While the city editor does not
write the editorials and has moth
ing to do with the editorial policy
of his paper, the news that he and
his staff gather up influence the
tone of those editorials, especially
in regard to local affairs. So all
men stand in awe of him, and all
wish to stand we'll in his opinion.
From a governor down to a dog
catcher stand in fear of his mighty
pen and try to court his favor at
every opportunity. as he exercises
control over the community

than is the power Of the highest
official. Woe to the evil-doers
whose trail he once gets on, for
there is nothing they fear more
than to be exposed in the public
press; and when the city editor
and his staff of shrewd reporters
start after them they had better
pack up and leave that part of the
country, for he is the man who
swings public opinion, either for
or against those who deserve it.
His job is to get the true facts and
publish them, for it is the truth
about themselves that men fear
more than all the lies and false
hoods that could be heaped up
against them.

The city editor replied: Il put
that fire on the front page. and
your article following it, because
the fire was of more interest to the
great body of our readers at that
moment than what campaign in
Cuba would be. And, my dear sir,
if you don't like it, go and register
your kick with the chief" (The
managing editor is generally called
chief by the rest of the newspaper
staff.)
The correspondent did so; but
the chief upheld the city editor.
Usually the city room of great
daily is very large room equipped
with a number of desks, and on
most of these desks there are type
writer's, which are used by the
staff of reporters directly under
the city editor. Adjoining the
city room are the Offices of the
sporting editor, the society editor,
the financial editor, the staff pho
tographers and the special feature

writer's, all of whom are to a cer-
tain degree under the authority of
the city editor.
AS I have stated previously, all
news copy passes under the eye of
the city editor. Some of it he
reads over, but the greater part he
just barely looks at, for he can tell
at a glance, almost, whether it is
good copy or bad; that is, whether
it will make interesting news to
the public or not. After he passes
on it, it is handed over to what are
called copy readers, who read it
over carefully, making all neces-
sary corrections, such as gram
matical construction, spelling,
punctuation and capitalization. The
proper heading is then written
over it and it is sent to the COM
posing room.
Beginning at eight o'clock in the
morning and lasting right through
until two O'Clock in the afternoon,
the city room is a veritable bee
hive of industry and nervous ener-
gy. There is no thought of lunch
or anything else until the last form
has gone to the press-room. Re-

to consult with the city editor
about the layout of the paper;
about noon the head pressmen
shows up to find out how soon he
can get the last forms, and if there
is likely to he an extra edition or
not. In fact, everyone who has
something on his mind he wants
to find out about rushes up to the
city editor to get the desired in
formation, until finally he gets
wild-eyed and his hair is standing
on end, and to speak to him about
the weather or any other such
idle subject is as much as a mans
job is worth, if he is employed
there, or if he is an outsider, he is
promptly escorted to the door
with the least possible ceremony.
When young man is accepted
for position as ''cub" reporter on
the city editors staff, there is one
word he must remember to forget,
and that is the word cant" That
word is unknown in the vocabulary
of the city room. If he mentions
it to the city editor, he will
promptly tell him that there is one
thing he can do, and that is for
him to 60 to the cashier and draw

A Bukidnon warrior equips

knife and lance are the offensive
weapons, while a large wooden
shield of characteristic form is
used for defence.
The Bukidnons love music and
dances, and the women and girls
very gracefully manipulate ker-
chiefs or shawls between their ex-
tended fingers, moving with pc
culiar gliding step wholly different
from any thing l ever saw among
other Philippine tribes.
The first time that 1 approached
a Bukidnon town 1 was met by a
fully armed warrior, who was
brandishing a formidable lance
with a bell on the end of it's long
handle. This looking
individual danced about in the most
astonishing fashion; making faces,
thrusting out his tongue and shak-
ing his lance as if about to run
me through. Though l was ex-
pected to smile appreciatively at
this rather alarming display-for
he was only welcoming me to the
town. could hardly forget how
absolutely man is at the mercy
of an armed savage.
The last time | was in the Philip
pines, May, 1911, [ heard that the
Bukidnon villages had we'll attend
ed schools and are connected with
telephone lines, which are freely
used.
These people are converting
their beautiful and naturally rich
country into a checkerboard, with
roads and trails for dividing lines.
They are giving up their pictur-
esque native costume so rapidly
that l found typical garments hard
to buy. A fact which is to be re-
gretted. as the garb of the Fill
pinos, which they are adopting, is
not as appropriate or serviceable,
and is far less picturesque.
BULANGANEs: The Bulanganes
inhabit a forested and mountainous
region in southern Mindanoa, ex-
tending over some forty-five miles
from Tamontaca toward the south
east coast. Ali I could find out
about this tribe was, that they
were so savage and fierce that even
the Moros are afraid of them and
call them bad people.
GUIANGAs: The Guiangas in
habit the northern and eastern
slopes of Mount Apo and the river
Mala and its tributaries, in the dis
trict of Dawao. This tribe seems
to be in all respects similar to the
Bagobos, although they speak a
peculiar dialect. As near as l
could find out, this tribe numbered
about 6,40O; and although l saw
them only once, it would be hard
for me to say. whether they are
really tribally distinct from the
Bagobos. 1 think it was another
case of two sections of a tribe with
two distinct dialects, like two
groups of Benguet Igorots, speak
ing Kakanai and Nabaloi respec-
lively.
The IFUaAos: The Ifugaos are
a powerful, warlike, head-hunting
tribe, numbering about 125, 900.
They inhabit a very mountainous,
but for the most part, interested
region in the central part of north
ern Luzon, which formerly consti-
tuted the northwestern portion of
the province of Nueva Vizcaya,
but has now been made a SUBJ
province of the Mountain Province
and bears the name of the tribe.

has nothing to do with the editorial
policy, neither has he anything to
do with the advertising and circu-
lation departments. But the sue
cess of metropolitan daily does
not lie in the hands of these de-
partments, as is generally sup
posed. Its success or failure de-
pends on how much interesting
city news it is able to publish; how
close to the truth it keeps; the
manner in which it presents that
news, and how quickly it places it
before the eyes of the public.
To give an example of the
authority of the city editor, not
only over the news that comes
directly under his head, but of the
foreign news and correspondence
as we'll, I will give this illustration.
which actually took place on GER
tain large city daily:
Large newspapers employ, dur
the time of a great war, what are
known as war correspondents, to
whom they pay very large salaries,
and who are men Of marked ability,
not only as news. getters, but are
without fear and will venture into
places where most men less brave
would never dare think of going.
Also, these men are way above the
average in intelligence; they not
only have to know several Ian
guages beside their native tongue,
but must be shrewd diplomats as
we'll. In fact, most of them would
rank far above some of the ambas-
sadors who represent the various
governments to-day.
One of these war correspondents
was employed by this certain large
daily, of which I mentioned, dur
ing the Spanish-American War,
and was sent with the U. S. army
to Cuba, and, of course, his ar
ticles were generally given 'front.'
page space; but it so happened that
he sent in one of his most impor-
tant reports--the report of an en-
gaeement between the Spaniards
and the Americans-just at the
time that a terrible fire Was raging
in the heart of the city in which
the paper was published. His re-
port of the battle filled three COL
umns, and it was already in type
when the fire broke out. The or
der came from the city editor to
place it on the front page, but up
on seeing the first reports of the
fire and realizing the magnitude
and Importance of the confagra-
ton, he countermanded the order,
having the first and second pages
left open for the fire and putting
the war correspondence and all
telegraph news of Importance back
on the third page.
In due course a copy of that
particular days edition reached
the correspondent. and he, notic-
ing that his report of the engage
ment had been shifted to the third
page to make room for the story
of a ''paltry fire." was very
wrath, and he resolved that when
he returned he would have it out
with the city editor. After the
close of the Cuban campaign he
was called home by the managing
editor, and one day went into the
''city' room and jumped on the
city editor in the following man
ner:
"Who gave you the authority to
relegate one of my most important
dispatches on the Cuban campaign
to the back part of the paper
where nobody could see it9" and
without waiting for a reply from
the astonished editor, he went on:

 There will be at least one licensing officer in each eeuhty,l and more agents will be designated if the coun- ty is sufficiently large to warrant it. If a state has laws providing for system of licensing persons manufac- turing, storing, selling or using explo- sives, the state officials authorized to issue such state licenses shall be des- ignated as federal licensing agents; also city officials qualified to issue city explosives licenses will be given authority to issue federal licenses. A federal license will not relieve any person from securing licenses requir- ed under state laws and local ordi- nances.
 In each state there will be appointed state explosives inspector, who will represent the bureau of mines in the administration of the law within the state.
 Only citizens of the United States or of countries friendly to the United States and the allies may so obtain licenses.
 Contractors, mining companies, quarrymen and others using large quantities of explosives, which are handled by employees, may issue eX- plosives to their employees only through those employees holding a i- cense, called a foreman's license.

OLD TIMES PARTY

Mrs. W. P. Carr was hostess to a very delightful party last week. Each guest was a pioneer, having arrived in Kingman decade or more ago. Sev- eral, including the hostess, were here before the railroad. The occasion was in honor of Mrs. L. NJ. Potts of Santa Ana, who is visiting with friends here. Mrs. Potts first came to Arizona 46 years ago.
 Old times were talked over and sev- eral related their early experiences in Kingman.

 help but look upon the mines as the most vital need of the hour, for they are paying 57 per cent of the taxes of the state under this years valuation, and the most obtuse taxpayer must realize that it is highly desirable to his own pocketbook that the mines have every opportunity that can be af- fOrded them to operate at full capacity and make the earnings which will keep them paying the bulk of the states running expenses.
 As compared with the 57 per cent of the. taxes paid by the imnes, the railroads pay 1880 per cent; lands and improvements 7.S0 per cent; live stock $40 per cent. All other taxable prop erty makes up the balance, amount ing to 1920 per cent.
