Money Wanted Everywhere.

EXtravagance in the expenditure of public funds is unfortunately characteristic of all political parties This is strikingly suggested in the comments of MT. Stuyvesant Fish the administration of public af- fairs in Putnam county New York
 In 4 plea local government, based upon busi- principles, he ccnsures both parties for the stanty increasing burdens of taxation. At his try home he says, the for 1916 will be dollars more than in the borough of Manhattan This is surprising in view of the complaints of the recl essness of the Manhattan tax spenders. AIr Fish's testimony indicates that frugality is in the country it is in the largest city of the United States The striking of his statement is the assertion that neither party makes any preence of caring keep the rate within bounds. He says this point:
 "The question is not of politics, but of stop ping the useless of public money. The Washington is going increasingly under the Federal administration; Albany under republican state administration and at county seat Carmel. under board of six supervisors of whom three are democrats and three republicans. 1 have the best of feeling toward my neGhbors in of flee. though must also say a board they inefficient and wasteful to the last degree"
 MT. Fishs summary of the in which public business is transacted exaggerated, and it is likely that public officials will change their prac' tices long the people to have debts piled up without thought of the day of settlement. His appeal his fellow drop politics and agree upon plan of stopping the leaks is sible one, for when the people tired of eXtrava gance, the office holders if they business men, will seek counsel of experienced in f- nance and administration. And it may be said that number of cities and towns which will find it prof
 able to follow MT. Fishs suggestions is very large.

"Auuressive Republicans"

The Aggressive Republican" evolution attrib uted by the Douglas International to that Burbank of Arizona politics. Colonel Michael Edward Cassidy, is described by the International new form of an imal life, the study of which during the three months suppose will be very interesting The In- ternaonal thinks that the aggressive republican is "cross between standpat republican and Bull Moose But the opinions of the International regard ing things republican apt to be unscentific and conjectuTa We should like to hear of this form of animal life from it's originator, Colonel Cassidy
 Quitting opprobrious epthets, there have been only kinds of republicans until now progressive republicans and reactionary republicans agreed thatthey cannot coalesce until other change it's nature That is impossible difficult every day, almost witness the phenomenon of dem ocrats getting to be Christians. But until such d change there be compromising of the elements into satisfactory mixture any than combine bitter and in such a way as to obscure the characteristics of either of them.

CHAPTER XIX.
 I submit this morning some lines on the desert, which-however much it has been decried-remains the most in teresting, and to me, the most fascinat- ing of all the physical aspects of Ari- zona.
 The Lure of the Desert. When the rain of the springtime is
 over,
 And the earth is created anew; When the sunshiny days have grown
 longer,
 With only white clouds in the blue; When the migrant sweet birds are re-
 turning,
 Each bringing a jubilant song. l am drawn by the lure of the desert. Incessant, insistent and strong. Then I take a long ride on my pony,
 And fling away trouble and care, And sallop, in reckless abandon,
 Till the wanton wind tousles my hair. For season of life in the open,
 On the limitless, blossomy plain, Brings always pleasure that fills me, And tingles in fiber and vein. There is room in the wide-reaching
 spaces
 For gladness and comfort, and peace And health in the rhythmical motion
 When hurry and worriment cease. Far away from all vapid conventions,
 And free as the wild bird that sings, The soul is refreshed and expanded
 Andr rises on palpitant wings The air is as soft as a rose-ieaf,
 The sunshine is yellow as gold, And cacti-green. sturdy Goliaths- Are sentinels, faithful and old The creamy white blooms of the yucca Embroider the wilderness edge. And a towering mountain is seeking To open the sky with its wedge. It moves me to deeper devotion. This desert so wondrously wide A type of the vast and eternal That mocks foolish man and hls pride. And, sometimes. 'tis better than
 
 And better than closter, or pew Wherein to make honest appraisal, And winnow the False from the True. some flimsy philosophies crumble, Some creeds of the purists go down, When 1 face them, out there in the si- lcnce, Many leagues from the turbulent town.

HILL CONSTRAINED
 ID USE PROFANITY

Reuben Hill. who has not uttered an oath since the Civil war was forced to use ungentlemanly language yester- day when he took the witness stand and repeated some of the names he said his wife called him.
 Mr. Hill brought suit against his wife last October asking for a divorce cn the grounds of cruelty A few weeks later he withdrew the action because he could not pay the attor- rev's fees. He instituted proceedings again in February. Mrs. Hill who says her husband is an impossible man to live with, filed a cross complaint.
 Minors were not permitted in Judge Stanford's court while the case was being heard.
 Some half dozen witnesses testified as to the married life of the Hills. Miss Maud Lipps. one of the witnesses foc he plaintiff declared that Mrs. Hill frequently threatened to kill her hus- band. Tt necame a by-word with her, she said. On one occasion Mrs Hill is said to have drawn d knife on hel husband and at another time to have drawn lis auto glove from his hand and slapped him in the face with it The young woman was also accused of tearing off the shirt of her seventy one year old husband.
 T couldn't borrow any money after l married" complaired Mir Hill on the witness stand. My reputation was ruined Again he said of his wife who is slightly lame, She says she can't stand on her feet vet she wears out a pair of shoes a month"

NO. O-WAhf , M CHeN SINK
 Mary is the wife of a country store keeper. She keeps the house, takes care of the children and helps wait on the store. She works har1-harder than her husband. and he works harder than he should.
 Up to the present they have had few of the Conveniences of life Water came from nearby spring. and tho house work was done under distressing con ditions owing to the greed of the land lord. He finally agreed to put in the improvements so necessary to human comfort and Mary's life promised to hecome easier. The problem was: where to put the kitchen sink"
 Now Mary had a favorite rocking chair that had mortgage on the cor ner Next came the stove, then her kitchen cabinet. To put the sink in the corner would disturb the rocking chair and that would never do. The stove and the cabinet could not be moved therefore it was resolved. after much deliberation, to put the sink in an ad- .oinlng room. in a dark corner thirty iN't 'ioiAi t4iN HtONC. IHlSs Dl tOlsISS, meant miles of walking every day for Mary, but she could find no other way But kindly inclined friend. who could study job, suggested moving the caa- met just one foot and putting the sink between the stove and the cabinet where it belonged. It was done. and. behold, Mary is a happy rested woman
 Now, what is the moral of it all: Just this: Too many women walk too much on their jobs. which job consists in getting the housework done in the shortest time and with the least ex- penditure of energy. Why should Mary why should any woman-walk half a mile in getting dinner7 A pan in one place. pot in another. flour. sugar and salt in another Back and forth. to and fro, and for what?

 You worked pretty hard for your money, and it ought to work for you; not overHork, but just keep comfortably busy It will work right faithfully, for compound interest grows apace; but if you work it too hard, it will, like the faithful old horse, keep going for time, but eventually fail you.
 Do not try the impossible. Four per cent and safety, with cash available any day, is better than ten per cent with risk and un- salable investments when you want the money. Don't lose your principal trying to get big interest. Thrift consists in leaving some good things alone The promoter is one. His best scheme is not good enough for you.
