A Costly Business

The Republican has consistently advocated the amendment, rather than the repeal. of the pending license ordinance for principal reasons. In the first place believed that it formed the basis just and equitable ordinance which would be effected by amendment In the next place, it be- lieved that just and equitable ordinance could be cheaply enacted that way than by beginning anew, abrogating all that had been done.
 If The Republican had been consulting it's financial advantage only it would have joined the repeaers and the abrogators It would have been found urging a referendum and a ordinance to be printed. It would have been money in the pocket of The Republican.
 At the time the agitation for a suspension of the proceedings and for of the pub cation of ordinance No. reached it's height, the legal ten-day period of publication had almost pired We believe that only two days more re- mained cost the city several hundred dollars for the publication the ordinance. Of that The Republican already assured what might be the of the ordinance. If re- pealed. there would have to be the publication of another ordinance which would cost at least as much, and probably more. The Republican believed that such ought not be taken needlessly from the pockets of the taxpayers We believe that the amendments that would every reasonable ob jection ordinance No could be included in brief amendatory ordinance whose publication would than $40.
 The city has been put into this shape by the politicians and by an element which has dared make public it's real objection the license tax ordinance: If the commission. desirous of avoid ing the turmoil a referendum campaign should repeal the pending ordinance, it must adopt with further publication costing many hundreds of dollars, which The Republican will be the bene ficiary If the commission should decide to make stand and refer the matter the people at special election the expense will probably reach 5000. If, then the ordinance should be defeated, there would still ensue the expense of publishing ordi 
 The of The Republican trust that they big enough and broad enough to view these pub lie questions from better standpoint than that of the dollar mark, and therefore throughout this troversy they have supported the amendment method because they felt that that would be a much simple and economical method and would bring equally good results to the people of Phoenix,

AN IMPORTANT CHEMICAL DISCOVERY

The German Chemical Society recently had it's great days The of the occasion Professor Wilstatter of the Kaiser Wilhelm Insti ute for Chemistry in Dahlem Before a meeting of the most famous chemists of Berlin and Germany he able that after nine years of per in solving the mystery of chlorophyl that is the green coloring matter in plants. Not only has Professor Willsatter succeeded in producing pure chorophyll, but he has also been able to build it up chemically. Both n the of fresh and dried leaves it has proved possible lberate the entire chorophyll present in the form of ethyl methyl combinations and, furthermore he has succeeded in synthesiZing chlorophyli into it's component parts that is to say, into chlorophylc acid and al cohol phytol It thus shown that the greens of the different kinds of plants practically den tcaI at least only be divided into two close lY related kinds. According to Wilstatters inves legations, chlorophyll contains magnesium and this fact is extremely important for agricultural chem stry, it will now be necessary to ascertain whether soil contains the quantity of magnesium necessary the development of the life process making for the formation of chlorophyl It is. in fact, impossible to what the ultimate result and effect may be of the discovery of important I development in the housekeeping of nature, and wl1t practical results may attend t. In the of his lecture Professor Wilstatter also tuched another cheIn:cal domain that "f eel lins matter !as ;.'.-rs'ec and made dis TICS. r'n. to Professor Wilsatter, the cOloring matter foundn plants is glucoside, that say compound
 of sugar with a colorng matter group. The color ing matter of the flower and the has proved be almost identical. that of the purple grape bberry different but nevertheless close ly connected merely belonging different methyl groups. As may be imagined, Professor Wstatters communication caused great interest among his hearers it is felt that more important discovery had been made in chemical science.-Contnental Correspondence.

The old maids stand around outside and think upon the yesteryear; each had a chance to be bride, and passed it up for some career. Each was ambitious to be known as lawyer doctor or the like, and dsmally each stands alone ana sees the brides go up the pike From meath the churches spires and domes the brides go forth to normal lives, to make manage happy homes and join the ranks of gracious wives The old maids leave the wedding scene, with hearts that feel as though they'd burst; they fill their stoves with gasoline, and cook their meals of wienerwurst They chose the dross and left the gold, their lives are but dreary blank they have no men around to scold, no kids to cuddle spank. Their eyes full of unshed their hearts of griefs that ever gnaw; their hair is gray their red their temper like saw.

SIMPLICITY BY THE RICH MAY BE
 OBSERVATION

What call simplicity in the wealthy is often the height of vulgar ostentaton. If you offer the wife of rich friend humble bunch of daisies or boquet of potato blossoms, she will let them appear part of the garnure of her table unless she expects college professors poor relations thus showing a tendency to force her ideas of simplicity people who expect quite other things from her.
 If a poet, for instance. presents his poems to the amiable millionaire and the amiable millionaire responds with copy of his early composition all the rules of simplicity outraged The poet receives shock. He is made be less serene He may even be tempted dislike the millionaire which is for the end the fine art of simple
 living is to produce serenity The simplicity of the rich ought to be the exercise the gift of magni- hcence A really rich man ought to be magnificent: if he fails to show this gift, the only valid excuse We ought to is that he overdrawn his in come for charities.-trom The Fine Art Simple Living by Maurice Francis Egan minister to Den- mark, in the June Century

 Austin contains the most expensive state capitol in the nation and probably the most costly building Tn the world. The state of Texas paid about $10O- 100000 for it, though it didn't know it at the time In the early sos the gave acres of land to Chicago syndicate for building the capitol and thought it was getting bargain the land was only worth 50 cents and the capitol is big ger than Detroit automobile factory. But Texas land has gone since then. When the Texas leg isature is in session, Austin contains more large block felt hats and long coats than any city of it's size in the world

 The Pullman company is distinguished for the great number of it's regulations for the guidance of it's employees and these regulations reentlessly enforced. Otherwise it's splendid organization could not be maintained An employe who disregards the important of the rules the company is given short shrift Nobody doubts that if the company should establish rule against tipping, it would be obeyed or if disobeyed the disobedience would be infrequent and surreptitous that the public would not be inconvenienced. Such tipping might be fact is the company has never tried to abolish an evil which it says be abolished.

Paying the Fiddler

"7ie Upon You Phoenix is the caption of q leading editorial in the Bisbee Review dealing with the license ordinance muddle in this city. The Review understands that there is in Phoenix "a dscord whose disconcertng echoes ring throughout the state" The Review has gained the impress sion from the false incorporate and damaging re- ports of the controversy, printed in Phoenix and sent throughout the state either that the commits sioners practcing brigandage to construct municipal improvements which will remain as monuments to their activities rather than as uti- tarian achievements" or that the commissioners dealing with city-full tax-dodgers who prefer to let things drift along in a slip-shod ner in order to escape the proportionatey small expense attendant upon reform"
 Either impression is entirely wrong one but the other must naturally have been made by the ibes upon the government which have been printed home and abroad. The attitude of the citizens and there very few tax dodgers in Phoenix, has been misrepresened in the unfair at tacks which have been made upon the government.
 But worse than all, is the black eye which has been given the commission form of government, which the Review from what it has heard believes has failed in Phoenix:
