Competitive Business As Uncertain As Horse Race In The Mud

Copyright 1915 by Arthur B. Baker)
 It is not uncommon to hear an excited agitator denounce the profit system" of buSi- ness on the ground that it is a private snap enabling the boss to sit back on the green plush cushions and count the wealth which labor creates for him. The business man, in the eyes and minds of some long-haired and short sighted prophets of the pro- letariat, has a cinch.
 But the main trouble with competitive business is that it is not a cinch. Compared with farming, or working by the day, or lending money, the occupation of the man who embarks in trade or man. ufacture is perilouS indeed. He must make a difficult ad- justment of raw material, la bor, selling power, credit, and a dozen other factors which enter into his game.
 When these factors become uncertain, when credit is the market wild, labor unions turbulent, raw mate rial hard to get or rapidly changing in price, then busi- ness men are troubled with

lack of confidence"

lack of confidence"
 Farmers, statesmen, phil anthropistS, laborers-every- body who does not share the risks may urge the merry manufacturer to fire up and speed the wheels; but to no purpose; he will not grind un- til he feels that he has a sporting chance of making a profit on his undertaking.
 Now, the prosperity of the country depends quite as much on trade and manufac- ture as it does on transpor- tation. If it is necessary for the people as a whole to give the railroads a sure thing" may it not be equally neces- Sary to stabilize trade and manufacture?
 We say to the railroads: Bring on your trains. The government will adjust your rates to protect you against loss"
 But while we are saying it, ten million tons of machinery lie rusting and millions of men waste their lives in idle ness because competitive business enterprise is as un- certain as a horse race in the mud.

INJURED REPUTATION
 OF TEMPERANCE NAN

PHOENIX, Feb. An echo of the prohibition tight began to make itself heard when G. F. Rinehart, super intendent of the Arizona Temperance Federation filed suit for libel against l. F. Wolpe, a local business man, formerly in-the wholesale liquor busi- ness, in superior court Rinehart asks $25,OOO.
 That Wolpe accused Rinehart oF having served a term in the Iowa state prison for statutory offense, and that in repeating the statement the defendant did great harm to him at the time, is part of the complaint Rinehart, leading the fight for prohi- bition, claims that Wolpes statement
 s made because of the bitterness that this fight had caused, and that it was in derogation of his standing in the community for which and in which he was woI king.
 In the complaint, it is alleged that "WOlpe said in July, 1914, e. F. Rine- hart has served time in the Iowa state penitentiary for statutory of fense'."
 At the time of the commission of the grievance, the plaintiff was a mar ried man, and had always sustained a good reputation for chastity and vir- tue in the communities in which he had lived and that he sustained a rep utation at the time of the beginning of the grievance.
 At the time of speaking said words by the defendant, the plaintiff was the superintendent of the Arizona Temperance association and engaged in a campaign on behalf of the meas ure initiated to secure statewide pro- hibition, and that the words spoken by the defendant were derogatory to his character and standing in the position aforesaid and tended to bring him into disrepute and to cause him humiliation and stigma, all to the damage of $2500.'
 The complaint was filed by Attor- ney Robert s. Fisher

CONGRATULATIONS
 FOR SIR HIRAM MAXIM

LONDON, Feb. 4.-Special to the
 Yuma Daily ExamineI-Sir Hiram s. Maxim, who has long ranked as one of the most noted inventors of the pre- sent age, will receive numerous greetings tomorrow on the occasion of his seventy-fifth birthday anniver- sary. Sir Hiram is in the enjoyment of excellent health and vigor for a man of his years. It is said that sinCs the beginning of the present war the opinions expressed from time to time by Sir Hiram have received the most careful consideration in official circles since he is regarded as high author ity not only in the matter of ordnance, ut also in aeronautics and maya. architecture.
 As is generally known, the famous ,lventor is an American by birth and n Englishman by adoption. He
 
 fly and was born at Sangerville, Me :, ip 1S40. Owing to the alleged unfair treatment of his patents and inven- tions in the line of ordnance by the United States Government he took up his home in England in the early sos and since that time has visited Ameri- ca only occasionally on business trips in 1899 he became a naturalized Bit ish subject.
 Maxim left school when he was II ,ears old and was apprenticed to carriage builder. Later he entered his uncle's engineering works al fitchburg, Mass, where his inventive faculties began to develop. His first invention was an automatic mouse trap Later he turned his attention to electricity, and it was as the rep lesentative of an electrical company that he first came to London.
 In 1884 Maxim abandoned electri 5ity and took up machine-gun making, an industry in connection with which his name is best known. He estab ished small works in Holborn in 1884. In few years his firm had develop ed into one of the largest of it's kinC in the world, employing nearly 15,OOO persons and manufacturing about ev- erything required in war, from the liniest weapon to a complete battle ship. The automatic guns which are being used with such terrific effect )y all the belligerents in the present great war are all based on the princi- pie of the machine gun invented by Maxim nearly a quarter of a century ago.
 in 1911 Sir Hiram retired from his active connection with the firm of Sons & Maxim, and since hat time he has devoted his atten- in largely to the development of the | aeroplane. Soon after becoming a | British subject the inventor was made | l chevaiier of the Legion of Honor, i and the value of his knowledge and | ,erVices was further recognized by the | English Crown through his creatio. | s a Knight in 1901.

THREE EVENTS BRING
 ITALY NEAR ID WAR

ROME, Feb. 4.-Three items of the days news directly affect Italy's at situde and strengthen the belief that her intervention on the side of the al- lies is not far distant. These are that the Suez canal is menaced by the Turks, that the government is pre- paIing to enforce the release of the British consul seized in the Italian consulate Hodeida, and that perma- nent customs offices and branches of the government bank are soon to be established in Avlona.
 Probably the advance of the Turk ish army under German officers to- gravest crisis and the intervention gravest crisis an dthe intervention justification that Italy has been wait ing for. Months ago the Italian gov ernmenJ let it be known that inter 'Ip- I)n of British control of the SueZ canal ncGlG be regarded as an act of hostility to Italy, since the security of the canal is indispensable to Italy's communication with her Red Sea provinces. With the canal in Turkish hands, Abyssinia and Eritrea would be cut off If the Turks defeat the British and seize the canal, Italy will go to war. This is the belief of all classes.

DUNDEE AFTER WELSH
FOR TITULAR BATTLE
Manager Would Not Match
Jumping Johnny With
Champion in No-decision Go.

Although Johnny Dundee, dubbed
jumping Johnny" by New York fans,
has appeared in ring combat here In but
few bouts, his spectacular exhibitions en-
abled him to get many constituents in
this city, His settos with Tommy o.
Toole, Harry Tracey, Charley Thomas.
Eddie Moy and George CLANCY stamped
him as one Of the leading boxers in the
country.
Many followers of the fstlc game here
are anxious to see Dundee tackle Cham
pion Fred Welsh In the squared circle.
But according to Scotty Montieth, DUN
dee's manager he will never match the
clever New Yorker with the titIeholder
for a limited match.
Here's the way scotty puts II:
"Of course, Johnny wants a crack at
Welsh and he is sure he can beat Mo-
decision Freddy But It must be In a
2O-round fight with a decision; a cham
pionship fight. I will not match Dundee
against Welsh for a no-decision match.
II Welsh ever had sample of Johnny's
style in n limited CO. he'd never meet
johnny over a longer distance II we
waited until Johnny grew long, white
Whiskers. I don't think Johnny or any
one else can get Freddy in 10 rounds"
