They Lack Life

There are twines sold to fishermen
on the Columbia river that stand in
the same relationship to Marshall's
Twine as wooden image does to the
human being-they lack strength-life
--evenness-and lasting qualities. Don't
fool yourself into the belief that other
twines besides Marshall's will do 'just
as we'll" They won't. They cannot.

orately decorated; low bank OF green
and callas extend ed in front of the foot
lights, on either side of the proscenium
was "a Towering yucca plant, and masses
of roses and other bright flowers made q
brilliant foreground. while the setting, a
wood scene was an effective background.

programme not so ambitious but that the

NOT DEPENDING ON SILVER

Arizona mountains are teeming with
gold as well as silver. therefore Arizona is
prepared for any emergency in the finan.
cial line. If we should go to "a gold standard
we conld do our part in supplying the
demand, and with free silver coinage we
would be right there with both feet

This is the right kind of talk. And it
N light be said that if we discarded both
metals for monetary purposes, Arizona
would still be in the game with the big
gest OF the states and territories A terri
tory endowed with the immense area OF
land so well adapted, with proper irri-
CATION facilities, to the production of the
best and most profitable decduous and
citrus fruits, need not rest her hopes OF
prosperity upon any two metals. The last
few years has witnessed some magnificent
improvements in Arizona, and it will be
but short time until the predictions of
those who have pinned their faith to the
territory as great fruit and cereal pro-
ducer will be verified.

TUESDAY, MAY rs, 1905
SECRETARY GREShAn

Hon. Walter Q. Gresham, secretary of
the department of state. passed into
the mysterious life beyond al / :15 O. clock
this morning. In the demise OF the
secretary the country loses statesman
whose modest demeanor and unostenta-
tious character prevented an accurate
popular conception of his real greatness.
Practically his entire life was given to the
service of his country, rendered in var
ious walks, in all of which he distin-
guished himself to an exceptional degree.
1t can truthtully be said OF him that he
was man of remarkable versatile accom-
plishments, for his ability and talents
were tested in fields of action calling for
widely diversified characteristics and
each of the highest order. AS soldier,
jurist. and executive and diplomat he
exhibited the purity of purpose, Ghe spirit
of patriotism. the strength of will and
the breadth of intelligence that justify
lasting renown. The absolute honesty of
motive that seemed to govern his whole
career was best illustrated in the cam
paign of 1892, when, in the face of the
protests of influential friends be severed
the political ties of more than a quarter
of century because he became consci-
entiously convinced that he could no lon
ger follow the fortunes of the Republican
party. Like thousands of other men of
independence and sincerity. he concluded
that the place for man who had ceased
to believe in the correctness of the prnci-
pies and policies OF his party WAS outside
OF that organization, and with the frank
ness and simplicity that characterized his
whole life he announced his dissent and
lent his influence and vote to the poiti-
cal party that more nearly represented
his views on the dominant issues of the
day. Secretary Gresham was not a brilliant
man in the sense of doing things that
dazzled the superficial and thoughtless,
like SO many who nave, unfoltun nately
for the country, crept into prominence.
Neither did he keep his ear to the earth
listening for the groundswells of popular
favor. He belonged to the type thai this.
union needs to cultivate. He was honese
and safe in Office and Independent in per-
sonality. The object toward which he
ever directed his efforts in all the varied
and irving activities of his life was the
one that no public man desiring to
achieve the title of statesman can afford
to lose sight of-Right. His last years
found him in the most trying official posi-.
ton that he had ever filled. No secretary
since Seward has been beset with SO
many intricate and delicate problems of
state. He met them all with the dignity,
calmness and spirit of equity that belongs
to the ideal secretary. and although carp
ing critics and bigoted partisans mIsinter-
preted and misrepresented his motives. and
ignorantly and unjusty condemned his
work, we believe that the honor. the in
tclligencs and the genuine patriotism of
the country have been with him. History
will vindicate his wisdom and Justify his
policies.

ORANGE FREIGHT RATES SHOULD BE
REDUCED

1t is said that there are about 1900 car
loads OF oranges remaining in Southern
California to be shipped, and in the
present condition of the market the re-
suits of sales are small. Mr.. Graves, the
well-known attorney, received net re-
turn of $27.05 from one carload he re-
Gently shipped, and others have dome
even worse. Judge Ross has perhaps 1900
boxes yet on the trees. and at present
freight rates it is said he cannot afford to
ship them.
The railroad companies charge high
enough rates, and in addition shippers
have to pay something like $15 car for
ice during warm weather, the whole ex-
pense being out of proportion to the rates
charged on other articles to Missouri
river points. 1t would seem that it
would be only fair on the part of
the transportation companies to at
least temporarily reduce their charges
They should take into consideration the
fact that our orange growers have had to
compete with foreign fruit and the cheap
water freight rates from Europe to the
Atlantic seaboard. This imported fruit
is now selling cheaper in the east than
the actual cost of putting California fruit
into the same markets.
There is only one remedy, and that the
people have right to expect from the
railway com paniesa prompt reduction OF
rates; otherwise orange growers m ust ia ce
q heavy loss-one which in some instan-
ces may mean ruin.
f!ie companies,it is said, object to a
lowering of rates for fear of setting a
precedent; but it is condition, not q
precedent, they should take into consid-

What Our Lands Justify

The Los Angeles Herald tells about an
Irrigation ditch little outside of Los
Angeles that is to he twenty miles long,
twelve feet wide at the bottom at the
headgate. and four feet oecp, have II ca
pacity of 5000 inches, and the ditch is to
be cemented the entire length, which the
engineers estimate will make saving of
nearly 400 inches of water. That shows
that the matter of expense in building
bitches and reservoirs is OF secondary i'm
portance to those men in Southern Cali
forna. What they want is water, and
they do not seem to care very much how
much it costs. 1t is natural, too, be-
cause the returns from their lands will
justify enormous expenditures. - Salt

OUR FRUIT ESTABLISHED

anges. it is believed. will always hereaf-
ter be sure of holding their own in COM
petition with other fruit. AS we have
remarked before, the permanence of the
hold Obtained this year by California
fruit will depend largely on the quality
shipped and the honesty OF Its label.
With the adoption of the exchange system
of handling fruit these essential matters
can be more carefully guarded than here
tofore. Let us send good fruit, p roperly

An appalling increase in murders is

the statistics make it still more d eadiul.
In 1892 and 1898 the figures stood substan-
TALLY the same: put from 679l, the latter
year, the terrible total of $500 was reached
in the whole country for 1894. This has
set all the advocates of the death penalty
al work to try TO show that the increase
OF murder is due to the decrease of exc

offers sufficient explanation of the
