PHOENIX BUCkING YUMA
 ON B0RDERLAND

Phoenix is diverting ali the traffic it can from the Borderlaud Route going west from the capital, and direc ,ing the tourists to go via Parker This undoubtedly means that Yuma, who has s5o0.OOO.OO to spend on roads. will be instrumental in diver;ins their road so that II will go direc; to Tucson thereby cutting out Phoenix. shorten ing the route and giving Yuma what she is entitled to.
 From lh, way PhnenN r. acting in the matter oi discrimination we would not be surprised to see Yuma sit up and take notice.
 One of Yuma foremost good road en- ;husiasts stated here today that she would be heard from on the matter soon.

DOUGLAS JURyMEN

! The Douglas International of yestcr- ! day contained the following item re- garding the Douglas jury men serving or the present panel. and it is quite correct in quoting that Tom bsrone's climate and pure mountain air are making them feel like fighting cocks. '' We note that they are stuck on the Old Camp. and from the small number thus far excused. are loath to leave. FolloGng is he article
 According to Douglasites returning from Pom bstone. the Douglas men now confined there on jury duty are having great time and are making the most of their stay. There Fare al least a dozen of them and they have formed a Douglas colony. They are members of the special venre and Of course are not on duty all the time.
 When mot engaged in meteing out justice to their fellowmen, the Doug laSites prowl around over the hills in specting the old abandoned mines. and tine new ones that are working full blast. There are many spots of TO- mantle interest around the old town aRd these have proven a source of much pleasure to the Smeltermen. The pure fresh mountain air IS invigorating and all the Douglas jurymen are feel ing like fighting cocks. Some of them have even stated that they didn't care how long school keeps"

SOCIALIST PAPER
PLANT BLONED Up
Dynamiting Came On Eve Of
Miners Day-Feared Slur
On Unions.

BUTTE. Mont, June, 1s.-The dy-
namtting Of the Butte Socialist Pub
fishing companys plant early last
Friday caused a sensation as it came
virtually on the eve OF June 13, union
miners day.
It was on that day a year ago that
riots which eliminated in the dyna-
miting of Union hall and the plac-
ing of this district under martial law
occurred.
Someone effected an entrance into
the Socialist Publishing company
plant through read window and
placed a dynamite charge on the
press. 1t was completely wrecked
and the building was badly damaged.
The plant was worth $1,000.

CLAYTON LAW ENDORSED
BY CONGRESSMAN COOPER

RACINE. Wis, June 18.-1n a.
speech on Labor legislation before
large crowd Of unionists in this
city, Congressman Cooper said:
Sentiment in regard to the work.
ingman has changed entirely, as is
evidenced particularly by this clause
in the Clayton law: The labor power
of a human being is not a. commodity
or article of commerce. This senti-
ment will go round the world the
same as Thomas Jefferson's declara-
ton that all men are created equal
and endowed with certain inalienable
rights This declaration now adorns
the walls of many school rooms in
Europe, and has even spread to
Japan
The speaker compared present con-
ditions with those of but few years
ago, when men were imprisoned for
striking. At that time they could OBJ
tain no lien on the property they were
working on, and in Massachusetts
there Is g. case on record Of a man
being imprisoned for debt of 81.

Two weeks ago Commissioner
Silberstein started on crusade
to cut the expenses Of the city by
attempting to discharge without
cause Ruben johnson from the
position Of secretary Of the Civil
Service commission. for which
service Mr.. johnson is paid $50
per month. In addition to this
Mr.. johnson receives $75 per
month as secretary in the health
department Of the city. -. -:
At the time Of. this proposed
change, on the part of the Com
missioner of Public Safety, word
was given to the press that Leon
ard McHugh, law clerk to City
Attorney Greene, would serve in
the capacity Of secretary to the
civil service commission without
extra compensation, thereby saw
ing the city of Duluth 5000 per
year.
Whether the change was an ef-
fort to save the city a paltry $500
per year or whether the main OBJ
ject was to cripple the usefulness
OF the civil service, through de-
stroying the purpose for which
the commission was organized, is
subject of discussion among in
terested parties throughout the
city.
The citizens Of Duluth have ap-
proved the civil service. The
State Of Minnesota has approved
Of the civil service. The United
States government has approved
of the civil service. The civil SER
vice is an important and essential
part of every progressive and i'm

every Interstate and state railroad
commission will tell you, IL they are

bility. AS. long as railroads are. in
private hands; they Will be largely
trolled. by the same people, who con-
trolled our Industrial trusts And as
long as this is true, our railroads and
our trusts will put their = heads to-

batting faster than our. commissions,

can: devise means to prevent the old
ones We might as well look this
fact in the face It, is as clear as
sunlight to every informed and intelli-

the crippling of our industrial sys-
