THE TOURISTS MONEY

One of the compensations of the war is the turning of the American tourist traffic away Europe Bank CTS estimate that the soppage Of foreign travel during the last four months has at least S5OOoO 900 which would normally have gone to European railroads. steamship nes hotels and merchants This great say ing resulted merely from the sudden termination of the summer tourist season. after heaviest expenditures had been made If the war lasts through next year, the tourist money kept here at home may amount Co S2OO,OOOOOO or ssOOoOoOoO
 It Is unnecessary point out the significance of that simply as factor guaranteeing satisfactory trade balance against Europe Keeping the money for do- mesuc investment But there is a still more pleasing side to it.
 Tourist must tour. Americans win spend their leisure
 time aud surplus funds in travel And since Europe and most of the rest of world is closed to them there will be an immense stimulus to domestic travel
 The East will go to the West The West whl travel in the East The North will south, and the south will go north We may be that our people in one year win become better acquainted with each other and with the beauties and resources of their great country than they would ordinarily in five years

eRITAIN's BILLIONS

The latest proof of Great Brtains financial power is tremendously impressive. Germany amazed the world by raising of than billion dollars without foreign help, within few weeks. But Britain, within
 few hours, was able to float the greatest loan in his tory. bond issue of Sl75OO0oOOO One banking house alone took half billion Of it. Financiers stood in line when the subscription lists were opened. The whole issue which yields practically per cent little less than the German consols, taken up at home with out waiting for participation of the British prov nces and apparently without any pressure or unusual methods
 In view of this achievement any talk of Ne" lorN or any other city becoming the financial center of the uorld is premature England stn rules finance as she rules he waves This striking evidence of her vast re- sources and her readiness to pour them into the war chest is even more significant than the raising Of nearly 100000 men.
 There are billions more waiting for the call In the mar.haung of British gold against German gold the pritons have an enormous advantage

NO MOVE YET TO STOP
 WHOLESALE HANGING


 FLORENCE Dec. 1.-Everythinr is in readiness at the state prison for the execution of the eleven con demnod men on December 19, altho' it is the general opinion that Cover nor Hunt win either reprieye some of them or take steps to re.fix the date of execution at different periods of time The condemned men are all in the death cell of the prison and the death watch is on duty There is but one gallows in the prison and it Is the purpose Go hang one man at a time if they are all to be "ushered out" on the same day. This means that it will take the warden and his helpers about three hours and forty minutes to comr etc the job, allow ing twenty minutes to the man. It Is necessary under the law, to go through a prescribed formula in each instance Each man must be given an opportunity on the gallows to say what he may choose, and after the trap drops each must be declared dead by an attending physician It has been ascertained that it takes from eight to fifteen minutes for the pulse of a man executed by hanging to cease beating
 The only reason why there are so
 many hangings on the same day is because Governor Hunt himself fixed
 the date in this manner The men
 were all sentenced to hang at differ
 ent times long before this. and the i governor reprieved them setting the date of each on December 19

AWAITING RESULTS

After being quiescent following the election the sub ject the 80 per law is again brought into local prominence by the activities here of British Consul Pax ton in behalf of his countrymen. It may be that the effects of the law under operation will be observed in the Warren District this week. Such will surely be
 the case if Governor Hunt issues the necessary proca nation relating to the In the absence of ac ton which will serve s restrain the enforcement of the act as literally interpreted than thousand men, many of them with families win be thrown out of employment in this District alone
 Did the men who drafted the measure give due con sideraton to such contingency when they set them selves up as lawmakers? Did voters who subscribed to the act take what would result from their toohastilycast bal ots? If what was object primarily sought by the sponsors for the measure? The answer admits of but one conclusion--an enforced raise in wages The means adopted to this end are open to criticism.

Did they take into consideration what bus- ness conditions might exist when the law became opera tive? Did they ascertain if increase was poas lle-n keeping with fair and honorable business pre-. cepts-in any or all of the industries eneatcd?
 If an increase in wages cannot be granted it means that the industries of Arizona will sustain severe blow.

SUNNY, POLICE DOG, is DEAD.

=, HE Police Department lost one Of
its most faithful four footed
members the other day when
Sunny OF the West 125th street police
station was found dead in the street.
Not only does the department regret
him, but the children of the neighbor-
hood In which Sunny was constantly on
duty at the dangerous crossings will
miss their canine friend
The police of the l25th street police
station were extremely fond OF Sunny
because Of his intelligent ways. While
there have been other dog policemen at
tached TO that precinct none OF them
was the equal OF Sunny in Intelligence
The police suspect that Sunny was
poisoned. From the time that Sunny's
owner. Policeman Gustav Prlmont.
found the dog dead they have been
conducting search for the poisoner
and they think their quest will prove
successful.
sunny was an unusual dog n many
ways. His entrance into the Police De-
partment was the most unusual incident
In his career. II seems that n friend Of
Policeman Primonts. deciding to go to
Europe, found that he could not take
Sunny along with him. He was puz-
zled as 20 what to do with the dog,
when he found a w. out OF the diem
ma by presenting Sunny 10 Prlmont.

to how he could take re Of the dog.
Then Sunny provided the solution by

was unusually intelligent From the
very first he caught on to the regular
routine. one of his favorte tricks was
performed Immediately after the rollcill.
when he faced about with the police
men and marched out of the house mt
Primonts side. He accompanied that
officer to his post and entered into the
police work with ardor and faithfulness
Resides being proficient at regulating
traffic at crossings. esp, cially in the
vicinity of public schools, Sunny was
equally efficient in putting a damper on
street fights. Although lie was never
known 10 bite any one, his trick was to
assume a threatening posture. as II he
really intended To rink his sharp teeth
in the leg OF a Combatant. Ifthls trick
failed to secure the desired result
Sunny would make n rush at the fight
ers, barking loudly TO attract their at
tcntion. This effort generally met with
success.
sunny made speciality OF doing res
cue work at fires. Not that he carried
any one downstairs or anything like
that. but he was instrumental in
srousing and driving the occupants of
burning buildings out into safety by
his loud barking and excited actions.
