MAKE OUR OWN ARMOR PLATE
In That Way Government viii Escape
ExtOrtion Of Steel Trust.

TIC the Editor:-Mr. Secretary Dan
.iels is to be congratulated for even
suggesting that we make our WI
.armOr plate. II he did nothing more
than that he will have distinguished
himself above his fellows.
The arner plate makers are doing
the sensible thing, from their point Of
view. They agree on a price at which
they can make a handsome profit
and then make the bids. They are
in business to make profit. They did
not erect their foundfies to furnish
us with arIaor plate for our Warships,
but they erected them to make
profit. PROFIT is their Alpha and
Omega. They had as soon furnish
own country. Patriotism, gets up
and gifts" when profits are interfered
with.
The government could give employ
ment to the same men hat are now
employed by the armOr plate MAX
ers. The only people h a would be
disturbed are the proft-makers, and
fthey are parasites.
4ne way OF increasing profits is to
g7Ve an inferior or defective article
at the same price as a good article.
The armor plate makers have GER
tainly once, and possibly oftener, been
guilty of doing that very thing. h
Canny Andy's concern was so proven
| once
The private makers Of munitions OF
war are not above attempting to de-
bauch the government inspectors to
pass inferior material for good. The
private makers Of war material are
not above fomenting strife amongst
the nations to make profits. The men
we educate and train for far at West
Point and Annapolis could manage
war material
Of war material III Germany have
been substituting newspapers in both
France and Germany to stir up bad
feeling between these countries, and
that they a debauched officials in
the German War department to ge
information.
Are our makers Of war material
possessed Of a higher I'd OF honor
and sense Of morals? AS long as bust
ness is done for profit there will be
war and rumOrs Of war. The end OF
war will come when the profit system
is wiped eff the face Of the earth,
Then swords will b. beaten into
Iplow-shares and spears into prunine
hooks" and not before; all preach
Iment to the contrary Notwithstanding
Let the nations make their owr
munitions Of war. That will heir
forward the cause of the Prince O.
Peace.
1t is to be hoped that Josephus !,
q Daniel come to judgment.

Probably acidity tn the soil. Glover

VIII not thrive in an acid soil. The
remedy Is to lime the soil. For your

bAktef than The old red clover, for that
often fails during tho long summers,
while the crimson clover is purely q
winter plant, and car be used in q

they were given when no large clrcum- stance of our industrial development was what it is today. Our task is to square them with the actual facts. The escape from suffering from the facts and the sooner our men of business will be free to thrive by the law of nature Ghe nature of free buSneSS) instead of by the law of legislation and artifi- cial arrangement.
 We have seen tariff legislation wan der very far afield in our day-very far indeed from the field in which our prosperity might have had a normal growth and stimulation. No one who looks the facts Squarely in the face or knows anything that lies beneath the surface of action can fail to perceive the principles upon which recent tariff legislation has been based We long ago passed beyond the modest notion of protecting" the industries of the country and moved boldly forward to the idea that they were entitled to the direct patronage of the government. For a long time-a time so long that the men now active in public policy hardly remember the conditions that preceded tive have sought in our tariff schedules to give each group of manufacturers or producers what they themselves thought that they needed in

order to maintain a practically eN- elusive market as against the rest of the world Consciously or unconscious ly, we have built up a set of privileges and exemptions from competition be- hind which it was easy by any, even the crudest, forms of combination to organize monopoly: until at last noth- ing is normal, nothing is obliged to stand the tests of efficiency and econ Omy, in our world of big business, but everything thrives by concerted ar rangement. Only new principles Of action will save us from final hard specialization of monopoly and a com plete loss of the influences that quicken enterprise and keep independent ener- gy alive.
 It is plain what those principles must be We must abolish everything that bears even the semblance of privilege or of any kind of artificial advantage, and put our business men and produc- CTS under the stimulation of constant necessity to be efficient. economical, and enterprising, masters of competi- tive supremacy, better workers and merchants than any in the world. Aside from the duties laid upon articles which We do not, and probably can not, pro- ducc, therefore, and the duties laid upon luxuries and merely for the sake of the revenues they yield, the object of the tariff duties henceforth laid must be effective competition, the whetting of American wits by contest with the wits of the rest of the world.
 It would be unwise to move toward this end headlOng,. with reckless haste, or with strokes that cut at the very roots of what has grown up amongst us by long process and at our own in vitation. It does not alter thing to upset it and break it and deprive it of a chance to change. It destroys it. We must make changes in our fiscal laws, in our fiscal system, whose object is development, a more free and whole some development, not revolution or upset or confusion. We must build up trade, especially foreign trade. We need the outlet and the enlarged field

of energy more than we ever did before. We must build uEt industry as well. and must adopt freedom in the place of artificial stimulation only so far as it will build, net pull down. In dealing with the tariff the method by which this may be done will be a matter of judgment, exercised item by item. TO some not accustomed to the excite mentS and responsibilities of greater freedom our methods may in some re- spects and at some points seem heroic, but remedies may be heroic and yet be remedies It is our business to make sure that they are genuine remedies. Our object is clear. If our motive is above just challenge and only an oc- casional error of judgment is charge able against us, we shall be fortunate We are called upon to render the country a great service and more mat ters than one. Our responsibility should be met and our methods should be thorough, as thorough as moderate and well considered, based upon the facts as they are, and not worked out as if we were beginners. We are to deal with the facts of our own day. with the facts of no other, and to make laws which square with those facts. It is best indeed it is necessary, to begin with the tariff I will urge nothing upon you now at the opening of your session which can obscure that first object or divert our energies from that clearly defined duty. At later time l will take the liberty of calling your attention to reforms which should press close upon the heels of the tariff changes, if not accompanying them, of which the chief is the reform of our banking and currency laws: but just now l refrain. For the present, I put these matters on one side and think only of this one thing-of the changes in our fiscal system which may best serve to open once more the free chan nels of prosperity to a great people whom we would serve to the utmost and throughout both rank and file.

The Empress

The little lady in the blue satin pantaloons who halls from the land of the czar is pretty as a posey, sings like a siren, dances like a demon and is almost as charming as her smiling partner who is as blond as she is dark The Russian dance with it's peculiar steps and gesticu- lation is accompanied by a weird native melody The odd pastures of the performers and the shrill cries with which they interpolate their movements, make a most unusual and inviting entertainment. The Hordes win great applause in their act though the instrumental solo seems a bit lCng.
 Greno and Platt have one of the best juggling and slack wire acts seen at the Empress this season. The act is beautifully balanced, both men being excellent performers and many of the tricks appear to be original.

HARRY KNIGHT LANDS

 Engineering Some Horse Deals.

If Harry Knight had been all that he claimed to be, J. C. Adams, Dr R W. Craig. H. A Diehl, Shirley Christy and number of other admirers and owners Of high class driving horses. would have closed scme very attrac- tive deals for the sale of some of, their best stock. As it turned out yesterday, Knight, whose name may be Clifford W. Bevington, seemingly misrepresented himself when he said he was the agent of a big Chicago horse buying and sales concern, seek ing to purchase a carlot of the best driving horses to be found in the Salt River valley. His cashing of two checks at the Hotel Adams, one for twenty-five dollars and another for fifteen dollars. followed by infor- nation from the Phoenix National bank, whose check blanks he used that the young man had no funds there, brought about his inevitable downfall
 And the really important part of the affair is that he came pretty near getting away. But for the deduc- tive ability of Manager Gary Schuler of the Hotel Adams the man might now be far away that he would have never been heard of again in Phoenix. But with the aid of Police man Egly, Schuler located his man in Tempe yesterday afternoon just as he was about to board a train bound for Maricopa
