 The disposition of Judge Hooker's case by the New York legislature, is evidence strongly confirmatory of the charge so frequently and publicly made, that the people and decency in public affairs do not reign in the em- pire state, but that it is under the rule of a political boss. whose notorious grocery methods are stench in the nostrils of most of the self-respecting citizens of the state who are not hope lessly under the spell of blind politi- cal partisanship.-Fall River Globe.
 It appears that the United States Steel corporation has never since had so complete a possession of iron and steel production as at the beginning of it's career. American Iron and Steel association statistics show that the trust now produces only thirty eight per cent. of the country's total output of pig iron, against forty-fve per cent. in 1902: only 53.S per cent. of the output of Lake Superior orc. against GOA per cent. in 1902: and siXty-one per cent. of steel produc- ton. against 65.7 per cent. in 19O2.-- Meriden Journal.
 The organisms discovered in a di- seased appendix have been discovered by a physician in defective teeth. He therefore argues that appendicitis may be caused by bad teeth. The doctor does not think, however, that modern teeth are as bad as ordinarily supposed. Egyptian and Roman re- mains indicate, he says. that larger proportion of diseased teeth existed at that time than at the present day. He recommends the use of cod liver oil to promote the growth of teeth in children. and also suggests a tooth brush drill in the schools. Record.
 It is now understood that there will be no dissolution of parliament till after another session next year dur ing which a government bill will be . introduced equalizing representation, at least as regards the number of re- presentatives from the two united kingdoms. With a population greater than that of Ireland, Scotland has I2 members to Ireland's 1o3. the number settled upon by the act of union. 1t will be proposed to reduce the nuEi- . her of representatives from Ireland to the same number Scotland elects. The inequality of the number of vo- ters in the parliamentary districts Is almost as great as in Connecticut, but the difficulty of equalizing them will probably defer any very radical measure dealing with it for some years to Bridgeport Farmer.

Tn an interesting talk on the college girl as a breadwinner. graduate of Wellesley. who keeps an agency. states that about the only difficulty she finds with college women who consult her about bread-winning opportunities is frequently an unwillingness to hegin at the bottom of the ladder. They don't understand in going into busi- ness it is generally necessary to take a subordinate position at small salary. hut they feel they should at once draw the salary they would command as teachers" The profession usually se- lected by the college graduate Is that of teaching. but very many are now taking up stenograpny, as there Is con siderable demand for college-brei wo- men as secretaries. and in position where a knowledge of languages counts. Publishing houses also offer a promising field to the educated woman who is willing to begin at the bottom of the ladder.

IS GLASS A LIQUID?

When a liquid crystallizes," says Morris w. Trayers. ill recent lecture, neat is evolved, and it is found that the solid and liquid have different densities; there is, in fact, discon- finuiry in the properties of tine solid and liquid states, or to use the modern term. phases of the substance. Ane formation of the glassy substance Is not, however, accompanied by any such change; it is, ill fact, only d hlgh- ly viscous liquid. Clear proof of thE liquid nature of window glass, for in- stance, lies in the fact that cut made in it with a diamond rapidly heads so that after d short time the glass is less readily broken along the cut than when it was first made. Such glasSy bodies cannot be regarded as true solids, which should. ill every case, De capable of existing ill d crystalline form, though this is not always appar- ent.

FRIENDS OF CUhnlNS
Think k He Has Returned to lis First
 Love - Tariff Revision.

Washington, b. C., Aug 22.- Friends of Governor Cummlns ot iowa are discussing several speeches re. gently made hy him which nave Jed 10 considerable speculation as t' whether he has abandoned his advo' cacy of government regulation of rail road rates and returned to his first loye-tariff revision. The speeches were delivered ill rapid succession, the first in a debate with Hon Danlel Davenport, of Bridgeport Conn, at Clarinda. Iowa. and the second, TWO days later. before the reciprocity con vention at Chicago. Because of the statements made by Governor Cum mins before the senate committee Oh interstate commerce last spring, IL
 was exnacted that he would discuss inc question at length before the Cla- rinda Chautauqua. especially as that was announced as the subject for the debate. MT Davenport was therefore prepared to reply to him should ne go over the same ground covered Ill hls statements before the senate commit fec But when the debate" came oil the governor paid very little attention to the railroad question and devoted himself largely to a definition and eu- logy of the common people, lhaklns a reference to the tariff situation and advocating q general primary law TOT the state. His definition of the conl- mon people" was. in brief, those who are willing that all others shall enjoy all the rights and privileges enjoyed bv themselves. He also quoted brief h from his testimony at Washington, staring that while he was not anti railroad" or '-anti-corporation. the railroads and corporations should be prevented from doing the voting. The common people he declared. must .top and prevent for inc future the rt,Ia of rhe railroad managers. To this mart of Governor Cummins' speech Judge Davenport replied that as by far inc largest part of the interest bearing securities of the railroads were held either directly by Ihe ''coEi- r7ou r.eonle-- as individual investments, or indirectly. and collectively. through inc savings banks and life insurance enupauie=. it was in reality the com
 mon people who would he most af- fected by any change in the present ToIisT of the government towards the railroads lIr Davenport referred in tiattering terms to the present pros Igeritv of Iowa. which he held was ai- { TnoSr entirely due to the railroads without which il and its neighboring

 ground that if the Iowa manufactur.

Tn several counties of Kansas the new census returns show that the men greatly outnumber the women. This probably accounts for the proud and imperious disdain of the Kansas maid- ems whose chances In the matrimonial table of expectancy are far brighter than in other and less favored com munities. In one county there is a man and seven-eighths to every girl. It is said the girls of this county have developed the naughty eye and marble heart along with the straight front and mincing glide. To the signing swains of the locality they give the trapped salutation in the security of knowing that if they fail to land a travelling man or college harvest hand they can always rely upon the local supply of eligibles.

There died recently at the age or ninety-four a New Jersey woman who remembered being kissed by Lafayette when he visited this country as na- tional guest in 1924. It was an or dinary Hobsonizing affair--the salute of schoolgirls. who in companies spread flowers in the pathway Of the distinguished and titled foreigner. UT course Lafayette never remembered the individual recipients of the honor of being kissed by Washington S friend and the champion vofs liberty, but the favored ones treasured the re- collection to their dying days. only for episodes of this kind the memory of Lafayette would seldom be re- called. and the country surely ought not to forget his tender gallantry nor his chivairy on the field.

sit upon murder cases on that ground. In addition to those who are consci- entiously opposed to inflicting the ex- treme penalty there are many who ac- tually serve in murder trials who are prejudiced against the extreme rigor of the law, and their findings are compromise with conscience. Greater discretion in the hands of the jury, whether to adjudge the death penalty or Imprisonment for life in any case of first degree murder, would doubt less be benefit to society. Convic- tions would be more speedy, fewer homicides would go unpunished and fewer murders would be committed.

Apropos of the demonstration over Paul Jones' remains, the Jacksonville Times-U remarks: "Why call Paul Jones 'admiral:' The title was given him by Russia, not by us. We failed to pay his salary and allowed him to pay his crews with his own money, refusing repayment after*ard. Even the famous victory was in no sense ours, since France fitted out the expedition and sent him out. And Jones suffered by inexperienced cap tains with influence being set above him time and time again. Honors paid to Jones reflect seriously on us now unless we suppose praise of the dead may atone for wrongs to the liv- ing" But this is one of the cases covered by better late than never"

SMASHED A WINDOW.
Penn's Dray Team Did Much Damage
 ia Short Time.

A rather peculiar accident occurred yesterday morning. in which Bud Penn's dray team and wagon and A. M. Harmers north store window fig ured largely. The team was standing near the bakery, and some children playing near, it is said. frightened the team. They started to back and con- tinued doing so until the rear wheels of the wagon struck the sidewalk in front of the drug store. Even then they did not stop. and the rear of the wagon butted into the large plate glass in the front of the window and at the same time smashed the smaller one at the side. Displayed in the window were two "talkaphOne" machines and num- Der of valuable records. Both machines and most of the records were more or less damaged, to just what extent MT farmer has not yet been able to deter mine. but the loss in that line alone is estimated somewhere between $25 and $50. Mir. Ha-mer was in the rear of crash, hurried to the front of the building. His surprise, naturally, was great at seeing the rear of the wagon standing in the front window. MT. Penn also appeared soon after the wagon and team was removed. The entire damage will figure somewhere near Sl50. The largest glass cost something over eighty dollars and the smaller one about half that amount. Fortunately. no one was injured, and it becomes one of financial consideration more than anything else.

TEMPE
DEATH OF L. p. MOORE.
io Passed Away Quietly Yesterday
 About ii O'clock.

Yesterday morning, a little before noon, L. P. Moore died at the home of A. J. Peters. The end, though not un- expected. was sad, as he leaves a wife and three-year-old son to mourn his loss. MT. Moore had been in i'll health for some time, and two months ago was obliged to resign his position as deputy treasurer, and since that time his de- cline has been very rapid. Some weeks ago all hope of his recovery was given up not only by his friends and rela- tives. but by himself, and he became perfectly resigned, even suggesting the songs that should be sung at his fu- neral. Sunday evening he became un- conscious and remained so until his death. The funeral will be held this afternoon at 4o'clock from the home of \. J. Peters, and the interment will be ,ade at the Double Butte cemetery. The services at the house will be con- ducted by Rev. J. c. Rollins of the M. F. church, and at the grave they will be iu charge of the Masonic order, of N hict. he was a prominent member.
 Mr. Moore was 9 native of Indiana aud would have been 36 years old Jan UaIy @th Of next year. He came to ArZnna III the spring of 1899 and spent a couple of months in Phoenix before coming to Tempe. In March of that year he took a position with c. T. Hay den and remained with the firm until September. 1901, when he took an in- terest in the Arizona Mercantile com pany, and was a shareholder in the business until about a year ago, when he retired. He devoted several months before election to work in that line. and on January 1 went into the treas u-ers office as deputy treasurer. This W ork proved too cOnfning to him. and in March he was obliged to give it up.

O. c. Stout was before Justice Neil son yesterday on a charge of being drunk and disorderly. He pleaded guilty to the charge and was fined sIO. but put up such a plea to be allowed to go to work and pay the fine, and in the course of his plea shed so many tears that the heart of the judge was soft ened and he was permitted to take a position on Billy Strong's thresher.
