Germany and South America V.nmnny," says an exchange, "has not become so a riubed in the as to forget that there will a commercial hereafter, different in many resists f-om conditions that obtained before the v.

nr." The United States appears not to be making preparation for such a hereafter, for the acquisi-i: r.f new commercial territory, which must be by private citizens. They are sinning their day r.f grace. It is also feared that will not take steps to protect even country against invasion by Germany in the commercial hereafter. The designs of Germany will be directed chiefly, however, against the South American countries, in the shaiw of a "tr.ule league for South America," which will be under the direction of Dr. Dernburg.

South America would be the natural point of invasion for two reasons. For many years previous t. the outbreak of the war, German methods had secured South and Central America a stronger footing than any other nation had succeeded in paining. German commerce would be warmly welcomed l-ack. The other reason why Germany seeks South America fiist is that she will have been, by the practically excluded from the eastern v.orl.L The hatred engendered by the war, for a feneration to come, wil the flow of commerce between Germany and her neighbors among the allies.

If her commercial deevlopment, which had attained such momentum, is to be resumed and i strain to reach such a rapidly increasing movement us the war arrested, the field of activity must be on th western continent and in a part of it that is, its- If. susceptible of great development. In the meantime in almost a year and a half, the Uriled States bas taicen no steps toward the permanent occupation of a rich, but deserted, field. The government printing office and various large commercial bodie have turned out tons of Mterature on this sjbject of South American trade. Meetings lave b-fn held all over the country, where representatives rif trade shake hands with one another a 71 congratulate themselves upon the opportunity which nr.

been opened to them, but of which none them are availing themselves. They tell one how- the Germans did it, but none of them re emulating the Germans. They are pursuing the lame old American, slipshod way. Naturally our South American trade has because South America could no longer tjy Germany. Its purchases from the allied countiies are also restricted.

This trade has, therefore, fallen to the United States, 'but we cannot hold unless we conform to the methods and ways of South America. If the place of business of our fa-orite groceryman, one who had attracted our trade by some pleasing peculiarity of method, should burn iown. we would, perforce, trade elsewhere until he ov.dd re-establish himself, and then we would go I'irk to him. The Interest of Non-Taxpayers asionally, when some public spirited citizen Inaugurates or takes an active part in a movement kieh he believes is for the betterment of conditions in the community in which be lives, some KKsahaek or some opponent of the movement inquires impertinently whether he is a taxpayer. A man may be a good citizen without being a tax-iMyer or a property owner, and a tax payer or a pnierty owner may be a bad and unprogresslve citizen.

But the interest of the former in his community may be as intense as that of the best and uiost progressive proierty owner. There is some thing in every community, as in the world, that is more than dollars and cents. It is well that some property qualification should be required in voting propositions to issue bonds for public improvements, for such created indebtedness falls upon the owners of property. Otherwise, persons who have neither property nor good citizenship, with malice rather than with a genuine desire to benefit the community, would nane use of Their suffrages for the mere purpose of penalizing other citizens for being property owners. But it is not true, as many suppose, that those who are not property owners are free from the burdens created by bond issues.

The burden is often shifted upon them in the shape of increased rent or other charges. Now and then the whole burden of the property owner is so shifted. There was a time in this country when the doctrine prevailed that non-taxpayers had no rights in the results of taxation; when every man was expected to pay for what he received. There were no common schools then. The children of the poor grew up in ignorance.

When the common school system was proposed it mas met by the objection that the thrifty should not be made to pay for the education of the children of the shiftless. Hut wiser men, not necessarily philanthropic, saw that by a system of genera' education the community would be benefitted; that a large population held in enforced ignorance would be a menace to the nation. The benefit of the common school system to the children of the poor would be purely incidental. Hence the common school system, and now, we suppose, more money is spent on our common schools than for any other public purpose. All this leads us back to the truth that in a democratic form of government and in every com-' m-inity, what is good for one must be beneficial to all.

We understand that Represer.tat;ve Kitchin is still opposed to the wasting of good American money on battleships. He had rather it would be employed in making the stagnant ponds of his native state navigable and in the erection of federal buildings at every crossroads in his congressional district. There are a good many men in congress of Representative Kitchen's mind If there are enough of them and they pool their issues we will have another and a bigger pork 'barrel with which to be prepared for war. The Southern Pacific and the El Paso Southwestern are not awake to their own interests or they would be running excursions to the Agua Prieta battle. What those roads each need is a more alert general passenger agency.

It is well to let citizens of Arizona know that they are not only imperiling their immortal souls but are running risk of sustaining great physical damage by patronizing bootleggers. A bottle of Gallup (X. whisky exploded the other day and started a' disastrous fire. We hope that the American commander at Douglas will move circumspectly and not provoke General Villa to the carrying out of his threat to lick tne I'nited States. THREE WALLS (Grand Rapids.

Herald) Galveston built a wall against its deadliest en-fmy the sea. Galveston did not know whether the sen would come again upon a mission of invasion. Rut Galveston sought to be prepared. The sea did come. The wall stood.

And Galveston is saved from a disaster that would have been exterminating in its scope and effect. Let the nation take two lessons from Galveston's experience. Let it build a wall for defense against any enemy which may ever invade our sovereign rights as a free people a wall of "preparedness" for the foe which we hope may never challenge our prowess, yet the foe which we cannot meet with essays and altruism if our hopes prove vain. Then, if the foe does come, the wall will nerve it: terribly important purpose. The Galveston wall was a defensive wall only.

So long aa it was not attacked, it was as peaceful and inconsequential as a Bryan dream. Such a "wall" is our need for national preparedness a defense wall only. And we are as sadly blinded by folly so long as we do not build this wall as Galveston woud have been had it waited for the sea with naught save Chautauqua phi'osophy for a shield. Then let the nation build another wall another lesson from Galveston's experiences. Let It build a wall of "tariff protection" again for purposes of vital necessary defense.

If the people of Galveston had broken down their tide wall on the pretty theory that the could not possibly harm them again they would have done exactly what the democracy did when it tore away the national wall of tariff protection a fe wmonths ago on the theory that cheap foreign competition cannot possibly harm industry and American capital and American labor again. Galveston knew what the sea had done before its wall was built. The democracy and the country knew what "free trade" had done the last time the wall of "tariff protection" was dynamited. If Galveston had said, "Oh. it'll never happen again." it would have used the same arguments that -democracy used in attempted justification of the Wilson-Uidcrwood bill.

And Galveston would have been wiped off the maj. American industry without a tariff wall Is in the same precarious predicament in which Galveston would have been withhout a sea wall. The moral is obvious. Chicago Tribune. DOG SAVED GIRL FROM MAN The last seen of Jeff, a persistent and tenacious fox terrier, he was traveling through space at high speed, his jaws firmly locked on the trousers of a man.

Jeff has been the particular pet of Helen Riley. 13 years old, of Kearny, N. J. While Helen and her chum, Harriot Brookes, were standing at the gate of the Riley home a man approached them and seized Harriet. He said she was so pretty he just wished to hug her.

but Jeff, who was with the girls, objected and attacked the stranger. As the man started to run Jeff sprang and his teeth caught in the seat of the man's trousers. The terrier took such a good hold and held on so tightly that when the man gained speed Jeff was dangling out behind him. Jeff was still holding on when the stranger turned a corner and disappeared. The girls have asked the police to find their brave defender.

New York Herald. (By Remlik) A Frenchman, A Buss, A Serb and a Teuton Right fresh from the field-Where their people are sheuton. Met in Phoenix one da. And the newspapers say: That they didn't start fightin' Nor to even dispeuton'. Of course it might be That these four foreign bloax Were springing upon us Some sort of a hoax; Yet, if they're playing strait.

They ought not to wait; But hustle back home And go helping their foax. For they certainly need all the help they can get. The only warring nation, that has really accomplished thinES, is Germany and she is still accomplishing. She has put Belgium, Serbia, Russia (nearly) and Austria-Hungary almost off the map; but certainly out of busi ness for the next hundred years. I say Austria and Hungary have fallen into Germany's hands true, it was not as an enemy it was worse, was as that of a helpless, penniless, worn out ally.

Austria and her ruler are as much a rart of Germany as is Prussia and will exist, as a separate nation, hereafter, merely as a matter of form. Serbia and Belgium will come into their own again; but it takes a very deep and learned mind to comprehend the manner in which ANY ally of Germany may ever expject to "come back." Turkey (should peace lie declared now) is a part and parcel of the German empire as much as Austria is. Bulgaria, is a mercenary in this war and her soul and body ha been purchased by Germany. Mariy think that the world might be bettered if Turkey should come under German (or perhaps any other) domination That she could not be made WORSE and MIGHT be made better. France, England and Russia are fighting the fight alone Italy being in the war for acquisition, and up to now not having cut any great or important figure though she may prove "useful" to the British allies yet.

The British and French have erred in permitting the overthrow of Serbia and they COULD have prevented it. They are not ready to take the Turkish capita! they do not WANT Constantinople though they are in a position to take it. great military men have recently stated. Russia has been given an opportunity hy the Germans, to come back aivT it is believed by many army men thai she il! emerge, a victor. France is the cleanest, freest nation in the fighting is now and lias been from the very start in this war and will be so recorded in history.

Japan is not active in the war, except as a commisary and furnisher of war munitions to certain of the allies' Japan, however, is in a state of preparedness. It is not easy to predict what would happen if China goes back to mon-archial government civil, war in China of course, and at a time when England and Japan cannot spare time to divide her up England being engaged and Japan. VERY BUSY in the task of watchful waiting for the psychological moment. Notwithstanding all this, the war will he over and settled except financial obligations which will be worked out and settled during the next centuries by January first, 1916. And THEN here they'll come, they'll HAVE to come, they wont be able to pay the taxes, there.

When they come, as "they surely must, unless some law prevents, is when OCR war will commence. Industrial war, perhaps: but war notwithstanding. We have got a merchants and manufacturers war coming on also. We must reprovision, reclothe, renew, and rebuild Mexico and Europe. That is the task that is cut out for this country and all wc will have to do is work, and THINK, anil take in the reward.

If we forget to THINK, our prosperity in the new role of providing for the whole world may not endure. If we DO think and think RIGHT we shall permanently dominate and control the rest of the world in a commercial way, as well as in many other ways. Long may she wave. THE VERDICT OVER DEATH MR. Coroner's Jury Finds Postmaster Died as Result of Heart Failure Induced by.

Shock of Explosion of Lamp in Room. VILLA CONFISCATES MUCH LIVESTOCK Havn't seen any thing in the papers to the effect that President Carranza is at, or nearing, Agua Prieta at this time -but then, when a man has competent generals; what's the use and besides, there's the Archives and things. It wouldn't do to take THEM to A. P. and if a fellow went there he'd take a chance on losin' 'em and maybe the great seal too and that wouldn't do because the G.

Leased Wire LONDON, Nov. 2. The bombard ment of Varna did much damage, especially in the Armenian and Greek quarters of the town, according to Bucharest despatches to Lon don morning papers. The Military club, Marine arsenal. National bank and English cotton factory were damaged or destroyed, while the barracks outside the town and the naval docks were damaged.

King Ferdinand's chauteau of Ruxinograd had one wing destroyed and the ancient monastery in the grounds where the king and queen reside in preference to the palace, was also demolished. That Postmaster C. B. Wood was burned to death at his country home five miles north of the city Sunday night, and that his helplessness to escape from the flames, spreading from an exploding lamp was caused by heart failure was the yerdlct of a jury before Acting Coroner Parker yesterday morning. The story brought out was in the main, the same as The Republican's relation of the tragedy.

The charred body of Mr. Wood was not found in the room where the lamp exploded but it was in the ad jacent room to which he had struggled and crawled before he was overcome by the heat and smoke. It was also brought out that C. L. Madison after rescuing his own help less son from an adjacent room be lieved that Mr.

Wood had escaped from the building. After attending the ceremony of laying the cornerstone of Trinity cathedral house on Sunday afternoon, Mri Wood, accompanied by Mrs. Wood drove out to their ranch house where Mr. Wood had retained a room which he used as an office and where he kept many personal papers. This was a trip made almost every Sunday afternoon.

Arriving at the ranch, Mrs. Wood stopped at the house of a neighbor across the street and her husband entered his office and began an examination of his papers. He worked until it wa.i so dark that he could not see, when he called for a light. A lamp was filled uy air. wno tnen lett tne nouse ano started towards tne Darn.

Before he reached it he heard the sounds of the explosion and a cry from Mr. Wood. He hurried back to the house and to the room occupied by his eon. Mrs. Wood ran across the street to the burning house and inquired for her husband.

Mr. Madison said he believed that he had left the building. he could not be found and after a few minutes, dread that he had not done so merged into despair when an unshapely mass was seen in one of the burning rooms. It was well known that Mr Wood suffered from a weak heart and knowledge of that fact led the jury to the verdict that was returned. About a year ago, while secretary of the state fair commission, he collapsed on the fair grounds, the result of anxiety and overwork and he was taken to hits home where for a time his life was despaired of.

His condition 'was serious for several days. It was also made known that ever since then Mr. Wood had been in fear of a recurrence of heart failure and his affairs were so arranged that in the event of his sudden removal, they would not be attended by complications. The only member of the family present at the inquest was the eighteen year old son of the dead postmaster. He left as soon as he had given hie testimony.

At the Postoffice The deepest sorrow was felt by-postal employes over the news of Mr. Wood's death. An air of gloom was marked among the workers of the Federal building, who had been in more or less else touch with the postmaster. Postal Inspectors Dutton and Jar-vis were in the city yesterday, and their concern over the tragedy was Tiost strong. Until a successor qualifies, the work of the office will be superintended by C.

H. Stewart, act ing assistant. The department is abolishing the office of assistant postmaster, leaving the work in the hands of an official to be known as "clerk in charge." Mr. Stewart has occupied that position since the resignation of Assistant Ernest Anderson some months ago. Public conjecture about a successor turned toward Frank Luke, chairman of the board of supervisors, and A.

Guy Alsap, cashier of the National Bank of Arizona, but no official attention has yet been paid to this subject. PRINT FICTIOUS MONEY Republican A. P. Leased Wire EL PASO, Teas, Nov. 1.

The State Board of Health today placed a eiuarantine on all dogs in Modoc county, due to the numerous cases reported from that county of rabid coyotes running at large. The quarantine was ordered by telegraph and is now in full force. The State Board of Health has delayed quarantining Modoc county until a few days ago. as none of the rabid coyotes had crossed the state line, although many cases were reported from the Oregon side. The California authorities had hoped that with the approach of fall the epidemic would be checked.

The quarantine means that all dogs must be kept confined or wear muzzles. It will be strictly enforced until such time as rabies' have ceased to menace that section of the state. ange Book reveals inexplicabble blindness to the actual facts.

SAGE AND SULPHUR DARKENS GRAY HAIR Brush this through faded, lifeless locks and they become dark, glossy, youthful.

Hair that loses its color and lusr.re, or when it fades, turns gray, dull and lifeless, is caused by a lack of sulphur in the hair. Our grandmother made up a mixture of Sage Tea and Sulphur to keep her locks dark and beautiful, and thousands of women and men who value that even color, that beautiful dark shade of hair which is so attractive, use only this old-time recipe. Nowadays we get this famous mixture by asking at any drug store for a 50 cent bottle of "Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur which darkens the hair so naturally, so evenly, that nobody can possibly tell it has been applied. Besides, it takes off dandruff, stops scalp itching and falling hair. You just dampen a sponge or soft brush with it and draw this through your hair, taking one small strand at a time.

By morning the gray hair disappears; but what delights the ladies with Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur is that, besides beautifully darkening the hair after a few applications, it also brings back the gloss and lustre and gives it an ap-oearance of abundance.
