Fear Only TemperamentaI.
From the Boston Globe.

NIUII tIIS bUSlOH 0IOD1.
Horace Fletcher, the great apostle Of
mastication. with a sideline Of mind
cure, bids us Danish all fear, physical,
moral, social. Fear has had its uses
in the evolutionary process, but that
1t should remain any part Of the mem
tai equipment Of human civilized life is
an absurdity." He has coined the
word 'f~earthought'' and defined the
word worry as "~fearthought in con-
tradistinction to forethought-"
After all. fear and courage are tenn
peramental. BY the exercise OF COM
mon and will power we may dis
cipline ourselves out Of fear into some
degree OF courage, although 1t Is <
stremely doubtful that q naturally timid
and rvo man would suddenly dis
play great bravery IL he should meet q
footpad on q lonely road at night.

BRITAIN
HAS BUT LITTLE TO
ANTICIPATE IN LIFE
No Protection Afforded by Employers
All Efforts to Eliminate Wom-
on From Saloons Have
Failed.

London. Special: TOO old at 30" Is
the unhappy lot Of the British barmaid.
described in a report, by Mrs. Bernard
Drake. of an inquiry, made by the
won1en's industrial council.
Barmaids are a British institution.
Very few men are found behind the
bars in the saloons throughout the Uni
ted Kingdom, except proprietors, There
are $4,000 barmaids in England, alone.
Frequent crusades have been started,
with the purpose Of eliminating wom-
en- and, particularly. girls, from this
vocation. but nothing lasting has been
accomplished. One reason is that the
saloon is the working mans club. and
he prefers those places where he can
gossip with the girls. On the whole.

the report. Sometimes she Is old at
20; she Is generally too old at 80" Her
chances OF marriage are small unless
she marries the barman or the mana
ger. and almost the only ~ecourse left
to her is the streets. The number of
women. on the London streets. who
have once been barmaids. is out Of all
proportion to h total numbers in the
trade.
Mrs. Drake writes sympathetically Of
the women behind the bars. She says:
The barmaid is cheaper than the
barman. She Is more Industrious, more
sober. more amenable to the wishes OF
her EMPLOYER. less rebellious against the
hard conditions Of public -house life.

PONINENT ATTORNEYS EN-
GAGE IN SHEEP BUSINESS

! 1t is reported on good authority
that Attorneys A Y Moore and
E P Conwell of this city will
engage in the sheep business in
the near future. The circumstan-
ces of the case are rather sing
ular, and the two young attor-
neys, embarking in a new and
entirely different line of endeavor
will, no doubt, come as a surprise
to their many friends in the le-
gal profession.
1t happened that the above
mentioned limbs of the law were
called on about two weeks ago to
defend one Be-Ling-E-B Bega, a
Navajo Indian, on a charge of
murder, and, as a recompense,
they were to receive 100 head of
sheep between them which were
expected to arrive the last of the
week. Just what disposition the
aforesaid attorneys will make of
the above mentioned sheep is not
known but it further and under
stood that they will Immediately
place them under the care of a
shepherd as the wool alone will
be highly renumerative. 1t is
hoped the sheep will make as
good shearingasth the first mention

sheep, wool and, together with
ten years of his liberty.

TWO HUNDRED SIX MIL
LION SPENT IN 1918.

During the year 1913 there
was 206 million dollars spent on
making roads in the United
States according to recent high
way bulletin. Of this vast sum
automobiles contributed slightly
over , per cent or 81, so, OC. 0O
in round figures.
There are now but nine states
in the union that set aside no
State funds for road building,
and there are but seven states
that have no state highway law.
For the year Arizona spent
S6O7, 900. in construction, main
tenance and administration.
There were 81 miles of state and
state aid roads completed during
the year which makes a total of
state and state aid roads of 22O
miles. There are but 354 miles
of improved roads in the state
out Of a total road milage of
5987 miles.
In Arizona automobiles con-
tributed $17, 416. to the road fund
in the way of licenses.
Eight states employ convict
labor on roads and there was a
total of 695 miles of road built
in these states. In this state 6
miles of convict built roads was
completed at a labor cost of 40,
925 work days.

RATE REDUCTION
REDUCED AGAIN

The promised reduction in ra-
tes on -four from points in Kansas
to points in Arizona will not be
on August l.. The Interstate
Commerce Commission has issu-
ed another order requiring the
railroads to issue tariffs making
the reduction effective Oct. ].
1914, instead of Aug. 1st.
No paticulr reason for this de-
lay is given. The cause of it,
however, in another order which
has been issued re-opening the
Kansas California rate case for
further argument.
The proposed rates from Kan
sas to Arizona Con direct line Of
haul between Kansas and Calf. J
were to be no higher than the
rates from Kansas to Calf. desi-
tinations. The rates from Kan
sas to Calf. are now made sub
ject to further changes by the
Interstate Commerce Commission.
Therefore the rates from Kansas
to Arizona cannot be determined
until the Calf. case is settled, is
the contention.
Possibly the new rates to Ariz.
can be made effective Oct. |, but
it seems to be very doubtful that
the Calf. rates will be settled by
that time and therefore unlikely
that that the reductions to Ariz.
will become effective on Oct. l.
The Commission can orderanoth-
er postponement if it feels so, dis
posed.
The fact is the entire matter
is more indifnate than ever. No
effort has been made by the rail
roads to issue new tariffs to
Arizona, and now they are relie-
we'd from any obligation to do so
for what amounts to an uncer-
tain length of time.
Under the circumstances the
only thing to do is to worry
along under the old rates.

WAR BULLETIN

Especial to the Mail by leased wire, the lo ng-
est in the world
The Mails special war cores
pondent in Berlin, after shaving
and making his toilet, immedlat-
ely wires US the following on the
European situation:
Berlin, Aug. 8, 6:26 1-2 a. M. (,
England S formal declaration of
war was received with great en-
thusiasm here. The Kaiser, with
whom [ was enjoying a stein
when the news came, was great
ly alarmed over the turn in the
situation. Leaving his mug half
Grained, he rushed to the Reisch-
stag and began denouncing
France and Russia for their
treachery in forcing the much
beloved fatherland into an un-
willing war. After unloading a
lot of words that were so kinky
they.would fall off the wire if at
tempted to send them, he wound
up by saying it was alright any
way as he had Gott on his side.
Foodstuffs have taken decid-
ed leap. So many men have joined
the army that it looks as if there
would be a scarcity of harvest
hands to gather the Weiners
which are already turning. Judg-
ing from present appearances
the major portion of them will
rot on the vines from lack of
men to gather them.
Large detachments Of troops
are leaving daily for the French
frontier and no doubt a fortnight
will see the rivers in that vicin-
ity stained with sauer kraut.
Bill has somewhat recovered
from the shock he received on
hearing of the assination of his
dear friend the Archduke Fran
els Ferdinand. England's atti-
tude has acted as powerful
bulm applied to his Majesty's
wounds. Just what the war is
about | have been unable to
learn. Every one seems to be at
sea regarding the cause, but the
presumption is that Bill is heart
broken over the death of his de-
generate friend, and that the
only thing that will ever bring
him to himself again is to see the
blood flowing from a couple of
million Of his subjects.

MRS. WOODROW WILSON

Mrs. Woodrow Wilson, wife O.
the president of the Unitet
States, diedin Washington Thur
sday afternoon at 5 co ock.
Four months Of almost unbrok
en- illness, complications of ner
vous ailments and Bright's dis
ease, sapped the vitality Of the
first lady Of the land. For days
it had been admitted by physic-
ians in charge, that all hope fol
recovery had vanished. At the
bedside Of the stricken woman
were her daughters, husband anC
other relatives and the attending
physicians.
Mrs. Wilson was conscious on
ly at intervals, but was cheer
full and kept constantly calling
Tor her husband. Every spare
moment of the grief stricken
president, was devoted to his
wife, and many urgent official
duties were attended to from the
sick room.
One day last March Mrs. Viii
son slipped on a rug at the White
House and injured her spine. An
operation was found to be nee
essary, and after weeks of con-
valescence she arose from her
bed, but the burden of a winter S
activity together with charity
work in the slums Of the city,
brought on nervous prostration.
The president himself had clung
to the hope that she might sur
vive the crisis, but her frail con-
stitution, drained by months Of
of illness was unable to with
stand the battle.
Mrs. Wilson had taken an ac-
tive interest in the work Of her
husbands administrations, and
had been particularly active ~
betterlng conditions in the Slums.
Her counsel and advice were Civ
en- to many weighty subject of
state.
Mrs. Woodrow Wilson was
fifty years Of age and was
in robust health when she went
to the White House. She was
always the constant help-mate
and advisor of her devoted hus-
band. The whole universe
mourns the passing Of this good
noble woman, whose every am
bition was the betterment of
mankind. In the saddest hours
OF the president, deepest sorrow
and symathy are expressed and
extended by all his constituents.
