The annual commencement exercises
were given Friday June9, 'O5. There were
graduated at that time class of eighteen

have been graduated since the organizd-
ton of the high school $50 boys and 196
girls making total of 3l6.
An attempt this year was made to do some
work in drawing and music. Miss Warren
took charge of the work in singing in her
own room and also in the intermediate and
Grammar rooms onIthe south side. So far
as time permitted, the work so far as at
tempted was quite satisfactory The work
in drawing was not quite SO encouraging.
It is difficult to carry out either of these
lines of work without special teacher, It
seems to me that course of instruction is
not complete if it does not include instruc-
ton in drawing and music. ~
The fact that very large number of the
young boys smoke has hfndered the work
of the school A very large number of the
failures to pass in studies can be traced
directly to this cause. Parents must CO..
operate with the teachers in this matter or
little can be done. Teachers can NOT be ex-
pected to control children while. not lat
school This part the parent must do.

gymnasium under the control of the

training. The boy who works the hardest

TINKER THE TARIFF "UP"

To deDounce President Roosevelt as "a disintegrating force' inside of the republican party" and to commend Speaker Cannon for blocking tariff re- vision. might be consi dered a fair evenings work even for the American protective tariff league, says theWorld. But it did not stop there. What better time could there be for starting cam psign for more import duties and higher ones? Dingleyism is a blessing. Double Dingleyism and the country , will be twice blessed.
 There is no answering that sort of logic. In practice the high protection ists have accepted it as an intallible rule. Some of them. like Garfield, and Allison in his early days, thought that gradual reduction of duties was certain to be made. The trouble has been that the appetite of the protected industries continues to come with eating.
 President Roosevelt is one of those men, as described by the league, "pro, fessing adherence to the cardinal prin. ciples of protection" who want U; 'meddle with our tariff system Both he and the league are devoted tC foreign trade. But even the president, when it comes to desising plans fol expanding our export trade. gets nc further than to suggest the appoint ment of six commercial attaches in foreign countries. Reciprocity has been consigned to the limbo of forgot. ten things in the senate. Its twin brother, tariff revision, may have gone into rapid decline at the White House.
 In the political economy of the Ding leyite it takes only one to make a ] bargain in foreign trade, and that one is protected manufacturer.

The bill introduced into the council by Ruiz, of Apache county, prohibiting any man from holding more than one official position in the territory ofAIi- zons is supposed to be aimed at the ranger force snd prevent a member of the rangers from holding deputy sher- ifs commissions and collecting fees for services rendered for the sheriff office If this is the object of the bill it should be defeated, as often it might serve the purposes of economy and jus tice to have one-of the rangers perform duties as deputy sheriff.

The efforts of the Missouri republi. cans to choose a United States senator have so far failed and there is a faint hope that the session of the legislature may come to an end without anyone being elected, in which case the demo- crats would be easily able to carry the next legislature and re-electCockrell'or another democrat.

THE ARIZONA GovERNoRsHIP

THE ARIZONA GOVERNORSHIP
 One of the most serious objections to the election of B. A. Fowler ss dele gate to congress, outside of purely political considerations, was the fact that he was identified too closely with the special interests of the Salt river valley. Mir. Fowler has been in the employ of the Water Users association of the Salt river valley for several years. This has practically been his only employment during his residence in Arizona. He has been chartered by the land owners of the Salt river valley to exploit their interests in the lobby at Washington. He has made it his chief purpose to divert all the ben efices awarded by the federal govern ment to Arizona for the use and bene. fit. t.enrichment and improvement of the Salt river valley. This does not appeal % the other sections of Arizona.
 This objection to Mir. Fowler as a delegate to congress applies with equal force to him as governor of Ari- zona. There is no prejudice against the Salt river valley, but the people of Arizona residing outside the Salt river valley are not willing that that region should be made the exclusive bene6ci- ary of all governmental favors. MT. Fowler is so committed to the peculiar interests of the Salt river valley and ts land owners that the people of the other sections of the territory would have little reason to expect much favor at his hands.
 Arizona has many and important interests outside the Salt river valley that need governmental support a:d favor. These interests and enterprises would rather that an impartial and open minded person should be governor of Arizona. As the lobbyist of the land owners of the Salt river wiley, Mir. Fowler is not acceptable to the people of Arizona as whole for the governorship. MT. Fowler's special employment has narrowed his vision. and some man broad enough to take in all Arizona with its many and divers interests should be selected by the president to succeedBr in the exec- utive chair at Phoenix. Citizen.
Bisbee daily review., 1905-02-04

Among the visiting statesmen in Tucson this week were President Hunt, of the council, and Hon. Benjamin N. Downs, councilman from Navajo county. Cncerning these gentlemen the Star has the following:
 President Hunt has resided in Globe about fifteen years and is serving as councilman in the legislature for the third time, his first experience being n 1895. MT. Hunt is widely known as democrat and is popular :n the Gils county seat and the county. He has held a responsible place in the Old Dominion Commercial company, rising to become the head of the con- cern. 1t is only year since he became benedict, his wife having resided in the northern part of Ari- zona. Mir. Hunt is opposed to extrav agance, wanted short recess and ex- pressed a decided opinion on these points. Mir. and Mrs. Hunt left for Phoenix last evenirs.
 Benjamin Downs, councilman fro Navajo county, is a comparatively young man, the Son of one of Wins ow's pioneer residents, who is a rail road man. The sou has risen in bis profession to become a conductor. with residence at Winslow. He knew Su- perintendent McGovern when the lat ter WAS trainmaster at Winslow. My. Downs callsd on MT. MoGovern yes terday, only to find that he was absen. on the Los Angeles division. but possi- ply due here Thursday morning from an inspection trip. Mir. Downs and sisters were pleased with their trip tc the industrial school at Benson. He said that the legislature would be asked for liberal appropriation for tIIe fiscal year. The expense for 1904 was $2s,. 900 above the previous estimates. MT. Downs was non-committaI on gam bling, further than to say that the house was favorable to the passage of bill, but he did not know what the council would do. He will return to Phoenix this evening.

Word fiom Washington is to the effect that Col. McClintock is leading in the race for governor, but it is fur

Tn, Western Union telegraph com- pany has stated that it would soon build it's line into Bisbee and Douglas. It has always been wonder that this telegraph company did not come to Bisbes and Douglas long ago. Ger
 tainIy there would be much business at both places for the Western Union.
