Washington, Feb. 2O.-This govern.
ment will not join in the contemplated
movement Of the allied armies against
China and an indication of our pur.
pose will be sent to the powers. This
determination was reached at a cabi.

unwise from every point OF view and
would be in the nature of a demand

 That financial statement" We de- sire to remind taxpayers again shows nothing except that within two years the city has paid $25.3lG.6s for lot of property which. for the sake Of ar gument. We may concede was actually required. There is nothing in that statement conflicting with the state ment of Mir. Willis in The Republican of last Sunday. It does not go into the case far enough to conflict. It IS less than one-fifth of the total expen- ditures for two years. which amount as the books show to be more than sl2s.- GOO. What the taxpayers would like to know Is how was the other $lo4,oco spent in two years. We know part of it has gone in increased multiplied and extravagant salaries.

And In the second place every honest vote cast as the re- suit of an honest opinion is a defense of the interests of the people against the schemers and the robbers who are always ready to take advantage or every chance to advance their own in- terests to the detriment of their fel- lows. And in the third place the voter who intelligent!y forms his opinion in regard to public matters and casts a vote accordingly receives a reward in actual dollars and cents as we'll as in other ways. Taxes are lower, times are better. public affairs are more hon. estly administered. life and property are safer. moral standards are higher. and in every way the city Is a better place to live in if voters take an in terest in politics and get out to vote. then If the voters are indifferent and are aroused only occasionally when some great and outrageous wrong de-
 mands redress.
 The voter who takes the trouble to vote, gets paid for 1t in many impor- tant ways.

On the eve of every election that has ever been he'd voters have been ad-
 monished to vote early. VOTE There was never time EARLY. when this admonition
 needed so much to be needed, as tomorrow at the Phoenix city election. The election, interesting as 1t will be. and ought to be in itself. is apt to be overshadowed by the great est event in the history of the city that is the most sentimental event. the coming of the president of the United States. The afternoon will be almost wholly occupied with 1t. Everybody, especially the republicans. will want 10 see the president and those who defer voting until the afternoon will almost certainly defer 1t until the programme for the presidents entertainment within the city. the procession to the capitol and perhaps an address there. has been fulfilled. On the return of the voters to the polls they VII find the democratic machinery In control; they will encounter Instructions which VIII not be removed until after the statu- tory time for closing the polls. Every republican vote should be cast before noon.
 If this is done every republican cam didate wiA be elected. Nobody doubts that the city is republican. Al the only municipal election conducted on strictly party lines within the last eight years the republicans carried every office except that of single councilman. At every territorial eiec- ton in eight years. except one, and that was in 1896. when the west was swept by the silver sentiment. the vote of Phoenix precinct was cast for the republican ticket.
 The annexation of the new additions within the last year is believed to have strongly increased the republican majority. so that there Is absolutely no doubt of republican victory if the republican votes are cast and counted If they are cast before noon this paper feels that 1t Is violating no con fldence in announcing that the nexl Phoenix official directory will contain the names of Walter Talbot. T. A Jobs, Harry Creighton, George Kirk land. J. H. Kinney, Joseph Fifield and w. I. Horner. But if, say a hundred republicans should take in the presi dential festivities before the election we are not prepared to announce any thing with definiteness.

Mir. Dunlap. the democratic candi- date for alderman from the Third
 ward, is making his TuB first political race, in FIRST other words. this IS FLIGHT the first flight of a OF A squab. It Is true th"' sOJAB. Mir. Dunlap was on the
 democratic ccounty ticket for treasurer two years ago, but ms progress in that election couldn't be called a flight. He was not considered any great shakes in Kansas City. be- sides. he was so busy singing hash that he had no time for such frlvolities as politics or religion. His partner m the hash business in Kansas City, MT staly. speaks very highly CD of MT Dunlap-so highly that we are con yinced of his absolute right to serve in a council composed of men who possess so little regard for their sity \ welfare that they wantonly and reck- lessly and illegally plunge 1t into debt. If Dunlap is elected-and It looks as though he would be-there Will be a trinity of democratic financiers in the next council that will be immac- u.ately holy-holy terrors.
 Now. there are good democratic citi- zens in the Third ward. There are democratic gentlemen there. There are democrats in that ward who imagine themselves to be real anu devout Christians. In all ser,ousness we want to ask you: Do you ap- prove of colonization for election pur- poses? Do you approve of the acton of your democratic council in illegally creating a city deficit of S2o.0OO. Do you approve of 1t? This s2o.ooo deficit was not created legally. It wasnot he- cessity. It was due solely to reckless ness that amounts to crime. rms IN no laughing matter. This s2o,OOo deneit is A morteage on the city-on you property and mine. We have got 10 nay 1t back in increased taxes. Is democratic success more to you than honesty. than the good name of your city, than your own prosperity? 1T you were asked to put up $50 to help elect Mir. Dunlap would you do 1t? Then are you willing to pay $50 to sioO in in- creased taxes for the sake of having him elected? Councilmen Sanders and McNeil have been instrumental m mortgaging the city. Dunlap Is en' gagged every day in fastening mort gages on somebody's property. Witf Dunlap in the council there will DC three of a kind and of a mind It may be funny now. After the election If you should read of Dunlap's election. mar whom you hardly know. the though' of victory would be so exquisitei' amusing that you would dance a horn pipe for very joy: but please remem' Der that the piper must be paid ant the men who pay the taxes must pa! the piper too.

ONE OF WoMAN's FAILINGS.
Her Disposal of Pins Matter of con
 cern to a Steamship Line.


 Woman's proneness to stick pin wherever convenient has proved a se- rious matter to one steamship company. The line decided some time ago to place the most modern air-filled rubber mat tresses in the berthe of the best rooms on two of it's biggest ships. Recently the stewards were kept busy at the completion of each trip blowing up with air dozens of mattresses that had collapsed from some unknown cause. It took the officials of the line some hours to discover the cause of the fail- ure of the mattresses to maintain theif proper condition. Hat pins. breast pins. safety pins, stick pins every known kind of pin had done the mis- chief.
 "One advantage Of these mattresses. said the manufacturer, was that they were intended for life preservers ol small rafts should the emergency arise Give me a decent sized hat pin If you want to see me knock the life out tho average life preserver that depends or air The women tourists simply Gtab' bed those mattresses to death." The steamship company now has this notice attached to the door of every stateroom: Please do not stick pins in the berth cushions and mattresses Pins are injurious to them"

The most humorous incident of Phoe- nix journalism lately brought to our
 notice. is the Enter HE prise's financial state SHOULD ment' showing that the COME AGAIN. city has gained $22.-
 92l99 in the last two years. These figures are arrived at as follows: There was paid for certain municipal property and equipment the sum of s25,S16.66.
 The Enterprise statistician then adds expended over receipts during past two years $2, ,394.67." From all of which he deduces by subtracting the latter amount from the former that by this transaction the city's net profit is s22 2.92l,99. We may inquire where the Enterprise accountant finds this sub> trahend and what these figures $2,3946' refer to. Certainly from nowhere in the books of the city, which show that the revenues of the city for the last two years amounted to $1l0,3s4.6O, and that the expenditures during the same period amounted to $129,614.05, so that the only amount Expended over re- ceipts during last two years" Is $l9- 229.45.
 We invite the Enterprise accountant to ''come again." not for our edifca- tion but for the satisfaction of our curiosity and amusement. We like te observe the operation of his mind while he Is engaged in the act oi monkeying with figures.

A little study of the conduct of the business of the city fire department
 by the McNeil-Sanders A cabal will be interest FIRE ing at this time to our HOSE DEAL. citizens. and will be
 doubly so to some Of our local business firms. who will rec ognize the truth of the facts here set forth. For instance, only one agent Tor an outside firm is able to sell fire hose in this city, though other firms, some of them prominent and capable busi- ness firms of this city who handle fire hose on order have made every req sonable effort to put in just as good or better fire hose than one certain favored agent of a foreign firm. In fact, the very brand of hose this agent has been able to sell to McNeil and Sanders who run the ire de- partment, was condemned and thrown out in Los Angeles last sum- mer as unfit for the service of that city. And yet this favored firm sue ceeded in selling his goods to Phoenix at an exorbitant price.
 Citizens of Phoenix do you want to continue the machinations and trick cry of those fellows in the council an- other year? Can you afford it? II so you will permit Dunlap to be elected and thus continue to put into the hands of the men who have been jobbing the taxpayers of the city the power to continue their game of cor ruption and extravagance.

The Secret

Of woinanly health would be esteemed as priceless by thousands of suffering women. Each month sees them moan ing in darkened room. At the best they enduA pain every day. At the worst the pain becomes torment.
 The secret of womanly health is in keeping the womanly organism in per fectly healthy state. This can be done by the use of Dr. Pierce's Favorite Pre- scription. It regulates the periods, dries facilitating drains, heals inflammation and alteration, and cures female weak ness. 1t makes weak women strong and sick women well.
 Women suffering from chronic forms of disease are invited to consult Dr. Pierce, by letter, free. All correspond ence is held as sacredly confidential and womanly condolences are guarded by strict professional privacy. Address Dr. R. V. Pierce, Buffalo, N. Y.
 Accept no substitute for Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription. There is noth- ing else rjust as good" for womanly ailments.
 VI suffered for more than ten years with female weakness of very bad form" writes Mrs D. Marwood of Treherne. Macdonald Co.,, Manitoba vI used Dr. Pierce's Favorite Pre- scnption and Golden Medical Discovery with good results. I am able to do all my own work now.

Referring to the age of the big trees of California. Prof C. Z. Bessy records in Science. that he once counted with much care the rings of growth of the tree of which the stump constitutes the floor of the so-calleG dancing pa yilion. This count was made from cir conference to center, and every ring in all that distance was counted. nc estimates or guesses being made The result was that 1 ,147 rings were count ed and accordingly it is safe to say that this tree, which was fully twenty four or twenty-five feet in diameter, and considerably more than 300 feet III height, acquired these dimensions in 1,147 years. Prof. Bessy doubts wheth- CT any of the existing trees approach the age of 2,000 years.
