THE Arizona Press Association will

The Arizona Press Association will
meet in Phoenix on February 7th. A
Phoenix newspaper says "that the ses-
sion will last ten days and much good
work will be done for the cause" 1t
is understood by newspaper men out
side of the association that the print
ing bill passed by the last Legislature
was some of the ''good work" done by
the press association. However it is
sincerely hoped that the members in
attendance will do something to make
the association more than name, as
good deal can be accomplished
through good active and united press
fraternity.

first blow hot and then blow cold. One
day it is war, and the next it is peace.
The Navy Department, however, con-

Congress on the Chilian affair this

THOSE who plead that Chilli should
not be held to just accountability for
the wanton murder of American sea-
men, because Chilli is too small a foe
for the United States to notice, would
under other circumstances refuse to
maintain the national honor against a
foreign power of the first class, on the
ground that this nation was too weak.

THERE are great many subscribers
to The CoCoNINo Sun who take the
paper, and pay for it, who often ex.
press the wish that they could aid the
SUN to greater extent. They can
aid the Sun in most substantial
manner, without costing them one
cent, by trading with the merchants
who advertise in our columns and at
the same time tell the advertiser why
YOU trade with him. There is no
doubt that the merchants who adver-
tise are the liberal ones and the ones
who know where to buy, and they have
the enterprise to sell you goods at fair
prices. You can not afford to trade

for the American Bible society for ten
years, and at the date of the society's
last report had given away few over
1000, 600 Bibles.
This is remarkable work, but much
more surprising is the fact that these
Bibles are well printed on good paper,
with large, clear type, and handsomely
bound, that they are in twenty languages
and dialects, and yet the average net
cost of their production is but forty-five
cents each Adding all the expenses of
storage and distribution, and still the
cost is below sixty cents. OF the million
Bibles given away by Mr.. jackson the
society records show the largest number
to have been in German. Within the
year lately closed the record showed 49,
$3.50 in that tongue. The Swedish stood
next with 1922, and then came the
Danish with 6, 946, English 8,212, and so
on down to 145 in Welsh, 1875 in Dutch,
in Polish, in Portuguese and l in
Hungarian.
1t is evident that these numbers do
not correspond with the number of i'm
migrants from each nation, for the
Dutch, Welsh and most of the Eng
lish had Bibles of their own or de-
clined to receive any as gifts, while
many Italians and east European
folks could not read. OF those able to
read the highest average is among the
Germans and the lowest among the
Italians. Next to the Germans are the
Scandinavians and next to them the
people of Great Britain of all races,
Many of those who received Bibles years
ago have since written to Mr.. Jackson
testifying to personal benefit gained
from reading the book.

MRS, HARRISON.

From her latest photograph
One fact strikes the inquirer at the
outset-it is very difficult to find a time
when there were not more presidents
wives living than ex-presidents, and this
despite the fact that six presidents were
widowers when they took Office and two
were bachelors, one of whom, James
Buchanan, remained a bachelor to the
last Indeed some of the widows surs
vived to see generation to whom their
husbands were only historic characters.
and Mrs. Sarah Childress Polk outlived
all the eight presidents who followed
her husband in succession, except X. B.
Hayes, and of his successors she out
lived two. Including her husband, ten
presidents after she left the White
House preceded her to the tomb.
OF her successors it might be pre-
dicted Of it were lawful TO guess at the
lives of those we love- that Mrs. Lucretia
Rudolph Garfield would most nearly re-
peat her experiences, for she is but sixty
years old, of a family with marked
tenacity of life.
Mrs. Julia Dent Grant was born in
st. Louis Jan. 20, 1926, and was married
Aug. %, 1948. OF all our presidents
wives she has probably been most
fortunate. She saw her husband rise
from captaincy to command the great
est army in the world; saw him twice
inaugurated as president; was mistress
Of the White House for eight years, and
then accompanied him on tour around
the world, sharing in more ovations and
receiving more honors from monarchs
and dignitaries than any other Ameri-
can woman ever did.
It is the rule that presidents step from
Office into obscurity. General Grant
was the great exception. Instead Of
stepping down he stepped up. His coun-
trymen had disputed bitterly about his
public acts. They rejoiced together at
his reception in the Old World. With
every days report of his progress the en-
thusiasm grew till the papers had much
more TO say about the ex-president than
the man in Office When he reached the
Pacific coast on his return it seemed that
a nation rose to meet him, and as he
journeyed across the continent it was as
though in a continuous triumph-the
day vocal with glad acclaims, the nights
illuminated with all the resources of
pyrotechnics.
Of Mrs. Harrison and Mrs. Cleveland
the reader of current literature is kept
well informed. The serious illness of
the presidents wife could but be mat
ter of general regret at any time. 1t is
a matter of especial regret that it should
occur at such time as this. 1t only
remains to hope for the best, and if pos
sible find melancholy satisfaction in re-
hecting that regardless of party ties the
sympathy of all the nation is hers.

The Condition of France.

A moderate republic may be decried
by clamorous anarchists, but neverthe-
less it has brought wonderful prosper
ity to France within the last twenty
years. Wealth has never developed SO
rapidly as under the present regime,
while people throughout the whole
country are in easier circumstances and
better able to meet heavy taxes. The
cash reserve in the Bank of France has
doubled, the savings banks funds have
increased fourfold, postal business has
grown 140 per cent, double the number
of people travel by rail, to say nothing
of the rise in freight traffic, and both
the output and consumption of coal
show similar proportions. The other
side of the picture is the advance in the
death rate and the decrease of marriages
and births. The latter have fallen
alarmingly in the last decade, while, 10
further diminish the rising generation,
the death rate Of infants under one year
Of age II excessive.

fact that man of that age is honored
as one Of the city's pioneers is a star
ting evidence of Chicago's wonderful
growth.
Mr.. Armstrong was born Nov. 90,
1912, in what was then north suburb
of Chicago. In boyhood he commenced
planning how TO make his fathers real
estate there more valuable, and his first
conclusion was that in his lifetime the
city would grow far beyond that locality
and therefore land should at once be re-
served for park. In the spring of 1853
he was elected a member of the city
council as representative from the Thir-
tenth ward, and as no one objected on
account of his age he entered on his
duties at once and made the park sys-
TEN speciality. AS there was already
a cemetery there to which many re-
mains had been moved from the center
of the city, the papers attacked the prof.
ect with much heat, but the measure
was carried and work was begun the
next year.
Once Lincoln park was fact, and
people found what nice place it was,
South Side and West Side citizens be-
stirred themselves to create parks Of
their own, and so Mr. Armstrong may
be considered the father of the city park
system. All the aldermen who served
with him in 1868 and are still living
were ON the reception committee, and a
fine oil painting of Mr.. Armstrong was
presented to him. He is known to the
present generation as one of the firm of
Armstrong g. Egan, architects.

Republican and Democratic Candidates
for Reelection.
There are two men living who have
been presidents Of the United States
making, with the present incumbent,
three having that honor, and there are
four ladies who have ranked as presi-
dents wives. OF these Mrs. Grant and
Mrs. Garfield are still in excellent health,
and Mrs. Cleveland is not only so, but is
much younger than any ex-president's
wife before her-even the noted Dolly
Madison. The illness of Mrs. Harrison
adds melancholy interest to any sketch
Of the ladies of the White House.

The Mrs. Cleveland who left New York
last November to spend the winter in
Lakewood, N. j., was tall, thin, pale
faced girl.
She always was call, but now she is
big. She has "feshed up" and weighs
perhaps sixty pounds more than she did
when she was in the White House. Her
pretty chin has doubled itself, her face
is round and full, her cheeks are plump
and her complexion has the rich tints Of
perfect health.
