The Main-Line Dinner
' When they come, main-line railroads for Phoenix
will come double; or. one will quickly follow the
ether. The reasons which we may offer to the
Tidewater road why it is to its advantage to ge:
into this valley early will be equally appealing to
tile Southern Pacific. There is not the slightest
Coiibt that Loth these companies intend to put
Phoenix on a main line. If we should sit .lon with
folded hands, we suppose these roads would !
l-uilt some time. But tht element of time for us is
an inioitanl one. We want a main line and we
need it now.
We are all aware of the fact that only exigen
cies are impelling large undertakings now; that cap
ital is being invested only in erteiprises which
promise early and great profits. It is -not becauau
money is scarce. Kither of the companies which
are contemplating building into Phoenix could raise
the necessary capital. They afe waiting only until
conditions which arc now disturl-d shall ie settled.
It is the business of Phoenix to offer them such
an inducement to early action that they will pro
ceed at once, knowing that the advantage they will
i! rive thereby will offset any possible disadvantage
that might result to them when the readjustment of
conditions throughout the world is made.
A meeting of the business men of Ph-ienix and
vicinity will take place at a main-line-" dinner next
Friday night. It should !; so well attended that
it will be thoroughly reiresentatie; so that t!:e
sentiment of eery community and every element
may be presented, and so that it m ty be made
l-.no.vn in a general way what inducement we may
make to railroad builders to e-:iedite their work
iiiid so that a general plan can be agreed upon.
We believe theie is none at present, and It is
Necessary that there should lie one and no more,
along which we shall all work together. We trust
that when the dinner is ended a plan will nave been
agreed uKn, backed by every man in the community.
A Study of the Columbidae
The little things of this world are often the
most momentous in disguise. The whole course of
Lie is often turned v na given a new direction by
some trifling incident. For instance, until within a
Cuy or two we had lie er taken the slightest in
terest in ornithological matters. We wee able, of
touise, to distinguish a bird from a quadruped by
turcfullj counting the legs ot each. We couid also
distinguish bilds from fishes by noting the varying
characteristics of feathers and scales. But now we
know more than many professional ornithologists do,
because of a hastily H-nned statement by a re
porter for the Bisbee Iteview. who probably dis
missed the subject from his mind without a thought
that he was leading us into scientific research
Here is the stalement that has exercised this
mighty influence:
"According to the stale game warden. G. M.
' V.'illard, the reason has closed on blue rock pigeons
until lalS. This comes into effect under the pro
visions of the federal migratory bird law.'
After making inquiry without result concerning
- the blue rock pigeon, we consulted the encyclopedias,
but in the list of something, more than 300 varieties
of the Columbidae tsmily. we could find no Mue
rock pigeon. There as the rock pigeon and the
fclue pigeon. At first we thought the blue rock
p;geon was a result of :niscegenntloii in contraven
tion of the laws of this state, but we learned later
that the blue pigeon Is not really a pigeon at all.
but the sailors- name for a deep-sea lead.
, We next turned to the local 8Krting authori
ties for information. One gentleman said the blue
rH.k pigeon had an actual existence, regardless of
the silence of ornithologists, but among sporting
men, the word pigeon was seldom used the bird
was technically known as a blue rock. It was so
called because of its color, a solid black with yel
low, and sometimes white, markings. One notice
able characteristic of the blue rock, he said, was
the absence of feathers. It should not be confounded
with the rock pigeon, from which it differs in many,
in fact, all essential respects. However, persons
who had never made a comparative rtudy of the
two varieties might easily be confused by the name
given to the bloe rock !n some localities the clay
I igeon."
In reply to other queslioning. he said that the
birds were migratory. They appeared in this lati
tude at various seasons, but at no particular season
of the year, but he had never observed, or' heard of
their nesting In Arizona. They were undoubtedly
under the protection of the federal game law.
Blue rocks, he said, were indigenous to many
liarts of the United States. A famous breeding
pluce was in Illinois, where the blue rocks were
hatched in great numbers, though our informant
said he feared the flights from that and oilier
hatcheries this year would be much smaller since
it appeared that all sorts of American factories
were laying aside their regular lines and putting in
machinery to manufacture war material for the
allies.' Less attention than formerly would, there
fore, probably be paid to the propagation of blue
rocks.
The Unneutral Strike
The Germans may sink American citizens, but
we do not think this Christian nation vill long
stand for their interference with our industrial a
tivities by inducing out workmen to strike and sus
pend the manufacture of aims, ammunition, poison
ous bom. is and other civilizing ageuls. Still, we do
not see how we can prevent such interference. The
law against it is still more nebulouH than the inter
nal lonal law which we have invoked against Ger
many. In fact, there is no law at nil, or it so, it is
dead for want of exercise. It is the right of any
American citizen to precipitate a strike if he can.
and under our treaty with Germany we cannot deny
Germans, resident in this country, the same riirht.
Muiiy a strike has been started by an interest com
peting with the concern affected by the strike, and
it is on record that manufacturing firms, for one
purpose or another, have induced or forced their
own men to strike.
The fact that in such cases as that of the
Bridgeport strike a neighboring and friendly power
is inconvenienced by the strike does not alter the
Mtuation in any respect. We have never heard oi'
siah a thing as an unneutral strike.
The telegraph editors of this country are the
thief sufferers from the Mexican war. When there
ure so many other things worth while going on In
the world and the wires unload upon him stories
of ludicrous Mexican "battles," in which line man
is killed on one side and se en wounded, w ith four
or five wounded on the inner, and hundreds s.'ared
on both, thoughts suige over the telegraph editor
that submerge and innie: 11 his immortal soul. What
he thinks of the corresjiondents who send out this
stuff would laud him in Jail if he pruned it. A
l.o-hll hffstoall game is an interesting function, but
these no-hit and much-run Mexican battles are a
weariness to the flesh.
When our navy iibajl be leorganized by Secre
tary Daniels and Ms orps tf inventors and scien
tists, the quarrelsome nations will lc scared b the
wierdness of our contraptions into keeping the
peace. Nations, like men, hesitate to go up agains'
things they know nothing about.
What are the modern battleships and cruisers
of the warring nations for. anyhow 7 They apea:'
to use only their old ones. .At any rate, we hear
that only the old and antiquated ships are sent into
dangerous places and destroyed.
IN OTHER PEOPLE'S CLOTHES
People whom wnury lia; never compelled in
infancy or adolescence to wear oilier people's clothes
nave misseil a valuable lesson in sor ial sympathy.
It Is a strong man who feels that he is himself
in another man's old coat. If an individuality is
fine enough to be worth retaining, it is likely to be
fine enough to disappear utterly beneath the weight
of another man's shoulders upon one's own.
Most of us would rather have our cree Is chosen
for us than our clothes. Most of us would r'cther
select our own tatters than have another's cast-off
splendors thrust upon us. It Is no light achieve
ment, the thing up to and ii.to other people's clothes.
Clothes acquire so nmcn iieisonality from their
first wearer adjust themselves to the swell of the
chest, the quirk of the elbow, the hitch in the hip
Joint that the first wearer always wears them, no
matter how many times they may be given away,
lie is always felt lo be inside, so that Hie second
wearer's ego is constantly bruised by the pressure
resulting from two gentlemen occupying the same
waistcoast.
The man who can receive another man's old
clothes without thereby losing his self-respect is fi'.
to be a prince among paupers, but the man who
can give another man his old clothes without
wounding thnt man's self-rescct is fit to be the
king of all philanthropists. Atlantic Monthly.
TORRENS REAL ESTATE TITLE SIMPLICITY
Ohio recently amended its Torrens law whi"h is
thr law that makes land transfers simplicity Itself.
Sir Richard Robert Torrens. when he invented the
Trrens system in Australia in 1S"7. hardly foresaw'
the time that eleven American states, Hawaii, the
Philippines and the isles of the sen '.vould adopt his
theories of land registration that have proved o
successful in their application on. the continert of
Australia and in almost every British country of
the globe; and elsewhere.
The first parcel of land ever transferred In Ohio
under the amendd Torrens law htis Just leen re
corded in Cuyahoga county (Cleveland). The trans
fer was made with the minimum of trouble and of
expense, in striking contrast with the Intricate,
tedious and costly procedure of the old method of
conveyancing, Title is guaranteed hy the state
Certificate of title was -ipplied for at the county
courthouse at 2 o'clock. A fee. of $l.S0 paid to
the county recorder. At 3 o'clock th certificate of
title was passed to the purchaser of the land, lust

FEEDS HER POODLE $2 STEAKS
Waiters at a New Haven hotel are still discuss

Astor was her pet poodle, "Mizzle." The waitcr-i

LINES TO BE REMEMBERED
If you. your heart, your will, are en
listed on the good side, if you are wish
ing and trying that the good in you
should compter the bad, then you are
on the side of God Himself, and God is
on your side; and "if God be for us who
shall he. against us?" Take courage,
then, if thou dislikest thy wins, so does
God. If thou art fighting against thy
worst fcelingK, so is God. On thy side
is God who made all, and Christ who
died for all, and the Holy Spirit who
alone gives wisdom, purity,, nobleness.
How can'st thou fall when He Is on thy
side? On thy side arc all spirits of just
men made perfect, all wise and good
souls in earth and heaven, all good and
wholesome Influences, wether of nature
or of grace, of matter or of mind. How
canst thou fail of they arc in thy side?

JAMES GOODIN IS DEAD
Contractor Who Built Old Exposition
Building Was 80 Years Old
James Goodin. a contractor and
real estate dealer. 80 years old, died
late one night last weeK at his home,
f. 11 Oakland avenue, Kansas City,
Mo. In the years lXSfi. 1KS7 and 1SS,
Mr. Goodin bought land to the value
of one million dollars, much of which
he sold again.
The old lOxposition building, mod
eled a"fter the Crystal Palace of I.011
don, was Mr. Goodin's conception. A
company known as the Interstate
Fair association had equipped expo
sition grounds in Westport, and - the
exhibitions for which Kansas City
was then famous had been held there
from 1SSII to 1SSG. The land soon
became too valuable for exposition
purposes, and then the fair grounds
were established between Twelfth and
Fifteenth streets at Kansas avenue
The Imposition building was proj
ected by .Mr. Goodin as an individual
project. He spent $Gr,)00 on the
plan, and fhen, after vexatious do
lays, decided to suspend operations
until the following season, but a
ruinber of citizens under the leader
ship of T. A. Harris, feeling that the
interests of the city demanded the
immediate completion of the building,
formed a corporation and carried the
work through, $200,000 being sub
scribed for the purpose. ,
The Exposition building for several
years was one of the chief attrac
tions of Kansas City. It was opened
on uctoner e, insi. r-resiaent ana
Mrs. Grover Cleveland attended thp
fair and a crowd of fifty thousand
passed in review before them. . The
exposition hall stood until August &,
1901, when it was destroyed by.fire.
Mr. Goodin is survived by his wife.
(Burial was made in Cincinnati. :
