TAFT'S CLEAN SLATE"

Apropos of the remark of ex-
President William Howard Taft
that he left President Wilson "a
clean slate" when he turned over
the reigns of the government,
made recently in a speech attack
ing the Mexican policy of the
latter, attention is called to the
editorial below, taken from the
Springfield Republican ian indie
pendent newspaper):
"As an example of shameful
and ignoble' avoidance of the
duty of a president of the United
States to protect American citi-
gems from murderous attacks by
foreigners, the following extra
ordinary passage in an official
message from the president to
the governor of Arizona should
prove exceedingly effective in the
hands of Mr.. Hughes while he is
on the stump:
a" The pressure for general
intervention under such condi-
tions it might not be practicable
to oresist. 1t is impossible to fore
see or reckon the consequences
of such course and we must use
the greatest self-restraint to
avoid it. y Cannot, there
fore, order the troops at Douglas
to cross the border, but must
ask you and the local authorities,
in case the same danger recurs,
to direct the people of Douglas
to place themselves where bullets
cannot reach them and thus avoid
casualty
''The president of the United
States, in that message, was not
confronted with the question of
protecting the lives of Amer
lean citizens in Mexico; the only
question was the protection of
the lives of American citizens
from Mexican bullets in the
United States. Instead of re-
moving the cause of the killing
of our citizens in their own coun-
try, the president directed that
American citizens resident in |
Douglas, Ariz., should hide in |
their cellars when Mexican bullets
were flying about! How csn'

RIPLEY'S RAILROAD

E. P. Ripley, one of the bitter
est leaders against the Brother
hoods fight for the eight-hour
law, who announced that his
railroad would not obey the law,
is president of the Santa Fe
Railroad.
Despite the fact that So, 500, 900
is charged to loss due to storms,
fires and floods in it's territory,
the Santa Fe Railroad, in its Of
fetal statement of expense for
the fiscal year ending June 80,
1916, announces that the net
earnings of the road show an in
crease of So, 457, 1893 over the pre-
ceding year. Mr.. Ripley. signs
the statement.
Enough said.

Miners Short
Course at UA.

The Short Course for Miners at
the University of Arizona starts
on October 30th. Last year the
short course was initiated upon a
new plan-two weeks were de-
voted to every subject given,
each subject relating directly to
the one preceding and following
it. This year the arrangement
will be somewhat different Last
year the first six weeks were de-
voted to blowpipe analysis, min
|eralogy and elementary geology,
and it was found that almost all
students attended the three
courses. Hence, this year from
October 80 to December 2 these
three subjects will be given SIM
|ultaneously. The same applies
to field geology, assaying and
metallurgy courses, the fiotation
and the miners courses.
The object of these courses is
to give the working men of the
State an opportunity of attending
the University for short period,
in order to get in concentrated
form information and training
that will enable them to better
their own positions. To many of
these men practical knowledge
has formed the major part of
their education, while the funda-
mental principles on which their
practical work depends is un-
known to them. Because a man
knows many minerals is precise
ly the reason why he should take
a course in mineralogy. Many
of our prospectors know much
geology, but it is surprising what
the past has revealed in the short
course in geology. The Univer-
sity is organized to reach the peo-
pie and to serve the people, and
the short course is one of the
many ways of so doing.
A pamphlet has been issued on
the short course for miners which
may be had upon application to
the dean of the College of Mines
and Engineering, University of
Arizona, Tucson, Arizona.

THE EICHT.HOUR LAW


Senator Robert M. La Toilette
of Wisconsin, the only republi-
can senatorto vote for the eight
hour law, in signed editorial in
the September issue of his mag
azine, defends the passage Of the
above law and endorses the senti-
ments of President Wilson's
speech at Shadow Lawn, Satur-
day, September 23d,
Says the Senator:
'The Eight-hour law Is not a
force bill. The railway employees
demanded an eight-hour day from
the railroads. They made no
demand on Congress. AS was
their right, they set a day to quit
work in case their demand was
refused. Then the railroads in
augurated a strike against the
public. They refused to accept
freight for shipment, especially
perishable goods, in many parts
of the country. They spent
tremendous sums of money in an
Effort to influence public senti-
ment and this money must event.
ually come out Of the pockets of
people. The strike meant appal-
ling disaster to farmers, to fruit
growers, great damage to all
business, including the railroads.
"The President was not sue
cessful in averting the disaster,
the railroad managers being par
ticularly obstinate and refusing
to concede the principle of the
eight-hour day. The President
put the matter up to Congress,
and Congress, considering only
the public good, acted in the
public interest. 1t was not forced
by any demands of the working
men or of the railroads. The
public interest demanded i'm
mediate action. and Congress
acted and passed the law. Every
Wisconsin representative present
voted for the bill. and / believe
they were right in doing so. I
believe in the eight.hour day.
did Congress act without due
consideration The question Of
the eight-hour day for skilled
labor was not new. Every con.
gressman alive to the issues Of
the day must have been familiar
with the subject.
when the sixteen-hour limit
alton for railroad employees was
under consideration it was met
by the same argument made
against the eight-hour law. Rail-
roads and some other large en-
ployers are slow to learn, but
experience has abundantly shown
that for the trades, professions
and crafts where skill, courage
and caution are required, the
eight-hour day is the maximum
of efficiency .....

CHAMPION WILLARD
Will Be Here with the Sells
Floto Circus, Friday,
October 9th
THE wild-d-d-d-d man! Here

4AC WlA0-u-0-O-o Ahoh' 44SAS
y'are, here y'are--"
All of which concerns the
ballyhoo man. An unexpected
member Of the circus life he is,
working day and night, his lungs,
his throat tul ming to leather, or,
at least, to the consistency of it
that the wonders beneath the
canvas may be told Of. He is a
person of ancient lineage, for he
came with the first mountebanks
which precede the circus itself.
And just as the great canvases
are needed, so he is needed.
Thus it is that soon again there
will come the sound of his case
and the bowling reverberation of
his appeals to ''step inside. 4" For,
on Friday, October 9th, the
Sells-Floto Circus and Buffalo
Bills Original Wild West Cham
pion Shows Of the World come to
Stafford.
According to the most ironclad
promises to those in advance of
the circus, everything is larger
this year. The elephants are
bigger, the peanuts have larger
humps on them, the old Dead
wood stage coach is older, and
even the lions and tigers have
Joined the augmentation by add
ing to their families.
Many are the novelties, many
are the new acts, many are the
surprises. For this year the
Sells-Floto Circus is larger and
more wonderful than ever be-
fore.
Principal, of course, among
the offerings is the champion of
thering, Jess Willard. The heavy
weight champion of the world,
Jess Willard, will be introduced
in his old role of cowboy, riding
at the head of the Buffalo Bill
Wild West Cowboys. In the
concert he will spar several
rounds with one of his boxing
partners, illustrating how he
knocked out the erstwhile colored
champion, Jack Johnson. He
will also illustrate the punches
given in his latest fight at Madi-
son Square Garden with Frank
Moran.
But that is only the start of
the attractions. There is to be
the whole great circus-including
an all-champion program. And
let it be known now that these
combined attractions are for one
price of admission. In the all
champion program there is in
cluded Rosa Rosaland, champion
equestrienne of the world; Lucia
Fora, champion woman elephant
trainer; Rhoda Royal and high
school horses; to say nothing of
the forty fun-making clowns.
But what is the use of going
into the whole story? 1t can't
be told in sentences, for there is
too much. Therefore the simplest |
thing is that the Sells-Floto Circus
is coming to town, and will give
two performances on Friday, |
October 9th, at 200 and 800
p.m while the doors are to be |
opened one hour earlier to give
all a chance to visit the mena-
gerie.

UNTO THE LEAST OF THESE

Whosoever shall give a cup of
cold>wate in My name to one of
the least of these
In all times psychologists have
noted the phenomena of social
revolutions and been able to write
voluminously on all aspects of
such events.
Such a time and such a crisis
in human affairs came upon the
passage of the Child Labor Bill.
Those people who had pro-
phesied industrial disaster and a
general upheaval in family life
in those sections of the country
were able to see within a very
short time what an immense
stride forward had been made
along the new path which had
been blazed.
When 100000 children were
released from factories and given
the blessed privilege of life, liber-
ty and the pursuit of happiness,
instead of homes being desolated
and widowed mothers being left
with no means of support, it at
once became apparent that the
industrial situation was better off
than ever before.
Out of the probable 300, 900
adult workers who will replace
the child in the factory and mill,
a very large percentage will
themselves be the parents of
children, who in turn will receive
a direct benefit.
At the Woman's Bureau,
Democratic National Headquar-
ters, etc., hundreds of letters are
being received daily from all over
the country asking for literature
on the Child Labor Bill. To
many a mother this has been the
climax of moving picture which,
has been enacted for a century.
Women like to read love stories,
and no love story was ever writ
ten which exceeded this one in
interest, the story Of the love of
little children. That a Demo-
cratic Congress and a Democratic
President wrote this greatest
love story of the century on the
statute books appeals all the
more because it was man-made
measure, the complete home unit
being involved.
How will it affect the child?l
The answer is in posperity. A
crippled, MANNED posperity
might never reach the sublime
heights to which it is now possible
to ascend. |
The cup of cold water is the
baptismal fount of future gener-
etions. |

The Peop,e Pay.

The people Of the United States are
paying war prices for great many ar
ticles Of everyday use because those
articles are not produced at home. In
other words, they are having prac-
teal demonstration at so much per of
the democratic free trade idea. The
idea is that we ought to buy where we
can buy cheapest. 1t may have worked
In the old days, but 1t doesn't work
now, because all the cheap sources Of
supply are closed If the old Repub-
lican idea Of protecting industry In our
own country had been followed con-
slstently for the last ten or fifteen
years we should have had factories
busy in the production Of all these
things, and our people would be able
to purchase them AT reasonable prices
Right now the mistake Of abandoning
the theory Of protection is costing the
people of this country more than II
costs any European nation to do its

the grave danger incurred by neutral

marines" Counsellor Polk announced
the departments position, but refused
to discuss the reasons for it.
The claim Of the allies that subma-
rines are outlaws, as the note cabled
from London shows, brought up the
question Of whether the American
government may be sued for damages
resulting from the call of the German
submarine U-53 at Newport before she
started on her spectacular raid against
commerce. The allies may take the
position that Newport was made the
base Of operations which officials es-
timated already have caused at least
sc, 1000 900 damage to allied shipping
and trade. This government, how
ever, holds that a warship has right
to enter a neutral harbor and that the
U-53 in no way is attempting to make
Newport a base.

Earle is 26 miles from Memphis, on

ern Railway. The land is well i'm
proved, convenient to the Memphis
market and the shipping facilities are
all that could be desired.

as we'll as cotton. His plantation at
