Senator watson's State of Mind

Senator Watson of Georgia talks like a man who of the road. He has always been little wild since he came into some national prominence a Popu- list congressman from Georgia. We are not quite sure but think he is the gentleman who startled the country thirty years ago by the interrogatory "AIr. Speaker where at?" We may be mis- taken, but anyhow that would have been the worst Mir. Watson's solecsns.'
 Of the political activities of MT. Watson, his candidacy for the presidency. his candidacy for the vice presidency of the many Bryan tickets, his handbook politics and economies his attacks upon Catholicism and his virulent activity in the Frank case, it is unnecessary to speak.
 MT Watson has been interesting if not an accurate historian with reference to France he has exhumed much matter from various sources which eluded the search earlier historians or which had been rejected by them.
 MT. Watson the other day took occasion without Fayette. Even if he were of his facts it was hardly worth his while to destroy idol which has been held in American reverence for nearly century and half His outbreak against the friend of Washington whose coming. regardless of his skill as a soldier inspiration to the struggling revoutionists was an evidence of insane petulance had paid the French people of today.

The Dangerous Trailer

accident the Tempe road on Saturday in which woman killed calls attention more forci- ply to danger in the of traiIers which many had remarked. We had already had illustration in the damaged guard rails and posts along the Tempe highway Hardly of them have escaped now that has been brought to attention by this tragedy, that more automobiles have not been brought into contact with trailers.
 Trailers are attached to trucks and. sometimes automobiles by means of a tongue which swings of the swing is long because of the length of the coupling radius. The sweep of the trailer carries path of the and the sweep increased with speed
 In this case the truck had cut in ahead of the stage. a slow rate of speed perhaps the swing of the trailer would not have contact with the stage.
 But the speed of the truck was unlawful. The It is estimated that the stage the time it struck was travelling 2S miles hour. The truck which had passed it going much faster In passing. vehicles take for short distance much higher speed than the driver intends to maintain after he has passed that it may be estimated that the truck at that moment had attained speed of from 35 to 40 miles hour. That is truck speed for which there be excuse. It is bad for the roadway, not good for the truck and ing to other persons and vehicles in the highway.
 The likelihood of such accident occurred was increased by the sharp cuttng-in of the truck driver. The he had to make straighten out was so short as to increase the trailers
 Two reforms suggested by the accident. One is different attachment of trailers by means of chains well the ordinary coupling, chain near each end of the axle to modify the wide sweep. The other is strict regulation speed of trucks automobiles with trailers, case to exceed 15 he higher of speed for this sort of traffic.

M@Berton BraleyS E5 Daily Poem N|PO0P FISH

Whenever I'm terribly bored
 Whenever life seems on the whole, 4 thing to be greatly deplored,
 A weariness unto the soul, I find I can brighten my lot
 And tie to my troubles the can By thanking my stars I am not
 Like the Paleolithic Man!
 His life was exceedingly bleak,
 He had very little to do 4 fight with bear once a week.
 A brush with a tiger or two But otherwise. gosh. 1t was dulll
 With nothing to figure or plan And never a thought in the skull
 Of the Paleolithic Man. No books and no music or playS
 No baseball or tennis pr art, Just one long succession of days
 With no way to tell them apart; He fought and he gorged and he slept,
 Beat his wife-like the rest of his
 clan
 But the years must have sluggishiy
 crept
 For the Paleolithic Man. So when I'm considering him I say to myself, Hip hooray! 1 Existence has color and vim. I'm glad I am living todayi | The world is a place of delight | With marvels and wonders to scan, | I certainly pity the plight 1 Of the PaleoIithic Man.

 With a few small gunboats and modest forts we might live normal, decent lives but these super post Jutland -invincible ships corrupt us. They mock when we pray for peace; they make international righteous ness seem unnecessary and therefore a luxury. The great grey men-of- war lying in the Hudson river and in San Francisco bay give moral sup port to the bully with the brass knucks and to the cynic who neither loves nor trusts anyone, and to all the race bigotry and arrogance that curse our land. Phoenix would be a better city if tnose ships were not there.

BOHEMIA'S MOVING DAY

Village really contained an art col ony of genuine distinction. Then il became famous. People spoke of it as the Latin Quarters of America, and as such it began to hold numer- ous attractions for the curious.
 Many astute persons who had set tied in the neighborhood to study art now decided that it would be much more profitable to open restaurants and so-called art shops. Others went quietly about buying leases. Some of these were uptown real estate brokers, who laid their plans with deep sagacity. They kept rents very low to attracts the artists, who un- suspectingly set to work .remodeling and decorating the dilapidated homes they had leased. Then. at the end of a year, the landlords rented the permises at greatly increased prices to uptown business men.
 Atmosphere Expensive
 Under this system, which has en- riched so many landlords during the past five years, true art could not survive. Only rich and successful artists can now afford to live in the Village, which has become one of the highest priced sections in the city. Try hunting an apartment there and you will soon find out for yourself Not a single basement or garret however mean or inartistic. Is to be had for less than s75 month. Ten years ago. when the village was al the height of it's artistic glory, the best floor in Washington Square South could be rented for $40 month, while a room overlooking the | park cost S5. Today, a room without q private bath (and also usually ! without steam heat or electricity, rents for $70 a month. and whole | floor (two rooms) will cost you S160 The picturesque little stables il !

PHOENIX SHOULD LIMIT
 HER APARTMENTS

Phoenix is paying too much for pro- lection against foreign enemies. Wouldn't it be well for the mayor to wire Washington to the effect that Phoenix is anxious to reduce her part of the nations war equipment? The business of supporting navies and armies is too costly for us.
 Last year Phoenix spent over half a million dollars for what is called national defense. That was our share of the total budget. Here are some facts that should help us to grasp just how much the conference now converting in Washington means to us:
 Phoenix spent $520, ,s000o approx imately for ships and forts and guns last year.
 During the same period she spent s376,000.00 on city schools.
 Total spent for public education last year. about s536 o00.00.
 Phoenix spent enough money on the the Superdreadnought Maryland to run one O. her largest churches a whole year
 If all churches in this city were to be destroyed tonight they could all be rebuilt for a sum but a little larg- CT than our armament bill for one year.
 Here is an incubus of no mean pro- portions. The City of Tomorrow should be free from it. Let posterity pay for schools and paved roads and all the other conveniences we pass or with bonded indebtedness, but lei it be rid of this o d Man of the Ses whose dead, joyless weight profit: so little and slows progress down s' much.

 NEW YORK, Nov. 6-Art is leav- ing Greenwich Village in sad haste this year. Studios, with huge north windows and facades trimmed with old rose and pea green paint, are more numerous than ever, but the artists are departing, not because they love the Village less, but be- cause they can no longer afford it. Before the invasion of the returning wealthy bourgeoisie, who once more choose to reside in the vicinity of Washington Square. the artist must retreat-but where?
 This is what they themselves ask you, with a rather desparate air. Where, indeed, can they find an in eXpensive, down -at-the- heels neigh borhood into which they can infuse their own careless and artistic atmo- sphere without attracting pursuing mob of rich, wouldbe Bohemians? 7? For, like Mrs Vanderbilt, the artists of Manhattan suffer from too great popularity. As soon as tEey move into a locality, get their eaSels ana smocks unpacked, let their boards grow, put antique brass knockers on their front doors and pink borders around their windows, Wall street brokers follow suit, and rents rise.
 The rick grew weary and deserted Greenwich Village more than half a century ago. Their great estate gave place to rows of mid-Victorian dwell ings, owner and occupied by respect able merchant families. When the elevated trains started coming down Sixth avenue as far as BieeckeT street, with business in their wake the merchant families moved on Clerks and small retailers took over their houses until in time the immi- grants came and crowded them out The neighberhood had set in for g period Of rapid decay, such as thai which destroyed the once lovely Third avenue, and property owners O the district had resigned themselves to great pecuniary loss, when sud denly New York artists discovered the possibilities of Washington Spare.
 They entered and took possession of the district, busting the immi grants. remodeling the old-fashine houses and stables. lending pic turesque entertainment to dingy gar rets and basements, and encouragln the establishment of cafes an boarding houses catering to artstl taste.

Prohibition and the Newspapers

Henry Watterson was interviewed the other day by a woman reporter. The interviw consisted of the propounding of a long list of questions on subject of newspapers. The answers prompt, interesting and. suppose. in the main. correct.
 We have been attracted by this: What has prohibition done the newspapers?"
 Kept the boys sober, and made liars. sneaks and lawbreakers of the rest of us'
 We would suggest that the great editor and of English slipped. using by mistake the word made" for developed" Undoubtedly prohi- bition has transformed many persons into liars, sneaks and lawbreakers. But it only completed what was we'll under way. Its material not really It came under the head partly manufactured" Any man transformed had it in him to the point saturation to become liar, a sneak and law breaker. If prohibition had not completed the trans formation. something else would have done it.
 Admitting that this has about in quence, and having MT Watterson's word for it that kept the "boys sober" 1t has done good thing in taking of the next generation of newspaper men the expense the passing It has given us a guaranty against lying, sneakishness and law the present decrepit liars snealzs and lawbreakers already well on the way, have passed. what prohibition has done to the news paper business it has every other business to whole population
