Progress at the We'll.

During the past two weeks, un- der the direction of J. J. Gilson, the work of drifting on the vein. from which the we'll receives it's flow, has been in progress. Super visor Martin took the matter before the board and secured from the county a donation of $250 to fur ther operat tions, for which the NEWS on behalf of our citizens extends thanks.

This will give sufficient funds to carry the work on for another month. The volume of water has been steadily increasing since the work began. Yesterday the NEWS scribe went down the we'll and spent half an hour watching the work, in company with MT. Gilson. Henry Hill and Bert Ragan are working in the drift, which had then been run in seventeen feet from the shaft. Two fair-sized streams are coming in the face of the drift, which have every indica- tion of shortly uniting. The theory is that they are simply seepages from a main stream which is at no great distance and will be encoun- tered ere long.

Another Ball Game Tomorrow.

As the Williams team contains a number of players who will shortly leave for college, the Flagstaff team extended an invitation to the locals to come down there and play to- morrow. Later word was received that the Flagstaff grounds were too wet and that it would be impossi- ble to play on them, but Flagstaff offered to come here and play again. Now, this will no doubt be the last game that will be pulled off here this season, so that every body should turn out and help the locals win, as we did last Sunday. That game was a splendid exhibi- tion. Come out and see Williams new find, Rafferty, the third base man. He don't miss any chances. The game tomorrow will be for blood, and both teams will do their best. so it is bound to be close and interesting. Come out.
 While it is almost absolutely certain that Flagstaff will be here tomorrow, should they not be able to come the Railroad team will play the Juniors, so that there will be game anyway.

The remarks being made about the

John Morley.

In some observations delivered in Chi
cago Tuesday night, John Morley, who at
this writing is guest of the President
said: ~.
II have watched the progress OF the
United States with interest and awe The
prophecy that you are to be the greatest
power on earth is coming true. With your
resources, energy and strength there is not
power in Europe that doesn't covet your
friendship and good feeling. Your policy
should be to keep your powder dry and
your diplomats active"
This we may be sure, is not the conven-
tional civllity of visitor pleased with his
host and his greeting. Mr.. Morley speaks
to greater purpose than that. An English
statesman of the first rank, writer of
brilliant gifts, student of history in all of
its governmental bearings, he has more
than paying compliments in view in pass
ing upon progress in the world. He is no
stranger in America, and has always been
our friend. Everything therefore counsels
that we appreciate his most cordial APP
praisement of us, and deeply consider the
advice he offers
Keep your powder dry and your diplo-
mats active" In other words. be prepared
for war, but show desire for peace. We
should not only keep our powder dry, but
the pouch full Powder may be necessary;
and at any such time we should not lack
for 1t either in quality or quantity. This
was Washington's view. and it loses moth
ing of value by being repeated to us at the
end of hundred years by one of the most
eminent men of the nation from which
under Washington's leadership we sepa-
rated to set up in business for ourselves
Our diplomats are active and will remain
so. 1t Is fortunate for u.s. too, and maybe
for the rest of the world, that they never
stood higher or exercised more influence
at their posts, than at present. At their
head stands as accomplished and successful
man as ever administered the affairs of
the State Department. Mr.. Hays achieve
ments are writ large on the history of the
times, and the country is to enjoy four
years more of his valuable services. What
ever diplomacy, wen directed. can do for
us 1t Is reasonably certain will be done. and

The result of the Congress elections calls
for word of sincere praise for Mr.. Cannon
His services on the stump were properly
devoted 10 the House contest, and his
itinerary was far-reaching and eXacting.
But he went the pace like a two-year-old,
and was everywhere enthusiastically receiv
ed. His speeches, it is conceded, were
among the most apt and effective of the
campaign. In addition, he contributed to
his party's cause q capital record In office.
He nils his place with fairness, he dis
patches business, he is highly esteemed on
both sides of the chamber, and ranks with
the best Speakers of any day. He will have
a larger team to handle in the next House,
but there need be and will be no fear in
any quarter as 10 his ability to keep it in

The Result in Missouri.

Missouri! has voted this year in a re-
markahle manner, with some highly graft
flying and some disappointing results, when
regarded from a combined national and
local point of view. The casting of the
electoral vote of the state for. Mr.. Roose-
welt is reassuring sign OF breaking OF
that southern solidity which is a potent
force in the retarding of those states, po-
litically and industrially. 1t is a warning
signal to the democracy to- cut loose from
the policies that tend to segregate a por-
ton OF the people and to crush out the
growth of a wholesome individualism OF
political activity. Indeed. the Missouri
vote is a direct rebuke to the partisan
bosses who would have the people vote in
masses at their dictauon for the men they
name.
The triumph of Mr. Folk In his election
as governor in the face of a surprising re-
publican majority for Roosevelt is a tri-
umph for honest government in the state,
and indicates the determination OF the peo-
pie TO proceed vigorously against the graft
ers who have made the name of Missouri
mtlodorous throughout the nation. Mr..
Folk will have a difficult task. Arrayed
against him will be a compact body of fear
stricken corruptionists and their friends.

Secretary Taft's Trip.

Secretary Taft will start in a few
days for Panama, and upon his arrival will
discuss with the government there the is
sues that have arisen out of our initiatory
proceedings in the matter of the control
of the canal zone. A committee has been
appointed to receive him, and there ap-
pears no reason why the business should
not be promptly and satisfactorily dis
posed of. The result of the elections
should play part, as the Panamans may
see that they are dealing with an admins
tration now assured of new lease of life
covering four years. In that time the
work of digging the canal should be well
advanced, and the prediction made fairly
safe fixing the day of completion and open
ing. The President has his ,ountrymen
with him in this as in other affairs, and
the Panamans, being advised Of the fact,
should meet his advances, as probably they
will, In an accommodating spirit.
One of the very best features Of Tues
days triumph has bearing upon the canal
question. With respect to the finances,
the tariff, capital and labor and what not,
important as those questions are, they are
in a sense local. Our wranglings are our
own. The world takes heed, because all
the policies of so great nation are inter-
esting. The Philippine question went be-
yond these in the campaign in the appeal
to outsiders; but our wisdom in taking
over the archipelago was principally the
point of that challenge.
But as regards Panama the enemies Of
the administration took the ground, and
announced to the world, that crime had
been committed; that the United States
stood discredted as the result of the Presi-
dents action; that Mr.. Roosevelt and his
Secretary of State had been parties to a
conspiracy for despoiling a friendly power
of territory and that the fruits of it were
the republic of Panama and the treaty with
the new government for the construction of
the canal. 1t was a severe arraignment,
and calculated If Endorsed at the polls to
bring about serious complications over the
most important enterprise of this era.
The American people have passed upon
the arraignment, and have repudiated 1t by
an unprecedented majority. Mr.. Roosevelt
and Mr.. Hay are sustained at every point
by public sentiment regularly ascertained.
Our presence on the isthmus Is approved.
The canal treaty is again ratified. The
canal is to go forward as rapidly as pos
sible, and Secretary Taft will make all this
quite plain to the Panamans when he meets
them.
