FIFTY REMAIN LOYAL
TO COMMERCIAL CLUB
NEGOTIATIONS MAY REVIVE THE
DROPPING ORGANIZATION
Messrs. Houehton and GreenewaId
Said to Be 0iokerlns for What ls
Left, the Lease Being a Valuable
Asset

After q comparatively brief but stormy
career the Commercial club, organized
originally as the Occidental, has gone
out of existence. On its ruins may be
erected Democratic club to be run by
and in the interest, political if not
otherwise, of doc" Houghton.
Al Greenewald is also negotiating for
the remains of the defunct social body
and If his efforts are successful IL is
said that he will start q club whose
objects Will not be Of an entirely So
cial nature.
The affair rests entirely in the hands
of the board of trade, where 1t was
placed by the clubs board of directors
after every effort had been made to
weather the financial storm by which
the club has been tossed for some time.
The purchaser of the fixtures and
lease Will be the one who makes the
best offer. 1t is said that both Hough-
ton and Greenewald are anxious to se-
cure possession of the quarters, which
are those long occupied by the Jonathan
club previous to its removal to its
present home in the Pacific Electric
building. The lease has eighteen
months yet to run, and 1t is considered
a valuable asset.
The Commercial club has an indebt-
edness of about $4,000, with assets, in
cluding dues, amounting to approx
mately $500. The State Bank and
Trust company and the Mackie-Fred-
ericks company are the principal credit
ors. The bank holds note for $4,000,
while the Mackie-Fredericks company
has chattel mortgage on the furnish
ings for about $110O. The rest of the
liabilities are divided among grocers,
cigar merchants and liquor dealers.
The club was organized about two
years ago and c. Cooley was the lead
ing spirit. At the start the organza-
tion became indebted to the extent of
about $6500. For several months its
financial affairs have been growing
worse and its membership declined un-
til only about fifty men remained loyal
to the last.

THE ROOT DOCTRINE.

The Monroe doctrine has been a very
useful article Of belief on this side of
the water, but there is a possibility
that it has served its purpose and is
TO be superseded by another which we
may call the Root doctrine. which will
be still more beneficial to people of the
western hemisphere than the Monroe
doctrine has ever been. The latter has
secured US against European terrific
rial aggression. but it did not prevent
European nations from acquiring what
was equally valuable to them and
more damaging to us-commerciai
supremacy in the South American
countries. Many causes were contrib
utory to their success in establishing
themselves in almost sole commercial
sovereignty under the very nose of
Uncle Sam. One of the chief causes was
their training of centuries in colonial
commercialism, and another was the
jealousy with which the Latin Amer
leans grew to regard their Anglo Saxon
neighbors on the north.
We have been learning commercial
ism lately and We have been slowly
making Roadway into the Latin Amer
lean trade by means of the better bar
gains we had to offer. There still re-
manned the old prejudice against the
United States which prevented that
friendly intercourse so necessary to
intimate commercial relations.
At one stroke Secretary Root has
broken it down and paved the way for
trade treaties which promise in time
to exclude European merchants from
South and Central Americas almost
as rigidly as the Monroe doctrine ex-
cludes European governments from
western soil.
The result of the secretary's late
tour is being made manifest in the

A SHORT CUT To PROTECTION.

a SHORT CUT To PROTECTION.
Fifteen thousand dollars worth of
property was destroyed in an hour yes
terday. But for a series of unusual oc-
currences. practically all of this might
have been saved, and but for one Of
them. which is SO frequent that it can
hardly be said to be unusual at least
$4,000 might have been saved-there
was an absence of water pressure.
This has been so in the cases Of most
of the fires which have visited Phoenix
within the last few years.
We can hardly blame the company
for allowing such a condition to exist.
Threatened with ruinous municipal
opposition, it would hardly have been a
good business policy to spend the large
cum necessary to keep its mains in
such shape as to enable them to with
stand a constant. strong pressure.
II has therefore been the practice Of
the company to withhold the pressure
until demand was made by fire, when
water was pumped directly into the
mains, the pressure upon them being
relieved by the fire engine. This was
a precious time-consuming practice,
and turned out yesterday to be a dan
gerous and expensive one.
Il is now certain that the city will
take over the water works, but in the
regular course there VIII be consider
able delay. In the mean time. there
may be other fires.
The city has it in its power We think,
to eliminate the delay. Doubtless it
could put itself in possession of the
water works at once and begin making
the necessary improvements.
Instead of waiting until congress
shall authorize the proceeds of the sale
of the water works bonds to be ap-
piled to the purchase of plant instead
of the building Of a plant, the council
could doubtless make an arrangement
with General Sherman by which the
business men of Phoenix would guar
antee the payment which has been
agreed upon for it.
The guarantors would be involved
in no possible risk. for there is not the
slightest doubt that congress will
act in that matter as soon as it is
presented. Then there is that obstruct-
ing Cincinnati litigation which we
think is still pending but which all par
ties to it now desire to dismiss.
There would probably be no trouble
at all in finding guarantors entirely
satisfactory to General Sherman. \
delay of a month or two in acquiring
possession OF the water works and
making the necessary improvements.
might easily result in losses which
would aggregate as much as the cost
of the plant.
