The prospect Of Clifrord Thorne's
election to congress has stirred the
railroad politicians in this district as
they have never been stirred before.
They looked over the situation and
decided they must have but one can
didate or Thorne would win. They
admitted both Molesberry and Kopp
were ADLER men, but they decided
Kennedy and hts garden seeds would
command more votes and votes are
what they need now. Therefore they
underm ed the support OF both Moies-
berry and Kopp and forced them to
withdraw. This leaves the field to
Thorne and Kennedy.
The result of this proceeding has
greatly enhanced the chances OF Caif-
ford Thorne. The people are sick and
tired OF these invisible forces In poll
tics The supporters Of both Moles-
berry and Kopp have turned to Thorne
in great numbers They are against
Kennedy and no power on earth can
dictate their votes. Many enthusiastic
reports show that these Withdrawals
will help Thorne and he already looks
like a winner. tE ag II b. AK

Is 1t a Natural Law?

A few days ago the New York Journal of Com merce implied that some reproach IS attached to the American Protective Tariff League because it changes it's mind The Rochester Democrat -Chron- cle is moved to inquire why it should change it's mind and then adds:
 Intelligent human beings have never changed their minds about the laws of gravitation they formulated by Newton about the theory of COperncus that the earth revolves the sun about the demonstration of Christopher Columbus that the earth round These things facts. It would be sign of idocy if people should deny that down hill, that fire burns, that flight is impossible without wings The talue of pro tective policy in economic system has been abolished by evidence which carries conviction any person with capacity for reasoning. The country has invariably prospered under a protective policy. It has invariably experienced industrial and cal depression under anything approaching free trade. Why shouldn't the American 1'rotective Tariff League seek earnestly bring about repeal of the Underwood law and the adoption. of law framed accordance with republican policles?"
 It is going rather far compare the policy of the league with the law of gravitation with any fixed law any unchangeable fact. The Democrat Chronicle makes the mistake of confoundng the pol icy of the league with the protective policy. The latter is subject to change to meet changing cond tions The American Protective Tal:cf League would permit such changes; it aims at the entrenchment of industries when they longer need protection and this entrenchment the expense of American consumers
 be conceived that what may gard reasonable protective ptI:cy should pass away Conditions may change t:.at it would be better for this country have protective tariff. 1t is true that such changes in sight and per
 
 now living; they very probably will not. But regard protective policy unchangeable law.
 We may sympathize with the effort of the Amer ican Protective League to the repeal of the Underwood law but there sympathy ends for certainly opposed to d recurrence to the repub lcan method of tariff legislation frequently for the benefit of the comparatively few the expense of the many.

Between Two Governors

What Governor Johnson of California said to Gov ernor Whitman of New York .he long distance telephone reply a greeting and a question by the New York governor and what Governor Whitman understood Governor Johnson yay may be two very different things That would cepend upon the state of mind of each of the governors the time of the conversation.
 Governor Johnson said: If no mistakes are made Gin the Chicago republican conventon,) if (republi- cans and progressively upon common ground will all be together Governor Whitman's translation of Governor Johnson's message "Oh l expect will all be together in j.ine.'
 We think that the long distance wire of the American Telegraph and Telephone company should be eXonerated from all blame for :le twisting of Governor Johnsons message. The republican has used this service for four months and has found it to be very reliable for teegraphic and be- lieve that if it can accurately transmit the Phillips Code through the medium of the Morse alphabet it ought with equal accuracy convey spoken word of governor to another.
 The trouble somewhere in the transmission system of Governor Whitman between the ear and tie mouth of the governor through the brain, pr- vate system over which the American Telegraph and Telephone company has no control Its respons- bl;ty ends with the delivery of th- message at the ear.
 But we cannot say that Governor Whitmans translation was wrong. If Goverror Johnson "eX- pected" that mistakes would be made by the pubcans at Chicago if he "expect~G' that the pro- srcssives and republicans could together there ground. he meant, of course what Gov Whitman represented him to say. But Gov ernor Johnson, it will be observed did not wander into the field of expectation and speculation.
 He could and know what the republicans will do at Chicago whether Barnes Penrose and the of that crowd will dom mate the convention If they should there be meeting common ground there in June or at any other time and place.
 But perhaps Governor Whitman knows thinks he knows that those will not control the repub lican convention and that therefore progressives and the republicans may find commoa ground and that in consequence he felt warranted in injecting more optimism into the remarks of Governor John than the later really felt
 This incident, anyhow, warns L~ that while the telephone is great invention it entirely take place of the telegraph the for absolute accuracy

ARRANGING FOR
 FIREMAN $ BALL
Additional Committees Are Named, Besse s Orchestra Engaged and Plans Laid for Most Enjoyable Dance in Departments History

Progress was made yesterday in
 the work of arranging for the an
 nual ball of the Phoenix Volunteer
 Fire Department to be held at Pat
 rick Hall, on Tuesday evening, Feb
 ruary 22, when the executive com
 mittee named some time ago at a general department meeting, gathered at Central Station and named addi- tional committees. That the ball of

 spect any previously held, was the
 prediction of the committee.
 In the first place Besse's orchestra has already been engaged and in
 structed to provide special program for the occasion. There will be enough numbers on the program to satisfy all. These numbers will be dedicated to the various officials of the city and state, as well as to members of the department. The decorations of the hall will be in keeping with the occasion; it be- ing Washington's birthday they will take on a patriotic character. It is believed that there will be record
 breaking sale of tickets. the proceeds of which will be devoted to the general and sick funds of the volun- teer department.
 At yesterdays meeting these com mittees were named:
 Reception: V. A. Thompson. Lamar Walker, A. H Davidson, J. M. Shott, | J. H. Kinney, C. w. Cisney

There is natural supposition that women do not give much attention to That may may be true but it has pretty defi- nely settled that girl students know about the than young men in various higher institu- tions of learning.

 The questions brought out the most astounding ignorance in matters of geography anG current his tory. An average only of 5S per of the ques- tons answered by the young and of them seemed to have heard only a round about way that a in progress in part of the world. Many of the students of Williams coi.ege did know who emperor of Austria though he has been on the throne two generations.

ttiqh School Fraternities -

One of the evils of fraternal organizations and associations of various kinds, and, inseparabe frequently from much good is the feeling of depend which expense self reliance. Many men and join societies for the help they expect to get Others recognize that help should be mutual and they take the proper view that real object of the societies sh,uld be bring people together to help another. There other special evils in high school societies. much evil than good, believe but considering only their tendency to destroy elf-reliarce.
 At a late convention of high school principals of the California subject O. nigh school fra ernites and sororities up for extended discus sion. The convention decided against such organizations giving similar to those advanced by secondary schools in parts of the country where societies have been abolished Notable among the arguments adva .ced by Will C. Wood, commissioner of secondary education of California who said in part
 'The school is striving develop in it's students the quality of sef-reliance which is essential to sue Too frequently the fraternity student is sciousy being impressed with the idea that success from his friends and associates, not from his efforts Too frequently, time that should be spent in study work is than wasted in a surfeit of social functions"
 If secondary schools in general are making an earnest effort to make the student self reliant and conscious of his opportunities they doing more. probably than they given credit for It is the func ton of the home to mold the students character the function of the school to train his intellect. if parents remiss in their du;y the burden is thrown upon the schools and every effort the latter make this responsibility is worthy of praise

 The association will hold it's meet inGs monthly, and will in the near future join the ranks of the National Association of Life Underwriters, which HOW numbers over ten thousand mem be"s.

An 'od horseman' is quoted saying that the fla of horsemeat will be greatly improved if carrots fed to the horse for two before he is slaughtered. We do not believe that he said it. No horseman would say anything from which it could be inferred that he counenanced in the slightest degree the killing of horses for food.

COLONEL FOR HUGHES?

In the late issue of Harper's Week
" we find an article referring to the
candidacy of Supreme Court Justice
Hughes as possible partnership can
didate of the republican and pro-
gressive parties The editorial says:
1T was observed that Colonel
Roosevelt is a peculiar friend Of his
(referring to Hughes), as he boasts
Of preventing the name Of Mr.. Hughes
in 1908 and justified his interference
adding Hughes would have made a
more dangerous president than Taft.
He is stronger and equally reaction
airy. The colonel has not lost his
feelings about Hughes. His endorse
ment Of him caused by one or more
of these facts:
81. The conviction that Hughes
will not accept
"2. The conviction that it is po-
litically necessary to seem to be IA
vorable to strong candidate, even if
it means some risk Of actually caus-
ing the nomination.
"3. That much as he dislikes Mr.
Hughes the one person whom the col
onel hates day and night is the presi-
dent and any brick that might possibly
land must be thrown at him"
From the most authoritative sources
it is stated that Justice Hughes does
not want to make the race for presi-
dent. He realizes probably that if he
gets into the race he will be double
crossed by either the republicans or
the progressives, and would have no
chance to carry an election against
President Woodrow Wilson. If
Hughes does refuse, of course, Teddy
will than be in a position Of having
offered to be good, and to harness up
again with his old wheel horses. And
| if Hughes doesn't run, why then, the
! Hon. Theodore Roosevelt might point
to himself with pride as the only
compromise candidate.

THE WAR OF RULERS.

No greater truth has been spoken by
President Wilson during his speaking
tour than when he said in Chicago that
rulers, not public opinion, brought on
the war. "I thank God there is no one
man in the United States who has the
authority to bring on war without the
consent of the nation said President
Wilson, and his audience voiced its
vociferous approval of the sentiment.
In the United States every citizen is
entitled to his opinion, and to voice
such opinion in the manner he sees
fit unless he disturbs the peace and
quiet Of the community or gives voice
to reasonable utterance Even then
we are lOath to suppress him, so great
is the latitude of our liberty. No one
man can plunge this country into war
1t is true one man, if he yields enough
influence, can shape sentiment that
will bring on war, so it behooves US
not TO give too close ear to those in
high places, or former high places,
who wish to lead us into trouble.
1t is up to the people of the United
States to work out their destinies, and
in this undertaking let wise and
thoughtful counsel prevail. Let the
spirit of unselfishness upon which
this nation is founded never be lost
sight of. We have no rulers" over
here and the man who elects to think
he is not as good as another man can
gain no sympathy for his underdog
attitude.
