later this dropped to $295,OOO. Since that
time about one saloon a year has been
added. until now the number is almost

1t is possible that in the near future
the state game and fish commission and
the forestry department will be amalga-

Certain senators and representatives of

be one of the subjects to receive careful

Presidept Roosevelt.

The September number of the World Work gives this estimate of the presi- dent and his first year as the chief ex- ecutive of the nation:
 MT. Roosevelt throughout his whole public life has been a shining mark for the wags and the cartoonists of the newspapers. He is unusually quick in mind and body. He is energetic be- yond the comprehension of most men who hold public office. He is incapable of idleness and impatient of slOwness in getting his routine done. And he Is fond of adventure. He hunts (and he hunts big game), he rides (and he rides hardD, he walks (and he walks fasD, and he indulges in all manly sports. He boxes. he rows. he swims, he wrestles. Worse than all-he talks (and he talks right out). Such a man in the glare of tho publicity that beats on the White House provokes more gossip about his energy than a dczen obese presidents. And he is sure to commit mistakes of speech and to violate many conventionalities.
 But there is difference between en- ergy-especially physical energy-and rashness. and he has never been a rash man in public action. He is by nature one of the most conservative eXecu- tives that ever filled high offices. For his mind is not imaginative nor con structive. It works best in the straight line of action. He does rot naturally turn to the making of new policies. He Is aptest to carrying out old ones. His temperament is executive rather than creative. He is not likely to try new things. He travels faster than other men. but he keeps on well-trav-. eled roads. Such man brings many things to pass, but he iS net rash. By nature he is conservative.
 The whole people have now come to know him and to know him well: for he conceaIs nothing. He lives and works in the public view. It used to be said of President Harrison that when one saw him close at hand he seemed larger than he seemed at a distance; and of President Cleveland that he was much more impressive at a distance than he was close at hand. President Roosevelt is the same, seen near or seen far. Frank. fearless. energetic, a sturdy gentleman" as President Eliot called him, and never rash.
 To have won the general confidence by a year of routine work is much. But he has done more than this: he has keyed the executive department of the government to niger pitch Of energy

An Iowa Popu1ist.

Many queer propositions have been raised in Kansas. and the end is not yet But it was left for Iowa to evolve a judicial problem of amOst startling character. A man who is described as "a wealthy farmer" and yet a pOpulist, has become obnoxious to his wife. She wants a divorce upon the ground that her husband only changes his shirt once in three weeks. and that he goes for thirty months without taking a bath.
 Being a wealthy farmer it is to be than one shirt. Now as to the bath, it is a different matter. Perhaps there was a drouth in his vicinity and water was more to be desired than cleanliness, or perhaps this farmer had conscientious scruples against too frequent bathing. It is a fact that certain prominent physicians" have declared that the American people bathe too much, and that it is dangerous to cleanse the skin too frequently. Yet beth of these com pldllilS iiliSAt DC diohiA0oN0 question if the woman had not added another plea to her application, name ly. that her husband abused her be- cause she is a republican and also he insists upon reading her extracts from populist papers-probably The Com moner as a steady diet.
 All of which reveals that there is a point at which the meekest oppressed woman will turn in her wrath. This Iowa woman has probably suffered in silence up to the present time, but fer bearance at least ceased to be vir- tue. Possibly she might have over- looked all the offenses of her husband except the fact that he was a populist, and this, too, while being a wealthy | farmer" This was too much. If the matter of the divorce was left to a ] vote of the people of Iowa this woman would get release on the one count which charges her husband with read ing her populist literature in these days of prosperity.

Time for Action.

An opportunity is now at hand for the people of this city and valley to take scme definite action toward the beginning of operations in the con struction of the Phoenix and Eastern railroad.
 For some months past committee of citizens has labored hard to secure the right of way from here to Mesa City and with fairly good success. Success has come slowly however, and there remains a considerable amount of money to be raised to in- sure the right of way; considerable, when the money itself is spoken of, but a very small amount when compared with the benefits that will follow i'm mediately cn the beginning of railroad work.
 It is understood that a number of business men will meet MT. Murphy at the Hotel Adams at 10 o'clock this morning to talk over the situation, he having intimated to some that if suf- ficient number of reliable citizens will undertake to guarantee the right of way or the balance of the cost, he will proceed at once to let contracts and start the work going. There should be a general attendance.
 The benefits that will follow the be- ginning of construction not next year, but at once, are so well understood that it is almost a waste of time and space to refer to them and yet it takes constant reiteration to keep people alive to their own interests.
 While recovering from a long period of drouth and pending the good things hoped for in the matter of water stor- age. the employment of some hundreds of men and teams in the valley the present fall and winter, means great sum of money in circulation at a time when other resources arc not as pro- ductive as could be desired. It means that this valley will have a temporary boom on that will last till the good re- suits of a completed road and the ma terializing of other enterprises are in evidence.
 There's a chance today to do some business.

commodity is considered with due re-
 gard for it's relative importance.
 According to the best authorities,
 wages are now at the highest point
 ever recorded. This general statement
 alone should suffice, since it is well
 known that prices are about on the
 same level as they were ten or twelve
 years ago, and consequently the con sumer is in a better position than dur
 ing previous times of prosperity. Hence comparison with the period of greatest
 Gepression is unfair, since it is probable
 that wages did not decline in the same
 ratio as prices. This brings uO the
 vital factor iH the discussion, which is
 overlooked by many in their efforts tD explain by figures wherein the wage Carner is now more prosperous. It
 was estimated by labor experts during the period Of industrial depression that the army oi unemployed numbered three millions. Today no one is idle
 who is willing % work. Even if the three millions who were idle at the earlier date now only average $1 a day, their percentage of increase is infnity. Instead of drawing out their little say ings. or being supported by other more
 fortunate workers, or living on the charity of phiIanthropists, this vast army is now self supporting and self respecting The worker who was then employed and shared his earnings with less successful relatives and friends is now able to spend such part of his in come as he pleases on his immediate family and add to the deposits in say ings banks.
 Nominally, wages may not average
 g Ter cent more than they were five years ago, although most kinds of skilled labor command 30 per cent more, and extensive reduction in hours has given more time for recreation. Tn this respect alone progress has been wonderful, especially in contrast with
 conditions ir Great Britain, where, aC- : cordinS to an official report just issued. , the average working time has de- i creased only ten minutes in nine years.
 Accthcr comparison has been made in I which it appears that the advertise mcpt5 for work outnumbered those
 seeking workers by more than two to ! one at the earlier date, whereas at the i present time there arc more positions than applicants. These are some O.: the ! things that indicate the condition of wage earner, and warrant quite as much consideration as sensational re

A Happy Re suit.

The most enthusiastic and harmoni- ous convention ever held by the repub- Iicans of Arizona ended it's labors yes terday afternoon by nominating the Hon. Robert E. Morrison for delegate to congress. The close vote by which the result was reached emphasized the fact that the delegates assembled found great difficulty in choosing between the two excellent men proposed for their ballots. As foreshadowed in these col umns yesterday, it was, indeed, a diff cult choice. And that the delegates, after having made up their minds how they would vote, held so tenaciously for | Morrison and Nichols respectively, proved that the entire convention was convinced of the eminent fitness of both. At any stage of the proceedings either candidate would have been will ling personally to yield the field to the other, but each of them having found that he had half of the convention resolutely behind him, was forced by all the ethics of loyalty to permit the l friendly issue to proceed to ballot ! The ballot concluded, there was no longer the semblance of a division. Every delegate then was an ardent Morrison man, and will remain so un- til the close of the polls on election day. The days splendid work was fit tingly crowned by a tender of the chairmanship of the territorial commit tee to Judge Nichols, and it is to be hoped he can so adjust his affairs as responsibility of managing the cam paign.
 The people of the territory, and least of all, the republican voters. will not be fooled by the frequently reiterated assertions of the democratic press that this or that faction" had something to do with the nomination of MT. Nor rison. There are no factions or "ele- ments" in the republican party of Ari- zona. It's leaders are united and work ing in absolute harmony, and it is as certain as fate that Bob Morrison will poll every republican vote in the territory.
 And Morrison will be elected.

CURRENT COMMENT
 Wages and Pr:c S

Many recent labor controversies have
 been based on the contention that wages have not risen as rapidly as
 prices. and that the worker is consc-
 quently justified in demanding better pay. If this hypothesis were sound it would be by nc means certain that wage eorncrs were entitled tc more money because the cost O. living had been enhanced, since much cf the rise in prices has been due to poor crops and the curtailment of production by other labor disputes. which certainly do not increase the net profits of employ
 CTS. But is t q fact that wages on the whole have not risen in proportion to the higher level of commodity prices Definite figures are available as to the latter. but it is obviously more difficult to obtain representative s-ct;stics of wages. According to Dun's index number the lise in the cost cf living fer tho five years ending with July l was 70 per cent. comparison being made between the lowest point on rec ord and the highest point of recent years.

that the cheapness of land makes it possible to produce wheat and flour at less cost than in Minnesota and the Dakotas. Millers of Minneapolis and St. Paul are anxious to get Canadian Wheat, and are advocating reciprocity with Canada with the idea of having the grain duty removed. This influx of Americans is proving of great benefit to Canadian development, especially in the line of capital. as the American set tiers are bringing millions with them into the country.

"A strike among government ofiica holders" remarks the Providence Jour nal, would be a novelty in this coun- try; indeed, it is not a common occur renee in any country. But in Aus tralia, where the domain of the govern ment has been extended much farther than with us, there is such q phcnome- non just now, the employees on the government railroads having abandone1 their work on account of dissatisfaction with their wages. As higher pay to them means heavier burdens on the taxpayers, the sympathy of the public is naturally not with the strikers. There is some comfort in the thought that an oficeholders' strike is not to be feared in this country; also some reason for content that we do not have government railroads to bother us with the details of management"
