The City Registration

The registration for the city primary and general election is going and has been in progress for week. But few people know it or have given it attention that in this of 10000 {we trust the census will confirm these figures,) only 105 voters registered.
 This is going to be very important campaign respects the most important that has ever taken place in Phoenix It has not yet broken out the surface but there a furious sub-terranean disturbance feel that before the primary campaign has advanced very far, and certainly with the last ten days before the primary election dur ing which registration will closed, excellent citizens will wish they had voice in the melee.
 There will be of the taxpayers money pended by next administration than before in several administrations. There will be 5ooooo in item. On account of the growth of the city there will money spent for Improvements such paving Employment will be given hundreds of The prospect is which alluring politicians politicians the last persons see in control of the city this time of all times We need business men who will forget while in the discharge of their duties whether they republicans democrats and who in making selections of employees whether heads of departments as 1aborers, will make distinction between democrats and republicans.
 If there should be light registration, of the politicians will They will that whom they depend will be given the last qualification to vote That is why municipalities in this country usually controlled by minorities and why the doctrine of the rule of the majority aside.
 When speak of government by politicians do not necessarily that the government will be partisan-tIlat is-to say, either democratic e. publican. That would not likely be the in Phoenix in city having the commission We mean that the rulers would be politicians of both parties, for know that republican politicians democratic politicians can work together most amic- ably and in great harmony in a partition of the spells.
 We know that a great majority of the people of Phoenix do not want that kind of government; they want business government depends upon them to whether they shall have it. They say unless they register. The registration the primary will close the night February 23

of information about the bureau of mines.
 Cochrane overlooks no bets. If q Staid and conservative scientist lets drop remark to the effect that air planes might be used in gold mining, Cochrane takes heed. He goes out and collars a newspaper man and leads him to the scientist. The two have a natural antipathy for each other, but Cochrane adroitly holds them together until the bright idea has been transferred from the scien- tific cranium to the reportorial one.
 In like manner. if d famous engineer remarks that he is now doing the laundry for his family by machinery, Cochrane sees a profound significance in the fact, calls representatives of the press into consultation. X good fea ture story is the result.
 Newspaper men of Washington know that if Cochrane intimates he has a good story, the facts are as in- timated.
 Cochrane is here biographed against his will, because he belongs to q neg lected class. When the histories of famous achievements in politics and government are written, the man who made the flames is seldom mentioned. He is usually the publicity man.

Democrats In Caucus

The statement made yesterday morning that the democrats of the house in had rejected presidents views universal military training not quite accurate So far know the democrats had been informed presidents views this subject. He had made mendation to them for against the principle. He had made recommendation hem as a president statesman only as a demo- crat and politician. He had counselled only ex- pediency and evasion by withholding action subject of universal military training it could be passed upon by the democrats assembled the national convention.
 In rejecting partisan advice. though we be- Eeve the attitude majority of the caucus to the subject of universal military training is wrong the majority right in deciding that what they believed be right should be without waiting for expression by convention of the democratic other political party
 The delegates assemble at San Fran cisco will have special from the deme- cratic with respect universal training It will probably anywhere become al issue in the selection of delegates to that convention. ter if it should be taken there will be settled far the convention settle it, by the of few leaders speaking only for themselves.
 And then the democrats congress fol- lowing the precedent not be bound by convention declaration The party did feel itself bound. at rate, the president did by the term plank of the Baltimore convention by another plank pledging the party policy of free canal tolls for American trade The latter plank the presidents suggestion shipped almost Immediately the sress within his administration assembled AS 10 the first plank which had for many become almost a democratic principle, MT. Wilson mated himself for a second it is not now Iuite certain that he will seek a third
 So democratic congressman would not feel sound to do anything he may want to do by a convention declaration Thus the democrats rightly believed there time like the present for acting their wishes and judgment.

The Matter of Exchange

humorous department of contemporary it is suggested that before waste many neighbors in Europe because of the exchange rate, should take that while the value of the pound sterling fallen thirty per cent dollar is worth only about half much as it That is true, but the fallen values of the pound, the franc and the mark happen be depreciated dollar.
 The state of exchange. by way. bringing the world back primitive trading, before there any money; when traded stone hatchet for a bearskin or the tegument of other animal that lived and died in those times. that kind of trading. inconvenient it s become indifferent to fluctuating exchange rates.
 Here is an illustration: big American company desired to sell s1oO0o0 worth of motor trucks Germany. But the German mark was worth so little in international exchange q truck would be expensive n Germany in marks that nobody would pay the price American machine. To surmount the exchange situation the American company looked about for q deal by-swhich it could afterward sell in America s1o0,0oo.
 First the company discovered a New Zealand trader on his way to Germany buy for his home market s1oo,oo0 worth of dyes. The trader took to Germany with him the s10o.0o0 worth trucks and exchanged them for the dyes. But the American motor company did the dyes and anyway. that traders job was to take the dyes back New Zealand But for that he would not have been in deal at ali
 New Zealand in large quantity and wool IS very much in demand in America. So, the New Zelander who had paid cent for the dyes took them home and there paid for them with s1ooooo worth of wool which he shipped the American motor truck company which sold it in this country for s100,o00. This q roundabout way O doing business but it the only way it could be done and the only way in which exchange situa- tion could be circumvented.
 This transaction, of course. was only imaginary but similar ones are being carried all the world and when this enforced practice becomes gem eral, the exchange situation will adjust itself The free flow of commodities establish a level and international money-and money stands only for the value of commoditieswill it's level It has been the interruption of this flow that has produced this abnormal condition exchange

 There be prosperity for labor except through full production.
