ARIZONA PRESS ON GOV. HUGHES

Arizona Leader Governor Hughes is
liar. He lied to us, therefore we know he
is o liar.
This is sufficient for us to know in
order to enlist us in q common cause
against him.
We have positive assurances that he
lied to others in one of the matters about
which he deliberately lied to us.
We have satisfied ourselves, beyond the
shadow OF doubt. of the truth of the
charges made against him recently by
eX-Attorney General Heney with refer
ence to legislative deal for the printing
appro priation. In this matter he would
do his duty-for consideration.
During the legislative term his en- tire
interest was centered in two bills, one
creating board of control, the other
board OF immigration commissioners.
Members of both houses were told that
unless they voted for the passage of these
measures, bills in which they were vitally
interested would be vetoed. During the
last night of the session he made no
secret OF it. His threats we're open and
loud that if the immigration bill did not
come down to him he would not sign
single bill of any kind then before him.
He made this threat in our presence and
direct to us. Neither one OF his pet
schemes would have passed but for these
threats, and members were compelled to
vote for these vicious measures against
their will, their judgment and in viola
tion of their oaths.
With this knowledge we can no longer
uphold our governor. We are ready to
believe almost anything that may be
charged against him, with or without
proof. He is false and dishonest to the
core.
The Democratic executive committee
can now read him out of the party on the
proof furnished so literally by himself.
Out OF twenty-seven appointments named
by him and confirmed by the council.
three can be called Democrats, two of
these shaky. Is this not proof enough?
1t is plenty for us.
Sometimes we use emphatic swear
words, and as "a rule we do not object to
such use on occasion by others, but when
a man pretends to be w. G. I. IT,, "a Y.
NJ. ASS. and rolls his bleaky eyes heaven
ward as if seeking divine influence to help
and strengthen him in the struggle be-
tween 'inclination and line OF duty, -
smoothly and glibly alludes to fellow
being as cd d--n SON - - why,
yes, we object somewhat.

ample OF the gubernatorial echo from the

the echo.

\ somewhat different case is that OF Mrs.
Elliot Iborowski, formerly the Baroness
de Ste,Ts and originally Miss Cary. niece
OF Ms. William AstUr. Twelve years ago
shs was great belle at Newport and New
York. While touring this country the
Baron de Steurs. Belgian nobeman of
fine, manly qualities. met the lady, fell
in love with her. and their marriage
speedily followed. 1t was regarded as q
love match, and the first years of the
union confirmed this opinion. The hus-
bands fortune was greater than the
wife's, and there was no talk OF Amer
lean gold buying title. Children blessed
the union, and the couple lived seeming
ly happy.
Three years ago a great sensation was
created when it became known that the
de Steurs had separated. The husband
retained the children and the Baroness
went to South Dakota, where she secured
"a divorce on one of the trivial charges per-
mitted in that interesting country The
following day after securing the divorce,
she married Mr. Zbororski. When the
lady's brother, Mr.. Hamilton Astor
Cary, died about two years ago he left
fortune of several millions, which he di-
vided among his relatives, but without
leaving Mrs. IbOrowski Il cent. She was
completely ignored in the will.
When Miss Consuelo NZnaga became the
Duchess of Manchester it was thought to

York friends. She is sister of Fernando
Yznaga. who married Mabel Wright, the
famous beauty. She is now suing him for
divorce. His first wife, who was Miss
Gerry Smith, a sister OF Mrs. VI: X. Van
derbilt and the Marquise lie Fontelleat,
secured divorce from him in California.
The domestic life of the Duchess OF
Manchester was generally believed to be
most unhappy The Duke belonged to
that class OF titled Englishmen who love
to shower favors upoh the queens of the
concert halls and the ballet. The Duchess
is fine woman, who never openly COM
planned and by this she gained the sym
pathy of wide circle of friends.
There are several instances of inter
national marriages OF this type ending
happily, and there are many others not
mentioned which have resulted unfavora-
bly,. Certainly the percentage OF the latter
kind is very large.

FOR HOME PRODUCTS

The chamb Der of commerce calls atten-
ton to the fact that through an oversight
on the part OF some of the city authori-
ties specifications are occasionally drawn
up for city work in such shape rs to pre-
clude the use of home products. in cases
where it is admitted that the home prod
uct is as good as the foreign.
For example, in the matter OF the paw
ing OF Main street from Ninth to Thirty
third, which is to come before the board
of public works tomorrow and before
the council next Monday, the specitica-
tions for the work. which are embodied
in the petition, and which were prepared
at the city hall, call for the use OF Trini-
dad or Alcatraz asphalt, the phrase or
any other which can be shown to be
equally as good. " W hich it is customary
to insert in such cases, having been
omitted. This city is now producing as
fine grade of asphalt as can be found
anywhere in this country for use in tiux-
ing, and it should at least be given an
even chance with others in all work Of
this sort.
1t is not contended that the city
should take any chances or try any
experiments in substantial improve
ments like the paving of streets;
but if, in all specifications for work
of this character. some phrase could
be inserted which would allow local pro
ducers to show by any species of test that
may be required that their product is up
to standard, then the authorities will
have done their share toward helping the
home industries.
A meeting OF manufacturers recent
ly held in San Francisco in an ad-
dress to the people of this state advise
that as far as possible home industries re-
ceive the patronage of home consumers to
the end that they may be placed on a sub
stantal foundation and their prosperity
assist orr own people. This does not
mean that people are to tax themselves to
support their own manufactures, but it
does mean that other things being equal
the home concerns should receive the
first consideration. The board OF public
works is composed OF patriotic, public
spirited citizens, who will undoubtedly
take broad view Of this question.

Los ANGELES THEATER. - The
shapely young woman with the Fauntleroy
wig whose pictures have been adjoining the
blank walls about town for a week or so,
appeared in the flesh last evening with
the rest of the Whitney Opera Company
in De Koven & Smith comic opera, The
Fencing Master.
While the music is not as infectious or
catching as that in Robin Hood, Mr.. De
Koven has displayed much ingenuity in
management of effects. A quintette in
the first act and barcarolle in the second

numbers. The chOruses, which bring
down each curtain, are STIRRING, and sew

Said the humor is dreary, the lines lack
crispness and novelty, and are full of silly
gags; but the scenery is very picturesque
and the effects are carefully produced and
managed.
Miss Dorothy Morton, as Francesca, is
graceful and sings better than she acts.
Her voice has wide range, is flexible,
and she uses it with great ease and artistic
ability; the other ladies in the cast have
but little opportunity in the solo work.

quality, which his solo in the first act

river has since shifted its channel, and
the wreck is buried twenty-five feet under
a sand bar near the banks. Two young
men recently leased the site and have
sunk shaft and reached the deck. They
expect to have chioce lot of old whisky
in few days.

AN OFFICIAL DIRECTORY.

Can the Commissioners publish a city
directory? With the government print
ing office under civil service rules it looks
as if they might.
Once the bulk OF public money went to
the courts; now it goes to streets and
lights. But what is the use of streets
without directions how 10 go from point to
point by them. The answer is the names
and numbers on street lamps. In the
same lire precisely would il not be equally
useful TO furnish more explicit information
by public directories from which business
communication would be greatly facil-
itated Hours of valuable activity now
spent in searching out persons at offices
and homes W ould then be turned to other
usefulness aud the whole people benefited
The directory would then be full, com
plete, accurate. 1t would be possible to
discover from il each citizens residence
business place aud chief occupation. The
issue of a monthly supplement would keep
the information up to date The cost Of
5000 copies would be within SO 900 and
supply a copy free for consultation by
everybody to every drug store, large bust
ness house and public office in the city.
If desirable the book could easily be made
to pay for its own publication. A large
amount Of information from policemen and
letter carriers could be made useful in its
preparation. To both these departments
OF public service this better directory would
be a very great help.
Why not?

Useless NnrRNING

Hot from the cable drops the Intelligence
that the League OFF Patriots, an organization
Of Frencbmen who still evidently hate
Germany because of her success in that
little unpleasantne in 1901,
has decreed that all its members shall wear
a badge of mourning as long as the French
war vessels remain at Kiel, participants
in the ceremonies incident TO the opening
OF he North Sea canal.
A little reflection and ice on the head
would have caused these somber-miBded
gentlemen TO realize that if it is re

playing right into their hands Russia is

could knock down the defenses to the harbor
OF Keil and sail into the canal, while French
batueships might reduce TO dust the for
ifications at the North Sea end, rush
TO meet its Russian consoTts, and, presto,
complete a grand victory.
1t is quite evident that the able members
Of the League Of Patriots have not suf-
ficientIy contemplated this ench anting

BETTER TIMES IN BUSINESS.

Unmistakable indications of better

good times for which we all hope and pray
may not come with rush, but that they
are in the not distant future cannot bs

sumption Of work in many factories which,
on account OF the depression in business
have been idle for more than a year and
the increase Of output facilities in others.
Manufacturers do not manufacture un-
less they have a demand for their product,
nor enlarge their plants except it be to
make them adequate to the amount Of
work called for by the press of orders.
There is. however, an omen surer yet

CIVIL SERVICE REFORM IN THE
DISTRICT.

Civil service reform as an adjunct to, or,
more strictly speaking, a factor in the
District government, has come to stay,
although the President has not yet made
81 Official pronunciamento touching the
mstter. Sooner OF later, no doubt, the
District offices viii be embraced in the
classified service, but whether they are
or not the Commissioners are determined
that the just and fair and common-sense
principles Of the merit system shall rule
IN making appointments at their dis
posal They are highly TO be commended
for tLis, and the taxpayers and residents
OF the District viii reap the benefit
Heretofore the offices of the District
government have been regarded as the
prey, legitimate or otherwise, Of every
member Of Congress who was unable to
provide for tbs office-seeking constituents
places in any of the executive departments
or their aHneXes. In many instances they
have succeeded in securing appointments
By promising support ofproposed Legislation
for the District; in others by cajOlmg, bull
DOING, or other means. The fitness Of their
rrotegcs for the work to be done was sec
oBdaTy cons Iteration.
Thus il has come to pass that the selection
OF men for the places under the District
government depended upon pull and not
upon merit. OF course, there must have
been in some cases a conjunction OF these
two elements, but the pull" was at all
times the stronger. The new departure
inaHgurated/ by the Commissioners Will
strengthen them in every way. Once they
lay down the rule that no man shall be
appointed TO office by them until his quail
fications have been ascertafned by proper
competitive examination, and that his Sc
lection VIII depend upon his fitness thus
determined, they will not only secure the
most desirable material, but their hands
viii be free in another direction, in that
they can point the place-hunting Congress-
man TO the established order OF things.
Il may not be improper TO suggest that
bona fide residents OF the District ought
20 have the preference over persons in no
wise identified with the interests Of the
city. That also is in the line OF civil
service re form
