ACTIONS NOT WORDS NEEDED.

A petition has been circulated ask
 ing the Rough Riders 10 set the place
 of holding their next annual reunion
 at Prescott. Considerable space has
 been devoted to the same subject in
 the newspapers. Talk and petitions are not all that are needed. It is nec- essary that an organized effort should be made to get the meeting held here and for this purpose meeting should be called either by the mayor or some other party, preferably this officer, and take definite action on the mat ter. There are more things to do to secure the meeting than to simply ask for it. If the people really want to get the reunion here next year, and in view of the building of the O'Neill monument it would be fitting and ap- propriate that it should be held bere, they should set to work at once to get the invitation properly before the body at its meeting which will be held at San Antonio, April 5th aud 9th. A meeting should be called and every one interested in the matter should a ttend and the invitation put into proper shape attended with the proper guarantees for the entertainment of the Rough Riders should they meet here

HOUSE DID
 NOT PASS IT

Frou Tuesdays Daily.
 SpeaBing yesterday of the fate of the statehood election bill, Chief Clerk J. P. Dillon, of the assembly said that the bill never passed the house and that the record on the bill will be found to be prefectly correct.
 It was referred to the committee of the whole after being introduced and was given i;s proper place in the file. The committee only held two or three sessions after it was committed there and the only way to have had it ad. vanced would have been for some member to have called it up. l he bill having been introduced by the con- mittee it did not seem to have any special sponsor SO it remained in its position in the file of bills, of which there was a large number, and being intro tuced very late in the session it's position was naturally away down to- wards the bottom of the file. At the last meeting of the committee of the whole a recommendation was made to report all bills in the hands of the commit se favorably, which was adopt ed and all of them were thereby plac- ed on third reading.

LEGISLATORS SUPPLEMENTED

A gentleman who was in attend ance at the legislature, a considera- ble portion of the session has fur nIshed the Journal-Miner with the following complimentary mention of the Yavapai delegation. Yavapai county has just reason to feel proud of her representation in the Twenty third Legislative assembly. Each member of the delegation worked hard and conscientiously for the good of the county and the whole territory.
 One of the most able and aggressive men in the house was Le Roy Ander- son of this city. He was by long odds the most powerful and forceful speak CT in the lower house and was we'll prepared to discuss any measure be- fore it came to a final vote. His speech in support of the Buckley O'Neill Monument bill was perhaps the most finished effort delivered dur ing the session and it, without doubt, secured the passage of the measure by the house and paved the way for the successful effort of DI. Looney in fore ing it through the council in the face Of strong opposition.
 Anderson is the type of man who would make his presence felt in any assembly and with the enthusiastic support accorded him by both Messrs. Hull and Perkins he was able to se- cure the passage of or to defeat any measure affecting his county and as the leader of the minority be played an important part in all matters affect 1 ing the interests of the territory at large.

INVESTIGATION OF OIL TRUST

We learn from an article in the Washington Star that the investigation of the methods of the Standard Oil business in Kansas, called for by a resolution of Representative Camp bell, of Kansas, has been begun by Commissioner Garfield, of the bureau or corporations and will be carried to a complete and rapid finish under the eye of the commissioner and his most trusted agents. The investigation will be as thorough as it can be made and no loophole will be left for the escape of anything that has a bearing on the charges that the Standard Oil com pany has not acted in accordance with the strict letter of the law in operat- ing its business in the state of Kansas.
 The report of Commissioner Garfield will be made directly to President Roosevelt. Whether it will be made public will lie within the discretion of the chief executive. Commissioner Garfield says that nothing will be left undone by his bureau to develop the facts regarding the operations of the oil trust in Kansas, as we'll as in other states.
 It is not the purpose of the commis- sioner to confine the inquiry to Kan sas. It will not be circumscribed by state or geographical lines. It is the intention to make the investigation as exhaustive as the resolution of Repre- sentative Campbell contempIates, the purpose being to develop all the facts regarding the operations of the oil trust,
 During the past year," says Con- missioner Garfield, "a great amount of general information relating to the oil trust has been obtained. This af- fords a basis from which to undertake immediately specific inquiries into the conditions existing in specific fields, such as Kansas, Texas and California.
 ''rhe method of procedure will be similar to that followed in the inquiry into the operations of the alleged beef trust. The commissioner of corpora tions personally and through special | agents will obtain information from | original sources. Already these sour ces of information have been sounded. | They have responded to the commis- sioner of corporations by agreeing to furnish information to afford the full lest opportunity for inspection and examination of records and accounts, and to answer all questions pertinent to the matters invovled in the inqui- ry."

As serious a matter as war is there
 are humorous sides to it which occa-
 sionally present themsevles to the
 public. For instance, a telegram from
 St. Petersburg on Thursday night
 gravely announced that ''it can be
 definitely stated that the decision to appoint Grand Duke Nicholas Nichol- aievitch to the supreme command in
 the far east has been reconsidered be- cause the outlook at the front does
 not warrant the risk of compromising the prestige of member of the imper-
 ial family" Wonder what Alexander the Great, Napoleon or any of the
 worlds famous warriors would think of such an announcement. It is enough to make a ghost laugh. As much as to say that these grand dukes are an aggregation of nincompoops who would like to command an army, who had its enemy on the run where martial ability or valor was not need cu III 1lS 1ut is contradictory of itself as if Grand Duke Snikelfritzsky, or whatever he is called, has any military prestige to lose, or that he could ever attain any military prestige, or prestige of any other kind, while not willing to as- sume responsibility. The greater in sight one obtains of the inside history of Russia. and the men who rule the rulers of that country the less horrible seem the acts of the as sassins who hunt and kill grand dukes. Were 1t not for that mill stone of an imperial family" com posed of grand dukes and other useless around the neck of Czar different conditions would be obtained in Russia and that country would not have lost the prestige it has in the war with Japan, as there would have been no war.

Many deaths from inauguration ex- posture, conspicuously among them
 that of Senator Bates, of Tennessee, has again awakened the country to the perils of that indictment season. There is no doubt but that thousands
 have been slain in attending the in auguration ceremonies in winter weather. Organized effort is again on foot to change the day of the induction into office of the president elect from cold, gusty wet, of freezing March the fourth, to the last Thursday in April, which latter date from weather statis- tic; is in Washington usually warm and balmy and fiowery without being heated. Men of national reputation are engaged in the effort to have the inaugural day changed to the more sslubriols period and 1t is hoped that the next event, when the new paIatial station in Washington shall have been completed and the new mammoth convention hall shall be an accomplished fact the tens of thous- ands of American citizens who go to Washington to witness and honor the induction of president may be able to do so in vernal weather with out peril to theIr lives from colds, grip and pneumonia.

Right on the heels of the action taken by Kansas in establishing an oil refinery comes the news that the legis- lature of Nebraska has appropriated 52OO, GOO with which to fight the cord age trust. It is proposed to build a factory and manufacture binder twine at price for which the trust cannot possibly afford to make. It will thus be seen that the trusts are forcing the issue of government and municipal ownership of public utilities and are making greater headway towards 1t than socialists and populists have been able to accomplish, by their campaigns of argument.

however, change the position of the
 bills in the file and it still remained
 we'll down towards the bottom of the
 file. Had some member made a motion
 to the effect it could have been ad
 vanced and considered ahead of other
 bill in the file but this was not done and after about twenty four bills of
 the file had been disposed of the ses- sion adjourned killing the above bill,
 together with large number of oth- CTS. It failed of pas. age through hay ing no one to look after and have it advanced out of it's regular course. MT. Dillon says that any member of the house can substantiate the above and Speaker Webb particularly, who kept recorI of all bills and of every move made with them is fully cogni- zant of the above record of this bill. A Phoenix paper recently published an item intimating that the bill had passed the house and that it was lost between the house and council having never reached the latter body. It was to correct this statement that MT. Dillon referred to the history of the bill. As the house seemed in favor of 1t and 10 opposition had developed towards it he said that all that was apparently needed was to have had some one make a motion to advance it on the file and to have called it up.

When an assassin called on Grand Duke Alexis for the purpose of ex- plodIng a bomb to send him to eterni- ty he was very much surprised to find that his intended host and victim had gone to visit Germany. The would be assassin was arrested and thrown into a dungeon, but he says that Alexis will not escape as there are other as- sassins ready to accomplish the job in which he failed. A man does not seem to need a crown on his head in Russia to make it "uneasy lie.''

That peace talk telegraphed from St. Petersburg sounds very much like
 Russian bluff. It says that Russia is
 perfectly willing to make overtures
 for peace and at once an outline of
 terms on which it would be considered
 is made. The talk and the terms taken together gives out the inference that Russia believes victorious Japan is more anxious to stop the war than defeated Russia. It was action on just such similar lines during the diplo- matic progress of the adjustment of troubles that led 10 the outbreak of the war, Russia assuming that Japan did not dare to engage in a war with her. This idea does not seem to have been dispelled even yet from the Rus. sian diplomatic brain, if the telegrams from St. Petersburg give anything like a correct idea of the terms on which they would insist, in case of peace negotiations. It does not re- quire much of a diplomat to foresee that the terms spoken of would not be entertained by Japan. While having suffered a continuous series of defeats on land and water, Russia asserts that she would not permit herself to be humiliated but the terms proposed as acceptable to her would very closely the humiliation of her con- quering enemy.

AIva Adams bobs up with an address tr the people of Colorado" in which he hurls lot of language which is calcu- lated to do no end of damage if it happens to come in contact with any thing that offers resistance. There s no denying that some of his assertions are true; but the trouble with Adams is that he does not come into the court of public opinion with clean hands.
