THE CAVE CREEK P. o.
A Combination of Events Which Has
 Left It Without Postmaster.

Cave Creek. Feb. ?. Special Core spondence of The Republican)-Th postoffice affairs of Cave Creek have got into fix for which there is no special provision in the postal laws: another thing being forgotten that things don't happen up there in a nor nal and natural way. Early in October last, Judge Mccormick sent in his re- signation to take effect when the pat rons of the office should agree on, and procure commission for, some person to succeed him, as postmaster The judge had been the only one with time and disposition to run the office; had kept it up for nearly eight years; and wishing to make a radical change in his plans and pursuits. schemed to be free of it within a reasonable time. As no one vet volunteered to take it (and the compensation never having been at tractive) it was considered fortunate that a young man named Leo David offered to take it. He was one of a. party of five 'lungers" recently arrived, and all of them but David were far gone with tuberculosis. David was cul- pablo in giving assurances that he was In the incipient stages thereof. His pe- tition was made with difficulty. for however much we esteem these unfor- tunate people, the objection to amy of them handling family mail is well founded. All through November and December David was seen to rapidly fail Squeals and kicks were daily piled on Mac. and he himself begged that David be dropped. but as David seemed a ''Hobson's choice and the situation a ground hog one, things were allowed 10 drift along to the last week in December. when David got his commission. and at the same time he collapsed. Then it was revealed that ! his lungs were nearly gone and that he could never run the office. The scheme of the leading patrons seems to have been to get him his bond and commits sion and have these bondsmen appoint | Mac. or someone else for a while. Da- | vid failed rapidly and on the 18th, learning that he could not survive be- yond two weeks, gave up, sent in his resignation, and on the 17th took the train at Phoenix for his home at Lex
 ington, Ky. his condition indicating that he might die enroute. One of his ] intimates told me three days ago that he died on the 20th at or near New ! Orleans.

 was given. The governor repeated his
 request in way indicating that he de
 sired information as to the personality
 of the man. The judge did not want
 to reveal David's condition nor did h.
 want to recommend a "cadaver" as q
 postmaster. but the sympathies of thc
 ladies were enlisted in behalf of the
 poor fellow and the men, misunder standing the governors part in the matter, forbade anything being said ol

 judge, confused by these conflicting in

POSITION OF FIR. ADAMS
Why the Hands of the Arizona Dele-
 Sation Should Not be Tied.

To the Editor of The Republican, Sir:
 From articles appearing in newspa- per and discussions that are being car ried on by republicans in the territory, it would seem that the federal officials are very anxious to have de,egaticn to the national convention instructed by the territorial convention to vote for President Roosevelt's nomination. Tn re has never been a time in the history of the territory when the federal ap- DointeeS have not used every means in their power to secure an instructed del e~ation, and if Arizona is a territory for fifty years.> every time the repub- lican party selects delegates to the na- tiOnal convention the men appointed to office by the president will use the.r best efforts to secure a delegation in- structed for his renomination Of course no man will take exception to the dut> of men holding office under such an appointment, as they are in duty bound not only to secure the re- nomination of the man who appoints them. but also to use their very best efforts to inform him that he made a wise choice when he selected them for the particular offices they occupy. 4 federal office holder said tonne few days ago that "any man who was against an instructed delegation, was against Roosevelt" Shortly after wards he qualified his statement by in forming me that he was appointed to office by President Roosevelt and that he wished to continue in that office and be re-appointed, and therefore. he was in favor of an instructed delegation. Of course, no person planes any federal officeholder for using every means in his power to show the president that he controls the republican party in this territory and that his appointment was a wise one. As a general principle, however, it has been thoroughly demon- strated that the republican party is, as a principle. opposed to the instruction of delegates to the national convention. Is it was not SO, the nomination of a man for the office of president of the United States by the republican party would be surely a matter of form and there would be no necessity of men at tending national conventions excepting for the purpose of drawing up a nation al platform. The instructing of dele gates from states CT territories going to the national convention carries with it more than the simple instruction as to how to vote for a candidate for the presidency. It means an approval of the administration of public affairs by the republican party and that ths state or territory sending such instruct cd delegation is satisfied with the treat ment it has received at the hands of the party, and in this territory il means an endorsement for all of th' federal appointees which have beeI nominated by the president and tn; different departments of the United States. I do not believe that the re publican party of the territory of Ari Zona does wish to endorse and ap, prove the treatment that we have re ceived at the hands of the republican party in the last four years.
 The two most important blanks 1T that platform. as far as the republican, in this territory are concerned, have no

A NAVY.

On the subject of the navy Mr.
Roosevelt declares that it is neces-
sary for us to keep our navy up to
the most effective standard, and
makes a number Of recommendations.
THE PHILT PPlNES.
The Philippine Islands have been
brought by the fortunes of war under
our control, and we must discharge
our obligations to the inhabitants in
a becoming manner. In concluding
this subject the message says:
Every measure taken concerning the
Islands should be taken primarily with
q view to their advantage. We should
cretainly give them lower tariff rates
on their exports to the United States;
If this is not done it will be a wrong
to extend our shipping laws to them.
I earnestly hope for the immediate en-
actment into law of the legislation
now pending to encourage American
capital to seek investment in the is
lands in railroads, in factories, in plan
tations, and in numbering and mining.

An Innovation Which Does Away With

II is not SO much what you pay for,
o what you pay, but what you get
that needs your attention in the selec-
hon Of q casket, for the genius of the
twentieth century has been just as
busy in the way of funeral furnish
lngs as in other line, until today
the styles Of caskets are quite differ
ent from what they were fifty years
lgo and changing every day.
This is especially true in Metallic
Caskets, the old style heavy cast iron
goods having given away to the more
np-to-date copper Innings which are
Reatly fitted into the best grades Of
vanished or cloth covered work.
One Of the latest designs as recently
brought out by the National Casket
Co., Is what is designated as a Couch
Casket, which has the appearance of a
comfortable couch when open, yet re.
tains all the requisite outlines of the
best styles in regular casket work
when closed.

HAPPY CHILDHOOD.
Right Food Makes Happy Children Be-
cause They Are Healthy.

Sometimes milk does not agree with
children or adults. The same thing IS
true of other articles Of food. What
agrees with one sometimes does not
agree with others.
But food can be so prepared that 1t
will agree with the weakest stomach.
AS an Observation-Disclosures, no matter
how weak the stomach, can eat, relish
and digest a nice hot cup of Postum
coffee with a spoonful or two of Grape
Nuts poured in, and such a combina-
ton contains nourishment to carry one
a number of hours, for almost every
particle Of it will be digested and
taken up by the system and be made
use of.
A lady writes from the land of the
Magnolia and the hooking bird way
down in Alabama and says: II was
led to drink Postum because coffee
gave me soul stomach and made me
nervous. Again Postum was recon-
mended by two well known physicians
for my children, andI feel especially
grateful for the benefit derived.
milk does not agree with either
child, so to the eldest, aged four and
one-half years, 1 give Postum with
plenty of sweet cream. 1t agrees with
her splendidly, regulating her bowels
perfectly, although she is Of a consti-
pated habit.
For the youngest, aged two and one
half years, I use one-half Postum and
one-half skinned milk. I have not
given any medicine since the children
began using Postum, and they enjoy
every drop of it.
"a neighbor of mine is giving Pos
tum to her baby lately weaned, with
splendid results. The little fellow is
thriving famously." Name given by
Postum Co., Battle Greek, Mich.
Postum agrees perfectly with chill
dren and supplies adults with the hot,
lnvigorating beverage in place Of
conee. Literally thousands Of Amer
leans have been helped out Of stop-
ach and diseases BY leaving

The especial advantage of the Couch
Casket is found in it's relief from that
stiffness usually noted in all other
designs, and impressing the minds Of
the friends as well as that of the fam
lily with a feeling of peace and rest
fulness not known before.
If 1t is desired to retain all of the
preservation qualities as found in the
copper Innings, the Couch Casket can
be enclosed in a metal lined outside
box, which will then answer the dou-
BILE purpose Of preserving both the
casket as well as the remains.
All u~ndertakers in the south should
be in a position to furnish these latest
improved goods, as the National Cas-
ket Co.'S. large plant at Nashville,
Tenn, has been especially fitted up
for furnishing them on short notice,
and large sales already proves that
their efforts are being appreciated ~
the best class of people everywhere.
