jured the boy in the preceding decade of his life
 These interpretations mean that l would not educate the boy under a private totar. I would educate my boy with boys. although not entirely by boys. Boys do. however educate boys; but a boy who is trained alone is liable to fail in adjust ing himself to membership in hu- manity. He is to become a brother of the common lot He therefore should learn early how to adjust himself to his fellows. Furthermore. he will lose a great deal of fun not being with the boys. It is. furthermore. difficult. practically impossible. for me and for most people to employ private tutor. When associate myself with score of other people in a private school we can afford to get men and women as tutors; but alone it is impossible.

There is a very pronounced senti-
ment in this county in favor of the
nomination of f. E. Morrison for
delegate to congress and great pres
sure will be brought to bear to in
duce bin to make the race. MIR.
Morrison has a very extensive
practice in his profession, practice
which is productive of a greater income
than the salary paid a congressman
and to accept the nomination, and in
case of his election, he would be re-
quired to make a sacrifice financially,
but as a true party man, if nominated
he would no doubt consent to make
the race. Two years ago be made a
clean, honorable. campaign, and made
friends all over territory and is today
stronger with the people generally
than ever before and without doubt is
the strongest candidate the repub-
licaDs can nominate.

ARIZONA AND SENATOR BARD.

The Phoenix Republican recently
contained very able article discuss
ing the senseless agitation being
worked up in Tucson against Senator
Bard, of California, from which the
following is quoted:
at occurs to the Republican that
the efforts of some Arizonans to butt
into the senatorial game in California
is in rather bad taste. Primarily it
is not Arizona's funeral. Our advice
or help has not been asked. Cali
fornia is supposed to know how to at
tend to Der own affairs; if she does
not, it is no function of ours to take
her in hand. Should the day ever
come for us to elect United States
senators from the state of Arizona We
would resent with much heat and
noise any interference from California
or elsewhere.
$50 much for the eth les of the sit
uation.
"And from the standpoint of practi-
cal politics Arizonians will do we'll to
keep their hands off The leading
candidate is Senator Bard. Next in
the race is Mr.. Henry Oxnard, a gen.
tleman who has achieved money and
reputation in the sugar business and
now thinks his proper sphere Is the
senate of the UUited States. The
other candidates are nowhere, as yet.
As matters stand, to defeat Senator
Bard means to elect Mr.. Oxnard in
his place, What would Arizona gain
by the change can anybody tellY
The refusal of Senator Bard to ad-
vocate statehood for Arizona when the
omnibus bill vas before congress was
not gratifying to our people, certain
ly. And some of the passages in his
speech against the measure we're posi-
lively offensive. The Republican
paid its respects to him at the time,
and justly found fault with him for
bis failure to inform himself better.
But since then Senator Bard has
gone tar to make amends for his in
ability to support the omnibus bill.
As chairman of the committee on ir-
rigation he has become one of the
territory's most powerful friends in
the senate. He has already rendered
substantial service in aid of the gov
ernment's Yuma project. If legisla-
ton be needed before storage works
can be constructed on the ella, the
Verde, the San Pedro or the Santa
Cruz rivers, Senator Bard can be de-
pended upon to push such legislation
vigorously.
Practically, what Senator Bard
has done or failed to do is of little
mement compared with what be can
and will do. That he was conscien-
tiously opposed to the omnibus bill
was never questioned, and that he is
conscientiously with the people of
Arizona on all the questions which
now closely touch their interests is a
fact of present Importance. ="

EXPEDITION TO TIBURON.
Thomas F. GrindelI and Four Com
panions Will Be the Explorers.

Thomas L. Grindell and four COM
panions left Bisbee some time since
bound for Tiburon island with the
intention of locating a gold mine
which is believed to exist there. In
speaking of the trip to Bisbee Re
view reporter Grindell said:
81 was on Tiburon island eleven
years ago. At that time | bought
about 81, worth of gold from the
natives for much less than it was
worth anywhere else. 1t is true that
the natives are dangerous, but we
will 60 heeled for them. The five of
us together will be able to withstand
any attackssthat may be made.
The island is unusually rich in
minerals, though statements have been
made to the contrary. There is some
where on the island a rich gold ledge
that will make the finder several times
a millionaire. l intend to find it. ="
r. E. I. Robinson, a newspaper
man of Phoenix, was killed there sew
eral years ago, while exploring the
island. A couple of years ago Charley
Meadows announced his intention,
with a great expenditure of hot air, of
subduing the island or of dying in the
attempt. He made great bluff
about going there but it is not be-
lieved he ever got within arrow range
of the islands.
Both of the above made sensational
announcements of their intentions
without having any real intentions of
carrying out their adventurous plans.
Robinson made the mistake of going
further than he really intended to
and paid the penalty with his life.
Grindell and his companions seem
to mean business and intend going
prepared for business.
