AS TO CHATTING

Thfee weeks more and the great biennial game of graft will begin-the twenty-second legislature will be get ing ready for business.-Arizona Re publican. e"'-'
 The above is a warranted remark, considering the history Of many past legislature. and it may incidentally remarked that the Republican has earned a reputation as a postmaster in the art of grating. The scandal of few years ago over the printing of the territorial reports is yet fresh, as is also ;he famous telegram sent by Vickers to Martin in connection wita the graft contemplated in printing the revised statutes of Arizona.
 But let us hope that the twenty second legislature will make a record against the grafters that will be pleas ing to behold. The time has come

MONROE DOCTRINE AND MOROCCO.

If the United States needed any ad- ditional stability for the Monroe doc Urine it might find that desired quality in the Morocco situation Affairs in the savage empire of North Africa bring forcibIy to mind the policy which Great Britain has so long maintained toward Morocco, a policy which finds a close parallel in the Monroe doctrine As pointed out that the policy is to prevent any other power gaining a foot hold in Morocco. where 1t could set up a rival to Gibraltar or make that latter fortress of lesser account.

RE.ENAcr THE POLL TAX LAW

The last legislature, as the result ol what seemed to be a general demand, repealed the law requiring every citi- zen to pay his poll tax before being eligible to have his name placed on the great register. In other words, the paying of poll tax before being a qualified voter. The law was believed to be a hardship upon the masses cf the people, the noa-property holders. But the fact was overlooked that the poll tax went into the school fund and that the property holder was the only one who was likely to pay his poll tax, as it could be collected with his other tax, and that there being no compul- sion or means to collect the tax from non-property holders that the tax would not be paid but by very limit ed number. Such seems to have been the result of the special law There are very few non-property holders who pay the poll tax but the tax is collect ed from the property holder. Yet those who do not pay their poll tax have their names placed on the great regis ter and vote This without contribut- ing one penny to the support of the government or the school fund. It has also been discovered that the school fund has been greatly depleted by cut ting off this poll tax-by the repeal of the law. There now seems to be general demand to have the poll tax law restored This should be done. Every man who desires to vote should be willing to contribute at least two dollars to the support of public schools The matter will come before the com ing legislature If there is any objec- tion to the re-enactment of the law it should be made known now and dis cussed before the meeting of the legis- lature.-Star.
 The above article meets with the ap- proval of the Review The law re- quiring every man to show his poll
  and vote was one of the best ever plac- ed on our statute book and the peo- pie made great mistake in demand ing it's repeal, which was pretty gen eral.
 The poll tax law now in force is a very lame one and the school fund in Cochise county win suffer very seri- ously from its inefficiency. The law needs amendment so that companies shall be held responsible for the poll tax of their employees; the provision for requiring payment of the poll tax before one can get his name on the the register, or vote, should by all means be re-enacted. Then the duty of collecting the poll tax should be plac- ed on the assessor as under the old law

the pigs in the pen, however, and Ike's grandpa
said things you may be sure, when he saw the havoc
1t had committed.
Ike resolved to be more careful thereafter, and
for the rest of the morning he did nothing more
with his magic powder bEtby noon his curiosity got
the better of him again and he dropped some pow
der on the black pig which had been a rabbit. 1t
turned into pOrcUpine with rabbits legs this time
and ran away at once, and no doubt is still soaring
the inhabitants of the woodland to this hour. Then
Ike tried some powder on the COW, who stood with
her head out of the barn surveying the landscape,
and at once she vanished. Wondering what he now
was to see, Ike looked in the window and there be-
held great sea-hon with hoofs, which Immediately
set up awful barking roar that brought everybody
out to the barn at once.
My graciousp cried Grandma Sutherland, star
tied, and turning very pale. "Who brought that aw-
full thing into our barn"
Its whale" shouted Hiram.
No." said Grandpa, cts a sea-cow. I've seen
them in Alaska. But how on earth did it get here2"
There must have been a Noah's Ark landed

me we're gittin' every kind o beast that's made"
"Mercyp said Grandma. 81 'spect we'll be hav-
ing lions and tigers then, the next thing"

you've only got about two senses" said Grand
ma. 81 don't know how sea-cow. whatever this
IS, happens to be in my barn. but guess there be
no lions yet awhile"
But Ike now filled with a mischicvous desire to
have some fun, had sprinklcd some powder en-
Bruce, the setter dog behind their backs and there
stood a giraffe blandly gazing down at them and
wagging a dogs tail IN a very friendly manner
Grandma fell into Grandpa's arms and squealed
while Hiram climbed into the hay loft and hid in
the hay, for he had never seen a giraffe before.
The animal friskcd about merrily and Ike was
the only not alarmed, for oil thought a giraffe
was something fierce Then it began TO eat the hay
that was hanging out of the window above them and
soon Mrs. Sutherland became calm again.
81 am quite sure now" said Grandpa. 'that cir

animals"
Hiram, who was very fond of circlses, came ont
of the hay to peer at the giraffe, while Ike went
with his grandma into the house, where she sud
denly spied the guinea pig in the canary's cage
This alarmed her afrcsh and she called Grandpa in
TO sec the other wonder He couldn't explain it at
all and fell into deep maze, for so many new ami

for another subject for he had so much powder

IT suppose it's my cigar factory" said Grandpa
some doubt because it my house, but
don't know what I'm going to do with it. / don't
know anything about making cigars"
'eWell l do" said Hiram, "for I've made many
one IN winter-time at home when l was boy and
I've never forgotten how to do it, so I'll be your
foreman here. It's fine big shop, and I'll bet they
make bully cigars"
But there was already competent foreman and
salesman and the foreman assured Mr. Sutherland
that it was his factory and that they were working
for hilhs alone, while the exchange of farmhouse
for a factory was great advantage to him. Grand
pa resolved to let things take their course and to
forget that he was ever farmer, so he lighted
good ifty-cent cigar and sat down under tree op-
posite Ike, seeing that nobody had noticed has

started off, resolved travel to great distance and
see the world.
Now the automobile was no ordinary vehicle

the other things affected by the wonderful powder

easily over crags, bouders, marshes and huInnocks

Grandpa Sutherland was as much inclined to ex-
pertinent Ike, but instead of trying to discover
the effect of the powder upon. any more animals he
endeavored to see if it would alter inanimate OBJ
jects, he walked away to seek some secluded spot
IN which to test his prize. Strangely enough, the
same idea came into Ikes mind, but he tested it
right there and then by sprinkling a few grains
upon the old ramshackle cart that stood in the
barn-yard.
Instantly there stood a brand new automobile, as
red fire and shining like gold in its brass parts
waiting for him to jump in and ride away. Before
he could act upon the invitation, however or even
recover from his surprise, something more astOund-
ing occurred, for the farmhouse suddenly disap-
peared and in Its place stood a large factory from
the windows and doors of which came the busy hum
of many workers and at the front door of which
stood his grandpa with a most amazed expression
on his face. Grandpa had entered his house to get
his hat, but stumbling at the step sprinlled some
of the magic powder on the floor and at once the
house changed into great cigar factory with hun
dreds of men and women making all kinds of cigars
with all their might and main
1t was many minutes before they realized what it
meant, but Hiram exclaimed:
Gee whiz! This beats all the farms / ever saw
III my life Gimme good hve-cent cigar and femme
enjoy myself"

upon his grandmother declared that he ought to be
spanked and sent to bed.
But Grandpa Sutherland, when he heard that the
powder did 1t, was as curious as his grandson and
wanted to see it work at once, so Ike promptly
changed hen into rat with feathers on his tail,
and you should have seen his grandpa's eyes stick
out
The rat Immediately ran into the barn and dis
appeared, but Grandpa had seen enough to satisfy
him that Ike had found the wondrous Metamor-
phosis berry powder, and he at once demanded that
it should be handed over to him, for, said he such
dangerous stuff should not be in the possession of
so small boy and so Ike delivered to him all that
he could conveniently dig out of his jacket-pocket
But as you may imagine great deal still stuck to
the inside of the pocket enough to cause many more
wonderful changes

It neared him and then he saw that it was giant
He about dart up into the air when the giant
called to him to stop and listen to his request Ike
stopped and when the giant, who a hundred and
fifty feet high, reached him he asked him what he
desired
4 have heard in far away Kleptomania, where
live, that you are a woodworking magician who
change things into anything you desire"
chat is not true" replied Ike. 81 can change
things, but I am not able to tell what they'll be-"
81 wish you would practice on me" said the giant
sobbing. 81 too big. 1 starving, for 1 can
never get half enough to eat without running whole
countries, and am too tender-hearted to do that.

me, pray, into anything you wish, and I will be
your slave forever if l only get enough to eat"
q can't promise to help you" replied the boy,
'for [ know not how the charm VIII work"
ooh anything is better than this feeling of empti-
ness" cried the giant while the tears poured from
his eyes. "Make me goat or an ostrich, anything
that eats. and III be thankful"
When Ike found that he was not to be put off he
finally sprinkled the last remaining grains of DOW
der upon the giants feet and he was much graft
fed to see him change into a fat cook instead of
some awful animal.
'Now," said he to the cook "you certainly viii be
able to get all you want to eat, I think" -,

Il have never seen such berries" replied Grandpa
Sutherland ''Your great-uncle Petit once saw
them, but, somehow, when he went to pick them,
they vanished if by magic have read that such
berries are called Metamorphosis berries"
Gee, that's hard one" cried Ike. WHAT does
it mean2"
''That means the power of changing. I suppose.
for that's what the berries do, they say. don't
believe it myself" added the old man.
Ike, sitting there with his pockets filed with the
white powder said nothing, but resolved to try it on
the cat after breakfast. His grandpa added:
ct would be great thing for one who was lucky
enough to secure some, wouldn't itF Ike saw that
he only joking but he replied:
I'll keep my eyes open for those berries after
this"
''If you keep your eyes wide open in the woods
and fields you'll see some queer things, but you'll
never see those berries" said Grandpa Sutherland
After breakfast Ike secured the cat and went into
the woodshed to make another experiment. and,
before, as soon the powder fell the onima she
changed into a lamb Ike could scarcely believe his
eyes, but just then he heard the hired man express
ing his wonder at finding little black PIG in the
field, for no one kept black pigs in that ncighbor
hood. The lamb ran out of the woodshed, and there
was another surprise.

Little Ike Petit had never risen before the sun
until he went to visit his Grandfather Sutherland,
whose immense farmhouse stood among hills
crowned with dark hemlock woods, filed with all
sorts of animals of which Ike knew about merely
from his books, although he was passionately fond
of animals
The morning after he arrived at the farm he
awOke very early, earlier than he had done be-
fore, and the faint scent of hay came steal
ing in through the open window something tempted
him TO arise and look out. The sky was still pale
and gray, but thin streaks of rudy gold lay along
the tops of the far-away hills and solemn stiffness
lay the sleeping world He dressed and tiptoed
downstairs. Opening the great front door, he stole
out into the road but was in the fields in a moment.
nnd the very first thing he saw was a startled pair
Of rabbits fleeing across the grass. Then he saw
great white owl soaring along the ground seek
ing a field mouse that had stayed up too late, and
otter that two moes digging into the earth as they
heard his footsteps.
1t delightful to be out when nobody was
awake and these things for as yet even the birds
we're sleeping and he FASTENED along hoping to see
more. The sky kept Frightening every moment and
1t seemed If the might pop up at any instant
and surprise all the birds and things in bed but
no. they awoke long before the sunrise and began to
chatter and sing In a manner that amazed this city
bow.

chase corncred hin, long enough to sprinkle some
IF the berry-dust on his feathers.
Instantly the rooster changed into a turtle, but
with the long feathered hind legs of the chicken
Even Ike, who might be said TO be somewhat used
to these startling changes by this time was amazed
The rooster-turtle strutted about quite as proud
ly before, but when the hens saw him there was
