The promotion of Lieutenant-Colonel

The promotion of Lieutenant-C Colonel Theodore Roosevelt to the colonelcy of the First volunteer cavalry has aroused the enthusiasm of all lovers of patriot ism and courage throughout the coun- try. The new colonel has fairly won his advancement. He has also earned | an enduring place in the esteem and affection of the whole nation. The
 last charge of the Rough Riders, which he so gallantly led, provoked the ap- plause of all onlookers. Colonel Roose- welt made no mistake when he left the safe and honorable post of assistant secretary of the navy and accepted second place in his regiment of cav alrymen at the front The govern

 Off your base again, colonel They are singing very high. They are as proud of MT. Murphy's record in con gress as of his work as governor. Ari- zona never had better delegate.

MAKING READY FOR THE PRESS

Our new perfecting press is somewhere on the road between Kansas City and Ash Fork. It will reach Phoenix in few days. It weighs about 30.000 pounds, and requires a tremendously heavy foundation to support it. A big pit is now being dug to ac- commodate this foundation. If you are interested in machinery come to The Republican office at any time and see the prepara- tions being made for the biggest and costliest press ever brought into the southwest. The setting up of the press itself will be worth watching. The Repubh- cans mechanical department is so complete that we are glad to have. the people of this territory call and examine it at their leis- ure. A half hour spent in this office will convince any sensible person that The Republican is one of the big institutions of Ari- zona. We especially invite adver- tisers to inspect our circulation books and. "size up' the white paper that is used in the daily edition. We can demonstrate that the circulation of The Re- publican, every day in the year, is greater than the combined cir culation of all the other dailies in the territory.
 Come to The Republican office, see the wheels 90 round and note our matchless facilities for get ting out complete newspaper.

The Professors Screed.

Copies of the st. Johnsbury Caledo-
MAN, containing virulent attack on
the State superintendent Of education,
have been mailed to members of the
Legislature. The paper contains an
article some two columns long, which
purports to be an editorial but which in
fact, as all the ear marks go TO show,
was written by one Comstock, principa
of st. Johnsbury Academy. Mr.. Com
stock has been in the State some two
years. He halls from Massachusetts,.
He is said to be high-headsd and self
assertive. He does not like Mr.. Stone.
The teachers Of the State do not share
in Comstock's dislike. They like Mr..
Stone all the better because of lCom-
stocks enmity, and they took occasion
at the recent meeting of the State
Teachers Association to demonstrate
this fact by turning down the professor
and electing Mr.. Stone president of the
association. This made the professor
very angry, and the two column Cal

Savings Banks Surplus and Dividends.

Editor Wdtbhnedn Il notice that the
inspector Of finance recommends legislation
to limit the dividend rate to depositors in
savings banks to three and one-half per
cent year. Why legslate on this matter
II the savings banks can pay but three and
onehalf per cent it is not to be supposed
they will pay more and II they can pay
more why should the Legislature limit them?
Why make an iron bedstead and fit every
bank to 1t? What bank can afford to pay
depends much on its location; and IL goes
without saying that the officers OF savings
banks know much better about managing
their affairs than the Legislature does, and
this with due Difference to the wisdom Of
our legislators.
Again the inspector advises legislation to
compel the banks to accumulate a surplus
of fifteen per cent before any dividend is
declared. Why accumulate surplus II
a bank loses money through bad invest
ments or otherwise, Is 1t any less loss to
the depositors to take 1t from the interest
than the principal? The accommodating Of
q surplus of ten per cent or fifteen per cent
does great injustice to those depositors who
depended In whole or in part upon the
yearly interest for their support They
help earn the surplus but do not share in
its divisions. Considering the fact that the
income Of savings banks is at least one per
cent less than 1t was when the present tax
law was enacted, it would seem very
proper for the Legislature to reduce the
tax to one-half of one per cent @.

Watched by the World.

Has turn of fortune come to Spain?
There has been pause in the peace
negotiations in Paris, because, it is said
that in addition to Spain's refusal to re-
move her disturbing rule from the
Philippines, she insists that in vacating
Cuba she shall take with her such
things as her cannon and the floating
dock at Havana, and that the United
States shall pay the Cuban debt.
Spain is not sparring for time without
hope. Every keen foreign observer of
American politics will perceive the rea-
son why. The party that has directed
the war in which Spain has been con-
quered, and whose President but yes.
terday at st. Louis said that this coun-
try must not fail to "gather the fruits
of the victory" is engaged in political
campaign with party which has iden-
tilted itself with the policy of restoring
to Spain all that we have gained, even
to the hauling down of the Stars and
Stripes wherever they have been raised
on Spanish soil.
Victory has made the. American cleo
ton of Representative in Congress, OF
Legislatures, and of Governors in the
more important States matters of inter.
national concern. Every European
enemy or rival of this country, with
Spain of course AT the front, is praying

edonion article of vituperation, innuen-
do and epresentation-to call il by
its mildest term is one of the results.
Mr.. Comstock is apt to be in trouble
He is having great deal of trouble in
st. Johnsbury, according to well au-
thenticated reports. Things must go
his way or there is row. He has got
at loggerheads with the existing State
school administration, and from his
lurking place in the Caledonian he
seeks to stab it's chief administrative
officer in the back. The reference in
the WATCHMAN to the action of the
State Teachers Association in electing
Mr.. Stone its president was not Gin
spired," as Comstock insinuates. This
is only one, and one of the mildest, of
his untruths. By this one the. whole
tissue of his fabrications may be judg-
ed. False in one, false in all. The
members should be able to estimate the
professors screed at its true value,
and understand its real character.
Some extracts from the State press,
printed elsewhere in this issue-and
there are many more Of the same tenor
reflect the sentiment of the State at
large respecting this faithful and meri-
torious officer.

Centennial Anniversary Of Berlin Con-
gregatiOnal Church.

The centennial anniversary Of the Berlin
Congregational church was celebrated on
the afternoon and evening Of Thursday,
October 10.
The afternoon session was opened by
devotional exercises conducted by Rev. Mr..
Smith OF East Barre. Rev. j. j. Goodacre
read very interesting letters, full of sympa-
thy and encouragement, from the following
absent members of the church, Miss Helen
Perrin, Andrew A. Field, M D., Irene Hub
bard Burnham, Mrs. 1. A. Woodbury., Mrs.
May Crandall Currier and +. A. Warren.
A few very appropriate remarks referring
to events which occurred many years ago
were read by Rev. William Water of Wor-
cester. written by Mrs. James Hobart, who
though over ninety years of age, was pres
ent on this occasion.
A forcible address upon the "Perpetuity
of the Church of God" was delivered by
Rev. William Scofield, in which he showed
that through all ages the church of God
had been oppressed by its enemies, but had
survived all oppression, and though at
times had seemed almost abliterated, had
sprung up with renewed vigor. He showed
the church to be power in the world. and
the local church power in the community.
This address was followed by greetings
from sister churches. The pastor of the
church at Barre being unable to be present,
Deacon s. p. Wallis rendered the greetings
of that church, which will observe its CEN
tennial next year.
Most cordial greetings were brought from
the "baby" church at East Barre by its
pastor, Rev. William Jackson. DIR. Nor
man Seaver, pastor of Bethony church.

water flowing down from these hills for the
good of the people in Montpelier to the tide

Mortified church. Rev. George E. Ladd
spoke in behalf of the Waterbury church

member from this church in W. G. Pear
sons.
Congratulations from the church at Wor-
cester were rendered by Rev. William
Water. He spoke OF the family OF Rev
James Hobart as the connecting link be-
tween the two churches In the absence OF
Rev. p p. Womer, the greetings OF the
Williamstown church were extended by
Rev William Scofeld A few words OF
encouragement were offered by Rev. j. N
