Was There a Victorv2

Every once in awhile, Arizona democratic news papers, for the revival of dropping spirits of the faithful and long-suffering, and to remind the federal office holders that they are guilty from day day, forcibIe entry and detafner announce that the democratic dinner bell to ring; that from private but thoroughly reliable sources the information has President Wilson is about abandon his Fabian policy and to put the offices where they belong into the hands of the who whooped it up last year for the democratic ticket
 We would not blacken the reliability of this secret information with aspersion but so far in the distribution of offices, there been no sign that the mind of the president dwelt upon the subject of political rewards We have been struck by late utterance by the president which seems to indicate that does believe that there are any political anybody
 To suppress the vaingIoriousness of democrats over the result of the election November he reminded them that not a democratic victory He said it only a failure of large majority of the voters of country to agree upon one of two other candidates for presidency Though Mr. Wilson did not put his conclusion classic phrase, his meaning the democratic party not many after all
 We are confronted by the further alarming fact that the only federal appointment made in Arizona since March was that of a republican who was already installed at the public crib To do him further honor Ossa piled upon PeIion while the elevations which the democratic aspirants were raised represented by depressons in the poIi- tical surface as deep they n dark days republican rule
 The federal appointment of which we are speaking was not much of appointment but indicated characteristic, presidential disregard of those who had borne the burden heat of the day Complaint had been the bureau of Indian affairs that teacher on a small reservation east of Phoenix was pernciously active in the matter of religion She was alleged to be storing the aboriginal mind with the doctrines of certain sect to the exclusion of the teachings of other sects
 The government does not countenance this sort of theological discrimination The teacher was suspended and referee appointed to coIlate the facts. Who named for this delicate office but Surveyor General Ingalls, who was already busiy engaged in drawing money from the federal treasury?
 Here was chance to recognize some com- petent and waiting democrat but was not en- braced. Surely there Arizona, yes right here in Phoenix, many democrats who could give Captain Ingalls, cards spades in any contest involving a familiarity with religion. He knows no more about religion.

 "The nOn-swimmer, fearing the water very Naturally tenses his muscles he struggles to keep his head above the water until he is as hard as a rock and like rock he sinks; whereas the swim having no reaxes his muscles, and hence becomes buoyant The explanation is simple physical Tense taut muscles increase the specific gravity of the body and make it sink in water; loose relaxed muscles (given ordinary supply of air in the lungs) will make the body

Athletics and Alcohol

The tendency O the country toward athletics is the damaging blow the saloon that it has suffered in short tme The youth of the country are turning toward athletics in in- creasng shoals they all learning that they be athletes and patronize saloons. Tom Sharkey, former heavy weight prize fighter and New York saloon keeper, has observed the drift away from the saloons but does de- plore it. He says.
 The thing which is doing the most damage to the liquor trade is schoolboy athletes. Schoolboys everywhere in America being brought up be athletes. Every schoolboy has training ideas hammered into him constantly. He is taught that he cannot be an athlete and drink or smoke and he leaves tobacco and alcohol alone Then he into habit and when he is the habit sticks In the old days the university grad to come to town after 9 big football baseball game and drink everything in sight They do it any more, because the universities full of this athletic idea, and the undergraduates have for chap who drinks whisky and gets of condition.
 |Schoolboy athletes costing lot of money every day, I just the It is going make this nation the healthiest earth I would like to see every boy in New York athlete, who has for tobacco whisky. If drink something and then. all right I would vote for this schoolboy ath- 1etic business"
 Thus athletics is doing what all the preaching could not do "Ine drun<ardS grave the misery that follows the use of alcohol horrible ample" all little to the youth of bounding spirits His efficiency athete great deal to him and he understands that he cannot be efficient and a little bit of whisky a little tobacco

Steel Trust Forced to Show
It's Hand in Regard to the
National Tube Works and
Harbor Problem by City
Stirring UP Question.

The activity of the city of Gary in
endeavoring to procure a public har-
Dor In addition to the private one own
ed by the steel corporation today
ceived a check following the welcome
news given out by a general official
of the steel corporation to the effect
that the corporation wants the Gary
Harbor site for the use of the National
Tube Works, subsidiary. and that it
is intended to have part of the works
in operation within the next two years.
While it has been known all along
that the tube works is to be located
on the east side of the Gary steel
works and the present harbor slip the
activity of the city authorities in Gary
IL surveying a second harbor site fore
ed the corporation to show its hand.
Site For Gigantic Industry.
1t was understood that the tube works
would line its blast furnaces on the
side of the present slip, thereby facing
the present and the proposed 4 addi-
tional blast furnices of the Illinois
stel company.
However, It now develops that the
Illinois Steel company wishes to use
the east dock of the present harbor
slip for future development and that
the tube works contemplates the har-
Dor slip, selected by the Gary city en-
gineer for its own use Twelve bias
furnaces. open hearth furnaces, and
tube mills employing from 10000 TO
10000 men are contemplated by the
tube company. At its McKeesport
plant the tube company has II 900 men
at work. 1t. has s blast furnaces
there.
New Angle Upsets Plans.
In reality a tube works is nothing
more than gigantic steel works
where but one finished product is made

The new angle to the situation will
cause a material change in the plans
for the development of Garys public
