Does Good Follow War?

1T is not hard to place the finger on the
two weak links in the war-struggle argu-
ment. First is the elementary fallacy
that good follows war, therefore war is
the cause of good. Just as reasonably
one may assert that the less antiquated
police system following an outbreak of
crime, or the up-to-date system of sani-
tation installed after an outbreak of
bubonic plague, is caused by crime or
by disease; each of which, therefore, ac-
cordng to Bernhardian sociology, is a
benefcent provision of nature for secur-
ing socially "just decisions" In reality,
the swift progress sometimes made just
after war is due to the prior peace
produced spiritual assets of civilization:
experience, scientific knowledge, social
lied public conscience. War, like crime
and disease, spells social waste that should
have been avoided.
The other weak link in the logic of
social Darwinism is the confusion of phys
zeal struggle with spiritual struggle. So
ciety is a psychic fact and it has been
developed. not by dreadnoughts, but by
discussion; not by the clash of arms, but
by the conflict of ideas; not by the bullets
of embattled soldiers, but through the
ideals of lofty souls.
The great lesson Of history is repeating
itself with frightful emphasis in the
present war. Never before, seemingly,
has there been so cynical destruction Of
the precious assets of civilization, gath
cred with such infinite toll in times OF

IL males in each million of the popu-
lation. For her 450,OOO,OOO people this
means vast host of women who under
monogamy can not find husbands, even
allowing for growing number who pre-
fer celibacy to wedlock. In some of the
warning lands the surplus of potentially
mateless women is much larger than this
average. Before the war Q9l0) the eX-
cess of females in Belgium was 62,204;
in Hungary, 1882; in Austria, SOB, $50;
in France. 645,2ll; in Germany, S45,-
COL; while in European Russia there
were 1929 females to 1000 males. Fur
thermore, if the possible mating of each
woman with some man be natures IDEAL
the social balance-sheet of the British
Isles Q9lD shows the huge deficit Of
1887 POS males. On the other hand, be-
fore the war, Italy Rumania, Bulgaria,
Servia, and Greece had each a consider
able shortage of females.
Here, then, is the crude material the
elemental social fact. What does it
mean? Are we justified in assuming that
an over-supply of females in popula-
ton tends to cheaper womanhood in the
matrimonial market? Or that an under
supply teHus w euhaHce its Naue' IL
so, is womanhood dearer in Servia, Bull
garia, or Italy,-as also in the United
States,-where women are relatively
scarce, than in Austria France, Germany,
or Great Britain, where there is short
age of men? How will the awful destruc-
ton of male life during the war change
the existing social civilizations of the sexes?
Will it degrade womanhood, wifehood, and
motherhood? Is that the meaning of
"war-brdes" and "war-babies"? Are
there offsetting gains? How about the
new varieties of woman's work? Do
these signify enlarged economic indepen-

law of growth. war he explains, ~gives

On the contrary, dare affirm that peace

not psychic factors of supreme value for
predicting any change in the relative
and in the larger society?
Clearly, here we are "up against" big,
many-sided problem in social arithmetic.
To change the metaphor, here is a call for
a prophet who dares read the future only
in the light of the past. Let us appeal to
history.

Militarism and Natures Law

Militarism and Natures Law
CROSS the dim line that divides the
primitive man-animal from his lower
brethren: what is the basic lesson which
we read? That the mother-sex is pri-
mary in natures scheme. The father
sex came later and it was long in social
izng. The father was slow to share
with the mother the burden of caring for
the young. For the female is dominant
in the conservation as well as in the re-
production of life. Accordingly, every
where in the animal world, with few ex-
ceptions, the male appears as the wooer
and the female as the chooser in mating.
Wide liberty of choice on the part of
the female is also the rule among primi-
tive men.
This condition did not endure. Forces
were at work which eventually caused
crisis in womans status: the subverson
of the primitive law of free choice of her
mate. How did it come about that
almost everywhere, in substance if not
always in form, the roles of the sexes
in courtship were interchanged, man
becoming the chooser and woman the
wooer? Through what dire catastrophe

QUESTION TO BE
 DECIDED AT CONFERENCE
(From Saturdays Dsiiy)

To ship in or bring in the booze re- mains a problem that seems to have passed out of the sphere of judicial ac- ton, and the question is to be hand led on February 29th, at Phoenix, by a conference in which common car riers affected are 70 hand down a final deceision. according to reports in circulation yesterday.
 It is stated the traffic and legal de partme1ts of the Santa Fe, the Fl Paso & Southwestern, and the South ern Pacific railroads will at that time discuss a movement by which this fine haired question of conveyance is to be approved or disapproved, inso- far as the manner of their carrying capacity is to be considered, by the proxy route, so to speak. Of course the person who accompanies his goods is free to come in unmolested under the Supreme court decision, or for that matter the opinion of the attor- ney general of Arizona. To date carrying companies into Arizona have been muzzled into a silence that can only be broken when they gather in a few days, and drop the liquid time ball of what is to be.
 Pending this concerted action in mapping out a future line of opera tions, Wells Fargo & Company is still high and dry in accepting liquor shipments and will earnestly await what action will be taken by the rail roads.

KEENER DEMAND FOR
 METALS AFTER WAR
(From Fridays DsiIy.)

Metal producing property will be in keener demand than ever after the war and all commercial metals will be in demand" said Will L. Clark of the United Verde Copper Company in a short talk made at the meeting of the Chamber of Commerce last night.
 MT. Clark has just returned from a trip to the southern part of the State and he said that the mines at both Miami and Ray are making record breaking productions. About 10000 tons per day are being taken out at Ray, and at Miami the progress is wonderful The Inspiration, is turn ing out 13,0O0 tons per day, this be- ing almost the entire capacity of the mill which was built few years ago to handle 15,000 tons. Jerome, he de- clared, is no longer a one-mine town and besides having two big properties, will in time according to present i1di- cations, have others.
 Chairman F. C. Whisman of the finance committee stated that he with Dr. C. E. Yount and H. H. Linney had collected about $l.500 during the past two days among the businessmen tc run the chamber for the coming year.
 F. L. Haworth of the reception and entertainment committee was i1- structed to canvass the city and de termine how many men would attend the semi-monthly or monthly lunch cons planned by the chamber.
 No action was taken on the ques- ton of attempting to obtain mili- tary school at Fort Whipple because the report of the legislative committee on the bill to establish the schools was not completed or presented. Dis cussion arose as to whether 1t would be more advisable for the organiza- ton to attempt to have the fort re- garrisoned or try for the military school. The legislative committee was instructed to report on this phase of the question.

TO SELECT MORE LAND
 FOR THE UNIVERSITY

PHOENIX, Feb. 25.-Steps to in crease the land holdings of the Uni versity of Arizona by S,S69.S6 acres are being taken by State Land Com missioner w. A. Moeur. It is hoped that this area can be added to the university's 57 sections of timber land in Coconino county, which have al ready turned $l1OOOO into the per manent fund of that institution
 In 1881 the national congress pass ed a bill granting each of several ter iitories 72 sections of land for uni versity purposes. Arizona was one of those territories and timber land in what is now Coconino county was selected. But S,S69.S6 acres of the se- lection was rejected because it was on unsurveyed land. Years later the re- jected land was included il the Coco nino national forest.
 For some reason no steps were taken to select any land in lieu of that which was rejected. The matter was forgotten long time until the land commissioner discovered that the uni versity was entitled to moro land. The matter was taken up with Congress man Carl Hayden. who went to the interior department and found that the grant law was still in force and that lieu selection might still be made He has so informed Commis sioner Moeur, who is now planning tl make the selection.

COPPER BLOSSOM
 GROUP IS TO RESUME
(From Saturdays Daily.)

While passing through Prescott yesterday from New Jersey for the Copper Blossom camp near Constel- lation, Judge E. M. Sanford stated that final arrangements are being closed by which early operations are to begin.
 With him as a co-owner, is Charles Born of this city, and during recent months limited development mas been under headway. The showing has reached that stage as to warrant larg- CT development, and with copper prices as an inducement Eastern capi- tai is eager for investment. Judge Sanford for many years was resi- dent of this city, practising law, and while dealing in mines as an operator, became identified with this property.
 The Copper Blossom has "A loca- tions, with over 5000 feet of develop ment. The values are principally copper, with each ton giving half ounce in gold. Shipments nave been made and several tens treated on the ground. One of the desirable features of the location is that the group ad- joins the famous Monte Christo.

PERSONAL USE IS
 DEFINED BY SHERIFF

DOUGLAS. Feb. 25. - A case of booze, a dozen bottles of beer, jug of wine, and no more, IS the official decree of Sheriff Wheeler as to what a person may import into Arizona from the outside without danger of violating what remains of the pro hibition law since the Supreme court decision.
 The instructions were telephoned to Deputy Sheriff Charles Cross by Sheriff Wheeler, who stated that ilc considered person could bring in a case of whiskey, a dozen bottles of beer and gallon of wine, but not to exceed this amount, and be immune from arrest.
 The relaxation will probably result in large hip pockets being worn in Arizona this Summer in order to ac- commodate couple of quarts of fav- orite malt brew, without necessitating tailor's bill every time pocket is stretched beyond the limit.
 The express company and the rail road companies still refuse to accept liquor consignments, however, so the suit case route and hip pocket e1- trance will probably remain fashion able until a change is made in the orders to conform with the new in depreciation of the law.

Jas. Rees, formerly foreman of the Con- gress, is in charge, while Mir. Schmid will look after the affairs generally Of lis company.

Years ago ne was manager of the Phoenix street railway system and he is almost as well known here as in Prescott.
 "I knew that Mir. Heap was in a re- ceptive mood and am pleased that he has announced his candidacy, if such is the case" said State Tax Commis- sioner Tom Campbell this morning. It has been regarded as a foregone conclusion that Commissioner Camp bell could have the Republican gu- bernatorial nomination if he want ed it.
