WE couldn't account for a raise Of

shat daughter was born to Mr.. and
and Mrs. John D. Rockefeller on Sun
day. The arrival of the kid Of
course necessitates extra expense in the
Rockefeller houshold, and the father
provided for this in the simple way of
making the consumers of coal oil pay a
tribute of two cents per gallon on oil

DOSTER ON REPUBLlcANlSM.

Whatever may be thought or said
concerning Ex Chief Justice Doster's
position with regard to Democracy, all
will agree that he strikes tire nail
squarely on the head in the following
arraignment Of the present republican
administration:
"The blackest chapter in American
history is our wanton sutjugation of
the Philippine people. just ~ they were
on the eve of setting up republic of
their own, and doing It, as we did.
under the hvpocritical pretense that it
was our Christian obligation when
every body knew that it was dollars and
not duty that inspired us. The result
has been nothing except seat at the
gambling table of Asiatic politics,
and at least ] billion dollars OF money
and 25, 600 lives lost. and more to follow.
The defense OF this conduct made
through catchy phrases about
strenuous life,' manifest destiny.'
world power extension Of commerce,'
ETC.. makes up the policy OF the Roose-
welt party. That party reduced to its
fnality IS nothing but firecracker and
brass band. lis stock in trade is
mere brag and vainglory. The supreme
duty OF the American people is to rid
themselves of it 60 they may return to
sober judgment and the ways of po-
litical righteousness

by law, wtll follow the decision made.

PR!NGLE DENIES.

Speaker Pringle has made reply to the
charge that he officially certified to the
swearing in OF an assistant sergeant. at.
arms during the last session of the Kan
sas legislature when the man in cues.
ton was not and had not been at the
Kansas capital. lie says: IF my
signature appeared on such an oath,
Brakeman, or someone impersona ting
him. swore to it. No bogus oaths were
certified to by me-"
The fact remains that the house iour.
nal shows that Pringle certified on"Jan.
uary l3' that Blakema n took the oa,b
before him on january % y The
difference in the dates may be due to a
typographical error. but that has moth.
ing to do with the fact that neither on
the 18th nor the 10Th nor for many DAYS
atterward did Brakeman come to
Topeka. Speaker Pringle is entitled to
the benefit of his denial. Someone
may have impersonated Brakeman. II
Is easy to believe that in view of the
many other questionable practices In.
dulged in by the "Pringleized'' legis-
lature. Still, Mr.. Pringle should make
some effort to have the apparent
forgery in the official records cleared nm.

POSSIBLE PRESIDENT.
Professor Randall May Become Head
 of Arizona University.

There arrived in the city yesterday a gentleman who will probably become closely identified with the educational affairs of the territory and who may be made the chief instrument for the clar- ification of the unfortunate university muddle He is Professor William Ran dall of Los Angeles, formerly dean Of the University of Southern California. Professor Randall is stopping at the Hotel Adams and will probably go to Tucson within a day or two to lock over the field.
 He has not made known the nature of his visit tc the territory. nor has 1t been learned from any official source that he has been slated for .he pres!- dency of the university, but The Re publican has it from most reliable source that he is in contemplation and has been since the return of Governor Brodie from the east. It is also learned that the governor is extremely Gesir- ous that he should become the head of the institution.
 Whether he does or not appears to rest solely with Professor Randall him self He stands high in the educational circles of the coast and it is believed that his appointment to the position of president would put m end to the dis fractions of the university.

possibility of error. The public has had ample time to study the situation, and those not signed should decide one way or the other at once and not wait till the last day, which will be busy one, as there will surely be some who cannot avoid being late for one reason or another.
 It was understood here yesterday that the Tempe canal farmers were holding a meeting yesterday afternoon for q final consideration of the course they are to pursue in respect of water storage. What action they took. if any. has not yet been authoritatively reported.

NO TInE TO LOSE
But Eleven Days More Before the
 Books are Closed.

In answer to what might be termed the last call. the unsigned land owners of the valley are showing rather more activity than for the preceding two weeks, though no great number of them have signed yet. Several, though, who have been looked upon as not in- tending to come in are declaring them selves differently and preparing to sign. It is well to urge the necessity of nasty action. two incidents that occurred yes terday being in point.
 One of them was in respect of a land owner at present out of the valley whose interests are being looked after by another. He had already made out the papers for a portion of his hold ings in one tract but not for all oi them. not knowing at the time that he would have to sign the entire holding in the one tract The contract. of course. cannot be received, and it will require nasty action on his part to make a new one and have it ready by July 13.
 Another is similar. The land owner has a large tract under an old canal and sent in a contract for all but a few acres on which his farm buildings, cor rals, etc, are located. In the same way and for the same reason that contract will have eo be rejected and a new one made and where the landowner or his wife chances to be cut of town it takes several days sometimes to perfect the papers.
 The moral oS it is that many intend ing to sign and putting it off till the last minute may find little things that have to be previously attended h that perhaps they themselves do not think of and the delay may jeOpardiZe their contract or cause deal Of tuning and flying around and therefore greater

Governor Says He Accepted

Governor Morrison has announced
the resignation of Reese H. Davis al
state immigration commissioner
He announces the appointment Of
+. G. Eggleston, of Caldwell. as his
successor.
The resignation of Mr. Davis has
been expected for several weeks, for
reasons that are we'll known to the
general public. 1t had been so long
in coming, however, that the opinion
had become general that he could
not be forced out, although it was
we'll known that his resignation had
been asked for. The governor in
making the announcement, said that
1t had been rendered several weeks
ago, but be had accepted it with
great reluctance.
Mr. Eggleston, the new appointee,
was for several years a resident of
Caldwell, but is now spending most
of his time in Wyoming, having dis
posed of his property interests in
that city, and is more of a citizen of
that state than of Idaho.
