Mir. Bryan Means We'll

For one to entertain desire for peace is com mendabe, but it is not always wise to press that desire upon nations engaged in war without regard 10 It's opportuneness. It is feared that the inn petuosity of MT. Bryan in presenting peace pro- posals has impaired this countrys usefulness as a peace-maker when the proper times comes
 The state department has already taken the matter up twice, though the is less than two months old, latterly reports that the Germans 1t IS said that the British have let known that the activities of secretary of are untmey; there is further hint that he is suspected of hav Ing been urged on by German interests and it has been further hinted delicately as it could be done in diplomatic language, that other peace talk by our peaceful secretary will be regarded as annoying to some very busy people.

The Camel
By GEORGE FITCH Author of At Good Old SiWash"

The camel is combination of all the uglness in the animal world in violation of the Sherman law. He is knock -kneed, -necked hare-lipped. hump backed, spay y-footed, squirrel-to -toothed and worst of all, he smells like Turkish rug in damp weather
 All of these features make the camel a ular animal in the circus and little children clap their hands in glee to him swing his eled -out tail and kneel down by sections like col apsible melodeon.
 However, the camel does depend upon his comfort of the coffee-coored Bedouin and if it not for him the desert would be as desolate fashionable church in August.
 The camel was designed by nature to live in deserts His large, flabby feet hold him up in the sand. His nosrils have automatic shutters which keep out the real estate when it is flying His hide is thick that the heat only burn off the hair and his head is empty that he get sunstroke He is also equipped with water ballast tanks in his interior and soak up enough at drink carry him through prohibition admin every time they go to Missouri because they are cames
 The camel's legs and back strong he carry a large load At few words from his driver, he kneels down, making fuss about it than congress when President Wilson asks it to jump through a hoop. He is then loaded, planing loudly all the time, joint joint curb It is also possible to ride the camel vast almost rough rider the Erie railroad was during the old Jay Gould days
 The camel has bad temper, but it is than other tempers in superheated districts Still should be glad because do not have to use camel for a car

Reasons for American Prosperity

President Herbert Myrck of the Orange Judd company in a special circular gives forty -four reasons why business in the United States must be good and why prosperity is dawning upon the country.

but elsewhere the situation remains neither front has been broken, and all attempts to do this have been re- pulsed, and while the German right may be bending back a little, it is not yet outflanked.
 All this fighting has been carried on in the most eXecrable weather, the continuous downpour. which has so often accompanied a battle, filling the trenches with water and putting I l brake on the movements of men and horses. The Russians are now so sure of Galicia that they are organiz | ing the civil government for the re- zion, as well as for Bukowinai. the Austrian crown land, of which they are complete masters. The Germans retaliated to some extent by pentrating the territory of 1 Sulalki in Russian Poland, farther to the north, but the Russians are con tenting themselves with defending their fortresses until their work in Galicia is completed.

 The Progressives want a national law to put a stop to child labor and we are going to have it." declared Roosevelt The Republicans and Democrats say it is against the con- stitution to pass such a law, but in the day when the constitution was written there was no child labor.

 l ON WHITE LINE
Excavation Contractors and Engineer Want Money for Wages-Men Get No Pay for Nine Days Labor

The operations of the Salt River Valley Electric railway on East Mon roe and Van Buren streets were brought to a summary close when Deputy Sheriff Woolf attached the equipment and supplies of the com pany as they lay along the streets in question, to satisfy two claims, one for Robert Caldwell and B. M. Smart l for eXcaVating work, for $365.75, and another for Robert F. Johnson, for $312.4S. With this information it also leaked out that the manager of the company. which is known as the White Line, was not to be found; his present whereabouts is unknown. l The affairs of the White Line have been much in the public eye of late. The company suffered the inconve- nience, together with the Sherma n interests, of having the street where i they were engaged in putting down the street railway soaked with Wa ter from the fire hose. No sooner was this mud puddle dried up than the men began complaining they were not getting their wages. The week was ended and three additional days, nine in all, put in on the job, but still no money was forthcoming, and immediately the attachment was is lsued '"
 So quickly did the sheriffs officers descend upon the job that the mounds of dirt t~ from the excavation were left without lights and were a menace to the public last night un- til Manager Parish ordered lights placed thereon and stationed watch
 men on the job.
 During the last week the company which announced it's intention oi building to ScottSdale and from thence to Tempe and Mesa, has beer steadily working in local business
 circles in securing bonuses for run
 ming the line by certain property anC through certain sections. How mucf
 money was secured in this way is 10
 known. but it is said in some quar- ters that not sufficient was receive,
 to hypothecate for wages for the Ia
 borers, until more stock could b'
 sold. The next steps will be watched

Automobile Accidents

Not day passes that the newspapers do report accidents in various parts of the country which automobiles have been against fast moving trains have just failed the track in front of engines street We have had within the last week such accidents, in which, fortunately. seriously hurt, though the motor badly damaged. But the aggregate loss of life throughout the country resulting from such accidents is great. Yet the number of such accidents increases.
 There is small chance of motorist escaping when he runs into fastmovng train when the engine of the train crashes into him at the crossing. The who suffers, the members of whose party suffer- is nearly always to blame Railroads doubt times negligent in guarding the grade crossings. but generally the blame in these automobile railroad train col lisions must be charged careless driving.
 We know that here the motormen are extra ordinarily careful and but for their watchfuness there would be many accidents on Phoenix streets Every crossing should be regarded as a danger spot and it is the business Of an automobist ap- preaching it to that train street car is enough dispute the right of way If there is one, the right of way belongs it and the automobile This rule should be so rigdly re- garded that it would never be necessary for men to slow at crossings that vehicles may pass. On a railroad, of course, there is slowing up. There is time for it.
 An ingenious psychologist recently said that all automobile accidents except few unavoidable ones were caused by certain connate, mental defects In other words. there may be intelligent and useful members of society who lack the qualities which make possible the successful operation of a This theory is partly supported by the that thousands of men run motor year after year without single serious accident, while others tinually have trouble and har-breadth escapes
 It is fact that there many clever people that is, clever in many ways, who realize that they hopeless duffers in many lines of endeavor Perhaps, then it is unreasonable to think that many persons lack the ability operate properly motor At present the only qualification de- manded of one who wishes to become an automo- bst is the price of the Is it practical even possible, to weed the incompetents and to de- prive them of the privilege of driving the public highways where they become d to them selves well to others who the highways?
 A casual observer is inclined to think that bad manners rather than incompetency is to be blamed motorists appear have insensate desire to crowded streets make pedestrians jump for their lives and commit other unmannerly acts It is no doubt these persons forgetful of their danger and that of others, that attempt to dodge locomo- tves and street Ninety times in a hundred they may get away with it." The hundredth. time is fatal Are moments precious that motoring must be a dangerous, nerve-racking game instead of a healthful recreation?

Library as Information Bureau

"I read the Helping Hand Corner and often wonder if people who ask for songs. poems, quotations, etc, ever think of making such requests at their public library. or, if they live where there is no public library, if they know that a self-addressed envelope and request sent to the nearest library will bring a prompt reply? Public libraries cannot find wheeled chairs. baby car riages. etc. for people who need them. but they can answer such queries as Who wrote such and such a poem,' or The poem beginning So. let the in- quirers of the Corner make such re quests at the public library. whose business 1t Is to answer them. and let Marion Harland devote her time and strength to other lines of helpfulness.

 Marion Harland thanks you heartily for your solicitude for her time and strength. Also for telling our core spondents where they can get answers to questions the Corner cannot handle. All the same, it adds to the interest of our work to bring together querist and iesPohoeht. 10 ash iIoH iiprarlan copy of an old poem or popular recita- ton of which a member is in need in wolves time, thought. and expense. It is easier to apply directly to the "peo- ples encyclopedia'-the family newspa- per.
