The A.. P. Again

The members of the typographical union are intelligent and usually stand for all that is best in trades unionisna. But now and then in that excellent organization, find someone has slipped In the latest number of the Typographical Journal We find in report on printing conditions in New York the Associated Press is described as an in famous trust of whose objects is to keep the newspaper field from being fully occupied that but for the exciusiveness of the A. there would be more newspapers
 It is meant that if the A. P would consent to admit to membership all who might apply there would be many other papers than there are now That would not be the case. The A. P would shortly 20 to pieces the larger papers would no longer remain in membership and many of the smaller papers now served would be left without telegraphic service Things would be in much the shape they were before the association was formed
 In spite of the Associated Press the number of newspapers, that is, daily newspapers, is declining Comoination Is going everywhere There have been several of these within the past month IL mas frequently and we believe generally happened that these mergers consist of papers which belong 10 the A. F. The Cleveland Leader, great paper of more than fifty years standing. lately found that it paid no longer to exist alone and allowed itself to oe tsSen over by the Plain Dealer.

A Mexican Strategic Point

Tie town of Ojinaga which figured in the dls- patches of yesterday the locus Of the latest can battle has sort of storm-center throusn- out the Mexican It has been hesiesed taken anu rstaken. It place of no strategic value that i' ;t would be of no value to any other than MeAlcah rsctican It is collection of mud huts and IS sltu- s,.a on the international line It is the key to no other military operations in that vicinity or else where.
 But border towns have always for two reasons held strong attraction for Mexican military gehiuses' In the beginning the attraction was soreid one I each of these towns there was custom house ana customs receipts in annual sums of s1o and upward have been worth fighting for Usually the ammuni- ton wasted worth more than the customs re- ceipts but ammunition isn't money
 Of late no money has been coming into Mexican custom houses For months the smaller ones have been closed and recently the embargo mas stopped the receipts of larger so the border towns have been partially shorn of their attraction for the Mexican militarists But than half the attraction remains. Much the Mexican general loves money there is something else he loves still more-hs precious skin.
 When General Grant planning one of his battles that of Pittsburg Landing, believe criticism was offered by member of his staff that n case of defeat would not be transports enough te carry his army across the river
 Oh yes" replied Grant, fin of our defeat there will be plenty of transports to all that will be left of us" The general was not figuring on defeat
 The Mexican general considers the contingency of defeat first Every battle is arranged with reference io the opportunities for making quick getaway. The border towns afford such opportunities; hence their strategic importance.
 So. at ojnaga, General Espinosa CordoVa hastened to carry himself his high sounding name and sn across the border where he threw down his arms and sought refuge in internment. That was comfortable than hero's grave at Ojinaga- Hundreds of his soldiers followed him across the border but in spite of their nternment we suppose they will be back in Mexico fighting on one side the other.

URGESCHANGES
 FOR EDUCATION

Pointing out the needs of AriZona's
 school system, Professor l.. W. Ffke,
 of the Tempe Normal school, at the
 closing day of the Joint County Teach
 CTS institute yesterday declared that
 the four changes that must be made
 to perfect the educational plant of the
 state are:
 A state board of education, composed of five or seven men, appointed by the governor. they in turn to appoint commissioner of education to study the best methods from a national stand point; a county unit, to appoint the county school superintendent. and take
 these offices completely out of politics. bring the normal schools to four in-
 stead of two years of preparation; and | equip every school in the state with | a movie show to teach the pupils in few hours what it takes years to teach
 orally.
 Advocating business methods, Pro- lessor Ffke urged the teachers to make business men and women of their pu- pills, and to bring them up to the 1 highest measures of efficiency. | Another interesting feature of the | last days program was the lecture by | Rev. w. $. Buchanan of the First l Christian church on Causes of the l War" The minister gives as the cause | for the conflict the fact that the new l commandments which Christ gave the
 world were not obeyed. Had the na- i tions adhered to the commandment, Hove one another" there would have
 been no war, declared Dr. Buchanan.
 Professor Frank c. Lockwood, of the University of Arizona, delivered a lec- 1 ture on the study of Shakesperian 1 tragedy; c. W. Randall. assistant sup erintendent of the city schools, con- l tributed an illustrated lecture on ge-
 ography and Mrs. May McNulty Empey | discussed number work.

AMERICAN EAGLES

There's a u1l-flegded nest of eagles That are slowly taking wings With long encircling movement To where a serpent bares his sting. This serpent coiled in splendor Upon a croncrete base, Would with his coils encircle The whole of the human race. With his beady eyes of wonder. He views with some alarm That with all his gases, fires and thunders He has no power to charm. That these eagles slowly coaring On calm majestic wing, Soon will dart upon him When they will draw his sting. What while these young birds soaring Over mountains, and plains, The old birds have built nest And are getting broody again.
