The Retirement of COckreII.

When the Missouri delegation in the St Louis convention was presenting Francis Marion CockreH as Missouri's favorite for president. and when Will liam J. Bryan finally selected Cockrel as his choice for the nomination, mo- body in all the world thought that Cockrell could be succeeded in the United States senate by a republican. But SO it is. The republican landslide in Missouri and the election of a re- publican legislature insure the election of a republican senator. Cock-ell will be succeeded by Dick Kerens, the old republican war horse, or by Ethan Allen Hitchcock, present secretary of the interior. or by Cyrus P. Walbridge. late republican candidate for governor. The result in Missouri-a tidal wave majority for Roosevelt. republican legislature by at least fifteen majority. and the retirement of Senator Cockgen constitutes one of the. greatest sur prises of the election.
 In the senate at Washington there will be no jubilation over the defeat of Cockreil, notwithstanding the cer- tainty that Missouri for the next six years will be creditably represented in the senate by a good republican. The republicans will have a majority of at least twenty-five in the senate in any event. and from a partisan standpoint it makes no difference whether the majority is increased to a greater number. But the failure of republican senators to jubilate will be because of their warm esteem for Sen ator Cockren. With many this esteem amounts to affection. And there is good reason for it. CockreIl is not only one of the ablest and most useful men in the senate, but one of the most non-partisan and fair-minded. So inn plicit is the confidence reposed in him that a mere announcement from him that he favors any non-political bill is sufficient to secure it's passage. There are not three other men in the senate who enjoy this unique influ- cnce.
 In Missouri, Doubtless, the people will be dazed when they learn that CockreH is doomed to defeat when the legislature meets. In striking at graft and the rottenness of democratic poli- tics in their state, the voters did not mean tc unseat Cockren.

The Voice of the People.

One of the most significant features of the late election in the states was the emphatic endorsement given to the men most conspicuous as reformers in civic affairs and party politics. Tn Massachusetts William L. Douglas, democrat was elected governor by 35.COO by the same voters that gave Roosevelt a lead of S2OOO. In Wiscon- sin Governor La Toilette, although op- posed by the most popular democrat in the state and by another republican candidate, was reelected by 6O,O0O. In Illinois Charles Deneen, republican, was elected governor by 21O,OOO. the largest plurality ever given a candidate for governor in that commonwealth. In Missouri Joseph W. Folk, democrat, was elected governor by 37,O00. al- though the state went for Roosevelt by 15OOO and elected a republican legis- lature. In Kansas Edward Hoch, re- publican. was elected by upwards Of 75OOO, although opposed by the repub- llcan machine in that state.
 All of these men, republican and democratic, have distinguished them selves by their resolute advocacy of higher standard in politics. by reso- lute opposition to graft and by stand ing distinctively for reform.
 And of course, the stupendous ma jority rolled up for Theodore Roose- welt means that the high ideals for which he stands are the ideals of the American people.
 Essayists in the magazines, an army of writers in thk press, and most col lege professors are fond of taking a gloomy view of politics in the United States. According to them, the people are no longer animated by the civic spirit necessary to protect the repub- lie from decay Cities are pointed out in which dissoIute and corrupt bosses defy the people, and a discouraging state of affairs is truthfully presented. But only one side of the picture is shown. It is true that corruption is rampant in many cities and states. as well. It is true that only too often citizens vote with stupid disregard of their own interests-as here in Ari- zona. for example-but the fact re- mains that the American people as a whole were never more alert to the public welfare, The election of last

General Club News Furnished by Mrs.

In her inaugural address Mrs. ". F Nichols, president of the Womau'a Club, Of Phoenix, sounded a note worthy to pitch the key for all the clubs in clubdom. She said: This club was not instituted as a social organization.

Great Soldiers For Peace.

In little pamphlet entitled. A Prim- CT of the Peace Movement, several famous soldiers are quoted on the ques~ ton of peace and war. Their utter ances prove conclusiveIy that the more thoroughly that question is studied, the clearer it becomes that war must be relegated to the class of human activI- ties that belong only to bar6arous ages. like human sacrifices, cannibaI- ism, etc.
 Napoleon at St. Helena, where he had ample time to review philosoplBcaHy his life, his achievements and his fail~ ures. said:
 "The more study the world. the more I am convinced of the inability of brute force to create anything dur able"
 Washington Is quoted as follows:
 My first wish is to see this plague to mankind banished from the earth % 2 although it is against the professio9 of arms and would clip the wings of some young soldiers soaring after glory, to see the whole world in peace and the inhabitants striving who should contribute most of the happi- ness of mankind"
 General Sherman's terse character ization of war is familiar to all the world Here are two sayings of that warrior which, placed together, forr2 strong testimony:
 q confess without shame that I am tired and Sick of the war Its glory is all moonshine. It is only those who have neither heard a shot nor heard the shrieks and groans of the wound ed, who cry aloud for mere blood, more vengeance, more desolation." " War is hell.'
 General Sheridan is on record with the following prophecy:
 War will eliminate itseIc. By the next centennial, arbitration will rule the world"
 This is General Miles estimate o1 the wastefulness of war:
 "The contrast between war and peace is illustrated by the fact that what has been expended on the Philip pines would have put water on every quarter section of arable land in ouI i country >Vvhere it is required; it would have built for the farmers a splendid system of good roads or for commerce ! two ship. canals across the isthmus.' ! Those who have an impression thai 1 friends of peace are found only among ! dreamers, should study such testimo- nies carefully. War is not glorious | The greatest soldiers that ever Hvet have abhorred it.

The Home Owners of the United States

he 1Ome Owners or tne OnfLeO SlalSS
 The twelfth United States census as a whole is a mass of very dry, unin- teresting reading and would never se- cure a persons attention for one mo- ment unless driven to it by a desire to become acquainted with some of the many facts that have been placed there in convenient reference form. The student who does not mind delving among tabulated statistics will find many things that will come in the nature of a revelation, and one of these facts is that America is a nation of tenants, or was in the year 1860 when this census was compiled.
 The number of homes owned free numbered 4,761, ,211, and the number of rented homes nearly twice that num- Der, being S,196.S74, and the number of homes n.ortgaged 2,1s6,s7 According to the table accompanying the statis- tics in this connection, Alaska holds unique position, having not a single mortgaged- home within her environs and so per cent of her homes being owned free, while the District of Columbia shows the opposite extI eme in the matter of hcmes owned free having a little more than 15 per cent shown as owned free, about g per cent mortgaged and 76 per cent rented.
 Arizona in 1900 had l9,S75 homes of which 15,S71 were owned by the occu- pants. There were 1891 farm homes, of which 6.355 were encumbered for purchase price or other reasons.
 Wisconsin has usurped the place oc- cupied by Kansas some years ago. showing 31 per cent of homes mort gagged, Kansas showing but 20 per cent of homes in the mortgage column. Next to Alaska, the Indian Territory shows the smallest number of mort gagged homes, having but ? per cent, but has 66 per cent of rented homes. Texas homes in the encumbered list shows but 8 per cent, with 37 per cent unincumbered and 55 per cent rented. Hawaii leads in the percentage of rent ed homes, having so per cent. The min ing states, from the table, seem to contain fewer mortgaged homes than the agricultural group. The southern states show an average Of g per. cent of encountered homes.
 The census document from which these figures were taken was compiled. as it states, at a time of special activ- ity and productivity in manufactures, and thus its record is of a volume of industry at almost high-water mark. There is nothing particularly startling | about the showing, but it may serve to correct an erroneous impression pre- vailing that the people of this country are home-owners, and if a correction of the error will stimulate some one tC get into the nome owned free" column, the dry statistics will not have been worked over in vain.
