The highest court OF the nation an

be determined are:
Whether the accident was due TO negli-

persons after collision with small Brit

Banks, is the more recent
The court at that time, the present
Chief Justice writing the decision, was
unanimous in giving the company the
benefit of the United States law.
The White Star Lines counsel also
traces liability legislation in this coun-
try since 1851, when the first statute was
enacted. This was re-enacted in lSi'
and amended the following year to brine
this country's law into harmony with
that of the other maritime nations OF the
world
II was modelled on the existing British
act which was changed in 1852 to hx the
liability of the shpowner at fS ton
unless there were loss of life or personal
INJURIES. in which case the amount was
to be f16 a ton.
In the briefs in the case filed with the
Surname Court It was stated that under
British law the liability is about 1900

occurred with the knowledge OF the
owner.

Since President Wilson has opposed
trusts this combine will be difficult, but

UPLIFTING THE PRINTING PRO-
 FESSION

A meeting of the publishers and employing printer was held in Phoenix last week for the better ment of conditions of newspaper and printing offices in the state.
 It was shown at the meeting that majority of the shops are barely making expenses and that a number of them were running at a loss.
 Col. Bird of the Nogales Oasis and perhaps the oldest editor in the state said that the printer failed to appreciate his own efforts by permitting every person who came into his shop to dictate prices in the fear of losing the job.
 When you go into a store," said the veteran, you do not haggle with the clerk over a piece of goods or ask him to sell you stuff without legitimate profit. Yet we permit some business men to come into our shops and tell us we are charging too much for this or that. The trouble with the newspaperman is that he has not nerve enough to stand up for his rights D
 The aim of the new association will be to lift up the calling to the dignity and nobility to which it is entitled and try and show the public that a fair profit is desired and that without it the newspaper which is a prime necessity every where, cannot exist or prosper.

Woman's Independence Day

Woman's Independence Day was observed in Flagstaff, Satur- day afternoon of last week, in the First Methodist Episcopal church, at 3 clock. Mir. w. w. Shenk was requested to act as secretary.
 The Battle Hymn of the Repub- lie was sung, and MT. Shenk, the pastor of the church, led in prayer.
 Mrs. Anna l.. Staff, represen- tative and exponent of equal suf- frage, gave the address. At the close of her address, the following resolution was unanimously passed, copies of which were or dered sent to our United States Senators and Congressman:
 We, the citizens of Flagstaff, Arizona, have assembled to voice our demand that women citizens ot the United States be accorded the full right of such citizenship.
 We congratulate the four million women voters who have won their right to the ballot in ten states, and confidently expect five more states under the franchise banner after November next.
 We hereby declare that suffrage for women has become national as we'll as a local issue, and we urge our senators and representa- tives in congress to enact Federal legislation that will insure to women equal rights with men.
 We, therefore, ask the Congress of the United States to proceed without delay in the best feasible and practical manner to remove the barriers which prevent Amer ican women from the exercises of the full franchise, and to make our country not government in which half of the people are denied the right of participation, but in truth and reality democracy.
 In furtherance of the purpose of the meeting, the following resolu- ton was also presented and unan- imously adopted:
 I. That we urge the enactment of the same law in Arizona against the Red Light" or segregated district that exists in the State of Iowa, thus in the most effective way abolishing public p-ostitu- ton.
 2. We recommend and urge the establishment of State h. dustrial Farm in behalf of fallen women, the same to be so con- ducted as to assist in the recovery of the moral character oi these women, that this Industrial Farm be located in the central part of Arizona in a suitable farming sec ton; also, that the institution be made economical and self-sup- porting.
 3. And, furthermore, that we urge one code of morals for both men an women, and that such re- strictions be placed upon immor- ality that men shall be subject to the same disgrace which attached to women who violate the laws of chastity and virtue. Also, that public sentiment may be quickened to encourage and help those who have, by their self effort; been re- stored to responsibility.
 The meeting closed with suffrage song, to the tune of America" and adjourned with prayer by the chairman.
 Signed, w. w. SHENK,
 Secretary.

At the last annual statement, in 1913, the national debt of the United Kingdom was s, ,6oo, ,ooo,- 900 and of the United States sI,- o6o, 900, 900. The rate per capita exhibits a great difference; tor the United Kingdom, approximately $50, and for the United States, SIP. On this scale of appraisal the most burdensome debt is that of New Zealand, stated at S375, and Australia comes very close with S27o. The smallest showing is that of Liberia, which owes $500, 900, at the rate of 25 cents a head. Both New Zeland and Australia have been pointed out by government ownership advo- cates as glittering examples of what could be done in the United States. It would seem from this showing that we are doing fairly well as it is.

CONDITIONS IN MEXICO

The condition in Mexico have about reached that stage of affairs where no self-respecting American can say "wait and watch" any longer. The government of the United States has gone to the last extreme in endeayoring to prevent a suicidal war on Mexico, has in every way attempted to assist sev- eral bandits and guerrillas to establish reasonable government. The result has been that our tan colored neighbors merely look upon our attitude of pacifcation with contempt evidently believing that 1t is a result of fear and cow ardice on our part rather than the withholding of the mighty hand of a big brother who would rather see peace and contentment instead of killing off few hundred peons, who in reality do no even know what all the fuss IS about.
 And, in the name of common justice, if it is necessary to go into Mexico to stay the hand of the murderers and pilferers who are draining the last drop of blood and pelf from that land of misery, there should be no halt made until "Old Glory" waves at the highest pinacle of the City of Mexico; no halt made until the great majority of the people are thoroughly con- vinced that the United States of America can lambaste the ever lasting daylights out of the entire country-thoroughly and com pletely.
 The histories of that benighted country still persist in telling what a great victory it accom- plished in making us take Texas, and until the American fleet took Vera Cruz, the tanned natives of that frejolie feasting fastness were given to understand that Huerta had taken all the border cities along the line in the United States. The people of the United States can hardly understand such a con- dition of ignorance and sincerely
