WHEN A QUESTION Is SETTLED

Our imperial contemporary, the Re
publican of Phoenix. cackles eheeTfn!ly
over the assumption that our retention
of the Philippines is settled. AS
usual, the Republican trails up behind
the members of its class. Two years
ago President Mckinley said 1t was
settled" We have also had nu-
merouS other assurances, such as thar
the rebellion" was ended. the islands
were pacified, the people were desirous
of American rule, and SO forth
1t is one of the peculiarities of the
human race that nothing is ever settled
until it is settled right. Things often
seem to be settled wrong. but they do
not stay settled And this is as true
of this country as of any other Just
think how often the slavery question
was settled in this country. How
frequently it was removed as a dis
turbing factor from our politics. But
it was never settled in fact until it was
ended. and it will be the same way
with any other moral question
There is not merely a moral ele-
ment" in this country, but there is an
element of morality that is universal
There is sentiment of justice and hon
esty in the American people that can
never be eradicated They may be
deceived and misled. but they mean to
do what is right Sometimes il takes
a long time to make them see the evil
of a system but it dawns On them
sooner or later. AS Lincoln said
You can fool part of the people all the
time, and you can fool all of the peo
pie part of the time, but you can moi
fool all the people all the time"
And 1t may be accepted as certain
that the American people will neither
justify Lolding a people in subsection,
nor ,aughtering them because they
will not subjugate. They are loyal,
hut they will NOT make the mistake Of
making loyalty cover crime. They
honor the soldier who fights for his
country. but they will not mistake a
brute for patriot. They want what
belongs to them but they will not
claim stolen property. There are linn
it's, and when the Philippine question
is settled there will not be any moral
stain remaining from it

Sledge Dogs.

Apart from the great use that the
sledge dogs were to us for pulling pur-
noses. they made wonderful compan-
ions in the solitude of the far south.
Already early In the expedition had
presented to each Of the members a
dog, aud great affection arose be-
tween the masters and their dumb
companions. Members often retired to
some quiet corner. petting their favor
ite dogs. The lives, the struggles and
the sufferings OF the dogs helped TO
take the members out Of themselves
and thus assisted materially the COM
mon welfare OF our small community.
In the cold time the dogs killed each
other. Suddenly the whole pack or ~
seemed TO agree upon killing one OF
their number. For days they watched
for an opportunity. and the unfortu'
nate and doomed dog seemed at once to
realize that sentence of death had been
passed. He sought refuge with us and
would never go far away from camp
until one day for moment he might
forget himself. The dogs would then
rush upon him and tear him into pieces

BAD MAIL SERVICE.

1t is the intention OF the United
States government that the city of
Tucson should receive reasonable and
proper mail facilities. But it is plain to
frequently treated as If they had no
rights that the postal officials felt
bound to respect.
The eastern mail for this town is
twenty four hours late from one-third
to half the time. This is the fault of
somebody. We feel certain that 1t is
not the intention of the government
that Tucson should be neglected, or
treated with contempt We do not be-
leve it is the fault of the postmaster

promptly report the remissness

department should be notified II 1t

their dereliction ought to be made
known to their official superiors.
AT any rate. the people of Tucson
should no longer tolerate the neglect or
abuse with forgiving silence. II the
postmaster does not take steps to
remedy the matter, the people should
make complaint. 1t is the aim of the
Postoffice Department TO render the
people efficient service, and the people
of Tucson should not submit to the

their public servants.

had before taken place between the

Mayor Jones Spies It Out and an
Officer Breaks It Up.
BOYS THROW DICE FOR APPLES
The old Man Who Supplied the Para
phernalia Forced to Close Up
and 'tMove On"

AS "Teddy" Roosevelt walked along the
Bowery when correcting Tammany abuses
in New York city, his comprehensive
glance hardly had a wider range or more
searching vision than; that Of Acting
Mayor Jones just at present. He sees
things that the average citizen of Min
neapolis heedlessly passes by. :
Mr.. Jones saw one of these sights
yesterday. Next to a museum ON Wash
ington avenue, near First avenue S, he
was surprised to see al old man openly
conducting a juvenile school of gambling.
Apparently he had been afforded immuni-
ty from police interference so long that
he no longer had the slightest fear OF mo-
lestation from that source. He made no
attempt at concea1ment.
A crowd Of street urchins, all Of tender
age, were clustered thick about a table
back of which stood the bald and aged
sinner.
The attraction was dice box provided
by the man and the youngsters were so
absorbed in the game that they paid no
attention to the head Of government IN
Minneapolis as The stepped up close to the
table, an interested spectator Of what was
going on. Apples we're at stake, but 1t
was clear gambling for all that.
When the mayor turned his steps to-
ward the city hall he had grmly resolved
that one more gambling establishment in
Minneapolis should be closed up. Ten
minutes later burly bluecoat ordered
the man who furnished the dice and sold
the stakes to move on and keep moving.
The fellow wasn't to be put off SO easily.
He even questioned the right Of the Off
Ger to compel him to move. He called up
A. H. Hall, the attorney, and asked his
advice. He was promptly told that the
game was. clearly species Of gambling
and, as such, subject to the law against
games of chance.
: To make sure, Mr.. Hall called up Mr..
Jones and secured an official ruling. He
was informed incidentally that If the Of
fender was caught at the business again
he would be prosecuted to the fullest ex-
tent of the law. He was a minus quan-
tity to-day
