MARCoNI MUST BE A SOLDIER

Whilst Marconi is engrossed with his wireless wires,' all Italy is deeply in terested in the question of dragging him away from his inventions, and from his dreams of wealth and fame, to serve his term in the army.
 It has been stated that General Mirri, Italian minister of war, by way of protecting the inventor from the blood tax without flying too openly in the face of the law, is about to appoint him honorary military attache to the Ital- ian embassy in London.
 To all this, however. the important army organ, L'Esecrito, gives a flat denial. The war minister, the journal declares, is not going to perpetrate the job attributed to him, for the simple reason that it would be impossible without committing a glaring illegal ity.
 Marconi can evade being swept into the ranks until his 26th birthday, and no longer. He is now 24.-London Leader.

PHGNIx. DECEMBER 2e. 1909.

Colonel Horace N. Fisher of Massa- ehusetts has published a pamphlet.
 with the somewhat long
 COLONIAL title, Principles of Co.,
 GOVERN lonial Governm e mt,
 MENT. Adapted to the Present
 Needs of Cuba, Porto Rico and the Philippines" In it Col onel Fisher takes the ground of the in ability of the people of these countries to maintain, at the present time, in dependent republican governments. He finds the same inability to have existed in the Spanish-American countries of this continent at the time of their re- volt from the rule of Spain in the pe riod from 1910 to 1920, which was fol- lowed by a succession of revolutions and dictatorships that kept Spanish America in turmoil for many years. The mistake, it is argued, was made in adopting in these new governments the radical doctrines of the French revolution, instead of the conservative principles of the American revolution. Universal suffrage will not do for peo- pie undeveloped in political intelli- gence; that privilege is appropriate only to proved political capacity. Col we think it is-settles the question as to the present capacity of the Philip pines, Porto Rico and Cuba to support a government independent of the United States. He does not despair of ultimate success in these countries, however, but he thinks the effort to- ward it should begin with local self government in the townships or vil lages. This is all Colonel Fisher be- lieves the people of these islands to be capable of using with advantage to themselves at present. While it is ex- banding into county government, and, perhaps, preparing for something more, the United States should have charge certainly of the Philippines and Porto Rico-as colonial dependencies" dis tinct from the form of "territories'' un- der our national constitution. An early change from military to civil government is desirable in this, though military power should remain to sup port civil authority. Colonel Fisher says that the original form of Span ish government in this country was that of the town or pueblo, but that it was buried beneath the centralized bureaucratic despotism of Philip II during his reign.

The scheme of the Pennsylvania Railroad company for pensioning its old employees will go into effect with the beginning of the coming year. and it is undoubtedly one of the most bene- ficent ever entered upon by great cor poration. On January l. 950 employees will retire on a pension, and thereafter all officers and employees not yet 70 years of age will be retired and pen stoned on the first day of the month following their attainment of that age. The pension will be equal to 1 per cent for each year of continuous service of the average salary for the last ten years, and this. with the savings of a prudent employe, ought to provide for him handsomely.

HOW PRESIDENT COULD RESIGN.

It would probably puzzle most people to tell how a president or vice president could resign. After writing his resig- nation, what shall he do with it? This law, which was passed by congress in 1792, lays down the modus operandi: ''The only evidence of a refusal to ac- cept, or of a resignation of the office of president or vice president shall be an instrument in writing declaring the same and subscribed by the person re- fusing to accept or resigning, as the case may be, and delivered into the of flee of the secretary of state" Vice President John c. Calhoun resigned on December 2S, 1882, and his resignation is now on file at Washington in the de- partment of the secretary of state.-- Boston Transcript.

ing it could reach port. If the Boers assume control of the mines they will be idiots if they do not turn them to account. If the mines, or at least a portion of them, remain under foreign domination the product will at the worst be hoarded pending the conclu- sion of the war. If the mines should be sealed for a year, say, there would be an impetus given to gold mining in Arizona, Alaska, South Dakota, Cali fornia and other gold producing re- gions which would soon bring the total production up to the present figures, with the ever present prospect of re- sumption of the heavy South African flow.
 Gold has always been, always will be, the worlds chief medium of exchange. The search for it is being prosecuted in every quarter of the globe where signs of its existence have been found. Far from giving the silverites an ad vantage the war in the Transvaal is certain to increase the supply of gold. When the war is overland it will be over before the next election is held in this country-it will be found that the worlds output, which already is suffi cient for all legitimate needs, will have increased at a greater ratio than ever before because of the incentive afford oJ
 The prosperity of this country in the last year is a sufficient refutation of Dubois's statement that the money supply is curtailed. Kansas, the first hotbed of populism, was never so pros porous as now. Her farmers have paid off mortgages aggregating hundreds of millions of dollars, and their deposits in Kansas banks, aggregating many millions more, are seeking loans at low rates of interest. This is true of many other western states. The New York panic" to which Dubois refers as an object lesson" was a purely local affair. Our dispatches have shown it's origin, and there is no evidence of bad effects on the country at large.
 Dubois, only an optimist now, will be lucky indeed if, after next Novem- Der, the present silverites themselves do not call him "nutty.'' That is the inevitable outcome of optimism like his that is given the full benefit of print CTS ink.

The senators and other distinguished men who are coming to Arizona under the escort of Governor Murphy will reach Phoenix in few days. The board of trade should arrange for a public reception and a banquet, and in other ways help to make their stay agree able. With Arizona knocking at the doors of the Union it is especially for tunate that the chairman of the senate committee on territories, the chairman of the house committee on military af- fairs and several other members of the congress should now be on their way to this favored region. These men are in a position to help us, and while they are not anxious to receive public at
 tentions they nevertheless will appre- ciate what may be done by our citizens to afford them an opportunity to see the Salt River valley at its best and to meet the people of the valley. Let us give them a true Arizona welcome.

When correspondents shriek to have the queen and President Mckinley ''stop the carnage" let them remem- Der they did not shriek to stop the war we began with Spain, or, if they did, the battles on Cuban soil were con- tinued just as if nobody had said a word. At the time American blood was flowing, and it might have flowed much stronger and longer than it did. Let us not forget now that England was the only power who stood by us and wished us well.

''If the war in the Transvaal con-
 cause of silver will have
 DUBOIS been won," chirps for
 HAS AN mer Senator Dubois of
 IDEA. Idaho. The fact that
 Dubois's utterances are dignified by the Associated Press to the extent of a short dispatch is our only reason for considering them seriously Dubois's silver speeches during his senatorial career and since show him to be a simple optimist. All his former contentious have been proved to be fallacious. The only req son we can assign for his present oc- cupation as one of the mouthpieces of the free silver outfit is that he is anus ing, and after the spasms they have suffered the silverites are entitled to all the fun they can extract from him or from the movement" which the sil- yer propaganda insists upon trying to keep alive.
 Dubois's declaration that there isn't enough gold in the world to form the basis of the worlds money is due to his discovery that there is a war in the Transvaal, whence a large proportion of the worlds gold supply comes. He assumes that there will be no gold mined in South Africa while the war is on, and that the fifty odd millions cred ited to the African gold fields last year will be entirely eliminated from this years supply. This is at variance with the statement coming from Pretoria Nhat "Oom Paul' is considering the ad- visibility of taking over some of the biggest producing mines and working them for the benefit of his government. Should this be done the gold necessarily would have to be sent out of the coun- try, and even MT.

There is a close similarity between events in the South African war and
 events during the early
 HIS stages of the civil war TORICAL in this country. General ANALOGIES. Butler was not more
 confident of eating his Christmas dinner in Pretoria than the north was that the resistance of the south would be short lived, and, just as the British redjackets expected the march to the Transvaal capital to be a parade" the Union soldiers expect ed to march on to Richmond with scarcely any interference. The action of the confederates in opening hostili- ties and taking the offensive; the rush der states; the rising in these states of sympathizers with the secession move ment; the disillusionment of Bull Run and the panic and dismay into which the north was thrown when it saw its hope of swift and easy triumph crushed all are paralleled in South Africa. Another close analogy was the quiet preparations which for years the south and the Transvaal republic had been making for hostilities, and if Great Britain shall finally defeat the Boers it will be due chiefly to superiority of numbers, the real cause of the south's defeat. Of course the principles at ly different

According to the London Saturday Review, no more startling proposal has ever been made than that gravely pre- ferred to the Indian government by Mirza Ghulam Ahmad of Kadian, well known Mohammedan reformer. He proposes to submit the truth of all rival religions to a competitive exami- nation under official control. Govern ment is to call a public conference at which representatives of all religions are to give proof, each of his own creed, in two forms. CD A demonstra- tion of the sublimity of its moral teach ings, @ an outward and visible sign of its divine support by the performance within one year of some miracle tram scending all human limits. Precau- tions are to be taken to prevent inn posture and the British government is to pronounce the award. The mirza, who claims divine inspiration, makes the challenge in complete sincerity and with such confidence in his cause that he offers to submit to crucifiXion if he fails.

Now that the question of water is uppermost in the valley the following extract from the New York Tribune is interesting. If we could have all the water that daily goes to waste in New York there would be g. few more ranches tributary to Phoenix:
 Columbus O. Johnson, the former water register, speaking yesterday of the great waste of water in the city, said that it was worth considering whether it would not be better for the city to place a water meter in every service pipe, and at the same time to reduce the price of water. In June, 1895, he said, he had a meter placed in the service pipe of the house occupied by the commissioner of public works. The meter registered 1000 gallons a week at first, but when plumbers stopped all the leaks in the house pipes the meter registered only 2,957 gallons a week. Regarding the record made by that meter MT. Johnson said: For the entire year of 1897, with an average of eight persons living in the house, the weekly consumption was about g. 967 gallons. This was when the plumb ing was free from leaks and without any attempts to save. It gives a Der capita average for the year of 19,2S1 gallons. The population of the city for 1S97 according to the board of health, was 1,990,00O At the above average percapita the consumption should have been 3S, 369 190,0O gallons, plus about 16, ,000 poo, GOO gallons consumed through meters and 4,3SO,O0O,OOO gallons, the amount estimated by MT. Birdsall, to be used for fires, sprinkling, public buildings, charities, etc, making in all 5S, 749 900 gallons. MT. Birdsall says In 1897 the city consumed 243, ,0000 900 gal
 Ions a day, or SS,695, 900, 900 gallons dur ing the year. Subtract from this the 5S, 749, ,OO0,O0O gallons, and we find the amount of actual unnecessary waste was 29. .946, 900, 900 gallons, or S2,S00, 00O gallons a day, or more than 33 1-3 pc: cent of all the water furnished the city that year, which at the present daily consumption would show waste of more than S6,6OO,OOO gallons a day This is conservative, because the 16,- O0O,O00,00O gallons consumed by meters furnished all the water used by that large portion of the population living in flats, apartment houses and hotels

The question of women smoking in public restaurants is having one of it's regular revivals in London now, through the act of the proprietor of one of the best restaurants compelling Hungarian woman who was dining there with her husband to throw away a cigarette which she had lighted when the coffee was brought on. Following the noble British example he immedi- ately wrote to the papers. It was then discovered that it was only in the res taurants patronized by the upper mid- dle class that smoking was forbidden, and that at Claridge's, the Savoy and the Carleton, the most fashionable and the most expensive, women were al- lowed to smoke whenever it pleased them to do so.
