The most disagreeabe man on earth is the one who wears his dignity On his sleeve and always feels he must live mp to its prominence Yet there good many people this country of them in Congress, who would make our government just of that sort
 This has been most in evidence during the debate inc repeal of the tolls law again bobs fin opposition the agreement pay Colombia her former rights in the canal zone. They say the price s25oooooo. is absurdy high but serious than this is it that any payment is confession that the United States was in the wrong when it secured the canal strip
 The price be paid is all question of judgment and of buying ability It is not so much what Colomba's claim is actually worth it worth nothing intrns cally but it is what is worth and what will satisfy Colombia
 Many a man has paid good money under similar con- ditions to preserve friendly relations, a for ap pearance's sake to any possible criticism of mo tive and for that satisfaction which comes from mag uanimty that may be olassed oyerhonest.
 There has been little attempt deny that the United States got Che canal by purchase from Panama after first helping Panama get title by gaining her independ ence of Colombia. There was nothing done that need be denied We helped ourselves by helping Panama and have seen to it that 1t was good thing for Panama
 Colombia had played dog in he manager and merely the victim Of her greed and unfrendliuess But we repaid uufrendliness with unfriendness it then the only way out Now afford to be generous, to regain entire good feeling before the world as quits or more than quits from every point of view.
 The settlement with Colombia is merely in harmony with all our international policy. It is preserving Of real dignity not sacrifice of any but false ostentatious dignity.
 Moreover Colombia is to use this money in ways that
 ert-t -,to1Te- [ is to deepen and improve harbors, to make port cities sanitary and build railroads. All of this will help our commerce and the money Vin flow back in an in- creased volume of trade well in an increased friendly regard from all the southern countries.

ARIzoNA's HISTORY

Teachers in the Phoenix pubh2 schools have signihed their intention of appearing before the next legislature ask for an appropriation the publication of history of Arizona Assuming that the reques; carries with it provision for authentic and comprehensive history of our State to revised and ndorsed by competent au thorty public sentiment should get behind the move ment and push forward completion Local educators aver that is history of Arizona suitable for use in the public schools text book which would supply this information is relatively essential in the education of the children of this State book now provided for the school curriculum.
 Perhaps no State within the union has more in sructive history than Arizona; certainly none more coIorful It's story is alive with human interest; with the struggles of men possessed of unusual vitality who accomplished things in spite of tremendous handicaps When consideration is taken of the obstacles encountered by the pioneers of Arizona their achievements not surpassed by the rai-bazers and iudustryormers of any State in the union. Study of the characters and deeds of these rugged forceful could not be other wise than potent in forming the characters of Arizona school children There is as much inspiration to be had from the history several of these Arizona po' neers as from national heroes whose names are more widely known because they have been more widely eT- plotted.
 State pride is only short remove in excellence from national pride State pride is #epping stone to national pride An history of the State placed in the public schools the sole medium for the general dissemination of that healthu knowledge which pride feeds The child who learns of Arzonas proud history will develop love for his or her native state that can be suggested and nurtured in other way. Boys and girls will hold a proud boast that they are Arzonans They will be more content to remain in Arizona to carry on their life work and perpetuate he gores of their State
 series admirable articles appearing in the Arizona Teacher might be incorporated into such historical publication as would serve text book The author is State Historian Thomas E. Parish Whether the worF as compiled by him for serial purposes is available fol school use is a matter for the decision of proper authorities
 It is certain that the State could make better edu cationa investment than placing history of Arizona in the public schools

 George w. Perkins, chairman of the National Executive Committee in his statement to the newspaper de- oared that it was not in the power of the Progressive leaders to amalgamate the Bull Moose party with the Republican party SO long the latter organization was dominated by it's present leaders.
 "There can be no amalgamation of these two forces SO long as Penrose Barnes Cannon and such domi- nate the Republican party" said Mir Perkins.
 "Our fight with the rank and file of Republicans. Hundreds of thousands of these men progressive and do the right thing for the country It is utterly impossible for them to do this with the present forces in control of their party In all parties Che rank and file are progressively inclined. It Is the leader who stands in the way
 Mir Perkins was asked what he thought of the idea Mir. Roosevelt seeking the Republican nomination in 1916
 How can he do that unless the Presidential primary laws extended to most of the states?" he replied
 What would stop the present leaders of the Republican party duplicating their of 1912? There is but one they couli nominate and that would be Mir Taft They said b 1912 that he was the one They said he stood for the principles they did. Principles don't change They would have to nominate him again.

THE BULL MOOSE STAND,


 There seems to be the same determination among the Bull Noosers in Arizona as in other States to decline mediation with the Republicans until the c. O. F. casts o its present leaders Hostiites continued not SO nuch because of party lines and party principles as be- cause of men Followed to its last analysis the Bull Noosers would subscribe to reconciliation if Theodore Roosoyet could be installed as dictator with unchalenged authority This might or might be had but leaving consideration of Colonel Roosevelt out of Che question does true merit attach in which men instead of principles are emphasized? It is axomauo that a man is no bigger than the thing that he stands for puu Moosers no longer take active issue against ue Republican party under its reconstructed platform The c n of 1912 bears little semblance to the c.

COMMISSIONER JONES THROWS GAUNTLET IN RING OF POLITICS
COMIsIONER JONES' %. ... %. JONES SAYS HE CAN GO ANY. WHERE HE WANTS TO,
 ANY TIME.

PHOENIJ. May 5.-Not denying or for his action, Corpora ton Commissioner F. A. Jones has returned from Washington, where he appeared before the Sc ate Commit tee on inter oceanic canals and pro tested against the repeal Of the free Panama tolls clause.
 Jones went to Washington without the knowledge or consent of Com. missioners W. P. Geary and A. w. Cole C. H. Akers formerly Jones close friend but now his bitter emy. has stated in his paper that the com missioner probably would be asked to explain his unauthorized junket
 There is nothing Co explain. Jones says. He considers free tolls of great importance to Arizona Moreover, he had business at the capital in con necton with railroad rate quesuo g.
 Jones takes the stand that as rall- road rates from the east to the west ern coast are based on the cost of water transportation. and rates to Arizona are based on those to the coast. a reduction in the cost of water transportation will mean lower freight rates for this State The lOngand- short-hau basis of rate fixing is ow well established he says. If the rail roads reduce their transcoutinental rates they must reduce Co Arizona in proportion
 In his testimony before the conn mittce Jones declared that the actual toll on freight passing through the canal will not be SIPS a ton, but something like S25O A "ton' does not mea 2O0O pounds, but loo cubic feet of space When merchandise is carried it is not often possible Co crowd 2000 pounds into JLat space
 Commissioner Jones states that the oil rate fight must be fought all over again. This time the railroads will ofer a much more stubborn resistence than before
 In January the Interstate Commerce Commission issued a sweeping order reducing rates O petroleum and pc troleum products, including gasoline and kerosene, from both eastern anc western points to Arizona. In the ease of disullate. for instance, the reduc ton was more than fifty per cent That order was supposed to go into effect April 10, but the railroads sue ceeded in haH the case reopened This means a rehearing the date loi which has not been fixed

MRS. R. A. sELwAY DEAD.

Mrs. Richard A. Selway died very
suddenly at her home in Albuquerque
New Mexico, on December 8th. As
Josephine Reynolds she was well known
to many readers of the Telegraph
Courier, who will regret to hear of her
early death. Mrs. Selway was the
youngest daughter of John Reynolds,
{deceased). She was born at the Rey-
noIds home in Pleasant Prairie, Wis.
May 18th, 1874. After teaching two
years in Kenosha county she accepted
a position in the public schools of Chi
cago, where she taught until her mar
riage, November %, 1901, to Richard
A. Selway of Montana, where they
made their home until her i'll health
compelled them to move to New Mexi-
co, where they have resided for the
past nine years. She leaves her hus-
band and one daughter and a large
circle of sorrowing relatives and
friends. The remains were brought
back to her native state and on Mon.
day were laid to rest, by friends of
her girlhood, with her parents and
grandparents, in the City cemetery.

When the ice harvest opens which will
be very shortly il the cold weather
continues, there should be no men out
of work in the city or county. Thous-
ands of men are employed in the har-
vest annually and the managers of the
big ice companies have always shown a
willingness to give local labor the pref
erence whenever it was possible to get
it. There should be work for every
body when the harvest begins and the
city officials should tack the matter up
with the ice company officials at once.
We believe that the ice company man
ayers will be ready and willing to get
as many men as possible in this county
instead of bringing them in from the
big cities and there are undoubtedly
q lot of men in Kenosha who would
take a job in the fields if they could
get one. Kenosha could not Of course
supply anywhere near all of the men
needed for the harvest but the men
from this city who need work should
be given the preference.
