ley has never been systematized, for lack of re- liable market. The few who have gone into the business and followed it ntellgently have done we'll but enough have engaged in it supply even the local demand. large part of the fruits and vege- tables used in Phoenix have been brought from California when could raise better ones at home and save heavy express charges to the benefit of both the producer and the consumer.
 Though the Salt River valley is known through out the United States an agricultural empire it is hardly known all in Arizona towns and mining camps garden where the finest fruits and vege- tables be produced
 A central market, conducted with the idea of bringing the producer and consumer together will stimulate production and bring the knowledge of the valley to the outside towns which will look to it for their supplies rather than to the distant gardens of California. This kind of a market will do more to- ward cutting the rich lands of the valley into small holdings than any other agency.

of transportation. After fifty people have been crowded into a 30-foot lfeboat it is no more comfortable than a stIeet in the rush hours. Skillful seamen a lifeboat several hundred miles to shore if necessary, living upon siona biscuit, but in the hands of few dining room stewards who do not know which end of the to grasp while rowing the lifeboat is at best perilous and uncertain affair."
 For many years steamships have carried life boats hung from their upper decks and these boats have added greatly to the peace of mind of passengers who have put life-preservers every time hit their stateroom porthoes In fact the lifeboat generally considered be very acceptable substitute for a steamship in case the latter sank-until about two years ago when it suddenly demonstrated in most distressing manner that the best lebOat in the world is of no whatever to the passengers who cant. crowd into it.
 Since that time steamers have provided enough lifeboas to hold all of their passengers and But yet very few Improvements have been made in the of launching a lifeboat in a heavy Up to the present the bottom-sid up method has been used very extensively and has proven satisfactory to those directors naV- gation companies who have remained steadfastlv at home focusing their well-trained intellects upon the matter of more speed and larger palm gardens

Price of Food Products

This rise in the price of foodstuffs will bear looking into Prices legitimately regulated by demand and should in be permitted be regulated by speculation At present there is unusual demand for any of the commodities the prices of which have been suddenly and sharply advanced The demand from abroad is all in antic- patton.
 It is said in eXpana ton some of the advances in prices recently made that the hold ing back their products for prices. That may be in isolated cases but the average farmer the great mass of farmers, are not doing and could not do Certainly the farmers had nothing do with the sudden soaring prices of wheat in Chicago at the prospect of the European war.
 The producer. the farmer, the manufacturer has a legal and a moral right to hold his products for any price he thinks he may later obtain, but man has moral right to collect corner those things which the people must have, in order that he may mulct them This kind of forehandedness has time and another been recognized as a crime against the public and formerly severely punished in Englard
 We have had in this country. for years, regulations against certain commodities but they were instituted for the benefit of neither the producer the consumer the old English laws against forestallng were the protection of the speculating gamblers in these commodities We have made much progress in the regulation of those matters in which the people concerned that may expect that time the government will be provoked to price regulation.

kIPLING MISREAD INDIAN MIND
(Lippincott's)

You will never really understand him. you will be told if in your thirst for knowledge you attempt to fathom the depths of his nature. He is beyond you. As Kipling in of his Departmental Dit ties" puts
 "You'll never plumb the Oriental mind. And if you did, isn't worth the to Think of a sleek French priest in Canada; Divide by twenty half breeds Multiply By twice the SphinXs silence There's your East And you're wise ever

Qualities which are ascribed with unreflecting readiness to the Oriental often turn inspection to be not ip the least pecu- liar to the east but qualities universal among peo- pies at primitive stage. Many of them might have been discovered just much in medieval Europe The Crusaders would find it much easier to enter into the feelings of many Oriental peoples today than into those of their own descendants in France Germany.

LET NEckS BE UNcONFINED
(Collier's Weekly)

Two somewhat conflicting bits of information are borne into this editorial office on the summer breeze. From Atlanta Ga, comes that sleeve less bathing suits be tolerated at Pied mont Park-even men; whereas Paris France. reports that Gallic masculinty is freeing itself the tyranny of the starched collar. Anatole France who is socialist well author, heads league which declares for soft collars open the neck Poets have inclined toward rolling col lars that leave free the throat Byron and Shelly and Walt Whitman all alike in that. But which is the real tendency? The Atlanta policy of cruel repression the Parisian ideal of increased latitude? We hope it is the latter. Paris for once reasonable style For great while men have been moving and more generally away from stiffness in shirts and hats and collars (to say nothing of manners); men who crash suits in summer more numerous and less conspic- than once. With erudite Philip Hale of the Boston Herald vote for soft madras shirts with collars and cuffs attached-and may the aundress forget that starch exists to try hot weather tempers In all things temporal freedoms side Womens fashions made for greater comfort than mens-yet men fix womens fash ions. Arise, ye Goths. And let begin by de- lending the sleeveless bathing suit and donning the Anatolean soft shirt.

The Prodigal Son
By WALT MASON

At last I'm wise, I will arise, and seek my fathers shack;' thus muttered low the ancient bo and then he hit the track. From dwellings rude he'd oft been shooed, been chased by farmers dogs this poor old scout, all down and out, had herded with the hogs. His heart wrong it took him long to recognize the truth that there's a glad and smiling dad for each repentant youth 'l will arise, dOggone my eyes, the prodiga ob served, and try to strike the old straight pike from which 1 idly swerved.' The father saw, while baling straw, the truant, and lamed; he whoOped with joy; my swaybacked boy, you're welcome" he exclaimed. Midst glee and mirth two dollars worth of fireworks then burned we'll kill cow" cried father, now that Reuben has returned" His sisters sang, the farmhouse rang with glee till rafters split his mother sighed with hope and pride, his granny had fit. And it's today the same old way, the lamp doth nightly burn, to guide you home O, boys who roam, if you will but return

But I want for this place with eastern traditions and point of view, and graduate of technology, It's the chance of lifetime for the right If he ceeds in this place, he can go up indefinitely.
 We'll" replied Professor Brand, there two recent graduates who stand out above all the other men in my classes. They were graduated three years ago, and have done excellent work since One them, Wilson, led his class-he had the highest marks in years-and Billings of the first Wilson is absolutely self made worked his way through school and college, and had time for recreation if he had the inclination Bill lngs has much more of the social instinct, but he had no struggle to gain his education-his family put him through, you understand. He is a first rate man, but perhaps he hasn't the same training for hard work that Wilson has. You'd better look them yourself. I'll ask them to dinner Friday. Of course, they will have idea that they under inspection
 Good. Friday at ' o'clock, then"
 Late Friday the two older parted from their younger guests and following the call of the lovely spring night walked through the public den Finally the professor said:
 Well, Lang, which is it?
 Billings is the man. He's observant."
 How do you know he'd be keener than Wilson,
 Well, for thing, his social address is bet
 Now, Lang, beating round the bush. We are both thinking of Wilson's bad table man. ners Let's admit it! Still, it doesn't seem quite fair that lack of early home training should cut Wilson off from his great chance, does it?'
 Would it really be great chance to Wilson? Would he see the chance and do for the company what the in this position must do, represent socially, men-big men often-each his precise level?"
 But many successful men have shocking table manners"
 Yes, Brand but I can't risk it in this I've been looking these men up and I find that Billings comes from very simple people, too. think you'll find that whatever grace of manner he has is the result of keen eye and a clear mind. He may have stood below Wilson in academic work, but he has the sense to recognize the best way of doing things, and the willingness to put himself in order to acquire that best way
 The kind hearted professor shook his head rowfully It's not easy to put a deliberate finger on anothers weakness. but I wish dared tell Will what you say.
 You'll do him tremendous favor if you do Brand Any business concern would rather be rep resented by a who cares enough to improve himself in every possible way than by man who has had the advantage of university training and yet behaves like a boor. There's careless and indifferent streak in like that, somewhere He's not safe investment

A Phoenix Market

Newspapers as a reue, seldom refer in their editorial pages private enterprises in their com munites unless they of such character to affect disastrousy benefcally the people of the community. In such the enterprise assumes d public or least, semi public character This shall be our reason speaking at this time of the market building proposition which has been fully described, from time to time in The Republicans news columns
 Briefly it is proposed to erect a substantial three-story building, occupying about half block on North First street Polk. The build ing with the ground, will represent investment of nearly $4O0,000. The money for the building itself will be brought in from the outside for this is not a stock selling enterprise The upper floors of the building will be devoted to hotel purposes, while the first floor will be used marketing place. where producers may deal directly with consumers. Espe cial attention be given inspection and santa tion.
 But it is the effect of such enterprise upon the agricultural development of the community, of which We propose speak. We all agreed that what we need than anything else is intensive farming in the rich Salt River valley, especially in those sections of it to which the larger towns accessible

Our Firing Brother

we cdHHOt Hep tnlIhlHS tudl our contemporary, the Tucson Citizen means to be fair, and that it's those the head and the heart; that such wrong conclusions it has reached ally follow it's misconception of facts The Citizen in recent number declared that Mr. Heard, the principal The Republican, dictated the nomination of George U. Young for governor The Citizen should know that MT. Heard was not in Phoenix at the time the of MT. Young to be a candidate for governor secured, and he has since been in Phoenix though he will earnestly support MT. Young and would have been glad to know that he would be candidate for gov ernor. MT. Heard with many other progressves. had solicited the consent of MT Young to be candidate because he was a strong man and a good progressive
 The Citizen too be entirely ignorant the relations which existed between this paper and MT. Young, of whom it speaks the "protege of MT Heard" It is unnecessary to say to those who know him that George U. Young is the protege of nobody, but is capable of caring for himself. The Citizen must know that The Repub lican did not support MT. Young for mayor of Phoenix, notwithstanding, We have said, he is good progressive, but this did earnestly SUD- port Judge E. w. Lewis, with whom it had political sympathy all and other relation that would have induced a partisan selfish interested support. The Republican believed that the out set of the form of city government the mayor should be accomplished lawyer, in addition to possessing other necessary qualifications. In that respect The Republican believed that Judge Lewis the better qualified. In stating it's preference for Judge Lewis as candidate for mayor The Re publican recognized the claims and ability of MT. Young and expressed then hope that it might have opportunity to support him candidate for a high place in the the nation.
 We would call the attention of the Citizen another in which it persists when it says of MT. Young's official acts: Young had hardly been in the office (of mayor) week before he brought out an ordinance mulct the business and wage-earners Phoenix by placing them license and vocational that threatened to put them all out business
 Reference is of course, made to Ordinance No. 6, which, with all it's faults. did impose tax of penny on any wage-earner the Citizen ought to know. It ought also know that the objections of the merchants received attention by the mayor and the commission The merchants threat ened no referendum but satisfied with amend ments already agreed upon. The only opponents ot the ordinance who refused to be appeased were cer- tain hotel keepers and restaurant proprietors en- gagged in the almost unrestricted sale of intoxicating liquors.
 It is upon these errors that the Citizen rests it's opinion of Mr. Young and the relations of Mr. Heard and The Republican with MT. Young. We think that when the Citizen has been brought fully to realize that it is in error it must revise its opinions and conclusions.

The United States government has just ruled that during the summer steamers on the American great lakes need only carry enough life boats for half their passengers. Whether the gov ernment considers summer excursions as superflu- ous populaton-Or whether it figures that half the travellers would be able swim across the lake in case of trouble is unknown. We will discover the reason for this decision just after the fist big steamer goes down leaving half of it's passengers safe and sound in the only six miles from shore
