An Interesting Vote
eXceSSeS.

We await with interest the vote in the senate and the house on the adoption of the conference report the emergency bill admitting foreign built ships to American register. We informed that there will be a stubborn opposition in both houses to the amendment, permitting such ships, after two years to engage coastwise trade hitherto a sacred institution for Americans only. We shall like to compare the on this proposition with the vote for and against the granting of free tolls through the Panama canals to American vessels in the coast wise trade.
 Every suspected railroad senator and represen- tative voted against the free tolls proposition on the pretext that it in violation of the treaty. Their co-workers. the administration congressman, voted against free tolls the curious ground that the railroads owned the coastwse vessels.
 Now will the railroad anti-free tolls senators and representatives vote to sharpen competition which may reduce water rates will they rest on the preserved inviolabity of the treaty and the sacredness of our coastwise trade American institution? the administration congressman, will they that the railroad owned ships have been sufficiently chastsed by the payment of tolls and will they believe that the time has come to discriminate between American and foreign built vessels in the trade by excluding the lat sidy which our democratic friends much detest

REcRUDEscENcE OF NATIONAL SENTIMENT
Chicago Tribune)

Ii is the ideals of youth that determine the course of mankind Given the ideals which the young men of country cherish, and the history or that country for the next thirty years until new generation of young with new ideals arises can be fairly correctly foreseen.
 The ideals of the young of Europe and of the world up to within the last fifteen or twenty years have rooted in science and ratonallsr Lar win Spencer and John Stuart Mill were the building posts of part of the young generation saint Simon Karl Marx and Henry George were the prophets of another The young men of the last half of the nineteenth century in the main stood for ideals of liberalism Their ideals were soclai- ized ideals Race ard national boundaries were more or less submerged by the greater cause of humanity.
 reaction from these broadly human ideals to ideals of narrow natonasm is now in full swing in Europe This reaction has caught in it's flood by no means an insignificant part of the population While socialism, with it's preachments of internationaism retains it's hold upon great hosts of laboring men, natonalism is gaining ground among the middle classes And fast is the nationalist movement with clannish divisions spreading that, accord ing to one authoritative writer, Europe today lis organizing itself into two great camps-socialsm and natonasm.'
 The assassin and would ?be assassin of Arch duke Francis Ferdinand of Austria and his wife are the accent,ted expressions this rising national ism in Europe. They show the distinction between the past and the present idealism of youth Tn clear sharp lines. In common with assassins ana would be assassins of royalty in the last two generations the assassns of the heir the Austrian throne have youth and enthusiasm. The assassin, PrinZip is IS years old The would-be assassin, Gabrino- vich is 2 But while the nhilists and anarchists of a generation back slew royalty to further as they thought political freedom, the assassns of the Aus trian prince slew royalty in order to gain king, so to speak-a king of their nationality. The anarchist assassns the past slew royalty to break down social and economic barriers The na- tonaist assassins of today say royalty in order to strengthen national barriers.
 The sentimental nationalism-for that is what it s-which inspired the assassination of the heir to the Austrian throne will, for period at least again occupv of the worlds Ap parently there is good ground for such predic- ton Even the United States may not escape some of the problems created by this sentimental nation alism for it from the countries where this tionasrn is strongest that get the bulk of our immigrants today, and the Amercanizaton of such aliens may prove easy task

MEAT EATER SEEMS PEEvED

AS soon as I can find chef who can make a nut ton chop look like a boiled carrot shall open an imitation vegetarian restaurant and send out men disgushed in sandals and health fiber suits to way lay and bring in eaters. Then we will give them Cambridge sausages disguised as bananas, mixed grills masquerading fruit salads, and chlckens which the vegetarians will think are cabbages, until they get the bones in their throas.-lvan Heald, in the London Daily Express.

HOW COCOANUTS GROW
(Homer Crop in Leslle's)

had always imagined that cocoatnus grew trees just the way them down at the gro cery. but instead of that they have a thick mat around them. It's harder get this off than it is get the nut open. I wondered how my friend going get the hull off when he didn't even have knife. Taking up the nut, he stepped up to the tree, turned his back and with long, powerful strokes began hammering the nut against the bole of the between his legs. After dozen strokes the rough outer covering split enough for him to get his fingers in and pull it off Then the nut began look like the kind Ed Andrews has. Again I wondered how he could get into this, for back home it would be job with saw and ax.
 Picking up pointed stick, he punched out two of the eyes. airhole, and turning up the cocoanut offered drink. It wasn't very fancy, bu. it filling. When the milk was out he took a stone gave the nut few hard blows and the nut opened almost in half. With the sharp edge as though with a spoon-and there it for me to s though he had had a whole carpenter shop The meat soft and slippery, like trying to pick up buttermilk.
 In Missouri I had never eaten them that way for by the time a travels that far the meat is hard and I hurt the mans feelings by telling him that I preferred the tough kind One of the nuts was hard and he threw it contemptuously to the pigs that stood in a circle around us noses in, but I rushed out and rescued part of it in glee lew moments later caught him looking at me as if he couldn't quite make out, man seemingly nor mal-but who liked ripe cocoatnuts.

BATTLEsHPs THAT CAN BE SUBMERGED

The discussion the relative value of dread- naughts and submarines raised by Sir Percy Scotts famous letter the London Times still con tinues. The latest contribution is from Sidney F. Walker, a naval engineer of considerable experience. who urges that whilst Sir Percy Scott may be per fectly in his forecast the naval constructors who believe in a large and powerful capital ship may also be right.
 May it not be possible, he asks that the war ship of the future will merely lie the water when not going into action as the submarine does now. and will be submerged whenever danger arises and when going into action?
 Proceeding, Mir. Walker declares that he is well aware that it is very far cry from the submarines of even the present day to submerged battleship. but he points out that it also a far cry from the pre-submarne days to .he submersble of today.
 The advance of naval engineering. he says has been very rapid during the last 90 years and the great engineering firms are better equipped today for solving the problems that arise than probably any body of men ever Were in the history of the world

To a Misunderstanding Neiqhbor

A great deal of The Republicans time is spent but trust not wasted in setting it's neighbors straight. few days ago this paper took occasion reprove the Douglas International for it's an nounced yellow dog partisan policy. It would stand by the democratic party, right wrong; felt bound to support the candidates of that party re- gardless of its opinion their fitness All of which The Republican thought, smacked of servility rather than independence. No law of God or man requires loyalty to the unworthy.
 The International retorts that The Republican is hide bound, and that it is the last paper in the state that should prescribe rules conduct for in dependent newspapers after having opposed so steadily fusion of the progressives with the pubcans when the latter offered surrender every thing but the party name.
 We have already explained that we opposed fusion because it neither moral nor expedent If the progressives had gone into it. they would not have been honest. and the republicans could not honestly have made the surrender they proposed to make. Such a fusion, moreover, could not have bound all progressive and all republican voters and it could not have attracted any democratic voters. It would surely have repeled hundreds progress sive voters who were formerly democrats.
 The Republican and progressves generally were not hide bound they not stickers for straight progressive ticket. Many favored a genuine non-
  partisan ticket. That would have been both moral and expedient That kind of ticket would have attracted every man. progressive, democratic and republican, who wants a good government and does not believe that the present government is good We expected if such movement instituted, that it would have the support Major Kelly and his democratic associates and believe that they would have been loyal supporters it. But know that neither he nor any other democrat would have supported d progressive republican fusion.
 Again, say that the partisan plan would have been success but for the selfishness of the republican leaders. They would not consent that their party should lose it's identity for single paign They willing to throw party principles everything but the party name-overboard. The progressives willing, for the sake of good gov crnment to lose their identity for years to hold their principles in abeyance
 No other party in Arizona offered to make so much of sacrifice.

Price Regulation

The time will come, We suppose when the gov ernment will regulate the prices of the necessities of life such wheat, bread perhaps meats, sugar and whatever else enters into daily by the age family It will course, be a long step ward such regulation but it seems more probable than it did generation ago that the govern would undertake the regulation railroad rates, that it would lay down rules for the duct of private business
 It is not to be supposed that the government would fix and maintain scale of prices all times, but that it would take the power to do so; such power exists in Great Britain has existed for many years, which the present emergency that government is threatening exercise
 Our government regulations so far have not been of great benefit the people, and primarily intended to be- though the people have been led by politicians believe that they to be the chief beneficiares. Such rules as have been enforced against commercial exchanges have been intended to keep the gamblers from cutting another| throats, matter in which the people large had all Neither the people concerned in the operations of the stock change except so far they disturb the financial current, and the banking act will probably be a sufficient guaranty against such disturbances How many fortunes are made or lost on Wall street by the spectators on the exchange is nothing
 Railroad rate regulation is really only beneficial to the great of the people, in that it gives stability the situation and prevents rze cut ting by the railroads, from which the people at large received any benefit and prevents rate boost ing by agreement for which the people always paid in the shape of increased prices.
 But price regulation is another matter. What benefit would come from that would come directly to the people IA

Watchful Waiting

THE ORIGIN OF SPECIES
(Hugo de Vries in Science)

(Hugo de Vres in Science)
 The idea of the origin of species by eaps and Jumps has the great advantage of answering in an unexpected and decisive way the numerous and in part very grave objections which have been brought forward against the theory of evolution from the serious difficulties which it's adversaries have never ceased to urge against it. The oldest and most serious objection is based the obvious useless ness of new characters during the first stages of their evolution, if this is supposed to be invisibly slow. lmperceptible odors cannot guide insects in their visits to flowers and these suffi- cient advantage in the struggle for life Adapta- tons for the capturing of insects by plants would be of no value in a primary and imperfect condi- tion and therefore cannot be evolved by the action of natural selection. Imperfect instincts would be rather obnoxious, according to Wasmann. and thus would be liable to be destroyed instead by this action. So it is in many other Be- ginning characters would always be too insignifi- cant to be of any value in the struggle for life. Evidently the principle of leaps and jumps relieves us of the necessity of this hypothesis. It does not admit gradual appearance of characters. but these to appear in the full dis play of their development and without the aid of natural selection.

Habits
By GEORGE FITCH Author of At Good Old SiWash"

A habit is action with a self-starter
 Most actions have to be begun by the man who produces them. But a habit attends to the starting itself. It goes wherever it pleases and carries it's unfortunate owner along with it.
 A habit is produced by repeating an action over and over again. Some habits very diff cult indeed to produce It is distressing to watch
