So. cialiSm thriyeS in Europe because 1t atllliates with democracy in opposition to system that does not recognize to the full the reward of individual ef- fort. Half of the socialists in Germa- ny are not socialists at heart, but dem crats.

Some grand specimens are being gath cred of variety of fruits, illustrating our wide range of temperature. This exhibit, together with quite complete horticultural and agricultural display in connection with a proper exhibit vf our mineral resources, will be an educa- tional feature of value to Arizona.

Lant K. Salsbury's confession in
 the Grand Rapids water scandal i'm
 plicates all three of the Grand Rapids papers, charging the manager of the Democrat with having accepted a bribe of s3,333, the manager of the Press $5, ,0OO and the manager of the Herald $lO,C00. Disclaimers are of course in order and have already com menced to make their appearance, but there is, in any event, one consol- ation for the newspaper men of Michigan and that is that their Grand Rapids brethren were not on the cheap list. When state senators were on the list at S200, representatives in the legislature at $60 and aldermen at $500 and S350, it is some consolation to find that even reporter was valued at $500, while the newspaper managers figured at fancy prices, as noted above.

PLANNING THE CAMPAIGN

It has been given out through ad- ministration channels at Washington hat the present session of congress will likely be uneventful so far as i'm oortant legislation is concerned, bar ing the Panama canal treaty and such egislation as may be necessary to make it effective.
 The republican leaders realize that they will have no easy job in re.elect- ng President Roosevelt, and therefore hey do not intend to take any unnec- ,sssry chances. Their policy Is to un. iertake no new legislation of conse. luence during the session just begun. Ut is already automatic here at the capital" says Walter Wellman, "that nearly every important subject of leg islstion is to go over till after the pres idential election. Among these are, tariff reform, currency legislation, the southern congressional question, and the race issue. To this list is now to be added the ship subsidy bill, which Senator Hanna has finally consented to have go over.
 There is said to be no doubt of the opposition of the Rockefellers and J J. Hill to Roosevelt, and the predc- tion, pleasing to the democrats, Is made that these interests will in their effort to defeat the president contrib ute hberally to the democratic cam paign fund. However, thls statement will probably be received by democrats with some skepticism.
 Senator Hanna seems to think that should Judge Parker be nominated New York state would be debatable ground, and that at any rate there is likely to be stuff and stubborn fight next fall, with the chances favoring Roosevelt because of his popularity in the west and northwest.

Much comment is made on General
 Bristow's criticism of the criminal
 waste in the matter of clerk hire in the
 postal service. Clerks were appointed to postoffices where they were not needed. Promotions were made with out consulting postmasters. Clerks were installed and paid where no serv- ice was rendered. Forty eight clerks in first class postoflices have received salaries from Sl00 to S400 in excess of what they were entitled to. These are the results of the spells doctrine. These are the results of dictation by grating politicians. This is the charge Tor the maintenance of the political fences of inefficient congressmen. Heath's excuse is that the burden of distributing patronage fell on him. He defends himself by declaring that the demands of congressman on him were such that he was forced by super for political influence to retire both his conscience and his intelligence and conspire to rob the treasury by creating salaries for services not rendered and net required.
