New Auto Laws in Maryland.

Some new laws governing the

land went into effect Saturday,
which it would be we'll for all
automobilists to paste in their
hats and impress indelibly upon
their memory, as they apply to
out-of-town cars also.
One new regulation is that the
lights on all machines must not
be over 80 candle power and the
rear lights must shine white on
rear markers.
it is a violation for one auto
mobilist to overtake or pass an
other on a curve or over the top
of a hill.
Again the limit of speed on
country roads is 35 miles per
hour and the automobile driver
must have an entirely clear road
in order to run that speed. Any
driver will be held responsible
for any accident which occurs
when the speed exceeds 25 miles
per hour.

THE TEMPER OF THE PEOPLE

If any doubted that the result of the state election reflected determination on the part of the people of the state that the day of the professional agltator and strife-maker was done in Arizona, there have been developments following fast upon the declaration of the cleo ton result that will remove that doubt The most recent proof of this occurred at Miami last Saturday night when two agitators who at mass meeting of union men urged strike were driven from the city, being forced to flee to escape violence They were Ed Don- nelly, president-elect of the Arizona Federation of Miners, and one Moreno according to Globe and Miami newspapers.
 Y The cause for striking urged upon the
 mass meeting, according to reports, was not that working conditions were unsatisfactory, that hours were too long, or that wages were too low. On the other hand hours are said to be reasonable, wages are high, and work ing conditions are good. The proposal of the agltators was that the union men strike to make the Globe-Miami district a 'closedf district" which means that before anyone is permitted to win his daily bread he must first secure the permission of the union bosses and ''fee' the union for card. We cannot condone violence, but the temper of Arizona workingmen is evidently such that they are not inclined to sit idly by and have their welfare marred by professional strife-makers.

COTTON MAY BE KING.

While mining has the lead in the state as a wealth producing industry, it is evident that in few years, another asset will be added to the list of the resources of Ari- zona, that will place her in the front rank of prosperity, and it will be cotton.
 It is estimated that 5o,ooo acres of cot ton will be planted the ensuing year in the Salt River and Yuma valleys. This experi- ment will be watched with intense interest by the agriculturalist and capitalist, and if re- turns justify, much larger acreage will be the result According to experiments, Ari- zona has the soil, climate and irrigation faci- lities, superior to any other sections of the states, for cotton production.

GIVE US OUR DAILY BREAD.

There is no need for food embargo; that is plain. And every particle of reason humanity and common sense rebels against the idea Reason proves that there is abund- ance of food in the country. Humanity says that nations innocently starving need our surplus Common sense reminds that an enl- bargo would provoke the wrath of all nations against us, and would lead to reprsals beyond possibility to foresee.
 Nevertheless, an embargo for a brief space of time might be extremely expedlent. It might, for thing, help to call warning nations to their senses. And more than any thing else, it would bring our own people to theirs If food of all kinds should suddenly stop going out of the country, everyone would know for certain that there was plenty left. No one could longer be deceived. It is not true that the war is to blame for high prices In New York an investiga- ton showed the storage houses SOY full of butter, cheese, chickens, apples and eggs that many of the big firms are refusing to store food for short periods. They can't take any more.
 In Chicago the situation is similar. Eggs are held by the millions and other food stuffs in proportionate amounts.
 The small retailer can't get supplies ex- cept in small deliveries. The bakers are raising the price of bread because they simply cannot get flour at any reasonable rate. The answer to every question is .'The Warp The War!
 How much longer are the American peo- pie going to stand for this wholesale thievery? They wouldn't stand for 1t minute in regard to water supply. Why should they in the matter of food?
