pr. Douglas and Arizona

Dr. James Douglas who died in New York last Tuesday. deserves the gratitude of Arizonians He than any other brought the great resources of the state to the attention of able to develop them. and. moreover, he mobilized the capital for their development That Arizona territory was rich n mineral was, of course known before Dr. Douglas came. Many mines being operated in a small way. and other more ambitious operations car ried halngly or had failed. At that time, only the very rich copper ore, the least refractory, was sought. Much of the ore low grade refractory might well have been granite sandstone so far 1t figured in mining operations.
 pr. Douglas sought in large quantities and applied the best known methods to it's reduction, always seeking newer and better ones, and in that way he built up and extended the great properties of his company and so stimulated interest in this region that other great groups of capital brought in with the result that Arizona leads all other pot- cal divisions in the production of copper
 In those days copper lower priced than at present and time came when it still lower, eight a pounds but the price. what it was did not affect the growth of the enter prses under the control of Dr. Douglas and his ciates.
 pr. Douglas much more than a great mining engineer. He was a naturalist and business man. a student and captain of industry. He in Arizona than copper. and he set about bringing it to the surface. A great railroad is a monument to his efforts.
 We suppose that 1t is largely through the re- searches of Dr. Douglas and his activities that Arizona is well and favorably known; thus in that respect. we owe more to him than to any half hundred other men.

SHOULD EXPLAIN WOOD CASE

The country does not know why General Wood was permitted to train division for service abroad to make his preparations to go abroad with it, was then suddenly halted on the of sailing and ordered to stay at home. No information has been given it. It has heard rumors that the order given for political and counter reasons it given because of the jealousy of other officers It does not know what to believe and it is undoubtedly disturbed.
 Whether it is the administrators duty to itself to make known the real reason is question for the administration to decide but it is obvious that it the administrations duty to the country. If the a. mnistration's is good it may decide to bear unjust mputations in silence, regarding that the nobler part But it is not merely matter of the feelings of the administration It is serious matter concerning the country. For the uncontradcted that political grudges, personal spite military jealousy is responsible for the withholding of any capable officer from giving the country the service needs from him will have bad effect the trys morale It will spread doubt, chill enthusiasm. The administration cannot permit such chilling and disheartening suspicion to spread among the people at time so critical as this-New York Times.

CHILD LABOR LAWS
 WILL BE OBSERVED

The government will observe state child labor laws, where such laws are standard, Thomas J. Croaff, federal la- Dor director for Arizona, announced yesterday
 The Arizona child labor laws are good ones," he said, although, of course there is ground for improve ment. The United States has no child labor laws at present, since they were recently declared unconstitutional by the supreme court. Therefore, the de- partment of labor has outli certain rules to govern it's employment service. These rules will be carried out in Ari- zona. They are in brief that no child under 16 shall work in the mines; no child under 14 shall work in mills or canneries, and children between 14 and Is may be employed in certain indus tries eight hours a day, six days a week. between 6 o'clock in the morning and o'clock in the evening"

The Main Question

The business interests of Phoenix, with a full and proper appreciation of the water level and the greater irrigation problem, have placed themselves strongly behind proposed bond issue by the city in the of s1OOOoO towards its solution. Their interest in the water level feature is immediate and direct Their interest in the greater irrigation feature, though parently less direct, is the less vital
 The proposed reduction of the level by pumping whereby there will be developed water for much larger acreage than be served by the gravity system will mean, of course, bigger Phoenix This city derives it's sustenance wholly from its agricul tural surroundings If there such surround ings, there would be town here. If we had only 10000 acres there would be a small village; if had twice as many have, or 50O0O 100000 more Phoenix would be much more of town than it is
 The farmers themselves, the water users. will of course. be called upon to bear greater part of the expense of the solution. They interested chiefly and directly in the water level feature of problem some of them very immediately and directly for their lands threatened There others though, whose lands situated that they canno, be personally touched by any rising level
 Yet their interest in the reduction of the level is hardly less than that of their fo~unately situ- ated neghbors. for If any considerable area of the lands of the valley should become unproductve the value of every of land in the valley would We will suppose that there only half as many irrigable acres of land here Would any of it be worth as much as 1t is now?
 Both the farmers safely above the level and those dangerously near it have exactly the n- terest, and 1t is great in the bringing of land under cultivation. Their interest is the that of the city in an increased acreage we will nave greatly increased acreage a result of the relief of the water level by adequate pumping System.
 We can think of reason why any citizen any water in the valley should hesitate to undertake his share of the expense of putting into effect this plan half remedial and half actively beneficial

Money and Money Grubbers

Money is not everything. In fact. it is not much It is only sign of something. The trouble with so many people is that they mistake it for the real stuff. In mistakng it, they misapprehend tho character of the whom they regard as successful for other reason than that they have accumulated much of this sign of success. They think they are money grubbers when they are nothing of the sort There are two kinds of these who not money Erubbers and kind is better than the other and both better than the money grubber who only iniser of some degree
 One kind of men who not money grubbers consists of those who accumulate money for the good use they can make of 1t. for making other people better and happier The other kind is made up of men who properly regard the accumulation of money

SHIP TON NAE
(PopuIar Science Monthly.l

The different uses of tonnage terms when speaking of ships are causes of confusion to the lay mind. Why ships cannot be really compared according to tonnage is explained by Capt. c. A. McAllister, engineer in chief, United States coast guard. For example, he states. steamship companies, in order to impress relative safety to their craft, will advertise the sailing of a certain steamship of 20,000 tons, meaning, Of course, gross tons. The company's agent, in entering it at the custom house, will take precaution to certify that she is only 7.340 tons. when paying tonnage taxes. He then is referring tc her net tonnage, and, in fact, tha, standard is used only when paying dues or taxes.
