No class of merchandise
is SO persistently advertised
as Clothing, every imagin-
able excuse is advertised to
attract purchasers.
Some for want of better
arguments publish funny
stories, others have a con-
tinuous performance of un-
derpriced Clothing. Still
others offer Clothing at half
price or less than cost, and
with all those efforts many
of them complain of dull
business, there is one rea-
son for it. Where there is
two prices there are no
prices and people do not
bite at anything.
Our store is conducted on
the sound business princi-
pie of doing one thing well,
here is one price plainly
marked for all, one does
not pay more than the other
nor can one buy cheaper.
We do not sell goods be-
low cost. but we give the !
best goods we can for the {
money. S
People buy where they !
get the most for their money
and are sure of satisfaction. s

] and charge ag the proof of the c. im7s 1 He is uncompromising with wrones and
 treats criminals with unsoosistfcated severity. which makes them think ke does not quite understand the w-ys of the world. The president has got a
 code of ethics which he harps upon
 with the same positiveness with which
 he Droclaims his beliefs On roi icll economy and public ques.ion@. He feels deeply. acts quickly. confides in
 and talks colloquiallv with the people more than has been the custom of pres idents. and has a very exalted idea of his position and a proper estimation of himself.
 These characteristics have given oc- casion to the enemies of Pres s.dcn. Roosevelt to make the allegation tho t
 he Is recklessly impulsive, unamenab' e to advice. egotistic, spectacular and ann
 hitious. But all these imputations. to the extent that they are derogatovy to the character and usefulness of the president, have no foundation in fact. MT. Roosevelt is undoubtedly self suf- ficient, and much of his action is su-
 pcrfluous But nature is not usually moderate in making Q man. She eth CT gives him too much or too little. O.t
 of the strength of man comes his weak ness. also. Estimated hy the rules us ually employed in judging mank'nI !. the president compares very favorab,y with any of the men so far suggested as his uccessor.-Kansas City Journal.

JAI ALAI.

The attack on General Wood by Ma jor Rathbone, who was convicted Of robbing the government, has called at tention again to the Jai Alai game, pro- nounced Hi Ali" It is contended that this is a gambling arrangement
 In fact. it is game of strength and skill, and the gambling is no more a part of it than of baseball or bridge whist. The game itself consists of throwing solid balls against q masonry wall. The balls are thrown with tre- mendous force by wooden curved hoI- low frames that are attached to the right arm of each player two or four persons playing as may be. One makes the throw against the wall and the an- tagonist must catch the returning ball in the wooden frame that is attached to his arm. Then instantly he pro- jects it again and the other fellow must get it. and so until one loses it. The players are few and are professionals. They come from the Basque provinces and are especially trained. It is tra-' dition of Spanish countries that the eX- ertion they subject themselves to breaks them down so that they dIe be- fore they reach thirty.
 The interest of the gamblers is in the playing of the men. They sell pools right along on the scores of the indi- viduals and the teams. The players. according to common report are as deeply interested in the pools as any hody else is, and the game is so swift that it is always possible for them t.. win or lose as thew wish. People from he'eahouts who have seen the play in Mexico and in Cuba agree that among the audience it was understood that the thing was generally fixed up among the contestants; often when a bad play vas made the player was hissed and charged with intentionally missing.
 But just the same, so strong is the love of gambling, the people persist in buying into the pools and the selling is constant and on a large scale. It B conducted generally in a side room con nected with the big hall where the play is going on. Licensing Jai Alai is as wicked as licensing horse racing, put licensing Jai Alai with the pool-room annex would be like licensing horse racing and licensing pool-rooms with it. The only evidence in the Tai Alai nall that there is any gambling is found in the exhibition of bulletin boards which give the standing of the different players, their -ames and numbers, and against these certain figures which are those of the pools. No explanation goes with these. a-d ore has to notice and ask what they mean. The game per se is So rapid and brilliant, and such mar velous feats are accomplished. that it's interest is genuine even to those who are not putting up anything on the result.-HartfoTd COurant

ENGLISH CHESS PLAYERS.
An Opinion as to Why They Are Out
 oassed by Foreigners.

How is it that Englishmen are out
 classed by foreigners as chess players? This question has. been sgitating a
 weekly contemporary, and the answer
 is two-fold. The Englishman's intsr-
 ests in life are of too diversified a char actor, and he does not possess an Or-
 ental imagination. Re that as it may, it is none the less true that the number
 of chess clubs, and chess resorts. and
 the number of chess players in LondCn are greater than in any other city in
 the world. As to the Oriental imagin-
 ation." # does not go for much now
 a-days. Ganhit openings, like frontal
 attacks in war, are a thing of the past
 The strong chess player must have q
 mathematical mind, ard there is no reason to suppose that Engiishmen are deficient in this respect
 The real reason why such illustrious chess players as Howard StauntO1, Shakespearean scholar: Buckle. phil
 osopher of civilization; Boden, the att ist. and others who have no successors
 is to l)a found in the fact that the pres
 cnt generation of players, unlike the lovers of chess Of former times never have 2n opportunity of playing with
 the strongest players, most of wfom are professionals who devote their lives to the game A national masterl' tournament has not been held in Eng land in years-a meeting such as that just concluded at Kieff where Tchl- gorin has come out first. after a hard struggle with the new master, Bern stein. England, by the by, is the only country in the world where distinction fatal to chess-is drawn between am- ateur and professional.

The American Invasron of Carads,

It needs no prophetic gift to fore sec that within the next fews years within a decade or two at most-a pressing prob.cm in connection with the settlement oC the Canadian Northwest will bc presented to the United States and Great Britain for solution. This -rob,em shall he to de- termine what shall be done with and for the Americans in that country. It now seems probable that former citi- zens of the United States will be in the majority in that region before a great while. and it is inevitable that their longing for a place under the old flag will lead them to advocate the annexation of the northwest to the United States It is likewise inc vtablc that the United States when that time comes, will listen with sym pathy to the complaints and requests of cur people who wish to return and bring a province with them. But hcw England, and especially Canada, will view the new situation remains to hc seen.
 In the December number of The World Today, MT. Henry F. Cope has an interesting article on the American invasion Of Canada. Without touch ing upon the problem of the future to which we have alluded, Mir. Cope tells why Americans are rushing into the northwest.

CURRENT COMMENT
THE TALK AGAINST ROOSEVELT

Many persons found fault with Ches- - ter A. Arthur because he was a we'll bred gentleman. and with Andrew Johnson because he had not the breed . ing Of Q gentleman. Martin Van Burea was condemned because he was not forcefuI enough: Andrew Jackson b. cause he was too forceful. Critic sm twas preferred against Grant becau use he drank too freely; against Hayes be cause he refused to allow wine to l.. served in the White House. Grover Cleveland was censured fo being tco stubborn, and Mckinley for being too complaisant. You may run through the entire presidential list and you will find that one man has been repro ached for the kind of qualities and conduct that another has been praised for after he was dead and gone. The same characteristics. or the want of them, in the different presidents have arous- ed in the nation dialnetrically opposite ? sentiments
 No president can satisfy all the peo- pie all the time. The iudicious do not look for unnatural perfection. They ae content if the character and reco- of their leader in a general audit shows Il ptle~llic ilOie lO lNE SOO1 than 10 lHe bad. Some disappointed and di~ccn-
 tented gentlemen. in and out of the re- publican party. are now magnifying the faults of President Roosevelt in derog- atiCn of his many cxceEencies. But it is doubtful if they will gain anything by this treatment. They cannot make an issue between the desira ble and un- desirable parts of the president. The issue today is already made. For the nomination it will be Roosevelt aga ms. an innominate and unorganized field: and in the campaign 1t will be Roose- welt and repuhlicanism against democ- racy and several other things equally objectionable.
 NIT. Roosevelt Knows ais own faults and probably would frankly avow them in any Conversa ton on that subject. He Is unrestrainably and sometimes dtsagreeably honest. Having always kept himself above reproach. he is slightly inclined to accept the suspicion

What Is Being Done for the Health of
 cckooI Children.

During Health Commissioners LeI- cries administration in New York all school children have been examined by competent physicians ono. 2; week: 40) eases have been treated daily: during the past year half a million children have been treated for a single contag- ious disease of the eye -Jruchoma- which when neglected, often results a blindness. This means, of course, that over and over aGcin the same child has been caught by the contagion of this disorder. After all this. one is not su . p,ised to lelrn that during pr. Lede Ie's administration the rate Oc mortality from consumpticn has been reduced 43 per cent and that the rate from dipA- theria has been reduced from 37 DO cent to less than il per cent.

A Pressing Duty.

Every taxpayer residing in Phoenix owes it to himself to place his name or the register today, for the special bond election. No man can vote unless his name is on the register.
 The act of registration is so simple and brief that no citizen, no matter how busy, can honestly plead lack of time. A visit to the city hall can be made in few minutes
 It is rather remarkable that before every election it must be pounded into multitude of citizens that it is their dury to register. A sharp scolding OF this line is one of the unwelcome tasks which newspaper must perform over and over again. There is no excuse at any time for negligence of civic du- ties. The men who fail to register, or, paving registered fail to -ote. are the citizens who are most responsible for the evils which aftliCt municipal government in the United States to- day. This negligent. careless element $ always made up of the best citizen ship"-the men who have d high sense of personal honor and distaste for the dirty pools of politics.

Evils and burdens are foisted upon cities be- cause the thougEtless, the impulsive and the excitablo, sometimes led by the cunning and designing, are left to shape public policies. The political boss is able to wield power because the good citizens who consider thal they make up the best citizenship fail to register and vote.
