of Utopia. If city councils and poli- ticians could see votes in libary carts to the back roads, the funds would come quickly enough. But an ap- propriation for grading up new streets for the real estate specula- tors promises to yield more tangible returns.
 The parcel post applied to books, however, would bring the farm home into close touch with the library and the book store. The present third class rate is a tax on the intelligence and education of the country dis tricts.
 In the original parcel post orders, the requirement. that certain classes of printed matter go as third class at the eight cents pound rate, was a gross injustice. The bundle of programs sent by the printer to the managers of entertainments, the booklets for the business man, the printed notices for church or lodge, are essential elements in the ad- vancement of the country districts, but were excluded from the parcel post A new order just. out from headquarters, the terms of which are vague and will be variously inter preted, may make needed modified tions in the original classification of the printers products. But this order leaves books paying the high rate.

Mir. Wilson, elected as Demo crat, completes a circle including both great parties in the vital work of hewing to now weli-dehned line along which the chips may fall where they may. We know. now, the purpose of the law. We know how it can be administered to serve that purpose We know of the pow CT lodged in the administrative branches of government for making the law serve the ends of its ere ation. It is reassuring to know that the man upon whom the responsi- bility of the administrative branch must soon fall has such a clear conception both of his duties and his powers. Beyond that, it is even more reassuring to know that, should obstruction and technicality seek further to subvert and nullify the law and succeed to the point of making the laws amendment neces- sary, party lines will again disappear in dealing with what never has been a. party question, no matter how loudly demagogues have thundered to the contrary.

IF AT FIRST YOU DON'T SUCCEED TRY AGAIN
 (From Sundays Daily.)

Notwithstanding there arc iron clad rules to be observed in admit ting certain classes of aliens to cit izenship, the restrictions imposed do not seem to distress Chester Otoy, a Japanses resident of many years. who persists in getting into the country with all the rights of native born, filing again as he did yesterday his declaration to be ad- mitted.
 Otoy in the past has made many efforts to become a citizen, and as often has he failed. Advices from Washington during the week are to take his declaration of intention, but there is no assurance forthcoming that favorable official action will fol- low. Otoy is running billiard hall on Goodwin street, and his applica- ton is the first to be recorded from the ranks of the Japanese in this city.

THE NEWSPAPERS WORK.

The governor of New York has an opportunity to see and talk with more newspaper men than any other man in the country except the presi- dent of the United States New York is quite sizable state and has published within its borders a large number of rather influential newspapers. Governor Suizer evi- dently appreciates the privilege. Some days ago when he was busy with a number of politicians, the newspaper men filed into his office. It was their regular hour for seeing him Sometimes other governors, in similar circumstances, made the press men wait Governor Sulzer. on the contrary, dismissed the poli- ticians and began a heart-to-heart talk with the reporters.
 The politicians complained that the governor was playing to the galleries, but Governor Sulzer's an- swer was adequate. He said that newspaper men were really part of the government. They represented the people in a most important way.
 The position taken by the gov ernor was really the right one. The voters of the state depend upon the newspapers for their information re- garding public affairs. It is the busi- ness of the newspapers to steer them right, at least to give them the facts upon which they can base judgment
 Politicians have a habit of want ing to do things without knowledge of the voters, then place their own constructions on their actions, and through party organization have those constructions accepted as best.
 There was a time when that sort of thing would work, but it won't any more. There was a time when the party organ could influence votes, but now it is powerless. The only newspaper that has influence is one that gives facts accurately and independentIy-hews to the line, lets the chips fall where they may. ItI will win, regardless of the dark lantern work and crooked polite ians.

SOLDIER SLEEPS
 THE SLEEP OF DEATH
(From Sundays Daily.)

Another pioneer Arizonan has an swered the summons and passes to the unknown, in George L. White, of the Agua Fria Valley.
 His death occurred in this city yesterday morning after an illness of only three days, although he had been in failing health for several months. This splendid citizen and old-time soldier of the Civil War, enjoyed the good will of many Up right in his dealings with all, and with a personality that made him hosts of friends his passing away will occasion sorrow as well as re- gret that his life of unselfishness has ended
 MT. White had been a resident Of this county for over thirty-6ve years and followed many vacations, but principally that of farmer He passed through the Civil War as a valiant soldier on the Union side, and in his possession was a record that attests to the courageous man. ner in which he fulfilled his duty while on the firing line. He was native of Pennsylvania, and aged 72 years. The body is at Ruffner's and will be taken to Dewey on Mon day, where the funeral will. take. place later that day.

This may seem a small matter, merely a change of dress, but to the Chinamen the queue was something more than that It distinguished him from all other residents and 1t sym bolized his subjection to obsolete traditions In hundreds of other ways the local Chinese are proving that they are no longer behind the times.
 The nation which can accomplish what the Chinese republic has ac- complished in such a brief space of time is bound to endure and to pros per. Its friendship will be worth much to the United States and the quicker China is recognized under its new government the more cordial the future relations between the gov ernments will become It will not only be commercially profitable but in keeping with the fitness of things for the United States to recognize China at an early date. In this dollar diplomacy" backs sentiment and fairness.

THE PARCEL POST AND
 BOOKS.

The fact that books must still be mailed as third class rates, cent for every two ounces, or eight cents pound, is one of the oddities of the new parcel post.
 With books admitted to the parcel post, a fae extension of library work would be possible. Town and city libraries could distribute books at very low rates within the 50 mile zone, to the lonely farm houses along the cross roads.
 Enthusiastic workers in the large city libraries have always cherished the dream, that if the country could not come to the library, the library should be taken to the countrymen. Their theory of doing it was to send carts, with books all along the country roads, so that the farmers and farmers wives could choose their story books and works of solid reading as they would buy out of the tail of a bake-cart.
 Unfortunately, the cash is never available for these pretty pictures

SEES THE OPEN WAY.

The president elect, speaking at Chicago, said nothing more than the Federal Supreme Court has said re- peatedly of late in saying of big business that no business can be called too big until it is shown to be a result, not of free competition, but of oppressive combination and a despotic use of financial power. This IS the gist of his opinion, and it is an opinion reached by clear and unprejudiced thinking long ago. Moreover, it is the purport of ser ies of decisions handed down from our highest judicial seat in success sive interpretations of the Sherman law, invoked against manifestations of big business claimed to be destruc tive of competition and in restraint of trade and commerce. The Sher- man law is now fully interpreted to mean what Mir. Wilson rightly says the people mean, which is nothing more or less than that aggregated capital, combined, in any line of in dustry, shall not be suffered te crush competition by the mere weight of greater financial resourc- es and interlocking directorates con meeting it with transportation lines and banking institutions.
 An organization which, under the spur of untrammeled competition, develops managerial capacity for the making of economies in time and expenditure, for the develop ment of better methods of salesman ship, for the conservation of its own resources and for reaching speedier results in distribution with out relating or violation of any ex- isting law, will be entitled to all it can get in its line of trade. An- ericans are yet, we believe, far from the point of placing an arbitrary limitation upon energy and capacity. There is no party question involved in this matter. The Sherman law was drawn by one of the greatest of Republicans. It was supported in Congress by Democrats and Re- publicans alike, and was signed by Republican president. Drawing the line further. for the purposes of the argument, it can be said that the majority of the Supreme Court which has been exhaustively inter preting the law along this broad line are Republicans.
