wHATs WRONG WITH MASSACHUSETTS,

The disastrous fire at Salem, Mass. aroused the in. stant sympathy fthe whole country So many tradi tions of our history and literature are associated with Salem that all Americans regardless of origin feel sort Of knship with that community. There has also been natural inclination everywhere to help in the pecuniary relief of the homeless ones
 At the same time, there has been a little surprise at the clamorous appeals of Massachusetts for outside aid The has bombarded congress and the var ious states with requests for money He thinks that SlooO0oo will be enough and wants congress to contr bute oneffth of that
 Most states take pride in meeting their financial misfortunes bnvely. It would be easy to name sey eral commonwealths which, within a few years have faced as great caamtes as this and courteously but firmly refused assistance Massachusetts has the dou be incentive of historic pride and great wealth to encourage her in bearing her own burdens She has an assessed valuation Of nearly s55OOOooOOO and has I427,oOO0OO in the savings banks Her riches are surpassed only by those of York and Pennsylvania Why should not Massachusetts and particularly Bos ton give beraly of her vast wealth for the relief of this cherished little city?
 Therc must be something wrong with the spirit of the old Bay State Massachusetts opposed the income tax long and bitterly the ground that because of her wealth sine would have to pay larger share than most c sister if that fact were not the best of reasons for her paying seems odd that she should now ask help from states which, in comparison with her are poverty stricken.

THE BENEFITS OF MEDIATION.

Anyway, Che AB gentlemen did their best and we're obliged to them.
 To be sure they started with the wrong "hunch" settling the Mexican trouble Their diplomacy too was of the European brand that cares more the phras ing of protocol than gist of the matter and pre- fers compliments to plain truth Uncle sam to beat them over the head with big stick loaded with facts before they would recognize Huerta was Mexico that there were economic and human problems below the Rio Grande and that they dealing with 100000 men and women instead of a political abstraction.
 Nevertheless they were honest they worked hard they finally came to the point and their mediation was really somewhat more successful any of us expected
 For one thing they averted imminent war oejween the United States and Mexico While they talked every body camed down That's the chief advantage media ton-sying nations time to come to their senses h. oryenton may yet be necessary but Uncle Sam at minute isn't hankerng after that job as long as there's any honorable way dodge it. there's any spanking to be done in Mexico he'd rather let Villa do it.
 For another thing they put right with Latin America That volatile section onhe world has never loved us overmuch The "other Americans in general htve hated us bndy feared our Monroe Doctrine and suspected our motives in diplomacy and business. Senator Root secretary of state did much to rid them of their antA ankee obesson but subsequent dc velopments spoiled his work.
 The offer of Che three great South American powers. with prompt acceptance and the dsinterestedness of our demands have worked revolution Of sen timeut There seems to be a promise of a great cohesive America made up of both Anglo-saxons and Latns working the problems of the western hemis phere in harmony
 IT we have really gained tho good will of Latin-Amer- ica any business sacrifices incidental generous attitude during mediation will probably prove to be tenn porag and win be amply compensated by future trade expansion.

1 ls reported that Andrew Carnegie s determined to dio poor and that he prefers to mpoyersh himself by bis ambition.
 l The cities Of the United states arc already pretty thoroughly Canegelibaried If he is to unburden him self the his vast fortunes there must be some outlet
 Phnander F. Claxton, United states commissioner of education has come forward with a helpful suggestion The rural sections of the country offer a virgin field for the ironmasters philanthropy. Small towns and villages seldom have library facilities The great agricultural population with a high average of intelligence and an omnyeous taste for reading is for books while big urban populations are surfeed with them The problem is bring the worlds literature with in reach of these communities. Mir Claxtou has sub mitted his plan Mr. Carnegie and found the latter keenly interested.
 He explained that there were 2OOO counties in the United States with no public libraries and only 75 coun ties where the people have to big libraries To build libraries for all the people who need them would cost from S75OOOOOo to t1OOOOOOo0 Mir Carnegie would probably consent to the buildings if the counties would buy the lots and assume the operating expenses as cities do
 Here then is opportunity for every commun- fly in America obtain metropolitan library facilities Land in small little; the building is the chief item of expense. Any county willing furnish the lot and buy the books and pay the modest salary of lbrar ian probably get from Mr Carnegie building that would be an ornament to the county seat and big factor in building up community spirit raising intellectual standards and keeping the young people from moving away to the cities.
 With that SlOoOOOOOo in sight why wouldn't it be fine idea for the rural counties Arizona to take con cered action along this line help Mir Carnegie get rid of his money?

ure From the house of NOn0ual in the land Of Tulapan"
 The writer tells a legend concern. ing Camel the impetuous ruler of Chichen Itza. who loved the daughter of the ruler of a distant province. One day a runner brought him the news that the Batab of a neighboring and far more powerful province had mar. ried the maiden. Canek and his war. riors went to his enemy's city under cover of darkness, while all was revel. ry there in celebration of the wedding. After venting their fury on the drunk. en celebrants they stole the bride of an hour and disappeared. Never again did Chichen Itza know its Lord Canek nor any of his band of fighters. Years afterward a hunting band from Chichen ltza made a long journey to the south. They finally reached a lake, and in its center an island city. The city was Tayasal and its ruler the now aged Lord Canek
 He also tells of the arrival. recep- tion and subsequent flight by night of Monteio, one of the early Spanish conquerers, in 1925. The spaniards besieged and almost without provis. ions, tied a dog to rope of a bell and placed food just beyond his reach His efforts to get the food kept the bell ringing and deceived the natives into believing their capuves were still there When the ruse was discovered the little band of Spanish soIdiery was nearly out of the enemy's reach The writer expresses the belief that the natives, desiring to be rid of their burdensome guests, shut their eyes and let them escape unmolested.

A COWBOY LODGE.
rid Of his money?

Welcome to tho National Order of Cowboy Rangers! It is high time that such society was organized The cowpunchers picturesque is nearly as extinct as the buffalo and like that lordy animal is now found chiefly in captivity
 We rejoice in the that the cowboy will con. tnue to exist outside of the movies The new fraternal order has been launched Denver Dodge City though missing the glorious opportunity of forming mother chaDter surely enough of the old guard for thriving organization Wyoming Texas and Arizona may provide their quota of live ones with an occasional lodge in Colorado Montana and other states but in gen ea the of the order will depend on the veterans of vanished frontier The roundup has become wheat harvest or potato crop and chaps sombrero and Iarat are relegated to the stage One might grow quite sen mental about it
 The ritual of the order offers an interesting field for speculation. Win the candidate be hauled in at the end of rope and dance fusillade of bullets? wl the password be oldfashioned yell and the hanng sign a crooked elbow? win bucking bronco take the place of a "goat"?

kIBBEY BEING WOODED ARDENTLY BY TWO SUIT0RS
The Elephant and the Bull Moose are Embarrassing Him With
 Their Attentions.

PHOENIX. July 11.-Had Arizona a Mast a Davenport an Opper or a Johnson he would be drawing a car. toon showing Joseph II. Kibbey, his face wearing a look of mortal terror and his hair pointing toward tho north star Around his neck would be coiled lovingly the trunk of lean and hungry elephant and the teeth of an equally lean bull moose would be sunk in the seat of his pants. And the two would be pulling with might and main
 Such a cartoon would accurately depict a political situation that exists in Phoenix today. Kibbey. who real ly does not want to go into politics at alL is being pulled franucally in one direction by the progressives, in another by the republicans
 Kibbey has not forgotten that in 1912 and other year he was not treated with every consideration by the old line republican machine. But he cannot quite bring himself to come out squarely as a bull mooser. though a delegation called upon him in his office and told him to take his pick of nominations in the gift of the Rooseveltians.
 We are holding out Che basket; just take what you want" Bob Fisher said at the time
 First Kibbey was offered the nomi- nation for governor, but he firmly de- clined Then he was told that he could have the nomination for sena. tor This offer he promised to take under advisement and the Progress ives will meet to hear his answer Monday.
 But this did not end the efforts of the Republicans, led by J. Lorenza Hubben, to persuade Kibbey 10 run. for governor On their ticket The day after the Progressiyes called or Kip bey he was called on by at least a dozen Republicans who urged him in every way possible to make the race for governor. They told Kibbey that he was the only man who stood a chance to defeat Hunt that he owed 1t to the people of Arizona to make some sacrifice, that he owed 1t to his friends But Kihbey says that he has made quite enough sacrifices in hia life and does not intend to make any more as serious as it would be for him to serve two years as governor.
 Klbbey would like to have the sup port of both parties for the senate, but a number of ProgressiYes have told him that they cannot supporl even him if he runs on the Republ- lican ticket
 It is doubtful il in the whole his- tory of Arizona. any one man has withstood such insistent important, ties to run for any office Apparently Kibbey has some faint hope left that the Republicans and Progressives will amalgamat6 He feels that with out the support of both parties he can not win But tEe universal opinion now is that the Bull Moosers and the standpatters cannot get together on any ground The Te1uyitss saa that they once offered 10 go into Che campaign on a non-partisan basis, but the republicans immediately swelled up and assumed that the Progressive

OF AMERICAN
 RUINS AS INTERESTING
 AS ARE THOSE ABROAD
Former Consul at YuCatan DeS- CriveS Ancient Buildings and
 Their Fine Architecture.

WASHINGTON July 11.-Edward II. Thompson, former United States Consul at Merida, Yucatan, in a com munication to the National Geograph- ic Society, at Washington, D. C.. des- cribing Chichen Itza, the home of a forgotten race. on the Peninsula of Yucatan. declares that the American people should awaken to the fact that they have right at home architecture essentially American. and ruined structures every whit as interesting and massive and possibly as old as those of other lands, who boast that Americans must come to them.
 Within these mysterious American ruins are great books, with pages of stone. writ in characters that no man may yet read" he declares. Are the mysteries they hold, the wonderful facts that certainly lie sealed and mute within them hidden from us, less in- teresting to Americans than are the tales of Egyptian dynasties, the rites of Druids Roman campings, or Saxon raidings? l think not"
 Mr. Thompson describes what was probably the first tennis or basketball court on this hemisphere and possibly in the world "The ruined group of Chichen Itza covers a space of fully three square miles" he says. cover all this wide territory are scattered carved and squared stones, in count less thousands, fallen by the hundreds while the formless remains and out lined walls of huge structures fallen into ruin are seen on every side Sev- en massive structures of carved stone and adamantine mortar still tower erect and most lnhabitable Their fascades sustain the claim that Chich- en Itzar is one of the worlds greatest monuments of antiquity.
 Several hundred feet to the west of the Castle Temple rest two great par allel moles of solid masonry, each 275 feet long 34 feet wide and 20 feet high. Between these moles is the Ceremonial Court This level cement ed space was probably the theatre for the performance of certain rites and games of a cerimonial character This belief is borne out by the fact that at a distance of six feet from the level upper surface of the mole two great rings of stone were fixed into the per pendicular wall surface, directly op- posite each other"

cases this has met with very gratify. ing success, but the practice is not yet sufficiently general to offset the widespread deterioration
 Fashion Changes Hurt.
 Finally, with all these causes al work to menace the consumption of sea island cotton, changes in fashions and manufacturing methods still fur ther lowered the demand. Length of staple was no longer so essential in the fine goods trade, and price became more important than quality. An in teresting example of this is the change in the cotton demand for automobile tire-cloths. A few years ago the best grades of sea island cotton were con- sidered none too good for this pur- pose. Then came fall in the price of tires and upland cotton was substi- tuted. This has proved to be a very serious blow to the sea island cotton industry.
 Although it is quite possible that other changes will raise the demand for sea island cotton 10 its former proportions, the investigators are not able to advise growers at the present time to increase their production if extra-staple cotton. They recommend that the farmers of any island organ ize for the purpose of growing on a cooperative basis one variety. and they suggest that desirable length for Carolina growers would perhaps be about 1 7-S inches. Such a move ment would enable growers to keep their seed pure and their variety true to type. Manufacturers could rely on uniform quality and length. and the quantity would always be sufficient to merit the attention of large buyers This remedy, the investigators say is the only one that seems to hold out a promise of restoring the industry to it's former prosperity. There are expert cotton breeders in the islands i; good judges of the length and fineness of the lint; good farmers and good planting seed. However. until mar ket conditions improve it seems advis- able that island farmers should turn their attention to other crops. Beef cattle. hogs, dairying and truck farm ing are all possible alternatives. In the meantime care should be taken to raise an adequate supply of pure seed cotton, for use when the price reaches the point that will again make it profitable to grow sea island cotton
 In conclusion, the investigators point out that it is 10 the advantage of the American spinner to have a double source of supply of extra-lone staple and not to be dependent upon Egypt for. these staple cottons. In view of this fact. cooperation between the farmers and spinners should pre- vent the occurrence of any such dead lock as in 1912 and 1913, and permit extra-staple cotton to continue to be one of the chief money crops of the farmers of the sea island district.
