CHICAGO, H., Sept. 2.-The in lection of artistic and literary bacilIi which has been disturbing the sound commercial constitution of Chicago for some years past has broken out in a new spot. The spot is some where in the region north of the Chi cago river and between the Lake and State street. It is a little shop which used to be called the Old Tower Book Shop. Apparently the book-selling didn't pay, and the shop now sells a variety of arty and artistic wares too numerous to enumerate. It is also the headquarters of an organization for the purpose of finding jobs for women writers and editors, managed by Miss Ruby Black.
 But it's real distinction is neither as a shop nor as an agency for the distribution of beautiful scribes. Its real distinction is that here once a week, poets and poetesses meet and read their works to themselves and each other and any one else who cares to listen. Some say that there this place. According to this story when the word went round that any poet could get an audience for his verses at this place, the poets poured in so rapidly and numerously that there simply was not time for all o them to read all that they had tC give the world Besides that, a lot of people came who didn't really ap. preciate poetry at all. So a circlt was organized, and now there is am other meeting every week to which only the really eject are admitted At least, so they say.

The President of the University

News of the possibility of the departure of Dr. KleinSmid to accept the chancellorship of the University of Denver is disturbing those who have watched the marvellous growth of the University of Arizona during the past eight years since Dr. KleinSmid called

 Not only has the scope and usefulness of the university been extended during the administration of pr. KleinSmid but it has acquired standing in the educational world which has been material and incalculable advantage Arizona and to every industry in the state.
 We trust that the president of the university may not be attracted from the institution which he has much build up and in which there is such future field for of his energy and requirements.

BEAUTY AND THE BEEF

This reading circle seems to con sist chiefly of poets or whom the world at large has not yet heard. al though there are one or two of them who publish regularly. It includes some poets and poetesses who have never even tried to publish their works-who seem to have scorned the public so far. Among these is a woman who calls her poems collect ively "Dishpan Lyrics" She Is a woman who has spent most of her life cooking and washing dishes, so they say, and she has put into puls- ing meter the thoughts and emotions. the rebellions and hopes of the house. wife tied to humble tasks, escaping only in her imagination. Her friends say that her verses would appeal to a large public, but she has never sought to reach it.
 An Aesthetic Oasis
 Whether this little shop is really a nest for unpublished genius or not. it is certainly one more center of in- tellectual aspiration in the greatest business place of the west. It is one more court of beauty in the city oi beef. one more phase of the strange process by which the city that typi- fies American commercialism and money lusS at it's most intense, is also becoming a city of poets, paint CTS and dreamers. a city in which the aesthetic impulse is seen in it's mos; rarefied and eXtraVagant forms.
 Perhaps the phenomenon is not really mysterious, either. Perhaps il is partly a matter of action and re- action. Chicago is the place where the great industrial push, which has used most of America's energy foI

Is Not This Clear?

We do not wish weary our readers with discussion of the question which has been raised relative to the employment in the public vice of persons who under the constitution and the statutes are qualified "office" by the lack of of the qualifications of voter. that a residence within the state for year.
 The whole question hangs the distinction as have pointed out. between office" and employ ment" If there distinction then all persons without this voting qualification ineligible to occupy a position, the remuneration for which is raised by taxation. In that every president of the university have had ineligible. A majority of the members of its faculty well that of our normal schools have been ineligible. So have been large number of the teachers and prin- cipas of public schools.
 There is certainly nothing in either the constitu ton statutes exempting this employment from qualification of citizenship required of those who hold offices.
 We have treated this matter rather lightly for the reason it seemed ridiculous But inclined now to believe that neighbor the of "Our Alley regards it seriously that for its edification must treat it so. Darned if we don't believe our neighbor actually thinks it's right.
 It will be remembered that at the outset of our state government provision made for the bring ing of experts from without the state when the ton of apprasing the tangible and intangible values of the public utilities companies arose. Likewise the tax commission had the benefit outside advice notably that of the representatives of the Somers system. The commission believe paid for such services out of continuing fund of $120o0 raised course by taxation. We think that recall that at that time the question of employing non- citizens was raised but also recall that it was approved by Democrats generally and by Governor Hunt particularly
 Our neighbor at the end of Our Alley seizes upon a statement have made to the effect that paths are administered occupying cler- cal posiions had stated that Secretary Hall had caused the clerks in his department be put under oath as a preeaution, to comply with a law which rovides for the administration of the officers identities clerks and subordinates. Our neighbor mains us by an implication that have lied or r,isrepresented the secretary to the statement that his administration of the oath in the way of precaution.

Wages the Employer, the Employe and the Public
 We see by the dispatches of yesterday morning that the Standard Oil Company California about to cut the of its employees per cent "ad- just them to lower living costs. That is new reason or new way of putting an old reason. Wages were generally raised in order to enable wage CTS barely to live. So suppose they to be reduced in order that they may continue barely to live
 There are usually or should be other reasons for the reduction of wages the principal being in order that production costs might be reduced and that the price to the public of the commodity pro- duced might be lowered That is something in which the employer and the public financial concern. But the relation between wages and the living is matter in which only the employe has rghtful interest The interest of the employer lies only in the increase of his profits by the reduction wages
 If there is no other adjustment to be made; that is no reduction in the price of the commodities of the Standard Oil company, the readjustment will be incomplete, lopsded and disturbing.
 The old theory that wages should be what the employer could pay and still his business at profit Sometimes that worked to his disad- vantage and sometimes to that of the employe Then to the theory that the empoye in all eases was entitled to wage that would enable him tain proper standard of living Ii the business as it happened to be conducted did not yield profit that enabled the employer to pay such a wage, he was expected so to increase the price of his modities that he could pay it. Thus the public was asked to assist in maintaining the standard And that was all right. Now if wages may be lowered, still not below decent standard, the public should be made a beneficiary since it has often been made contributor The employer should not absorb the whole reduction

General Wood and the Philippine.

As The Republican predicted two weeks ago when it was apparent that the house would not pass the bill exemptng General Wood from the operation of the law prohibiting officers the active list from occupying positions in the civil government General Wood is about to retire from the army, moved by public duty to accept the governor generaship of the Philippines
 There is other competent to deal with the tangled affairs of the islands Twice be- fore, in Cuba and in the Philippines, General Wood displayed his great qualities an administrator He left his post in the islands, with the good will of the natives. He had restored order and inducted prosperity He goes back to that good will There has been quieted in great measure that clamor for independence induced in part by the misgovernment to which the islands have been subjected for the last eight years.
 The determination of General Wood involves some sacrifice in his failure to round his army But he had made another sacrifice, in the postpone of his acceptance of the direction the Uni versity of Pennsylvania to which had so ardently looked forward.

for instance. perform executive duties stand the light of deputies and assistant officers. They must of course, be put under oath.
 But it was purpose to deceive our neghbor lead it to believe that the oath test as to whether public position an office or a mere employment At the best the oath could be only a pointer and it such that intro duced it.
 Now we may inquire into what distinction be- tween employment and office the legislature had in mind when 1t enacted Paragraph 154 of the Re- vised Statutes:
 Every officer must be of the age of
 twenty-one years and citizen of the UNITED
 STATES and THIS STATE"
 Now many of the clerks not twenty -one years of age Many of them would resent the suspicion of that degree maturity If it is not necessary that clerk should be twenty-one. may assume, under this paragraph that citizenship state is not requirement..
 Here is the next paragraph, 1855:
 "No person shall be eligible to any office
 employment or service in any public insti-
 tuition in state of Arizona in any of
 the several counties hereof of any kind or
 character, whether by election, appointment
 or contract, unless before said election, ap-
 pointment or contract, he shall be have
 become a citizen of the UNITED STATES"
 This catches them all officers. university presi- dents school teachers. janitors. window cleaners, stenographers gardeners. persons "of any kind or 
 specified qualification; only citizenship of the United States Paragraph 154 is only abbrevia- on of the constitutional provision limiting officers alone or persons authorized to act officers the requirement of state citizenship.
 This clear that the matter is lifted out of the realm of dispute.
 There is a rule of law however which need not here be invoked that constitutional limitations with regard to offices apply only to offices created by the constitution and extend to offices created by the legislature. That rule disclosed in the of Clark against Boyce, when the deputy land com missioner sued the auditor for the full of salary which had been increased during his incum- bency in disregard a constitutional provision pro- hibiting increases during the term of office It held that inasmuch the position occupied by Clark not constitutional office (nor that of the commissioner himself) the provision did not apply that the act increasing the salary of the deputy commissioner not in violation of the provision
 We hope that have clarified this matter from end of Our Alley" to the other, so that there will be further expenditure upon print paper at the prevailing prices.

 Being thrifty souls, the Pilgrims then strung the empty cans together and pulled the Indians into thinking each string was an imported neck lace.
 The Indians, being great hunters. went out and in return shot large flocks of liver and onions. Huniar- ian goulash. kidney saute, and Blue Plate Specials. thus enabling them to eke out a tough winter. | aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa "a ttoin etois

THE PILeRIMs' LANDING


 Three hundred years ago the pii- grims landed in America It doesn't seem that long ago to the average American, but it probably seems much longer just now to the pill grims.
 The pilgrim fathers landed Dec 21. 1921, on the well known stern and rockbound coast. The landing is made much of in history. and the pill grims are given much credit. But there was really nothing else to do but u land, inasmuch as that was the end of the trip.
 And besides 1t had been a long and rough passage. The passengers had been strong for landing for some weeks back. and credit for real hero ism could have been given only if they had refused to land.
 The pilgrim fathers landed on Ply mouth Rock So did the pilgrim mothers and. presumably, the pilgrim wives and kiddies. Geo. Ade has said that the rock should have lan- ded on the pilgrims, but, as a matter of fact. a crack like that should en- title both to land on Ade
 The pilgrims were, in a manner of \ speaking on the rocks from the with them and no delicatesser stores or rotisseries had been started in America at that time. To make matters worse. 1t was winter and the thermos bottles which they had filled with hot coffee upon leaving Holland had frozen and cracked.

MsNBerton BraIeyS (EeS Daily Poem httIoJobs

The little job. the petty job That you and I must do. The dull and humdrum drudEery Which daily we go through; There isn't any fun to it,
 Nor any thrill or throb, And yet the whole world is made to
 move
 By just that kind of job. The splendid plan. the noble plan That sets all hearts afire. Is carried out by plodding men Who drudge and wno perspire: Not theirs to know the glorious
 dream.
 Yet by the toll they give The vision of the pioneers
 Shall live and live and live. The little job. the petty job.
 The job that's drab and slow. Fashions the lordly palaces And makes the empires grow; The dreamer dreams, but still the work
 Is done by plodding mobs That build the dull old world anew By dull and dreary jobs.
