ArIzona,s Convention.

Phoenix, Ariz., Oct 2s.-Arizona's
campaign for statehood was launched in
the most enthusiastic convention ever held
III the territory. Every county, munich
pality and commercial organization in the
territory sent delegates, and the body OF
accredited delegates that met in the local
opera house taxed the capacity of that
building. 4. j. Doran of Prescott was
permanent chairman Resolutions were
adopted with great enthusiasm, declaring
that Arizona is Justly entitled to be freed
from the present territorial form of gov
eminent. as it has been the unvarying Gus
tom of the federal government to admit
territories to statehood when their popula-
ton, wealth and the intelligence of the
population are sufficient to warrant such
action.
The resolutions were strong in tone and
their reading aroused the convention to
a high pitch of enthusiasm. When the
closing sentence was read, declaring that
ARIZONA relies upon the sense of JUS
tice of both branches of congress-" the
delegates rose to their feet. The Indian

ton with the President the day after
the declaration Of war. who said to
wait Il day or two and have good
a little more time to make preparation
without deliberate breach of neu-
trality. After waiting the two days
the secretary said to Admiral Crown
inshield: Prepare that dispatch and
will take it over to the President" The
dispatch was prepared, and this is Mr..
Longs account Of it: "Crowninshield
did not prepare it. Who did? Some
subordinate clerk in his department.
Who? God only knows. But Crown
inshield didn't. AS for me. l should
not have used the word commence
should have said The war has begun
Aside from that 1t is mighty good

by the way. Dewey did. The dispatch
came in to me- l took it to the Presi-
dent, saying to him, Mr.. President,
think this ought to GO He said, All
right. sign it,. We heard not a word
more"
Thus in the obscurity of the navy
department some clerk, possibly a
young lady formed that brief and
fateful dispatch. War with Spain has
commenced. Capture or destroy the
Spanish fleet at Manila. Use the ut

secretary of navy, all the cabinet.
Admiral Crowninshield, and the others
in authority We're agreed on the orders
to be Sent to Dewey. Only one course
was open. But who actually framed
the order? Will it remain a mystery
of history or Will the unknown become
known? Secretary Long would prefer
begun" to commence" but says that
otherwise the orders were all right,
with which the country agrees.

Rules for Preserving Life.

DIR. d. X. Pearson. the Chicago phi
lanthrCpist. when celebrating his
eightieth birthday gave these rules for
long life:
No pies or cakes: no pains or aches.
Most men dig their graves with
their teeth.
If you overwork your liver, ii will
soon tell on your brain.
Live like n farmer. and you will live
like n prince.
Men can live ten days without eat
ing. They can't do without pure air
for five minutes.
Don't get angry and don't set excit
ed. Every time you fret you lose a
minute of life.
Let n man abuse his stomach and
he'll get fidgety and cross to his fam
lily.
Doctors say don't sleep on a full
stomach. ! take my after dinner nap
just the same, and I'm so years old
You can't believe all the doctors say.
If you catch a cold lose your quinine
and eat an onion.
Give away your money. It's exhila-
rating and tends to longevity.
The idea of giving while one Is alive
will become epidemic as soon as men
discover what fun it is.

their many natural charms are great

occurred within their borders. events
that have helped shape history, and
time has been gentle in its touch upon
the relics of the olden days. Mr. Allen
is to be congratulated and thanked
for the service he has performed in
getting together in such attractive
form so much of historical value.

The Orders 10 Dewey.

Ever since the immortal victory won
in Manila bay by Admiral Dewey on
Sunday morning, May !. 1898, there
has been much discussion as to the
authorship of the famous dispatch tell
ing him to capture or destroy the
Spanish ships" Some have attributed
the message to President Mckinney
himself, some to Secretary Long and
others with much persistence have de-
clared that the order originated with
ice-President Roosevelt, then as
sistant secretary of the navy. None
of these gentlemen, nor any of the
others who have been mentioned as
possible authors of the dispatch. have
spoken on the subject until Secretary
Long made clear the mystery in an in
formal speech at his Massachusetts
home. last week. That is. Secretary
Long told all he knew about the dls-
patch, namely that he signed 1t with
the consent of the President. but not
even he knows who wrote 1t. 1t was
bounded out on the typewriter by
some unknown clerk who worded 1t as
seemed best to himself. Whoever the
clerk. he must have a great deal more
modesty than most men to keep quiet
all this time. Here is Secretary
Longs story of the dispatch:
MY name was at the bottom.
Glorious dispatch. I should rather
like to have the credit of it. But 1t Is
not mine. have heard that some one.
wanting to get into the graces OF
President Mckinley. described him as
the author of it. He never once saw
IT until 1 took it in and showed 1t to
him. Then others have given me
credit for writing it. l did not write
it," Then he told of his conversations
with Admiral Crowninshield and GOTH
ers, and how they all agreed that the
thing to do was to strike as quick and

Minister W. on the Fourth.

Perhaps the most notable feature of
was the address by Minister WI Ting
Fang in Independence hall. Philadel-
phia. 1t was quite an innovation that
this philosopher diplomat from the
Orient, the representative of civiliZa-
America as can be imagined. should be
the orator of the day in this historic
hall. WI Ting Fang is a graceful and
eloquent public speaker. as has been
demonstrated on many occasions dur
ing his residence in this country, but
he was never heard to better advan-
taee than at Philadelphia. His ad
dress was distinguished for good
sense and for broad and lofty patriot
ism He dwelt on the interest taken
by all the world in Americas trium-
phant struggle and how it is gracious
and fitting that other lands through
their representatives should share in
the celebration of Independence day.
He might have added that July 4
promises to be the worlds holiday,
since the spirit of freedom born In
America is going through the earth.
and since the day is being more and
more widely celebrated each year, not
only by Americans abroad. but by the
residents of foreign capitals. This
wear. the cable tells of the celebra-
tions in London. Paris, Rome and
PeRin as well as in Manila. San Juan,
Honolulu and Havana. The part of
of the world where the Fourth is about
the least observed is in our own South.
The chief note of the address of the
Chinese minister was a plea for the
love for humanity. No doubt his
words were inspired by the great and
upselfish work of America in China
during the past year. His utterances
on this point are worth careful con-
sideration by every citizen. He said:
We have noble examples of this
broader and higher patriotism in Lord
Chatham. whose ringing denunciations
of the American war are still able to
make the ear Jingle and the blood boil
and in Gladstone, who never failed To
raise his voice against barbarities In
every form, and whose sympathies
went out to the weak and the Oppress-
ed irrespective of race or religion. Let
patriotism in its proper sense De
synony nous with humanity. justice
truth. law and order. Let all clanisf
or selfish feelings be banished from the
hearts of civilized men. There must be
some noble ends for which the indie
pendence of the United States was es
tablished. 1t was to demonstrate Il
the world what great good to mankind
a free and Independent people can do
to establish a government of the PEG
pie. by the people. and for the people +:
to preserve law and order; TO treat al
people dlIhe WITH i"i 1908 '-~
to do away with selfish and clannlsl
feeling; to make American patriotism
synonymous with fair play. with low
of mankind, with freedom and libert!
in accordance with law and justice. b.
pursuing these great ends this Repub
lie will become the greatest power up
on the earth. and you citizens OF TIM
great country will be more than eve
