George Downing.
The first to win a place in managing
the affairs OF nations was George Down
ing. who, graduating from the first class
in 1912. went directly to England. where
| he served Cromwell in his efforts to rule
both piousIy and wisely at the same
time.
Not oyercarefu1 in his fnterpreta-
lions OF diplomatic ethics, he passed
readily from one party to another, serv-
| ing the corrupt Stuart family as ably
as the Roundheads and winning little
approval from the stern Purftans Of
his alma mater by his course.
OF his ability there can be 10 doubt.
After being long a leading factor in the
court Of England. he was appointed az
. an envoy from that country to Holland
and won considerable power by his dfplo-
macy in dealing with the representa-
tives Of other nations. He made his

Governor Wood.

Only few days ago. on the eve of General Leonard Woods departure for the Philippines, we suggested that his assignment to the command of the province of Mindanao was the forerun- ner of his appointment to be civil gov ernor of the Philippines. but we did net then expect to see such a prompt confirmation of our guess as is con- tained in the fastest news from Wash ington. It is now explained on behalf of the administration that Governor Taft is anxious to come home, and it is the intention to elevate Wood to the supreme command shortly after his ar rival at Manila. When the general sailed, few days ago. he did not know that he was so soon to assume the great responsibility of governing the archipelago.
 Had President Roosevelt passed all of his fellow citizens in review it is not likely that he could have found q man so well equipped as Leonard Wood for the task of establishing a permanent ard satisfactory government in the Philippines.

Marie Corelli aud Andrew Carnegie.

When Miss Marie Corelli, the female Hall Caine, of English literature, writes to the newspapers on matter of public interest, there is generally a suspicion that she has been led to do so by mo- tives not entirely altruisitc.
 Miss Corelli is the most shrinking of famous persons-in Pickwickian sense. She hates to feel the glow of the lime-light-also in a Pickwickian sense. All the fortitude at her command is necessary to enable her to bear fierce light that beats upon an enthroned lady novelist. But do what she will, an sorts of details are made public about her. from what royalty thinks of hey books to what she eats for breakfast, and the sort of pen that she uses when she commits her incGmparab to paper. She had nervous prOstration in Pickwickian sense and only for publication when a wondering world was informed that King Edward never goes to sleep without reading a few pages of one of her books, and she threatened to write no more when 1t was given out that she was the favorite author of the late Queen Victoria.
 It is only a stern sense of duty that leads her to write to the papers every now and then. That must be the ex- planation of her letter to the British academy, protesting against the pro- posal to erect a Carnegie library on Henley street, Stratford-on-A Avon. She points out that to put up the building in this place it would be necessary to tear down 3 number of old houses

A Loss to the Senate.

A beautiful tribute to former Senator George Graham Vest, of Missouri, ap- pears in the Philadelphia Ledger over the signature of Senator k. w. Car mack, of Tennessee. Senator Vest re- mained at his post in the Fifty-seventh congress although the vital spark in his frail body was very low. The in domitable spirit of the man kept hirn in the days of his bodily vigor. Whethe, he had strength enough to survive cou- gress was a question which his colIea- gues thought about with concern, fo, there was no partisanship in the esti- mate of the senator's ability and ster- ling personal qualities. One of the vet erans of the senate and twenty-four years a member of that body, he was the peer as debater and legislator of any man on the floor, and to tha younger men he was guide, philosc- pher and friend. He represented worthily the cherished traditions Of the senate, and would have been accounted a man of mark in the days when there were giants. MT. Vest is now ill in Washington, and, as he says, calmly awaiting the end.
 He is a man whom I both love anG honor," says Senator Carmack. His vast fund of information. his great il.> tellectual power his brilliancy in de bate, his incorruptible integrity, gave him q place in the councils of the party and the nation such a few men havc held. The physical debility Whicl, a. fiiCted him in his later years. but which left his mind undimmed and his devc. tior to the public service unimpairea, made him at once a pathetic and q heroic figure. Though he could barely totter to his place in the senate upon the arm of an attendant he continued in the discharge of his duties faithful to the last. and more than once du> ing the last sesison of his service the old fire blaZed out from the dying ern- bers.' Senator Carmack tells a touch ing story of the broken old man sitting in a reverie in the cloak room of the senate, and after awhile, repeating +. his feeble voice the lines of Tennyson'A Crossing the Bar Though he had these occasional moods of quiet and solemn reverie, says Senator Carmack, he did not seem depressed in spirits, but overflowed with anecdote and ren:-
 niscence. and entered with keen zest into colloquial discussions of current questions. .'-Kansas City Journal.

A Trying Position.
Phoenix Readers Will Appreciate
 This Advice.

A constant itching tries your pa tience.
 Nothing so annoying, nothing so ir- ritating as itching Piles or Eczema.
 To scratch the irritation makes it worse.
 To leave it alone means misery.
 Some Phoenix citizen can tell you how to be free from these troubles. Read the following:
 T. w. Hanks of S01 North First stree1. for years employed by the Mccormick Implement Co.,, says: II consider Deans Ointment one of the best pre- parations on the market. I was annoyed with itching hemorrhoids, commonly called piles, for six or seven years, lat terly continually. Sometimes the itch ing was so intense that it fairly set me wild, despite the fact that 1 used every thing l read about recommended for such ailments, and everything which my friends advised. Finally my brother in-law advised me to take d certain course of treatment, and when I went to the Brisley drug store for it MT. Lar son advised me to try Doan'S Ointment l did so and 1 have never regretted taking his advice. The first application so soothed the irritated parts that I knew I had at last obtained something with more than ordinary merit. A con- tinuatiOn of the treatment absolutely stopped the attack. A short time ago 1 scalded the toes on my right foot. Doan's Ointment healed the burned part rapidly. When I say it beats anything ever tried or heard about for giving positive relief I only half state the facts.

CURRENT
 COMM ENT
An Army of Workers for the Panama
 Canal.

The practical phases of the work oi constructing the Panama canal arc impressive in magnitude. When opera tions are fairly under way, from 10000 to 4OG0O laborers will be employed. Under the law the government or the contractors. can draw this labor frorr, any part of the earth, but it is expected that West Indian and American negroes will be brought in at the ou:- set. If they cannot be secured in sur- ficient numbers Japanese, or even Chir- csc, labor may be used. The ordinary laobrers wages will not be over 50 cents
 day. In case negroes are employed,
 accommodations for their families must
 be provided, as it is established by ex- perience that these laborers will not go far from home without their wives anG children. The task of maintaining . high grade of sanitation among sucl people in a tropical climate will prove difficult but it must be successfully performed if epidemics are to be kept away from the iSthmuS. A small army of physicians, mechanics, machinSts. electricians, engineers, both stationary and locomotive, firemen, masons, fore men, bosses, inspectors and so on will be required and these positions will go almost exclusively to white men from this country. The feeding of the whole force will require commissariat equal to that of a large army in the field, and the bulk Of the food supplies will go from the United States to the isthmus. as will indeed a large amount Of
 machinery. cement and lumber. For the transportation of all this material to the isthmus the government vii. have a steamship line between New
 York and Colon. which will be acquired with the other property of the French company, and the Panama railroad, while, of course, New Orleans will be come great feeder through it's pri- vate steamships companies. In effec, l the United States. government will su- perintend the enterprise equivalent tc maintaining an army in active opera
 tions in a foreign country although the governments direct work would b> greatly minimized if it should make q contract with a syndicate or private construction company to do the job.- Springfield Republican.

 We must say that in our opinion the point is we'll taken. Miss Marie Corelli. the most successful of feminine 2dVer- tisers, may be jealous of MT Andrew Carnegie, the most successful and con- spicuous of male advertisers. But what of it? It is well that some one should speak out in meeting. If the Vandals are to be stopped it doesn't matter who does the stopping.
 All globe-trotting Americans who go to England visit Stratford Why should they be compelled to inspect another Carnegie library? The worli is full of such structures.

Causes of Business Failures.

BradstreetS commercial agency keeps a record of business failures in the United States, classified by causes. and the percentage of failures that is set down under each cause is approximate ly the same year after year.
 most of them-almost one in three; in competence, one in five; specific coli ditions," about one in six: fraud. one in ten. It is noteworthy that only about one failure in hundred was reported as due to extravaganza. and about the same number to specula ton. Uunwlse credits and the failure of others caused each about one failure in thirty.
 Competition is assigned as the cause of only one failure in every twenty seven. These reports so far as they speak well for the industry, the avoid ance of specula tion, and the general honesty of men in commercial life. They indicate that daring tor folly), too, by showing how large a proportion of failure is due to insufficient capital. Men dare fate by undertaking enter prises beyond their means and credit. Even this folly shows a good tendency the tendency of men to go into busi- ness for themselves; but in modern or ganization of business capital becomes increasingly necessary.

More Than One Kind of Cruelty.

It is now revealed from a Boston pull pit that women who wear birds on their hats will never get to heaven. If nobou, gets to heaven who has been barred out at some time by the pulpit heaven will be a wilderness. The habit of us- ing birds as hat ornaments is certainly cruel enough, but it is not a whit more cruel than the habits of hunting and fishing, which are indulged in by the very pulpiteers who condemn womer for wearing dead birds.-Louisville Courier Journal.

Warm Weather Politics.

The dull political season having ar rived. the Washington Star kindly offers some helpful suggestions to the newss papers which make business of sem sations. Here are a few items from the schedule:
 l. President Roosevelt's renomina- ton to be discussed from all view points: see if there is any possibility or beating him: how about Wall streets opposition; is Uncle Mark Hanna sharpening knife? Discuss all these points thoroughly before reaching the conclusion that they can't beat him.
 o. Start the Fairbanks boom again. must be some dissatisfaction sonle- where against the administration which would warrant pushing Fairbanks to the front: get at least good denial of the imminency of the Fairbanks boom.
 3. How about Uncle Mark Hanna s health? Is there any talk of his con- senting to sacrifice himself on the altar of his country and run for the nomina- ton? How about Wall street backing Hanna against Roosevelt? This ought to be good for half a dozen chapters.
 A. Keep the Parker boom going for the democratic nomination.; play up Hill as foil every time Parker is mem toned; time to start Parker boom out west and get rise out of Bryan: when all other subjects fail take a shy at Bryan
 5. Keep Cleveland boom a-going-it produces good "copy" out of Col. Wat terson and doesn't help Cleveland: this will be timely in August, when things are very dull.
 6. How about vice presidential can- ies in this; flush Harris of Kansas, Car ter Harrison, Kean of New Jersey, La Toilette of Wisconsin, Gum Shoe Bill Stone of Missouri Chat will get rise out of Dockery); Beveridge of Indiana. George Fred Williams of Massachu- setts-anybody, in fact. who will war
  possess will pick the real man in the convention.
 :. Start a revolt against Germans leadership in the senate; Carmack, Du- bois and Patterson will help; easy to find leaders; when Aldrich and Alliso,, come back they will conduct real lead ership negotiations with German in the same old ante rooms, so it won't hurt s. Start movement to defeat Hanna's reelection to Senate; Tom L. Johnson. John R. Mclean and number of promI- nent Ohioans will stand for 1t; ought to at be at least one good story in it to be denied vigorously next day.
 9. Renew agitation for tariff revis- ion: President Roosevelt bound to Say something on his western trip to heart- en up the revisionists, which Aldricil, Platt ct al. will take cum grano sails, SO that stock market won't be disturb ed: several good stories in that.
