THE WINTER STUNT
By Walt Mason

The furnace is yawning, the coal dealers fawning around for a share of my trade; and soon I'll be spend ing piasters intending. for coal of which clinkers are made. Last April how gladly. how merrily, madly, I slut the old furnaces door, and cried. For a season there will be no reason to gorge you, you rusty 'Old bore! No more must l, daily" I said to it, gayly, "come here with T scoop in my hand, and fill your steel belly with coal that is smelly, diluted with sulphur and sand." But now to the cellar I go like a feller whose spirit is broken and crushed, a soul-weary toiler to see that the boiler is blackened and polished and brushed; to clean up the damper and fix and reV2mp her, and tinker a while with the grate. the mica door spongin,' and sweeping the dungeon, where shortly they'll dump in the slate. The furnace is yawning and soon I'll be pawning my watch for the price of the coal: ah, winter is bitter, it putteth a critter so deep in the dodgasted hole

 But the country suddenly saved by the European which automatically raised a tariff wall about this country. It made difference then whether had trade a prohibitve tariff by legislation. Millions of European workmen preparing break the tariff barrier which a democratic congress had weakened partially destroyed suddenly called field became consumers of producers. The con- tents of the granaries Canada which ing pour into this country diverted by the need of the allies. War orders started many of factories anew.
 But the last will prob ably end next year, and when ends orders will cease, and the millions European worlmen released from the trenches will be feverishIy at work regain their their place in the industrial world. We will have through loans much of the worlds gold Europe will need that more than anything else and Europe will get back by selling things at prices below a which they be produced in this country. The automatically erected tariff wall will vanish auto matically with with the suddenness which the walls of Jericho thrown down.
 How" asks MT. Perkins, are we to be pre- pared against industrial nvasion?" It is surely more imminent and certain than a warlike invasion. The question is answered by the speaker; by the appointment of "a non- partisan scientific per manent tariff commission which will be in constant session, taking the tariff, item by item without regard whether it should high low purely the basis of what equitable right for ali parties concerned, proper reciprocity with other countries" It may be said that the chief function of this commission should be be stanty guard to prevent repair breaches in wall
 It is not necessary, believes Mr. Perkins, recall the republican party power to prepare against industrial invasion. It might, indeed, be too late, for such relief would o+tanable before 1917, and the invasion may be begun before that time. He says: Why tcmporze any longer with this great question? Why and settle it and do this by all joining together, regardless Of party ties affiliations by bringing the right of intelligent arguments on congress in such way that will dispose matter this coming winter"

How Expenses Are Kept Down

The Prosperity Republican National Magazine for October has article by President Ralph Peters of the Long Island City Railway and chair of the railroads committee railway pay, showing how the railroads are mucted of large and almost unbelievable every year dealings with the government. How much they lose in carrying the parcels post traffic nothing is no means of determining, while the govern ment keeps 9 record o number of parcels it handles and points to it with pride, does bother with a little thing like weight of the parcels. It is known that the the roads carried 40OOOOOO0 such parcels so that it's loss in this item alone is reckoned where in the millions. Another loss gov ernment's system of weighing the mail for which pays-once every four years-thc pay the roads for the next four years after weighing being mated that result. The loss of the in car ryng the increase of tonnage that time has been estimated by Tr M O. Lorenz associate statistcian of the Interstate Commission at s92OO 900 annually.
 The government pays for the opera ton of travelling postoffices postal cars used exclusively for postoffice business But tte of combination cars, that s apartments in baggage cars. arranged just like postal the government nothing. There more than 42OO of these apartments in use, fitted up and maintained at the expense of the roads. Dr. Lorerz estimates this loss of the roads $S.7OO.OOO annually.
 In thousands of instances. though not in all cases poStofflce departments practice requires the roads to carry the back forth between postoffces and railroad stations, which service the government pays nothing. The departments estimate of the value unpaid service is $210000O annually.
 It is said that duties the roads are called upon to perform without pay constantly ncreas- ing that between the years 1907 and 1912 though the postal revenues increased s63OOOOOO the roads compensation was reduced almost s3O5OOO
 We do not ErOU vrhe correct not. but they have the authority of the Interstate Commerce Commission that we feel at liberty to use them in adverting another ter the claim that the postoffice department supporting. This claim first made by Post master General Hitchcock, and used in the republican campaign book 1912. A similar claim has lately been made by Postmaster General Rure- son, but account of the peculiar keeping methods of the p0stoffce department now is not quite determined whether the postoffice department has small surplus or a large deficit.
 However, the point which we are aiming is this: that if the government n way or sn- other shifted the expense of the operation the department upon the railroads the of $l2000000 or s150o0,OOO annually, ought be at least supporting. If it would go farther and' reduce the salaries of postmasters clerks to it actually pays none, only nominal rent) it ought to be important revenue producer

WALL STREET

Wall street was originally a proper name denoting street in New York City. Now il is an improper name used generally as an epithet.
 The real Wall street is situated in New York City, midway between the club district and the bread line. It is the popular thoroughfare to each of these places and is always thronged with travellers fighting to get to one destination or the other. It is named Wall street because so many people go to the wall there. It is a short, mar row street, about two blocks long, three blocks high and so narrow that thousands of people are squeezed every year trying to get through it. It is the crookedest street in the world Sometimes it has as many as half a dozen corners in one block.
 Along Wall street are the stock ex- changes and the office of a great many permanent and temporary rich men, all of whom are engaged in watching the prices of stocks and wondering whether they will buy a new automobile or pawn the old one that evening. Riding up and down the elevator of prosperity is the fla vorite Wall street occupation. Here men do not take the time to climb the ladder of success. They use a balloon and the man who carries a parachute is a piker.
 Wall street is the second largest menagerie in New York. It is full of bulls, bears, lambs, wolves, sharks suckers and octOpU6es, while more than once the elephant, the donkey and the tiger have been caught fool ing around here. Contrary to popular belief, it is also one of the greatest manufacturing districts in the world. It turns out @ corporation every day, a millionaire complete, every hour, and Q job hunter every few minutes. IL has made one or two presidents and a large number of senators have it's name plate on their togas. It is also the most completely equipped crisis in full working order on twenty four hours notice.
 Wall street has been accused of great many sins, most of which are sins of commission. but it is not as bad as it is painted. It does not work on Sunday and it saves a great many foolish young men from becoming and getting the gout Wall street is also very religious. The members worship the Lord on Sunday and J. P. Morgan on week days. Moreover, we must not forget, beloved readers that it was Wall street which gave us President Roosevelt by in terring him in the vice presidency. 1 This alone should make us think very kindly of it and patrOnize it whenever we are in need of walls

TWO MEN WHO WROTE IN BED

Weir of Hermiston," Robert Lotus Stevenson's last unfinished book. was written in bed, or rather dictated to the novelist's devoted wife. "Katriona' too. which is the sequel to kidnapped, written about the heather-clad hills or the highlands on the tropical island, Samoa. was mainly written 'in a re- cumbent position" for it is certain that long before his early lamented death Stevenson spent much of his time on his couch, working to the very last hour of his life.
 Mark Twain wrote nearly afl his later books in bed. So persistent slug gard" was he that he had a specially contrived bed desk fitted up, so that he could write without trouble or exertion while propped luXuriously among his pillows.

DOGS ArTAEEAIR

To the Editor of The Republican, Sir: In the role of a winter tourist. Phoenix to all visitors is big and agreeable surprise The Salt River valley, with its vegetation, fertility and most wonderful irrigating system, is all very pleasing and greatly admired
 Back where We live however. at this time of the year fairs are engaging the attention of every community, and it Is a source of pleasure to see the same spirit of cooperation with it's advance ment and good will that is being shown here. Chiefly interesting to me is ihe dog show feature. We in the East are accustomed to high class. exclusive events of this kind, but this especial department is even at times neglected at state fairs. However here l find the 1alr featuring the pet stock on a par Wltfh the other strong features.
 This in itself indicates q big. broed i'ea on the part of the management. Every one has breed that they fancy. and as mans best animal friend the ca nine stands preeminent.
 This idea Cf bringing a knowledge of breeds and high class dogs to the lay- man Is right in line with all other ad- Vahced scientific animal husbandrv. A breeder of high class horses. cattle hogs or sheep always commands your attention and your admiration to inst the degree of success he has attained Car you imagine a man who has given tune and money to breeding high class 'lcr5eS, mules or cattle, owning a mon erel cur?
 Very truly yours,

 Men from California say Coles hobby is helping others: He is the man who gave Jess Willard his big start toward the worlds heavy weight championship by seeking him out and supplying money for him to go and sign up the Jack Johnson fight.
 Cole knows a slough of world famous people, some of whom are almost always to be found at his beautiful home in Pasadena. He and Mrs. Cole have lived here in elegance, yet in the greatest simplicity. Both have been lionized since the fact of his close friendship witt Mexico's First Chief" leaked out.
 Coles work for Carranza has brought mention of him for ar ap- pointment to a prominent diplomatic post under the American Govern ment, where he may yet be power for American prestige.

unpreparedness for Peace

Our country is as unprepared for peace for war the startling statement made by George W- Perkins before the convention of the iH-nIers Club SdianaDois a couple of weeks ago There is no more far-seeing this try than Mr. Perkins and very few so familiar with the countrys conditions After describing and illus trating the recent frightfu results of unprepared- the humiliation of China. a of unprepared- ness, Mir Perkins turned the subject of the un- preHareiness of this country for peace; not peace within its borders but the peace that will fol- low the great war.
 Mr. Perkins stated a fact of which are cog rizant, that when the broke business of this country rapidly shutting down Factories closing and thousands O were thrown out of employment. An industrial depression already SCI in- l. had been gathering force years because of the construction placed upon the sher- act IL had become necessary that business of the country should be done a large scale. but business did know how they could do it under the law.

CAPITAL PUNISHMENT

To the Editor of The Republican.
 Sir: The trial juries in some counties in Arizona seem to have effectually abolished capital punishment I think this is true of practically all the min ing counties. I get this impression from some late observation and ex- perience.
 It seems that a feeling against capi- tai punishment has within few years become general in this state. The bowling of the last lobby here for capi- tai punishment, and other things has given it an odor of Stop, thief The clamOr here for the blood of a few worthless MeXicans is of a piece with Dame Quickly's fuss in urging the of ficers, Fang and Snare, to arrest Sir John Falstaff for a debt she said he owed her: Do your offices, do your officers, Master Fang and Master Snare, do me, do me, do me your of fees"
 The whole law of capital punishment has become almost q dead letter. In the last hundred and fifty years it has been reduced in England and this coun- try from 262 capital offenses to nomin- ally two, treason and first degree rlur- der, but really to about ten per cent of only the latter. Who has been exc cdted for treason in this country since l1S9? On this point just compare Ba- cons treason in Virginia with Davis and Lees treason there.
 This general doing away with capital punishment is a resultant of all the humanizing forces of advancing civiIi- zatiOn.
