Western people have heard not lit tie Of the superiority of the east in the matter of manners. Indeed, one of the weighty reasons recently suggested in the Washington correspondence Of the New York Tribune against the ad- mission of Arizona and New Mexico to statehood was that okla homa is the only member of the quartet (sic) whose citizenship can be said to be fit for the responsibilities of full partici- patton in the national government. But We have yet to hear of anybody in either of the territories going broke because of tableware being stolen at q public feast. The telegraph tells us that the noted New York caterer who served the refreshments to the crowd at Shooters Island on the day that Emperor Williams yacht was launched has just made an assignment. and he sets forth as the cause of his bank rUpt,-y the fact that several thousand collars worth of silverWare was taken rom his tables by the souvenir. fieads who wished to have some reminder of Prince Henry. We think that it will be some time before Arizona comes up to this eastern standard Of morals and manners.

There is q new fashion in the Pitts

There is a new fashion in the Pitts burg public schools. It is the advent of the trained story teller. Every Fri G2y afternoon some one of band Of professional story tellers visits every public school and tells stories out of mythology and history. The deliberate intent of tfe story te::er Is to arouse interest in the best literature. and . list of books treating on the subject is furnished to every child wno asss. Anybody who has had much to do With children knows that where one child will prove enough of a bookwo oI1l 10 hunt up historical and mythalogical aIlusions for himself. nine will be in terestei in such tales if told in a way wEi; T. they can comprehend. The per sonal magnetism Of the person who is talking has something u do with this; and. moreover, enc must consider the fact that tue average child is much mere accustomed to taking in ilnowl- edge of miscellaneous kinds through the ears than to getting the same sort of Knowledge by reading. The trained story teller aims to give him an interest in books. so that he win not regard reading as an amusement inferior to the sports of the playground.

PHoENIX. ARIz.. MARCH 19, 1902.

A Washington dispatch states that after having spent something like
 $11 900 900 in an effort to NEW ERA preserve and improve FOR THE the Missouri river as T MISSOURI. navigable stream. the
 government, so far at least as the house committee on rivers and harbors is concerned, has decid ed to give it up as a bad job. For four teen years the government has contrib uted something like S7S5.00G a year in carrying out plans Of the War depart ment. and the net result has been so wholly unsatisfactory. that the rivers ard harbors committee has declare'i it's unwillingness to recommend contin- ucnce of these large appropriations
 This marks the end Of the Missouri as one of the ccuntry's great highways O. commerce, and is but the fore-run- ner Of similar action in reference to the Mississippi, although the official aban- do7ment of the latter river as q navig- able stream may not occur fer some years. The railroads have SO con- pletely suppIa1ted the rivers fer carry ing freight that interior water ship nlents have sunk to insignificant pre- portions as compared with the business Of the railways. and the great expendi- lures for the improvement Of the Mis- sissippi and the Missouri during recent years have been largely in deferenca to sentiment rather than practical re ouirements The rivers have lost their supremacy for the primary reason that the volume of water has become so un- certain fo: most c: the year as to make the boating business unprclitabIe-
 It will always be necessary, of course, to make large appropriations to protect adjacent lands from overflow by the Mississippi. and before many years we shall see heavy expenditures fer divertirs the Missouri for irriga ticn- Thus. in reality, the dawning oi the most important era. in the history Of that river is seen as the logical re- suit Of dropirg the fiction that it is useful for commerce.
 The report Of the committee on rivers and harbCrs presents some interesting statistics and data in support of the committees action in abandoning ef- forts and appropriations fer the Big Muddy oa q scale provided in former years
 When the Missouri river commission was created, in July 1884, the govern ment engineers and the friends oe river improvement had plans which they be- Iieved would, ii carried out, result il restoring the waning traffic on tho river. Two members of the com mission. at $25OO a year each, were sel ected from civil life and the Cthel members Of the body chosen from tn engineering force Of the war depart ment. With the first appropriation came the fight against he treachery O the river. which has been, since tn days of Lewis and Clark, marking ou it's own course through seven states changing it's channel in a night, wip
