THE LIGHT QUESTION SETTLED.

We believe, that on the whole the
Mayor and city council of Tucson acted
with commendable wisdom last night
in entering into an arrangement with
the Electric Light Company for the
lighting of the city
The agreement to grant new fran
chise is to all intents and purposes but
an extension Of the old franchise, and
the interests of the city were carefully
safeguarded in that instrument. Ihe
proposal OF the Electric Light Com
pany for the lighting of the city was
reasonable and just, and the determin-
alton to enter into a contract with the
company for five years was prudent
and liberal.
This is a much better solution OF the
lighting problem. for the present at
least, than the more or less chimerical
idea of setting up a municipal lighting
plant. The public ownership OF pub
lie utilities" Is a sonorous phrase that
makes the average politician ana
spokesman feel good to work off. To
the politician it conveys the idea OF
more jobs and more public plunder,
but to the taxpayer it invariably means
more extortion, more waste of reye-
nues, and a poorer service.
! It now remains for the city to en-
force the contract strictly, and see to
it that the Electric Light Company
does not exercise its valuable privilege
entirely for its own benefit and re-
gardIess OF the comfort and conyen-
fence of the people.

ROGERS! HE'S ALL RIGHT!

Bosh. bgosh, Likewise go to VINO
started the rumor that that splendid
red-hpaded Democrat, Col Rogers OF
Prescott. had been taken into the
| Roosevelt corral? Danish the thought:
begone the base nsinuation. Rogers is
not built that way. AS well try to
obhterate the Hassayampa from the
map of Arizona as to remove the
sturdy form of Rogers from the ranks
of fighting Democrats.
The report was an invention Of the
enemy. 1t shows the audacious ideas of
the Republicans in these strenuous
days 1t was base slander on Rogers,
but SANDER like death loves shining
mark. Republican jags were too pre-
vious. There was not sober hepubli-
can in Southern Arizona an hour after
the base news had been rushed over
the telephone. Today they are nursing
headaches and trying to decide
whether remorse is not preferable to
regret.
But why should the diabolical dis
seminator of false information pick
out Rogers? Why didn't he select some
one who would not strain the credulity
OF the people Rogers was not Rough
Rider nor did he ever preside over a
faro table He doesn't diet on gin and
preach prohibition. He doesn't lie and
cheat and pray aloud in church. he has
none of the elements that would make
an eligible candidate for the Republ-
can recruiting sergeant
The report gave us bad half hour
or two, but the reaction was splenn.d.
Rogers will, we know, forgive us Ior
succumbing to the subtle poison fol
even a few brief moments; and we viii
promise him to smash an adobe or

dicular Arkansas traveller crosses ou1
hawser.

THE SUGAR, PIGS.

Mr.. Henry T. Oxnard. the Presl-
dent of the American Beet Sugar com
many who resides in California wheh
at home. and sojourns in Washington
when Congress is in session, proposes
that the American taxpayers pay
bounty of 81, 400. 900 to the Cuban sugar
growers. This bonus is in lieu OF the
privilege to enter the American mar
ket and compete with the sugar grow
ers and refners of this country Tor
the trade of our people.
Mr.. Oxnard and his associates desire
IN hold a monopoly of the American
market so that they can control the
Drice of sugar and extort $75,OOO.0O0
a wear more from the American con-
sumers than sugar can and ought to be
sold for at a fair profit.
But why go to the trouble and red
tame twisting of giving a bounty to the
Cubans? Why not give the 4ooooo
direct to Mr.. Oxnard, and let the
Cubans sell their sugar to our people
at what they can get for 1t? IL Is the
same thing to the taxpayer. The bounty
is for the benefit Of Oxnard ana
Spreckles and Jneir associates, ana why
not give it to them direct instead OF
pretending to give it to the Cubans!
This is the way of it: Mr.. OXnard is
onposed to any reduction of the duty
on Cuban sugar He is willing. how
ever that the Cubans shall live. lie
proposes that law be passed by Con-
gress giving the Cuban sugar planters
n bounty of half a cent pound on
their product This plan would help
Mr.. Oxnard and at the same time II
would be good for the Cubans But tht
scheme would require a lot of book
keeping and would entail a pile o.
trouble. BY giving Oxnard the $6,4O0,
600 direct and the Cubans access tC
the American market all parties wouit
be satisfied.
What difference does it make to the
+axnayer who robs him? If Republi-
can favoritism is to be continued and
special interests fattened at the eX-
pense of the people why beat the devIi
about the bush and pretend that some
body is being numbugged? Inc bounty
proposition fools nobody II the tax
payers must cough up more pIunder
for the sugar barons, let them have it
direct. But why didn't OXnard ask for
a bounty of a cent pound? Couldn't
he get $12 100000 from his Republican
friends in Congress just as easy as
ST. 400. 900? We marvel at OXnard's
moderation.

THE FIGHT WITH THE DEVIL,

The Rev. Merton Smith contest with
the Tucson devil goes on without re-
taxation The evangelist feels good and
the devil comes up smiling at every
round. Both the evangelist and the
devil keep in good form and neither
seems to be seriously hurt up to date
We observe that the Rev. evangelist
is not disposed to hit below the belt.
1t is usually the custom of evangelists
to attack the devils wagon trains and
attempt to destroy his commissacy
department. But Mr. Smiths attack is
frontal He has not yet made a fanl,
movement on the enemy.
1t is well known that the deT!l gen
orally keeps his army in good humor
by catering to the thirst of his follow
crs. Has Smith ATTACKED the eX-
cpptional, remarkable. ne plus ultra
thirst of Tucson? Not a bit of it. The
evangelist is too able a strateEi3r tc
arouse the dormant activities Of tho
devil until az Is ready 10 maze lIo
final charge. Or. perhaps. MIR. smith
does not regard the saloons as Tho
recruiting stations of the devil, as
other cvangelists do. Mr.. Smith IS Z
Scotchman and his cOuntrymtl are
noted for their glorious thirst. Scotch
men, as a rule, are intensely pious toe
and take their religion very soihmnly
The Scotch thirst might be explained
on the ground that Scotland la5 a.
worst climate. the most disaGreeabl
religion and the best whisky in tn
world The Scotch do not rcEar'
whisky as the devils kndling wood
But why doesn't Mr.. Smith com
promise? We can imagine his embar
rasment in attacking whisky. but ther

TROUBLES OF BUSINESS MEN.

Letters.

"Many people write letters that

ca hut not often Of course, only
small percentage of such letters are

total number must hr very large
..If the name of the writer is on
the envelope or lrtter-head the lack
of a signature is Of less consequence,
But it happens frequently that inn
portant letters cannot be traced to
the writer's.
"a certain business house in this
city brought in a letter one day,
minus the signature. and containing
a tcn-dullar bin to pay for certain
goods ordered. 1t came from a vii
tage in the interior of the state. and
il was sent TO the postmaster OF the
place. with the request that ne as

matter rested for some time. One
day we received letter from the

writer had sent the firm money for
an order of goods and had received
no reply. IT turned out to be the
