Dispatches from eastern cities tell of many deaths and prostrations from heat. St. Louis. Philadelphia, New York. Cincinnati and Boston have all suffered from an unusual visitation of high temperature and humidity, ac companied by fatal results. The record does not seem high to the peo- pie of Arizona. The highest reported yesterday vas 97 in St. Louis. In Arizona a temperature of 97 degrees is not considered uncomfortable. and when the temperature reached no and over the people go about their busi- ness without anticipating any serious results. It is very rare occurrence to hear of prostrations from heat in this territory.

The Review gives no credence to the report that W. C. Greene has resigned from the presidency of the Cansnea Consolidated Copper company. NIT. Greene has made Cananea and his company famous by his wonderful en- ery; he has opened up one of the zreatest mining properties in the country. and it is not likely that should he desire to retire from the management, that his business asso- ciates would consent to it.

THE TERRIToRY'S UNIVERSITY.

Now that Ferris Fitch has resigned as chancellor of the Arizona university and F. Y. Admas has resigned as pres: dent Of that institation, the way has been cleared for reorganizing the uni versity and putting 1t on more use ful and business plane. There is no reason why this university should not be made to rank with any educational institution in the west. Its location is one of the most admirable to be fOUns anywhere. All that is required is to put pnly men In charge of it who are capable to manage t and who care more for the success of education than they do for the success of welfare of any political party or the success of any politician.
 The man chosen to succeed Chancel- Tor Fitch is Chaplain Winfield Scott. the well known soldier-preacher of Phoenix He is well regarded as a man, but he has been most too closeiy connected with politics in .his territory to make him the most desirable for the position, but all will hope that he will cut the politics out entirely now and go for the success of the uu!vec- sity. The successor of F. Yale Adams has not yet been chosen.
 Governor Brodie has made an excel lent beginning towards ending the IoH ia the university, by clearing away tine discordant clements It would have been mistake to retain enther the chancellor or the president, each hay, ing evidently started in to do the other up and drive him from the insti- tuition. Had either been retained he would have been encouraged to further arbitrary and dictatorial action in tEe future. IL is well to be rid of both.
 When the first spark of discord ap. peared at the university, the people of Tucson were quick to stir it up and fan it into a furious blaze: there is nothing that the average Tucsonite enjoys more than a university row, and they have managed to keep one on tap the greater part of the time since the educational institution was first opened,
 Under the chancellorship of CoioLel William Herring, the university reached it's highest plane: it became efficient and pupils were sent to it erom every county in the territory; it had the confidence of all, and is work was most excellent. When the Colonel left the university there was general regret, and it was feared that his successor would not command that general respect which he had com. Snanded in all quarters. That feaI was realized to the full extent.
 The people of Arizona have great desire to see the university made what st can be made-one of the recognized leading educational institutions in the west. They have been quick 10 re spond to every call for money for its support and for it's improvement and enlargement. Under proper and up to-date management, with competent professors. it should and will dTaT support not only from every section ot Arizona, but from every state in the west as well.

MAKE GOOD"
 Notwithstanding the fact that the postoffice department investigation af- forded President Roosevelt a fine op- portunity to make good" in manner most pleasing to his countrymen he has neglected the opportunity. has gone to his summer home and left be- hind him orders that the "gag rule" must be enforced, no news given out and the investigation practically abandoned. The disclosures so far made, leave no doubt in an intelligent mind that the investigation has only begun-that worse remains behind"
 The greedy fangs of corruption have fastened themselves upon every branch of the postal service. MT. Bristow's report gives substantial proof of shameless trafhcking in of flee, grating in almost every bu- reau, of bold and brazen defiance of all civil service rules. and of the dam nably pernicious influence of party considerations in the administration of one of the greatest departments of the government
 One of the results of the inyestiga- tion is the discovery that the four states of Ohio. Indiana, Illinois and Iowa have been especially favored in the distribution of rural mail routes. As three of these are pivotal states in national elections, the reason of this favoritism is perfectly obvious. If Mir. Payne is really i'll. he can not be blamed for it A national scandal of this kind is enough to make anybody sick" In it's purely moral aspect, il bears strikingly close resemblance to the Panama affair in France, which in it's course. besmirched the reputa- tions of almost every leading politi- clan. The postoffice department has become absolutely rotten. Every branch of the service needs reform and lots of it. It is the presidents duty to leave nothing undone to bring every culprit to justice. The scandal is no longer a matter of lurking sus- picion. It has advanced into the in- destructible realm of facts. This be- ing the case. every political grafter, blood-sucker and briber should be hunted down and held I'D for pub lie condemnation. The national ad- ministration, which happens to be re- publican, has reached the point where retreat is no longer impossible.

Does it look as though the people of the conn- try are going to get the facts of this matter when the gag rule" is ap- piled to the officers of the department and no action taken in the cases of men already indicted of heinous offenses?
 The people will never know the ex- tent of rottenness in the postofice de- partment until there is 8 change in national administration A congress sional investigation by a partisan re- publican majority will only smother things. How long will the people stand still?

Idaho Ahead.

of statistics of agriculture, idaho stands
at the head of the long list of states IN
the average wheat yield. The average
yield for the entire country was ID 4
bushels per acre Idaho has an average
of 25.2 bushels per acre. This record IS
the more remarkable because a great
part of this years wheat was raised on
new lands that yielded less than the
older fields. The largest yield OF any
state was in 1904 when Washington
averaged 291 bushels per acre. That
was in a good wheat year This has
been poor one all over the United
