SCHOOL. TELEPHONES.

The recent storm which swept sud
denly across the northwest ertailed
the loss of several lives, among them
being those of children on,.their way
home from school. Some of these
sad incidents occurred in this state.
Similar incidents ma occur in any
winter and it is obviously The duty
of all public authorities to provide
every means hat can be provided
pedient which can be employed in
mos. communities and which would
undoubtedly be effective inSa very
large number of cases, is the install
lation of telephones in the rural
school houses. 49, =
A very large number of our coun-
try school houses are within the
adius Of telephone communication.
The farm houses in such 'n%eighbor-
hoods are quite generally connected
with the system. A telephone in the
school house would put the teacher
in communication with a majority
of the families in the district, and
in case of unusually dangerous wealth
ter such as the occurrence of a id
den storm, communication could be
had with the parents, they could he
notified either that the children were
leaving for home or would be kept
at the school house, or the parents
could be asked for Instructions as to
what they desired. The parents
would then be informed just where
their children were and if they were
on the way home could watch for
them and be prepared to render ass
sistance promptly in case Of any de-
lay. Undoubtedly that method would
provide safety in many cases where
there is. now danger.
1t may be objected that the pres
ence of a telephone in a small coun-
try school house would. be an an
noyance by reason of it's constant
ringing. That could readilyIbe avoid
ed by providing means for discon-
tinuing it except at certain known
hours. The teacher then could call
the parents at any time and the
parents could call the teacher at GER
tain designated times.
Our state legislature has enacted
laws on many subjects of much less
Importance. They have provided
for a good many things which school
officers must do. We offer the sug-
gestion that they provide, now that
wherever such a step is possible ev-
cry rural school house in the state
shall be equipped with q telephone;

10 IT and that, although at one tune
it was correct to say that the unions
found no place for the uRskilled man,
that is no longer true today. Not only
nave the more highly developed trade
unions thrown open their doors to the
helpers but also-and this is what SO
many people forget-many occupa-
lions formerly classed as unskilled
have become skilled through organi-
zation. Hodc@rriers were certainly
passed as common labor, but now they
are organized and in a way skilled.
Surely the motorman Of a trolley cal
is not to be classed as a skilled labor
er il we recognize a certain distinc-
ton between skilled and unskilled
more or less based upon the time re-
quired to acquire dexterity. A tool
maker is many years learning his
trade while it is a stupid man who
cannot learn to run an electric CAL
within a week, although, of course,
1.-The refinements of the Job take more
than Il week to master. But the mo-
tormen Eow regard themselves as
skilled.
II should not only endeavof to have
all of my employees organized, but |
should want to ave them organized
in such d, way hat I might as an en-
ployer, consult with theirIrepresenta-
tiveS on constructive policies and not
confine the consultation to differences
This constructive side has undouhted-
ly been neglected. 1t has been neg
lected BECAUSE the suspicion. between
the employer and employees has com
monty been S o intense as to confine
their activities to watching each 9th
err. Once they get together along the
lines that I have outlined and check
their suspicious, then there is o
for that vast AMOUNT Of constructive
work which will so greatly Improve
industry in it's every phase. Fighting
produces battle leaders and it may be
well that the conditions surrounding
union organization have produced a
number OF leaders who have beer
to be militant rather thar

NECESSITY OF SELF DEFENSE
 WAS INVOKED

TOMBSTONE, Ariz., May 21 (by Associated Press) in the his tory of American jurisprudence, the case of Harry E. WottOn, on trial here on a charge of kidnapping in connec- tiOn with the Bisbee depOrtations Of July 12, 1917, has presented a number of baffling legal problems.
 Chief of these has been the applica- tion of the Flaw of necessity" This principle has been invoked by the de- fense in an effort to justify the de portation of 1,186 striking copper min CTS and their sympathizers from Bis bee, Arizona, to Columbus and Her. manas, New Mexico as being neces- sary to protect the lives and property of the people of the Warren mining district.
 The doctrine of necessity itself is we'll established in the law It is only it's application in the Wotton case there has been troublesome. In one Of hls rulings rendered during the course of the trial, Judge Samuel L. Pattee, of Tucson, quoted the follow ing definition of the principle:
 '"The distinction between necessity and self-defense consists principally in the fact that while self-defense ex- cuses the repulse of a wrong, necessity justifies the invasion of a right. It is therefore essential to seIf-defense that it should be defense against a pres ent unlawful attack, while necessity may be maintained through destroying conditions that are lawful.
 'No case exactly like the present case has been found in which it (the rule of necessity was invoked"
 The importance of the legal ques- tions involved, the difficulty attend ing their application, and the whole sale character of the deportations themselves, are almost certain to ren- der the case of the state of Arizona versus H. B. Wootton landmark in the case law of the United States.
