Sir George Birdwood, M. D., noted

Senator Works and the Newspapers

In his speech in support of his bill, making unlawful publish details accidents and crimes in the District of Columbia, Senator Works of California attacked the general newspaper prac- of the country which he believed seri- ously affect the newspaper themselves than their readers. He would them selves. He would lift them out of the atmosphere of crime and immortality which they have chosen. He would set them nobler task than that of tracing down and sending their fellow the details of misconduct of every kind
 Their minds filled with thoughts morality, crime and human tragedy, misfortune and misery he says Continues the senator: MT. President, what life this is for any lead. It makes one shudder think about it. And most of the men who instrumental this wholesale poisoning of the minds people are young men, often mere boys. It is appalling to think of such school of vice, falsehood, violation of the sacred rights of others. but be de- grading in the utmost degree No such atmosphere suffer from it's poi sonous impurities. He only suffers it himself but he is constantly insulting the minds others
 Newspaper feel kindly toward the sen- ator for his wel-meant efforts their behalf the interest he feels them, his solictude their moral Well-beng but them resent being placed in a category in which really very few belong.
 Newspaper men rule do find pleasure in writing stories tragedy anymore than a large number people not them with pleasure but who would strongly criticize as unenergetic newspaper which did place be- fore them these unpaatabe morseIs to take leave alone.
 The average newspaper wiShees there no such things crimes, accidents misery. He wishes the readers would those things; that he could deal only pleasant helpful news But he cannot make the order and he not control the taastes his readers. Laws would be equally poweress in the O a task.
 There is such thing indecent The line between decency and ndecency a and vague but every day it is a little narrower little clearly defined was the day before. The newspapers responding to the improved taste of the public dare print things printed a few years ago; that is general newspapers dare The average newspaper keeps safely the side of decency. It does not approach closely the line It mingIes with the news that Senator Works considers reprehensble, news of the kind the senator approves. It makes a nice balance of it and, instead of perverting the public taste it is really improving those who prefer trflng to solid substantial We all of getting little better every day. Laws will not expedite matters that the breath would be taken away by rapidty motion onward upward.

The Departing Legislature

The first Arizona state legislature has closed the fourth session within more than a year. We do not know what contingency may be dis covered for it's reassembling, but will probably made for the conduct the government until the second legislature shall be called together in Janu- ary, 1915
 The legislature has been subjected to a great deal of criticism, first, because of it's time con- suning procedure and, because of the almost constant pickering that going on between the house and the and between a faction of the house and the executive department. While it can not be conceded that practically eight months necessary for the accomplishment what has been done, the first legislature had a much more tedious task than any of it's successors will have
 As to the pickering which was the chief cause of the waste of time beginning of that may be traced back to the days immediately preceding the organization, more than a year The stunned a big brother attitude toward lower house which was pretty evenly bitterly divided in a speakership contest. The took part in 1t and was influential having it settled against slight majority which gradually drew to itself other members who had not been closely allied with the triumphant faction. The subsequent treatment was somewhat cavalier and the breach widened and the state suffered
 result the foolish quarreIing has been q great waste of the public money and time The legislature should have accom- plished in five weeks what has occupied nearly three and half months worse than even this waste of time money, spent by the factions, trying put each other into the hole the engendered prejudice that has pre- vented the enactment of legislation we should have had, though, unfortunately has not operated to prevent some have had.
 But looking the completed work of the leglsiature we cannot find much to criticize time Our statutes contain fewer freak laws than those of most of the other states.

Shoot in the tariff debate Friday, that England, France and Geermany rejoicing the Underwood tariff bill, that alone would be reason why the bill should not become In all times past this country, advocates of a monopostic tariff have sought to enthuse their countrymen, and have eraly succeeded by telling them that foreign coun- tries praying that tariff wall might be erected; by trying make them believe that what was bad for foreign countries necessarily be good for all Americans. The most powerful argu- ment to the American citizen in favor of reasonably high tariff that England would fer We remembered Lexington and Bunker Hill and gaiIy consented to the boosting of the tariff
 We have learned that this is the best way to legislate tariff. We should make a scien- tific study of conditions the tariff, and in the light we have learned We should consider the effect, upon England upon ourselves, of the proposed tariff. We might have a tariff so high that not a foreign article O commerce could be brought into this country That would be bad thing for England and a worse one for that is, for all of except monopolists under the protection of the tariff wall. England would noturalIy that kind of a tariff removed and would find it advantage to have it removed
 So, that there may be a situation in which our interests would lie with foreign rather than with monopolists Of course there could be no situation in which interests would be identical with those of any foreign country It would be to their interest have free trade in America That would to our serious disad- vantage. Some of industries would be crippled just the domestic sugar and the live stock in- duStrles Will be If the Underwood bill should pass uhaInehded and We would be left at the mercy of foreigners and the sugar trust.
 What we want, regardless of MT. Smoot hand and the free traders the other, is that our tariff shall be nicely adjusted that we will be free from both foreign and domestic monopoies. What England, France and Germany want in the way of American tariff legislation is not to be con sidered in way another.
