A THOUGHT FOR TODAY
My experience of life makes me sure of one
thing, that the sweetest happiness we ever
know comes fi'om sacrifice, from the efforts to
make others happy. Pcarse.
If every well was a hole in the ground man's
pathway would certainly be filled with pitfalls.
Frnncelras formulated "a code of the air."
It will be of little interest to "wo earthmen."
"Farmers will listen to Bryan," says the
Phoenix Democrat. Talk about the patience of
Job!
In a recent Egyptian speech our Teddy said
that "deeds should come after words." Teddy,
get busy.
If the report comes from "Washington tomor
row that tho statehood bill has passed the sen
ate, just remember tho date.
'A' Southern Pacific attache at Tucson has
written a musical comedy entitled "A- Sacred
Liar." Ilarriman didn't live in vain.
Dad Sturgcs has joined the Cameron ranks
and asserts with vehemence that the statehood
bill will pass at this session of congress.
Trust Benson, Arizona, for innovations. The
Press has made its appearance with the head
of tho newspaper printed on the last page.
At least it will bo no foolin' matter with the
bill collector. He will be there in all seriousness
for the price of that new Easter bonnet.
Lamblike March was ushered in and lamblike
March will be ushered out. Arizona, especially
the Globe section, has the finest climate in the
world.
"Egyptians get plain talk," reads a tele
graphic headline. Without going any deeper
in the column here's dollars to doughnuts that
it's Teddy.
A Phoenix spinster with a fat bank roll, after
trying for fifty-three years to get away from
"single blis.sflness," hanged herself to a tree
the other day.
"While passing through these cloudy, days it
is refreshing, at least, to read that J. Parke
dimming predicts that copper will again go to
twenty-five cents.
If you see a fat-appearing pocketbook on the
pavement tomorrow morning, don't molest it;
let the other fellow pick it up, so that you, too,
may enjoy the laugh.
A Phoenix man offers $25 reward for "the
arrest and conviction of any minor found pur

has turned the tables?
That dead man, enroute from California to
Ohio, who tried to leave his casket on a Santa
Fe train at Needles, evidently decided he had
reached his destination.
X San Diego man, the oldest Elk in the world,
celebrated his 100th anniversary the other day
by running a foot race and taking a plunge in
the surf. "Oh, you kid!"
So diversified is the climate of Arizona that
it is not only tho custom, but quite the thing,
to pull off two Arbor Days. The northern tier
of counties will observe tho day on April S.
The Phoenix Republican refers to Colonel "W.
S. Sturges as an "infrequent visitor." And is
the colonel getting to lie something of a stranger
in the circle championed by the Republican; or
is life more pleasant "down on the farm?"
Phoenix is pulling for the general offices of
the Consolidated Telephone company, claiming
that increase of business in that city warrants
that step. If gate receipts are to be considered
Globe will knock tho plum.
"Tt seems that the Arizona Republican can't
alight anywhere without blistering its feet,"
says the Phoenix Democrat. George Mauk et
al., in Globe, might give the bird a tip pn where
a cold shoulder could be found.
Tex Richard savs that if Johnson quits the
great ""White "Way" he has "a chance to defeat
Jeffrie." It would be a tame aitair it lie didn't
have a chance. But why this kind of dope? The
advance sales already approximate $160,000. -
It poured down again on Easter Sunday in
Southern California. And now the Los Angeles
newspapers are tolling the outside world that
the oldest inhabitant can't recall when Jupiter
Pluvius was guilty of such conduct. Oh, slivers !
The Phoenix Republican recalls the fact that
one "William Jennings Bryan once upon a time
made a triumphal march around the world amid
wild plaudits to return one night to a genuine
ovation in New York, and the next day to be
the Colonel Bryan of years before. Teddy,
Teddy; don't thou see thy fate?
WORKMEN'S PENSIONS
After twenty years of agitation and four
years of legislative debate, the French senate
has passed a workmen's pension bill by a vote
of 280 to 2. Thus France, in this respect, places
herself in the vanguard of progress.
The time is coming when every nation in
Christendom will either find some way to assure
the worker a more fair share of the fruits of
his toil than the competitive wage system gives
him, or provide workmen's pensions.
Pensions for the soldier have been the custom
ary thing for many years; and pensions for
workmen will in time become customary.
A boy comes out of school at 16, say, and goes
to work. Ho works steadily and faithfully for
a lifetime. If he has extraordinary good for
tune, he is able to support himself and his family
through all those years. Yet his wage is inevit
ably so close to the bare cost 'of living that sav
ing against impotent age is difficult. Loss of
employment, sickness, injury these lurking
perils time after time wipe out the slender mar
gin of saving" and exhaust tho bank balance;
Fortunate indeed is the workman who reaches
old age with savings ample enough to support
him and his worn-out wife through the valley
whose shadows deepen into the darkness, that
knows no light this side of the grave.
From 16 to 60 forty-four years this man
has delved or spun or wrought for the benefit of
society. Society has profited by his labors, and
has returned to him for his services little if any
more than the bare necessaries of life. Shall
society leave him to die a pauper, or to depend
for his life upon humiliating private or public
charity, when his usefulness is gone? If it does,
isn't it ingratitude of the most wretched kind?
If the soldier deserves a pension for his ef
forts to destroy life and property, how much
more does this workman deserve a pension for
his lifelong efforts to serve humanity, to foster
life and to create and increase property?
If the soldier whose occupation it is to kill
and destroy is a patriot, how much more a pat
riot is this workman whose occupation it is to
save and create property and to prosper hu
manity !
"When society accepts from the workman the
rich fruits of his long life of toil, giving him in
return but the scantiest share of his own pro
ducts, and then leaves him to charity in his use
less age, society commits a crime.
The workman's pension is not a charity, but
a well earned and rightful reward for a life of
useful service.
It is a measure of justice, not of philanthropy.
Extended by society to the workmen who have
made society's prosperity and progress possible,
it is a duty done, not a concession granted. It
is well earned pay, not a beggar's pittance.
It is an assurance to the faithful worker that
society, which has profited by his labor during
his years of useful service, "will not throw him
into the scrapheap of pauperism when his eyes
are dim and his hand feeble.
was with Roosevelt during part of his recent
travels, appeared before the house committee
on agriculture to sing the praises of meat from
the wild beasts of the African rivers- and jun
gles. They made it quite clear that if this country's
supply of food animals goes back on us, all we
have to do to be saved from vegetarianism is
to cultivate a taste for hippopotamus, rhinocer
os, camel, eland, springbok, trekbok, dikdik, coo
doo, giraffe, and other African animals. The
taste cultivated, or the necessity made so press
ing that we will eat these beasts whether we
have the taste for them or not, all Ave need to
do is to import these animals, dead or alive, and
eat them.
However, there probably will be more diffi
culty in making hippopotamus steak and dikdik
cutlets popular than there would be in increas
ing the supply of beef, mutton, or pork. Just
at present, we fancy there is no great appetite
for these delicacies in this country. Cultivated
palates may delight in coo-doo and rhinoceros,
but American palates haven't that sort of culti
vation. Perhaps these animals, some of them
at least, are not so bad as they sound. The
springbok and trekbok are kinds of deer. The
coo-doo and the dikdik sound like fantastic
beasts out of a Lewis Carroll nonsense rhyme.
The rhinoceros and the hoppopotamus, viewed
in the circtfs menagerie, didn't look the part if
they are good to eat.
Let us hope that the situation isn't so bad
as to make it necessary to do this thing. Maybe
if the tariff were removed from meat and meat
animals, we could get in some supplies of real
meat, the kind of meat we have been taught to
like. Maybe if some of the native animals could
be released sooner from cold storage there
would be a larger visible supply of our own kind
of meat. Maybe if the "meat trust could be de
horned the meat supply wTould be greater and
prices lower. Several things will occur to any
body that are worth trying before we resort to
the proposed consumption of hippopotamus
spareribs. '

In The Halls of Congress
BY TAV.
Special Washinctnn Correspondence.
WASHINGTON, D. C, March 30. (Special)
That President Taft's position as leader of
the republican party was considerably under
mined in the recent fight upon the house rules is
realized in many quarters. Now that sufficient
time has passed to estimate the damage done
the G. O. P. as a result of the introduction of
the Norris resolution, it is fully realized in polit
ical circles that the Taft administration was re
vealed supporting the Cannon side of the con
troversy squarely.
It is being recalled, for instance, that in the
very midst of the battle which raged throughout
an entire night, Representative Sereno Payne
of New York, the republican floor leader, arose
and appealed to the progressives to desert their
cause out of respect for the president. There
could be no misunderstanding of Mr. Payne's
meaning. His intimation was that the president
would be best satisfied if Speaker Cannon was
allowed to remain a member of the rules com
mittee. As the republican floor leader used the
president's name in attempting to dissuade the
progressives from their attempt to improve the
nationally-condemned house rules, there could
be no other inference than that Mr. Payne con
sidered the insurgents' movement to be one hos
tile to the wishes of , the president.
No injustice is being done Mr. Taft when it is
said that the present rules would have been
improved at the opening of the present session
had not he sided against the progressives. Soon
after the house convened following Mr. Taft's
inauguration an attempt was made by the pro
gressives and democrats to unseat Speaker Can
non and improve the house rules as provided
for in the Norris resolution. The allies would
have been successful but for the action of the
president, who used every power at his com
mand to defeat the object of the coalition of pro
gressives and democrats. The president's rea
son for protecting "Uncle Joe" and the old
rules, as given to visitors at the "White House,
was that he (President Taft) believed that a
change of speakers together with new rules
would operate against the passage of a tariff
bill such as was promised in the republican plat
form. Ever since that time it has been well known
in Washington that President Taft would dis
approve of any attempt to change either rules
or speaker. Republican members of congress
wore led to believe that should they attempt to
do either of these things, they would immedi
ately fall into disrepute at the White House.
The president's attitude undoubtedly caused
many a republican who disapproved of the
speaker and rules to keep his own counsel and to
tolerate a condition that in his own heart he felt
to bo little short of infamous.
Viewing the recent fight in the light of these
facts, it becomes apparent that those republic
ans who voted with the democrats in support of
the Norris resolution did so irrespective of the
position of President Taft. That indicates that
the president's control of republican members
of congress is on the wane.
That the administration was backing the old
rules side of the argument was made plain
by the fact that the so-called "regulars," or
those who accept the leadership of the presi
dent, opposed the Norris resolution providing
for the improvement of the rules.
In the approaching congressional elections,
therefore, the regulars will have to defend their
antagonism to the fair and much needed reform
of the house rules, along with the Payne-Ald-rich-Smoot
tariff law, extravagance, and all the
rest of their political sins.
