In Other Hands Journalism in Arizona is not what is used to be since the self-elimination of William Ilattich, editor and owner of the Tombstone Prospector nd the Tombstone Kpitaph. Fur twenty-one years Mr. Ilattich was in charge of those papers, devoting himself to Tombstone and Cochise county, princi pally to the former, in a her"i-- effort to stay its departing glory. Mr. Ilattich could not hold all of the population there, hut he saw to it that none of its incomparable climate and its invigorating atmos phere pot away. Tin y are as intact as they were the rlay Kd Seheifflin made the discovery that re su'.ted in the most famous mining camp in Amer ica, whose lugubrious name added to popular in terest in it. Mr. Ilattich retires with enough money to en able him to p where he ploasi s and do w hat he pleases, just so that he keeps his activities within the law. but he will not he true to his own teach ings if he leaves Tombstone, and we do not believe he will Hut here's luck to Kill Ilattich wherever he may be. and as to the Prospector and the Kpitaph, Ion may they wave, in the hands of the present Ftandard-bearers. the diraga brothers. A Proposed Era of Idleness It is noticed that when the I. V. Y. become the controlling element in a strike, the lead, rs try to prolong it to the utmost, to avoid a settlement. That was the case in the great textile workers' strike and also in the long- strike at PatTS-m. We are fur nished a fine instance of the operation of the doc trine of idleness in the dock workers' strike now in progress at Dultith. According- to the dispatches of yesterday, the strike had been won. K ery demand which the dock workers had made was conceded, including a belated demand for an additional increase in wages. The strikers were willing to return to to work, but the I. V. V. leaders prevented a settlement on any basis. It is the idea of the I. V. YV. leaders that if all men would quit working there would bo a destruction of all industry, and the world would be brught to standstill; that there would follow a re adjustment of things generally, and that by it all men would be given an even start, and the rear rangement would thereafter keep them even. The millennium they seek would probably follow an era of universal idleness, hut it is not possible that it could be brought about. If it were possible, millions would not survive it. It is not at all likely that the I. V. w. leaders expect these sporadic efforts of theirs to become any part of,. such a universal, prolonged strike against conditions as they exist. They are intended to be educative, to increase in frequency until some time there will be a last and general strike. Guess-work A looming ftature of the tariff debate in the senate, as disclosed by the Congressional Record, is the lack of information regarding: the hundreds of articles in the various schedules. Comparatively lew of the senators are engaged in ttie defense of the bill, and they are called upon frequently for information regarding this or that obscure com modity. It is not widely used and people gen erally do not know of its existence, but its use is essential to some industry, and a few cents more or less in the price, of it seriously affects the price of the products of that industry. Inquiries of the members of the majority why the, tariff was lowered, raised or removed elicits no reply. Why the framers of the bill changed it, they did not know. They pretend to know noth ing of its production abroad, of the extent of its use in this country, of the effect of the proposed change upon the revenues of this country. The change w as made merely for the sake of change. The framers could have secured, at least, a part of the information sought of them, from the consular reports or from the treasury department. Hut no information was desired. A change was to be mole, and so why fuss around about the manner of mak ing it? The other day an opponent of the tariff bill at tacking the lowered duty on one article, asked Sen ator Martine of New Jersey, purely for informa tion regarding the cost of its production. Mr. Mar tine replied with some acerbity that he suppose! the question was asked upon the theory that con gress should know something of the difference in the cost of production at home and abroad. That was not a democratic theory. Thus we have a tariff bill prepared without a knowledge of any of the things that would seem to be necessary to its preparation its effect upon our revenues and its effect upon our consumers and producers. e In times past tariff bills were framed for spe The Social Line Mr. A. I.. Westgard. president of the National Highway association, and head of the Westgard tour which is now in progress, is, something of a snob, according to a bit of news from San Fran cisco. Mr. 'Westgard on his arrival at the (e.idcii (late stopped at the St. Francis, one of the three or four first-class hotels of San Francisco. After he was comfortably installed, he learned with pain that his chauffeur was a guest of the sarin' hotel, and he promptly ordered him elsewhere. He also laid the matter before the hotel authorities, saving that he would not pay the hotel bill, though he had undertaken to pay the chauffeur's expenses while on the tour. The chauffeur, being an American citi zen, resented the drawing of a social line between any two American citizens and declined at first to seek another hotel. He was thereupon fired, and. being without money, was left to work his way back to Indianapolis. Mrs. Westgard, who was a member of the party, was also very much out raged, and declared that she would never ride in a car driven by that presumptuous chauffeur. We do pot know what particular claims to social eminence are put forward by the Westgards In this country such claims, when asserted, are based upon immoderate wealth, birth with some wealth, high official position, prominence in pro fessional life, etc. Notwithstanding- our democracy and theories of equality, there are great social in equalities in this country, and we recognize the right of aristocrats to flock by themselves; to ex clude from association with them those who are less fortunate, those who are compelled to live by manual labor. Hut we think that the line is being drawn pretty tense when the would-be ariMoorat attempts to say who shall be received at a hotel where he is stopping; that a guest shall be ejected just because he lives by employment. IF CANADA WERE TO ANNEX THE UNITED STATES (Kxtracts from James Iavenport Wln-lpley's discus sion of the relations between Canada and the Fnited States in August Century) The natural routes of trade and commerce in Canada lead to the south; the character and social conditions of the people ale North American, not Knglish. The temperate zone of the North American comment, along the northern fringe of which lies Canada, is all one country in its aspirations and material progress. Tile ties between five-Sevenths of the people of Canada and the people of Kngiand are those of tra dition, sentiment and blood, while the like ties of the ot her , t vvo-sev cut hs afc to France and the Fnited States. It may be true that such ties constitute a tangible force, but that is a matter open to debate, and not to be settled until it comes to a question of international disputes. The ties between Canada and the Fnited Stan are those compelling bonds of g graphical and economic likeness, reciprocity of needs and markets, natural routes for trade and transpor--.ation, sympathetic financial exchanges, individual investments one within the confines of the other, to sav nothing of the fact that more than a million Canadian-born a number equaling oc-seventh of the present population of Canada have found homes and profitable occupation in the Fnited States, within easy hailing distance of their native land; and in that land are perhaps half. a million or more people who were born in the Fnited States. To sav- that Canada never can achieve the lull measure !' her material greatness ;:s an independent nation takes nothing from her present power or her splendid progr ss. dn fact, the greater the latter. tlx more evident ivill be the need to extend her southern bou nda ries. If the position were reversed from what it is today, and the proposition were to be submitted to the Canadian people whether or n ot they would an nex the Fnited States, the vote would be virtually unanimous in favor of stnh annexation. The eco nomic results would be the same as if the Fnited States annexed Canada: the people of the whole continent would move forward at the same pace now observed in the expanding industry and inter nal power of the Fnited States In some directions the science of government is more highly developed in Canada than in any other country in the world. A notable instance of this is in the administration and disposal of public land Notwithstanding the vast area to be given away to settlers, there ha. been no prodigality or waste. The home builder is the man that is wanted, and he is tin- only one who can secure title to arable land The banking system is held to be superior to that of the Fnited States; tenure in administra tive and judicial office is based largely upon good behavior; immigration is restricted along protective lines; and the customs are admnistered with the l-ast possible inconvenience to the importer or the traveler. There is no rivalry between the Fnited States nd Canada. The interests of the two peoples are identical; the needs of both countries can be filled one by the other. No thought of conqm st originates south of the Canadian boundary, and no thought of surrender from within. The resources of Canada, developed to their utmost, are only supplementary to the needs of the people of the whole continent; and to the south lie the great masses of population which are increasing in density at such a rate as to invite the prediction that before many years have elapsed it will require the highest potential energy of both peoples to supply their actual wants. The extension of American trade in Canada cannot be checked by laws or restrictions; the expansion of American markets for Canadian produce will be measured only by the ability to supply. A MAN SHOULD WHISTLE WHEREVER HE PLEASES If a man whistles while at his work it may comfort him to know that modern psychology is against those, his co-workers, who object to the practice. For a man's whistle is the safety valve of his happiness. If a man be happy and inclined to whistle, but for some doubtful conventional reason retrains, he injures himself by just so many notes of praise confined in his head, silently vitiating his joy. The objector does not think of the whistler as be ing happy, but as whistling. He objects to the noise. In this he is narrowly at fault. Pet him change his mind and suffer no more the pangs of outrage. Fet him say of the whistle. "That is a sound of happiness which I am not happy enough to make, but I am glad that chap is." Kvery time he sav s "I am glad" he w ill have a little more reason to be. Kvery time he thinks of whistling as not trifling, he will dislike it los. Kvery time he concentrates on his own work he will know less .f what his associates are doing with their time, and care less, find accomplish more, and be more worthy to ask silence if he happens at any time to be beset by a "fit of nerves."
