There was unloaded at our office door
Monday morning, a stalk of corn from
the field of Andrew Peterson, that meas
ured eleven feet in height We were
bracing it up when along came short
man, stopped, run his hands into the
pockets of his pants, spread out his legs,
cooked his eye up to the top OF the stalk,
and said he had corn taller than that.
Pretty soon another man came along and
said he had corn that would beat it all
hollow, and when the third man came
along and said that it wasn't much of
stalk compared with his, we came to the
conclusion that there is going to be a
corn crop around here after all.-Am-

quet hall was a brilliant one. The
huge oaken rafters were decorated
with flags and bunting, the hall WAS
brilliantly lighted, showing to the best
advantage the glittering uniforms and
the dresses and jewels of the women.
London has had a mayor for more
than 700 years. The first one, Henry
Fitzalwyn held the office twenty four
years. When he died. in 1914, King
John granted the city a new charter,
under which mayor has been chosen
annually for $50 years. though he was
not called lord mayor until 1354-five
hundred and forty years ago.
The lord mayor is taken from among
the aldermen, and is elected by what
are called the liverymen, who are the
freemen of the ninety-one guilds rep
resenting the various trades. 1t used
to be the ambition of merchants to be
the lord mayor, but since the metro
politan district has become but a small
part of London the lord mayor appears
to be one of the greatest officials of
the kingdom only in the eyes of for
eigners.
1t has been common report that only
a very rich man could hold the office,
because the salary of $4,000 a year
would not pay for the lord mayors
thows, the grand dinners and other ex-
penses which the incumbent is bur-
dened with. But lately the belief is
growing that thrifty man in that
seat can put by something for rainy
day.
! The procession is the popular and
spectacular feature of lord mayors day.
In it's origin the procession was in
tended as an assertion of the import
ance of trade and commerce, long pre-
viously bround down by kings and
mobiles The city companies came into
existence, formed powerful munich
pality. and, making Guild hall their
headquarters, took care, as a warning
to all whom it might concern, to have
pomp. In the course of time the cere-
mony lost this particular significance
But there was no sign today that it
had lost it's hold on the affections OF
the community, to judge from the
many thousand who stood for hours in
order to view it.
Sir James Thomson Richie, the new
/ lord mayor, has been an active member
of the city corporation and is head OF
the firm of w. Richie & Sons, in which
his brother, who recently resigned the
CHARACTERISTIC of the exchequer. was al
one time member. The new lord
mayor is sthe elder of the two broth
ers by three years, having been born in
1888. He is a native of Dundee, where
his father was engaged in the jute
trade. He is reputed to be very
wealthy.

LONDON ''LORD MAYORS SHOW"
CELEBRATED WITH FULL HONOR
An Old Established Custom of the English People
Observed With Great Popularity in
Honor of the New Mayor

Especial Telegram to Evening Teller)
LONDON, Nov. 9.-The time hon
ored Lord Mayors show took place to-
day. and the new lord mayor of Lon
don, Sir Thomas Ritchic, was formally
installed in office, succeeding Sir Mar
Gus Samuel. The old established GUS
tom showed little sign of becoming OBJ
solete, and owing to the popularity of
the new lord mayor and some unusual
features i'm the street parade the oc-
casion was a most interesting one.
The procession started from the
Guild hall shortly after 10 o'clock. The
pageant passed through dense masses
of cheering people while windows, bal
comics and roofs were very generally
utilized, and the larger open places,
such as Trafalgar square, were crowd
ed to their capacity. The handsome
floats, typifying epochs in the national
history, various trades, industries, etc,
were enthusiastically received.
When the procession reached the law
courts the lord mayor, in his full civic
robes preceded by the recorder and
attended by the retiring lord mayor
the mace bearer, sword bearer chaplain
and aldermen in their able-trimmed
gowns, together with other civic func-
tionaries, proceeded to the court of the
lord chief justice, where they were re-
ceived by the judges attired in scarlet
robes, full bottomed wigs and cooked
hats. There the usual solemn courte-
sizes were exchanged, the lord mayor. In
the exercise of an immemorial right
remaining covered while the recorder
read a eulogistic review of his career
1t was in the usual Sunday school style
referring to his blameess youth, sue
cessful commercial career and we'll
spent life, crowned by the attainment
of the highest civic honors.
From this court, after the retiring
lord mayor had been formally present
ed to the judges, the procession went
to the court of appeals and was re-
ceived by the master of the rolls ano
the appeal judges, attired in then
robes of black and gold. The ceremon-
les here were merely formal. The dig
nitaries then returned to their coache!
and resumed the march to the city.
The days pageantry concluded this
evening with the customary banque
in the Guild hall. The speakers in
cluded members of the government anC
other public men of prominence. Am
bassa or Choate was among the hon
ored guests. The lord mayor sat a

Professor Washington, the resolutions

formation, has glorified the revised
constitution of the south; has minimiz-
cd the Jim Crow car outrage; has at
tackled the wisdom of the fourteenth
and fifteenth amendments; has depre-
ciated the primary Importance of the
ballot: has preached TO the colored peo-
pie of silent submission to intolerable
conditions, and makes his people a by
word and laughing stock before the
world" that he is not fit leader for
the colored race. and no president who
recognizes him as a political leader
should receive the colored vote of the
north"
All of which is to say that Booker
Washington is not liked by negro poll
ticians because he insists that the negro
should think of something besides the
pursuit of Office. If the colored man
is "a byword and 4 laughing
stock it is his own fault and not the
fault of Booker Washington.

The Tonic Road.
gates

1t requires no argument to convince
all residents of the Salt River valley
that it would be difficult to place too
great an estimate on the value of the
proposed wagon road from Phoenix TO
the Tonic Basin dam. Were all sup
plies to be forwarded to the dam from
here the traffic would make Phoenix
and Mesa City exceedingly lively during
the three years of construction. And
the value of the road to this section
would not cease with the com pletion of
the dam If an electric line should be
for all time. be a great attraction for
tourists Hundreds of people travelling
to the coast every year would make the
side trip to Phoenix especially in order
to see the wonderful dam and the great
lake lying under the rim of the Mogol-
Ion mountains.
But how is the road to be secured?
That is a question which is not yet
clear, and so far no feasible plan for
solving the question has been present
sd The preliminary estimate by En-
gineer Davis of the geological survey
that the government might require an
expenditure approximating 100000 by
this community for the road in order
to make Phoenix the supply point in
stead of Globe. lays before our people
pcrplexing and, possibly, an insuper-
able difficulty. But Phoenix is not in
the habit of accepting anything as i'm
possible. and happy solution may yet
be found. Certainly, the subject is ex-
trcmely interesting. and it should have
the careful consideration of everybody.

The Boss Crank.

The Rev. Wade Hamilton, pastor of
the Methodist church, south, of Ven
tura. California. preached a sermon last
Sunday which stamps him as the
champion crank thus far developed by
the hot weather. Hamilton told his
flock that the removal of President
Mckinley had been in direct answer to
prayer; that the w. c. T. Z. had pray
ed for the presidents removal. the
reason being that Mr.. Mckinley had
not taken the stand on the canteen
question that was desired by the tenn
perance women. and that \ girlle of
prayer had been established around the
earth fer his removal.

truly yellow treatment. in fact, it may
lead on to a vast amount Of very prec-
ious mischief. The trouble is that we
cannot be sure of even this much frCn
one day tc another Any fine morning
we may be told that nobody fired pis-
tol and that Vice Consul Magelssen
was not there, anyhow. and there We'll
be with a fleet laundering along the
Syrian coast and about as much real
business on its hands as the pirate
craft in "Girohe- Girofla.''
We continue to hope, however, that
something will be left CT the tragedy
when truthful and intelligent journal
ism shall have dcne its work. AS things
now stand, we have a poor enough
story to cling to. At all events, it has
not been denied that the pistol was
fired in Beirut or that Mr.. Magelssen
was IL town at the time. The assump
tior that the shot was intended for our
vice consul is not as logical as we
could wish. for the fact that he was not
wounded is an awkward obstacle in the
way of snap judgment; but we have as
much right to accept the affirmative of
the proposition as the other fellows
have to insist upon the negative. Until
it can be shown. beyond all possibility
CT doubht, that no pistol was fired, or
that Mr.. Magelssen was not within d
mile of the spot we propose to main
tain the theory that assassination was
intended; that our flag has been out
ragged; and that the Turkish govern
mcnt has insulted us. In this way only
can we sympathize with the excitement
now raging in the state department or
contemplate with a straight face the
ma jestc demonstration CT our naval
along the Syrian coast.
Really, though, we cannot follow
Gen. Miles in his assumption that an
Will be demanded and exact
ed. 1t is one thing to assert that an
ill-conditioned Mohammedan has fired
ct an American official with honiCida1
intent, and thereupon to make vast
display of national resentment with a
view to Boiling the national blood That
is all very fine and serves to While
away an otherwise weary summer
week. But as we have no corpse to
produce in evidence, or for chat matter
not so much as a wound or a bullet
hole in Mr.. Magelssen's coat tail, it will
be difficult to coin this amusing little
opera bouffe into legal-tender money.
Our safest plan is to whoop it up for
all it is worth, or for much more than
it is worth, until some other and more
available roorback comes along
Washington Post.
