ARIZONA DEMOCRACY
 IS BEING WRECKED

It is time for the demo ats of this state who believe that u demcratic party has other and mozo lofty pur- poses than that of providing an off ciaI salary, to speak plainly regarding conditions in this state which if al- lowed to continue will not only ruin the democratic party but will impover- ish the commonwealth. At the first state election the democrats conferr fought for progressive principles on the pledge given that the new state would be governed along the lines of business methods and economy.
 The result has been disappointing and we are confronted today with most reckless extravagance, and for the most part, in the hands of incom- petent men, but men who assume such high state of importance that they may not be advised by anyone and who devote the most of their time in abuse of newspapers and demo crats who would point out conditions that will surely wreck the party in Arizona if they are not abandoned.
 With the majority of the board of control openly and defantly ignoring the law in making the purchases for the public institutions precedent an example is set which is license to every state official, appointed or elected. to do as he pleases, regard less of the law If anyone believes that the people of Arizona, democrats republicans or bull moose will sane tion and uphold such business they will have a rude awakening to thelr mistake when it is too late to save themselves or the democratic party
 The present legislature is much to blame for the reckless extravaganza that has featured our state govern ment from the day of it's beginning to *he present day Commissions boards, assistants, deputies, clerks and stenographers have been herded at the state capital until the sum ot their upkeep makes one dizzy to con template. The added expense over what was required to run the old ter ritorial government amounts to proba bly, more than was required for al purposes previous to the beginning oi

cerned in the matter or who are com petent to judge a good teacher.
 The fact that society is composed of numberless orders and sects makes it safe to say that no two districts are alike any more than two teachers are alike. I may add here that Arizona with her new statehood obligations, her foreign element, the laping condi- tions caused by the east moving west and timber interests, her mining and irrigation projects, make many pecu- liarly hard problems for the teacher and school official The best of city teachers make miserable failures in our knotted and twisted mining camps while vigorous and up-to-date normal graduates are discouraged at their success in the rural communities. As "a result each year the county is prac tically emptied of its teachers and new outfit is installed by the same plan of securing teachers with no hope of ever solving the problem. All we have to do in the fall is to get our teachers and all there is left to do in the spring is to get rid of them. This endless confusion and expense is uncalled for. Teachers are like me chanics and farmers, only the best come to Arizona.
 This problem can largely be solved by the use of a little cooperation and personal touch on the part of state and county superintendents, trustees and city principals and our normal presidents. The employment of teachers concerns all of us. Most of

FIGHTING AND eETTINGs
 RID OF TEACHERS"

State Superintendent Blair of Hi nois gvies us a very practical discus sion on this subject which is of great importance at this time of year when we consider that more than ten thousand teachers will be employed within the next two months to teach in the country schools" While MT. Blairs' discussion is in general way it would be well for us to consider our own method of getting and getting rid Of teachers.
 The Arizona school law provides that the board of trustees of the dis trict employ under written contract, all employees of the school" So far as getting teachers is concerned this provision of the law is compiled With to the letter in Arizona. Trustees take the position that it is none of the superintendents' business who they employ and indicate that they can manage this affair without any of his advice or suggestions. If, however, the teacher fails, is found to be in- competent, cruel, negligent or i'm moral, it becomes at once very much the superintendents' business. He is called upon to straighten things out immediately as the trustees do not care to hurt. the teachers feelings or incur the wrath of her friends. If the trustees are competent to get a teacher without any assistance they ought to show themselves competent to get rid of her without any assist ance.
 The law places this important duty upon the directors because they are the proper ones to perform it and not because they are the only ones in the district. county or state who are con

the present administration. The fol- . lowing from the Arizona Democrat presents a true picture of our present state government and what the demo- crats~have to face in the next cam paign.
 Statehood under a democratic ad- ministration is on trial, and if the state government is administered the coming eighteen months as it has been in the past, the democratic party will be doomed, and the state brought to the verge of bankruptcy.
 The Democrat is not an alarmist, and we believe in giving new, untried of can reconcile the actions of the Ge- mocracy in this state for the past ten months with either common decency or good government. These are harsh terms, but are justif1ble. The Legislature fights the governor, the capitol building is filled with useless and needless clerks, all drawing big salaries, and the common beast of 1 burden, the taxpayer, is paying the bill for this wanton waste and erim- inal disregard of law, politics, decency and economical government. We i find clerks in high appointive offices who have never been able to com mand a salary of S75 per month, now handling big commissions with S250 per month salaries, with clerks and stenographers galore at their com mand We wish to impress upon the men who are responsible for this de |. plorable condition of business affairs that an accounting will be had at the next election. The top-heavy appro- priation bills now confronting the tax payers are appalling. Yet the men who are spending this money with lavish hands on automobiles and oth
 CT useless luxuries, go on as if they owned the state and it's resources and

the confusion is caused by misfits and independent action on the part of the trustees. The county superintendent knows his teachers and the peculiari- ties of the various districts and ought to be the most competent person in the county to assist the trustees in getting the right teacher. At tllis time of the year some forty applica- tions and inquiries nour into the state superintendent's office daily from teachers all over the country If he has any reliable knowledge of their fitness to teach he ought to recon mend them to the county where, in his judgment they could do their best work Whenever the trustees and city superintendent discover that they have misfit and the teacher is de- serving but her experience and train ing is not an advantage but rather disadvantage in their district it would not only relieve them but perhaps prove blessing to the teacher and some other district as well if they would take a little time and pains to place her in some suitable locality. The very fact that our state affords such a variety of communities makes it all the easier for us to retain the best teachers by using a little judg ment in placing them and to get rid of the poor teachers by telling them that the work is too difficult and hard and it would be advisable for thep to hunt another field.

Il have often noticed" Bismarck once

as wrong to think too much as to think
too little When there is need OF instant
decision and quick action he who hest
tates Is lost-and loses.
The "malady Of indecision' is recog-
nized by neurologists. Its victims need
to have their minds made up for them.
Left to themselves, they would never
choose They would continue to weigh
pros and cons, to raise ridiculous objec-
lions, to conjure up bogies. to be assailed
by doubts and fears very real and painful
to themselves. though laughed to scorn
by others If we are physically and nerv-
ously .tbelow par our minds seem to
take fiend's delight in playing tricks
on us. They are tricks we are ashamed
to confess to anybody. lest We be con-
sidered crazy. We think how fortunate is
every one else We meet who is not so
plagued and harassed. If we could look
into their minds We should be astonished
to find IN many cases a chaotic disarray
rivaling the confusion that prevails in
our own storehouse of fact and fancy.
Much is said today of the control OF
the mind over the body. Many persons
hold that the body has no rights in tie

must now be up and stirring coura-

PLUMP BRIDES.
Pre- Marriage Customs of the African
Ekoi Tribes.

From London Tit Bits
In is interesting 10 conjecture what
English girls who are about to be mar
ried would think of the .fatting house"
custom of the Ekoi tribes of South Africa.
For there girls who have been betrothed
are forced to 20 into retirement for a con-
siderable length of time. while they are
dieted and strengthened and fattened for
their coming marriage.
The girl is not permitted to spend
months in strenuous preparation for the
ceremony. The man objects to such a
proceeding. He says quite frankly that
he wants her fresh and strong and per-
fectly rested. And her parents gather all
the money to be had and spend IL willing
Iy In giving her the necessary Seclusion.
First she is decked out in the conven-
ional clearinghouse" costume which is
OF the oldest. The 'fatting house or
naments consist of long tassels and
palm-leaf fibers and dyed a vivid red.
These are hung many times about the
neck.
The body from the waist is smeared
heavily with the same red dye, made
from the camwood tree, and the face
Is painted in curious patterns and colors.
The stranger and more hideous the pat
tern the better satisfied is the girl. The
hair is dressed very deliberately, high on
the head and profusely DECORATED with
combs and pompons and beads of all
kinds and descriptions.
Then. after all that is duly attended
TO, she Is put in the "fatting house"
and kept there for varying periods. from
few months to couple of years. ac-
cording to the wealth of her parents
For the board at such a place is not
cheap. and often a family's purse is
strained to afford the daughter a lengthy
stay She Is not allowed to do any work
nor TO go out, except at regular inter
walls for exercise. And all the time she
is most carefully and abundantly fed
that she may be plump and healthy.
1t seems that Ekoi braves do not care
for thin wives, and il was because of
their tastes that such a custom origi-
mated. The girls are permitted no diver
sions either. except, II they wish they
may paint the walls of their room But
they are not allowed to wash their faces
during the whole of their seclusion. for
II they do misfortune is sure to follow
them in their married life. Then at the
end Of their retirement a wild festival is
held. and the marriage takes place
