 That the Near East will continue for a genera tion the tinder-box which it has been for half century past is than likely from the events of the last twelvemonth.
 If general war should grow out of the present critical situation, how certainly the British navy secure Egypt and Suez?
 Such security. if maintained would imply almost inevitably power to act offensvey also in neigh boring waters. If similar conditions to arise five years hence how would the situation be affect the several naval forces-a matter of prediction?
 When in England last autumn I told that a German naval officer had predicted some years before that German naval increase would compel Great Britain abandon the Mediterranean Whether abandonment has actually occurred may be matter of argument, dependent upon the ap- preciaton placed by any adequate authority upon the movement of redistribution of the British navy which has recently been made. That there has been relative abandonment indisputable when measured by the conditions of the past turieS. But circumstances alter cases: such aban- donment has occurred than once though not l believe in time of peace
 Whether France alone, formerly the enemy, whether France with the support of Great Britain maintain the control of trade security and military effectiveness throughout the sea is the point in question: It will be sufficient to se- the western half.
 The British empire needs the whole sea for i'm perial movement of commerce and for imperial naval effectiveness, dependent upon the movement of fleets essential to the existence of the empire- A. T. Mahan in London Mail

The Effect of the Rain

There was never in the history of Phoenix much enthusiasm among the farmers and business men of Phoenix as there was yesterday. It shone from the face of every the street-mer- chant, farmer laborer everybody
 This is the best country in the world to live in,' said an old Subscriber of The Republican The grass is growing right up under the cattle The warm weather of the winter left everything in good shape for the rains give the start and it was started You almost it grow You'll find it so everywhere in Arizona. every range This will be such year for cattlemen and sheepmen as they have had. good many years ago may have had such prospects for plenty of feed but we hadn't such prospects for high prices. There is other country like Ari- and there is other part of it like the Salt River valley.
 All of us have known this all the time but some of us have not realized it. It took the rain We have had and the rain that is coming to start the enthusiasm in it has started the grasses on the desert and in the fields. The enthusiasm was there all the time, but to some of us, it was One of the beneficent effects of the rain was purely psychological, mysterious as it's ef- feet upon the grass seeds, but as real
 We do not know how much these rains will amount to in dollars and cents to the citizens Of this valley We may say just to get a starting point a million million dollars for the sea son. Say two million dollars. Now, if instead Of the ran this had been actually distributed in gold among the citizens of the valley in the pro portion which they will reap their shares of the benefits the rains, and if this morning they had their respective shares the credit of their several accounts in the banks, they would not feel so good And as a matter fact they would not be so greatly benefited they have been by the rains So the psychological effect is greater than the i'm mediate material effect.
 Gold may make happy but it does not give him enthusiasm. Here is proof that the old pro- verb "a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush is not always

THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
BY HOWARD L, RANN

The house of representatives is popular sembly which is popular when it ad- journs sine die. It springs direct from the people, but they don't brag much about it among them selves. The life of congressman is very hard He is obliged to get up before and hang around the cloakroom until the steering committee go and entertain visiting politician who the postoffice and all there is on the bill of fare. The congressman is a reflector of public op- nion but he does most of his reflectng after somebody has beat him to it in a primary election The house always revises the tariff and sends few trust magnates to jail every session, but it doesn't get very about it unless the senate air brakes in good working order. The senate looks down upon the house and bosses it around good deal. The house gets a Turkish bath any patronage higher than fourth class post office until the senate pushes back from the table. and this doesn't happen often enough to make any gressmans break into the and engage in either in the house. The is very cruel body, and once in a while it passes some bill which the house has sent up in a spirit of playful When this happens the house goes into cutive session. diSmiSSeS the chaplain and exposes the latest design in deckle-edged profanity. The house is composed chiefly of lawyers with flour ishingly practice in the justice court, whose chief occupation is toseonstrue the constitution and write great applausep into their. speeches-two very pleasing and harmless practices The house is most responsive to the will of the people immediately before election.

A RAID ON KNEE BREEcHES

The short brooches, preferably made of leather with embroidery and silk pait down each side have been conventional a part of the average mans dress in the Tyrol and the Bavarian Alps many years white shirt, silk cummoerbund and flannel trousers have been the river during Hen- ley week. They are in fact. much more indispen- sable characteristic than the plume in the hat those peculiar footless stockings which tickle the fancy of many Anglo Saxon tourists who find their way to the Hofbrauhaus courtyard in Munich or to somewhere further south. But apparently their existence is threatened.
 An edict has just been issued by the secretary of the Archbishopric of Munich, calling attention this costume. and giving the parish priests special instructions regarding it. These instructions may be summarized follows: The priests fuse perform for any association which counts wearers of bare knees among those present; they also to forbid all of the conven- tional Tyrolean shorts appear in any religious procession or to enter any church
 The order has caused much indignation, and strong effort is being made to have it cancelled, the majority of the peasanry faithful Roman Catholics the order will involve the complete dis appearance of the costume from the Tyroean vil lages and hillsides, leaving it to be worn here and there in a vulgar and caricature way by every Saxon Prussian who has the money to spare and the desire for notoriety in his heart.
 The Society for the Preservation of the Cos tunes of Bavaria which has done much in recent years to prevent confusion and exaggeration among the costumes of each small locality, and has come the growing tendency of the peasant to adopt trousers and bowler hats, finds itself faced with fresh problem.
 It is said that the order it's origin to the complaints of society women, who criticised the re- cent orders concerning peekaboo blouses and hobble skirts and said that it was not just that such or ders should be addressed to one sex alone-London Daily News.

SALARIES OF CROWNED HEADS

Emperor William of Germany, complains that he feels the increasing. of living saying he may be required to dispose of a castle or two The minimum wage of sovereigns the amounts on which they required make both ends meet has an element of general interest at a time when ordinary people find it difficult pay their bills no matter what the income may be.
 Emperor William has fixed annual income of sS,G9S,260, paid by taxation of the German people In addition to this tidy he has the income from a large amount of private property scattered throughout the empire. This property includes castles forests and estates of which the court expenditures and the royal family paid.
 In spite of the Kasers complaint the wage of sovereigns is reasonably high Haakon VII king of Norway, draws $1S5,O00 a year. and his pay is the smallest of all. Roumanians give their king s227- $50 and the ruler of Servia gets nearly much
 The king of little Wurtemberg is paid nearly half million dollars the king of SaxOny $SSO OOO of Greece s260OO0 of Italy $3OOO OOO of Spain nearly s4,OOO.O0O, of Belgum s623,6OO, of Bavaria s2S6OoO and of Denmark $262OO The Czar of Rusias es- tmated annual income is $12,OOO,OOO and the en- peror of Austria ge ts s4,50000O
 The strange thing about Europe's wage scale for kings is that there to be attempt to pay according to efficiency. It is possible Elm peror William is worth all he gets, and he may even have just cause for complaint about his salary. But to the rest of them, the conclusion cannot be butted that for the most part they charging all the traffic will bear.-Oregon Daily Journal

The Government and the Pacifics

As rare as a day in June is the day when William Randolph Hearst does not prosecute an attack upon the Wilson administration. It may be directed only at the general foreign policy in the guise of Admiral Juice" in whose hair peace doves are building nests, it may be more de- fintely directed against the Mexican policy or the attitude the government with respect to canal tolls
 But just now Mr. Hearst is arraigning the ad- ministration's with respect to the Southern Pacific and the Central Pacific MT Hearst is backed in this campaign by the business men of California especially those of San Francisco. who assert that the arrangement between the two Pa cifc is beneficent one; that the separation which the government is seeking to enforce would i'm pair facilities which shippers now enjoy and would result in benefit to industry or no person. .-:
 The government is asked by the shippers, at least withhold action against the roads until their joint operation be investigated by the pro- posed federal industrial commission that it may be ascertained whether the arrangement is really in injurious restraint of trade The shippers. and they represent almost every line in California. say it is not We believe that no one outside the depart ment of justice, has alleged harmful combination exist.
 The federal industrial commission to which al fusion is made by the San Francisco shippers is proposed in one the bills known the trust trio," introduced by Representative Murdock, pro- gressve of Kansas It is such commission as is advocated in the national progressive platform, looking to inquiry into the character of cOmbina- tons before ordering their destruction In fact, it does contemplate their destruction at all but their strict regulation the end that the rights of the public may be protected
 In this attack upon the administration MT. Hearst has better fighting ground than he occu pies in other attacks. He makes point of the gov- ernment's lethargy in the matter of the New Haven railroad which, despite the complaints of the pub lie permitted to its destructive and dis graceful until it fell apart of it's own tenness.
 In the of the Pacfics MT. Hearst asserts,

fife measures he proposes He urges the govern ment to the aid of minority stockholders. The president of every corporation should be quired to report annually to the stockholders and to the state and federal officials every contract made by the company in which any director is in terested The attorney general of the United States of the state should investigate all such contracts and take proper proceedings them aside and the profits from the interested directors State and national bank examiners, state superin- ,tendents of insurance and interstate commerce com missions should be directed to examine the cords of every bank, insurance company, railroad company and other corporation engaged in Inter- state Commerce. The proposal is fundamental and comprehensive: sometimes it is the who knows the inside best who is most fundamental in the remedies he advises-Harpers Weekly.
