remarkable report on the urgent ne

says. has only two enemies to fear

 Crime is prevalent in all the big cities in the east and stranger in any one of them is in greater danger than he would be anywhere in this territory.
 New York City is notorious for daring holdups and burglaries and mysterious murders. Governor Folk of Missouri, has vigorously acclaimed against the gun toter and now District Attorney Jerome of New York, who closed the gambling houses in that city, has turned his attention to the vicious habit of carrying concealed weapons. He has drafted an act imposing dis. oouragingly heavy penalty on men who have ambitions toward making walking arsenals of themselves, and he hopes to carry the bill through the legislature.

SOME ROCKEFELLER SOUP

In hls own way we presume John D. Rockefeller has been about as much q public benefactor as men with colossal fortunes generally are. Certainly he has done as much good as Russell Sage, the Vanderbilts or the Goulds. He Is not in the running with Carnegie, be. cause the ironmaster Is making 6 life work of bestowing largess on impover. ished towns. But Rockefeller has man. aged his oil monopoly with a certain amount of forbearance--h has fixed prices at just about the figure that he thought the public pocketbook would stand, aud uo higher. That, in itself, shows kind heart.
 But now, if certain New York newspaper is to be trusted, the oil DO tentste is planning still greater boon for the people. He is gong to feed as we'll as light them. It is written that :
 ''His chemists have shown great in- genuity in utilizing the by-produets of petroleum. and they are now said to be bending their energies to the discovery of a way for converting gasoline into rich soup AS palatable substitute for the ordinary breakfast foods.
 Is this A joke ? Is it a sly. sarcastic attack on those very excellent products, the breakfast foods ? We confess our inability to fathom it. Of course, the wonders of chemistry are great, aud We already have drugs, dyes. perfumes and hundred other things from the oil of the earth. But soup There the imagination stands aghast. If it must come, We trust that it's name will conceal it's identity aud that thor ough process of deodorization will have taken place. Otherwise we shall be compelled to stick to the breakfast foods

The Phoenix Enterprise says that while praise has been accorded Dele. gate Wilson, Mark Smith, Governor Brodie and others for their efforts to block jointstatehood. the fact has not been made generally kno wn that it was through the influence of Judge w.

THE "MININd EXPERT"

The meaningless and self-glor'fying term "mining expert has been so much abused that it has pretty gener- ally disappeared from the columns of the :technical press, but inasmuch as it still has some popular acceptation, we feel justified in using it to point the moral of the following incident: A certain man who was known to have made considerable sum of money on a mining deal was talking rather know ingly of western proposition, which party of men were considering. On his retirement from the discussion one of the men asked: "Is J. real expert or does he claim to be one simply be- cause he once made money on min ing speculation?" And there Is the point. A man who has made killing in mining often is foolish enough to think that he k .ows all about mining and some of the public are more fool ish in considering him an expert whose dictum on any mining matter Is better than the advice of the trained or ex. perienc ed man who has not been for tunate enough to have made fortune from the business or who has not had the opportunity. The folly of this Is evident to men who are actively in the mining business, either as operators or as investors, but the great uninformed public needs to be cautioned to dis criminate between the mau who really has expert knowledge and the man who is an expert only because of his luck in mining investment. - Mining World

Editor Weediu of the Florence Blade strongly contends against the proposed dismemberment of Pinal county and his argument is both reasonable and sound. The decline of Pinal county has not been due to lack of resources but to artificial causes. As MT. Weedin truly says, "No county in Arizona Is richer in undeveloped resources than is Pinal, and we believe, too, that the next few years will witness substan. tial improvement of conditions in that county. The development of the min ing industry there will bring in new capital and increase the taxable wealth and population of the county. The improvement of the rich agricultural lands of the Casa Graude valley will follow in time and Pinal will then be- come one of the most favored counties of Arizona.

The Mining World says that the western mining states are generally awakened to the demand for lepisla tion to protect the investor in inning stocks and in several of them measures have been introduced in the respective legislatures to enact laws to that effect. California, Colorado, Utah, Wyoming and Oregon are named in the list of western states that have these bills for Investment safeguards under con. sideratlon. and several other states al. ready have special legislation on this subject. This movement in the states Tn which mining is the important io- dustry IS significant of the desire of the legitimate mining interests to keen the fakir and swindler out of the busi- ness. It is subject which should re. ceive the serious consideration of3 the Ar'zona legislature. The mining in. dustry Tn this territory was never in so sound and promising condition as it js at the present time, and it should be kept so by every safeguard that it is possible to throw around it,

HEALTH AND MARRIAGE,

The Rev. pr. Watson, the Eugllsh clergyman who is we'll known to and much liked by the reading public in this country as "Isu Maclaren. author of "Beside the Bonnie Brier Bush. {" recently preached sermon in Liver pool in which he declared that mo young man was justified iu marrying who could not obtain a first class life certificate from a really good insurance company. Dr. DJbbs, editor of Vectis, "sees" Dr. Watson and '.raises him" by contributing to the Morning Leader of Liverpool communication saying that, as a medical man, he "is heart and soul with Dr. Watson as to the intent of his teaching" but thiuks that life insurance company's certifi- cate Is not enough, aud that an inde. pendent physician of high standing should also be consulted, to whom n life history of the families of both parties to the contemplated marriage should be given." All this suggests to the Boston Herald "a variation of the old saying, A sound mind in sound body. This rule would be bar to many marriages, but it does not follow that it would promote race suicide any faster than the marriage of persons with diseased bodies, likely to produce race of weddings"

The Mesa Free Press is greatly con- cerned lest the supply of fuel oil to be used during the construction of the Salt river dam shall be shipped by rail to Globe and from here piped to Roose- welt. It IS a proposition that we had not heard of and we doubt if it IS really being seriously considered However it is amusing to read the vail of the Free Press, as follows: "It is to be hoped this is not true. The Tonto road was built with the understanding that all freight, including oil should go via Mesa. 1t would be bad faith with the people who voted the bonds to raise money to build the road should the oil be sent around the long route. The difference in cost would be very little, and We believe arrangements will yet be made to send it via Mesa.
