MARX SMITHS RETURN.

A telegram from Hon. Mark Smith
TO the editor of The Citizen states that
he will arrive in Tucson on Sunday
next, and twill be ready for any ap-
pointment the committee may make. !"
This will cheer the Democracy OF
Arizona. Mark Smith is the leader
of the party, and when the leader is
present in person the forces fight with
more enthusiasm and effect. Mr..
Smith passed the Statehood bill
through the hostile House OF Repre-
sentatives. Through his efforts, and
his influence with the Democrats of
the Senate, it stands in fair way OF
becoming law early next winter.
Mr.. Smiths services to Arizona have
been distinguished and faithful. His
welcome home should be marked and
warm. His coming will be splendid
tonic to the already robust and hopeful
Democracy.

THE BANKS AND SHAW.

There is some reason to think that
Secretary Shaw's declaration, that the
national banks might not violate the
law by using the reserves held against
government deposits, averted a trust
panic. Mr.. Ridgely, the comptroller
of the currency, did not altogether ap-
prove of the action, and it is reported
that J. P Morgan said:
Mr.. Ridgely, if the Secretary of the
Treasury had not come to the rescue of
the money market in exactly the man.
ner he did, this day Wiuld have been
one of the most disastrous in the his
tory of the country, and it would have
been a day that he would not have for
gotten if he had lived to be 100 years
old.
The crisis was due to the tremendous
issue of trust securities, amounting to
over $6,000,000,000 and the fact that
what are called the leading New York
banks have been backing spectators
who were dealing in them. This is
IAC 1CoA CApl0hoIAOh VI SAlC 0AAAGAAGy ,
and the talk about needing money to
move crops is merely the periodical
humbug that is given out to the coun-
try. The banks were hard pressed, as
they had been for several weeks pre-
viously, Notwithstanding the large de-
posits of government funds that have
been placed with them.
This condition has been foreseen by
thoughtful business men for some
time, and attention has been called to
it repeatedly, though not SO often as
the dangers to the trusts themselves
have been mentioned. Republican pa
pers and speakers commonly assure
the public that the trusts will break
up if left to themselves, but they do
not mention the fact that if any large
number Of them break up at the same
time the almost inevitable effect will
be to precipitate a general panic and
financial stringency.

NOT A PARTY QUESTION.

It is impossible to make party issue
out of the question of electing United
States Senators by direct vote of the
people instead of by State legislatures.
The action upon that subject in Con-
gress has not been ON party lines. Re-
publican Houses Of Representatives
have repeatedly passed the proposed
amendment with practical unanimity.
1t has thus far failed, and will, we
trust, continue to fail, in the Senate,
but the opposition in that body is not
confined to one party. We observe,
however, that many Democratic State
conventions this year have snuggled
up to it with great cordiality. The
Connecticut Democrats strike out for
it Inc their platform with boldness and
precision.
The chief objection to the plan which
the fathers provided is that there have
been scandals in legislative elections of
Senators. That allegation is true. But
the proposed remedy would be fail
ure. Corruption of State convention
would not be more, and would proba-
bly, be less, difficult than corruption OF
a legislature. The Denver Post pro-
poses a practical expedient that would
be efficient Senators are nominated
and practically elected by the caucus
of the dominant party. There is where
the rascality is found, and it is made
easy by secret ballot The Post
says truly that while the secret ballot
is the right of each individual voter,
yet the open ballot is what every voter
has the right to demand from any
man whom he delegates to vote for
him.
That is the best suggestion that has
ever been submitted on this vexed
question. Let the legislators In eau

PREACHERS As DETECTIVES.

In the effete east Stunning parties"
are frequently considered to be the
correct thing for those who are not
overworked. Members of the -Four
Hundred have engaged in this Ques-
tionable recreation, it is said, when
time hung heavily on their hands, and
no other diversion was available. Re-
form clergymen who were trying to ell
evate politics have unselfshly and
heroically visited the slums and "gild-
ed palaces Of vice. in order to gather
campaign material. "A prominent New
York minister made a great reputation
as a sleuth few years ago, and also
made himself the target Of very torrid
criticism on the part OF persons who
thought ministers of the Gospel ought
not to do detective work in places
tabooed by fastidious laymen.

niciously active in the east at present

RAISING complications in towns of mod
est size. For instance, the ministers
of Hastings, Nebraska, a rather small
community, recently organized them
selves into band of reform sleuths
and went out by night to spy upon the
wickedness of that town. According
to an Omaha dispatch, their detective
work, while a brilliant success from
one point of view, has caused rather
strained relations between the Sher-
lock Holmes of the pulpit and those
who attended their churches. The
Hastings clergymen, it appears, sus-
pected that the town in which they
labored was not as moral as it should
be. So they determined to carry the
war into Satan's territory. We are
indebted to the Denver News for the
following succinct account of their
raid:
With guide the party visited gam
bling rooms located above the Midway

and tley rushed across the threshold
they suddenly stopped and held up
their hands in horror. There, grouped
around the green cloth. their own dea-
cons and pillars Of the church were
eagerly feeding ivory chips to pot in
the middle. Rev. Mr.. Bowman states
that the ministers have agreed to stand
by each other and fight the thing to a
finish, even if they lose every member
of their respective churches.
These are days of humiliation and
anguish of spirit for the guileful "dea-
cons" and pillars of the church" in
Hastings. They have been unmasked
and held up to the scorn and derision
of the ungodly. In many pulpits they
viii be exhibited as horrible exam
p1es' Of mans frailty. They will fig
ure in many sermons as ''whited sep
u1chers." Having vindicated honesty
and godlfness, the Hastings clergy will
cry aloud and spare not the erring
"deacons" who love the poker chips not
wisely but too well.
Pillars of the church" in the west
will be apt to be more cautious in f,l-
ture. They will not engage the SER
vices of parsons who make midnight
raids on gambling houses. They may
stick to their "chips," but they will
insist that the parson stick to his pull
pit, or be considerate enough to notify
them in advance when he is "going-a-
Summing" Western ''deacons" have
rights which the clergy must respect.

THE RULE OF THE ROAD.

Tucson should be up with the times
in everything, but it never will be un-
til its people walk to the right. Every
one should make a rule not to walk to
the left. Or all over, the sidewalk or
store. This you may do without cre-
ating public inconvenience in Podunk
or Scrubville, but not in the central
streets of this busy city, where the
sidewalks are narrow and in the day
time generally crowded.
1t is the belief of close observers
that the number of people in our CEN
trail business streets is now double the
number that walked in them four
years ago. The number is hopefully
and perceptibly increasing year by
year, and the small-town habit of
walking where one listeth should be
given up.
1t is easy for large numbers to get
along comfortably in crowded places
If they will but observe the rule
keep to the right. Always remember
when in multitude that all have COM
mon public rights, and that the conve-
nience and comfort of all is best sub
served by always keeping to the right.
If all in a crowded store will always
keep to the right, no one will be dis
commoded to any great extent. And SO
it is in the street, which is ofttimes as
crowded as store or theater.
Those who walk to the left, and
especially those who walk where they
please, not only create discomfort for
themselves, but they infringe the rights
of others.
This small-town habit of walking to
the left should be overcome. 1t can
not be exactly Suppressed in an instant
by the police or public opinion. 1t
must come from experience, from NOR
al suasion, from close observation. A
good many bumps may be necessary in
order to bring it about, and the bumps
will be forthcoming in this town, and
the sooner we begin to walk to the
right as a community, the fewer bumps
we will get

solemnity put out of countenance the

The custom Of showing the flag at

sea of showing the pre-eminence one
ship had. over the other in time of war

lower It's flag. while the victor's would
be raised as high as possible In exul-
