The New Great American Desert

The following from the Christian Science Moni- tor will be of interest to farmers:
 "The prediction that at least 10000 acres in Arizona will be planted with cotton by individual next year gives point to the opinion. voiced by experts that the Salt River valley may become the richest cotton belt in the United States. This land redeemed from the Great American desert by governmental irrigation, is giving ployment great numbers of cotton pickers and is bringing the growers profits ranging from ss5 to slOO an acre. This surely indicates the beginning of a chapter in Arizonas agricultural and indus trial history"
 The figures of the Monitor though satisfactory. the side of moderation. It may be that this year the profits of some of the growers of cotton in this valley will be low sS5 an acre. but that will be because the growers have not taken advant age of what experience has taught in the selection of land and the proper cultivation and care of the crop In many the net profits will be from s15O to $25O acre, and in least instance. s275 acre.
 These larger profits have been made. of course, by the growers of the socalled Pima cotton" which has sold nearly 53 cents a pound. The Yuma cot ton, constituting the great bulk of the cotton raised this year, is selling only six cents pound less so that the profits of the growers of Yuma should not be more than ten per cent less say from s1s5 10 SzZo an acre 1T they have used the best methods of production.
 Next year there will be enough Pima seed to plant 5000 acres about efourth of the prospec tive cotton of the valley The following year there will be enough of that seed every acre that can possibly be put to cotton in the valley
 We do mean to say, and we do not think that the growers of valley cotton will always get such prices as are paid this year. They will probably do so next year and the year after, and until the long staple cotton industry has been rehabitated in Egypt But it's rehabilitation be accomplished instanty-in a single Egyptian cotton had greatly deteriorated long before the war such an extent that the British parliament the solicitation of Lord Kitchener had voted 5,O00O0O pounds to be expended in the restoration of that industry
 But after it's rehabilitation. the price of long staple cotton could hardly fall below the half of the present prices and do think that the price of such a superior cotton raise here will ever fall nearly that low. But half present prices the profits of our growers would still be in excess of the moderate figures of the Christian Science Monitor

Reformation.

There will be much sympathy with the work of Edward F. Budding of Huntington West Virginia in ameliorating the condition of inmates prisons and obtaining honorable work for released convics. He Is apparently working upon the same lines as the late Warden Osborne of Sing Sing prison in New York and Governor Hunt of this state. said that MT. Budding has secured for no less than 5000 exconvicts and he declares that less than hundred of them have failed make good work is surely mertorous and worthy of emulation.
 But the West Virginia philanthropis parts com pany with many thoughtful people when he advances the doctrine, not held alone by him. that the idea of punishment applied to -doers is unworthy of the enlightened citizenship of this great country" The faacy of this extreme view is found in the elimination of the dread of punishment and thus re- moving of the barriers to the commission of crime Ideaists of the type of MT. Budding and Mir Osborne, while they blazing the way to better conditions have not yet removed the factor of de- liberate crime and avoided entirely the necessity of punishment

HUNT MAY GAIN
 FIFTEEN VOTES

Secretary of State, Sidney P Osborn had heard officially but from three counties yesterday in regard to the official returns of the late election Coconino, Graham and Gila, were the first ones in, and even then Coccnino was not positive that it's returns were as it should be. In every case. the figures were the same as published in the Republican yesterday morning.
 The cause for the uncertainty in Coconno county comes from the fact that precinct camp No. 10, did not send in it's returns direct to the clerk of the board of supervisors. For some time, it was thought that the returns were lost, although unofficial figures from that precinct were given.
 Yesterday a letter was received from Tom L. Reese, clerk of the board or supervisors of that county stating that the missing returns had come |" light, but from q round about source It seems frcm his letter that the cleo ton board of precinct camp No. l" had sent the returns to the county re corder with the talley lists, and being rather busy, the recorder had not opened the envelope When he did he found the missing returns, the figures giving Hunt 29; Campbell 14. If the returns from this precinct are allowed to go in with the other returns. II will he thrashed out later. probably when the election comes up for con- test hv the governor.

CHANDLER NEWS
MExIcAns GET RICH QUICK

While so many people are making money from their cotton some Mex leans in Chandler seem to have found m easier way to get rich quick. Some time ago Mrs. J. E. Adams sent q bunch or checks to the Bank of Chandler. but in some manner the package was lost. On the thirteenth of this month a check Tor s95.00 was cashed at the Musser Dry Goods store by young Mexican. ! He also tried to have cashed a check for a large amount at the Toggery in Mesa, but the proprietors sent the check to Mrs. Adams. Another check for $Se.4O was cashed on last Saturday evening at the Musser store, but SO far no trace of the one presenting the check has been found. Constable Charles Reckham at last traced the Mexican who had cashed two of the checks and arrested him on Thursday morning. He says that he found the checks down at the stock pens near the railroad

Fhs southern farmers again turning toward cotton as their principal crop stimulated by price slightly over 20 cents for midland. It has not been long since they seeking government aid and receiving it, beside sounding the slogan Buy Bale Please About that time. too. there was a movement Tor diversifcation of crops in the south. The fierce competition of the whole world in the business of growing short staple cotton had forced the price down to eight cents That is a disaster that cannot over take the farmers of the Salt River valley for there IS only small part of the world where such cotton as ours be grown.

The Anti -Picketing Ordinance.

Whether not the city commission has power to prevent by ordinance the practice of "picketng" in the face of the which permits it in this state trust that the legislature early in it's session will repeal that law. The act of plcketing is an eyesore on the streets of Phoenix and be- lieve 1t is damaging to the trades unionsm in that it gives the public a poorer impression of organized labor.
 The argument is made that to suppress picket ing is interfere with speech; to interfere with advertising. As free speech it is nothing of the sort, but it is interference license to dam age the business property of another. As to ad- vertisng, there many kinds with which the laws do properly interfere
 We will suppose that A and are residents and merchants of the town; that A entertans a grievance against B. He certainly would be al- lowed in any wel-ordered community to stand in front of the residence or place of business of and cry out in the hearing and sight of passersby that had done him injury and therefore unfit for human association. Such proceeding would be a reflection upon the good order of the town It would be going only step farther for A take revenge against by committing personal assaut upon him; by damaging his property in other way--by arson for instance. Pickeng is essentially disorder

 Said the citizen Pm thinking of something See that man with the banner. He doesn't look very prosperous. The of that place of business is one of the wealthiest men in the United States He started from nothing. He got rich by attending his own business If he had spent his time carrying a banner he would have been in the shape of the you see yonder."
 We have often thought that the only beneficiary of the picketng system is the intended victim the pcketed. It may be that the picket turns a few timorous souls away from the prescribed place, but he acts as advertisement of it's precise location and more than that, he awakens resentment which is latent in human nature against being told where to trade not to trade where eat We know of many instances of persons in Phoenix

 While we do not think the pickcts really damage those intended to be damaged their presence on the street is damaging to the city at large. the as any eyesore any unsightly thing, is damaging in the eyes of visitors.
