consent is said doubtless to have been
granted owing to the lack of an avail
able German princess and to his aver
sion to a foreign marriage for his SON

1888. and her father, Count Charles

today. The Prince is 26 years old.
Lively comment was aroused by the

be the first morganatic union which
has occurred in the Mohenzollern

The great and near great state men of the National Capital have had their ears close to the ground for several weeks, and many of them have been thrown into cold chills by the distressing sounds they have heard. One nervous Congressman said that war might be what Sherman said it was, but being Congressman, oblig- ed to stay in Washington when the fences were nearly down Tn the district was not much differ ent. A Washington newspaper published a cartoon of the Capi- tol showing the steps heaped with trunks and suit cases, and underneath was printed the words: Listening for the mas ter's voice. !" The inference of course is that the President pre- vented adjournment. One of the results of the herding of the great politicians in Washington has been the lack of enthusiasm over election matters throughout the country; but politicians who have remained at the Capitol under compuision remind one a good deal of a mixed group of Euro peans discussing the war, inas- much as they are all claiming ad- vance victories.

THE LONESOME MAN IN
 THE WHITE HOUSE.

Simply because man happens to be President is no reason at all why he should cease to be like other human beings in the desire to exercise natural freedom. MT.
 Taft has ''let the public in" on how he felt about this. But how about Woodrow Wilson? Here is man who came to Washington sixteen months ago, with a wife and three grown daughters. Now that wife, who was chum and a helpmate, has passed forever be- yond the shadows. Two of the daughters have been married; and of the happy family only it's head and one daughter are toget- her. The White House, to which they came in happiness, and in the expectancy of a beautiful ex- pansion of home\ life, has become a dreary and lonely abode it is transformed into the house of mourning and silence. The Presl- dent used to like a couple of even- ings a week at the theatre and he rollicked about a good deal. and had a good time. But it is different now, and lonely Wood row Wilson shrinks from the pub- lie gaze, and he even refused to enter into the campaign to make speeches, as has heretofore been the custom. He seeks forgetfull- ness of hls own unhappiness in his work, and eagerly welcomes the responsibilities and troubles

Information Concerning
 The Farms of Arizona

Arizona has 9.227 farms; of this number 8,366 are operated by owners and managers and 861 by tenants. according to the last Federal Census Reports.
 Ninety-one per cent of the farms of this State are operated by owners and managers and g per cent by tenants.
 The farm home owners and managers of Arizona cultivate 29O, BIO acres of land and tenants till 59, 863 acres in this State.
 The value of the land and buildings of the tenant farms in this State is $8, 288,OOO; that of the home owner and managers $39. 997, ,OOO.
 In compiling data for the last Federal Census, the enumerators asked every farmer in Arizona this question: How long have you lived on the farm you now occupy?" This question was ans wered by 6,645 of the 9,227 farm operators in this State. More than 2,000 stated that they had occupied their farms only one year or less; 1856 from 2 to 4 years; 105O from 5 to 9years and over. The most restless class of people in this State is the tenant who operated his farm on the share basis.
 An official of the Federal Gen. sus Bureau, in discussing the re- port recently issued by the gov ernment dealing with the term of occupancy, of farms In the United States. said:
 "This frequency of moving from farm to farm. or instability of occupancy. very likely forms one of the chief causes for the decline of rural prosperity, or IS a hlndrance to greater progress. Frequenty of removal of farmers results in general sh1ftlessness; the roads and bridges are gene rally in a poor condition because the farmers, moving frequent periods, are not particularly in- terested in their upkeep. farm buildings of such farms are not usually kept in good repair. as the farmer who is about to move will leave the repairs for the next tenant to make. The same reasons will apply for lack of in- terest by the unstable" farmer in the schools, churches and gen.

It is surprisingly strange that there should be so much differ ence of opinion as to what effect the Clayton Omnibus Trust Bill will have upon labor" There are all sorts of charges that there is a pretty confidence gamei in the mysteries of the new legislation, which will never be solved until the Supreme Court finally passes out a decision in the dim future. The original Sherman law was a negative doctrine for nearly twen- ty years, but when it got to work it cleaned a clear path, and bad
 big business was now down. The lawbreakers only saved themsel- yes by running to cover, and hast fly changing skins. We were told months ago that the purpose of the new legislation was to inn prove this same Sherman law, but critics declare that the effect has been that all the teeth have been taken out of the old status, and that by juggling processes of legislation. the new law is weak and inefficient. But this may be political clap trap. If this should be proven to be the case. it would not be surprising in view of the fact the Congress- ional elections are at hand. One thing is sure, that is that we have a new Trades Commission law that gives ample authority for the government to investigate if that is done intelli- gently it must produce beneficial
