BEN PARkeR's MONEY.

| From the refusal of a Des Moines
church to accept money from Ben Par
ker saloon operator, much discussion
has arisen over the moral privilege of
a Christian society to accept money
earned after an unchristian fashion.
seems to be that Parkers money may
do as much good In the proper hands
as any other and that the church may
with propriety relieve the runseler of
his surplus coin, whenever he protlers
it. Others. however, still maintain an
old-fashioned idea that Parker's sa
loon money is not a sacrifice At for the
altar and that acceptance of money
gained in disreputable method is
palliation of immortality
There are two sides to the question,
but the church that holds the former
view is likely to have the most money
and the biggest building while the
other has the highest religious stand
ards. There is as the minority argues,
a too evident tendency among Chris
| tan organizations to raise money for
Christian purposes without much in
quiry as to where or how 1t comes. 1t
| does seem a little homogeneous for an
organization that condemns a business
as iniquitous to profit from the pro-
ceeds of that business. The first mis-
sion Of the church is to teach faith and
strengthen morals, not the building of
massive temples or the erection Of
costly affairs. 1t is not the polished
granite with its legend to be read of
men, but simple faith that is the real
cornerstone of the church. There is
no doubt that Parker's $40 bill would
bring with it sense of contamination
to many sincere and simple Christians
and the impulses Of these are oftimes
closer to real religious duty than ar
gunent ever brought anyone There
would be no objection to Parker sell
ing call that he hath and turning the
and reforms. The act itself would
sanctify the money to its new uses,
but Parker the promoter of saloons,
doing out $40 bills to institutions
which denounce both the man and his
business. will always rasp the sensi-
bilities of fine souls. 1t is discordant
to finer religious sense. 1t brings with
it an insinuation of fellowship or Of
purchase. 1t is related of a prominent
saloon attorney that he refused to con-
tribute to worthy movement because
it's objects were inimical to the BUSH
ness of his clients. Mr.. Parker might
himself be one of these clients. 1t is
not astonishing therefore that the Des
Moines minister sees him as a Greek
bearing gifts.
Ben Parker's money goes just as
far as any other mans. Perhaps In
cases like the one under consideration
it goes too far. At any rate Mr.. Par
ker has bought more notoriety with the
ten dollars refused by the Des Moines
preacher than he could have acquired
with $500 spent in regular channels.

FoREcAsTIns ELECTION RESULTS.

Making up his table of the probable
Electoral vote an expert forecaster
aeems it hardly advisable" to concede
that Judge Parker will certainly carry
anything more than the solid south
plus Maryland. This would give him
159 votes. In his table as prepared at
ter confidential interviews with leading
men on both sides Mr.. Jermane places
Roosevelts certain electoral vote at
23S, Parkers, at 159. Sixty one votes
in so-caled doubtful states are given
with a decided leaning to Roosevelt
and eighteen votes from doubtful
states leaning. toward the democratic
column are given to Parker. These
eighteen votes comprise Colorado, five,
Delaware, three, Nevada, three and
West Virginia seven. These are not
conceded but as leaning toward Mr..
Parker. mdiana's fifteen Montana .

AN IMPORTATION THAT PAID.

one instance tne.c emphasizes the
value Of the agricultural department
to the farmers particularly and the
country in general is in the success
which has attended the Introduction of
Macaroni or durum wheat into this
country for seed purposes. 1t grows
and makes a crop when other varieties
fail. and is beirg accepted by the wheat
growers of certain portions of the
northwest as godsend. 1t offers them
q certain and valuable crop.
The increase in the growing of mar
conf wheat in the United States is
something a little short Of wonderful.
Previous to the year 1901 this wheat
and was raised for feed purposes alone.
The estimate of the amount of this
wheat grown in the year 1901 was 100,-
600 bushels, an increase of sixty-fold in
two years. 1t is claimed by the agri-
cultural department that in the entire
history of the department no crop has
ever made the strides and rapid in
crease in popularity as this. Last year
the production amounted to over 49,
100000 bushels. This wheat is now
commanding prices considerably above
crease in the planting has been brought
about by the change in the milling SEN
timent towards the grain thru the dis
coyery that the. durum wheat will make
good bread.
When first introduced the impression
became general that flour made from
the durum wheat was unfit for gener-
al milling purposes. In their report
on the quality of the bread made from
durum flour, compared with bread
made from hard spring and hard win
ter wheat the chemists of the depart
ment make the statement that the
least that carr be said of the durum
wheat flour is. that on an average it
makes as good bread as the other
wheat hours mentioned. The depart
ment considers 1t a matter of regret
that durum wheat should ever have
been known as macaroni wheat, as the
durum makes excellent bread as we'll
as macaroni, and the term macaroni
wheat tends to make persons not know
ing the great possibilities Of durum be-
lieve that macaroni is the only purpose
for which the durum is suited. 1t re-
commends therefore, that the name be
dropped by all dealers and farmers
and that the name durum (hard) be
used entirely.

Rodeo in Progress.

Nearly all the cow punchers in this section were gathered together here Thursday morning prepara- tory to starting out on the annual rodeo. The lateness of the round- up this year is caused by the un- precedented drouth, which, owing to the scarcity of water and feed, made it impracticable at an earlier date. Now there is water every where and the hills and valleys are covered with a heavy growth of grass which has sprung up since the rains began to height varying from six inches to a foot. Much of the branding remains to be done also, owing to the above stated con- ditions.

II love Feast.

Some one, presumably some ladies, enjoyed about seven fine doves Wednesday morning for breakfast. It has recently been the custom of Louie File to go hunting every morning, and on Wednesday he brought in seven doves. These he placed under a barrel in the rear of the Parlor barber shop while he changed his wet shoes. When he returned to clean the birds they were no where in sight, but the colored porter was. It is said that while Louie told him what he was going to do the porter almost turned wite However, Louie turned his attention to the barrel and gave it terrific kick. Forth with the musical laugh of several damsels rang out on the morning air, and probably saved the porter's life, as Louie then knew where the doves had gone. He is thinking of asking one of the ladies to share his dove's nest now.

Petition for Kirk's Pardon.

This week J. P. Somers circula- ted a petition, which secured the signatures of nearly every one in the community, asking that the governor pardon from the peniten- tiary one Billy" Kirk, who was sentenced from Williams about fourteen months ago. Billy" had had an argument with big George Wagner and fired shot from his revolver through the floor of local saloon, presumably to scare Wag- ner. The latter thought at the time that Kirk meant him bodily harm, but time and absence has softened his feelings for Billy" and George was the first one to affix his signature asking for the pardon. Action will be taken by the governor about the first of Sep tember. MT. Somers, after doing what he could here, senk the peti- ton to Flagstaff, where Recorder Hibben took it up and forwarded it to the governors office.

 AS yet there is but one candidate for the council, none for the assem- bly,, one for probate judge, one for recorder, one for supervisor and one for district attorney. Whats the matter?

There should be at least two candidates for each office, so that the people will be able to have a choice in the matter.
 The Santa Fe suffered from wash outs Monday night and as result all trains over the route are delayed. One washout occurred near Crozier, and numerous small wash outs oc- cured between Needles and King man. Crozier has been the scene of at least half a dozen wash outs during the season, and the track had only been temporarily re- paired when the rains Monday night washed it out again. The Santa Fe proposes to practically reconstruct the entire line through that treacherous district.

Being a staunch republi- can, he will no doubt be one of his party's choice as a nominee, in which case he will be hard man to keep out of office.

EMBARGO ON RESERVATIONS.
Guards Will Not Be Honorably
Discharged Until January l..

That the force of jefferson Guards at
the Worlds Fair is not much smaller than
1t is. even after the sweeping reductions
that followed the close of the Fair. is due
TO the fact that there is a prohibition upon
designations from the guard.
This embargo IS IN effect until January
1. OF course. A member Of the Jefferson
Guard may resign before that time, and
May take his luggage ard so whittier he
wish. but he may not obtain his honorable
discharge papers.
This fact is keeping many in the service
who arc anxious to he off without delay
to spend the Christmas holidays with
home folks. The present strength OF the
Guard is 80 men. but it is expected that
Immediately after the first of the year,
when the an~tiresignation embargo is lifted.
the force will be decreased materially by
voluntary designations.
The policy Of the exposition will he
steadily to decrease the guards as the
buildings are gradually cleared Of cX-
hibits and are turned over to the wreck
ers. II Is said that the places of guards
who resign or are discharged will not be
filed.
The reason for tho order against resig-
nations before the first of the year is that
the Exposition management wishes at this
time to guard against a wholesale
diminution of the force.
