called one OF the kickers if il was so
desired. The meeting could read
the ordinance item by item and de-
eide what it wanted but it would do
no good. He was oppo ed 10 this
proceeding on principle: A council
had beer elected and had passed a
law and a meeting Of citizens was
here to seek to annul it. A munlcl-
pality of this kind could not be run
without officers. This kind of work
might be kept up from January to
December. It didn't look right.
It was only a year until the next
election and then the present coun-
ell could be turned out. This pro-
ceeding didn't look right. 1t looked
like notification.
DR.. Pelham thought that city
council would be ready and willing
to consider a request from a citizens
meeting OF such proportions as this.
Some felt that the license imposed
upon them was very burdensome.
Should they be denied the. right Of
appeals He favored the motion to
take up the matter item by item.
He denied that the citizens here
were actuated by any feeling of
indignation.
DIR. MCINTOSH sUGG ESTIoN.
DR.. James Mcintosh suggested
that council be requested to give
notice OF some day on which they
would hear all complaints. # any
citizen had any complaint let him
go to the council Individually and
let the council consider his COM
plant. He didn't think it just
proper to criticise the action of
council. He suggested that as an
amendment to the motion.
Mr.. Alan Johnstone said if the
meeting was willing he was willing
to withdraw his motion and let DR..
Mcintosh put motion. He came
IN no spirit Of unfriendliness to the
council, nor as a kicker, or protestor,
but simply with the Others to frame
a1espectful request. The meeting
did not want to. harbor ill-will and
wait until the next election and
tnrn the council out, and if any one
present harbored such ill-will be did
not know of it.
COL. GEORGE JoHNsToNE

of Mr.. Alan Johnstone's motion.

of Newberry and had heretofore

certainly had a right to know what

then more was being asked for. He
did not think DR.. McIntosh's sug-
sestion would accomplish anything.
A man could present his individual
complaint, but the higher question,
Why the necessity for this ordin-
ance, would not be touched upon.
Col. Johnstone was applauded.
Mr.. R. q. WEIGH
said he had a right to be here with
out apology. MI. Alan Johnstone's S
motion would take too long and no
conclusion would be reached. AS
to DIR. McIrtosh's molten, the
council could not stay in session
long enough to hear all grievances.

if any were to complain they were
the ones. The men in council now
did not put on the water works

debts Some of them might call on

present council and know who

and the merchants and the other
classes go before council. He would
guarantee that their requests would
be respectfully heard and their
wrongs, if any, righted. When

BRITISH SUCCESS IN TIBET.

The signing of the new Tibetan treaty at Lhassa indicates that the British expedition will retire from that Ialtitudinous country before the cold weather sets in. The affair has been nicely managed. The ruler of Tibet has escaped out beyond somewhere; ; and no treaty could be made with him. The British, therefore, have negotiated with minor functionaries, who remain ed in Lhassa, on the theory that the dala llama had abdicated by running away from his capital, when is was in the hands of his enemies. 4 new lama will be promptly installed, and perhaps placed on a salary, by the bus iness-like Anglo Saxon soldiers and diplomats, notwithstanding that the head of Tibet is also the supreme head of the Buddhist religion. which has at least 100000 900 votaries in Asia. The attitude of the Englishmen in this business was well illustrated years ago by that under official of India who wired one day to the capital of the vicerOy: New God appeared on the frontier. Have ordered out the police.' The selection of a new head of the great Buddhist religion by a minor British officer, as part of the days work, CT as a mere incident to Lord Curzon's policy of finding a new mar ket for brick tea and cutting out Rus sian influence in Tibet, looks small in the news of the day, but it is something after all, to stagger the imagination Springfield Republican.

The Attempt to Manufacture Rell&'
 iOus Issues.

The astute Tucson Star. democratic bolts the nomination of Mark Smith as the candidate of the democratic party for congress. Upon examination of Mir. Smiths record, the Star finds that Smith is put forward by the Mormon hierarchy" (whatever that Is), and that his election will mean early control of Arizona by the Nor mons.
 Republicans will cheer every time the Star shies a brickbat at Mir. Smith real brickbats, mind you-but they will not grow wildly enthusiastic over the use of ammunition which may prove far more damaging to Arizona than to the democratic candidate.
 Seriously. there is absolutely no req son for raising the Mormon question" in Arizona. This territory is in quite as much danger of Mormon domination as of destruction from an Alaskan gIa- Cier.
 The Republican went into his ques- ton pretty thoroughly during the con- gressional debate on the omnibus state hood bill. Some of the opposing sen ators, In their eagerness to islander and injure Arizona manufactured or bor- rowed wild tales of Mormon conspira- cies to dominate this region. As we demonstrated at the time, such talk is the veriest tcmmyrot. The Mormons constitute but an infinitesmal fraction of our population, and that fraction grows smaller. approximately, every year. AS nearly as can be ascertain ed our few Mormons are nearly equal ly divided between the two parties, the democrats having slight advant- age. In Graham county the members of that church are mostly democrats. In Apache county they are mostly re- publicans. Of the small colony of Mormons in Maricopa county, a major tty are democrats. But whether dem ocrats or republicans. they are good citizens, all. The presence of a Nor mon as a defendant in a criminal court would cause astonishment. the spectacle is so rare. In their territorial platform the democrats were guilty of a piece Of dema gogy in injecting a plank designed to please the Mormon element. but republicans can well af- ford to give democratic politicians a monopoly of that kind of politics.
 And certainly. MT. Smith Is suffi- ciently vulnerable without the raising of religious questions at his expense
 Mere important than the political fortunes Of Mir. Smith or any indiyid- ual is the good name of Arizona abroad. And we wish il distinctly un- derstood abroad. as we'll as at home. that there is no "Mormen question" or any kind of religious question or issue among our people.

 America rejoices in the honest free dom of its girls. It would not have them hampered by the social codes of Europe, according to which a young girl is allowed no independence of thought and action. But at the same time it cannot be denied that the 'smartty' girl is becoming too promi- nent a figure in the foreground. As a general rule this type of girl can be easily discerned. Her conversation. her laughter and generally her clothes are loud, and her favorite way of at tracting attention to herself is in the accepting of challenges of companions to do the outlandish things that come under the head of 'dares."
 One of the responsibilities facing the American parent is the proper 'curbing of this "dare-deviT' girl. and the elimi- nation of the mischief with which she constantly threatens herself and others Denver Republican.

THE GIRL WHO TWILL NOT TAKE
 A DARE"

Apparently the young woman who will go to any extent of foolishness simply in order to show that she will not take a dare" deserves to be put in the same category with the boat rocking and didn't know-it-was- load ed' individuals. and classed as public menace.
 Philadelphia has a specimen of this class, a girl who, when dared by some companions, turned on the cleo tric current when the motorman was fixing the headlight of his car The car leaped ahead and dragged the mo- torman some distance, the poor fellow begging the girl to turn off the cur rent But the girl became frightened and jumped from the ear. which crashed into another car, crushing the motorman so that his death resulted The girl is now held charged with fin voluntary manslaughter."
 Another instance of the foolish girl who will not be dared" was called to public attention in Derby, Conn, the other day. A young girl who was dared by some friends, went up in balloon, just to show that she was

himself out so long as the desert offers such attractions
 It is surprising to find the Chicago paper so intimately acquainted with the attractions of our deserts, and at the same time so ignorant concerning the size of the west. After Uncle Sam has expended all of the 25 millions now in the reclamation fund, and after he has expended further millions until every available reservoir site and all available water have been utilized. the great silent desert will still exist, its vast area not appreciably diminished. In Arizona, for example, there are 90 utmost not more than one million acres can be irrigated. for the water supply is not adequate for more than a million acres. In like proportion are the desert and the water throughout the arid region.
 Assuming that there are 100 million acres of farming land in the arid west. a fair estimate would be million acres which can be irrigated. in time. It will not seriously diminish the arable desert to take but its twentieth part for irri- gated farms. And if we include the mountainous regions under the general description of desert, we have more than 800 million acres. Hence. when the great task of national irrigation shall have been completed, a map Of western America showing tbe irriera ted areas will prove in graphic form that the alluriug and mighty desert is still supreme and unconquerable.

The Real Issue.

Some of our democratic papers take the democratic platform seriously, and solemnly declare that statehood is the issue in Arizona this year" The fact is that statehood is on equality with the Dred Scott decision as an issue before Arizonians in this year of grace.
 Candor compels us to say that the real issue to be determined in the con gressional election is the question whether there are more democrats than republicans in this territory.

Which WII Weaken Elrst7


 The war between Japan and Russia is a struggle between an empire made up of the most inharmonious clements and an empire wholly national in spirit.
 The world has never perhaps beheld such a combination of incongruous ele- ments as the Russian empire presents today. The educated classes include some of the best informed and the most highly polished men and women in Europe, many of whom openly ex- press ideas of an advanced liberal type. They include also an intellectual pro- letariat which has embraced, with all the ardor of the Slav nature, the wild est and most dangerous theories of French and German socialists. These men have the tastes and the ambitions which education brings. with no req sonable prospect of gratifying either. Beneath is the dumb peasant order, permeated here and there with the new ideas which the villagers who have mi grated to the newly established manu- featuring centers or who have come into contact with the artisans and the urban workmen in the army bring homo with them. Over all the bur eaucracy and the police exercise what is too often in practice an irresponsible sway. The church in her own sphere is as intolerant and as unenlightened as the state. Most ominous of all, the economic conditions of nobles, of man. ufacturers and artisans and of the agricultural masses appear to be be- coming more and more grievous. The most enlightened men of the empire. deplOre the evils that daily witness and recognize that profound constitutional reforms are indispensable to remedy them. Yet they are acutely conscious of the dangers which such reforms must almost necessarily bring, and they have so far failed to devise any known project which promises to ef- feet the transition from the half-Ori- ental, half-mediaeval state, which Russia now is, to conditions essential for the development of modern life and civilization.
 Japan, on the other hand, is an em- pire with no complex or incongruous elements in its population. It is an en- pire composed of single race of peo- pie, with net the slightest admixture of foreign blood. Peasant and noble alike are equally loyal to the throne. The emperor is regarded with a ven eration little short of worship. It is true that here and there in Japan there are some slight manifestations of in terest in the doctrines of socialism. but so far the ardent spirit of patriotism which animates the Japanese people is not disturbed. Every Japanese soldier fights as cheerfulIy, and is as ready to die in battle, as if he were fighting solely for the lives of his family.
 These facts enable the outside world to form some opinion as to which an- tagonist will first cry enough" in this stupendous war. The Russian gov ernment grirnly announces that the struggle will go on until Russia has conquered. If this resolution continues to prevail. We are much more likely to see the end of autocratfc government at St. Petersburg than the end of the war with Russia the victor.
