The governor has named a strong ex-
ecutive committee to manage the state
hood campaign. The finance commit
tee also is made W of representative
men. The statehood movement will be
fairly under way in a few days, and by
the time the members of congress re-
turn from their holiday vacation the
committee appointed to go to Washing
ton will be ready to begin it's mission
airy work. 1t is necessary to the sue
cess of this committee that an ample
fund be placed at its disposal The
east needs to be educated concerning
Arizona. There should be an Arizona
headquarters in Washington, and at
least a carload of exhibits of our varied
resources should be forwarded
there. There should be humid
reds of photographs of ARIZONA
scenes, and these should be
supplemented by attractive printed
matter descriptive of our marvellous re-
sources, our climate, our school system,
our growth and the opportunities that
present themselves here for business.
A headquarters thus equipped would be
a wonderful aid to the campaign of ed
ucation that of necessity will have to
be conducted. 1t is to be hoped that
the people of the territory will sub
scribe literally to the end that the Ari-
iona delegation may have all the adj
vantages that such a delegation re-
quires to carry on such important and
difficult work.

enough at one spot to marry. Still the
fact that we have captured twelve bar
rels of Mrs. Aguinaldo's wardrobe is
very strong evidence on the other side
of the question.
But how are we to interpret the ex-
preston, twelve barrels" in this bit
of Luzon society news?
Some of our hard worked comic"
papers are given to pictures of savages
arrayed in barrels with the heads
knocked out, and occasionally We see
on the stage a surprised bather hastily
DOMINIC a suit OF BARREL but who has
ever heard of real savages who affect
ed the full dress habit of barrels?
Considered in this light, the case
seems to resolve itself into one in which
the barrels were used as receptacles for
Mrs. Aguinaldo's clothes when she
travelled. In this respect the difference
between the savage and the civilized is
more marked, for what the former
would stow into a dozen barrels or so,
the latter would put into one Saratoga
trunk
But how are We to reconcile the fact
that Mrs. Aguinaldo carries such an
extensive wardrobe with the prevailing
ideas of dress in warm and primitive
lands? 1t has heretofore been believed
that Filipino lady, instead of requir-
ing a dozen barrels for only a part of
her wardrobe, could place her entire
wardrobe, along with that of every
lady in her tribe. in one barrel, if not
one key. What are we to infer, there
fore, when we are told that Mrs. Agui-
naldo drops parts of her wardrobe by
the dozen barrels at a drop? Perhaps
we might hazard the theory that when
she travels she carries with her not
only her bathing suit, but her swim
ming pool; but that seems improbable
in a land where bathing suits are I'M
known and when at this season of the
year the whole country is a swimming
pool.
Altogether there is probably nothing
we can do to clear up this mystery eX-
cept to wait until General Otis can
throw one of his fractions in reverse
around Mrs. Aguinaldo and the re-
mainder of her wardrobe and issue a
more explicit bulletin.-Henry Waiter

ed president and to make up, as he
pose that the secretary of the treasury,
with his consent, should decide to pay
the interest on the public debt land the
principal when due) in silver instead of
gold. Pay it he would. Congress could
not stop him. Isn't silver COIN" And
does not the bond nominate coin as the
medium in which payment shall be
made? 1t is the claim of the silver ad-
vocates that the debt should be pad
in such coin. Naturally, if they came
into power, that is the coin they would
use.
The result would be the reputation
of half the debt and a financial revul-
sion such as nobody now living has
ever seen. This would be impossible,
if the republican party, now that it has
the full control of both houses of con-
gress and the president, passes legis-
lation that will forbid such action. In
that case, the thing could only be done
after repeating what laws had been
passed and that would require the con-
troll of both houses.
The same argument that is used
against passing stronger financial Iegis-
lation can be used against any good
law that is proposed. 1t might be re-
pealed. That is no answer at all. There
is an immediate duty to do now what
is the best thing to do and then trust
to the future for the continuance of
such legislation. The fear that out
spoken utterances now might prove in
furious in the coming election is not
worth entertaining. Look at Indiana
and Iowa. The governors of those two
states were among the most positive
and strongest advocates of the gold
standard at the Indianapolis conven-
ton, and they have been enthusiasts
tically reelected and the states have
spoken in no uncertain terms at the
polls. Where stood Iowa last month?
The people are not fooled by evasion
or attracted by cowardica. The oppo-
sition of the silverites is already as
sured, and the way to strength is
through positive action that will draw
all who realize the dangers or repudi-
alton.

COL. WATTERsON PUZZLED.
He'd Like the Mystery of Mrs Aguin
aldo Explained

This paper has waited patiently, but
in vain, for four days and nights for
some solution of the dispatch from the
Philippines announcing that while we
have as yet failed to bag Aguinaldo,
we have captured twelve barrels of
Mrs. Aguinaldo's wardrobe.
For one thing that was the first init
nation we had ever had in this country
that there was a Mrs. Aguinaldo. If
there is any such person she has kept
herself in the background in a manner
entirely inconsistent with the theory
of the existence of a lady of such s,ata
as to drop her olo,hes by the dozen
barrels in her travels. Soldiers return
ing from the Philippines say that they
never heard of Mrs. Aguina do, and it
does seem unreasonable to expect in
telligent people to believe that Mr..
AgUinaldo has ever stopped long

Every once in a while some philos-
optical writer on economic matters
mentions incidentally that the water
ing of stocks has ceased and belongs to
an era when managers had not the in
telligence and foresight of the pres
entday. 1t would be well for such wise
folk to wake up and read about the
American Bell Telephone company.
The directors of that concern last week
voted to transfer its assets TO the
American Telegraph and Telephone
company and to take two shares of
stock of the new company for each
share of the old. 1t is added that the
new company is expected to pay per
cent dividends. The present dividend
rate of the Bell is called u per cent.
Water? The doubling of the capital by
means of a printing press is nothing
else. And the reduction" Of the divi-
dend from u per cent to is really an
increase from u to 16. Is stock water

ments. in an effort to soothe the agi-
tated public and distract attention
from the practices of the trusts. On
the other hand, the opponents of the
combinations have sounded a note of
alarm against the oppressive methods
of a number of capitalists, who seem
determined upon the absorption of the
Industrial concerns of the country.
Every fair minded person is willing to
concede that the present rage for trusts
is working harm, not only to consum-
ers but also to capital.
Today trusts capitalized at IS 900 OOO,-
900 are supposed to represent nearly
$4,000, OO0, 900 of actual value, or one
fourth of the entire manufacturing
capital of the country. which, accord
ing to Prof. E. w. Bemis, was valued
in 1890 at $500, 900, OOO and must now
exceed $4,000, 100000. Even the advo-
Gates of trusts predict the universal
spread of combinations, unless checked
by legislation.
Various remedies for the trust evil
have been suggested by those who
earnestly believe that the people are
suffering on account of the methods
adopted by the combinations. But
there is one remedy which, we believe,
has not yet been put forth by those
who, while desiring that the public
shall not suffer, are also earnest in the
II
from legitimate channels. This rem
edy is, the teaching Of the younger
generations against avarice. We hon
estly believe that the people of this
country have gone too far in the wor-
ship of the Mighty Dollar. Our chill
dren, almost from the cradle, are
taught the power of money, and are
impressed with the Importance of get
ting rich at the earliest opportunity.
The good old Scoth term ''canny'' can
be applied to Americans in broader
sense. The people of this republic are
too shrewd. too "cute" at times in their
business transactions. Ben Franklin's
Poor Richard is largely responsible for
the American idea of the dollar and
the manner in which it should be OBJ
tanned. We are teaching our children
all the tricks of trade but are not pay
ing much attention to the quality of
business. David Harum's Golden Rule
do unto others as they would do unto
you, but do it first-seems to be the
chief thought of majority of our pop
ulation.
We have heard it said that the oppo-
nents of trusts are those who cannot
get into the combinations. This may
be true, in the case of a number of
selfish persons; but that there are
thousands who earnestly and consist
emily oppose unlawful combinations,
and who would scorn to profit by i'm
positions upon the public, there is no
doubt.
BY teaching the youth of today that
money is not the chief aim of life, our
future capitalists will be inclined TO
treat mankind in a spirit of fairness.

honest in it's advocacy of the gold

so many pledges that nobody can ques-

no possible harm from legislation that

Gorton's Minstrels

Will be greeted with a big house on
Tuesday, Oct. 8. 1t is a matter of note
that in all the years since the organ
ization of Gorton's famous MINISTRIES
no person has ever left the theater dis
satisfied-a most remarkable record.
This probably is due to the fact that all
classes enjoy good, clean, up-to-date
minstrel entertainment, and the Cor
tons embody all that Is refined and en-
joyable in modern minstrelsy. Manager
Larkin is thorough minstrel
man and always keeps MS company
supplied with the best talent money
can procure. He is business man and
applies business methods in his trans
actions. He reasons that nothing is too
good for his patrons, and consequently
when you hear of Gorton's Ministries
coming you can depend upon seeing the
prettiest and best show of minstrelsy
Every performer is STAR in his par
ticular line-there is not lame spot In
the company; the singing and musical
selections are especially good.
Watch for the grand street concert at
noor given by Americas best solo
minstrel band. The programme will
consist of selections from the latest
popular and operate successes. Get
your seats early.
