CEMENT FOR SALT RIVER DAM.
A San frsncisco Company Submits eId
 of $A.0O Per Barrel.

A Washington dispatch says: For cement tor the Salt River dam, a bid for the first 1000 barrels "or more" was received from a cement company in San Francisco, which offers to de- liver the cement at Globe for 4.SO a barrel.
 Two hundred thousand barrels of cement will be used in the construction of the dam, and in estimating the cost the government engineers learned that cement was costing a mining company in Globe s5.sO barrel, and adding the haul of forty miles over the mountain road to the dam, they estimated the cement would cost s9 a barrel at the site of the dam, or a to- tai of sl,SO0,OOO. Believing it could be manufactured there much cheaper, a cement mill was purchased and is to be installed.
 The cement manufacturers made a protest against the government enter ing into the manufacture of cement and stated they believed concessions could be secured from the railroads which would bring the price down to 8. 45 a barrel, delivered at Globe. To test this proposition the department ad- vertised for bids for 1000 barrels, or more.-Globe Belt.

He has during his in- cumbency conducted the affairs of the office, in the main, satisfactorily to people of the town and members of the town council. As collector of taxes he has made an excellent record, collecting all taxes promptly and what is just as essential, turned every cent collected over to the treasurer, and has conducted the affairs of the office at minimum of expense to the taxpayers. He is an old citizen of the town and is taxpayer and prop erty owner and as a candidate he merits the consideration of the voters of Flagstaff.

Its manifold uses, its great simplicity, its economical maintenance and its uniform durability and reliability under all conditions demand for it the first place among the engines of the day.

CANNON AND ROOSEVELT AND SCANDAL.
Republican sincerity isn't hard to get at BY
throttling the real investigation of postal affairs and
relegating the subject to speakers committee of
seven members the Republican Representatives last
week demonstrated their full sympathy with the
Payne-Roosevelt method of smothering and buryng
national scandals. '---
The minority demanded a sweeping investigation
of Federal frauds-the very thing which the Repub-
lcan party has repeatedly and boastfully promised
in the event that the nation should find itself dis
satisfied with special nvestigations-and the major
ity raised bedlam. ..-.....
Weighed in the light Of his party's action, of
what account is the Doodle postscript of Mr. Roose
welt appended his late Presidential message? The
Republican side of Congress appears to view with
liking the Roosevelt letter congratulating Mr..
Payne upon the accomplishment of reform. Indeed,
it is very much more comfortable to view the scan
dal business as closed incident and regard the
congratulation as final and conclusive.
What a committee of seven appointed by Speaker
Cannon viii do is easily foreseen-unless Speaker Car
non should see in the situation Presidential
opportunity for himself. The country would hail
this glorious development Politics. and politics
alone get to the bottom of the Federal scandals
Let strong opposition to Roosevelt get under way,
headed by Cannon and make party issue of cor
ruption, and the country may of what stuff the
machine and its swindng system are made.
Friday the floor of the House, when William
Alden Smith of Michigan condemned the administra-
ton for its arrogant treatment Of the only department
Of government which comes IN direct touch with
the people, and shouted the name Of Speaker Can
non for President the House thundered its acqui-
escence, members rose and shrieked till they were
hoarse, Democrats Joined Republicans in crashing
appause-but party struggle developed that the
Republicans were shouting for Cannon investiga-
ton rather than Mr.. Smiths denuncation of the ad-
ministration. One sort Of a Cannon investigation
would accord very well with the PayneRoosevelt
policy 1t would suppress the truth and further the
administrations attempt to fool the American public.
And probably that is the sort shall witness But
the other sort in which lies Cannons political oppor
tunity, would throw bomb into party calculations
and set the Republican voters camoring for his
nation
Fearlessness and vgor pitted against the oppor-
tunism and milk-and-water reform Of Mr.. Roose
velt would by all the probabilities, achieve tre-
mendous popular victory. But whether it should or
should not result in political benefits to Cannon
certainly would rip open the great scandal situation
for the people and put end to the stigma which
has so long rested upon the nation.
1t will be interesting to watch Mr.. Cannon's ap-
pointments.

PROTECTION FOR CHARITY.

Organized charity is .vehemently denounced by
persons of morbid sendmentaty, but it is the only
method by which assistance may be given to worthy
applicants and yet by which the supporters Of var
Gus charities may be protected The abuse OF char
y is professional pursuit in the large cities. ard
organized charity" is necessity in the interest of
all who deserve attention
In the name of charity much is done that is not
charity. Men and women of means are appealed to
frequently for donations to associations of which
nothing is known. individuals apply for help and
tell remarkable stories Of misfortune. A few of
these solicitors especially who make the rounds
periodicalyn behalf of unknown institutions, carry
ION their petition business commission basis.
Many individuals who ask succor are dssemblers
who would rather beg than work.
Almost every necessary division of charity is
properly organized in St Louis and the branches are
conducted on liberal policies. No one who is de-
serving need look in vain for help. An applicant
may have to endure inconveniences, owing to in
vestigations for verifying his statements but that
is necessitated by conditions. Deserving persons
would not get relief if the charity organizations tol
Grated abuses
The, ST. Louis Prcvident Association has taken a
wise course in establishing an investigation bureau
The St. Louis Republic., 1904-03-17

for the protection of those who give to charity This
bureau is at the service of any citizen or organza-
ton that may require its assistance. The object of
the bureau is to prevent impostOns upon wellmean-
ing generous citizens and to defend the deserving
class and the existing charity and religious associa
tiOns against unreliable projects and unscrupulous
petitioners
If citizen association is importuned for dona-
tions help, information as to the wOrthness Of
the application may be obtained through the Provi-
dent Associations Investigation Bureau. The bu-
will investigate and state whether it is wise to
give assistance. 1t is easy to perceive that this plan
is safeguard that should be generally used As

IRELAND,s NEW LOT.

IRELAND'S NEW LOT.
i The twevemonth since last st. Patrck's Day
has produced but little actual improvement of pre-
vaing conditions in Ireland. Bright hope of i'm
mediate relief was infused by the land loan bill
which Chief Secretary Wyndham bravely cham
pioning, and there was feeling of confidence that
the British Governmentswould quickly TO effect
beneficial changes.
For the time being the stricken country is again
compelled to meet degree of disappointment. But
the disappointment is not of that nature which char
acterized the reverses of the past. Mr.. Wyndham
has failed of expectations, and this week. the eve
of another St Patricks Day. has incensed the Irish
representation in the House of Commons and there
by has imperled the standing of the Government.
But the nonfulhllment of assurances previously
given is not in any significant of defeat for
the Irish cause.
Affairs in ireland seem to denote state Of re-
formative action which presages important changes.
There are evidences Of progressive developments.
The country is exhibiting its and asserting
all of its energy, meanwhile augmenting it's potency
in Parliament and appealing to popular sentiment
throughout England. The power Of ireland and its
capacity to create advancement are thus made
stronger to-day than they probably have been.
While, therefore. temporary disappointments
must be endured, the people Of ireland and their
relatives In the United States and other parts OF the
world have reason to be hopeful and active for the
success Of their cause. The disappointments and
delays not signs of weakness, but, on
the contrary, Indicative of increasing force in
Ireland the acquisition of larger and more sincere
sympathy, the progress Of the country more thor
ough understanding among parties and greater abl-
fly assume the initiative in effectng reconsruc
tion that already impends.
new and better lot is in store for Ireland. Mo-
mentous circumstances assisting struggle that
has been waged for centuries for the betterment of
a. suffering and moral people. The nations repre-
sentatives have made steady gains from year to
year, and they are firmly established for achieving
further victories.
The "Irish question" viii be everlasting ques-
tion unless it is rightly settled and it will not be
everlasting, because it win be settled to the satsfac
ton of Ireland. History records eccentric ronies.
The irony Of Irelands redemption will be the reali-
zaton of rights by the PROSTATE country through the
development of resources to which development is
prohibited. Irishmen may nurture their long-cher-
ished hopes with greater ardor for the fulfllment
Is at hand.
