SUNDAY SCHOOL WORK

There never was so aggressive a
campaign in Sunday school work as
how. All the churches are taking
part in it and are seeking to reap
the benefits. In the forefront of this
great movement, side by side with
the other churches. is the SUNDAY
School Department of the Methodist
Episcopal Church. 1t is called the
Sunday School Union, having been
so christened as long ago as 1927.
Strong men have been at its head
since it's organization in 1910. Promi-
nent among these was that matches
worker for young people, Bishop John
H. Vincent. 1t was during his time
that he instituted the Berean System
of lessons, which later developed into
| the international System, that is now
used every Sunday by more than 49,.
100000 of Sunday school people.
The head of the Sunday School
Union today is Rev. John T. McFar-
land, d. D., who came to his present
Office from Topeka, Kansas-a man
well fitted by scholarship and expert
ence for his position. While having
been in Office scarcely six months, his
work is being felt, and it is Scripture
that says, by their works We shall
know them The Sunday School
Journal, edited by him, is a maya
zine well suited for the family as well
as the Bible student. 1t has circu.
lation of 1926, 900 and ought to double
it at once.
All modern methods of teaching and
work are being considered today by
this organization, and it proposes tc
meet the needs of it's constituency. II
organizes new Sunday schools and
helps the needy ones, and this work
it does constantly. 1t is supported
by the contributions of the churches
of the denomination. 1t gave aid tc
about fourteen hundred last year
and will probably do more in the veal
| TO come.
When we consider that the Sunday
school is not only an educator in gooC
things, but is training the future cit
izenship of our land in all things per
tanning to morals and godliness, il
should have both the moral anC
financial support of the church ant
all rightminded people.

TALKING ABOUT 1908.

The Washington gossips are doing a
good deal of talking about the posi-
bic Republican nomination for 1908.
With Roosevelt out of the reckoning,
through his own withdrawal, the race
seems to be anybody's. One of the
sooth sayers at the national capital
says it is" Fairbanks against the field"
Others mention Taft, Root and Hay
as being favorites. We will hear
much of this sort of talk for the next
three and half years.
Guesses, however, made at this time
regarding the nomination for 1880
are particularly liable to be astray.
Many things can take place between
now and the meeting of the national
convention which may alter the sit
uation radically. Nobody can tell
what will be the issues three and a
half years hence. The Congress re-
Gently chosen may, in its two years OF
work, bring new questions and new
men to the front. Nothing is fixed
in American politics three or foul
years in advance. Shortly after
Grants election in 1868 it was noticed
that a movement was started for his
denomination in 1872. Grants case
however, was exceptional. He receiv.
ed unanimous nomination in each
year.
At this moment, however, the out
look for the candidacy in 1908, with
Roosevelt out of the contest, is as un,
certain as that of 1888 was after
Blaine, a few months before the con-
vention, declined to allow his name
to be considered in connection with
the nomination. The convention OF
1888 was long and exciting. 1t had al

fifth on the roll on the early divisions
in the convention. The chances for
several days seemed TO favor some OF
the other aspirants. 1t will be well
for the prophets to go slow in their
forecasts for the next canvass. Let us

A LONG WAIT FOR DEMOCRATS.

Chairman Taggart makes it very
clear that the nation is dissatisfied
with the Democratic party and its
policies, and that the tremendous de-
feat of last November was the DELHI
crate voice of the people. While that
is nothing new, it is of some interest
when coming from Mr.. Taggart.
In his recent speech at Lafayette,
Ind, Mr.. Taggart said that he was
the real chairman of the National
Committee; that the Executive Com
mittee was created with his full ap-
prevail, and that he was Loyalty sup
ported by Sheehan, Nicoll, Belmont
and all others in the committee, and
that everything possible was done
with the ample means at the dis
posal of the committee to win success.
Yet with an "irreproachable" candi-
date, the party encountered re-
verse almost unparalleled
Mr.. Taggart added that he did not
believe ANY other candidate on any
platform could have been elected"
He was right in that conclusion.
Ex-Judge Parker would have been a
little stronger if he had said less. The
more he talked the more harm he did
for himself. But no man the party
could have named for President
would have been elected ~
A party that ayowed itself in oppo
sition to protection and lin favor o
scuttling from the Philippines and
for other such unpatriotic policies
could not appeal successful TO the
American people, to say nothing of
the record the Democrats have made.
But W hat of the future? Neither Bry-
an nor Taggart could hold out any
hope, excepting from the Micawber-
like policy of waiting for something
to turn up"

The Simple Life

President Roosevelt Says to the Author of it
Il AM PREACHING YOUR BOOK
TO MY COUNTRYMEN." :: :: ::
President Roosevelt Says to the Author of it !:

ITO aspire to the simple life is to rightly as
pire to the fulflment of the highest human
destiny. All the movements of humanity
toward more justice and more light have been
at the same time movements toward more
simple life. And the antique simplicity in arts,
manners and ideas hold for us their incompara-
bic value only because it has been able to give
powerful relief to some essential sentiments,
to some fixed truths. We must love that sim
plcity and guard it piously. But he will have
gone but the hundredth part of his road who
holds to exterior forms, and who does not seek
to realize the spirit In fact, it is impossible for
us to be simple in the same ways as were our
forbears, and we can only remain so, or return
to simplicity in the same spirit. We are walk
ing in other paths but the aim of humanity is
fundamentally the same. 1t is always the polar
star which directs the mariner, no matter wheth-
er he is embarked on sailing ship or a steamer
To advance towards this aim with all the
means of which we can dispose is the most i'm
portant thing, today as ever. And it is because
we have often been drawn aside that we have
confused and complicated our lives

THE MINING COMPANIES
And the Band Played on as the
Corporation Lawyers Took a
Smile

The attorneys for the big mining
companies are a fine lot OF fellows.
Jolly, able, and always ready for a
joke. Last evening, after the
Nresignation" of Alfred Donau,
and the sturdy attitude Of tho gov
ernor became known for fact,
Col. Eagan, Tom Norris and Leroy
Anderson sat in solemn council in
front of the A dams hotel debating
the situation. The gathering re-
minded us of funeral assemblage,
."Dang it, Eagan," quoth Norris,
al don't understand it. Kibbey
has always been a corporation
lawyer, and, hang him, how can
he use us so2" and the gentleman
from Yavapai sighed like the wind
blowing through a pine forest.
Col. Eagan not being quite as re-
ligious as Norris, took different
view ofthe situation, "D-n 'em.
We will show EN-" said the irate
colonel. "My companies haven't
made a dollar the past two years,
and the absurdity Of this raise

the last court in the nation; let's

up to the Adams bar TO show their

An Appeal for Statehood

In 1894, the following earnest
and eloquent appeal in behalf Of
Arizona's claims to statehood was
contained IN an argument by Hon,
Wiley e. Jones to the committee
on territories of the United States
senate, he having journeyed to
Washington for that purpose;
"No more earnest, industrious,
progressive, enterprising and hos
pitabIe people than our citizens are
to be found throughout the entire
land. They came into that country
and found it q portion of the Great
American desert, which then
stretched from Kansas City to San
Diego by the sea. They applied
their toll TO the soil. They turned
across it the reviving waters Of the
Gila, the Salt, the San Pedro and
other mountain streams; they have
reclaimed il from its desert con-
ditiops until now no more abund-
ant haryests Of cereals and delic-
ious fruits can be gathered any
where from the Atlantic to the
Pacific. Their fruits range from
the luxurious raisin grape which
cures in the sun to the hardy APP
pie Of the northern states. Their
sickles now their blossoming
meadows FIVE times in as many
months and bring in eight tons Of
fragrant hay in single season,
which is o thing unknown IN llli-
noise, Indiana, OHIO or Iowa.
ain conclusion, we beg to inn
press upon you the important fact
that the simple right to govern
ourselves as a state is all Arizona
asks, nothing more. Why should
our local laws be subject to the ap,
proval and executive will, our ter
ritorial taxes be levied and ex-
pended, and our people governed,
all under the direction of a depart
ment agent Of the interior, bold his
commission, not from our intelli.
gent and liberty loving people, but
from an appoint power three thou.

siderations that appeal to the mind.
"Our simple request IS that our
people, who pay our taxes and
bear the burden of government,
shall have a potent voice IN the
levy, collection and disbursement
Of our public taxes; that our ex-
ecutive and administrative officers
be selected by the voice OF our peo-
pie and be fully answerable to our
people for their official conduct
