WATSON COMES,

Chicago Banker Spends Day in Salt River Valley and Announces That Invest ment Opportunities Are Most Plentiful Here

William J Watson, banker and cap italist of Chicago en route to Los Angeles on business. spent yesterday in PnoenIN and departed last evening q convert to the belief that teaches that the Salt river valley is the garden spot of the world and the land of won derful opportunities That this sec tion is just entering upon d period of unprecedented development and that capital invested here at this time is certain to bring unusual returns was the firm conviction MT. Watson eX pressed to d reporter for The Repub lican.
 For many years connected with some of the leading financial institutions of Chicago and at present a director of the First National Bank of that city MT Watson is a man often consulted by the moneyed men of Illinois, with relation to investments. His judgment is considered sound, and justly so.
 This is not my first time in Arizona, but it is my first visit to Phoenix. and | must say that all that has been told me by friends in Chicago who are heavily interested here. isn't half that my one day here has revealed to me would remain here longer at this time but l have been called hurriedly to Los Angeles because of the illness of q relative.
 IT went through the orange groves of this section today, saw some of the great irrigation canals. looked upon green fields. saw homes being erected on the south side of the Salt river where but d short time ago were bar ren wastes, and was shown great herds of the fattest cattle imaginable. l smoked but one cigar during the entire day. because it seemed little short of proclamation to mix the balmy air with even the fumes of a good Havana. l tell you it was wonderful experience.
 When ! saw the handsome build ings the fine hotels the paved streets and the thousand and one other things which appeal to the visitor just ar rived the thought occurred to me. What is the occasion for all this2 There are practically no industries here to warrant such city building as this
 My trip over the valley gave me the answer The bounteous crops their rapid succession and certainty. the use of the land twelve months of the wear either for agricultural purposes or for l grazing. the early maturing of the or l anee yieId. removing the citrus indus | try from the menace of possible frost, Tall appealed to ue as more than justi . ! lying the progress of the city in the i center of this oasis
 That one of the results of his trip 1 here would be the inducement of cap italists to invest here was the prVdic- | tion of MT. Watson before leaving. T shall certainly advise any friends of mine whom I know to be desirous

THE REBUILDING OF DAYTON.

From the flood district of Ohio come wonderful
tales of the intense activity which marks the work
of resuscitation and rebuilding 1t is the story,
of course, that invariably follows great disaster in
any American community, and for that matter in
almost any healthy community in civilized country.
Until the civilization itself becomes decadent the
community power of rehabilitation is wonderful
beyond belief.
1t has been alleged if all the man-made improve
ments that mark the face of the earth destroyed
in a single moment of cataclysm, but the human race
left to take up tine work of restoration, gen.
Grafton would be able to build anew that which the
centuries have constructed and amassed. Doubtless
that is overstatement; but it is the experience Of
numberless cities that the work of great destruction
is presently followed by prosperity unknown before
the disaster.
At Dayton business is going forward in a
volume never dreamed by the town. Building and
cleaning and restoration giving employment,
while merchants find themselves selling huge bills
of goods to the people who lost their effects in the
flood. The town has veritabe boom in full blast
But it must not be assumed that there is such
an anomalous thing profitable destruction of
property. Dayton seems to be doing its own recon.
struction; but in truth Dayton is dependent the
vast fabric of community credit which absorbs the
SHOCK OF Sucn disaster, SpreaoS II over the Wnoe
country and even the whole world, provides funds
from the reserves of insurance companies to which
the entire people have contributed, purchases
securities that offered, loans money, sends
chandise to men whose credit is yet good though
their tangible assets may have disappeared. In truth
the case of Dayton is wonderful demonstration of
what wonderful thing is that cooperative institution
called credit. Dayton was town with good credit;
an nj / he
community at large is willing to take chance on it;
good many millions of dollars worth of chances.
But all that does not indicate at all that Daytons
boom, following its wreck, makes the disaster a
blessing San Francisco had boom in many lines
following its earthquake and fire; but the financial
resources of the nation had to stand the strain of
restoring the vast volume of dissipated property
values. There was one period when San Francisco
was booming along in its work of reconstruction
when it was alleged by competent authority tnat
the unfortunate effects of the San Francisco loss
could be easily observed in the financial district
of New York than in the burned-over section of the
California city,

IF JACKSON WERE DOING 1T.

1t is understood that the executive of California
will delay signing the alien land bill, passed in dis
elimination against the Japanese, until there shall be
opportunity to hear from President Wilson.
But President Wilson-if he we're minded to be
rough and ready with the announcement of wnat the
United States Government would do-might let Cali
forna hear from him in a way that would be exceed
ingly unpleasant if not alarming even to the Pacific
coast freeaters ready to offend Japan at any cost
We suppose Andrew Jackson, Democrat elevated
to the Chief Magistracy by the votes of uncompro-
missing believers in State rights would warn the
administrative government of California that if il
should attempt to enforce local law in contraven-
ton of the laws of the United States-for it is
decreed in the National Constitution tnat treaty
of the Federal Government is paramount to any
statute to any constitution of any Stae-he would
obtain from the Federal courts injunction restrain
ing anybody from putting such statutes into execu-
ton.
We suppose Andrew Jackson would warn the ad-
ministraton of California that it, hereupon anybody
did try to put that statute into execution, he Andrew
Jackson, with all the power of the United States
Government at his command would make short work
of anybody and everybody who would thereby be in
defiance of the national tribune and in resistance
against the Government of tine United States.
We suppose Andrew Jackson would do that. He
promised to do nothing less to defiant and rebellious
South Carolina when he gave the authorities of that
State the choice of correcting their ways of being
hanged to the nearest trees where he should find
them. And tnat seemed to settle the argument.
We haven't any idea that California would under
take deliberately to defy mandate of the United
States courts. We haven't any thought that if Cali
fornia did do such thing the Federal Adminstra-
ton would need to such fierce language Jack
son used in the more uncouth days of Old Hickorys
Administration. No doubt gentler language could
make it plain that the Federal Government of Presi-
dent Wilson's day would be no less sure than the
Federal Government of Andrew Jackson's day of
permitting State to defy the national authority.
For whatever there was in the principles roughly
announced by Old Hickory is all there today. Since
the days of Andrew Jackson it has all been confirmed
by the most terrible war the world has eve: known.
1t is not now really disputed as a fundamental
principle of this nation-by anybody.

law. The important thing is to be sure that the
provisions are so clearly stated that they will mean,
after they become law what Congress intends them

HELEN KELLER.

1t is useless of course to conjecture what the in
tellectual development of Helen Keller might have
been had she possessed all the normal faculties. Per-
haps-ands it is very widely entertained idea-if
she had had sight and hearing she would have devel-
oped only normal intellectual endowment Perhaps
growth in certain directions accentuated by rea-
son of its mpossbility in others. That phenom-
enon of which numerous illustrations have been OBJ
served
Miss Keller, however, certainly has the most
wonderfully normal mind that could possibly be de-
yeloped through abnormal circumstances and inhu-
ences. In her writings her addresses, her converse
ton there is nothing 20 suggest the extreme or the
unusual save as he mind is highly trained and whet-
ted as good minds are when circumstanced in the
natural way. Even her conception of what it must
be to and hear, she has attempted to describe
it, is marvelously accurate and understanding With
out doubt she is one of the most wonderful humans
tat ever lived, supreme demonstration of the pos
sble achievements of pure intellect Her ought
to be inspiration to every person equipped with all
the senses, as, indeed, it has been to millions Of
them.
