'FLs.s5,sf. f z. MAKES REPARATfON

It is really remarkable the way some newspapers howl over the action of the railroad employees in striking against working conditions, wage and other things, but when it comes to getting back at the railroads for low CT freights for their respective inter ests they are there again. Of course, like other communities, Arizona has a grievance against the railroad because of the heavy burden imposed on the mining interests thru high freight rates, and when the railroads are made to stand and deliver We feel that they are getting only what is coming to them. About three years ago the railroads charged some of the cop per companies excessive rates on cop per bullion, alleging that the compan- ies could have waited until the rail- roads were ready to assign to them suitable cars when in fact they were furnished with cars that had limited carrying capacity, altho the compan- ies were charged with the maximum. It was this overcharge that the com panies appealed from to the Interstate Commerce Commission for relief and the I. c. C. ordered the railroads to refund the excess. The newspapers that have been knocking the workers are jubilating over, the knock the I. c. c. has administered to the rail roads, and at the same time are say ing some of the really nasty things about the inadequacy of the railroad management. It is the same old theory, the shifting of the burden to the other fellow. It is all right to make the laborer work for poor wage if the big interests can, get low freight rates, while the whole people know that to make prosperity hum la bor and the big interests must have a taste of the good things.
 The railroads have a poor system in the matter of, freights. For instance a ton of ore was shipped to the Selby works near San Francisco at a cost of $52, while the car rate is about $16. This is erninently unfair, and such rates need adjustment. A miner may be in position to ship ten ton lots of ore, running $100 per ton and would have to pay practically every cent of it for freight and smelter treatment. " .T.

NAC|C|AN'S DREAM
 ONLY A NIGHTMARE

Don't you know that it is really fun ny the way some people take to any,
 thing new, especially some instrument that will find gok in the rock, lost treasures and such like. Even the alchemists dream of transmutation of metals is eagerly backed by the credu- lous ones when some incompetent fel
 low puts his proposition on the mar ket. A short time ago the Arizona Bureau of Mines reported one of these gold finders, and while allowing that IL was an intricate affair and that the cost of operating it was great, and the possibility that it would not come into general use, it nevertheless was rep- resented to do the work. Now comes the Director of the United States Geo. logical Survey with the statement that there is no instrument that you can use to discover gold supposed to have been buried in an iron pot or steel Sa1ety box. Iron ore beds extending over large areas have been prospected for with success by means of the so- called "dip needle, but this instrument would not indicate the presence of a pot or vessel in 8 particular spot
 Neither is there any instrument tnat would indicate the presence of gold ana silver CT their ores. Iron attracts the "needle", but gold and silver, how. ever attractive to man, are not mao. netic. ,

GOODBYE TO THE
 HULA HULA GIRL

Phoenix, Sept. 21.-The State Fair commission has bid goodbye to the Hula Hula girl; it's au revoir to the Hoochi Koochi show, and the can has been tied to the naughty can-can, likewise to the con man and the thousand and one games of chance.
 There will be nothing of this shady type of entertainment at the coming state fair which opens October 30 at Phoenix, according to George A. Mauk chairman of the commission, who says:
 "The fair management this year in its desire to present an absolutely clean entertainment has determined to eliminate every objectionable show and concession. Instead of the usual cheap attractions, lotteries and doll games, which usually flourish along the midway it is planned to put on a high-class industrial show similar to the tent exposition which proved so popular at Phoenix last year. Manufacturers and dealers in all classes of merchandise are asked to lend their cooperation in this move n,ent by securing exhibitors space"
 Charles K. Pishon who has been named superintendent of concessions announced today that the first block of space had been sold to the Stand ard. Oil company, which plans to stage a most remarkable industrial exhibit. Space is on sale at the office of, the commission, Columbia theatre building Phoenix. .. &
 "This is the class of exhibits which we are hopeful of securing this year" said Pishon, Every concessionnaire will be required to sign a contract guaranteeing to keep his space in ab- sofutely sanitary condition. The con tract contains a clause also that if a space is used at ny time for any purpose other than that for which the contract calls it will be subject to for felt without notice by the fair com mission" r, > r.rtqe .Aa.H,
 In dustrial exhibits will occupy the space beneath the grandstand and along one side of the approach there by avoiding the traffic congestion in cident to booths fanling both sides of the walk as heretofore.

MILLIONS IN DIVIDENDS

The Standard Oil company and its subsidiaries have paid in dividends the past nine months $s6,50S, ,797, high record for this big octopus. On the heels of these enormous dividends comes raise of three-quarters of a cent in the price of kerosene oil. John D. and his associates and even the bibie-teaching son are not averse to taking profits whenever the opportun- ity presents itself. Costs never en- ter into the minds of the Standard people when profits are in view.

Child Training at Homie
OF RELIGIOUS
 TRAINING-THE SUNDAY SCHOOL
By Mary Collins Terry.

No little child should be without relIe- ious training. for it is as essential to the balance and beautiful growth of his character as the proper food is to his body. This training can be given in the home and in the Sunday school. Both are excellent means, and should supple ment each other. for it Is when these two institutions work together that the child receives the highest benefit.
 Because of the ease with which the child learns. and the capacity to retain even unto old age what was learned in childhood, religious training should be- gin early. Do not say, 'Oh, when my boy is old enough to decide for himself I will let him choose his church. You do not leave his manners until then, so why his morals? High ideals and a good moral code are most easily formed in his plastic years.
 The child is naturally an imitator and hero worshipper The stirring stories of Bible heroes and the application of the truths of the great old Bible stories go far toward helping him formulate tho rules -which are to govern his own &C., tions now and in later life.
 The parents in the home are the ones whose high privilege it Is to begin their children's religious training. It Is 8 pity ! that so many, through thoughtlessness or neglect or a false sense of unfitness neglect this Sweet duty. The Sunday l school next should take up and help to broaden and develop the child's religious experience
 There are several ways in which the Sunday school does its work little bet
 ter than the same work can be done al

Not much has been heard of late abo 1t hs anti-iynching law in congress but Sertainly the recent affair in Texas adds smphasis to the need of some restraining legislation that will have the desired et- feet in behalf of law and order.
 From all indications there was little or no efTcrt made to prevent that triple burning at the stake. It was in every way as horrible as if 1t had been staged by savages. There is no justification for the crime which the men were alleged to have committed, and if guilty they cer- tniniy deserved the full penalty of the law but something more than snap jus- tlee is demanded, or should be.
 Lynching ie resorted tc in the south to speed up justice and act as a deter rent 10 crime. From the frequency with which it Is resorted to 1t Isn't clearly in- dicated that 1t aecomplishes it's purpose. Whenever It Is resorted to 1t Is a repu- diation of the laws of the commonwealth in which 1t takes place by certain peo- pie of that state, while to those of others it becomes a blot which will require mach time and different tactics to re- move.
 There is duty resting upon the con- munity in which that atroclous act was committed and there is no less a one resting upon the commonwealth. From what has transpired in the past there is little reason to believe that 1t will be re. Eponded to. There is that disrespect for human life and the rights which men ara rrcmised under the Constitution of thii country which has been fagrantly dis played in Texas and other states or many occasions.
 The situation is getting to the point, fl n has not been passed long ago. where mob rule as practIced In certain state.

which attempted to dispose of the Turk ish Empdre, gave Greece all of Thrace ercept little section across the eastern stem, including constantinople and its mediate enYironsy Greece was thus to own the whole European coast of the Sea of Marmora and a coast line of 50 miles on the Black Sea
 Under the proposed change the Euro pean frontier of Turkey would run not across the narrow peninsula near Con stantlople, but some 75 miles farther west, just eastward of the deep central bulge of Thrace. Turkey would thus re- gain a European territory of some 5000 square miles. more than half the Europe an coast of the Sea of Marmora, and the entire Eurdpean Black Sea coast south of the Bulgarian border. But the alter ation of the treaty would not restore the portant, perhaps. as any in the world straits to Turkey.

 Thrace has expanded and contracted down the ages as a desert pool does in rainy and dry seasons. To the ancient Greeks It was huge area-'the home of the North Wlnd'-comprising all of the eastern half of the Turkey of rre-Bslkan War days and practically the whole of Bulgaria as we'll To the Romans Of the west 1t was only the portion south of the Balkans; and to the Byzantines 1t was nee as extensive as Greece and later small, intimate region stretching west ward from the capital
 ''The Turks may well take heart at re- gaining control of eastern Thrace. for the replacing of this region under their control cannot fall to recall the happen ings of nearly 500 years ago. The first Turks to live on the European side of the straits were brought over by one of the decadent rulers of the Eastern Empire before 1850 as mercenary soldiers to hgh' against his Bulgarian and Serbian en mics in Thrace. These AsIatics, through their military operations. became thos oughiy familiar with Thrace and even Macedonia. In. order that he might have his hired soldiers easily at hand.

 Eastern Thrace-the. same region which it is now proposed to return to TUT- key--was the inch which in the next few hundred years, the Turks built into the 'elp of their great European empire, at one time extending over the whole Balkan Peninsula and almost to the gates of Vienna. Queerly enough. how ever, the Turkish Empire in Europe grew to embrace all Thrace and Bulgaria ebfore 1t absorbed Constantinople. For more than a century the Byzantine Em- pire was little more than the city of Con- stantinople, but 1t hung on with its i'm perial luxury chiefly because of it's prestige, while the Turkish mushroom grew about it. During this period Adria= nople in Thrace was the Turkish capital.

THE RAIL CONFERENCE.

The conference with the railroad exe- cutives which is indicated by the pres ident's invitation to dinner on the 20th Is q matte that will be awaited with keen interest throughout the country in asmUch as any move looking toward a reduction of railroad rates Is bound to concern many.
 For long time efforts have been made to get a reduction in rates. Inasmuch as railroad rates figure extensively in connection with business activities it has been long maintained that great benefits would be obtained through the cutting of rates on the ground that stimulated rail- road business would net the railroads a greater revenue.
 The railroads have been face to face with big problems. They have been re-, porting definits .nzread of profits and when 1t has ttcn impossible for them to break even under existing rates to say nothing of making the profit to which they are entitled under the law, there has been an unwillingness to take chances bu cutting rates on chance proposition.
 Cutting of rates likewise is a matter that IS supposed to be done by the sane tion of the interstate commerce comrnis- sion. Thus far the commission has at- thorized no such general action. although there have been reductions of various kinds that have amounted to consfdera- ble.
 Nevertheless railroad conditions have undergone improvement judged by the last monthly statement of their business compared with year ago. Thus the si uation can be looked at in 8 different light than 1t might have been some months ago. Whether this will develop rests for the conference to disclose.
 If there has developed a deadlock as hinted in connection with the operation of the transportation act and 1t is possl- ble to overcome the situation by the es- tablishment of policy that will not con fict with the law it can be appreciated that the country will welcome whatever nay be accomplished. The conference concerns matter of great importance and the outcome will be eagerly awaited for that reason.

TIE PROBABLE ANswER.

From Manila comes word to the effect that General Wood is anxious to com plete the programme outlined when he assumed office.
 That isn't part of his reply to the gov- ernment relative to leaving the Philip pires to assume the provostship of Penn sylvania university. He hasn't as yet re- plIed to the governments decision to let him decide whether he should continue as governor general of the Philippines or go to the university job. It can be expected in few days but in view of this attitude the indications are clearly established that he considers 1t a public duty to see the job through and not abandon q half completed undertaking.
 While the government left it to him it plainly stated that it would prefer to have him stick. He was picked because through his experience in the islands and his administrative ability to tackle the bad situation which existed in the isl- ands. He did not set out to do half a job. Nothing of that kind would be ex- pected to bear the Wood stamp. Good progress has been made by him but in view of what had to be done and what still remains to be done the need Is even greater today for the general to continue at the post than when he start ed.
 Establishing a programme is one thing but putting 1t through is decidedly diff ferent and much more important. It Is not surprising therefore when 1t becomes known that he is anxious to complete the programme. Until his actual decis- ion Is received that would seem to anticl- pate 1t.
