The Spirit of the Crowd.

We recommend toparents that
have boys aged 13 to IS, that
they keep them from joining the
crowd. A crowd is like a mob.
1t is ruled by caprice and folly,
and frequently does things that
no single individual if left to him
self, would ever think of doing
An Instances to the point
On Sunday evening last, large
crowd-some Is or 90 boys of
the above mentioned age congre-
gated after the evening services
in front of the Oakley Pharmacy
and thus lent themselves to any
suggestion that His Satanic Ma
jesty had to offer They were not
held long in waiting for when a
couple OF the Academy teachers
passed by shortly afterward on
their way to make a call, the
crowd fell in, as sifmoved by some
great impulse and followed them
down the street, with their
taunts and jests and ribalry.
When the teachers stopped at
the friends home, the crowd
stopped too, and continued their
deviltry. The next move was
to thrust open the door of
peaceable citizens home and to
throw into the room a four foot
cedar post-j ust for amusement.
Fortunately this sport did not
result disastrously, though it
must be confessed that there was
more of good luck than conduct
in the affair as a mother sat in
the middle OF the room with her
infant in her arms and whose head
was barely missed by the missile.
An investigation of the affair
has beenmade during the week
and number of the participants
have expressed sorrow for their
conduct, but do not know why
they did it, t,-Others-whethe they
live in Oakley or other settlements
will perhaps render explanation
before many days, or answer to
the law, as the injured party
does not propose to suffer such
treatment at the hands of hood
lums without correction.
But, the point is: 'Deviltry
and hoodlumism are developed
in the crowd that gathers on the
Streets The very old Nick
prompts such gatherings and
few recent experiences in Oakley
somewhat similar to the one
mentioned above, plainly evi-
dcnce the fact that something
ought to be done.
We suggest to parents that
they keep a more watchful eve
over their boys. If it is neces-
Sary for them to go out of an
evening see to Il, that they go
directly to their place ofappoint-
ment and that they return di
rectly home. Keep them, we say
from the low, vulgar, crowd that
loaf upon the streets-for the
spirit of such gatherings is injur-
ions nd leads ~ trn-bla

it, or even the gamblers themselves, would be unable to subsist from the revenue created from the gam bling table. Gamblers produce nothing. The occupation of the professional gambler is not, and never can be, recognized as a dig nified or legitimate business. He panders to one of the most destruc- tive passions, and he knows it. But the Review is not enlisted in the anti-gambling movement as re- former. The moral plea against the vicious habit of gambling is all true and good as far as it goes. But reformers who are intelligently hon. est in their opposition to gambling might as we'll find out in the be- ginning that the best way and the inevitable way to suppress gam bling is to realize and enforce the truth, viz: That gambling is not a business, and that it is menace to the enduring prosperity of any community.
 The Review sincerely hopes that the anti-gambling bill will pass at the present session of the legisla- ture. While it has not been made a party measure in this territory previously, and no mention of pub lie gambling has ever appeared in any territorial platform of either party, the appearance of the bill in democratic legislature raises the issue. It remains to be seen what the democratic representatives will do with it. If the legislature fails to meet the issue squarely the dem- ocratic party will unquestionably incorporate the anti-gambling plank in it's next territorial platform, and on this issue will sweep the terri tory. Now is the test, whether or not the party chose wisely at the last election.-Bisbee Review.

Some day the section of country north of Cerbat Wash and reach ing as far north as Quail Springs, will become the greatest producer of copper ore in the country. There are few veins in that country that does not carry copper to some ex- tent, Some of the veins are very large, carrying bodies of low grade copper, but there are other veins that carry ores rich in gold and sill yer, as we'll as copper. The Cerbat mine, at Cerbat, is one of the nota. ble instances of the veins carrying big values in all the metals. In the early days it was worked ex- clusively as a gold mine, but it is now considered among the possible mines of the county. It still re- tains it's gold values and in the lower workings carries considerable copper sulphides.- Kingman Miner.

Harcourt Released

John F. Harcourt, the alleged diamond swindler, was released on bond in Tucson this week. Har- court has been in jail for several weeks charged with obtaining money under false pretenses, the victim in the case being Albert Steinfeldt of Tucson. D. J. Spires and M. c. Spires are the sureties. After the bond had been signed and approved Harcourt, who looked none the worse for several months stay in the county jail. grasped MT. Pacheco by the hand and thanked him for courtesies ex- tended. He then climbed into Joe Spires trap and was driven to Mir. Spires home at Stone avenue and Ochoa streets, where Harcourt's wife was awaiting him.
 Harcourt was placed in jail Mo- vember 22 by ex-Sheriff Murphy, who secured his man in Los An geles on requisition issued by Governor Brodie.
 At the preliminary hearing in Justice Culver's court in Tucson the bail bond was fixed at $8,OOO.  Upon application, at later date, Justice Kent at Phoenix reduced the bond, fixing the amount at $3,0OO. This was effected about two months ago.-Citizen.

 Burt Alvord, the famous bandit, and partner of Billy Stiles. who was sent up from Tombstone for a period of two years for robbing the United States mails, may be re- leased from Yuma in few months, if he gets all of the good time coming to him. Alvord has several Territorial charges hanging over his head and he may be arrested as soon as he steps from the prison, as the Arizona authorities are not anxious to again have the famous bandit at large.

LII llllC dUOuG uVO GllOuSduo AuCii OA the army and navy. There will be artillerymen from New York, Phil adelphia and Washington, and ma rines from the various navy yards in the east. The cadets from West Point and the midshipmen from Annapolis will also parade in full uniform.
 Tkere will probably be ten thou sand members of National Guard organizations from the various states in line in the military divis- ion. Governor Higgins, of New York, will ride on horseback at the head of four or five regiments of New York soldiers. Pennsylvania will send brigade and it is expect ed that Governor Pennypacker can be prevailed upon to ride horse back.
 It had originally been the inten- tion to turn out the entire National Guard division of Pennsylvania, of about twenty regiments, but the in augural committee begged off, stat ing that quarters could not be found for such large number of troops from one state. It has been the custom of the Keystone state to send its entire army to inaugura- tions, and as they are compelled to appear in long winter overcoats, the monotony of a long line of men in heavy marching order, requiring three hours to pass given point, has detracted from the spectacle of the parade rather than added to it. General Wilson has, therefore, advised that states sending troops here look rather to the showiness and soldier like appearance of the commands than to the numbers. Maryland, New Jersey, Massachu- sets, Virginia, Alabama, Ohio, Hi nois and Indiana will send military organizations. Most of the gover- nors from the northern and western states will ride in line with their staffs even if they do not bring their National Guard with them.
 General Wilson is now wrestling with the question of quartering the visiting troops. At previous inaug- urations they have been quartered in the halls and corridors of the state, war and navy buildings and other government buildings. But the visitors have defaced the build ings and the heads of departments have decided not to repeat the hos pitable experiment. So other quart CTS will be found for the troops from a distance.

ARIZONA HAD A
 HOWL COMING

AIlZOud lS uOL dltOSSGIl6I WltllOuL sympathy in her statehood trials She may deem herself alone and friendless and attimes it has seemed that she is bowling her howl alone, says the Albuquerque Journal, but a friend has turned up in the Wash ington Post, who is not to be de- spised. Under the title, Arizona and Her Howl" the Post of last Tuesday pays the following tribute at the shrine of Arizona's mighty sorrow:
 "Our heart goes out to Arizona, the sunburnt Cinderella of the states. She is ahowI from the Dra- goons to the Mogollons, and we sympathize with every yelp. Ari- zona has clung long and tenacious ly to the ragged edge between state sovereignty and territorial vassal- age. She has sickened with de- ferred hope at the close of every session of congress for To! these many years, only to bob up at the beginning at each new session with the smile that won't come off. Ex- pectant statesmen who in the early 'S0s strutted in imaginary togas have gone to their fathers. New men, with their carpetbags bearing the tags of outworn eastern fields, displaced the ancient "Hassayam- pers." They, too, became sum- burned, battered and obsolete. The sun carved the crests of the storied hills against the sky, the sand storm scowled and the mirage smiled upon the basking Gila mon- ster, but statehood fingered and came not.
 "Imagine the stinging insult, then, when the senate not only de- nied her statehood, while giving it to her duskier sister on the east, but sliced off portion of her terri tory and gave it to Utah! Arizona set up howl that swept across her deserts like the yelp of coyote. Yuma groaned, Tombstone squeaked and gibbered, the Chimehueyas smoked and skipped like rams, and the air of the Papagueria was full of imprecations. Throughout the territory volcanic speeches were emitted by yearning statesmen, burning in the effigy of eloquence the senators who had mutilated the daughter of the Toltecs. Every where was heard the instant re- sponse of embittered citizens, their trigger-fngers working in unison in volley of objurgations. It was Arizona's time to howl.
 "But we warn the skulking foes of Arizona that her day will come. Let her be jeered at now, and be called the bronco of the band; let tests and heartless indifference be her portion for awhile; yet, as sure- ly as the sun scorches the bald peak of Bill Williams, Arizona will take her place in the sisterhood. We follow her zigzag fortunes with breathless sympathy, and long for the time when her senators, full fedged, shall stalk down the aisle of the United States senate, and in the sizzling Arizonan vein shrivel her detractors into the semblance of thirty cents."
