4 Damaging Dispatch

The just indignation Of the Arizona Star has been aroused ny the publication by the Fl Pasc Times of q special dispatch from Tucson describing anti Mexican demonstration there last Monday. The story lost of it's luridness in the flaming head lines of the Times: Race War in Tucson Police Reserves Called Out" situation So Grave That City Council Holds Special Night Session and In creases Police Force"
 The real trouble at Tucson have sisted of the discontinue of foolish and perhaps, drunken Huersta by some Americans who resented his loud ~vivas' dictator with whom the nation had just engaged in There incident but apparently unrelated strike by some Mexican laborers employed in paving work, instigated by L W. w agitators There prob ably disorder in Tucson that day than might have been witnessed in any city of similar size in the United States
 Race War" has an ugly sound for it conveys the impression that a good many people filled with racial hatred engaged in it. armed with weapons more or less deadly. A correspondent may greatly damage the town in which he lives by informing the outside world that there conditions there out of which race war might spring. It still less helpful to Tucson be pictured the world as d place likely be dsastrously affected by a

 But the people of the north and east whom Tue son is inviting and for whom it is building hotels and for whose admiration it is beautifyng itself do not known that Many of them believe that it is d border town just many people believe that all Ari zona towns are situated the frontier surrounded by savage beasts and
 The average correspondent feels that he en- joys a license to embesh facts, but he should re- frain from blackening them and putting them in such d form to make his crow The telegraph editor of the Times should have known enough Tucson his exercise Of the blue pencil if the waste paper basket on that misleading and dama ging dispatch.
 We do that the correspondent should conceal facts. If Tucson Phoenix any other town becomes a danger point it proper that the public should be informed in order that the dan ger may be avoided.

The Business Methods of Conqress

What needed in congress than any thing else to be business manager-some- body to direct the expenditure of the funds which congress appropriates for the conduct of it's own business Exceedingly loose methods have been disclosed by the demand of young lady clerk of the committee on expenditures of the house for pay for her services
 The debate the question of making appropriation for her pay at the rate of $l5O q month brought several surprising but unds puted facts. She had been employed by the chair of the committee acting clerk of the com- mtee at the above named salary She had per formed all the clerical services that had been per formed by anybody The chairman had promised her that congress would make the appropriation. He had employed her without authority. But with the authority vested in the charmen of ell com mttees he had previously appointed regular clerk who had since drawn his pay month by month, of the contingent fund. That clerk had never performed service and none of the members of the committee who took part in the debate had ever him in the committee room. Only one of them had any idea his identity He thought that the of the clerk Baker; Joe Baker. Where Mir Baker resided the congressman did not know
 It is not certain that the young lady clerk will get her money though it is unanimously admitted that she earned it. The chief objection and per haps the only is the fear of establishing a precedent for the unauthorized employment or clerks. suggested that the chairman might simplify matters by paying her out of his own pocket but the chairman either absent or declined take part in the controversy that re mained merely suggestion

VARIETIES OF HUSBANDS RECOMMENDED

In the April American Magazine James Mont- gomery flagg contributes q piece in words and pie lures entitled The Care and Feeding of Husbands Below are reproduced of his recommendations to husbands
 Of the travelling salesman husband he says:
 Here is the ideal pet. That is of course if you can put up with loud bark and rather bi- zarre coloring. They should rank high as popular pets for the main that they are no care at all. They attend to feeding themselves and never are at home. And vet they belong to you They exceedingly friendly and will answer to a variety of names. such Bo. kiddo old Man. Cul Brother Old Pal, and Pard They water loving ami mals. We have hesitation in recommending them.
 Of the English husband he says:
 The march of the centuries has made no change in this sturdy animal Their love of hunting and killing is perhaps their endearing quality They will never distress you by coming home bleeding or mangled as they do not attack animals of their size. They will anything except real food properly cooked This is technically known patriotism Fanciers in England claim prepos terous human qualities for them but this may be laid down to native enthusiasm.

The Commissions Forward Movement

The new city government has been in power less than three weeks but it has given proof of it's pur pose thoroughly to modernZe Phoenix. Phoenix Is already modern far the energy and public spirit of it's private citizens could make it. but our manner of handling public matters had fallen be- hind the times
 The way in which the commission and manager have set about handling the garbage question. by the installation of mcinerdtor, must commend itself to all citizens. Phoenix has grown too. large to maintain d garbage dump any longer The garoage question grown such proportions that it must be met and solved
 In many other ways the commission and man. ager have given an of their purpose to give the people the kind of d government they had a right to expect under the charter, Generally, the appointments of officials have been wise ones We believe that efficiency has been the main con sideration in making them. We are pleased to ob- serve that the commission has established a rule for the peremptory removal from office of all who impair their efficiency by indulgence in alcoholic louors when there is demand upon them for efti- ciency.

He believed that her failure to receive her salary at the end of any month sufficient legal notice that her services longer desired and should have been regarded by her notice quit. We have heard of such thing in private life stopping the pay of an employe, leaving him to surmise if he chose that he had been fired, but his pay was not stopped while his service going on. Such procedure as is suggested in the remarks of Mr Mann would not be regarded honest outside the halls of congress.

 Rebels

MEXICO CITY, March 21.-Talking for the first time today to few newly arrived newspaper correspon- dents, President Huerta asserted that he had an army of 250O00 men, with which he was determined to fight the rebels until they were subjugated or exterminated. He added that he was about ready to begin the con- struction along the railroads of 4,0O0 block-houses, about a mile and a half apart, in each of which would be placed ten men. Orders had al ready been given for barbed wire, he said, and this would be strung along the right of way of the railroad lines. The president expressed confidence that this scheme of protection would prove effective against the rebels.
 A virtually prohibitive export tax has been placed on cattle and hogs. This is not a measure by which it is expected to bring revenue to the government. but one calculated to- conserve the country's food supply. The territory from which the capital and other cities are receiving their beel has been greatly restricted by the revolution. and the problem of main ,aining meat supply promises to be- come serious should the rebels con. tinue closing in on the capital.
 Shippers, attracted by better mar kets abroad. recently began export ing to such an extent as to create apprehension.
