WHEN PEACE COMES.

Whatever may be the ultimate outcome of the European war, one thing seems def- nitely certain-that the United States will have to fight hard to retain the commercial supremacy she has achieved, or which, possi- bly,, has been thrust upon her by the war.
 There are two separate and distinct ways in which the fight will have to be fought the first to retain her deu share of foreign trade especially with South America, and the sec ond to prevent either the Germans or the allies from dumping a flood of cheap goods upon our markets.
 The first of these fights is, perhaps, not so difficult as the latter. Once American foreign trade secures hold, 1t may be left, safely enough, to retain its due share of the worlds business As to the second phase of the situation, there IS reason for more doubt.
 It has been supposed that Germany would be SO exhausted by the war that her exports of the specialties in which her chemists and manufacturers have placed her at the head of the worlds producers, would be largely cut down. The recent arrival of a mer- chant submarine with hundreds of tons of dye stuffs drugs an,. chemicals shows that the danger IS farI from lmag ginary.
 American manufacturers are feeling their way towards the supply of these things made in America," but, with the eNperi- ence of fifty years behind them, it IS impossi- ble to imagine that we will be able, for some years at least, to approximate the German economies of productions. There is real dan ger that more than one of our newly develop ed industries may be unable to withstand the competition that will surely follow peace.
 T,, matter in III others the DreSI- dent and his advisers have shown their WIS dom by making plans for the organization of tariff board which will be able should necessity arise, to prevent any dumping ot goods on our markets. The president may be trusted to take every step necessary to pre- vent such practices without, in any way, varying the democratic principle of welcom- ing free and honest competition.

EDITORIAL OPINION
MOTHERS PENSION LAW
Arizona Gazette)

The recent decision of the state su- preme court, holding the so-called mothers pension law unconstitu- tional, is an Illuminating document and one well worthy the close atten- tion and careful study of all would be reformers.
 The law as originally drawn and passed, was radically defective and contained technical errors that made putting it into operation an impOssi- bility. In a word it was i'll consid- cred, improperly framed and, no mat ter how good it's intent may have been, it was unconstitutional.
 This is apt to be the case with all initiated measures and, if the initia- tive is to amount to anything as one of the fundamental principles of legis- lation, the preparation of laws must be gone about more carefully than has been the case in the past.
 It has been suggested that all pro- posed measures should be submitted to court before being voted upon and that this court should pass upon the technical correctness of the bill before the state is put to the expense of an election. Under the present system of legal procedure, no court would have the desired Jurisdiction. The court can act only when meas ure has become law and is attacked As an alternative to this there might, properly enough, be a standing con- mittee of the legislature which would have cognizance of all initiated meas ures just as the present judiciary con- mittee has of bills that are introduced when the legislature is in session.
 A committee of this kind could be assembled quickly and the state would be saved the expense of futile legislation with all it's incidental trou- bles and annoyance. In this connec- tion it seems worthy of note that the courts have been compelled to reject practically all the initiated measures that have been introduced to date.
 In the particular case under dis cussion, the state is to be congratu- lated upon the voiding of an i'll con- ceived and impracticable measure the operation of which, it is esti- mated, would have absorbed more than $5OO,OOO yearly.

The record made by Pickens Anderson,

The record made by Pickens Anderson, County Treasurer of Greenlee County, in the collection of taxes and the economical admin stration of his office, is unsurpassed by any County Treasurer in the State. The original tax roll, as turned over to the Treasurer by the Board of Supervisors totaled S375,57S.o5. Additions to the roll by the Treasurer amount ed to S79.o1, making the total amount to be collected S375,656.o6. Of this amount the sum delinquent on June goth was only S2SI2.42, showing the per cent of taxes col lected in this county to be 99.25 per cent. Figures gathered from other counties show this to be the best record in the state for the collection of taxes.

The passage of the bill by congress ap- propriating eighty five million dollars for building roads in the country is but the first step in this direction. Out of this appropri- ation Arizona will receive more than three million during the next five years provided the state provides an equal amount for road work in that time. What is needed in Ari- zona now is road commission that will be some guarantee that value will be received for the road money expended. The present system of road building in this state is an awful waste

WOMAN CAPTURED
 IN PARKER MURDER

Sheriff Herbert J. McGrath receiv- ed a telegram this morning from un- der-sheriff Schrimpser of Hachita, stating that the Mexican woman, who with her husband disappeared from the Parker ranch after the murder of William Parker and his wife, had been caught by the southern Grant county posse in Mexico. The woman refused to talk or give any information. Her husband is still at large This is one of the most i'm, portant finds since the dastardly murder and may result in the truth being learned.
 Late beliefs from southern Grant county are that MT. Parker and wife were murdered by the Mexican who was employed at his ranch. Only two horses and saddles were missing from the place and these the couple are believed to have taken. The man and woman were trailed by the posse into Mexico and it's likely that their capture will cast a light on the murder.
 Later-Mr. Schrimpser arrived here this afternoon with the woman enroute to the county jail. It is al legged that the woman told the officers that the murder was committed by her husband for meanness." She was apprehended while riding one of the Parker horses and saddles acro~~ | the border. The woman will have a hearing be- fore Judge c. W. Marsalis here July 10th. h.-Lordsburg Liberal.

DIR. DIXON GIVES
SOME PLAIN TALK
Says That People Can Avoid
Spreading Colds if They
Will Take Care Now

State Commissioner of Health Sam
uel G. Dixon in a strong and valuable
statement on colds issued by his de-
partment yesterday calls upon people
to take care of themselves and their
fellows when they have a cold The
spread of cold, he says, is largely due
TO carelesSness, and if some simple
precautions are followed there is little
danger of others being affected
DIR. Dixon says:
This is the season when colds seem
TO be a well nigh universal complaint.
if you have been fortunate enough to
escape, your neighbor has not. There
are numerous fcators which are re-
sponsible for the spread of colds at
this period of the year. As in MANY
other infectious diseases one NAV be
frequently exposed without any seri-
Gus result.
There are simple congestive colds
from exposure yet many conditions
commonly called colds are caused bv
germs. Probably one of the most com
mon methods of spreading these So
called colds is through the careless
ness of those who are sick with the
infectious condition and who are care
less in handling their handkerchiefs
and who sneeze and cough when near
others without covering their mouths
ana noses to prevent spraying the
droplets in the breath that are often
filed with thousands of infective
germs.
"It is a common thing for colds to
go through an entire family This is
usually the result of carelessness in
coming too closely in contact with the

TO
BE CARRIED OUT
State Insurance Fund Will Be
Thoroughly Protected by
the General Plan

The State Workmen's Insurance
Fund Board not only intends to work
so that employers get dividends ac-
Cording to the measure in which
they install safeguards in plants
but plans to make the reinsurance fea-
ture a big matter. AS stated by the
board a week ago, reinsurance of eX-
ceptional hazards is to be undertaken.
This will not only protect the solvency
of the fund, but be a big matter in the
eyes of business men.
In a statement on the situation AL
bert l.. Allen, assistant manager of the
fund. says:
The State Workmen's Insurance
Board will reinsure catastrophe hazard
of the State fund in excess of $25, 900.
This action eliminates any possibility
of the depletion of the State funds re-
sources and surplus by single catas-
trophe in which many insured workers
may lose their lives or be injured.
THE elimination of the catastrophe
risk by reinsurance is regarded by the
members of the insurance board as the
most effective action that could be
taken to safeguard and guarantee the
complete solVency of the State fund
during the first few years of its exist
ence.
From present indications it may
be safely asserted that the State fund
will have sufficient premium income
to meet almost any demand that would
ever be made upon it. Over 200 poll
cies are being issued daily on paid ap-
plications. Almost 10000 applications
have been received from employers in
all sections of Pennsylvania, repre-
senting in the aggregate an enormous
payroll
THE principle of reinsurance against
catastrophes is adopted, however, as
an added protection to State fund sub
scribers and to nullify any argument
that the State fund could be wrecked
by any catastrophe.
The response of Pennsylvania en-
ployers to the advantages offered by
the State fund, the peoples insurance
medium, has been tremendous. The
10 per cent. lower rate than charged
by other companies, the guarantee of
no assessment, the complete release
from all liability and from the filing
of liens have been factors contributing
to this great demand for State insur-
ance. The fact that no expense may
be charged against the premium in
come of the State fund for three years,
making probable distribution OF divi-
dends at the end of the Year. is an
added incentive toward State insur-
ance.
THE insurance board is at the pres
ent time perfecting a plan whereby
dividends. known as individual expert
ence dividends, may be paid to sub
scribers in addition to regular divi-
dends of the fund. These individual
experience dividends will be dis
tributed among employers insuring in
the fund who install safeguards in
their establishments to cut down ap-
preciably the cost of accidents. The
board believes that not only safety
first but safe always should be in
every instance encouraged and re-
warded."

THEIR MARRIED LIFE"
Copyright by international News Service

Christmas. What did it matter, she
thought recklessly. she might as we'll
have things nice. Just as she was
putting the finishing touches to the
table the doorbell rang and she ran
on light feet to admit DIR. Marshall.
The young doctor from downstairs
greeted her with a smile. He had be-
come quite friendly with the Curtis
family.
What's wrong to-day" he said, his
boyish face reathed in smiles.
IT'S my maid" she said aloud. "She
has an attack of neuralgia and is in
bed. | thought she seemed feverish
and that you ought to see her."
After brief examination he turned
to Helen.
She had better stay in bed for to-
day. | guess you had better get some
one else to help with the dinner party.
| noticed that you were getting ready
for one" And he smiled again.
But l could never get anyone at
this late hour, and did want things
to be nice" she finished childishly.
"Of course you did. Well, how about
borrowing mine for the occasion?"
But, doctor, what about you? Can
you manage without her? Oh, it seems
a dreadful thing to do, and l suppose
my husband won't like it" And then
as brilliant idea struck her: why,
this is Wednesday, isn't it, and you
have no office hours. I'll borrow
Elvira if you will come to the party.
And" she said dramatically, "Tll in
vite the stunningest girl you ever met
in your life to be your dinner partner.
How's that?"
DR.. Marshall grinned. Sounds good
to me. 1 shall be delighted. What
time do you want Elvira -
About four-thirty will be time
enough and you're sure Mary will be
all right?"
Perfectly; just give her this medi-
cine every three hours and I'll look at
her again tonight"
Helen flew to the telephone as the
doctor left. She must call up Frances,
and let Warren know. Luck was
surely with her, and nothing could
fail now.

Henry Ward Beecher's Greed

I'VE believe that soil likes to eat
as well as it's owner, and ought, there
fore, to be literally fed.
I'VE believe in large crops which
leave the land better than they found
it-making the farmer and the farm
both glad at once.
1--WE believe in going to the bot
tom of thinks and, therefore, in deep
plowing and enough of it. All the
better with a subsoil plow.
I'VE believe that every farm should
own a good farmer.
I'VE believe that the best fertilizer
for any soil is a spirit of industry,
enterprise and intelligence. without
this lime and gypsum, bones and
green manure, mari and guano, will
be of little use
1--WE believe in good fences, good
barns, good farmhouses, good stock,
good orchards, and children enough
to gather the fruit.
I'VE believe in clean kitchen, neat
wife in it, spinning wheel, a clean
cupboard, a clean dairy, and a clean
conscience.
We firmly disbelieve in farmers
who will not improve; in farms that
grow poorer every year; in starving
cattle; in farmers boys turning into
clerks and merchants; in farmers
daughters unwilling to work, and in
all farmers ashamed of their vocation
or who drink whisky until honest peo-
pie are ashamed of them.'

Helen felt a sense of eXhilaration
as she hurried home that morning.
Ned Burns had judiciously flattered
her, and, although as a general rule
she dislilled fiattery, just the same she
was enough of Il woman to enjoy tri-
butte of any kind.
Mr.. Burns had begun by asking
Helen to bring Warren and dine at an
inn at Yonkers that night.
"Oh, no, indeed, we couldn't do
that" Helen had demurred.
You come up and dine with us in
stead"
Tonight"
Surely. if you like" And now she
was speeding home to arrange a cozy
dinner.
She let herself in with her latch-key
and throwing off her things hurried
into the kitchen. Mary was placing
some lamb chops on the broiler, her
head wrapped up in a towel.
'Neuralgia?" said Helen sympa-
thetically.
Mary nodded, Spasm of pain cross
ing her face as she spoke.
That's too bad Mary; now you
needn't bother any more with the
lunch, but Just go in your room and
lie down. I'm going to have company
for dinner tonight, and l don't want
you to be sick"
Mary protested, but Helen forced
her into her own room off the kitcher.
and saw that she was comfortably
wrapped up. A steaming hot water
bottle was brought from the bathroom
and put to the aching face and when
Helen left the room Mary was already
doing.
Helen broiled the chops and fixed
some potatoes for herself. She reused
Mary and forced her to take q Gun of
hot tea. The girl sat up with an effort,
and Helen began to wonder if some
thing weren't wrong.
She would call up DR.. Marshall. II
ought to be Just about time to find
him in.
DIR. Marshall was in and would be
up in about twenty minutes.
Helen whipped out the new table
linen that she had been saving for
