notion whether he really believed it and whether so expected any intelligent member of his audi ence be so foolish
 But it transpres that Henry was not the originator this extraordinary theory of the engine drivers strain. He had doubtless heard it from Senator Reed of Missouri according to the following communca- ton from MT. Francis Ralston Welsh quoting from the Railway Age Gazette, which it will be observed arrived at almost the mathematic conclusion reached by The Republican reporter.
 As for advocating the joker eight hour law Senator James A. Reed of Missouri democrat said q talked with a who is manifesty Twentieth Century Limited between Chicago and New York He told that by actual mathematics it could be demonstrated that that the engineer holding that throttle had read and record in his brain six signals every second. Eight hours day is long enough for that kind of labor. Eight hours is long enough for the passengers to ride behind under that kind of strain" The truth, pointed out by the Railway Age Gazette, is that this train is by successive engineers, one of which four hours, and that each receives consid erably more than days pay for three four hours work. Even if the train all the way at 60 miles signals a second would mean each IA 2-3 feet! Do want our laws made by people who give vent to such manifest folly?

WHEN WAR CALLS THE WOMEN

A British industrial and engineering commission lately visited France investigate of the greatly increased production of munitions in that country. The commission found it's to be the patriotism of the of France
 The commission finds jealousy the part of the men of France of women's encroachment what was once their realm The commission visited twenty-three establishments engaged in munitions work It reports no general application for advance in wages have been made by the work people since the war began The commission also discovers that erection and equipment for the factories is due to private enterprise and patriotism and that has been subsidized by the government, have loans of any kind been made the owners. Countless shops have abandoned their normal manufacture and adapted machinery to the making of munitions
 The commission found many of the small shops manned by various members of a family, and work ing day and night; perhaps the day shift super intended by the father and daughter and the night shift by the mother and The equipment of these little shops might not have been of the best but the spirit high.
 There seems be talk of standard hours in embattled France There is a break of about two hours at noon which enables the women to look after the meals at home and comfort the children. In most the shifts change every fortnight, and on the change the work people get twenty-four hours off No difference is made Saturdays, the same hours being worked other days. In cases work is done Sunday afternoon. In most cases the women work the hours the men, an allowance being made, however, for time spent on tramway journeys to avoid congestion. There is no restriction the work which the women may do.
 The commission notes with approval the special
  selves to specific article which results in uni form system of labor distribution It appears that the output of small work by the women in some cases eXces that of the men, and the almost entire absence of lost time is noteworthy. In factory employ ing 10000 people there many days when not one late start registered.
 The commission impressed with the extent to which the French factories have been able to inn port machinery, this coming mainly from America, but often from Britain and Switzerland.
 The necessities of a beloved country develop strange capacities In factory of Al women engaged in boring 15 housewives; corset maker; 20 factory girls, four were me- chanics and one florist. In this same factory of S4S women making fuses, 470 had been making trousers.
 Women who formerly dressmakers, chi- drens nurses weavers, tulle makers cashiers hair dressers and typists also among the thousands upon thousands of those who turning out the food for the weapons of France.
 The average pay per day is: For laborers 6O1 francs Ca little more than $1.20;) for machine men, 1042 francs Ca little more than $2) for skilled work ers 1928 francs (about $250); for females mini of 353 francs Ca little than 60 cents) wages, 595 (about $1.20).

Col. Roosevelt at Battle Creek

The arraignment by Colonel Roosevelt of President Wilson's administration his speech Battle Creek on Saturday was sweeping and direct. We do not what the democratic partisans will have to say about it. Replying to the attacks of MT Hughes upon the administration they have called him scold they have said that he has proposed nothing construcve they have asked: What would you have done, MT Hughes?" Of course the inquiry was a childish one. but il was made to serve a reply.
 But it cannot in any circumstances be a reply to the speech of Colonel Roosevelt for he says plainly what he would have done and he points to the record of things he actually did when confronted by sim liar difficulties at home and abroad. He may have left himself open to the charge of exceeding his au- thorty. for instance, in enforcing arbitration of the anthracite strike upon unwilling and powerful corporations, but the strike ended in such a ner as to increase confidence the people in President Roosevelt he had not gained the love of the coal barons and the coal had least their respect and fear
 In contrast with the conduct of President Roose- welt in that inquiry have the weakness, the ardice the lowing to political expediency of Presi- Wilson when he yielded demands of the brotherhoods and permitted their leaders sit in the galleries of the house and with watch in hand ordering the congress to accede their de- mands and investigate afterwards. It has been said that our government had never been so humlated since it scurrying of Washington in 1872 in face inferior force of British who burned the capitol
 Colonel Roosevelt unveils the disgrace of our Mex can relations in which the administration has shifted ground back and forth and finally has sought most crudely to deceive the American people. He might have added, if the information had been available, the administration and the itchen cabinet" had finally prepared the Carranza proclamation which paved the way for the farce at New London where engaged in negotiating, do know what and for a purpose do not know what
 Colonel Roosevelt makes point of the fact that the aim of the administration be to prevent the denouement of any of it's failures until after ton day. The of the eight hour law was not to be made until after election day The New London conference possibly achieve nothing but to keep the useless American troops in Mexico until after election day. Nothing is being done until after elec- ton day. for everything done is a bunder.
 The vacillation of President Wilson was never so pitilessly exposed it has been done by Colonel Roosevelt in his Battle Creek speech and believe it has before been made clear to the Amer ican people how they have been humiated and degraded in the of the world by cowardice the president whose only consistent purpose in the four years he has has been to succeed himself.

ALL POLITICAL PARTIES
 IN UNIVERSAL AGREEMENT

A word to those who are eligible but mot interested" either man or woman. You may not have a special interest in any particular candidate today but it is almost a certainty that before cleo tion day you will be interested in at least one candidate and it is hoped in some complete set of candidates. It costs nothing to register and if you do not register you cannot vote no matter how much you want to a couple of weeks later.
 A word to the women in particular. Perhaps you never voted and are not now inclined tovote. It should be borne in mind that voting is not only a priv ilege but a duty. In the case of others the duty has been thrust upon them. It is virtually a command to all good citizens. The privilege extended to bad people" makes the duty impera- tive on good people. Let's Vote-all of us. one way or another We may know nothing about some of the candidates | but we can find out something about 1 all of them before election day, and it l is more than an even bet that any l eligible person who fails to register l will live to regret it. One man had the right idea who said when he registered: | uoh knoW anyDouy now that am i particularly anxious to vote for but l there is always somebody l want to l vote against"
 And this is presidential year Every l body wants to vote for president if he 1 IS truly representative American and
 no one will admit that he is not a good
 American, even if he isn't. Naturally
 most people in Arizona want to vote for Hughes, for obvious reasons. Blu
 suppose for arguments sake, that ont
 wanted to vote for Mr Wilson. He cannot do 1t unless he registers. It i!

Sensible Suggestion

The United States geological survey has just printed the third edition of its bulletin containing suggestions to authors who submit papers geolog- cal matters The hints on style constitute notably and practical English rhetoric. There are few writers who would profit by a careful study of the pungent suggestions for avoiding alent faults
 The editor of the publication, George McClane Wood points many writers have habit of beginning sentences with There and Tt is" He gives example the sentence, There other primary minerals containing phosphorus" which would be better, Many other primary minerals tain phosphorus" He against sentence like this Precipitation of silver is accomplished in many ways instead of Silver is precipitated in many ways" He justly observes that writers of such sentences use up" their principal verb in the subject and compelled hunt a synonym for the predicate. He points out also, the undesirabity of changing from the active to the passive voice. in the tence, Water absorbed at the surface percolates downward until the of saturation is reached" A better construction would be- until it reaches of saturaton"
 MT. Wood makes no attempt to teach fine writ ing" His object is to induce writers adopt the clear concise style that is suitable geological reports. But his suggestions equally useful to all classes of writers There imbeclities and dundancies into which a large number of writers fall even those of good standing. Woods bulletin is speak fine tooth comb, which, if diligently applied will clear away many blemishes of style.

The Years Cotton

The long staple cotton industry in this valley has been very satisfactory year. Cotton is selling at thirty cents pound against about twenty-two higher The yield too has been good it will always be in this valley if proper taken in the plant ing and cultvating of the crop The growers are not dependent upon uncertain rain; there is no fear of pests. Nothing can be than an abundant cotton crop. Nothing need be left to chance
 Something less than 1000 of land was planted to cotton in the valley this year We have been told that in the Mesa country about 5000 acres will be planted next year. The labor problem has presented no extraordinary difficulties and it not believed there will be any with acreage under 40 OOO which officials of the agriculture department have named the limit for this valley.
 The yield this year has run from three-quarters of a bale to bale and a half per acre. so that the gross proceeds range from $1125O to s225 per acre. From either sum, when the cost of planting and car ing for the crop has been deducted there is hand some remainder This reminds us of statement partment of agriculture. Speaking of long staple cotton and it's growth in the Salt River valley he said that he had visited that region but from what he had heard of it that land ought to be worth Sl 900 an acre.
 It will, perhaps be a long time before land will be and that is that with the growth the cotton raising industry land will be in much greater demand than and the price will be higher

Every political partisan in the state of Arizona, insistently and unanimous ly agrees that the most important work that anybody can do during the next two weeks is to register all eligible voters. Registration closes on October 15, and the time is getting dangerously short for those who have thus far neglected that important duty--and there are lots of them.
 Ir Maricora county less than 17000 registered before the primary, and since then only about 400 more have registered There are thousands Of eligibles who are yet hiding in the brush With most of the male vot- CTS, it is a matter of thoughtlessness or procrastination. With some of them. it may be a lack of interest. With the women who have not yet registered, and there are many of them, there are added reasons. Some are not yet convinced that they want to vote. Others, having never reg istered. have not got the habit are diffident about mixing in politics, or fearful they will make some em- barrassing mistake and do not care to seek the registering office alone
 The directions for registering are very simple. Enter the front door of the county court house and proceed to the first hall on the left side of the corridor. At the end of it will be found the office of the county recorder and right inside the door, Miss Edith Jacobs, or some other capable official will greet the visitor and do the rest or see that it is properly done.
 IT the voter is too far away to con- Veniently reach the court house, he
 can register with any justice of the | peace in the county. But by all means
 he should register somewhere and dc II now Sundry central committee.
 and clubs and leagues are all doing what they can to stimulate registra
 ton but the voter should not wait fol
 them. He should act on his own initia.
 tive in this important matter.
