A STEAM ROLLER NEEDED.

We respectfully direct the attention
 of the supervisors of Maricopa county
 to the need of a steam roller for en- ployment on the county roads. Such
 a machine would cost between $3,OOO and s4,000. It would pay for itself in
 a year at the most With a steam roller a road could be properly made at the outset A well constructed road costs surprisingly little to keep in re- pair Take the Yuma and Tempe roads. These roads have recent ly been graveled at heavy ex- pense The Yuma road already is badly cut up and a heavy rain will serve to make it worse. If after the gravel had been applied the road had been thoroughly wet down and then rolled it would now present an even surface and could be kept in repair at the cost of sprinkling and rolling
 The Tempe road is by no means a model. Gravel has been deposited on the crown and travel has taken to the north and south sides. The gravel : will not be resorted to until there is a rain and the sideways become muddy Then you will see deep ruts in the gravel and these will remain to vex the souls of teamsters and pleasure drivers. The road should be smoothed again and then watered and rolled The result of such treatment wou' ( | please everybody who is obliged tf use the Tempe road. In many eastern communities the steam road roller has
 come to be regarded as a necessity
 It makes good roads at small cost We hope the supervisors will take up this
 question. It will repay investigation

A Chicago man is suing two doctors for $25,OOO damages, charging them with malpractice. One leg is now shorter than the other, says the plain tiff. It seems that the defendants pulled the wrong leg.

WHO SAYS INDEMNITY?

One point appears to have been overlooked by those who say the Cu- ban question must be settled without recourse to arms. According to the testimony taken by the court of ln- quiry in the case of the Maine. the battleship was conducted to a buoy by a government pilot. Previously the Spanish authorities at Havana had been appraised of the Maine's coming. The pilot took the ship to the buoy specified by the harbor master. A submarine mine or torpedo such as was employed in blowing up the Maine could not have been placed in position after the Maine came to anchor with out the knowledge of her officers. We have the word of Captain Sigsbee that unusual precautions were taken to guard the Maine. All beats approach ing the ship were hailed. There were watchful eyes fore and aft and on the bridge of the Maine all the time she lay at the buoy. The mine must have been in position before the Maine ar rived. The fact that there was mine at this particular buoy must have been known to the authorities. Submarine mines are planted to destroy. They are no more dangerous than oysters unless connected by electric wire with the shore, with human finger to re- lease the electric current. The Maine was blown up by a mine unquestion- ably placed in the harbOr by order of the Spanish gov ernment. The fact that the Maine rode at her moorings day after day with that mine in close proximity must have been known to the authori- ties. The question whose finger pressed the button that released the destructive agent cuts no figure. The means of destruction were supplied by the Spanish government. In the face of this palpable fact who can talk about an indemnity? Who can discuss dollars and cents in the same breath with the tragic fate of the Maine's brave boys?

ership of the waterworks, lighting plants and street railways, while the democrats will go quite as far. Public ownership of electric lighting and garbage plants is also to be an issue in the coming Milwaukee city election.
 The Springfield Republican thinks the president of the United States and the London Daily News prays that, in case the United States engages in another war, the English government may not repeat any of it's historic mistakes" it Hooks as though John Bull were prepared to jump down this time on the right side of the fence."
 Utah's eight-hour law, which applies only to work in mines and in smelting and refining, has been upheld by the United States supreme court. It is construed to be a case of using the states police power to regulate occu- pations where the state has the au- thority to legislate for the protection of the employees life No opinion is expressed as to the validity of eight hour laws in general.
 The difference between Uncle Sam and some other folks is that when they want to go to war they have to hurry and scurry all over Europe to borrow $4O,OO0,O00, only to find that nobody will lend without better secur- ity than they can offer: while Uncle Sam. when he does not go to war, but wants to get good and ready in case he should have to, can find s50,0O0,OOO for the purpose just by showing his right hand into his trousers pocket.
 Statistics show that the people of Great Britian consume $19 worth of liquor per head in the course of a year. This includes both beer and spirits and indicates mighty thirst. Of course the consumption per head of the adults, men and women, who really do the drinking, is probably double the general average. By comparison the people of our own country must be reckoned as very temperance.

PASSING COMMENT.

The other day we heard a flip young man declaring that if a man wanted to get ahead in this country he had to be a rascal. There is probably a good deal Of that idea floating around, but you will make the mistake of your life if you fall in with it.
 Business is a matter of confidence, and it is getting to be more and more a matter of confidence as civilization advances. If you could run back along the line of your ancestors few hundred years you might find time when there wasn't much confidence and not much business. If your an cestor was a chief, his idea of com bining business with pleasure was to gather his tribe around him and go out to do up some of the neighbor tribes and take what they had. That was a question of clubs and spears and muscle, but now all the great busine ss transactions of the world are matters of confidence. Every draft that goes through a clearing house is an evi- dence of confidence in the bank that drew it. Ninety-nine per cent of all the business of the country is done by checks and drafts, which means that in ninety-fve cases out of a hundred people, in doing business, have to trust to other peoples good faith and integrity. The only way in which a rascal can do business is by playing that he is honest, and when his fellow men find out that he is a fraud, as they will do by and by, he is out of the game.
 How many men have you ever known to succeed who deliberately started out to be gamblers and thieves
 Twelve or fourteen years ago the ] Santa Fe got a few conductors on the road who seemed to have entered into a sort of conspiracy to rob the road As far as they were able they stole ii blind. The management of the road i finally caught and let the conductors out. Some of them had wadded away comfortable fortunes. We happened ! to know one of the lot and he was probably as smooth a thief as there was in the outfit We have seen ii stated that twelve of the lot were l worth over twenty-five thousand apiece i when they lost their jobs.
 ] These men were never prosecuted ol 1 sent to the penitentiary as justice de. 1 handed. They were just let out ot their jobs. They had gotten off easy and were regarded. we suppose, by z i good many young fellows, as smooth and fortunate gentlemen. Still, the i business world knew that they were z pack of thieves and wouldn't trus1 them. They had destroyed confidence
 which is necessary to success. They probably wondered why they didn'
 succeed with all their stolen cash. Bu
 after all the reason was plain enough Business men don't trust a thief ii i they know he is a thief.
 The conductor we knew dropped ou
 early. He tried to run a hotel, lost the money he had stolen and diet from a bullet sent crashing through his brain by his jealous mistress Two of the twelve have died in wretchet poverty, two have managed to hold on to little, just little. and the res1 are down to bed rock with no prospec ahead. It doesn't pay in the long TUT l to be a thief-Topeka Mail

If the Maine had been a British Warship the Spaniards would not now be sending a torpedo fotilla to Ha- vana- The Cuban question would not say this in a spirit of captious criticism, but merely to illustrate the difference in the methods of the Brit lsh government and our own. We prefer the British way of averaging a wrong.

The nonsense about the study of fic- tion seems to have reached its lowest depth in the production of textbook on the subject for schools. The inten- tion of the author is to instruct boys and girls in distinguishing between plot and story, in making up plots for themselves, in analyzing incidents, in changing the commonplace to the dra- matic. It is bad enough to have half educated adults writing novels with out setting children at work on the same dismal task.

Suppose we were going to war with France or Great Britain and were as little prepared as now on land or sea!

About one month ago my child
which is fifteen months old, had an at
tack of diarrhoea accompanied by vom.
iting. gave it such remedies as are
usually given in such cases, but as
nothing gave relief, we sent for physl-
clan and it was under his care for a
week. At this time the child had been
sick for about ten days and was having
about twenty-five operations of the
bowels every twenty-four hours, and
we were convinced that unless it soon
obtained relief it would not live.
