ciays wnen tue arc oi careering around a preci-
pice on two wheels was held in awe, it is unfor
tunate that the many people who go to the Phi
als have to attempt these feats when lacking
the peculiar training that some pioneer drivers
may have acquired. Although, to merely hit
the high places is very exliilirating, yet the
breaking of a part of the harness or wagon
while doing so insures swift calamity. Another
feature of driving in the Phials is that, for long
stretches down steep inclines, it is impossible
for two teams to pass each other. Fortunately,
the necessity of doing this rarely arises, for on
Sundays, when the Pinal mountains are most
frequented, the teams make the ascent in the
morning and roturn in the afternoon, practical
ly all the people are thus going in one direction
at the same time, so that the need of getting by
each other on the trail seldom arises.
While it may not be possible to make a great
outlay on .the Pinal roads at the present time,
yet the improving of the mountain trails to the
point of peing safe could, peyond a doubt, be ac
complished, if the many people who find pleas
ure in outings would make an organized effort
to secure it.

The Pittsburg Dispatch discusses in a recent
issue "The Burden of Fair Women." Curi
ously enough, the article concerns itself not at
all with the present style in hats.
Some one comes forward with a story telling
about a Minnesota automobilist who was sent
to jail and fined heavily for exceeding the
speed limit, but who admits, nevertheless, that
he was justly so ntenced. Evidently the fish
liar is to have some fierce competition this
summer.
THE PINAL ROAD
Relative to the editorial on the Pinal moun
tains as a summer resort, which appeared in
the Silver Belt some time ago, a resident of this
city, who is, also, a practical man, and is fa
miliar with ordinary road construction, has vol
unteered the estimate that the road leading
from here to Ice House canyon could be made
safe for travel with a expenditure of about
$1,000. This same man thinks that an intelli
gent outlay of $100 on the trail leading from Tee
House canyon to Sawmill canyon would put it
in passaoie snape. Ui all the pleasant haunts
that the Pinal mountains afford, Sawmill can
yon is said by many people to be the most at
tractive. Now, although ten or eleven hundred dollars
is a very small amount when applied to road
building, we are inclined to think that the esti
mate given by the gentleman interested in the
Pinal roads is approximately correct. While
the sum mentioned would not bring very notice
ably results if applied to road-building, yet, if
put into the right kind of repair work, it would,
as the interested resident says, improve them
to such an extent that to pass over them after
dark would not imperil the lives of the travel
ers. A Jittle filling here and there, and the oc
casional removal of outcropping boulders, with
a slight reduction of grade in a few instances.
where the pitch is too nearly perpendicular,
would change the road from its present resemb
lance to a burro trail to a fairly respectable
wagon road. And the cost of this work would
not be great.
As the road is at present, it presents many
features that are not pleasant. This statement,
of course, conveys no revelation to the many
pleasure seekers that wend their way mountain
ward every Sunday. Not to mention several
spots where the stoop pitches are so boulder
strewn that a team can scarcely pull a wagon
over them, there are several places where a
slight swerving from the track would precipi
tate a rig and its occupants over the bluff. The
many deep ruts that have been washed out bv
Now with all due respect to the olden even in states that have a climate but poorly
aaapted to such presentations. If we accept the
dictum of the venerable Mark Twain, New Eng-i
land has 136 kinds of' weather, and from nine
to ten varieties in a single day are not unusual.
Yet, in the face of all this atmospherical dis
turbance and fickleness, New England has been
a stronghold of the open air drama. One of
the most notable evidences of this was afforded
recently when an English version of Schiller's
Joan of Arc was presented in Cambridge,
Mass., before an audience of more than 15,000
people. The roofless theater is fast becoming
an important adjunct to the American college
community and to many cities and towns. The
fame of the Greek theater at the University of
California is widespread. Since its dedication it
has been the scene of a large number of credi
table performances.
In view of the encouragement of outdoor
players given by states that are the bane of the
weather man's life, it is singular, to say the
least, that some of the slates and territories
with good climates have done so little to popu
larize this healthful form of amusement. The
climate of Arizona, for instance, can not be par
alleled in this country as being favorable for
the open air play. A roofless theater in every
city of moderate size in the territory would add
much to the pleasure of its residents. There are
comparatively few days of the yoa'r when the
weather 'would not permit the presentation of
plays under the sky. A stock company in Globe,
for example, would have the support of the pub
lic in giving shows outdoors, in a suitable stad
ium. Anyone who has ever attended such pro
ductions knows the novel impression they make
on the spectator. Although business opportun
ity is the most powerful factor in the upbuilding
of any community, yet the influence exerted on
the new-comer by creditable amusement facil
ities is also strong, and should tend to make his
residence permanent. Enclosed theaters lose
much patronage during the summer for. the
simple reason that they are often so oppressive
ly hot that a person already sweltering dislikes
to commit himself to them for several hours,
even though the show is highly entertaining.
But a theater in the open would surely be the
mecca of amusement seekers for a large part of
the year.
MODERN LONGEVITY
Social statistics recently compiled" go to show
that with the incr6ased application of hygienic
principles of living, and the scientific methods
of sanitation consequent upon a higher stan
dard of civilization, the life of the average man
and woman is growing longer with each genera
tion. In its attitude toward increased longevity
the public is divided. Some hold to the rule
laid down in Ecclesiastes that all earthly exis
tence beyond four score and ten is simply a
weariness of the flesh and little to be desired.
Others believe in old age as a period replete
with the wisdom derived from six or seven de
codes of experience in the joys and ills of this
life.
It is characteristic of youth to regard old
age as a very dull period, and one which offers
but slight inducement to a continuance of life,
It is an allwise regulation of nature, however,
that this view of old age is modified with in
creasing years, and further, that the elderly
man, as a rule, does not cling so tenaciously to
life as does the stripling. And so when the end
approaches the average man of advanced years
finds him in a frame of mind that does not
make the event of death nearly so unwelcome
or dreaded as the younger person may imagine.
Some there are who take the extreme view of
subordinating everything in life to the general
progress of the world, even to the unhumane
sacrifice of the individual. Tf science, applied
to living, has simply increased longevity, they
say, then its work in this field is more than
worthless, for it has burdened the fit with the
support of the aged whose utility is nil. Now
this Osier-like attitude is not at all likely to
find favor with the majority of people, and the
chances are that the great mass of people would
rise up in strenuous protest at the suggestion of
such a harking back to barbarity. The status
of the aged among us is yet, and let us hope,
ever will be, surrounded with reverence, re
spect and kindly attentiveness. For blood and
human affection are still strong enough to over
whelm any dictum made by the coldly scientific
with a view to hastening the niilciinium.
It may be truthfully said, moreover, that sci
ence while' increasing longevity has, also pro
longed the usefulness of the average human
being, so that, far from imposing a burden on
the race, it has added materially to its general
effectiveness in the work which the world offers.

THE OPEN AIR SHOW
The interest that has been aroused of late
throughout the United States in outdoor theat
ricals gives promise of the increasing popular
ity of this source of amusement. The show
presented in the open air was a well-recognized
means of enjoyment centuries ago, in several
of the countries of Europe, but like many an
other good institution, it has been crowded out
by the more pretentious methods resorted to

players of the olden times, who gave their per
formances on the village sward or in the shiide
of the greenwood were, according to historical
record, well-nigh indispensable to the life of
that time when artificial amusements had not
yet been brought to the high development that
characterizes them today. In late years, how
ever, the names of the Ben Greet, Donald Rob
ertson and Coburn companies are familiar
throughout the United States and England.
They are held to bo highly creditable players,
who combine a high degree of art with an equal
ly high degree of simplicity. The outdoor the
atricals hark back to a more primitive age, but
the business-worn populace of today is ready to
pay them homage with its support and commen
dation. Practically every large city of America
has enjoyed visits from one or more of these
companies of players, and approval of the kind
THE LOGICAL END OF LYNCH LAW
The trouble with the lyncher is "that ho keeps
his every apologist forever fashioning fresh ex
his every apologist forever fashioning frehs ex
cuses for illegal executions of criminals or sus
pected criminals. That is to say, that is one
trouble with him one among mariy.
The logical end of lynch law is contempt for
all law and reckless disregard of it entirely and
in all forms. A negro was recently taken from
a Florida jail and lynched, notwithstanding the
fact that he had been tried for the murder ho
was alleged to have committed, found guilU,
and sentenced to be hanged. Moreover, his
sentence was to have been executed within five
days. There was no fault to find with the con
duct of his trial, lie was promptly arraigned
when caught, tried in order and with due re
gard to decorous and decent procedure, and
would have been in his grave and out of the way
within ninety days of the time the crime was
committed and, mark you, the crime was not
even the "usual" one; it was murder.
What, consciously or unconsciously, was tho
isolated motive behind this mob's dastardly
work? It had no excuse whatever along the
usually proclaimed lines. There was surely uo
unseemly delay of tho law to complain of. X )
further appeal to the courts was contemplated :
the governor even had announced that he would
not seek to interfere with the execution of the
death sentence, scheduled to be carried out
within less than one week's time. The one lone
motive behind it all was the mob's inclination
to show its contempt for the law its willing-
