NO ONE IS ASKING FOR THE CHANGE

Attorney -Cenefdl McEeEnOldS insists that the Southern Pacific dispose of it's practical ownership of the Central Pacific through the sale Of it's stock which be taken up by those entirely dis connected with the ownership of the Southern Pacific, stockhoder of the latter being per mitted to buy share of the stock the Central This strikes us as q very large order-one impos- sole Of fulfiliment Even supposing that the stock could be transferred temporarily the outside persons there is nothing in law business operations to prevent other changes ownership which would practically present condi- tons. This effort by mandate of courts opera ton of law check change the normal flow of business is destined to fail,
 No is asking for this change except the attorney general The business of the Pacific be unit against the proposal They possible good resulting to themselves. It will not result in lowering passenger freight rates It will add nothing to the service given. The supreme permitted the Union Pacific to get control of the Central Pacific if it could, but it found that it could do Should that be accomplished by the orders of the attorney general it would make difference in the situa- ton.
 The unpleasant part of the whole proceeding is that in it's essence, it is wholly academic that it promises substantive good to any one. In the meantime it results in unsettling business, in crip bling the activities of the railways, which the people who employ them. Although much made of the fact that the Southern Pacific egg was unscrambled few years ago. not single benefit to any one has been disclosed If the gov ernment is going into railway regulation it should always be on the constructive and the destruc tive side.-Philadelphia Inquirer

The Eleventh Hour Circular

The folly is amazing, of those who think they know how ito do politics. and to such moth eaten tricks issuing scurrious circulars the even of an election. attacking the character and motives of those who opposing them. There time when this of thing was more less effective That when ignorance and pre- judice widespread and prevalent than they today. But in this day of general ntelIi- gcnce. when the people understand that they the rulers and must guard alike against the dema- gogue and the boss they look with suspicion upon eleventh hour political attacks "Od Man Anony- nous has always been conceded be a coward and coward is generally liar.
 Therefore, if the matter contained in one these beated circulars actually true the first belief of the public would be that it untrue. Men who really know how to do politics understand that and refrain from the circular not because they have restraining scruples but because they are wise enough to know that that form of dis honesty is unprofitabe.

1t Will Be Done Tomorrow

Something will be done tomorrow that cannot be undone for long time. It may be so well-done that we will want it undone and it may be so badly done that will regret it for year, when we can then only partially mend it. the effect of it would be felt long afterward. We are apt to make mistake in only way-by inattention, by negectng go the polls If there is good attendance there, say by 1000 voters feel con fident that there will no mistake.
 The people have had opportunity and We think that most of them have embraced it, to consider fully the claims of all the candidates and We have so much confidence in the judgment of the people that believe if they to the polls they will the right thing.
 We appeal especially the business men, the householders and the voters, for they are the ones who will profit the good gov ernment and will suffer the most from bad gov ernment All the self-interested voters will be the polls Every rounder will be there, not only to vote but to work Every man who hopes poets be appointed to office regardless of his qualification for it will be there and not one of them will vote q candidate because he believes him to be the best man Every machine politician will be there who he believes will allow a political machine to be constructed within the city government The votes of these men must be offset by the votes of business men, women and workingmen; workingmen only for city jobs but workingnen who take part in the building of more houses who d larger field for constructive effort, who something to do with new and growing industries and in the construction of d greater Phoenix.

WOMAN AND HER VARIED WALKS

Have you stopped to think just how wo- walk has been affected by the different fig in the epochs of fashion? Our great-grand- mothers had queenly carriage Walking with them art IL evident enough in those days that they were not spneless women. They carried their heavy brocaded satin velvet gowns with stately grace and dignity This fall would apply the word stately to the carriage of the fashionable
 During the days when the uncertain behaving hoopskirt reigned walked timidly They took little mincing steps, and poets spoke of their feet like little mice stealing in and There a certain demureness about the walk in the days of crinoline. It then that the hands rided folded for the excellent reason that it was quite impossible carry them any other way.
 These little steps again seen during the reign of the hobble skirt, but then there shyness in either carriage or demeanor. The wide nlaited skirt made it possible for long stride, but it's great drawback heaviness, and there were many women who burdened with the weight of their skirts, that it almost out of the question take any steps at all.
 There a time when every sort of walk threatened go out of existence. This was when the first yard-wide skirt put in an appearance and the taiors and dressmakers had not yet thought of the helpful slash Women hopped, tripped. stumbled, gave little curious jumps and got all tangled up generally but some of them at this period walked along if they enjoyed it.
 Of course the slash decided help. At least it made real walking a possibility. but the attitude of the average toward it was most interesting to note. She recognized at that it life sever. but the other hand her own innate modesty compelled her at first to look at 1t askance. Then she tried it timidy and in its most inconspicuouse form. Since then the slash has to the of it's extremes and now. like every other good or bad fashion, the reaction has set in and the slash is beginning to disappear
 It is interesting to speculate just what effect the new figure, in the g-top skirt will have on the walk.-Grace Margaret Gould in Woman's Home Companion

At the age of 23, Swinburne sent to study history under Bishop Stubbs who then a vicar in charge of country parish in Essex. He rived on Saturday, and excused from attend ing Sunday morning service the ground that he tired from his journey.
 He breakfasted in bed, but finding it glorious morning, he arrayed himself in scarlet slippers and a light crimson dressing gown. Thus attired he sauntered into the garden, and leaned pensvey the gate, with his red hair Haunting brilliantly in the sunlight.
 The church bells were ringing and the parish toners had all to pass the parsonage to get to the church. But of them dared pass the flaming appartion, and all to halt. The church bells stopped ringing. but at the request of the vicar who could not believe that all his parish toners had deserted him, they rung again
 At last the boldest in the village darted past the gate, and the stampeded at full speed after him. while Swinburne gazed in quiet wonder at their strange way of going to church.-Pall Mall Gazette, London.
