THE BAGGAGE sMAsHER.

The baggage -smasher has been abus- ed by nearly every person who has been anywhere. He has characterized as villainous creature who takes de- light in running trunks and their con tents. He has been held up to scorn by the satirists of the stage, and the man who makes funny paragraphs for the newspaper has preyed upon him. But now comes one of the despised craft to defend himself in the columns Of Philadelphia paper. He is dis passionate and reasonable. He makes no particular plea for his fellows. He does not say that they are better thar others, and does not even resort to the old gag" that they are more sinned against than shining" He merely suggests. He seems to understand that the travelling public has its an- noyances. but believes the remedy is in its own hands.
 Carry smaller and stronger trunks says the baggageman. He does not even admit that baggage could be han dled more carefully, but calls attention to the raDidity with which it must be transferred at times from one track to another or from one station to an othec. He is quite candid as far as he goes. but he might. perhaps, have gone a little farther along the lines of per fectly natural manifestations or hu- man nature. He might have said that excessively large and heavy trunks excite the animosity of those who are obliged to struggle with them, and 1T there is any discrimination it is against the big pieces. It would be unnatural for the baggage man not to do some thing occasionally to discourage tha use of huge trunks.
 This advice is pretty sound It might be followed by the additional suggestion that most people who go on journeys take about twice as muci,

''The friends of Mark Smith are always pleased when the enemies of Arizona attack him. The Los Angeles Times is the most specially vindictive of Arizona's enemies. The abuse of | the Los Angeles Times is a decoration that any honest and patriotic Arizon- ian should covet. Mark Smith has seryed Arizona well and long. He en- joys the confidence of the people of Arizona because he earned it. There never has been time when he was not true to Arizona: never was a time, in or out of office, when his great ability, his potent influence and the full meas ure of his energy were not at the ser vice Of Arizona.
 His record speaks for itself and needs no defense. When enemies oi Arizona like the Los Angeles Times and mental weddings like the Tucson and Phoenix papers quoted by the Times, attack MT.

Congress certainly should relieve Pima county from the payment of the fraudulent debt The bonds in question had been issued through some hocus- pocus arrange ment with the county officials. for railroad that was never built. The county refused to recognize the valid ity of the obligation, and the supreme court of the United States declared the bonds invalid. Subsequently. con gress unwittingly and unintentionaliy made the bonds legal debt by a spec ial enactment. The bill was intro duced bq Delegate Murphy in response to the unanimous request of the ter ritorial legislature. and was intended solely to validate certain bonds issued by Yavapai county. the legitimacy of which nobody could question. Neither MT. Murphy nor any other member of congress had the remotest idea that this special bill would revive the de- funct and malodorous Pime county bonds, but that was the effect of it, according to decisions of the court thereafter rendered. A more iniquit- ous debt was never saddled upon any people. Congress was legislating for q ward of the nation, and not withstand ing it's good intentions it subjected a frontier county to an outrageous i'm position. It IS but just that these good intentions be now made manifest by relief legislation. The debt should be assumed by the general government.

Senator CockreIl's Independence.

They can lead your Uncle Francis Marion Cockreil into a democratic caucus, but they cannot make him abide by it's decisions. So much was made plain. to the delight of mankind at Washington on Tuesday.
 Although his democracy is never sub ject to question. the senior senator from Missouri is the most independent member of the United States senate Perhaps his scorn of the party whip is partly due to his serene confidence knowledge, even-that he will be sus- whatever he does; but in the main his freedom of action springs from his own independence of thought and honesty of conviction. If satisfied that he is right. the old man cares nothing for all the opposition that any party can muster. And this very independ- ence bars Cockrell from his partys presidential nomination, were there no other objection to him. This fact is Illustrated by little piece of late news 4 few days ago, somebody in one of the senate cloakrooms happened to say Do you know there is a strong feel ing in the country for Cockrell for president?' Which party?" five or six senators asked. in chorus
 Senator Cockrell has attained DOS ition which few men in public life are privileged to reach. Although he has been in politics for thirty years. and in office most of that time. he has won the admiration of the whole country, and enjoys the affection of his fellow members, republican and democratic alike.

remedy that has been tried with suc- cess. Each year the percentage of
 assertions in both the army and the navy increases, and the navy depart ment is confronted with a serious prob lem in attempting to provide forces sufficient to man the new battleShips that are being constructed.
 In reviewing the situation Secretary Moody calls attention to the discon- tent of the men with the character of the food supply their grumbling over the lack of shore leaves, and the over
 bearing conduct of superior officers as some of the causes of the large number of assertions. He is probably correct in a general way, as these conditions undoubtedly influence men and make them dissatisfied with the service, but it is not the chief source of trouble The American boy Is not built on the proper lines for a professional fighter in either the army or the navy. He de- tests routine and monotony. and is born with restlessness of spirit that cannot find vent in the dull drudgery and endless routine of life on ship board or in army barracks. He i3 Johnny on the spot if there is any fighting to do, and the world does not possess his equal in that line, but when the danger is over he wants to go home and play his part in the actual ities of life. in business and social lines. and he has no stomach for the cheerless routine of naval or military life in times or peace. There is no romance in It. It is also certain that the pay Of the enlisted men in the navy is far from attractive to the young men of the country who have opportunities for toll at remunerative wages with out the restricting influences. that sur round life in the navy. Better pay and better rations may mitigate the deser- tion evil, but it will not be cured until the American young man undergoes a change of character that will relieve him of that spirit of restlessness and chafing under rules and routine that is now one Of the dominant traits.- Washington Post

CURRENT COMMENT
 DESERTIoNs FROM THE NAVY

MT. Moody, secretary of the navy. has very frankly admitted in his an nual report that the question of de- sertions in the branch of the service over which he Dresides is too much for him. He reviews some of the condi- tions which he believes lead to deser- tion, but is unable to suggest a remedy for the evil which has grown to such proportions that 1t threatens to ser iously impair the efficiency of the ser vice. MT. Moody has one consolation. He has succeeded as we'll in dealing with the problem as his predecessors have. The question of desertion has been discussed and lamented by every secretary of the navy for half a cen tury, but no one yet has offered a

The Mysterious Senators.

Secretary Roots protest to the sem ate committee on military affairs against the ciro ulation of false reports preJudicial to Gen. Leonard Wood brings out in sharp relief the great bluuder which the committee has made in seeking to keep the committee pro Ceedings d secret. Readers of the news papers see long dispatches from Wash ington recounting the testimony Of witnesses before the committee, and the natural inference is that the in- yestigation is full and open. The con- trary Is the case. The committee sessions are in secret and the com mittee hears such testimony as It considers pertinent and arbitrarily re-

jects that which it considers inadmiss- ible. and somebody for the committee proceedings as is considered proper for the public to know.
 Evidently. some of these reports are without foundation. On Monday. as our Washington dispatches detailed. Secretary Root wrote to Senator Proc tor. acting chairman on military af- fairs:
 T enclose a letter from Brigadier General Tasker H. Bliss. asking attan- ton to the report of his recent testi mony before your committee as a wit ness regarding certain objections to the confirmation of General Wood. It appears that by the press reports of General Bliss testimony, many are the precise contrary of what he in fact testified. It is evident that some per son is undertaking to convey to the press representatives information oI what goes on in the committee and is taking advantage of the fact that the evidence is not published. to state It falsely. for the purpose of injuring General Wood in public estimation; so that while your committee will act up- on the evidence actually before it. the public Judgment as to how you ought to act will be based upon an entirely different and erroneous idea of what the evidence is.'
 It was to be expected that when the committee determined to make the in Yestigation a star-chamber affair it would result in many inaccurate re- ports getting out, But the unaccount able part of the matter Is that anybody acting for the committee should fur nish the press with reports intended to injure Gen. Wood. as charged by the committee itself is strongly friend ly to Wood. Indeed. Woods enemies have openly charged that the majority of the committee is governed by such decided bias in favor of Gen. Wood that witnesses hostile to him nave been received as roughly as if before law yers retained for the defense.
 The public can reach but two con clusions al this time. The first is that the confusion of testimony makes T impossible to decide at present whether anything preiudicial to Gen Wood mas been proved The second is that the august senators made a silly mistake when they tried to conduct the investigation in secret.
 There is absolutely no sense or reas- on for these secret. mysterious pro ceedinss in a time of peace. Notwith standing their high-sounding titles wants employed by the people for the performance of plainly prescribed du- ties. Neither the laws nor the spirit of our institutions contemplates that any public servant-be he senator or anything else-shalI set himself above his masters. the people. It is always mark of weakness to see anybody. individually or officially. acting in mysterious manner.
 Everybody is familiar with the mys- terious type of man-the individual who plucks you by the sleeve and takes you around the corner to whisper DOT tentous nothings in your ear; the fellow who would have you believe that he is hump backed and bow-legged from carrying such d weight of secrets, and whose chief aim in life is to wraD him. self in an air of profound mystery in order that the world may not see how shallow he is. This habit is not any more commendable or impressive in the United States senate than else where.

A Serious Discussion of a Serious
 Subject.

In a somewhat facetious vein The Republican reminded the Los Angeles Times the other day that in poking fun at the Hon. Mark Smith the Los Angeles paper was guilty of irreverence in the eyes of the Arizona democracy. and would provoke the resentment of Mir Smiths many friends. We gladly give space to the subsequent comments of the esteemed Tucson Citizen
 Under the caption. 'Unseemly IT, reverence our esteemed contempor ary. the Phoenix Republican, prints a comment that could with more pro priety be headed 'Cnseemly Black guardism.' In order to make our sc.Vrs clear we will p:'n: The I;cDI' II . cans comment"
 Tn justice. it should be said that we have no desire to charge Tho Repubh- can with 'blackguardism.' Its com mcnt was simply based on ignorant re- marks made by the arch enemy of Arizona, the Los Angeles Times. that in turn were based on medacious, ig norant and peIvert remarks copied from a hybrid publication at Phoenix ana a Slily StOOl pigeon posing as d party organ issued at Tucson.
 We do not feel any necessity to jump to the defense of Mark Smith when he is assailed. The character ot his assailants is all that is neces- sary to call to the attention of the peo- pie of Arizona. Because the Phoenix Republican has been big enough from time to time to be Arizonian rather than it's namesake and has not hesi- tated to be just to the men of all par ties who were able to serve Arizona, we will embrace this opportunity to make a statement for it's benefit.
 The chamber of commerce of Tue con asked MT. Smith to assume the task of relieving Pima county from q fraudulently imposed indebtedness MT. Smith made d business proposi- ton in reply. in effect that he would proceed to Washington at his own ex- pense. try to pass bill through con- gress for the relief of Pima county. and if he succeeded he would charge the county 25 per cent of what he se- cured for 1t. Is there any thing wrong in that proposal? Is 1t not plain bus mess offer. made by a business body" Why should republican bilge water be cast on it?
