Senator Bard Should Resign.


 One of the public questions upon which Southern California is prac- tically unanimous is the admission of Arizona to statehood. Our in terests and our sympathies unite in supporting the legitimate aspira- tiOns of Arizona for statehood. Broad reasons of policy unite the Pacific coast in desiring another Pacific coast state in the Union with its senators.
 Arizona is entitled to statehood. It is already a rich producer of minerals and of live stock, and has already made strong entry into the field of agriculture. Much as has been done in Arizona in agriculture by irrigation, the present produc- ton is as nothing compared to the certain promise of the future. Its mineral resources show great prom ise. Senator Bard was elected sen- ator by the California state legislat- ure as representative of Southern California. About the only thing in which he has been prominent in at Washington is his relentless op- position to Arizona statehood.
 In the speech which he made in the senate on this subject the Sena- tor attacked the present resources of Arizona as being on the wane. He painted Arizona's future in pale blue, and, most unwarranted of all, Bard attacked the people of Ari- zona.
 Another thing that he did was to attack the Mormon religion and those protesting its faith. What ever is to be said against the Nor mon religion or the good faith of that church in giving up the doc Urine of polygamy, there is nothing properly to be said against that re- ligion or any other in the senate of the United States. An attack on any religion by public officer of ficially is contrary to the spirit of the constitution of the United States.
 In this Arizona matter Senator Bard has misrepresented the senti- ment and interests of California and of Southern California especial ly. He is against the interests of the Pacific coast and of just deal ing in the United States. It was only fitting that in this misrepre- sentative course the Senator should attack the American principle of religious tolerance. As far as the Mormon church goes the way to strengthen and perpetuate it is to persecute it. "The blood of the martyr is the seed of the church." !" The thing for the politician to do with religion is to let it alone. If people violate the law and claim religious reasons for doing so the religion must not be attacked, but the particular violation of the law Senator Bard should resign.-Los Angeles Saturday Post.

Owes His Life to a Neighbours Kindness.

.
 MT. D. P. Daugherty, we'll known throughout Mercer and Sumner counties, w. Va, most likely owes his life to the kindness of a neigh Dor. He was almost hopelessly af- f1icted with diarrhoea; was attended by two physicians, who gave him little, if any relief, when a neigh Dor learning of his serious condition, brought him in a bottle of Cham berlain's Collie, Cholera and Diar- rhoea Remedy, which cured him in less than twenty-four hours.

GRAND VIEW HOTEL
At the Grand Canyon Ready for Busi-
 ness October 1. 1903.

NSSS OCtODeJ l. lyUc.
 John J. Byrne passenger agent of the coast lines of the Santa Fe, has sent out for publication the follow ing circular:
 The Grand View hotel, which will be ready for the reception of guests on October 1, 1903, stands on the highestelevation of the south rim of the Canyon-a altitude 7,5OC feet-overlooking the Canyon at it's greatest depth. Here may be had the most extended view of the Can yon and surrounding country.
 Spring water from the Canyon is used exclusively on the tables of the hotel. Rates at Grand View hotel are $3 per day or SIS per week. Guides, animals for the trail or rim, and carriages at req sonable ratee. Grand View hotel is reached from the Santa Fe Grand Canyon station by regular convey ance, leaving at 9:3O a. m. and ar- irving at Grand View at Il: 40 a. m. daily.
 The original Grand View trail presents glorious views at every turn. From a mesa half way down, three trails lead in different direc- tions to the Plateau" one thous- and feet lower. One leads to the spring, thence to the river; another to remarkable viewpoint where the edge of the plateau overhangs the granite gorge; the third winds northward along the platea u, through wonderful "side canyons" ten miles to the waters edge, where it connects with the "Red Canyon" trail
 The popular trip is from Grand View hotel down Red Canyon trail to the river, returning over Grand View trail by way of the copper mine and limestone cave, the latter a beautiful sight, with it's vaulted ceilings sparkling with stalactites, its floors a fretwork of moss-like stalagmites. Guests of Grand View hotel ''doing the trail" are conduct ed through the copper mine and the limestone cave without extra charge.
 The trip requires two days, meals and tents being provided at the mine. Here the sunrise and sum- set effects are most beautiful. Other attractions easily reached from Grand View hotel are the cliff dwellings, the asbestos deposits and the view of Coconino Basin and Painted Desert. From Grand View to Moran's point the distance is five miles; to Bissell's point, seven miles. The longest stretch of river may be seen from these points. Distances: To cliff dwellings, six miles; to copper mine, four miles; to limestone cave, five miles; to plateau, seven miles; to the river, eight and one-half miles.
 The return trip from Grand View hotel to the Grand Canyon station may be made daily, leaving Grand View at 6:3O a. m., arriving at the Grand Canyon at S:3O a. m., con- meeting with the Grand Canyon train for Williams.
 Stop overs at Williams for side trip to the Grand Canyon may be had in either direction on both rail- road and sleeping car tickets with out extra charge.

tor Chauncey Mitchell Depew is his
devotion to the newspaper clipping.
Nearly every man in public life to-day
subscribes to one or other of the many
clipping bureaus, for that is much the
easiest way to learn what the news
papers say about him, but Depew
keeps a goodly supply of his clippings
constantly by him, so that he can
consult them whenever he has a spare
moment.
When he leaves his Office in New
York, or his committee room in Wash
ington, he sticks a handful of the
latest cuttings he has received into the
left-hand side pocket of his sack coat,
and, as soon as he gets into a cab or
car, he begins pulling them out, read
ing them one by one, and transferring
them carefully to his right-hand side
pocket as fast as they are read. In
thus utilizing spare time for the pc
rusal of his clippings, he keeps much
closer tab on the comments made on
himself and his acts than almost any
other man now in the public eye.

Widener Can't Ride on His Trolley

P. A. B. Widener, who owns and OPP

railways in a score of American cities,
never rides in a trolley car when ne

Reeds queerest fad was a grotesque
statuette of an elephant about six
inches high. Whenever he was puz-
zled, or when he had the blues-and
even he had them sometimes-it was
his wont to stand and contemplate his
little elephant in all its ugly grotesque

Mr.. Carnegie likes to talk to tall

them how they managed to grow tall.
Mr.. Carnegie has never got over his
boyhood ambition to be a big man,
physically. He once said to a friend
apropos of this disappointment:
People tell me that I'm a big man.
But I'm not as big as I'd like to be.

Little traits of great men tell US

A ]. Cassatt, president of the Penn
sylvania, who is forcing hole under
the Hudson into New York for the use
of his railroad, likes horse better than
anything else in the world, but his
tastes are so catholic and his informa-
ton so varied that he is able to make
himself interesting on almost any topic.
He is one of the charter members
of a certain swell dining club in
Philadelphia-that town is famous for
such organizations-whos methods,
though vastly more interesting, re-
mind one of progressive euchre party.
Every member must attend every din
ner, or be fined, and each must invite
one guest-no more or less. There are
twenty-one members, and thus fully
attended dinner is always served TO
forty-tWo. Often the number is less,
but the clubs round table Is so cum
ningly devised that it can be made just
large enough for whatever number
draws around it.
When all are seated, each guest is
placed between two members and eacn
members between two guests. AT a
certain stage of the dinner, on signal,
the members who are charged not
only to entertain the guests but also
to bring out whatever is in them, all
change places, so that nobody mas a
chance to bore anybody else. This
maneuver is repeated several times
during the evening.
There is no formal speaking, but the
dinners are so interesting, quite apart
from the menu, that 1t is well worth
scheming a long time ahead to win
an invitation to attend one. At one
OF them the members and guests pres
ent included the most famous nerve
specialist in the United States, a gen.
eral in the army, the Governor of
state, an explorer fresh from strange
lands, a great ship builder, a titled
foreigner, a world-famous financler,
etc, but Cassatt's was the most in
teresting personality about the table.
he talked like an expert about hack
neys, runners, trotters Assyrian an
uqulties, German operas, irrigation
nervous diseases, Thibetain goats, au-
loInobiles, pictures, statuary, ecclesi-
astlcal architecture, and, in fact, every
Topic he was approached upon except
ing railroading. Concerning this he

Coal From Canada and Elsewhere Can Be
Imported Free Of Duty.

For one year all coal will be imported
practically free of duty. and for all time
hereafter anthracite coal is on the free
list.
The House passed the bill granting
for one year a rebate of the full duty on
all coal imported into the United States,
and when the bill reached the Senate
that body added an amendment before
adopting the bill, by which anthracite
coal shall be forever on the free list.
Both the prompt action of Mr.. Aldrich
in accepting the House bill and his con-
cession to Mr.. Vest, who has been max
ing his fight for free coal, created an
agreeable surprise. There was no hard
and fast dehnation of just what shall be
regarded as anthracite coal, so that it is
quite possible that after the period of
the rebate expires all coal not showing
OF per cent. of carbon will again be held
as dutiable under the Dingley law. But
for the next IL months coal is practically
on the free list, ard it is not impossible
that if the American coal mines Sue
ceed in eking out an existence during
that period in spite of foreign competi-
ton. that Senator Aldrich and his col
leagues will hesitate before they oppose
a motion to keep coal on the free list
