The Bird on the Bonnet

All honor to the of the Arizona Fedora birds and all who love birds which more nearly approach our idea of the angels The womens clubs have about making the wearing dead birds or parts of dead birds women's unpopular and unfashonable We suppose that many a if she had stopped think what cruelty preceded the perfection of the feathered of her bonnet she would have looked upon the aigrette as the badge of heartlessness and would have it away in horror. It with satisfaction that We learned lately that the aigrette is sometimes spuri ous, made of roosters' tails, but unfortunately of them genuine, each representing a murdered bird.
 For years men who would have throat for money have been employed in securing the worlds fields and groves slaughtering birds fors their feathers
 Nature has taken some measures of reprisal in the shape pests of destructive whose enemies the protectors the farm garden have been removed. The wing O the head bird bonnet has lent attractiveness the face under it. They have seemed give it hard and cruel lines.
 We glad that the club of the have taken the lead in this reform. The bird the hat is nearly so beautiful the bird under a differently decorated hat

Is This Political Emancipation?

It is stated that President Cunniff of the state advises the earliest possible endorsement of the resolution limiting the presidency the United States a single term of years Cunniff for sentimental reasons, and for the benefit the advertising of the baby state as an early bird would like have Arizona lead the procession of ratfying states
 We think it would be well for the legislature, first to ascertain the wishes d majority of the people before placing this state the such procession. If the people 'are desirous of having their hands tied this manner then the legislature ratify the six year term resolution If the people of Arizona desire the freedom of action in the election of presidents, then the legislature should not to restrict that freedom.
 In the matter of choosing presidents, we believe that the people may safely be trusted. People of progressive tendencies among whom in Arizona MT Cunniff has been foremost figure since the sitting of the constitutional convention two years ago. profess confidence in the intelligence and wisdom of the people; ability to rule them selves. Otherwise, why have the initiative the referendum and the recall? Are we to be trusted with these delicate instruments which would exceedingly dangerous in the hands of frightened people, and be denied use an in strument which a less intelligent people would be unlikely use unwseIy.
 It surely requires a higher degree of intei-
 
 tion of whose effect always be sure than it does to know whether president has given the country wise and good administration, not and whether would want to retain him term, rather than choose a who surround himself with and put effect policies, in the place those with which we well pleased
 Does MT Cunniff regard this a progressive step? Was it because it is a progressive step that the resolution which it is proposed to ratify supported in the senate by those eminent patters, MESSRS. PENROSE, BRANDEGEE BURNHAM, CATRON, CLARK of Wyoming KNUTE NELSON, DILLINGHAM;, DU POINT SHOOT, SUTHERLAND and GUGGENHEIM
 The legislatures support further urged be- cause, it is stated the limitation of the tenure of the presidency is a democratic in the face of the record, that be claimed for it. The author of the resolution is a democrat The gentlemen in the foregoing list of supporters not democrats, but standpat republicans of the most pronounced type. Of the forty-thre demo- crats in the senate only enty-eght voted for the resolution and that twenty-eight included the reactonary democratic members of that body more reactionary proposition has been presented to that body in years

It accounting not alone to the leg isature but the people of the whose infor- nation of the work of the administration hear say. The official message is enightening actual and dispels impressions which many had gained from uninfOrmed sources.
 The governors recommendations needed leg islation numerous, though ,dny subjects presented. Most them had been forecast views important gained publicity through interviews.
 He urges a reform the taxation system pointing favorite scheme of his but dwelling upon the essential equality plan assessments
 We think that people generally will agree with the governors ideas regarding prison reform, at the need of departure from the old methods of dealing convicts a whose restora- tion prison reform aims.

Why You Should Not Worry

The following very wise advice is taken from the February American Magazine.
 The worries of today the jokes of tomorrow Look your past life. What the incidents that you find funny now? Every of them was worry at the time it happened You laugh as you look back at past worries. Well, why laugh at the worries of today and tomorrow well?
 Worry doesn't get you anything anywhere There's worrying about things that are past Whatever has happened is right it would have happened. The whole great universe is in harmony. Don't be conceited. enough suppose that anything you have done is of harmony with the universe If it was, the whole world would soon get out of kilter.
 There's worrying, either, about what's going to happen. Nobody knows that Remember, too, the worst never happens And why worry now? You either help can't help what you worrying about. If you help it, go ahead and do it and stop worrying. If you can't help it, what good does worrying do?
 But" you say, T just can't help worrying" Sit down calmly and ask yourself what is the very worst result that your present trouble Look it in the face boldly Square your shoulders and say yourself: Well that is aIl I can face it. Lots things happened o millions of other people and they survived. I guess I can"
 Most worries trifIes. Probably George WashingtOn's wife to worry when he home late for dinner, but what difference does it make to either of them now?
 Get Worry Book. Put down in it today every thing that worries you Look at it a week from today. How many of the things that you worrying about will happen? The longer you keep worry book the shorter will grow the entries

 Somewhere in "A Tramp Abroad" Mark Twain describes a performance of King Lear before the ruler of of the German kingdoms. The auditor um was empty for the presence of the royal playgoer When the time for the the real which used represent the rain, pleased the king that he called for rain and more rain until the unhappy performers drenched to the skin Needless to say, the king mad. The story less true It had for a basis the history of the Bavarian king, who is still alive but kept in seclusion This mad king lover of grand opera and used to have Wag- ners works staged for himself alone though have knowledge that he made his stage carpen- real water for the storm in Die Wal kure." But the madness of Mark Twain's king shown in the rain which delused Lear the stage much in the fact that the king would not let onyone attend the play but himself. Even the most luxurious of multi-mlionaireS have thought of buying private performance of Tristan" for audience of person. Such performance would surely be taken a sign of eccentricity the part of the solitary auditor It goes without saying that anyone who wants to enjoy very beautiful thing and to keep it exclusive ly to himself, whether it be opera, picture, a wonderful landscape must be stark, staring mad. There is happiness to be got out of and the who tries deliberately get happi- in that way must later be locked up in lunatic asylum.

These characteristics of the subjects the mikado indicate that they people of high ideals and it is in nations proverbs that its ideals frequently find expression
 Many the national proverbs Japan collected and translated several years ago by Ita Masayoshi. and published under the title of Japanese Proverbs" It is from this entertaining little volume that the following taken:
 Patience the rope of advancement in all lines of life
 The ignorant are never defeated in any argu- ment
 It is more easy to evade the trouble which heaven sends than that which bring ourselves
 the water be pure. fish cannot live in it: if people be exactng, fellow beings cannot stand beside them.
 Where there are no birds bat will be king will radiance; if the thought is dark monday there will be demons.
 Be lenient your faults; keep your pardon for others.
 When the sense shame is lost advancement ceases.
 Genius hears individual and then compre- hends ten.
 Negligence looks the battle field then makes it's
 Seeking information is a moments shame; but to learn is surely lasting shame.
 A without jealousy like ball without elasticity.
 Unless blind and deaf, one cannot be impartial In trying to straighten her horns, the COW killed.

What Good is Life at Sixty?

Older say that would result in pensionng of while still in their forties and suggest sixty the proper age of retirement.

 What good is a mans life himself
 when he's sixty years old and over? Give

 Work till we're sixty you work

 cases and actually into the grave in all the
 other cases. I'd like get my in

 chance at it at all.
 Undoubtedly at sixty in the shadow of the grave, but fifty, forty, at fifteen, at six, and at All life goes in that shadow. It may at sixty mighty well and vastly to the satisfaction of the subject Charles should not be discouraged. If he lives wisely, drinks light, keeps his health, and manages to secrete little sense he may find life more profit able at sixty than ever he has found it yet, and that, whether he gets a pension If he will read Cicero Old Age he will get some good points, though sixty is by means old
