspaper
that Judson King. socialist and field
secretary of the National Referendum
league, has left capital for the east.
Wherefore, We would ask, should the
legislature remain in extraordinary
session? Mr.. King. as we under.
stand, claims to have directed its
movement throughout the regular ses-
sion with the approval OF the gov
ernor.
This naturally and logically brings
us to another matter, a statement OF
the governors message in which lie
urges again upon the legislature the
carrying out OF constitutional man
date" with reference to lobbying.
Now as 10 a constitutional mandate
there is no such a thing and there can
be none. But. Of course, the governor
is not expected to know that. He has
heard the word mandate used at
some time and perhaps thinks It is
some sort Of a heayier-than-air flying
machine.
But the goyrnor. we imagine. knows
what lobbying" means. He knows, il
he knows anything, that there was
great deal Of lobbying during the reg
ular session; that the corridors and
hotels were crowded with socialists
and anarchists trying TO push through
legislation that the governor himself
had recommended.
1t is another well known fact Of
which every member OF the legisla-
ture is aware that there was a strange
and utter absence OF lobbying by the
representatives of Special Interest"
and Private Greed" 1t is said that
throughout the session not an attor'
ney or other agent OF any railroad OF
other corporation visited the capitol
building except as an ordinary Wis

PhNhMA'S GOOD
EXAM PIE.

The announcement that a medical
official from India has been sent to
Panama in order to study what has
been accomplished there for the Grad
ication OF tropical diseases by the
United States government is worth
noting. The English have been in
India for two hundred years and have
done little to modify tropical disease
conditions The United States gov
eminent has been in Panama for less
than ten years and our enterprising
marine hospital service has done so
much that the English are sending
officers from India to study our
methods
There is no doubt now that practk
cally all of the diseases OF the tropics
can be greatly limited if not absoluto
~ eradicated by definite well known
sanitary regulations. We have demon
strated that the plague spot OF the
tropics" can bemade d health resort,
OF at least that its death rate can be
reduced below that of most Of the
cities OF the world This is why the
Indian medical officer comes TO inves-
tigate the conditions We have created
at Panama.
