A STRONG MAN FOR THE PARTY

When the republican convention re- gently held in Prescott nominated Hon. B. A. Fowler for Delegate to Congress, the strongest man in the party was chosen, Mir. Fowler has done more to promote the general well fare of the territory in the last few years than any other man-devoting as he has practically all his time in trying to get the government interest ed in appropriating large sums for building storage reservoirs for irriga- tion. The Tonto dam, now under course of construction, and employing thousand men, stands as monu- ment to his endeavor. Mir. Fowler is president of the Salt River Valley w ater Users Association, and the articles drawn up by this association are now used by the government for similar contracts with water users, where vast irrigation enterprises are on foot.
 During the next few years probably eight million dollars will be expended by the government in Arizona in building dams and storage reservoirs, and there is no man better fitted to look after the business than Mir. Fow- Ter.
 In Washington Mir. Fowler stands we'll with the Congressional leaders, and will be listened to when it comes to wanting something for the territory.
 He stands absolutely for single statehood.
 Mir. Fowler was elected to the legis- lature from Maricopa county before he was as we'll known as he is now, being the only republican member from that county.

A VERY considerable number of democratic newspapers, especially in New York, have indulged in a good deal of grumbling and fault-finding regarding the manner in which the campaign is being prosecuted. Quite naturally Mir. Henry Watterson of Louisville, Ky, asks them to map out safe, sane and practical plan which will ensure the election of Judge Par ker. This is more than any of them can do. It is hard to make headway against solid facts which tell in favor of the present condition of affairs.

It is denied that there is any discord at Panama between the governor, Gen. Davis, and chief engineer Wallace. It will really be long time before serious work is begun on the canal. Another year will be needed to con- plete the sanitary arrangements. Sev- enteen physicians, mostly from the navy, have been told of to go to Panama and assume control of the health bureau. Their aggregate sal aries amount to S65, 900 a year. Sev- eral more doctors will be sent. Col. k. M. Harrod gives it as his opinion that the Panama canal will be open for traffic within five years. He thinks the problem as easy one. But Con- modore Walker and the cheif engineer prudently hesitate to set a limit to the time.

Regardless of democratic predic- tions concerning the coming election, a dead calm of assured security pre- vails in the various departments of the government, and all the bureaus are busy with estimates, reports and the coming winters work. Secretary Morton is considering the request of the Navy Yard employees for an in- crease of wages. Before he grants it he will ascertain what other large in- dustrial companies pay for the same kind of work.

John Clark has been rendered and has accepted from the central com mittee the place on the republican ticket for the assembly made vacant by the withdrawal from the ticket of c. M. Funston, the latter withdrawing for the reason that if elected he could not hold his present position as clerk of the district court. The selection by the central committee to fill the vacan- cy is an excellent one. MT. Clark be- ing one of the pioneer settlers of Coco nino county and one of the leading and progressive citizens.

Besides their frugal diet of rice and vegetables with little fish the Japan ese are teaching the world many new things connected with the carrying on of war. It is said that each soldier Of the Mikado has a fish line in his belt; that he carries small tea-kettle, and fan. He takes bath every chance he gets. and is making very exten- sive use of the telephone. 1t is evi- dent that they have extracted all they they can out of western civilization and have determined to improve upon it.

The price of bread has gone up in England, owing to the belief that there is shortage in the worlds wheat crop. England will be forced to take all the surplus food stuffs the United States can spare, and pay for it too, in gold. This will bring additional prosperity to the agriculturists of America, and will extinguish any deficit there may be in the treasury. For the Americans are liberal buyers in the foreign markets, and imports will increase hand in hand, with ex- ports.

''throw big pot of money into In- diana," fails to astonish the Hoosiers.

his own name and the names of those for
whom he held proxies. OF the 555 shares
of stock issued those present represented
239 shares, or 80 shares less than a ma
jority. There was some discussion as to
whether the meeting should adjourn or
whether an effort should be made to make
up the necessary 80 shares by inducing
other stockholders to come in or send
their certificates. Finally motion was
made to adjourn, subject to the call of
the president, and it was carried. The

been carried out on broad, practical lines
or has it been limited to mere drill?-
The instruction is varied, practical and
thorough.
Is the military instruction to such ex-
tent and thoroughness as to qualify the
average graduate for a commission as a
lieutenant of volunteers ?-Yes, and many
of these students would make fine mater
ial for appointments from civil life to
the regular army and marine corps. They
are, upon graduation, soldiery in appear
ance and manner, and generally well in
structed.
This is certainly one of the best military
schools in the country, and 1t is to be re-
regretted that the law does not allow
that assistance of a financial nature be
be given it. The work done is of high
school grade, both military and academic,
and schools of this character are a great
benefit to the country as shown by the
long list of graduates of this university
who have rendered valuable services in
times of greatest need. Five hundred

questions submitted to the inspecting Off
Ger by the war department.
Is this institution essentially a military
school or is the military instruction mere
ly a single feature in the course?-Essen-
TALLY a military school. The military por-
ton of the work is rated on graduation
as equal to the academic.
Does the curriculum cover fully the
subjects in which a candidate for appoint
ment as second lieutenant from civil life
would be eXamined?-Yes.
Are the students required to be con-
tinually in uniform and do they lead, as
far as surrounding conditions can reason
ably be expected to permit, a military
life?-Yes, at all times at the university
they are under strict diclpline, in town
as well as on the university grounds.
How did the appearance Of the cadets
at inspection compare with what you
would reasonably expect in a similar
organization of regular troops?-They
compared very favorably with regular
troops. Their work was done with intelli-
gence, zeal and spirit.

The "shIrtsIeeves" School of Diplomacy
[St. Adams Messenger

[St. Adams Messenger
Vermont has had enough experience
with that school of politics that considers
secretiveness, assembling, indirection,
subterfuge, and even duplicity as the only
true and legitimate methods of state
craft. The present generation is being
brought up to believe in that Shirt

plain, frank, matter-o f-fact, habitual tell
ing OF the truth and then sticking to it is
diplomatic enough to answer all pur-
poses.
