Diplomacy, Then and Now"

How differently things done now Instead of decision, frmness and readiness for action we have palavering, shifting and supneness In those elder days the United States reverence through the world. Now, there's none so poor to do her reverence" Within year have been snubbed bv Germany and Great Britain and France has disdaned to take notice of protests. The following from the St. Paul Pioneer Press makes present humia- tion the deeper:
 The lately published autobiography of John Hav our brilliant secretary of state, reminds that the writing of notes has not always been the favoritc method of American diplomacy. There was the Vene- zuelan affair for instance. In his memoirs Mir Hay tells about it. Germany England and Italy, appears had claims against Venezuela and proposed enforce payment by seizing Venezuelan territory. Arbitration was urged by state department then in charge of MT. Hay. England and Italy accepted, but Germany declined The kaiser could consider such a pro- posa
 Dr. Holleben at that time was the German ambassador The president invited him White House, and told him, according Mr. Hay, that unless Germany consented within days arbrate the American battle fleet commanded by Admiral Dewey would proceed to Venezuelan waters with orders to prevent by force any landing upon venezu- elan soil Dr. Holleben properly shocked. He protested and proposed Conversations on the subject. The president politely interrupted. Says MT. Hay: "The president said he arguing the question because arguments had already been gone over until no useful could be served by repeating them; he simply giving information which the ambassador might think it important to transmit to Berlin"
 Dr. von Holleben, still shocked left week passed Nothing happened. Then the good doctor called upon the president said he had had no word from his government. "The president" says Mr. Hay Informed him in substance that in view of this fact Admiral Dewey would be instructed sail a day earlier than the day he, the president, originally mentioned This left Berlin forty eight hours within which to act. And within thirty-six hours, Emperor William informed this government that Germany scented to arbitration, In making public this piece of news the president paid high compliment to the German emperor for the latters adherence peaceful methods.
 Oh, yes; the of the president of the United States at the time Theodore Roosevelt.
 But there is a rattng around in the chair where Roosevelt sat and the department where John Hay ruled has become the joke and paythng of the world.

Industrial Opportunities

Editor Republican.
 Dear sir:
 For over three years now one has heard the cry of hard times all over the west. and to a large extent and with a great many people the cry has been justified. Conditions today are different than they have ever been before There seems to be an ever growing class that each year are more prosperous than the year pre- viou5. This statement is proven by the fact that in California alone there are 1000 more names on the income tax lists this year than there were last year. This means that there are 40O0 more prosperous people in that state than there were a year ago. ! and one must be considered prosper ous when his income has reached the point where he is compelled to pay income tax.
 On the other hand go into the l 'jungles" just outside the limits of police jurisdiction of any town and you can find really efficient human m" chimes, some without spark plugs but more with no steering wheel
 It is fact A man may learn a trade or profession and let his line be overdone so there is no work for him apd few there are that can Iadapt themselves to other lines that one would think their training and in telligence would qaulify them for To some extent this is also true with merchants. contractors, etc. You will fafi nf oil in the 'jungles"
 Being a mechanic it has been nat ural for me to study conditions ir that line more than any other. Every western town has it's shops. Black smith shops, automobile shops, ma chine shops, etc., but as rule they are simply repair shops. Some weeks they have plenty of work an6 do well, the next not enough to pay lexpenses and as one studies then they realize the short distance it is from the back door to the jungles. Ii is surprising the number there arc that cannot scare up $20 cash fol the purchase of a new tool, and stil they sit around waiting for another good week, never giving thought tC | tIc IdCt tfldt IUelT spare time anC machines could be utilized in tho manufacture of some article ant market for which could be had il their own community Dirty sparl lplugs and defective steering devices.
 A few years ako when the biz trusts were forming it was though that the day of the small manufac. tory was a thing of the past; bu only in cases where costly specia machinery or large capital is neces sary has this proven true.
 In almost every case the cost O trust made articles has increased Igreatly. There are many points tha have brought about these high prices The immense overhead expense o large corporations, the increased cos of labor-The latter is more ia reaching than most people think Large employees are commencing t realize that better treatment must b

No Cause for Hysteria

It is well enough to take proper precautions in a have taken, but citizens should become hysterical. There are probably in Phoenix former citizens of Mexico and, may be, whose ancestors only citizens of Mexico, whose sympathies would be with that country in of between it and the United States. It may be that there whose sympathies already with the bandit, Villa.
 But it should not be supposed that all former cit- of Mexico persons of Mexican descent are of this sort. There sure very few of them, not enough to make much trouble when sober The great body of the Mexican population here and at Tucson is American. The Mexicans among the oldest residents of the community Their fathers lived here and their fathers sTher interests here and they have the desire for the tranquility of the community that their neighbors have.
 The situation in the mining camps, is of course, different. There the Mexcans have come compara- lively recently from their native country. They for the part anti-American. Many of them Villa refugees and therefore might be expected they would join in any uprising, however hopeless and harebraned
 There here criminal Mexicans there criminal Americans. An outbreak between countries would probably be the signal for them to- engage in outawry and for that the city should be in state of preparedness should be against criminal element of similar proportions.

A CHRISTIAN SCIENCE VIEW

Now does the history of the world prove that man kind has reached the point when it's scientific know ledge of good is capable of protecting it against the flow of evil?

 What we mean is that if country emparnS upoi
 course of persistent wrongdoing, it will go even tually to the wall. This the fate or the grea. eastern empires the Medes and the Persians o1 the Assyrans and the Egyptians 1t was the 1ate oi roe and of Greece the fate of the Ottoman and the fate of Snan At the same time during the process Of evo lution in the vitality of those nations was pe
 sapped by their belief in evil the nations which stood in their way learned whether mere belief that right and iustce governed was sufficient protect them
 What became of the freedom of the Hebrew trlpes when the Babylonians descended on "ailiee , anu Judea?

Sewing Circle to Blame

Ajo, Ariz. March 21, 1916 To the Editor of The Arizona Re publican Phoenix, Ariz Dear Sir:
 Why did Villa go into Columbus kill, loot and rob? Simply because MT. Wilson recognized Carranza. The schoolteacher made big mistake when he did this. And I for one say the blood of those poor people of Columbus is upon the hands of our sewing circle president

John Wanamaker sent q brief op,n letter to the Associated Advertising Clubs and managed to say about as much as most men could get into a long address
 He told them that in letl. when he opened his first litu. store, h, spent with the newspapers $25 out of his first days receipts of $2i 67. In recalling that fact he gave to other merchants the only secret attaching ,o ms sae- cess He advertised. he advertised ID the newspapers; he advertised mefe than he could afford to And he won.
 Our little allowance of advertising money, he continued went to tae newspapers then. as Il goes nearly al together to- day. because if ever have d monument for discovering anything 1t will be for finding cut that 5h, enly advertising of direct and instant benefit to both merchant and customer k in the newspaper of known circulation. To have learned this fact has greatly helped my enterprises. though often there has been serious discomfort in saying so publicly and in breaking away from posters and leaflets
