Congress has been keeping a very
tight rein on all matters of legisla-
ton, and Notwithstanding the excite
ment and uneasineSs growing out of
the serious condition of foreign af-
fairs, the members of Congress have
been taking care of appropriation
bills and routine work just as
though there was nothing unusual
in the present situation. There con-
tinues to be a consistent demand
from all parts of the country favor
ing early action at the present ses-
sion with reference to the stephens
Ashurst bill. This measure has fire.
Quently been referred to in this cor
respondence as intended to protect
the merchants in the smaller towns
against the piratical methods of
metropolitan merchandising that
have resulted so much to their in
jury. The trading stamp, coupon,
mail order, and cut rate department
store establishments have come out
in the open and are no longer hiding
their identity in attempting to de-
feat the efforts to clean house at
their expense. All of the biggest,
well-known manufacturers and nat
ional advertisers, and almost every
country storekeeper in America is
demanding federal supervision, such
as the investigations of the Federal
Trade Commission show to be re-
quired in the interests of honest deal
ers. The Bureau of Corporations to-
gether with the Department of Com
merce reached the same conclusions.
A majority of the members of Con-
gress have committed themselves in
favor of this legislation However
there is always too much politics in
Washington during a presidential
campaign year. Particularly for this
reason the letters pouring in on the
Congressman, demanding legislation,
are having their stimulating effect
and there ought to be more such
letters.

Geneva, Switzerland, May Ii
From Brescia the Swiss Alpine troops
in the Stelvio Pass have noticed a
slim italian girl aged about Is arm
ed with rife climbing the snow
covered paths almost daily up to the
Austrian frontier and spending most
of the day there. One of the Swiss
soldiers inquired what she was doing
The Italian girl replied fiercely:

revenge. | think | have killed four
Austrians but that Is not enough. 4

Under the theory that might makes
right, and misapplication of the
doctrine of the survival of the fit
test" the system of merchandising in
America has been completely revo-
lutionized within the past quarter
century. The metropolitan stores that
have sought to maintain the high
standards in the quality of merchan-
disc, have been forced to compete
with ever-increasing unscruplous
methods on the part of stores that
catch the public" by means of
bargain sales" and by an occasion
al cut-rates on standard articles in
tended to keep the crowd moving
along their isles. BY these methods
unprincipled dealers grab off sales
and profits that would not be pos
sible were there any laws in the way
OF supervising dishonest merchan-
dising. The country merchant is the
worst sufferer of all, and the ever-in-
creasing amount Of trade that is
logically his, and which goes to mail
order houses and sensational depart
ment stores in the city, would stay
at home II there was some new legis-
lation to effectually regulate the
price-cutters. The trusts and public
service coporations have all been be-
fore the bar of public opinion, and
Congress and the state legislatures
have made rules for their govern
ment. The present attempt on the
part of Congress to permit the manu-
facturer of nationally advertised
merchandise to fix the resale price, is
in the logical line of progress, and
is intended to save the condition of
the manufacturer, protect the news
papers and other periodicals with
their advertisers, and to relieve the
small merchant who has built up
his business in narrow circle
among people who deal with him be-
cause they know him to be honest,
against that class of merchants and
mail order men who have been film

The National Capital
Tanning the public for many years

Secretary Daniels has admitted to
a committee of Congress that he
finds it very difficult to get sufi-
cient number of recruits for the
navy. He says that it would be
simply marvellous if the navy could
get as many as 10000 new men in
a year. and to keep up the number of
men needed to provide for the loss
resulting from $4,000 expirations of
enlistment annually, requires a con-
slant effort on the part of the De
partment. A few years ago the pay
of soldiers and sailors in the service
of the United States was ridiculously
low, but even with financial induce
ments such as are offered by the
government, the opportunity for
more lucrative work outside of the
Navy, is responsible for men seeking
private employment. Mr.. Daniels
has had a great deal of experience
in advertising and publicity fields, by
reason of the fact that he is the
owner of a newspaper. He recently
asked Congress for $4,000 to pro-
vide for recruiting stations, and at
tractive literature has been arranged
for display, that it is hoped will in
duce men to become sailors and ma
rines on dreadnaughts and cruisers.

The question of granting indie
pendence to the Philippine Islands is
commanding serious attention upon
the part of Congress, and while
there are those who are pushing for
action, yet the probabilities are that
some more resolutions in national
political platforms will be required
before any definite action is taken by
Congress.
Rural credit is also up for con-
sideration, but it appears that the
big insurance companies. the trust
companies and other money lenders,
are on the job; and they believe the
present high rates of interest should
not be meddled with. Therefore they
are fighting all forms of rural
credits, which might result in loans
to western farmers at four or five
per cent.

The troubles of Nathan Cohen,

over, the unfortunate man having
died few days ago in a sanitarium
near New York. Several years ago
Cohen came to the United States
from Brazil and engaged in business
at Baltimore. According to the alien
law an immigrant who becomes a
public charge within three years of
landing must be taken to the coun-
try from whence he came. Cohen
was deported, but the Brazilian
authorities would not accept him, S
he was sent to Argentina, where ht
was refused landing. Then followe,

Toxic, May 1.-THE demand for
Japanese cotton cloth of various
kinds is steadily increasing in China,
India and Russia, where stocks of
European goods are beginning to run
short on account of the continuation
of the war. Before the war Japan re-
ceived from England a supply of cot
ton cloth of superior quality but she
is now supplying England with large
quantities of this material. Pessim-
istic views are, however, expressed
in some quarters in Japan as to the
future of the cotton cloth trade be-
cause the manufacturers are expert
encing considerable difficulty in OBJ
tanning the necessary supply of dyes,
stocks of which are fast diminishing.
Japan is now trying to manufacture
her own dyes.

Nggardly indeed is anyone who would withhold suol tribute is deserved by notable display of courage The splendid example by the Arizona Republican r regarding with admirable forude the somewhat skinny total of GOP-ers who registered for the primar! election Tuesday should cheer the fantng hearts of tho little band of voters who None mistake th, unconquerable spirit of our esteemed contemporary whistles in the dark, thus:
 Republicans should be discouraged by the re spective demonstrations the parties the primar ies Of course they will discouraged at that or by the discrepancy strength their party and that of the Democratic party shown by the regis tration Only that part of the undecided vote which always desires to be the stronger side vii allow itself swayed by appearance of superior numbers"

 The Right Dope.
 In the issue of the Sth, the story of the history of the train robberies in Cochise County was slightly mixed according to Chief of Police George Bravin. who was in several of the mix ups with the train robbers. The first train robbery in Cochise County was at Cochise, and was pulled off by Grant Wheeler and Joe George. Wheeler was killed by a posse who were following him in northern New Mexico under the leadership of De- tective Breckenridge of the Southern Pacific Company George was never captured. Alvord and his gang had nothing to do with this job. The next iob was pulled off at Cochise by Matt Burts and William Stiles. but was planned by the above named and Burt Alvord and William Downing. The next job was at Fairbank in Feb ruary. 1900, and was pulled off by Jack Dunlap, better known as Three Fingered Jack, the two Owens broth CTS, Bob Brown and John YOst.
