IMPORTANT (?) TELEGRAM.

An alleged telegram in last nights Herald purporting to have been sent from San Antonio, Texas, says that elaborate preparations are being made for the reception of Pres ident Roosevelt and the two hundred Rough Riders who will be here on Friday at the reunion of Rough Riders" And the alleged tele- gram adds: "bnsiness men are decor ating their houses. The American flag is the chief decoration, while hun dreds of yards of bunting is being stretched across the streets and along the roofs of buildings. The impor- tance of this telegram arises from the fact that the associated press seems to have been criminally negligent, in ov erlooking the item. The Rough Riders reunion has been announced to take place in San Antonio on Wednesday and Thursday April and 6. and but for this telegram this mistake might not have been discovered and those rough riders might have met there on the days mentioned and had their re- union all over before Friday, the day for which the elaborate preparations are being made.
 It is also most gratifying to learn hat American flags and bunting are being used for decorations. But for ths San Antonio telegram people might have thought that those San Antonions were using confederate flags, or Spanish flags, or some other old kind of flags, and cheese cloth to decorate with.
 Then it is so lovely to learn that

APPROVES THE PLAN.

Speaking editoIially of the proposi- tion to secure the next Rough Riders reunion in Pre- icott the Phoenix Re- publican says:
 "Quite opportunely, the people ot Prescott are making the suggestion that the next reunion of the Roose- welt Rough Rider association follow ing the forthcoming meeting at San Antonio, should be held at Prescott. The suggestion is timely, tor two req sons. At San Antonio, next week, the association will determine when and where the next reunion shall be held i; and the recently enacted law provid ing for the O'Neill Rough Rider monument at Prescott fixes that city as the logical location for a reunion of the living comrades of the regi- ment when the monument is unveiled.
 Arizona of course, will be strongly represented at the San Antonio reun- ion, and Prescott's claims will be elo- quently pressed. not only by the com mittee sent for that purpose but by all the Arizonans at the gathering. There can be no objections on geo. graphical grounds. Prescott is easily accessible and Arizona is the home of many soldiers of the Spanish war. The legislature intended that the monument should be memorial to all the fallen Rough Riders as well as to Captain O'Neill, and the unveiling of the first monument of that charac- ter should certainly be an occasion for a reunion of ths survivors.
 ''With the completion of the monu- ment as the occasion, and President Roosevelt as the chief guest, reun- ion of the Rough Riders at Prescott would be a great territorial event.

Ling Files More Suits In the District
 Court
Eight Filed Yesterday Brings Total up to TWentY-LaW Severe on Those Who Have not Paid Up Attorney Gets 25 per cent for His Services.

Attorney Reese M. Ling, acting for Treasurer and Tax Collector Ed. $. Wright, yesterday afternoon filed eight more suits against delinquent taxpayers, making a total of about twenty filed with the district court clerk for taxes que for 1904.
 Attorney Ling states that he has numOer of similar cases in course of preparation, and as soon as papers can be completed they will be filed In the districtscourt,a and broughtIon for trial as soon as reached on the calendar.
 These cases are brought under the new tax law, which was approved by the Arizona legislature on March 19, 1903. This law provides a severe pen alty for those who allow their taxes to become delinquent on the second Monday Tn each December. According to its provisions ''the taxes that remain unpaid on the sec ond Monday in December, annually, shall be deemed delinquent, and the tax collector shall proceed to enforce lien of the territory thereon, as re- quired by this chapter.
 "All taxes hereafter becoming de- linquent shall bear per cent. inter est per month from he time they be- come delinquent until paid, and shall also be subject to Ibe same fees, com missions and charge as in this chap ter provided for taXe ,tow delinquent. In computing interest IT der this sec tion a fraction of noU,n shall be re- garded as a whole moth. Section 93 allows per cent. of .Le original tax for collection.
 ''The clerk of the board of supervisors shall receive twenty five cents per tract, city or town lot on such lots, etc., from 1888 to 1902 inclusive and un 1905 and subsequent years the sum of fifteen cents per tract, city or town lot. This is the clerks fee fer tran scribing the assessment into the Back Tax Book.
 "Sixty days after the second Mon day in December, annually the tax collector shall commence suit to col lect such tax, interest, costs and pen aIties including 9 per ceRt. of the tax added as costs for attorneys fee for bringing the suit on all delinquent property"
 Attorney Ling receives as renumera- tion for his legal services 9 per cent of all the money collected from delin- quents through the courts. This amounted is added to the judgment rendered against each of the defend ants.
 One peculiar feature of the law is that the county shall not be liable for court costs in the event of decision being rendered in favor of the prop erty owner.
 Beside the cases now being filed by Attorney Lng there are several dozen of the same kind that were filed for ex-Tax Collector J. P. Storm by his attorney, the late Judge Wright.

That primary election law passed by the recent legislature is not much of a law after all. It is practically no better than no primary election law. The only good feature about it is that it requires all parties to hold their primaries on the same day also to hold their conventions Un the same date. The essence of good primary election law is to permit voters to cast their ballots in favor of the candidate of their choice. This feature is omitted, and the vote is cast for delegates to a convention just the same as they have done heretofore.

A TH0UGHTLESS ISLANDER.

An article in last nights Herald, published apparently with kindliuess of heart, but also with an apparent thoughtlessness of results, is not cal culated to create a favorable impress sion abroad. It consisted of an edi- torial appeal to our citizens to aid the poor. 4 reader of it, unacquainted with the place would naturally draw the inference taht squalor, want, suf- ferlng and misery existed here to an alarming extent and that our citizens

Neil T. Sullivan, is forming the National Inheritance Tax league, which aims to force the taxing of in heritance by the United States and "to prevent the unjust accumulation of wealth by a few" To this end, it will work tor the imposition of tax of one per cent. on all inheritances up to s25, 900, and gradually on a ris- ing scale to about six per cent. on in heritances of above ss25, coo, GOO. An exchange, speaking of the above item says that on this basis the United States treasury would get about s36, = GOO, 900 from the $500, 900, 900 estate ot John D. Rockefeller when be dies, if such legislation were in force. Don't worry about John, or figure on him paying any portion of the national debt through the avenue of an inheri- tance tax. He could easily deed, as- sign or otherwise dispose of his prop erty prior to death, so that there would be very little inheritance to it after JohE is dead and gone, and do not think for a minute that he would overlook such a transaction. He has been too long In the oleaginous busi- ness not to have become slick enough for that.

One of the strongest arguments in favor of holding the next reunion of the Rough Riders in Prescott, has not yet been advanced. That is the good hunting which can be furnished to the former colonel of the regiment, now President Roose- welt, in this section. After the close of the reunion which will convene in San Antonio next Wed nesday, the president will go clear to Colorado for a hunt for wild game. In case the re- union is held in Prescott the Juniper mountains will afford a splendid op- portunity for him to exercise his prowess in hunting mountain lions and similar game, while if he wishes the more exciting pastime of hunting bears he can be accommodated in the Mogollon mountains. Sturdy noun taineers and experienced hunters are here also to guide him to the Iairs of such game and he can have a glorious hunt right here in this county. This of itself would no doubt be an induce ment fol. r.the president to have the re- unIcn meet here.

were a hard, stony hearted, unsympa- thetic and misanthropic class of peo- pie. Otherwise, why should such an urgent entreaty be made to them to assist the poor.
 The facts are just the contrary to the conclusions which would naturally
 be drawn from the reading of that ar ticle. In no place of the size of Pres colt, probably, can there be less real suffering or want found than exists
 here. Of course, through sickness or other misfortunes, there are occasion al cases, which call for charity, but no more generous class of citizens can
 be found any place on earth than those composing this community, and when such a demand is made, it is met with a prompt and generous re- sponse.
 The various churches of the city have societies connected with them, whose duty it is to look after and pro- vide for such cases, and right we'll is the duty performed. They do not rush into the newspapers with long pharisaical dissertation every time they find family unable to provide for all the wants of all the members of it, but go quietly about furnishing relief in the scriptural way, by not letting their left hand know what their right hand is doing, and they do not have to resort to any appeals through the public press to accom- plish their object. Occasionally an emergency may arise where the end can be obtained more quickly, by cal ling attention to it through the press, but even then all that is necessary is a mere mention of it as our people are not made of the Stuff that require to bo implored and appealed to, in de- serving cases of charity, and efforts put forth publicly in this way, are in- directly islander on our people, and certainly only thoughtlessness could prompt such measures. In addition to the church organizations, nearly every secret fraternity in the town is a relief committee and the charities dispensed are seldom ever heard of by outsiders and not even by many of the members of the order dispen nsing the relief. Real, genuine, heart felt charity is not proclaimed through a megaphone from the housetops nor ev en through the columns of newspa per, nor is it boasted of often by the philanthropic individual bestowing it.

There is an adage that has almosC the authority of an axiom that man
 who talks much does little. This ad- age is completely disproved in the ex- ample of the president of the United States. Few men have done more and he talks and speechifies and sermon izes necessarily? Moreover few men preach better and more effectively. His talk last Sunday at the church which he habitually attends was dIs- tinguIshed for breadth elevation and an earnestness coupled with a rare common sense such as has not been possessed in higher degree by previous president or ruler in the worlds his tory. We need make no exception Marcus Aurelius, Themistocles, Wash ington, Lincoln, Roosevelt is eminent in this list. How small appear the Vardanans, Cammacks, Kitchins and that other member of congress from Alabama, i've have forgotten his name) but he is distinguished solely for an anarchistic remark about Roosevelt and Booker Washington during the last campaign.

ANNOUNCEMENT.

With the present issue the un- dersigned assumes the editorial and business management of the Jour nal-Miner. Its readers will miss the able articles from the pen of MT. Martin that for the past twen- ty-two years have graced its edi- torial page, and who has rendered a service to the community which cannot be measured by words.
 With new capital invested, there by making its equipment better and its facilities more complete, the Journal-Miner expects to enter upon a new era. In my ser vice here I shall steadily keep in mind the standards of legitimate and wholesome journalism as understand them from nearly six teen years of experience, and shall endeavor to be faithful to them in connection with my duties and re- responsibilities.
 It shall be my aim to make the Journal-Miner efficient as a news paper; to make it a support to the industries upon which the welfare of this city and county depends. l shall seek to make it a platform upon which every phase of con- scientious public opinion can find respectful hearing; to inspire its utterances with intelligence and integrity; to make it morally clean and intellectually stimulating.
 The Journal-Miner will be a newspaper in its truest sense-a factor for the upbuilding of the in terests of the community, and not a mere partisan organ to be manip- ulated for political purposes. Ad- herring to this policy, it will not hesitate to fay scoundrels in pub lie office when its duty to the pub lie demands it, regardless of what the political affiliations of the of lenders may he. Conscientiously believing that the principles of the Republican party are those which make for progress and prosperity. the paper will continue steadfast in that faith and its candidates will have our loyal and active support.
 Within the next two weeks, a linotype machine will be installed; the paper will be enlarged, its facilities for job printing and for enhancing the effectiveness Of its advertising pages will be increased, and itsnews gathering organization will be improved. From time to time, we hope to add new and pleasing features which will make the paper even more acceptable and valuable to its readers than it is at present. l do not desire to make extravagant promises for the future, preferring to let each issue speak for itself, feeling confident that if it deserves it, the Journal-Miner will receive the support and conf- dence of this community.
 Very respectfully,
 J. w. NILNES.

The Albuquerque Journal has the following to say about an Arizona pro- duction: "The Arizona Socialist is a newspaper looking for notUriety. Its editor abuses the president, the gov ernor of Arizona, the public officials generally and members of the Twenty third legislature. To call the So- cialist newspaper is misnomer. It makes no pretensions to such honors It is simply intended as a vehicle through which an individual gives vent to his personal pessimistic opinions for the delectation of con- stituency which seems to enjoy that sort of stuff.
