Fl Paso complains of an epidemic of burglaries in that city.
 A great many newspapers of the country think that Rev. Charles Parkhurst is right in his theory that all souls are not immortal. They argue that the man who fails to pay for his newspaper is possessed oi such a shriveled-up soul that there is no room for the immortal principle in it.
 With the removal of the Phelps, Dodge & Co.'S shelter to Douglas, and a smelter being talked of at Ben son, Fl Paso is getting somewhat nervous lest she will lose a large pro- portion of the ore which has formerly come to that place for treatment. Both of the above plants would come into active competition with Fl Paso Patterson, New Jersey, had a Sl0,- 00,O00 fire the other day. Included in the list were a number of churches, banks, hotels, newspapers and busi- ness houses by the scores. If only the nest of anarchists which infest that place has been destroyed by the flames the terrible calamity to the town may be accompanied with q blessing.
 When President Roosevelt ap- pointed Daniels as marshal of Arizona our contemporary announced that he had to go into the ranks of the demo cratic party to find good man. In its issue this morning it publishes a biographical sketch of Daniels, from which it can be learned what con stitutes a good man and good demo crat (presumably) also from its point of view.
 General Miles is in error when he declares that the location of military posts near large cities is an obvious menace to organized labor. Perhaps the distinguished soldier thinks he is complimentary to labor; but he is not. What legitimate rights or inter ests of labor, organized or morgan ized, could be menaced by the prox- imity of United States soldiers, whose chief commander is at present Gen. eral Miles7 The army has two fac tions. It is an establishment for the defense of the nation against foreign powers and for the preservation of peace at home. It is rarely needed as an instrument to restore internal order, but as such its logical place is near the large centers of population where serious disturbances are likely to arise. To say that such proximity is menace to organized labor is to imply that such organizations are inimical to civic peace.
 Wickenburg has young Carnegie in the person of Dick Hall, editor of the Wickenburg News. Since start ing in the newspaper business in Wickenburg last August, Dick has been making money so rapidly that it has taxed his ingenuity to get ris of it as rapidly as it has rolled into his coffers. To cap the climax he re- gently located a mining claim a short distance from the town and com menced development work on it. The ore body widened so rapidly as depth was attained, and the ore kept in creasing in value with each foot of development so rapidly that when a depth of twenty feet was reached he closed down temporarily to make some mathematical calculations. These showed that if he kept on sink ing, and the ore kept getting richer in the same proportion that it had during the twenty feet from the sur face, that even the stell trust would not have money enough to pay a fair price for the mine. It was then that in imitation of Carnegie, Richard commenced to dispose of his rapidly accommodating fortune and made an offer to the town of WickenbuTg to furnish a building furnished and suitable for free lIbrary and reading room conditioned that Wickenburg will subscribe S5)2 to b, I;eI in the construction of the building. That the enterprisiag citizens 1f the town will make this subscription goe- with out saving, anl tho Dick Hall Library" is practicable gsSIred.
