Heating Cars.

The Northv'es. evn Railway Company
of England has equipped some OF Its
trains With 4 unique heating system,
says the Baltimore Sun. which employs
two concentric cylinders, the annu,ar
space between them communicating
with a steam pipe extending from the
locomotive boiler. The inner cylinder
contains acetate of soda, a compound
remarkable for it's qualities OF liqui.'y-

are incased in aSbcstoS-lined boxes

cl'It,
Arizona republican., 1902-12-12

Senator Beveridge does not believe in the halfway methods of Senator Bard. The California senator merely expressed the opinion that Arizona has reached the maximum of development, for the time being. He ventured no positive opinion on potential resources or ultimate development. But Sena- tor Beveridge is strenuous, and be- lieves in going the full length when there is an opportunity to denouncc and cripple a defenseless people. He expresses the opinion that Arizona's resources are too limited to entit-. the territory to statehood" In other words. there is no hope. now or here after. that Arizona can develop to t.Ie stature of a state! The resources are not here, according to the distinguishe> : Indiana wing-investigator. And of course the word of all Arizona to the contrary could not shake the belief O. the young senator that he ascertained all that was worth knowing during his tour of three days.

The Postal Clerks.

A few days ago a dispatch, telling Of
 the wrecking of two railroad trains contained this line: "One mail clerk
 had a leg broken" But the average reader never stopped to consider what this simple announcement meant. It
 was to the hurried readers, merely the
 breaking of the leg of some man to
 them unknown. Yet that man is d servant of all the people, and he is serving in a most hazardous branch O. the public service. He was engaged n the performance of his duties at the time he was injured, but his place will be taken temporarily by another man. and in a day or two more probably there will be a similar story told Of some other mail .cler. Within a week there came another story of a mail clerk who was found dying in hIs car. Still the mail service goes on and but little heed is paid to the fate of the mail clerks who spend the greater DOT tion of their time travelling at the rate of from thirty to sixty miles an hour. There are 9,731 men acting as travelling mail clerks. Last year they travelled 221. .5S9, ,999 miles and handled during that time more than 15,000, ,0O0 900 pieces of mail matter. As an instance of the ability and accuracy of the work done by these clerks the postmaster general. in his annual report. states that there 4t, orz forevery 11,502 pieces of mail distrib- uted.
 The annual report of the post depart ment also contains thIs significant paragraph, which illustrates the dan gerous character of the occupation of the mail clerks:
 There were 2S6 casualties to mail cars last year. in which either mail ar killed and SS seriously and BOP slightly injured. In the appropriation act for the current fiscal year provision was made for the first time authorizing the postmaster general to pay to the legal of any railway postal clerk who shall be killed while on duty, or who, being injured while on duty, | shall die within one year thereafter as the result of such injury, the sum of $1,000. This afforded a much needed relief in that class of cases and supple ments the practice of the department to continue to pay a clerk injured while | on duty his full salary for a period not exceeding one year after the injuries | are received unless sooner able to re-

sume duty, congress having made pro- vision for the employment of acting clerks in place of clerks so injured"
 To be sure the percentage of clerks killed or injured as the result of rail- road accidents is small, when compared with the number of men in the service and the miles travelled. Yet the danger is always lurking, and for the most part the men who are penned in the mail cars are unable to escape. Fur ther than this, the mail car is generally in that part of the train that has to meet the brunt of collision. The work of these clerks is to facilitate the dis tribution and delivery of mail, and thus they play a most important part in the transaction of the colossal busi- ness of the postoffice department. These clerks are men of more than the aver age intelligence. They are trained to the service, and perhaps no other group of more than seven thousand men in the country have so good a knowledge of the geography of the United States as the mail clerks. They are veritable gazetteers. and they enjoy no sinecure. They are entitled to the best of wages

honestly. fairly and squarely. and has followed the best judgment of the world
 in proposing to regulate these evils
 rather than undertake to suppress
 them. It has never been contemplated
 that the wide open" policy would con
 tinue without modification under a
 state government The gambling in
 this territory is upon an absolutely square" basis. The crooked" game
 keeper could not exist a week. The
 gambling scandals connected with the crooked race tracks at Hammond, and other places in Indiana, which In the past have shocked the whole country,
 would not be tolerated for an instant in Arizona.
 We cannot surmise the reasons which lead MT. Beveridge to conclude that the citizens of this territory are hardened and callous to the extent that they any SOIl Ol ably, were a large number of the lead ing citizens of Phoenix to become in- volved in grave-robbng scandal, such as recently shocked the good peo- pie of Indianapolis when it was learned that a number of their leading citizens were so involved. the whole territory would be so wrought up that although there has not been a lynching for twenty years. summary justice would be visited upon the guilty men.
 To the count that also Arizona's "re- sources and development are too limit ed to entitle the territory to statehood. ' our people are yet too amazed t6 plead.
 Senator Beverldge spent three days travelling through a territory of 113.O0o square miles. One of these days was spent at a railroad junction (Ash Fork), a mere hamlet, such as the backwoods Ol Abhi3Alsh NSAil SiiON OJ llC SNOiCs T hC time of the distinguished party was oc- cupied. we understand in photograph ing tramps and Indians. Some knowl- edge of the territory's mineral re- sources was gained by taking a trip of a half-hour or so into a portion of the Congress gold mine, which has all of twenty miles of underground workings. A stop of perhaps an hour was made in the great copper camp of Bisbee. Of the hundreds of mines throughout the territory about as much would have | been learned had the senators taken a trip to Timbuctoo. Of our agricultural | resources they gained the comprehen- ! sive knowledge which would come ! from a two-hour's carriage ride in the | vicinity of Phoenix. Senator | report tells us that Ari- | zona's educational progress has been | fair" He learned this by driving past ! the central school building in Phoenix ! when 1,5O0 children were at play.
 We are extremely sorry to note that | Senator Beveridge brought himself to | follow the lead of Senator Bard-to at tack the territory in its most vital | point, its credit-in order to sustain | himself against the advocates of the l omnibus bill.

Secretary Roots labors to evolve out
 of chaotic tumble of inconsistent and
 incongrous ways and means of national defense an orderly and efficient mili- tary system have been prosecuted with tireless persistence in the face of dis , couraging indifference by congress Chief among the secretary's admirable reforms is that for the organization oi
 national militia. A bill which crys-
 tallizes the best professional opinion
 and and represents the plans and
 wishes of practically the whole national
 guard was passed by the house of rep rcsentatives and now awaits the sem ate's action. This measure has found
 wide approval because of the peculiarly fortunate manner in which it meets the requirements of country which mafn- tains but small standing army, and
 hence if 1t were plunged into hostilities must call on it's citizen soldiery. How woefully i'll prepared for the call is the militia no one needs to be told who re- members the sorry showing our wretchedly armed and badly drilled volunteers necessarily made against a third class power when we went to war with Spain. Yet little improvement has been made since that cheaply bought Gas it chanced) experience was gained.-New York Press.
 An Alabama newspaper, the Birming- ham Age-Herald, commenting on an attempted lynching in it's neighbor- hood, says: "Lynching bees have be- come the pastime of the rougher ele- ment of community. They seize upon ann nh nd
 pose. Excitement is what they want pastime, recreation. Such scenes will occur until public sentiment .s created that will put them down."
 It is gratifying to find southern newspaper telling the plain truth about Iynchlng, and frankly owning up that all the excuses and attempted justifca- tons or lynching so long urged by the southern press are sheerest twaddle. The Age-Herald at last sees and owns that lynching is merely hoodlumism, developed from mischievousness to because during d long period of its growth it has been moi merely unchecked but actually nur- tured by a false public sentiment sprlnslng chiefly from characteristic southern resentment of northern criti- cism and from the apparent connection between the lynching habit and. the race question. To this day it is hard Tor a southern man or southern newspaper to side with a negro against a white man even when the white man IS wholly and abominably in the wrong.
 The implied confession of the Bir- newspaper that there is now no public sentiment in the south against mob-murder sufficiently strong

A CONCEIVABLE EFFORT.

At a call meeting of the Ladies' Aid
Society of the Baptist church last Mon
day, it was decided tocanvass the town
to see if enough tickets could be sold
to Justify the employment of high
class lecture course for the winter. to
be delivered in the Sunday school room.
They have proposition from the Aka
hest Lyceum to furnish such talent as
DR.. Russell H. Conwell, DR.. P. s. Han
son, Thos. Dixon and Geo. r. Wend-
ling. They also propose to try to Sc
cure some local talent, making ten lee
lures and entertainments. But theydo
not propose to close any contracts until
they secure pledges to purchase tickets
enough to insure success financially.
They are, therefore, anxious to find out
this week whether the people will pat
ronize it sufficiently.
They propose to sell season tickets at
a much lower price than has been made
heretofore. One double ticket for the
ten lectures at $500. Single ticket for
the season at $l.50. Fifty cents extra
for reserved seat. This is remarka-
bly, cheap and is within easy reach of
everybody. One of the lectures in some
places would cost the price of season
ticket. We are sure our people will
eagerly grasp this unusual opportunity
to bring such high grade of famous
lecturers to our city. 1t will be worth
great deal to the town.
