The legislature which adjourned on Thursday last provided for another office in Arizona. that of public exam liner. Tbe duties of the new officer will be to check up all public officials of both the territory and the counties of the territory. The new office is one which wes needed. Heretofore it has been the custom of counties to hire ex- perts to examine the books of tte county officials and frequently these experts have not been of that chsrscer which would carry any weight or ccn- vicion with their reports. Now evoTy public official who has the handling of public funds will know that his books must at all times be open to examina- tion by an official Of the territory.
 It should be ths desire of all men that public officials should be held 10 the strictest accountability in the dis charge of their duties. In private business enterprises auditors are em- pIoyed for the purpose of chccting up cashiers and for those employed in any public matters the same system should

ARIZONA LEADS IN EDUCATION

A few mi:informed people in the east who always associate the name Of Arizona with snakes, Indians. extinct volcanoes, vast barren wastes and tor rid heat, but never with anything wholesome or progressive, would be astonished, perhaps. to knew the facts especially as to the importance end expense of the territory's public school system. According to the annual re- port for 1904 of the territorial school superintendent Arizona expends more money for public education than any state or territory of twice its wealth and population.
 Superintendent Lsyton's annual re- port gives the total expenditures in the territory for last year as $75, 529.5l.
 This amount does not include the cost of normals, university and indus trial school for 19O4-6. We are not in receipt of the auditors report, which gives the expenditures of those institutions But as the tax levy for the Tempe normal for 1904 was 6 l2 cents, the Flagstaff normal 4 cents. and the territorial industrial reform school cents. making a total of 15 l-2 cents on each $lOO of tde assessed value of all the taxable property iu the territory, a little over S39, ,O0O, GOO, the total levy for these three institu- sions must have been a litle over $60.- 900. Add this to the $475, ,529.5 ex- pended in connection with our com mon public schools and we have total cost for our educational work for 1904 of something over S535. 900.
 No other political division of this union of equal, or even double the wealth and poulstion of Arizona, can show such prodigality of expenditure for public education as that. It is to our credit, of course, and there should b no retrogression. but let us add no side degrees, so to speak. to our splen- did educational system. Will have all we can do to perpetuate it on her present plan. The increase in the number of school childenn enrolled last year over the previous years en- Toiiiinentt we're i,335S. This necsssi- tated the employ men of thrty-seven more teachers than were employed the previous year. This ratio of increase will, naturally, be exceeded each year and the increased cost of maintenance of the present adequate system will keep pace with the increase in taxable wealth.

MIR. "suttinski" Roosevelt.

Did you ever see the like for luck
of this man Roosevelt. Time and
again he has butted mas he did
in Cuban reciprocity, and in railroad
legislation, and the Trust question
and the coal strike, and every time
he has won. And more than that,
every time the people have been with
him in his winning. Every time he
has had a moral purpose behind him.
Strange. isn't 1t, that given strong
man, and luck always gets on the
moral side of any question? 1t is the
weakling and the wobb1er that
changes the luck of Gods side in a
fight But President Roosevelt has
been strong, and his strength has
brought victory wherever he has
espoused the right He has gone ont
of his way to do it and has been
known to his enemies as "Mr. Buttin-
ski" He has seen humanity lying
bleeding on the Jericho road, and has
not been with the priest and the Lee
wife in passing ON the other side. He
has been the Good Samaritan of this
decade. The Good Samaritan was a
buttinski-all good people who try to
relieve the poor from the iniquities
of the strong are buttinskies. If 1t
hadn't been for Mr.. s'tinsk1 during
the ages, the world would not be as

had told him SO or whether he had
found 1t all out for himself, but Mt the
moment when he came on that visit
to the Rawlings the decision was firm
and hot within him that he must not
lead this gay butterfly life any longer.
He must settle down.
His gallant but perfectly polite eye
fell upon Beatrice yenner. In the
drawing room after dinner he inquired
II she was fond of music, and added,
as he always did, that he himself was
devoted to It, though he was no per-
former. Pulled up somewhat short by
Beatrice's frank confession that she
did not care for music in the least,
he added, with reasonable desire to
please. that he himself knew that
there were other things, and that he
could get along very well without 1t.
The conversation passed to other
topics. That day. and the next day,
and the next, 1t was quite obvious to
Mrs. Pawling that Mfr. Yariley was
paying marked attention to the gov
erness.
There was no illegitimate secrecy
about the man. That evening in the
smoking room he explained porten-
tously to Mr.. Pawling his decision to
marry Mr.. Rawlings goyerness.
Good heavens! you don't say so1'
said Mr.. Pawling. WELL" he added,

The fishing schooner Eva Mildred
Captain Charles York, lately arrived
at Boston from the Southeast Georges
with IS large swordfish on board.
One experience of the fishermen was
thrilling. It was late in the after
noon when the lookout at the fore
topmast sighted the fish floating on
the surface of the water. He hailed
the deck. and the man at the wheel
steered for the fish, the sportsman
making ready to strike at him. It
proved very big one, and the spears.
man sent the lily iron weapon for kill
ing the fish into him with all his
force.
The man on the deck holding the
buoy attached to the lily iron rope
had scarcely time to cast it over
board, so sudden was the dive Of the
surprised fish. 1t fell to Edward
Estes to take the dory and go after
the fish with rowing mate
Estes caught up to the buoy. and
planting himself at the stern Of the
dory, began to pull in the line AS
soon as the fish felt the first tug on
the line he turned in the direction Of
the dory, and came for it like a flash
Diving within ten feet of it. he came
up Under it, and drove the hard, bony
sword nearly two feet through the
bottom within few inches of where
Estes stood.
The sword caught fast, and the fish
nearly overturned the dory in his
attempts to get free. Estes cut the
intruding sword off at the bottom of
,the dory and the fish freed itself and
later was killed. The piece of sword
cut off by Estes was kept on board
as trophy.
