The postoffice department has
recently issued an order permitting
money order offices to issue money
orders payable at the offices which
issued them. This has been done
because in large cities the express
companies are taking the money
order business which heretofore
largely went to the postofiice. For
instance, in large cities like New
York an express company would
issue a money order payable in the
city or out of town, as the customer
might desire. The postoffice only
issued money orders payable out
side of the Office issuing them. Peo.
pie got in the habit of going to the
express companies, where they
could buy either in or out of town
orders and the express companies
were getting all the business. 1t
was to get the business back that
the postoffice issued the recent or

Kingman is now one of the most
active towns on the Santa Fe Pa
cific railroad. Fine brick business
houses are going up on the business
streets of the town, residences are
going up on every hand and busi-
ness and bustla is the order. A
new road over the mountain to the
up country mines has just been
completed. The town is becoming
headquarters for mining operators
and as soon as several of the big
business houses are completed We
expect to see a bank and other con-
Germs of like nature established

Arizona should and must have an
outlet on the Gulf of California.
The annexation of a portion of So
nora, Mexico, will give us the much
coveted outlet. A road connecting
us with the gulf, which would be
built just as soon as the western
part of Sonora was annexed, would
give us access to the Nicaragua
Canal with consequent cheap
freights from the east. The gulf
country east of Port Isabel would
be the most delightful winter resort
IN the world and within a short
time a city would spring up there
that would rival San Francisco.

We cannot see how the silver
cause can be benefited by silver men
jobbing each other for a few little
county offices. If we could take
the amount of money that is sure
to be spent in the different counties
of Arizona and send it to the doubt
full congressional districts of the
country we could accomplish a
world Of good This petty fighting
is what hurts the great causes of
the people in this free land of ours.
We are as good silver advocate
today as any man in the United
States, but we do not believe the
silver men are confined to any one
party. In Nevada the silver men
get along under the head of the
silver party and the democratic
and populist demand for recogni-
ton as the only simon pure silver
party doesn't cause ripple on the
political waters of the state.

From what we learn from people
in the outlying towns Of Mohave
county the fight between Brodie
and Wilson for delegate to con-
gress will be a close one. Wilson
while here aroused no enthusiasm,
while if Brodie strikes a popular
chord he will have things his own
way. Our people are heart and
soul f,r silver and if Brodie gives
them assurance that he stands pat
on the proposition he can get their
votes. We want statehood at any
cost, even if we have to steal it.

The Prescott Courier and the

words over the legalizing of the P.

in the matter the people of Arizona

the road so badly that the people
of that town were willing to bond
their immortal souls to get it and
after they got it they were like a

Col. Roosevelt is credited with
having given utterance to this
sermon of wisdom in this short SEN
tence: "We need fearless criticism
of our public men and public par
ties; we need unsparing condem ma
ton of all persons and all princi-
pies that count for evil in our pub
lie life, but it behooves every man
to remember that the work of the
critic, important though it is, is of
secondary Importance, and that in
the end, progress is accomplished
by the man who does things, and
not by the man who talks about
how they ought or ought not to be
done"

Warner Miller, of New York,
who was at the head of the late
Nicaragua Canal Company, in an

is right, as the building of this

There was a long delay in the be-
ginning of trials on the calendar of the
prosecution agent of the Society for the
Prevention OF Cruelty to Animals in

This was due to the absence of a couple
of defendants. The case OF the agent
against Thaddeus Pryor. who is ac-
cused of handling and encouraging
dogs at a dog fight In an East Provi-
dence basement, was opened to the
jury. but owing to the absence of Judge
Bliss OF the East Providence District
Court, by whom the prosecution de-
sired 40 prove that Pryor pleaded guilty
in the District Court, went over until
tomorrow.

to have been deeply interested took
