The average son of a rich father today is not the roistering blade pictured so freely in public prints.

This being true. it follows that the fortunes Of today are not 70 be dissipated by those rlo inherit them. There will be divi- sions, naturally, but with careful man agement these segregated units will be made the foundations Of future aggce- gations quite as heavy as the original accurnulations. The course of the Van derbiIt family since the death of the great representative of the house is an instance in point. The sons took up the wori. left them, and have admin istered their trust faithfully.

PHoEN1x. ARIZONA. MARCH s. 1902.

The Hon. John W. Griggs. formerly attorney general Of the United States.
 and now Q retired SOME OF statesman. a politician. HIS OWN lawyer and capitalist. MEDICINE. is. somewhat better
 known to the people of Arizona now than he was when at the head of Uncle Sam's legal department. Some local interest in his personality has been excited by his afiliation with the Amalgamated Association of Knockers, whose chief aim in fife is to sling mud at all applicants for fed eral positions throughout the country. and at all federal officials whose course happens not to suit the members of the 'associa ton. MT. Griggs seems to think he has a grievance against the Arizona Judiciary, Judges Street and Sloan par ticularly, and it is in reference to these judges that his p~oclivities as a knoc:1er have been noted by the people of the territory. Recently. Statesman Griggs has been receiving scme of his own medicine. When he appeared be- fore the New Jersey legislature as . candidate for United States senator a few weeks ago another league Of knockers got in their work, and il was several days before he knew what had happened. His political ambitions still burned within him, however, and it seems he has been throwing out Q tow line for a seat on the supreme bench Of the United States in view of the prob able early retirement Of Justices Shiras and Gray. But again the knockers are after him. and We fear they will dis turb his peace of mind before the goal is reached. The New York Sun states that the following letter has been re- ceived in Washington from Opechee. Mich. addressed to Senator James 3Ec- Milan.
 Dear Sfr-It is understood here that John W. Griggs is seeking the appoint ment, or, if appointed. will not refuse one of the justices of the United States supreme court. l brought the matter hefnre cnnGresa lien I,4=+ l.ielff and they unanimously voted against his al}- pointment-133 Votes-and they re- QueSleu me 10 write lo you liidt you use your influence against the appoint ment. Yours very truly.
 JAMES INEY.
 Pastor Methodist Episcopal Church.
 What the objections of the church people of Michigan may De does not appear. But fa opposing the confirm ation of Richard L. Sloan as an asso- ciate justice of the supreme court of Arizona. Mir. Griggs attacks one of the ablest and most upright men that ever sat on the territorial bench, and ex- hibits a pettiness Of spirit which would be more fitting for a ward politician: and his course justiies the belief, rapidly gaining currency in Arizona, that the former attorney general is a small potato. By opposing the presi- dents nomination of popular jurist who was richly deserving of the honor of reappointmeut. Mir. GrigSs will hardly strengthen himself in Mr. Roosevelt's estimation as the proper timber for appointment to the supreme court of the United States.

plump and round. His raiment con
 sisted of suit made from a silken sub
 stance like camel's hair which grew
 near the ancient Rome where the
 Goths and vandals laid siege with that
 powerful statesman Hannibal. His
 father was a candleStick maker, and 1 young Valentine used to hold the light
 in long winter evenings that his an. ,cestral parent might the better be able . to oversee his workmen. When young
 Valentine became of age he struck out
 for himself and turned over a new leaf
 He was ordained bishop at the ruins of
 Thermopylae in the period when the architect who planned the laying of the ancient Pyramids had the capstone or that imperial mausoleum laid. His great desire was to visit the old. the middle aged, and the young. One day an epistle was found sticking in the gate post of young lady friend of
 ms with no name signed to it. AS no one had passed this gate but this good
 Bishop it could but be a surprise to the
 inmates of that cottage. While sleep- Ing, one day in the outskirts of the city, he was accosted by fellow travel CT who bade him arise saying, the desert is on fire and he must needs flee to his home for safety. On the day the first stroke was struck to lay the river Nile on it's then foundation. he came to the spot and wished to pass over the river into small hamlet to hold services. But at this early period there was no way to cross over except on green birch bark dried to a powder and soaked in powerful non-adhesive glue which would, on it's coming in contact with the water, strike fire although it was incombustible owing to It's flinty nature. When first he landed on the opposite shore. his first Step was heralded with sounds and he was accOsted with the same harmoni- ous music that was played at the dedi- cation of King Solomon's Temple. It l IS found upon perusal of most of our ancient history and all of modern history, that the birthplace of this noble and worthy Bishop or saint is lost to the present day historian. One Item occurs where you will find that 1 ne was beheaded about the days of the birth of Methuselah, supposed to be the grandson of the ancient and honor able one. What beautiful and illus 1rative fact. As we look over ancient md modern history and read carefully 'he full and condensed mediocrity of lis being and how much more beauti- ul are our thoughts when we can but the lines of some poetica1 'enlus whose relays have long since be- come extinct because of mans inhu- nanity to man.
