COUNCIL VS. RAILROAD
"So the people may know," is a good slogan.
It is so easy for the great majority of us not
to know just when opportunity is knocking at
the door of a city that if justice were done,
the people should know, not half, but the whole
truth, and that, too, through the agency of those
who are chosen to further their interests, the
city officials. Unfortunately, but necessarily,
most of the people are so much under the
pressure of business competition that they find
- it impossible to keep informed on all the details'
of the city's administrative affairs. Nor have
they the time to do it. The average person
.rightly considers that the men who are elected
. to protect and further municipal progress may
safely be trusted to do this without any atten
tion or espionage being exercised by the general
public. And wo believe that in CJlobe this belief
is well-grounded. The majority of our city
officials are absolutely trustworthy, -progressive
and energetic. They are a big factor in tl;e
development of the greater Globe. But just as
in any movement or enterprise, there is never
absolute good unmixed with evil, so in this
city's administration, there is a small obstruc
tionist element.
This would not be a dangerous fact were it
not for the reason that circumstances sometimes
permit men who have sold themselves from
motives purely personal to the cause of retro
gression to exorcise such an influence that ac
tions detrimental to every best interest of a
city are railroaded through in haste and re
gretted ever afterward.
There are two kinds of wrong that are equal
ly bad. lie it cities or individuals, thov are
chargeable with two kinds of offenses the
wrong they actually do and the good which they
leave undone. And of these two failings com
mon to both men and municipalities, it is doubt
ful whether the pusiihc crime of asinine passivi
ty and stupid deliberation should not receive a
harsher rating than the offense of working evil
through action either impetuous or malicious.
A decision always makes room for action, but
in a prolonged delay in any movement of im
portance, stagnation, the most virulent malady
of cities, is the result.
Now it needs no acute discernment or high
degree of wisdom to make local application 'of
all that has gone before in this article. The
greatest political poultice now needed for the
cure of the ills to which this city is heir is the
God-given faculty of doing something and of
leaving fewer necessary things undone.' The
wisdom of hv. ages and the promise of the
future arc both embodied in the ability to act
and to know when the time for action is ripe.
That the time for doing something in Globe
is now ripe, he who makes no pretense at
foresight may discover. And the necessity for
action is evidenced by a number of things rela
tive to the obtaining of increased transporta
tion facilities in this city.
For instance, does the average citizen know
that some three weeks ago formal application
was made by the railroad company to the city
council for the fair exchange of the strip of
land where the tracks now lay on North Broad
street for a new right of way on the east side
of the Pinal creek, and thence on up the hill
side to the Old Dominion smelter. The grant
ing of this request by the council would do away
entirely with the present railroad crossing, as
i steel bridce would be built over the street
to accommodate the railway. This bridge, of
course, would be constructed by (he railroad
company and wholly at ifs expense. The rail
road company desires at this point to' widen its J
right of way, and to that end, a part of the
Banker's garden property has already been
bought. In its endeavor to gain further neces
sary right of way concessions by the payment
of the full purchase price, or its equivalent, the
company justly counted upon receiving the un
qualified co-operation of the city. But, on the
contrary, certain members of the council and
private individuals as well, have been so blind
to the city's welfare and so devoid of any
vestige of public spirit that they have placed
every conceivable obstruction in the way of the
company's attempt to increase the extent of its
lines in this vicinity. The granting of the ap
plication by the council would result in a widen
in" of the right of way from Banker's garden
fo the Old Dominion slag dump, something that
the veriest tyro in railroad building from ifs
local aspect can see will ultimately be neces
sary.' On just what reasons at least one member of
the council bases his refusal to act on this ques
tion and to act favorably is hard to see. The
council went over the ground and had the de
sired change pointed out to it in detail so that
ignorance of the circumstances, which pardons;
i .i . -.-.i
so many transgressions, can not De pleaded
here. At first, the council seemed heartily in
favor of the plan proposed by the railroad com
pany. But since -then, whether by the malign
influence of an individual venting personal
spite, or for other reasons no better grounded,
an adverse sentiment has arisen. It hardly needs
to be said that a public official has no right to
the exercise of personal spite in his official ca
pacity as a servant of the public. If a man
in office lets his desires for vengeance or finan
cial gain pervert his judgment, ho is guilty of
an offense against humanity which no public,
however docile, can or should forgive. lie has
stamped himself thereby as the most incapable
of officials, and a disgrace to the community in
which he lives. And let us hasten to say that
the public weal is sped with his swift and per
manent removal from any office carrying with
it the power for good or evil.
The railroad company has gone to great ex
pense to build shops and lay out yards in Globe.
This work, to be sure, was done from purely
business motives. A corporation can not be
philanthropic in its operation and live. But a
railway company has a right fo at least expect
reasonable and just co-operation from a oitj
in the furtherance of new transportation facili
ties. Railroads and cities grow up together,
and anything tha.t retards the growth of one
immediately affects for the worse the progress
and industry of the other. In a county like Ari-
not'as they are. But hard fact can not be al
tered. It is undeniable, however, that if one
or two individuals in the city council are per
mitted to conduct municipal affairs as if they
had a first mortgage on the city and its future,
sudden disaster is being invited. The people
do not favor the policies of these individuals,
and in this, as in the management of all other
public enterprises, the voice of the public must
rule. We believe it will.

heads of the McNeil stripe will be eliminated

From a railroad standpoint Globe has won
derful opportunities. In embracing them, lib

It is to be hoped that a majority of the city
aldermen will see that Globe's progress is not
impeded by an aldermanic buffoon.
"Girls, you shouldn't put powder on fiery

"The Daily Arizona Silver Belt is the best

city the size of Globe." Newspaperdom.
That $2,000,000 deal is simply a starter. Sev

are on tap. Keep your eye on the Globe district.
zona, cities are in the building everywhere.
Some will be great and prosperous, some, will
be small and decadent. But the moral that
where the most railroads go, there will bo the
greatest center of population and of commercial
activity is written in letters so glaring that
none conversant with conditions can fail to
read them in all their significance. And the de
liberate halting of the wheels of progress by
any mulish, malicious and shortsighted individ
ual in public or private position is a heinous
crime against the" community at large.
Globe is now standing with all her incalcula
ble wealth at the door of an industrial future
that even the most optimistic have never yet
realized in its entirety. Plans for railroad
building to further her industry are already
conditionally made by the Southern Pacific
Railroad company. The wvord conditionally is
used advisedly, for at this most critical time,
when the advantages of Globe as a railway
center are being weighed in the balance with
those offered by other cities, new and growing
and rich in resources, certain dilatory conduct
on the part of public officials may easily so
change the trend of circumstances that Globe
will miss a large part of the facilities necessary
to the fullest attainment of the prosperity that
is her dm
We earnestly wish that the conditions were

Translated by Maude Marie
Lo ! my daughter, hast thou met the near
widow? Verily, verily, I charge thee beware
of her! For of all the "wild animals I have
known," she is the wildest, and thou standest
no chance against her.
She leaveth her husband in the city to
make money, while she goeth forth into the
country to spend it.
And lo! when the summer youth spyelh
her, he cryeth, "That for mine."
"Yea," he murmureth unto himself, "a
real widow is a possible wife, and a bread-and-butter
girl is a probable husband-hunter?
but a woman who is married just a little is
a positive joy." .
Then, behold how she devourelh all the
men upon the hotel piazza and cornereth the
escort market. And the curses of the match
making mammas fall upon her, for she is the
hotel attraction.
She weareth cute frocks in the morning,
and poseth in the light canoe; and in the
evening she watcheth the moon rise beside
the still waters and the best looking man on
the beach.
And unto the women, she saith sweetly,
"Verily my husband understandeth me;
therefore, is he not troubled that I make my
self pleasant unto others." But unto the
men she sigheth, "My husband doth not un
derstand me."
And this is always effective. For when a
woman is both pretty and married, cannot a
man console himself with the thought, that
perhaps her husband doth not appreciate
her I Yea, verily!
And behold, when the near-widow depart
eth she leaveth the men all sad and the
women all happy. Verily, verily, a husband
at a distance is worth two at hand, and a lit
tle vacation is worth much matrimony.

FLIRT MAKES GOOD WIFE
The flirt by which is generally meant the
feminine inconstant is by no means the cold
and heartless being of the novelist's misrepre
sentation. Sir Walter Scott knew better when
he wrote that woman "in our hours of ease, un
certain, coy, and hard to please," is to man
kind's pain and sorrow veritably "a ministering
angel."
It is remarkable how often a girl who has had
a score of hearts a-flutter, a dozeii pale flaxen
scalps dangling at her girdle, and who is, there
fore, set down by her elders as more efferves
cent and volatile than perfume, makes one of
the most domesticable of wives and mothers
when her time comes to marry. The face once
wreathed with light, mocking laughter becomes
beautifully serious over a cradle; the favor that
was on.ee dispensed among any number of can
didates for her girlish heart and hand becomes
a woman's love to be bestowed, for always', upon
one man out of the whole wide universe.
Flirtation, wisely understood, is perhaps the
means by which nature has insured the widest
possible range of selection, and hence in the
long run the highest attainable degree of human
happiness.
