PHoENIX, ARIZONA. JAN. 2s, 1so
The Republican Convention.

Some surprise was expressed yester- day at the early date chosen by the executive committee of the republican territorial central committee for the territorial convention to select dele gates to the national republican con- vention. March S, the date fixed upon Is three months in advance of the na- tEonal convention. We suppose that cur democratic friends will be disposed to criticise the action of the committee and they may, perhaps. suggest or hint that something unusual Is to be ac- cornpushed at the early spring conven- ton
 Put we are of tke opinicn that al though it was an unusual thing to call a convention with but five weeks to select delegates, hold caucuses,, primar- ies and county conventions, there was nc hidden motive for this seeming haste.
 The republican party in Arizona has always insisted upon and carried out the, well known principle of fair play and our democratic friends need not be trying to gather any comfort from a seeming hurried call of the territorial convention as the republican party will select six we'll known Arizonians to represent the wishes of the people of the territory.

A GENERAL NAVAL STAFF.

In a pamphlet recently sent out from the navy department are col lected a number of extracts from of-
 icial reports And opinions of naval officers of high rank calling attention again to the subject of a general staff for the navy. Of the advan- ltages which would come from the es- tablishment of such a board of ex- pert advisers, by whatever name it might be called. there can be little difference of opinion among those who have seriously considered the matter. Always in time of war it has been necessary to improve some make shit to take the place of a general staff in order to secure any sort of efficiency in naval operations. Un- fortunately the lessons thus taught have not been taken to heart. and on the return of peace We have fallen back upon the old system, or rather lack of system. which keeps us always in a state of unpreparedness for prompt and vigorous action. In the war department a reform in this re- spect has been instituted and sirni- lar one would undoubtedly be a great benefit to the navy.
 At present the duties of a general staff are partly performed by the bureau of navigation acting in con- junction with the general board and making use of the work of the naval war college and the office of naval intelligence. but a greater concentra- ton of authority is needed if the greatest efficiency possible is to be attained. The distribution of the business of the department among in- dependent bureaus is a cumbersome method, not conducive to harmony. It thus happens that officers whose advice might be of great value to the secretary of the navy are scattered among the bureaus CT the service generally and their advice and the information they possess can reach him only by chance. One of the con- sequences of this is that those with the power to act may be without the needed knowledge and those with the knowledge without the power to act.
 The law requires now that "the business of the department shall be distributed in such manner as the secretary of the navy shall judge to be expedient among the eight bu- reaus." Experience has shown that while efforts have been made to unite the chiefs of bureaus into a sort of advisory board in an emergency. each of them by the sudden increase in the business of his own particular office has had little time to spare for other duties, however important they might be. Admiral Luce in an article on naval administration published in the Proceedings of the United States Naval Institute last December mentions that "on the breaking out of the war with Spain three whole days passed with

Those Who FIeht the uuard.

An effort Is being made to call the attention of that powerful and grow ing body, the National Association of Manufacturers, to the desrability of united action to make apparent to employers who assume an attitude of antagonism toward the national euard their exceeding stupidity in this par ticular.
 It seems impossible that any business man whose commercial success argues or so past the end of his own nose can be so blind to his own interests as de- liberately to do everything in his power to weaken the force on which he must ultimately rely to protect his property from the riotious mobs whose disorders have come to be common featukes of American life. Yet hosts of American business men, probably a great major ity of them, are guilty of this very stupidity. They discourage the young men in their employ from joining the guard, growl when they take time from their work for their soldering nonsense,'' dock their pay when their military duty calls them away crrm the office for any length of time, and otherwise show themselves thick-head- ed individuals and bad citizens The big corporations, more apt to need militay protection than individual em- plOyers and never backward n de .. manding it on the slightest occasion, are conspicuous sinners in this re- spect. Many of them frankly exclude suardsmen from their employ. It is impossible to guess by what process of reasoning they reach the conclusion that other peoples employees ought 10 take time to protect their property when they refuse to allow their own employees to take time to protect other peoples property. But. with the aid of blind selfishness, hey manage to do it. somehow.

A NEW BUST OF WASHINGTON

A bust of George Washington soon to adorn the senate chamber in Wash ington will recall the early friendship of France with the young republic and the memory of famous sculptor long since dead. In 1926, France gave to the United States such bust done by David d'Angers. Later it was joined by bust of Lafayette by the same artist, which he sent as a personal gift to the president. When the aDitol building was burned in 1851, both mar bles were destroyed.
 A year ago, the Comte de Rocham- beau, the Marquis de Lafayette, and the Comte de Grasse joined in under taking to replace the lost bust of Washington. They did net expect to duplicate it. and were greatly pleased to learn that an exact copy could be obtained. NJ. Henry Jouin, secretary of the Ecole des Beaux Arts, was aware that David had sent to the town whose name he had assumed to distinguish him from his illustrious master, David the painter the models from which all of his great works had been ex- ecuted.
 In the collection at fingers was found the plaster cast made for the original clay bust that had portrayed the features of Washington. From this case David had carved the mar hle.
 A bronze bust has been made from this model. and has been sent to Washington. General Horace Porter. ambassador in Paris, has informed the gentlemen interested that the United States would willingly accept and treasure so graceful and appropriate a gift. He was enthusiastic over the artistic worth of the bust.-Collier's Wcekl.'.

once assured Henry Norman that the czar's forces must win in fight with England because British life was more valuable than Russian: the czar's er1- pire could lose 100000 peasants and never know it. But it is just this lack of value of the individual that cdnsti- tutes Russia's great weakness. A mod ern nation is not made powerful by the worthlessness of its citizens. It is possible that within few years Russia will be so engrossed with it's domestic affairs that its expansion policy will have to be neglected. Besides, the Russian, when one is acquainted with nlm, isn't such a bad fellow. There seems to be no especial occasion, for the present at least. to worry lest the Slav shall attempt to overwhelm the Anglo -SaXon.-Kansas City Star.

A most distressing accident. in which little boy was injured. day before yesterday and horribly maimed. if no; fatally hurt, calls attention again to a most dangerous practice. It has been followed so long by the boys of this city that only strangers seem to realize the extreme danger of it. We are speaking of the use of the middle of a street as a play ground. The practice is dangerous on any street but it ls particularly dangerous on those thoroughfares traversed by swiftly moving street cars. Several serious and at least two fatal accidents have occurred in Phoenix as results of this practice. The children are not to blame especially children of so tender age as the little boy who was hurt on Wednesday, They cannot realize the peril to which they arc exposed. They know that there is death in the wheels of the cars but they do not take into account that they will forget about the danger. They should be taught by parents and police and by all older persons that the street from curbstone to curbstone. except at the crossings is perilous place.

TAMMANY TICKETLESS;

New York City Men Complain That

There is a great outcry among the
Tammany delegates over the refusal of

the Parker managers from New York to
Charles +. Murphy to have the tickets to
which they are entitled. A demand to-
day was made upon Mr.. Hill for the tick
cts. but they were refused on various
pretexts. The Tammany men say that
they cannot get the tickets because the
Parkers managers are afraid the Tam
many braves will start a demonstration
on the floor of the convention in favor of
Mayor Mcclellan. which may upset their
plans and throw the convention into con-
fusion.
This would indicate that David Il. Hill

AMERICAN RESTAURANT AT
JERUSALEM TO BE REBUILT.
Early Morning Fire at the Fair
Causes Loss of 100000. Partly
Insured-Many Escape Injury.

The heavy downpour OF Monday after
noon proved the salvation of the walled
city of Jerusalem at the Worlds Fair yes
terday. Firemen and others at the Expo
sition who saw the flames mounting high
from the burning restaurant within the
city early yesterday morning and watched
the flames threatening the adjoining walls
say that only the water-soaked condition
OF the staff and woodwork prevented an
other destruction of Jerusalem.
The American restaurant will be rebuilt
tusted. according to the statement of w.
d. Miles, manager of the Jerusalem EN-
hibit Company. The restaurant was de-
stroyed. Manager Miles says, and the loss
is between $4,000 and $1,000 with $4,000
insurance.

The fire. it was stated yesterday. prob
ably originated from crossed electric
wires. The building was in flames before
the fire was discovered and the narrow
streets and lanes OF the walled city made
1t difficult for the firemen to get lines of
hose to the blaze. This was responsible
for the headWay the fire gained.
