Modern Warships Must Not Rust in
IdIeness. Even I'm Peace.
Haverhill, Mass, Aug. 26.-President
Roosevelt was greeted here by crowd
which packed the route through which
he was driven from the station to
washington Square, where he deliver
ed a twenty minute address, and filed
all available space around the stand
from which he spoke. This being the
home of Secretary of the Navy Moody,
the President devoted his remarks to
the navy. He said
! 1.-THE entire country is vitality inter-
ested in the navy, because an efficient
navy of an adequate size is not only
the best guarantee of peace, but it is
also the surest means for seeing that
if war does come the result shall be
honorable to our good name and fav-
orable to our national interests.
Nations Sacred Honor.
amy real great nation must be Pc
culiarly sensitive to two things: stain
on the national honor at home and
disgrace to the national arms abroad.
Our honor at home. our honor in do
nestle and international affairs is at
all times in our own keeping and de-
ponds simply upon the national pos
session of an awakened public con-
science. But the only way to make
safe our honor as affected, not by our
own deeds, but by the deeds of 9TH
ers. is by readiness in advance.
1--WE must constantly endeaVor to
perfect our navy in all it's duties in
time of peace, and above all. in man
euvering in a seaway and in marks
manship with the great guns.In battle.
the only shots that count are those
that hit, and craftsmanship is a mat
ter of long practice and of intelligent
range.
"a navys efficiency in a war de-
ponds mainly upon its preparedness
to be excused as a nation if there is
not such preparedness of our navy
No nation has a right to undertake a
big task unless it is prepared to do it
in masterful and effective style.
Words Made Good by Deeds.
1T would be an intolerable humilia-
ton for US to embark on such
course of action as followed from our
declaration of war with Spain and not
make good our words by deeds-not
be ready to prove our truth by cur en-
deavor whenever the need comes.
THE good work of building up the
navy must go on without ceasing. The
modern warship cannot with advan-
tage be allowed to rust in disuse. 1t
must be used up in active service,
even in time of peace This means
that there must be a constant replace
ment of the ineffective by the effec-
tive. The work of building up and
keeping up our navy is therefore one
which needs our constant and unf1ag-
ging vigilance"

John Robinson, an inmate of the
 county jail, was adjudged insane in the
 Probate court on Monday. He is a
 young man, only ? years of age. He
 is rational a part of the time but when
 the insane moments are upon him he
 he is liable to do himself or some one
 else injury. He was taken to the ter
 ritorial insane asylum on Tuesday by
 Deputy Sheriff R. J. Walker.
 w. F. Dermont, manager of the Sagi- nav & Manistee Lumber Company, and
 Wm. Weute, one of the directors of the company, from Saginaw, Mich., were in
 town Monday. They paid the taxes of the Saginaw-Manistee Lumber Con- pany, at @ valuation of $2.5O per acre, amounting to $ll,8OO. They made no objection to the rate and believed it to be a fair one as between the county and the company.
 The time is rapidly approaching when the two political parties of Coco nino county will nominate candidates for the various county offices, and some of the candidates for these offices have been already selected by their parties, and the selection only awaits the con- firmation of the convention. Among those that are fortunate enough to re- tain the confidence of the voters of the county is Harry c. Hibten, the present efficient county recorder. During his term of office Mir. Hibben has been attentive to the duties of his office, and he has made himself thoroughly famil- far with the condition of the county finances and with the detail work of the combined offices which he fills. He has at all times put forth his best efforts for the good of the county, and in this connection he has by his business methods saved the taxpayers many dollars. The records of his office show the work done, and this alone should entitle him to the fair consideration of the voter and taxpayer. There is little doubt but that Mir. Hibben will receive a renomination by his party, as the Re- publican party believes in rewarding a faithful and competent official. That he will be endorsed by the taxpayers on election day is regarded as a cer- tainty,

The Law Vnoons.,tutson>i.


 The application of the Santa Fe Pa cific railroad, Jacob Seligman, trustee, the Aztec Land & Cattle Company, for writs of injunction restraining the as- sessors of Coconino, Mohave, Navajo, Apache and Yavapai counties from assessing the lands of the plaintiffs at seventy-fve cents per acre, as required by the act of the last legislature, was heard in Prescott on Saturday last be- fore Judge R. E. Sloan. Messrs. Sterry and Norton represented the railroad company and the trustee, and Edward M. Doe the Aztec Land x Cattle Com- pany.
 The counties interested were repre- sented by their respective district at- torneys, with the exception of Navajo, which was represented by E. s. Clark. After the argument by the attorneys Judge Sloan announced that in his opinion the law was clearly unconstitu. tiOnal.
