PREPAREDNESS AGAINST PLOTS

IL appears that the United States is even worse pre- pared to with hostile conspiracies than to meet an open foe In the fact of fragrant offenses committed against our neutrality and peace by citizens and aliens the government seems almost helpless There are alien pcpagandas at work such other country would to crate There plots burning and blowing up our ships and factories, for wrecking trains for destroying ali forms of property destined group of beiger. ents, and for assailng even assassnang men in. orested in phase the war order business There aie nsdous efforts many kinds to warge the Euro peaa American soil
 As matter of fact the war has actually been brought 10 America. And America is prevented from dealing with it adequately and eliminating national menace because of insufficient laws It is the first time the UaI,yl States has itself in such situation, and no provision has been made for it.
 H is said that many cases where investigations have definitely established the of criminal deeds against the and welfare of the nation government off cals have found 1t impossible to obtain convictions n der existing Only two federal statutes have been of much in this crsisthe law against the interstate
 of unmarked explosive and the prohibition of recruiting for Of bellgerent powers These laws obviously, but small part of the operations inc government seeks to check
 The of proper investigators is as serious as the lack of laws. The legitimate functions of our federal secret service, 1t appears are confined to protection of the president and the detection of counerfeiting A small sroup of secret service has been detailed to look into the bomb and strike plots. etc., but the great extent and variety such original criminal activity call for large force of trained investigators armed with unquesuonabe authority
 One nhe first things be asked of congress when it assemblies next month is the enactment of set of sta.. utes remedying these defects There will be an effort to strengthen the neutrality in order to bring to account sterny and promptly any alien or citizen who ransgresses; to provide law probably byam endment of the sherman act for the punishment of conspiracies against industries engaged in filling war orders and 10 widen the scope and increase the powers the fedora secret service Then Uncle Sam win be better prepared 10 deal with the enemy already within his borders
 That is the first duty Of congress Preparations against theoretical future enemy comes next

 Nov the view rapidly changing In the last decade or there has been marked improvement in factor. es throughout the United States in the direction of mak ing them more tolerable places to work in The new attitude has been revealed clearly in the answers re- ceyed by the American Museum of Safety to list of questions to industrial firms
 The employers were asked if in their factories they paid any attention the of the walls and ceiling the noise of the machines the lighting arrangements. lunch and rooms good architectural features beaut- flying the factory site with grass flowers etc. and the location of the building with regard to sunlight air and recreation facilities.
 It is easy enough 10 remember a time when nine firms out of ten would have tossed aside questions as silly and impernent But the men to whom they were answered them couueously and in general with u- telIsent appreciation Of their significance

COSTLY coURTsHIP

magazine writer maintains that of the chief req
 sons wh yyoung men don't marry numerousy as they used to is because courtng too much. Of all the exravagances of the present generation
 there's certainly more conspicuous than the ex pensive entertainment which young men feel obliged o give their girl friends It doesn't matter much whether the young mans intentions serious or not he spends his money just the Formerly there wasn' much expected of man. an engaged man. except occas, iona flowers candy or books. But now such things are the least of the mpecunious swains troubles The aters and luncheons and automobiles eat hole into tho most comfortable income And the plumber or the ice man falls for it. less than his richer brethren
 It isn't necessarily dsgruntled males insist
 that girls are more selfish and exacng than they used to be- When an occasional girl of economic instincts insists that shall blow in" his mokey on her she is likely to with rebuff The young man him self expects to spend his money on her; to a certain class of young the class that sets the pace thats what money is for The standard has changed and young males caught system of social obligation that leads man earning s2O week to spend slO en- tertaning girl friend for an evening without feelin that he's done anything absurd-n fact doing it with feeling offs pride that isn't wholly defated by his eating ten-cent lunches till pay day.
 Whether such really scare men out of matri mony is question. Certainly they postpone matrmony somewhat because it takes so much longer to saw enough to start housekeeping But on the other hand young man is likely to conclude won't cost any more to support wife than to keep on good terms with girl.
 As matter of fact the lavish expenditure is usually urailed after the honeymoon has to be- to keep tn, amily housed, clothed and provisioned And the re. renchmen often brings duness and discontent because he transition from extravaganza to thrift is so abrupt

LETTING DETECTIVES DIE

If child is born defective in both mind and body SC tFa it plainly destined to be burden to itself and SO cety, should it be allowed to live?
 Lr. h. J. Haiseden, head surgean of the GermanAmer ican hospital in Chicago has answered this question ia Inc negative And he has the courage of his couvic tions He was in charge Of a boy baby with numbe, Of unusual ailments that would make him an invalid dur ing his first and defective later if he were at lowed to live. The babys parents left the matter in Dr. Haiseldens hands The mother was satisfied t5 and mental cripple And so the surgeon allowed na ture to take its course with the child"
 He did not put it to death He simply refraned from performing an operation which might carry the baby through its first but would be of little permanen, value Soon nature will wipe out her mistake he said And it did The baby He is certain that this ls the best way to deal with all such cases
 Many persons will shake their heads dublousy Jane Addams indignantly voices the traditional view. which is probably still held by the majority of intelligent peo ple that mo human being has right to take the life of another whether defective or not" and that delber atey reraining from any practicable means that would postpone death amounts to the same thing as taking

poyers are coming to see that is profitable to mako their factories light airy pleasant and comfortable be- cause under such conditions hei rempoyees do more work and better work. and do t more contentedIy
 From that view it is only step to appreciation of the fact that the workers have right to pleasant working place that nobody has right condemn them to an ugly and unwholesome environment in the place where they are forced to spend large of their lives
 When working conditions definitely adjusted on this new basis there won't be many problems of cap
 al and labor For people are not only more efficient but less quarrelsome in pleasant environment

COCHISE POULTRY
 SHOW SCHEDULED FOR DECEMBER St
Third Annual Exhibition of the
 CochiSe County Poultry and Pet Stock Association Promis-
 eS to Be Best in Southwest.

December 31, January l and 2 are the dates selected by the Cochise County Poultry and Pet Stock Asso- ! citation, for it's annual show. The as- sociation, comprising of many mem bers, met Sunday night and appointed committees which will strive To see that the 1915 exhibition is the best ever held ia this section of the state
 Two previous shows have been held in Bisbee. Both have been proclaimed as winners. The grade of poultry ex- hibited in each case has been a reve- lation to the spectators.
 To the ordinary man it would not seem that Bisbee, the Warren District. and Cochise couney, as a whole, were the places to make a speciality of poultry. This opinion is proven er- roneous, however when a glance is taken at the exhibitions.
 An excellent line of prizes is con templated by those in charge os the show this season. In 1913 the Copper Queen Company and the Calumet and Arizona Company, desiring to aid in the efforts of raising the poultry in- dustry, gave the association $50 each. The management of both shows has been so conservative and successful that this years exhibition finds the association with s175 in tne treasury. With such a start it is felt that there will be no difficulty, whatsoever, m making the 1915 show the best, with out exception, of any held in this section of the country.
