Gods Acre.

The late President was buried in Can
ton. The public, bowling to the eX-
pressed desire of his family and towns
folk. accepted his sepulture in a
town far removed from the haunts of
men as an act it would be unseemly to
oppose. Stin. from all over the country
went UP a profound wall Of regret that
the grave of the good President should
be so inaccessible. so remote.
In Canton Mr.. Mckinley was law
yer. respectable, successful In Wasii-
ington he was the President of a great
nation. In Canton he was the principal
citizen of an insignificant city In
Washington he was man of history.
His children. the people of the United
States. would have desired his burial in
the nations capital AS Francis Palm
er asks in the current issue of Mum
sey's Magazine:"
Why are our Presidents. our leaders,
suffered to rest at last in remote obscur-
ity? Is IL wise that the memory of them,
which mound and monument perpetuate,
should be matter of mere local pride
or of family affection? Is il not possible
that a great Presidential cemetery or
cathedral might not only testify to the
chiefs and to the affection il has often be-
stCw.d upon the men who were those
chiefs but might also be an inspiration
and source of uplifting to all who
should look upon it?
Great Britain has her Westminster
and her St. Paul's. ana there, yearly,
thousands of Americans piously tread,
honoring the noble dead Why should
not we also have a cemetery or n ca
thedraI consecratcd to our leaders and
our statesmen, our generals and our
Presidents?
Abraham Lincoln lies at Springfield,
Illinois: the Adamses Sleep beneath the
austere portico of a New England
church; Gen. Ulysses 5. Grant rests 81

bank OF the Hudson at New York.

great dead. on the skirts Of the cap

around him the good and the brave who
have followed him, fighting the same
fight, giving their blood for the good Of
their successive generations?

JUSTICE BURNETTs COURT
Latest Phase of the Simms Case-A
 Civil Suit.

Edith Simms. who was convicted on Saturday of maintaining a house of prostitution within 400 yards of the East End school house. was yesterday sentenced by Justice Burnett to thirty days in the county jail and fine of s1OO.
 Attorney Daggs made a motion for a new trial. It was denied and a mo- ton for arrest of judgment suffered 2 like fate. Mrs. C. N. Simms. the de- fendant's mother, took the floor and made an earnest appeal to the court for clemency, but the magistrate was obdurate.. Attorney Daggs then ap- pealed the case to the district court and the necessary bond being fur nished. she was allowed to go.
 The next case was a civil action in which a difference of opinion as to wages arose between r. E. Jacobs of Wickenburg, a surveyor who had had in his employ a man named Ed Lepien on government contract. Lepien hal hired out as a flagman, but a portion of the time was in charge of the tram sit, position of responsibility, though it was his first work In that capacity. Mir. Jacobs offered him fagman s wages and he in turn put In bill for high priced transit man, $l0 day. Local surveyors were called in for eX- pert testimony. Their Judgment was that MT. Jacobs should pay the man | salary somewhat commensurate with his responsibility, though not gilt edged price. On the other hand. they thought the young man should feel fiattered to hold the job and be willing to work cheap. The judgment of the court was that Lepien should be paid at the rate of $40 per month for Ill days as fiagman, and at the rate of $53 per month for the time he was em- ployed as transit man. The incident Is mentioned only for the unusual thing that followed. The defendant and his attorney left the court room, but came back a few minutes later to thank the justice for the decision. Hardly had they gone out when the plaintiff came in and thanked the justice. So for once in the history of Phoenix court, everybody was made happy.
