WHY EDITORS EDIT

The following humorous article was written by George Fitch, a former newspaper man who gave up his work with newspapers for more profitable employment. Fitch found his more profitable employment in writing fun ny things that tickled the people into dropping great wads of money into his money bags.
 "An editor is tired, nervous man who decides what shall go into a news poper and explains why 1t got in after ward.
 "The editor works upstairs at an antique desk entirely surrounded by newspapers, and produces the results which enable the business manager to sit downstairs in a room fitted with mahogany furniture and Persian rug and to respond to the toasts at great banquets in solemn state and a dress suit.
 '1t is the editors duty to feel the pulse of the world and hold the stetho- scope to business; to assist at the birth of history, translaee the past to refute the preent and arrange the future; to illume ignorance, reward merit, put the spotlight on villiany and the pulmotor on reform; to make statesmen and dessicate demagOgues, to elect presidents, crown heroes and secure bigger salaries for baseball pitchers; to act as an alarm clock for public opinion, as an elevator for pub lie candidates, and as goat for every man who says something in careless moment and who repents later by de claring that he was misquoted; to embalm the truth, annihilate error, i, to bring the national tears for great misfortunes and the national laugh at great foolishness.
 For doing this some editors get as much as s200 a month.
 "An editor can lower a tariff, head off war, harness the wrath of the whole people or raise million dollars for flood sufferers.
 And some editors are so powerful that they can raise their own salaries $10 a week."

SPLIT SKIRT TOD MUCH
 FOR ARIZONA JUSTICE
The Fl Paso Herald says:

That diaphanus show girl who per ambulated the streets of Tucson few days ago and was arrested for inde- cent exposure, soon had the learned justice presiding in the case going when it came to deciding whether what was revealed by the filmy tex ture of the garment was pink tights or merely tight pink. It was the matter of drawing a distinction that was too fine for the learned justice.
 The manager of the show which features the young woman in the dis play of her personal charms, declartd that his purpose in having the afore- said young woman walk the streets clad principally in a happy smile, was to show the people of Tucson and Ari- zona the very latest style.
 That is was not style that came within the view of the rubber-necks of Tucson was insisted upon by the chief of police, who declared the ex- hibition was positively indecent.
 "As this is the first case of the kind to come before me, shall dismiss ltt, remarked the learned justice. But if there are any more show girls in this city who are under the impression that they have to do the Missouri act as reflection of style in Tucson shall feel obliged to inflict the full penalty of the law
 It was thus that the first X-ray gown was received in the gay city of Tucson, and it is an incident that is causing more talk than the coming circus. And the manager of tine show is delighted with the advertising ef- fect-having succeeded in working even the Associated Press to com plete frazzle.

The Republicans and Pro- gressives have begun to cherish pie bian hatred for the secret caucus, which in former Republican times had the support of practically every man who is now opposing it, as well as the opposition of most of the men wno now are it's warmest supporters.

Yuma, Arizona, Sept. 13, '13.
 Yuma county is about to face very important crisis. Important on account of it's economic bearing on the future, and doubly important in that when the step is once taken the evil situation cannot be undone except by paying the full bill.
 I am the recipient of letter from the government stating that l have been selected one of six farmers to answer several important questions relative to conditions in our midst. This is for the purpose of obtaining information that will warrant the gov ernment to recommend cheap loans on our landed property.
 No argument is necessary to con vince anyone of fair judgment that we should not cucumber ourselves with a bond issue that would cloud our title so that we cannot avail our selves of this offer now close at hand It is we'll known that the government cannot do business except on the best of security. Hence, any cloud, how ever small, will be much to our disad vantage and by all means we should avoid it.

SHADOW SKIRT DON'T
 G0, EVEN ON THE MEN

TUCSON, Sept. Hilary Hamil tons friends are still chuckling over his predicament of Sunday night wher Patrolman Cullen misunderstood a masuuerade and took him to the DO lice station for an investigation. He was booked as violating ordinance A, Section 1, which is for general dis turbance of the peace, but it's all right now. All is forgiven. Everything IS understood. He will not have to ap- pear.
 Hamilton, who has a delicate voice and a sweet face, dressed as a chorus girl to entertain his friends. He was promenading the platform of the Sou thern Pacific station in red tissue pa per skirts and red tights when Patrol man Cullen sighted him.
 The "burro" had come in and Ham ilton thought that a private exhibition would be safe.
 "But, really, I'm not girl" he pro tested, when Cullen told him to come along.
 'Im not so sure of that" replied Cullen. '1'm inclined to think you are, and these here shadow skirts do not go any more."
 Hamilton is a messenger in the su perintendent's office.

 Pork Barrel Legislation
 The conviction has settled itself upon congress that the manner in which federal buildings are Iolad out is entirely wrong, but the congress men nevertheless seek to benefit from the system upon every occasion.
 Representative Sharp of Ohio ex presses the belief that no fede:a building should be constructed in any town in which the receipts of tho post office of that town were less thar $5O, ,OO0 a year, and with at least 10000 | Inhabitants. It seems to be agalns' the rule to make more than one lrpru priation to a congressional district, nc matter what the condition might bt justifying a different course, and one of the towns that has suffered b! this unwritten code is Everett, Wash ington, which has grown in ten year! from a place of 1000 to 26,OOO people and is unable to secure a proper gov ernment building, whereas other vii lages of 2,O0O inhabitants have heeI beneficiaries of the pork barrel legis lation.
