when the correct lenses ARE selected
they prove of untold benefit to the
wearer. They make him see as he
never did see, and give him relief
from eye strain and discomfort. Seo-

A THOROUGHLY BAD BILL

Council bill 36 has attracted ( great
 deal of attention in the house the last i two days This bill is designed to
 prevent the annexation of any addition | to any incorporated city ins Arizona.
 l. was in the interest of this bill that l W. 5. Adams, member from Yavapai.
 made so much noise at Tuesday nights session. A strong combination helped by the personal and active work on
 the floor of the house of several mem- bers of the council Tuesday night se- cured a favorable report on this meas
 ure, the house sitting as a committee
 of the whole, and it was passed
 through the third reading yesterday
 Eorning, but the deal made with mem-
 bers of the council got sidetracked somewhere, somebody fell down,
 and in consequence the house called
 back the bill.
 We doubt if there are three members Of the house who would vote for this
 bill if they thoroughly understood it and there was no combination working to put it through. The bill has abso-
 
 could not work a hardship upon the outside additions. It provides for jury composed entirely of persons not living in the city, and if that jury de- cides that an addition should be an nexed without any injustice to the ad- dition sought to be annexed, then 1t shall be made a part of the city. What mere could these additions that are really now a part of the city ask? They enjoy practically all of the ben efits of the city and pay nothing to- wards supporting it. They have plat big prices for them. They get gas. water and electric light from compa- nies that exist because they are sup ported by the city. The men who are backing council bill 36 are doing great deal to retard the growth and | prosperity of Phoenix We know of no l law that could be enacted by the leg!s- | latUre that would damage the city or | more than this.
 Probably the strongest and most f active lobby before this legislature has | been working to make this bill T law. The friends of block Il have been | more than active in securing it's pass age. They have the strongest kind Of incentive. for If it should become q law block Il would continue to exist as it is nova disgrace to Arizona. a blot on our fair city and absolutely beyond the control of the law.
 Citizens of Phoenix should wake up and see that council bill 36 is killed

Arizona ought to have a territorial historian Historical work left to q committee or deputy or a society is seldom well done. A noted English writer said that if the work of building the ark had been assigned to a com C1ittee it would have been uncompletod today. Arizona is rich in material for history, and now is the time to gather that material before it is lost forever Old records are being destroyed, early settlers are passing away. Some Of our older commonwealths are waking to their need of gathering statistics and preserving antiquities where the work has been neglected for hundred years. Now is Arizona's time and op- pcrtunity. 4 few hundred dollars wisely used today would accomplish more than thousands expended a few years later. New York state has a state historian, Hugh Hastings, and only regrets that such an officer was net appointed years ago.

NEW DEVELOPMENTS IN CUBA.

NE W LIEN GI-OI h1E44N D IN GODA. | Matters are beginning to take shape
 in Cuba in a way to divide interest
 with the stirring events in the Philip pines. A clearly defined rupture be-
 tween Gomez and the so-called Cuban
 assembly, with the possible conse- quences just at this juncture of Cuban
 affairs, is calculated to give a new ap- pearance to the whole Cuban situation
 If the members of this Cuban as-
 sembly had joined heartily with Go
 meg and the American authorities in l the effort to restore peaceful
 and industrial conditions in the
 islands and to gradually evolve
 system of se,f-government for
 their stricken country, order would ere
 this have come out of chaos and the American military rule, which appears
 to be so objectionable to them, would be rapidly nearing an end.
 In holding secret sessions, denOunc- ing American methods, opposing the
 bestowal of our S3,OO0,OOO charity be-
 cause it is not three or four times the amount so as to give the members of the assembly a big grab, and now i'm peaching' or setting Gomez aside, this military clique, known as the Cuban assembly," has not only demonstrated the unfitness of the majority of the Cuban leaders for managing the affairs of the island and rising to the demands of a great emergency, but has disclosed the germs of that same revolutionary disease in Cuba which exists in all the Latin-American countries in this hem isphere.
 It is not likely that the actions nor the decrees of this self-constituted au- thority will command the approval of the great mass of the Cubans, but the men who would go to the length of denouncing and removing" the old leader. Gomez, in the present critical state of affairs in Cuba, show them selves bold and reckless and short sighted enough to go to almost any length in fomenting and in actually trouble.
 Now that the issue has been clearly drawn between this intractable and ambitious, selfish and hot-headed ele- ment, on the one side, and the more forces in the island with Gomez at their head, on the other side, it must be promptly settled one way or the other. This government is as deep ly interested as the Cubans in ascer- taining at once which element repre- sents the majority sentiment in Cuba in order that it may know with whom to deal and how to act
 One thing is very certain: if our present policies are met in a hostile | way by the Cubans, and it is intended | to oppose our methods by force, or to | throw obstacles in the path of pacifica lion, the Cubans will find soon that | they have made the mistake of their r lives if they honestly desire independ- ance. This Cuban assembly is putting l powerful argument in the mouths of | hose in this country who insist that he Cubans are incapable of self-gov- and that the only solution of he question is the annexation of the sland.
 It is hardly possible that the 'as- embly'' will humiliatingly back down before Gomez and his adherents whom t has boldly challenged to a trial of strength, and the public, therefore, will watch the developments in Cuba or the next few days with a new and leep interest.
