A STEP TOWARD PEACE.

Winston Spencer Churchill, first lord of the British Admiralty, has recommended that Great Britain and Germany stop build ing warships, cancel their pro- grams of construction for 1914 and stand pat" with their pres ent armament, looks tn economy if not fo peace. Great Britain now has 36 dreadnoughts to Germany's B. and of submarines 83 to Germany's 26.
 He characterized as insensate folly the present struggle for big ger. faster and more powerful ma val equipment. Each year dread noughts and guns are more pow erful than before. They not on ly surpasS anything that has been turned out by a possible com petitOr. but render obsolete the ships in Ihrir "N navy that have preceded them. The struggle is a persistent .ceasrleSs and remOrse- less waste of hundreds of mil lions of dollars. "Every year." Mr. Churchill explained. "all the naval powers are making not on- ly the fleets of their rivals. but their own fleet. obsolete without adding to their actual relative strength or security. Could any process be more stupid?'
 The adoption of MT. Church ills suggestion could do no harm and it might awaken the nations to a realization of the tremendous cost of their rivalry in the naval expansion line, cost that is be- coming hurdensome upon the tax payers. The suggestion is re- spectfully referred to Kaiser Will helm.

THE ALLiEs' ADVANTAGE.

The Balkan allies have shown that they are skilled diplomats, as well as good fighters in the field They have practically re- fused to give any heed to the ad- vice and orders of the European powers, relating to the peace terms for Turkey.
 The allies have a distinct ad- vantage in this situation. They know that the powers, while os- densibly working in harmony, are 4orn by jealousy and greed and would probably find it impossible 10 enforce any of their orders. The allies are naturally making the most of this knowledge. Fur key has gained nothing by ap- pealing to the powers and adopt ing dilatory tactics.

LYING.

By George Matthew Adams.
 Lying is the most despicable of all Crimes. The Liar is the King of Criminals. The last clean spot to d mans raiment turns Crimson when he takes up the Business of Lying.
 Truth is the Highest Thing a man can keep.
 The Heart of an honest man melts away almost unto Death in the presence of the Liar. The very mercy of a kind God blushes with bowed head in Sadness at the sight and sound of the man who plies his Lies. ScUrned by SOci- cty, the very Soul of the Liar re- volts at the carrying about of Bones and Flesh so vile.
 Truth is the Highest Thing a man can keep.
 A few days ago a young man, large of Mind and Future, left his employment in Canada with Lie upon his lips. Coming into the Secthing whirl of the Great New York he sought his former friends. Immediately he began to hand out his stock of Lies. More abominably than any aban- doned thief he slyly exchanged his Lies for FavOrs and for Gold. Then nervously yet quietly sneak ing away under cover of his Lies, his Soul now naked of Honor and Character, he sought refuge un- der his Own-made Tent of Lies. There self-conNicted he now awaits Judgment.
 Truth is the Highest Thing a man can keep.
 Mark Twain spoke more than humor when he said: "When Tn doubt speak the truth" Even the Devil hates Liar--one of his own children. And Nature itself closes it's eyes in shame as the Liar passes by.
 Truth is the Highest Thing a man can keep.
 Ynu--Young Man. Young Wo- man, Business Builder, Doer of ThingS--WhOeVer you are, and in whatever groove you work your way--Listen. Starvc. die, rather than Lie. Flee from the pres ence of a Lie as from the Plague. Grasp the Clean. Strong hand of Truth and follow in it's path 1 through the livelong hours of ev- cry single passing day. Remrm- herring that

how this great loss could be avoided the cost of living, now so great, should be appreciably reduced, as the extent of New York's losses is but an index of the total losses from these causes throughout the country.'
 Such waste of material that was good to begin with is little short of criminal. Nobody gains anything by it in the end, and the public loses.
 What can bc done to prevent this loss? Dr. Lederle suggests that were it possible to estimate the amount of certain fruits and vegetables that flood the markets at times, resulting in. lack of demand, and preserve this Sur- plus in cans OF jars near the points of shipment. a considerable economic gain would follow, as refrigeration would have ten dency to decrease loss. In such an event, he says, the establish- ment of some central board of control that could regulate the quantities of material to bc ship ped to cities at any one time would perhaps be an aid.
 Whatever the remedy to be ap- piled, we ought to be beyond such economic sins by this time. They are neither civilized nor sensible.

WITH
 THE RAILROAD

Risbee auto for hire men are going. to compete with the railroad for bus mess. They cannot go the whole route with the steam line in the matter of meeting passenger rates but they do see one or two points open for entry and these they have decided to seige.
 The principal point to which they will strive for business is competition with the railroad. t was announced yesterday by H. Haythornewhite. is Tombstone. The railroad rate to the county seat can he met by the auto n,obile men and for the round trip they have decided on a flat charge of s5. The railroad fare exceeds this sum 8 little.
 We can do it for the reason that while the railroad is rumbling over a lot of roundabout mileage to reach Tombstone said HaythoTneYhite yes teTday." We can take the direct cut through Tombstone canyon and land in the county seat on much less nila age In the matter of tune. We can much more than compete with the rail. road for we do it iu about half that required by the train, and also remove the inconvenience of changing cars"
 Fort HIeichuca ,and Huachuca points also permit of automobile men competing with the railroad for bust ness and are included in the list. As there is g great deal of traffic to Tomb stone at all times of the year and Huachuca points particularly during the summer. the automobile men are anticipating that they will have ire gUent runs to make under the neW price schedule, which has the further advantage of restricting time Of de
 rarture to no particular hour, the auto men making the trip whenever called upon. while the train follows schedule.
