ing the next day. They have built a town on a desert plateau, and endowed it with all the comforts and con- veniences of modern life in order to and they have installed every known means of labor saving device to expe- dite the work. Nothing was too costly, Or too impossible.
 In the little town of Gillespie there is a model store or commissary, at which one may purchase anything from a row of pins to a volume of Shakespeare. There is an electric light plant. which keeps the town and works brighter than most large cities. There is a refrigeration plant. which fur nishes ice to the employees. and keeps the food Of the kitchen sweet and fresh. There is a model kitchen, with three great ranges and three good cooks who spend their time thinking up new things fors the men to eat.
 There is a warehouse where very thing that might possibly be needed on the work, be it ever so remotely. is kept indexed and ready to be sent to
 the job at a moments notice. There
 are sanitary bunkhouses for the un-
 married men, and coZy bungalows for
 those who have their faTnilies. There
 are showers. and baths, and patent
 toilets. And. of course, there are the complete carpenter. machine and blacksmith shops which necessarily go with such an undertaking.
 Last but not least there is a hos pital, complete down to the last de- tail-though there were no patients occupying snowy beds. Accidents are seldom, under the protection afforded the workers, but everything is in read mess day and night in case the unfor- seen shouvi happen. Miss Austin, the nurse who has charge of this work slim, cool and very self possessed ir her crisp, white uniform, takes an un- usual pride in keeping things up to the
 mark, with instruments sterilized, and gauge and bandages in business like array.

Obedience to Principle

Asia and Africa have looked on. with grim irony, while the countries which have flooded them in the past with missionaries have cast aside every one of their protestations in a murderous struggle for suprem- acy. AS consequence Christendom sees Africa and Asia on the eve of de- mandfng release from the tutelage of a civilization which has failed to di- gest it's own theories. and, if the pas sions of these continents should leap their barriers. humanity may any day witness a condition of things in which the well of Cawnpore is as much g bagatelle Of slaughter as the lines of Torres Vedras are insignificant in comparison with the Hindenburg line.

In front of it, and where the water falls heaviest, there is a concrete apron two feet thick and 100 feet wide, the upstream wall reaching down bed rock and the downstream wall be- ing upheld by concrete piles. About half way in the center and running the entire 800 feet there is to be a wall about feet high which will serve to break the rush of water into the river

 verted by means of big gates to the

 them bloom as the rose.
 An intesting thing to note is that
 the east abutment of this work, tO
 one which forms the hinge of the canaf
 gates was built over thirty years ago
 by the first man to attempt to put D
 dam across the Gila. It was made of
 stone and concrete and stands nearly
 100 feet high, in as perfect eond1tlon
 today as when it was erected. The
 old dam, which was of earth and Wood,

 G. A. Gillespie decided that dam

 was the same who had put the dam there 30 years before. He took the contract at his own figure, but in a few months time on account of Hoods ! and washouts was compelled to give up the work, leaving Gillespie with q. 1 badly damaged dam on his hands and no contractor to go ahead with it. Un-

Governor MiIIer's aMenaeey

Governor Miller of New York lately dumped him. elf into hot water by criticism of the New York State League of Women Voters when he declared, Any organization which seeks to exert political power is a to institutions unless it organized political party" It should be stated though that that not all the governor What he meant has been widely quoted by his critics. The consists the coercion of ficials either in the legislative or administrative positions by promises support elections by threats ,open or covert
 But such outside organizations have always isted in history. A notable has been the Anti-Sal League. which the governor for reason excepted the 'menaces9 of political party organizations
 Anyway we think the governor wrong. The constitutional right of petition carries with it the right of organization for any not unlawful purpose. And men in official positions do not need open promises of reward unveiled threats punish ment to know that those whom they favor those whom they flout will be governed elections by treatment they receive.
 It is true as the governor says in his criticism, that the coercion" employed by such organizations may intimdate legislators administrative into doing things that a majority the people not want done; or failure to do things which a majority of the people approve, and there at naught a principle of representative government the rghtful rule of the majority, But the majority has it's remedy-by organization and thus making known it's wishes to officers legislative and admin istrative.

politicians everywhere engaged in stirring up the passions of nations for their own paltry ends. They see na- tions consenting to the abrogation Of liberty. provided it is paid for in an accentuation of license. Because of all these things they raise their voices as, centuries ago. Isaiah and Ezekiel raised theirs in admonition of their people. Only in the proportion in which the individual or the nation steers a coruse in conformity with Principle, will safety be found. A tremendous responsibility lies upon the leaders of public opinion in the press and on the platform. The greater, the more powerful the nation, the more terrible will its fall be if it fails to live up to the Christianity it professes. The law preached in Palestine nine teen centuries ago was the law of uni versai brotherhood, not of national seifishness. It is the temptation to appeal to national se1ffshness which faces the leaders of pubic opinion in every country, and yet if anything is certain 1t is that those who cast aside the teachings of the Sermon on the Mount for the selfishness of the poli-
 ticaI platform will not only be over

The First Half Century

Phoenix has come far in fifty years When the settlement was founded there towns, thousands of them, in different parts of the country in snug satisfaction of populations 2ooo 5000 and there they stand today. their marks yet intact There is nothing in Phoenix today that recalls the Phoenix of fifty years ago; nothing that unless of unusual powers of observation and accuracy of memory recalls after absence of quarter of a century
 The of twenty years ago gave Phoenix a population of between 5000 and 4000 The people were hopeful though looking back must admit that the prospect though not discouraging dim and blurred The building the Roosevelt dam promised Phoenix and there followed the be- shining of its construction increased but rapid growth. Its effect at first felt in the rounding country the increased rural population, the slightly greater value lands, conditions which later to affect the city. But we lacked main line railroad whose absence is still hand- cap And may call attention to the remark able fact that while railroads the direct and frequent of booming towns. Phoenix has risen fin spite of it's lack of a main line It is perhaps the most important the best known city in the United States separated from junction points by miles of mountain desert
 Phoenix in this respect recalls the epgram which Ebert Hubbard attributed to Emerson, substance, 'Tf invent better mouse trap than any other the world will make path to his door, though he dwell wood" So Phoenix spite of dis advantageous position with to railroads, has become crossroads point in the southwest
 The real growth of Phoenix began in 1911 with the inauguration of street paving There may be confusion here between and effect; be- tween the hen and the egg whose respective priori- ties have been determined. Whether it spirit of the people which found expression in street paying would have made city if turned in another direction without paving whether 1t was the paving that made the new Phoenix, do not know. We have always inclined the belief it was the paving; whatever the spirit of the people. city cannot be made without paving be progressive.
 We had two years of rapid growth unexampled in the Southwest but suffered slight check in the fall of 1914. We had recovered from that and struck faster stride when in 1917 the war inter- vened and two-year check was applied to our activities. But when it removed, the rebound was tremendous.
 At the end of fifty years and that in the life of towns is short time, Phoenix has come fully ints it's Its future is assured if assurance within the last twenty years has been needed. further progress like all progress long period will be undulatory always forward. It will be at times tions which contribute growth but thing we may be assured, that condition in Salt River Valley long be adverse
 Yesterday had a pageant depicting the first half of a century of growth. pageant of a cen tennial of progress in the valley the city would fill us with amazement

 Two counties. Cochise and Gila, have been formed by the present legislature and the formation of another is asked for-Graham Both of the counties already formed attempted to slip through without assuming their just share of the debt, but in one instance this was stopped by Governor Ere mont's veto, and in the other case its promoters allowed it to be amended after passing the house. The fox1na- ton of new counties where the support is entirely of a mineral character should be very carefully considered, as even in our own new Territory history records the downfall and petering out of what was at one time very promis- ing and lively camps.
