A COMMUNICATION.

To the Editor Of the Republican, Sir:
IN kindly referring to my add, ess of
welcome at the first session of the Ter
ritorial Teachers association, your re-
porter spoke of my abiding to the pest
house as one of the attractions of Phcc-
mix. 1 would not seem to make light of
q, serious subject. My implication was
that it would be attractiveto only'one in
dividual, the chairman of Il certain in
vestigating committee.
Allow me to quote briefly from the
address: Mark Twain relates that
formerly on his lecture tours he was Of
ten welcomed at the station of the town
where he was to deliver himself. by a
committee of prominent citizens, by
whom he was cOurteously escorted to
the cemetery, the county Jail, the hos
Dital and similar local attractions, h.
which he might be amused, instructed
and enthused for the evenings opera
lions. 1t has been our privilege to
welcome to Arizona friends and fees.
Among the former was the gallant
Young congressman, William r. Hearst
>rho came to give to us the glad hand
In our struggle for statehood; among
The latter was the gentleman from In
diana, whom. should he come again on
the same errand and in the same spirit.
we would be glad to courteously es-
cnrt to our noteworthy pest house"
In addition: I we'll remember goi 8
to the Union school grounds on the day
of the visit of the senatorial committee
as word was given out that its merb ~ s
would arrive there at a certain hour.
Superintendcnt McDcnnold was busy
rnarshaling the children and I thought
that he would give a few words of vel
come. was there when the congress
sional carriages moved BY. They cid
not stop for an instant; they were NOT
closely in line and if I remember right
w, Senator Beveridge's carriage went
by on a trot. I saw from it no syn
nf recognition Of the greetings of tha
assembled children.
President Mckinley. when visiting
Phoenix. addressed the assembled
school children with kindly courtesy
and evidently esteemed it a privilege to
do So Senator Beve;idSe evidently
did not design to waste sweetness on
the desert air. or his eloqucnce on the
children of what his brain. but not his
soul. believes to he desert
intended to close the address of wei
come bv referring to thee objects Of
special interest tC which we direct the
attention of visitOrs-the capitol, the
United States Indian school and the
model of the Tonic reservoir at the
hoard of trade rooms-but the beautiful
songs given by the high school chorus
were so much better a welcome than
mere words could give, that the ad-
dress was abbreviated.

From these figures it appears tina:
no national convention Of the repubu

late a date as that of 1904. The ~
vember election will occur, however, on
the latest possible date. namely, to-

NOT UP TO WAGNER.

An esteemed Berlin Wsplper-the
name does not matter-takes a. glcomy
Wow of the forthcoming production in
New York of Wagner's grand opera,
"Parsifal." Heretofore, that immortal
work has been a German asset. OF
course, the entrance money, paid into
the box Office at Bayreuth. has served
to swell the private revenues Of Frau
Gosima Wagner. But the travel; the
enormous influx Of cash-paying for
eig- ars; the imr,erious demand jor
lodgings. and the incidental but eager
consumption Of beer, sausage, schnit-
Isl, sauer- l.raut and blood puddinS-all
this has fallen on that frugal neigh

unless it was that he was the more
eloquent FOUNDER Of the tive.
From the earliest times the human
race has taken q great interest in con-
tests of skill and endurance. That in
terest is far Older than news agencies
and newspapers. 1t has by no means
moral class. When the newspapers
and the news agencies came they came
in response to a demand to furnish
the public with the mcst news possible
about such things.

This is unusual. The earning
capacity of a man generally begins
to decrease with years. But the
above quotation was written of a
policy of life insurance in The
Mutual Life Insurance Company Of
New York. 1t is the striking
sentence in a letter of satisfaction
written by Nh Ebe Walter, con-
corning a dividend received on a
Fifteen-Year Distribution policy.
The entire letter which appeared in
the Wilmington Del Meas, No

the policy of insurance referred to
is still more so.

PHOENIX. ARIZONA, DEC. 81, 1908.
A Year OF Events.

Peonl9 are given to the belief that a
vear lust closed has been more mo
mentous than any OF its predecessors
inst as the oldest settler believes
that the present season has been the
hottest or the ccldest within his mem
ory. Years are very much alike as to
the number of blessings or misfor-
tunes they bring to mankind. Now
and then one is accompanied by DIS
asters of more than ordinary magnl-
tuds which at the time are very I'M
pressfve. But by the end of the next
year the impression has largely passed
away.
1t is doubtful now if four men out of
five could name on the instant the
year Of any of the so-called world dis
asters that occurred not liter than the
end of the nineteenth century. Per-
haps not more than three CT five know
the year of the Mont Pelee horror; not
hall of the people are sure of the year
in which the Maine was blown up fol-
lowed Immediately by the war with
Spain.
All this shows that thu best time to
make a retrospect is while the mat
ter is fresh in the mind.
The year which. will close with this
day has net been wanting IN events
of Importance. The one which stands
out The most prominently was the
death OF Leo Mi and the election OF
his successor Plus Y. Following this
was the outbreak Of the smoldering
Balkan troubles which threatened to
draw new political boundaries but
which have ceased within this short
time to engross popular attention. The
gradual approach Of Japan and Russia
toward war may hardly be said 70 be-
Icing to the events of the year but it
gives premise OF making history in thu
year to come. So with the events on
the isthmus. They seem to b opening
the way to a realization of the dream
of Americans for half century Ct
the construction of an interoceanic
canal and perhaps also for a readjust-
ment of the relations between this
country and the countries of the
isthmus.
But of all that has happened in the
country within the year nothing else
has attracted so intense interest as
the development Of the Industrial sit
uation. This interest has already given
place to anxious conjecture regarding
the outcome of it. The confidence of the
people in the country is SO we'll found
ed that there is little apprehension
that the problem will not in the end
be wisely and happily solved but So
buttons are sometimes necessarily pain
full.
But this country is not alone con-
frontad by problems. Great Britain's
reconstruct ton of her fiscal system and
the strengthening of the bonds between
the mother country and the colonies
are perplsxing the statesmen of the
British empire.
This year, too, has been the last OF
men eminent in statesmanship, liter
allure and art. The closing months
have witnessed the deaths of Sails
bury Mommsen and more recently
that of Spencer, the philosopher.
