A, COUNSEL OF FOLLY.
Govern

When the United States Govern ment warns Americans to keep out of Mexico, the Administration Critics exhaust the vituperative resources of the English language in deno-ncing such 'pusillanimous' conduct. But the British Government, through its Ambassador in Washington, warns it's subjects out of Northern Mexico, that presumably, is evidence of the care with which Great Britain seeks to protect her people, '--
 The Chihuahua massacre is a gfastiy enough affair at best without the spectacle of American politicians trying to capitalize the corpses for partisan purposes. That Carranza is making every enort to punish the guilty is not open to denial, and the worst that can be said for the respon- sibi1ity of his Government is that some of it's officials in Chihuahua we're much too confident that they were in full control of the adjacent country.
 To talk intervention at such time as- this is to insist that all the mi!i- tary forces of the United States shall be locked ID in Mexico during the most critical period of modem history That If please t;e European beili- -gerents that have controversies with this country, but there is little danger that either the ACministrati ion or Congress will lend itself to such a counsel of folly.

ALL,s WELL THAT ENDS WELL

1, After a, loss of approximately two million dollars in wages to the em- ployees to say nothing of the heavy losses sustained by the mining com panies, the unauthorized strike, in this district called by Guy E. Miller, organizer of the Western Federation of Miners is at an end. By practi- cally a unanimous vote of the men involved decision was reached last Monday to return to work on the proposition submitted by the mine managers on January eighth through. Messrs Henry Hill and R. R. Web ster, of Clifton, who for the past two weeks have been acting as mediators
 In their efforts to secure an accept ance by the men of the proposition the mediators have received the as- sistance of the Sheriff, local labor leaders and the Federal Investiga- tors, and to all of those who assisted in bringing about the termination of the deplorable conditions, which have existed in this district for the past four months, the thanks. of the com munity at large is due.
 Lack of financial support from labor organizations throughout the country played an important part in the term ination of the strike. It. became known towards the end of the strug- gle that Mr. Guy Miller never was authorized to inaugurate a strike in this district. In this particular the strike was illegal and was not recog- nized- as entitled to support through assessments, although the strikers re- ceived liberal contributions from vari- ous parts of Arizona, notably from Mi ami
 The strike is over and every body is happy. The Era believes in letting the dead post bury its dead. This is not time for recriminations on either side, and we believe good for all concerned will be the outgrowth of the disturbed conditions through which we have just passed and that we are. now entering upon an era of better feeling and general prosperity ever known before in the Clifton Morenci district.

TEMPE NORMAL SCHOOL.

The state educational institution at Tempe has just closed up it's work for the first half of this school year and it is interesting to note some of the results of these activities. Dur ing the first semester the registra- tion has run up to 3S7 students, most of whom came from outside the coun- ty of Maricopa and represents every county of the state. More than half of these room and board at the school, while most of the remainder find accommodations in the homes of the town. There are 91 young men included in the enrolment, lacking only a little of being 25 per cent of the total and thus being a larger pro portion of males to females than is found in almost any normal school in this country. The reason for the large increase in the number of young men attending is, of course, the at tractiveness of the new utilitarian courses in agriculture and industrial arts. These courses include manual training, wood work, forge work, brass finishing, cunning, lathfng, metal work and polishing, etc., and are under the charge of two expert teachers; while the department of agriculture affords instruction in ami nal husbandry, horticulture, school gardening, experimental work, cereal, alfalfa and cotton raising, etc., etc., and gives employment to several stu dents as assistants. In addition to the 3S7 students mentioned above
 there are 233 children in the training school, making a total registration to date of 620 in all departments. There will undoubtedly be 400 students or over in the Normal School depart ment during the second half year.

Phoenix, Jan. 22.-For the pur- pose of inspecting the American Smelling & Refining company's big zinc mine at Joilpn, Mo-, state mine inspector G. H. Bolin will leave for that place next week. The company is reluctant to carry out certain re- quirements inspector Bolin has laid down for the operation of the Christ mas mine. It contends that the same methods employed at Christmas are in safe and successful use at Joplin, so the inspector has decided to see the Missouri property for him. self.

WHAT AiLs THE GAME SUPPLY?

In comm enting on the figures re- gently published showing the dwindl- ing game supply of Arizona and New Mexico. Forest Officers say that the situation is so serious as to necessi-
 tate immediate and decisive action along the following lines:
 First, the prompt enactment of the Chamberlain-Hayden Bill now before Congress embodying the Hornaday Plan for a system of Game Refuges, providing places where game can breed unmolested and where no hunt ing is allowed.
 Second, the organization of Game Protective Associations throughout the Southwest to crystalline and make effective public sentiment in favor of game protection. These as- -sociations are steadily growing in New Mexico, active organizations ex- isting at Taos, Albuquerque, Santa Fe, Magdalena, and Silver City.
 Third, a vigorous campaign, car Tried on jointly by the State Game Wardens, the Game Protective Asso- ciations, and the Forest Service, for the enforcement of the game laws.
 Fourth, vigorous campaign of pubiic education carried On by the same three agencies, which will teach people the value of game, the necessity for game conservation, and the fact that under present conditions the breaking of the game law, instead Of being sporting chance reDrehen- aib.e only when detected, is AN ACT 1 UNWORTHY OF A GOOD CITIZEN, re National Forests of Arizona and New Mexico, it is said, instead i or yielding thousands Of deer and
 turkey each year, ought to yield tens Of thousands, but they will never do ! so Intil an adequate breeding stock has been restored by vigorous ac- ! ton along the lines indicated.

INCONSISTENCY.

When Congress opened, Senator Sherman of Illinois promptly advocat- ed that American citizens should be denied the right to take passage on unarmed liners of belligerent na- tions He would extend to them the same kind of warning as was given months ago by the State Department to Americans in Mexico. Yet when the news came of the murder of Am erican citizens in Mexico this same Senator Sherman promptly decided that the United States army be sent there to aYenge the murders and to protect other Americans in what is practically belligerent territory. With in few days the Senator has public ly advocated two contradictory poli- cies. It is clearly case of any thing to fight Wilson.

LIE IL SHOULD HAPPEN.

One contemplates with awe the pos sfble consequences of an attack upon some foreign country by a combina- tion of American militant editors congressman, armament manufactur- CTS, and other kindly natured old gentlemen, under the leadership Of the renowned military strategist, Theodore Roosevelt. If words were bullets a large part of the world would already be depopulated Or, if these redoubtable warriors who dress their salad with n1troglycerine, and use shrapnel for breakfast food should take the field in person-but the imagination fails the thought. Doubtless the safety of the world from this impending disaster lies in the same kindly dispensation of na- ture that preserves the nurses and doctors of insane asylums: Crazy peo- pie do not combine.
