McAdoo and Mrs Sayre. daughters of President Will son, have arrived at the White House, having hastened to the capi- tai to be near their father during his illness.

CHICAGO TAXES
 THIRD CAME OF
 WORLDS SERIES

CHICAGO, Oct. 3.-In the pres ence of more than forty thousand baseball fans, the Chicago White Sox redeemed themselves this aft ernoon by shutting the Cincinnati Reds out in the third game of the Worlds series, the score being, Chi cago 8. Cincinnati 0. The victory is attributed to the phenomenal pitching of Kerr. who allowed only three hits, and those scattered. The Sox were not in danger at any time
 Ray Fisher pitched a fair game for the Reds, but his fielding was poor, an error helping the SoX 10 win their victory Chicago made three runs, seven hits, and played an errorless game. The Reds did not make any runs, secured only three hits, and made one error.
 The fourth game of the series will be played here tomorrow.
 Interest in today's game was such that the crowd began gathering at the park at midnight. and there was 2 tremendous rush for seats up to the time the game started. The betting this morning favored the Reds. with plenty of Cincinnati money and few Chicago packers in sight. Odds of to were offered by the visitors.
 The outcome of today's game has changed the betting, the Cincinnati ans now demanding even money or tomorrow's- game.

TRANSPORT WORKERS
 CANNOT GET ACTION

LONDON, Oct 3.-The threat of the transport workers of this corn- try to call general strike is re- ceiving small consideration by off, cials of the government, who take the view that any action of the stevedores at this time is of little consequence, for the reason that the railroad strike has so upset con- Gitions that another strike would not add greatly 10 the general chaos.
 Premier Lloyd George informed representatives of the transport workers yesterday that 1t would be useless for the government to con- tinue negotiations with them so long as the raiiwaymen are out.

ernment for the period of the and afterward, until congress shall order otherwise"
 In the next place, the president with proper re- gard for the welfare of his own party doubt is anxious to rid of the railroads is the country generally which is convinced of the failure of government operation of the great burden it imposes not only upon the users of the roads but upon the people generally in the payment of taxes to meet tho recurring deficits.
 Even if the president yet entertained hope that government operation might yet be made to succeed, it is likely that the democrats in would consent to go into national campaign handicapped they by the results of the experiment.
 Labor generally favors government ownership on principle. Railway laborers favor it because their experience of the last years has been that they can get more out of the government than they from the private owners of the roads That belief has been amply justified by their dealings with compaisant government at the expense of the tax payers
 But we would like to know more about the identity and connection of the representatives of the farmers who accompanied the labor representatives on this errand. Farmers generally have not been satisfied with their experiences under government operation and they hesitated express their dissatis faction farmers meetings. Their interests very the those of the of the public. The farmer suffers not only from high freight charges but he also suffers as a taxpayer when it comes to making up the governments deficit
 We suspect that these representatives of the farm CTS who called at the White House from North Dakota, really representatives of the Non-partisan league, which though largely made up of mised farm ers is not representative of the farmers of the country.
 It is not desired by anybody, of course, that the roads should be thrown back upon their owners now at anytime, in the shape in which they now are. They will need great deal of support before they can be made to pay their way and the government furnish that support either under the Cummins bill pending, under similar legislation
 But nobody outside the railway employees and others welded to the government ownership idea wants the disastrous experiment continued longer than may S necessary But when the roads shall be returned the government must not allow them the latitude and freedom they enjoyed Government regulation be rigid than it has been.

Why Copper Prospects Lanauish

II It has been remarked that there has been little topper development in this state within the last That is there has been comparatively ltte}work in tie opening of copper prospects. Previous to year ago there was much Of this kind of work going on. While perhaps, many of the prospects would have d&ver burgeoned into mines, some of them seemed promising when work was suspended
 + The natural explanation of the cessation of the
 work of development is that the cost of doing it has become prohbitlve that it cost nearly twice much o sink shaft drive tunnel formerly. But dat is the real explanation, told. The money for this kind of work had generally come in comparatively small amounts from people with tendency toward mild gambling They bought stock ln greater less volume. Sales made, for the most part in mining camps and towns. The stock went into the hands of miners, merchants and other people who had lived in mining atmosphere and in whom faith in the industry had become ingrained.
 Stocks in of small companies could be bought almost anywhere, at cigar and soft drink stands. The stock not represented to be gilt edged. The purchaser nearly always understood that he was taking long chance It was sort of cooperative movement to ascertain whether there was anything in the prospect It was then no matter to the purchasers what the development work might cbs so that the higher cost of the work now would not have prevented the sales of stock.
 The real explanation of the cessation of copper development is that while there has been money in Arizona than for such enterprises it has diverted into another channel It is said that whin/ the last year fourteen months s10,oooOOo Ari- zona money has gone into Texas oil stocks. How much of it has come back the statisticians have not in- formed
 Most of the oil stocks have been sold in the mining c.,one fhe former of the nrosnector,s capital.

Needed Traffic Regulations

q The new city ordinance regulating traffic on the streets of Phoenix is a very good one. The city has probably gone far it could in enacting this , ordinance. The laws of the state should be suffi- cently restrictive general traffic regulation the cities to egislate only concerning the compli cated urban traffic.
 The California law, many features of which have been incorporated into the city ordinance contains one primary precaution. It prescribes certain quail fcations for the driver of ap automobile He must be licensed drive; that is, driver have a permit. This permit is issued until after examination by the proper authorities, that the public may be endangered by incompeents at the wheels of automobiles.
 There is thing that the board cannot determine by examnation-whether the driver is reck less not If it should later be developed that he reckless driver his permit will be suspended at the first instance of his recklessness. On repeti ton of 1t his permit will be revoked.
 Nothing is more absurd than permit in- competent or reckless driver to endanger life and limb property of the value of thousands of dollars The legislature at its next session should take up this along with other needed traffic legislation the session the traffic officer of Phoenix endeavored to secure legislation this sub ject. He prepared bill adaptation of the Cali fornia act but it was presented so late session that sufficient interest in it could be aroused.
 There is another thing that should receive atten- ton-the establishment of tho responsibility of mobile for damages resulting from accidents. There arc things that drivers careful, iii they careful One of them is a of finan- cal responsibility for accidents for which they 10 blame. But if a driver is without financial sponsibilty and is beside, reckless he has little in centive to take even the most ordinary precauton against accident.
 A law should be passed requiring every automo bile to furnish bond before license may be issued to him by the secretary of state. in sufficient to damages in accidents in which he may be found to be fault It is unthinkable that the owner of such a valuable article of property as an automobile shall be given protection the public highways against financially irresponsible nersons driving machine which requires the most careful handling It is still unthinkable that persons who may be injured by such irresponsible automobile owners shall be left without recourse

be an exchange between poor children who would not be otherwise provided for On Christmas and kind hearted people. The unexpected to as sign one or more children to volunteer members to be cared for That was in general way the plan until late yesterday afternoon when there was an inundation of names of children who will need help. They were furnished by the teachers of the schools There must be more than 200 of them in addition to the names of about 50 which had been brought to the attention of the club.
 The latter figure was one that could have been met with the membership as it now stands and the names of those children will be assigned to the members as was originally proposed, but the rest must be taken care of also It will be shame if any child in the country is not remembered on Christmas.
 Beside the membership of the club that is, those who volunteered to fill stockings, there had been received through the mail and other ave nues up to ysterday morning S103, exclusive of a gift of $50 pledged by Mack Gardner. There was received yesterday from J. T. Whitney S20 and from Charles Morton, 5 making 3 total of SIPS. It can be seen that considerably more will be required and if it is to do any good on Christ mas it will have to be received at once.
