WHY GET SCARED?

The present is looked upon very
critically by "standpatters" both
Republicans and Democrats, and
some have already lost their nerve
partly from habit, partly from
ignorance, and partly for a pur-
pose political purpose.
The real Republican politician
wants to discourage and discredit
the present Democratic admins
tration in their attitude toward
the tariff. This same politician
is playing a game, and should he
get enough people thinking his
way then he wins, but he is hay-
ing one of the hardest games on
his hands that he has ever had.
The great hidden and dangerous
rocks that somewhere Turk about
and that will give hinderance to
his smooth sailing are the great
unwieldly concrete blocks of non
confidence which were started in
the present century and recently
completed, but when a dispute
arose these blocks were dumped
overheard and remain some
where in the political sea as bar
riers for future success.
The Democratic politician, at
the close of the last century, had
similar blocks, and those blocks
have been tormentors and dread
ed things and have kept him
explaining, watching and wait
ing for the last sixteen years.
All the safety appliances of free
silver, Imperialism and free trade
were used to guard against these
dangerous blocks. After sixteen
years this politician was permitted
to try his hand again, and make
an effort to locate and dissect the
concrete blocks of the last cen
fury; the work is now going on;
all eyes are turned upon the pres
ent administration.
The administration has found
out what will effectively do the
work, and that is the High Ex-
plosives" known as "progressiv-
ism. The administration has a
big supply, but the only question
is, has it enough to blast the con-
crete blocks? Some of the south
ern Senators and Representatives
have lost their Explosive
Power = they are latent they
need recuperation they need the
High Explosive, . or they need
to retrace their steps, and gather
up what they have lost Of this
essential political High Ex-
plosives.
Of course, the Progressives in
Congress, are waiting for the
time when they will have enough
ef this High Explosives" to
atomic all the concrete blocks,
and get the praise for so doing
under a distinct name the Pro-
gressive party.

 ARIZONA SUNSHINE
Dr. Andrew E. Douglas, of U. of A., Is At Work With Rare instrument

That it is well within the range of possibility that a few years more will see the sun pumping water and gencr- atiag electricity on a commercial scale is the belief Of Dr. Andrew E. Douglas. professor of physics and as- tronomy of the University of Arizona. Professor Douglas has just installed at the University a delicate instru- ment, which measures and records the energy given oil by the sun.
 This wonderful instrument, which is called a recording pyrheliometer--a combination of a Caliendsr pyrhelio- Iaeter (sun-heat measareerl and a re cording galvsnometer, enables the sun to draw picture of it's own work dur ing the day. A fine line of red ink is traced across a squared paper while. the sun shines steadily. the line Is quite even and smooth, but when the clouds intervene. violent changes in the continuity of the line are caused On the roof of the science building is installed a sunshine receiver, which communicates with the recording mechanism in Dr. Douglass office by slender platinum wires.
 Every variation in the suns rays is recorded. even 10 the sunrise and sun set Wneh the professor eTemines his record. he can tell the amount of the sun energy that is available tor croD growth or for pumping. Thero are only a small number of these in- strlments in operation in the world. in the United States one is located at Madison, Wis, and another neer
