The European war will probaly have considerable influence on the coming Arizopa election with refer ence to the vote on initiated measures. Many mines have part tally or wholly suspended operations because of the paralysis of the copper market. This will mean a heavy reduction in the states revenues and there will be. some hesitancy on the part of the voters in voting to increase the states ordinary expenditures. It will also have it's effect on other measures designed 10 change radically the state's present methods of doing business. The. average taxpayer will vote to let well enough alone until business picks up".
 No voter will have the excuse of ignorance in voting on initiated laws after reading the no page publicity pamphlet issued by the state Perusal of the booklet will make it comparatively easy for the discriminating voter to determine which bills should be defeated and which passed. There are mighty few in the latter class.

With loud acclaim, the Republi- can standpatters are pointing to a loss of customs revenue under the Underwood Tariff. Not a word about the income tax, however not a word. Not a syllable about the transfer of this part of the bur- den of taxation from the shoulders of the poor to the shoulders of the rich-not a single syllable.

Some Zones Of Quiet.

For some time there has been In certain
of our large cities movement on foot
fer the suppression of unnecessary noise
aud in many ways the societies have done
good work | am told that It is largely in
consequence of their efforts that quiet has
been established in streets near hospitals,
that the needless footing, of horns or elat-
tering of wagons has been eliminated from
localities where they might do positiVe
harm To invalids. The managers OF tho
society have also endeavored to check tho
over much blowing OF whistles and steam
sirens and ringing Of bells. The business
committees who have charge Of the
churches possessing clock chimes stop
those early in the evening and do not start
them again until late enough in the morn
ing to prevent interference with reason
able amount of sleep. There is even a law
which undertakes to regulate the beating OF
carpets. the noise of the knife grinder and
huekster and other street sounds which
may be deemed not strictly necessary.
But when II comes to the front door
and the back door-of our houses ana apart
ments such surveillance ceases. You may
invoke the assistance of the board of health
TO check music at uncanoncal hours or
the noise of dogs and cats II you don't OBJ
jeet to getting yourself on unpleasant
terms with your neighbors. But have
struggled in vain. on my own behalf and
for the sake OF others, to induce parents
to quiet a screaming child or even to close
the windows OF the room in which the
child walked the midnight echoes.

TSHE other day was the victim of one
of the commonest and most unpleas-
ant forms of neighborhood nuisances.
While the occurrence did not take
place near my home it was an Incl
dent which might have happened there, al
though trolley car was the scene of this
particular experience Just after l had
taken my seat my ears were pierced by
loud scream from 3 year old boy sitting
directly behind me.
Il will get on the other seat! I will.
1 Will" " he yelled.
Be still E" said the mother. You
can't have that seat. The lady has taken
it,"
I don't care! I will have it! will!
1 will"
Stop that noisel" orders the mother
angrily. " Stop it, Do you hear me? Stop
it. 1 sayl" "
I won't! WON'T" 1 want the other
seat" persisted the boy
There is no need in going further with
the repetitions which lasted for blocks be-
yond The child continued to shrek, cry
and fight, the mother kept up her COM
mands and her seedlings while l sat re-
strainng with difficulty the unhallowed
longings to take hold of the child and ad-
minister discipline of the kind he evidently
needed badly.
This illustration of neighborhood nuis-
ance is nothing unusual. If l have in
stanced it | have done so merely as an
example of the sort of thing we are forced
to endure in our vicinity on public con-
veyances, on the street, in shops and places
of entertainment, as we'll as in our homes
when these adjoin the residences occupied
by parents of unruly children.

Nerves of Another Pattern.

l have entered futile protests against the
pet cat which is permitted to make night
hideous on the back yard fence Of my next
door nelghbor. l have besought the owners
of chickens in the vicinity to keep them
shut up until after daylight that my family
might not be aroused by shrill crows at
dawn, and in the country have protested
almost to tears at the noise made by the
COWS and calves in the barnyard. not only
nfter sunrise, but for hours before 1t.
What is the matter with the noise makers
and their associates? Are their ears built
differently from ours or are their nerves
made on another pattern? And even grant
ing this. have they not sufficient Chris
tian consideration to grasp the fact that
others suffer from their lack Of neighbor-
ly responsibility? Isn't there place hero
for a reform and are not we housekeepers
the ones who should organize and start it?

But neighborhood nuisances are by no
means limited to small children. Even
as l write I am conscious of the almost
incessant barking and yelping of a small
dog. l don't know the cause of his dis
tress, 1t may be that he has been shut in
and wants to get out or that he has been
tied up and longs to be loose; he may have
private griefs for which he is seeking ut
terance; it may be that like the whooping
small boy he is expanding his lungs and
exercising his throat for simple pleasure
in the experience. Whatever the cause
hunger, thirst, ennui. or exercise-the re-
suit is the same-the annoyance of all with
in reach OF the sound waves he starts.

Interested parties are trying to establish

missionary way. Even the smallest dona.
