THIS NEEDS INVESTIGATION.


A copy of the Lewiston, Pa.
Democrat of February 26th, ID
handed us by a friendof humani
ty, with the request that the fol
lowing article be reproduced te
show the readers of the west
what the eastern people think o.
the war of determination now
going on in the Philippines. Fol
lowing is the article:
/ The Philadelphia Ledger" is
a newspaper of recognized eau.
ton and conservatism in all it's
statements of facts, as in it's pro-
nounced policies. No Philadel-
lphian or Pennsylvania need be
told this, nor need many in the
country at large.
In November last the Ledger
printed a letter from it's special
correspondent in Manila. and
from it we quote this passage:
'"The present war is no blood
less fake, opera bouffe engage
ment, our men have been relent-
less, have killed to exterminate
men women, children, prisoners
and captives, active insurgents
and suspected people from lads
of ten up, an idea prevailing that
the Filipino, as such, was little
better than a dog, a noisome
reptile, whose best disposition
was the rubbish heap.
':Our soldiers have pumped
salt water into men to make
them talk have made prisoners
of people who held up their
hands and peacefully surrender
ed, and an hour later, without
an atom OF evidence to show
they were even insurrectos, stood
them on a bridge and shot them
down one by one, to drop into
the water below and float down
as examples to those who found
their bullet-loaded corpses."
The above words, if false,
should never have appeared in
the "Ledger." If true, all, we
think, will agree with us when
we say, the fullest light should
see thrown on the awful truth
they contain. When did our
troops kill to exterminate men
women and children, or stand
suspected persons ona bridge to
shoot them down one by one?
Under what military authority
was this done? Who is respon-
sible for it? These are questions
which concern Secretary Root,
and President Roosevelt. They
concern all good Americans as
well as those directly in author
ity. We have taken pains to in
quire as to the responsibility Of
the correspondent who wrote
this letter. We find the guaran-
tee not only that the correspon-
dent was reliable but that there
was an eminently high and hui
name motive which dicta ted the
letter. These statements of fact
demand a most searching inves-

ANOTHER good thing that can
be said of Grover Cleveland:
During the eight years he was

Those interested in the welfare of the public schools of Bisbee will be pleased to have an opportunity of re- electing H. Nj. Woods as trustee of this district. He has served the peo- pie. the children and the school in- terests we'll during his term, which is just closing. During MT. Woods term as trustee the city schools have made marvellous progress. Several new rooms have ben added to the school buildings and without e single cent of cost to the taxpayers of the dis trict. The management of our schools have never been in better hands than now. nor the progress of the children so good. The present board of trus- tees has done its work well. Those intersted in the continuance of these satisfactory conditions do not wish to see these conditions disturbed, and have urged Mir. Woods to again ac- cept the position at the hands of the electors of the district He should be elcted by a unanimous vote, as . rec ognition of services well performed during his past term.

NOVEL TELEPHONE SUIT.

Telephone subscribers all over the United States will be interested in the outcome of a novel suit which is re- ported to have been instituted in Whatcom, Wash, and which, if sue cessful. promises to furnish the courts with litigation enough to keep them busy for the next ten years. A busi- ness man of Whatcom, whose pa tience had been exhausted by the dila- torness of the telephone operators, has filed suit against the local company to recover for the time lost in his efforts to get central" ,
 In his complaint the suffering sub- scriber says that at various times he has lost from ten to fifteen minutes while waiting for switches. This, he maintains, is not prompt and efficient service, such as Is promised by the eompany. in it's contract, and he, there fore, thinks that he should be com pensated for such lost time at fair valuation.
  eral interesting questions will be rais- ed. The telephone company doubtless will hold that the service furnished is within the limits of the contract, and then the words prompt and efficient" will have to be determined. This is . matter on which hardly two men will agree, for the reason that what is prompt and efficient service for one man under. certain conditions, would be denounced as utterly inef- acient by. another according to the urgency of the call
 But If nothing else comes to the suit, it will demonstrate to the telephone company that if the patience of . subscriber is imposed on too long he vill turn, 1t least, and that additional expnss win be entailed upon the cor poration in defending ftself against at tacks in the courts For ths reason 1t is hoped that the case will come to trial. u is conceded that all the blame for poor service does not neces- sar1ly rest upon the company, neither is the subscriber always at fault, and in order that the rights and privileges of each party to the contract may be defined it will be goo dthing to have a5udiciai opinion upon .. subject which is of % much interest to the whole D00D3a rar cl . v.

The annunocement received here this week in a letter from Hon. M. A. Smith that in all probability he will the. next Democratic convention, will the next Demicratic convention. will be received with keen qualification by the rank and file of the Demo cratic party in this county. A glance at the election returns from this coun- ty for the past eight years is the best evidence of the prosperity of Arizona's 6 delegate in his old home county. Mark Smith can carry every county he car ried before with an increased majori- ty. Can any other aspirant say e much?

RAILROAD TAX EXEMPTION IN NORTHERN ARIZONA.

At present the boards of supervisors in the counties of Apache. Navajo. Coconino, Yayapai and Mohaye are seriously considering the manner of placing the Santa Fe and Pacific rail road company upon the assessment roll of those respective counties. The railroad company maintains the posi- ton that its property is not subject to taxation under the revenue laws of the territory but has agreed to pay taxes at the rate of s175 per mile.
 The latter offer would amount in Coconino county to over $lS,000 per annum, and would be very liberal upon the company's part were it ex- empt by law from the operation of the general revenue laws of the territory and at liberty to dictate what valua- tion should be placed upon Its prop srty for purposes of taxation and the the rate to be levied thereon. But we understand the offer is accompanied by the proposition that this amount shall be fixed in the act of congress so as to afford the company protection against the payment of any greater amount under the operation of the general revenue laws of the territory.
 The entire question hinges on the sale of the Atlantic and Pacific to the Santa Fe and Pacific. whether or not this sale carried with it the tax ex- emption privileges formerly enjoyed by the Atlantic and Pacific. .
 The boards of supervisors of the counties mentioned have decided to petition the territorial board of equal ization to place the Santa Fe and Pa cific on the assessment roll of the sev- eral counties the same as any other property.
 The exemption was originally given to the A. & P. R. R. Co. in considera- tion of the benefits that would accrue to the public through the construction of the road and as an inducement to the company to undertake it's. con struction. When the original compa- ny became insolvent and its property was ordered sold under a decree of foreclosure no valid reason could ex- ist for conferring the exemption upon the purchasers. They were strangers to the original contract; the road was constructed by the old company. and must be operated by the new one for it's own benefit, entirely irrespec- tive cf any public benefit arising therefrom. If congress had granted the exemption to the purchasers in ex- plicit terms the act would have been without any consideration whatever moving from the benefciaries to either the government or the public It would have been obviously injuri- ous to the territories affected and borne the stamp of corruption upon its face.
 The withholding of the Santa Fe and Pacific property from taxation will be a serious blow to the northern counties If successful The boards of supervisors are watching the situation closely.
