DID TAFT SAY IT?

Prohibition speakers in this country are endeavoring to create the impress sion that the statements of prominent men quoted by the Arizona Local Self Government league in the campaign against statewide prohibition, are un- true.
 For those who question the quota ton ascribed to Former President Taft, we are submitting a lengthy passage from one of his four lectures delivered at Yale and contained in his book -Four Aspects of Civic Duty" published by Scribners. It follows:
 Nothing is more foolish, nothing more utterly at variance with sound policy than to enact a law which, by reason of conditions surrounding the community is INCAPABLE OF EN- FORCEMENT. Such instances are sometimes presented by sumptuary laws, by which the sale of intoxicat- ing liquors is prohibited under penal ties in localities where the public sen- timent of the immediate community DOES NOT AND WILL NOT sustain the enforcement of the law In such cases the legislation usually is the re- suit of agitation by the people in the country districts who are determined to make their fellow citizens in the city better. The enactment of the law comes through the country representa- i tives. who form a majority of the leg islature, but the enforcement of the law | is among the people who are generally | opposed to it's enactment, and under such circumstances the law is A DEAF LETTER. The constant violation or neglect of any law leads to a de. moralization of all laws"

AS TO MIR. coMPERS

In some of the newspapers in this state recently has appeared an alleged dispatch from Washington in which a letter from Samuel GQmpers relative to his position on the Hquor question is prefaced with the statement:
 organized labor, through it's head, Samuel Gompers, president of the American Federation of Labor, has gone on record against prohibition"
 This statement is decidedly mislead ing and erroneous. Although MT. Com pers' letter is authentic no doubt, yet there is nothing contained therein from which it may be inferred that he is speaking for organized labor or defin ing it's stand on the question of prohi- bition. He clearly speaks only for him. self and makes no mention of the great organization of which he is the head.
 MT Gompers unquestionably is priv iIeged to entertain and give publicity to any opinions he may deside, but it must not be concluded that his personal opinions are those of organized labor as whole. In this instance he has not attempted to create such an i'm press1on, but were he to do so he would be exceeding his authority. MT. Com pers is no more privileged to speak for labor on a question of this nature than is the most obscure member; no more is it his privilege than it is that of Governor Hunt to speak for the citi- zens of this state when discussing the Panama canal tolls question, or that of the supreme dictator of the Loyal Ord CT of Moose to advance his opinion of the democratic tariff as that of the members of the order.
 MT. Gompers has been elected to his high office many times because the great majority of organized laborers have believed him to be the greatest l exponent of the principles which form | the basic foundation of their organiza- | ton. But neither prohibition nor anti | prohibition is one of those principles and when he discusses such subjects he obviously cannot be regarded as speak | ing for those who have endorsed his views on others
 He enumerates many of the benefits l for which labor is striving-increase Oi | wages, shorter work day, opportunity for the cultivation of better tastes, bet ter aspirations, higher ideals. a bettel standard of living and freedom, op portunity for better homes and sur roundings and improved working con ditions-and says these will prove moro potent in establishing temperance ant
 temperate habits than any attempt t' regulate the personal habits or to in
 augurate prohibition by law.

CHANGE
 IN COTTON RATE
Corporation Commission Petitions I. c. c. to Sus- pend Proposed Cancella- tion, Alleging It Will Work Hardship.

Alleging that the proposed change in the rate on cotton from points in Arizona to eastern markets which goes into effect Oct. will work ser ious injury to the cotton industry of this state, the corporation commis sion has filed a petition with the in- terstate commerce commission ask ing for the suspension of the cancel lation of the present rate. The commission attacks the reduction in rates on the ground that the with drawal of the privilege of stopping the shipment in transit is unjust and unreasonable.
 The present rate of 95 cents pe- 100 lbs. from points on the Santa Fe, Southern Pacific, Arizona East ern and Fl Paso and Southwestern to points east of Fl Paso, known in tariff classification as "Transcontln- ental east-bound No K, 1. C. C. 97S of R. H. Countiss. agent car ries with it d stop-over privilege for the purpose of allowing goods in transit to be compressed. Under the new supplement-, cafflefS partleS to the tariff above named have can celled item 270, and substituted item 270A, which provides for a rate Of S5 cents without the transit stop-oVer privilege. The commission prays that the cancellation of the 95 cent rate be suspended, and that the new S5 cent rate as provided in item 27O-A be treated as a new item, cov- ering a new commodity, and be al- lowed to become effective.
 The petition further states that ar- engagements for marketing the cotton rop in this state have been made OF tEe basis of rates heretofore carried and that the cancellation coming just as cotton is ready to move is unjust and unreasonable, and thai neither the cotton shippers, growers CT the corporation commission were advised of the contemplated change Inasmuch as the change in rates ccmes under the head of tariff re- duction the law does not require that advance notice be given by the carriers.

OPEN FORUM FOR DEBATING
 STATE WIDE PROHIBITION

The very important issue of state- wide prohibition has been raised. A campaign in favor of a constitutional amendment will be shortly instituted. This, like all other important ques- tions has two sides, on each of which are found honest and intelligent per sons.
 The Republican has decided to pro- vide for a reasonable discussion of this issue in it's pages. allowing to each side at least a half column daily for signed articles, for which there will be no charge. No anonymous article will be published.
 It is only stipulated that the com- munications for and against prohibit

ton be just and fair and that in no case shall there be any wild and ex- travagant statement that will in any way reflect upon the reputation O Phoenix for good order
 It is suggested by The Republican that either side. desiring to avail it. self of this offer of space, name a committee through which all matter relating to the issue shall be trans- mitted. In such case. all communica- tions received at this office from other sources will be rejected. We believe that this arrangement is ne- cessary to keep the discussion within reasonable lines.
 No paid advertisements from either side will be accepted.

be admitted such conditions must be attained. Their attainment is one of the objects of organization. But or ganization alone cannot bring them about. With this organization there must be education. And one of the greatest obstacles to the education of the laboring man relative to his con-
 dition, the causes therefor and the proper methods of his emancipation, is
 the accursed liquor traffic. Once free from it the day of accomplishment of labor's high purposes will be greatly hastened.

ACCIDENT ID THE STAIN"
 PREVENTS ITS ARRIVAL

w. B. Leecraft of the Lion theatre received a wire yesterday that one reel of 'The Stain was destroyed by an accident, but that new film was for showing at the Lion today and Thursday, and had been extensively advertised and will prove a disap- pointment to the many who were looking forward to the appearance of Miss Woodruff in this drama. Lee craft announces that just as soon as the new film is made The Stain will be shown at the Lion and due notice of time announced in the papers.
 Through this unfortunate accident to "The Stain" the Lion has substi- tuted a splendid program for today in which the feature is a Than houser drama entitled "The Pendu- lum of Fate,' with Morris Foster, Mayre Hall and the Thanhauser Twins in the principal roles. One Hundred boxes extra

WOOD TAKES
 P.0. TONIGHT
James H. McClintock Turns It Over after Dozen Years of Supervision-No Fuss or Ceremony Attends the
 Change of Administration

There will be no exploding of fire works or uncorking of firewater this evening, when Col. Jim McClintock, for a dozen years postmaster of Phoenix turns over his office to c. B. Wood, the new D. m.
 Instead, there will be a great counting of monies, checking of and adding up columns of figures Still, it will be in the nature of a ceremony, for when a man has held an office as long and as creditably as has Col Jim, he doesn't break away without some sort of sOlemnity.
 After the office closes this even ing, and the last stamp has been sold MT. Wood will go over things with MT. McClintock, while the clerks are making out sheets of figures. Then the two will shake hands and Col. Jim will take his departure, loose from the burdens and respon- abilities of official life, and ready to take up the highly interesting work of being an authority and an author on Arizona subjects.
 Mr. Wood, who has been state sen atOr from Maricopa county all the time Maricopa county ever had state senator, and secretary of the state fair commission all the time the fair has amounted to such stup- endeus figures as in the past year, will assume an office that he will hold just as long, perhaps, as the democratic administration at Wash ington is amiable and without doubt just as creditably as it has been held for To. these many years.
 Yes, it will be a very quiet turn ing over of the post office, much less noisy than the ceremony many pie hungry demos would have wanted had they commanded the ear of Col. w. Wilson back in the White House. One Hundred boxes extra

SnsiVs Real Pace

AT snails pace" is a common ex
preston and usually signifies very
slow gait, but what do you suppose
is the actual speed by a snail in trav
cling?
We can give 1t to you in accurate
figures.
One foot in four minutes, or at the
rate of one mile in IL days, if travel
ing continuously.
These are tigurea given by George
Zahnizer, a civil engineer of this city,
taken from actual observation.
A short time since Mr.. Zahnizer was
standing along the Western New York
e Pennsylvania railroad waiting for a
train. He had nothing in particular to
do and killed little time" by timing
a snail which was creeping along the
ground.
That snail travelled just exactly one
foot in four minutes, Mr.. Zahnizer
says, and computing distance at the
rate of travel shown Mr.. Zahnizer has
figured out that it would require 16
days for that snail to move a mile.
