The Left-Handed Moro.

Chaplain c. G. Bateman in the Journal Of the
Military Service Institution.
To judge Moros by inlexibIe occidental
standards of motives and morals is to lose
at once the key to the situation. The very
structure of their language differentiates
them from ourselves Verbs are in the
passive voice. The man who was slashed
and killed provoked the trouble. The under
dog in the fight Is always the aggressor
The thief Is not blamed for finding
things lying about at loose ends; the man
who lost the property is the real criminal
besides. he is a fool. If he were a sensible
man he would have exercised vigilance
against the approach of the thief Moros
reverse everything. Like all orientals, they
venerate the past and their folklore; myths
and legends abound In tales not unlike
those of the Arabian Nights Entertain
ment.
They turn to the left Of the road extend
the left hand naturally in greeting, and the
scribes write from right to left, turning
the paper sidewise, as any Ieft-handed man
would do. witty officer explained that
the preference for the left was due to the
desire to keep the right hand free in the
event a stranger should need something
done to him. The explanation" may NOT
be far from the truth.

From the Atlantic.
The work OF the woman's club is three
fold-to educate its members mentally and
morally; to create public opinion; to Sc
cure better conditions Of life. It's worth,
personal and social, is in proportion to Its
effectiveness In securing these ends. The
first clubs were study clubs; all clubs are
in some degree study clubs, the culture
idea having been the most tenacious. The
early club, and the parlor club Of today,
would frequently devote q season to the
study of one book, or one author, or some
theory of economics or epoch in history.
Their study may not have been either pro-
found or judiciously chosen, but the woman
herself really believed In 1t, and was being
as studious as she could be easily. -
The club members of long ago did not
bring ponderous dignity with them to their
meetings. They were gay. girlish and 1t
may be frivolous. Their programs and
calendars reveal school girls indifference

Why Popcorn Pops
From the Boston Herald.

why does popcorn popf The Department
Of Agriculture answers the question, which
was propounded to 1t by small boy. Pop
corn pops by reason Of the volatilization OF
the oil contained In the kernel by heat
Field corn does not pop because the outer
portion of the kernel Is more porous, per-
mitting the escape OF the of as 1t Y0la-
tilizes. while in the case Of popcorn great
pressure is developed in the kernel by the
confined oil and the kernel Is suddnely ex-
ploded and turned wrong side out.

Alexander Hamilton.

Today is the one-hundredth anniver- sary of the death of Alexander Ham nton. On the 12th day of July, 1S0i, Hamilton fell before the murderous pistol Of Aaron Burr. In New York aid other places in the east there pro- bably will be ceremonials of some kind to commemorate the occasion.
 Time. as 1t passes, levels into the ob- scurity of fading back ground most of the historic figures of the revolu- ton. but Franklin, Washington. IIamil- ton and Jefferson are still with us, and will not be forgotten. The four men here mentioned laid the foundation of the republic. Contrary to a prevalent belief. however, Hamilton was not a constructive statesman, such as were Jefferson and Franklin. Hamilton was incomparably the most brilliant man of the revolutionary period. His keen intellect and unbounded fertility of ideas gave him a foremost place in discussing the form the new govern ment should take. Indeed, to him more than to anybody else does this country owe the fact that it has con stitutlon. although the constitution it. self is far from being the instrument that Hamilton would have contrived if he could have. had his way. He wrote the first pamphlet showing the neces- sity Of a constitution. He was the energetic advocate of a union of the colonial confederation into a nation ot states. Had it not been for his untir- in energy in advocating the union t is likely there would have been an az gregation of petty and independent governments instead of the United States of today
 But in framing the constitution Hamilton's ideas were frequently over ridden. He argued fiercely for a cen tralized government. He opposed the idea of states rights. He wanted the president and the senate chosen for life. He declared the British govern ment the best on earth. and he urged his fellow delegates to copy 1t. Throughout the debates he was the fault finder, yet he offered no complete

Arizona's Delegates at St. Louis.

Arizona's delegates to the St. Louis convention accomplished nearly as much as could have been achieved by a letter forwarded from the Tucson convention. Bound hand and fcot by instructions for Hearst, the Arizona delegates, hidden away 1n an obscure e corner of the hall had not as much hand in nominating the candidates as did the noisy visitors in the galleries.
 They even failed to Hand" when it came to nominating the candidate for president. They threw the:r votes away on a man named Turner, from Washington or somewhere up that way.
 But a single member of the de,egl- ton managed to get himself mentionld in any way, and that was Tlnnons of Yuma. Timmons did get a line In the plank, he being member of the com mittee on resolutions and sucoe ding in securing the adoption cf paragraph favoring separate statehood for Ari- H-Hd. ALu 1IlIIlOnS was neQIiOne1 ] again in some of the dispatches as hay ing suffered sunstroke. To be sure that was quite a distinction. When a Yuma man can succeed in getting sun struck it deserves mention.
 The delegates, being there under contract for Hearst. not cnly placed Arizona in the ridiculous column, as had been predicted, but apparently they were unable to tell what really was happening The Hon. Carl Hay den, in his communications to the To- cal Hearst organ insisted down to the last moment that Arizona was cutting ice and that Parker might be beaten. It grieves us l. point out that the eg- teemed MT. Hayden appears to know more of farming than he does of the ways of the willy politicians who nom mate candidates for president and ice-president.

PHoENIx. ARIZONA, JULY 12, 1904.
A Happy Ending.

The board of trade is to be congrat- ulated upon it's refusal last night to adopt a resolution denouncing Senator Bard. Had the resolution offered been adopted it would have been tantamount to a declaration that the board is in favor of joint statehood with New Mexico. It is the evidence of B. A. Fowler, former president of the boai d. and of J. F. Wilson, delegate to con- gress from Arizona, that Senator Bard is the only western senator who has worked against the pending joint-s,ate- hood bill, and is the only western sem ator who has repeatedly and vigorously declared his opposition to joining this territcry 10 New Mexico. And th.s evidence cannot be doubted.
 If the resolution had been adop ed. the board to be consistent should a!so have adopted a resolution declaring its approval cf the ioint-state scheme.
 It would have been deplorab,e if the Phoenix board of trade, the most im- portant commercial body in the terri tcrF. had wantonly insulted the chair man of the senate committee cn irrl- Gatiou, the most powerful friend Ari- zona has today in the United States senate.
 Most of all, the board is to be ccn- graduated upon it's refusal to be drag ged into the mire of politics. It is to be hoped that this experience is the first and last that the board will have with political questions.
 It cannot be stated too positively that from the day the board by any sort of official action CT resolution en- ters the arena of politics, the speedy end of the organization will be in sight. and that from the moment that the members of the board permit politics u1 mar its harmonious action the use- fuIness of the institution will be at an end.
 But all's well that ends we'll, and we confidently look for the same hearty cooperation and such brilliant victor- les for the public good in the future as have marked the work cf the board ir the past

Judge Parker,s Running rIate.

Public men of ordinary talents are forgotten so quickly in the United States after they have retired to prl- vate life that there is, no doubt, a chorus of inquiries from all parts of the country for. some information about the democratic candidate for vice pres ident. "Who is Davis?" is the ques- ton heard generally in Arizona and like curiosity and lack of information Is to be expected everywhere except in West Virginia and the city of Wash lngton.
 We take pleasure in supplying such information as we have The full name of the candidate is Henry Gass- away Davis. In his time he has been considerably in the public eye. He is now distinguished for three things: he Is elghty-one years old, he is the fa- ther-in-law of Stephen E. Elkins. one of the republican leaders of the United States senate. and he possesses thirty millions of dollars He was barn at Bal timore on the 18th day of November. 1923. and he has devoted his life to the accumulation of money, incidentally taking sufficient interest in politics to protect his interests" His education was obtained at the country schools, and was limited in quantity. He was left fatherless when very young, and began making his own way in the world at 2 tender age. His first position of responsibility was foreman-or over seer. as it was called in the south-on a plantation. Then he became a brake man on a railroad-one of the first in the country-and thereafter conductor. He evidently liked railroad work, for

system of his own. But such men H. ways serve a highly useful purpose in framing a constitution or an import ant statute. Quick of perception, they are able Instantly to see the defects in a proposition, and their critical advice Is always needed in developing a crude thought into acceptable shape Throughout the constitution bears evidence of Hamiltons critical genius. If he had to see numerous principles adopted contrary to his views, he was able to give many of them a coloring of his own. He and Jefferson found themselves at the opposite poles in the science of government, the one advo- eating strong central government, the other loose union of independant states. Fortunately the constitution as we have 1t is a compromise between the principles of Jefferson and Hamil- ton.
 One Of the greatest of Hamilton's services to the new nation was his elo- quent championship of the constitution before the people after it had been com pleted In convention. Although he feared that 1t was too loosely drawn and that 1t did not reserve sufficient power to the national government, he was its most powerful advocate in the campaign for adoption by the states. It is more than probable that the con stitution would have been rejected ex- cept for his eloquent advocacy and ex- planation of it's provisions.
 Hamilton did more than anybody else to make" Washington. As the private secretary of Washington in the field it was said of him by one historian. "The pen of our army was held by Hamilton. and for dignity of manner, pith of mat ter and elegance of style, General. Washington's letters are unrivaled in military annals"
 What the country owss to Hamilton has been appreciated fully only in later years. With the prophetic gift os genius he foresaw the need of a strong national government, such as has been established by the supreme court and through the expenditure of infinite blood and treasure on the field of bat tie. He was able to lay enough of his handtwork into the foundation of the republic to enable us to build thereon the great government of today.
