The Federation in Favor of Becoming
 Political Power.

Minneapolis Minn., Nov. 16.-There was only a short session today of the American Federation of Labor conven- ton now being held in this city. ad- journment being taken at 10:3O this a. m. until tomorrow in order that the va rious committees may be given a chance to perfect their reports which must be done before business can be resumed.
 That the convention is anxious to go on record in regard to MT. Gompers' idea of politics was evinced today by the effort of Gerry Brown of Brocton. Mass. to have the convention resolve itself into a committee of the whole for the sole purpose of discussing the political situation.
 The papers of the country" said Mir. Brown, are slurring our honored president because of his course in the recent campaign and it is high time the delegates go on record as favoring that course" Vice President James Duncan said politics ought never be made anything but protection for the Federation Of Labor.

abomination. Even program" is slip shod and an evidence of both laziness and perverted taste, though The Re publican must plead guilty to the use of it, a sin entered upon long ago.
 There are two camps on this question and scholars in both camps; but the accepted forms of spelling are so vital that the masses of ordinary educated people have no patience with the pure ly artificial and faddish mos ement which proposes to tear worGs up by their roots and force the English speaking world into a jungle of new and offensive forms. The language is no longer the Kings or the Queens English. Neither is it the English of a lot of doctrinaires financed by a somewhat priggish multi-millionaire, the importance of whose utterances on this question is due mostly to his wealth. It is the peoples English. and the people are not showing any desire to follow the example or teachings of the simplifiers.

SENATOR PLATT.

Senator Platt. according to the dis patches of yesterday. has decided to bring his long political life to a close It has been stormy and eventful as well as long. It does not end as bril- liantly as we wish it did. His cannot be said to be green political old age. On the contrary, it is sere and cheer less.
 The senator has committed many CT TOTS and he has done many things which the public moralist believes ought not to be done, but we believe that in doing them MT. Platt has been unselfish; that he was aiming at the aggraRdizement of a party or a fac tion rather than at his own. He has occupied the useful, but dangerous po- sition of boss. That is an office which gives little promise of political longev- ity and few men have survived after they have been deposed. There have always been bosses and there always will be. In one guise a boss may be- come hateful, but another will rise in another guise and under the pretense of reform he will be no less tyranni- cal
 Some have accused Senator Platt of corruption. Corruption is a word more often loosely or ignorantly used, than used arigbt. It is used with a fre- quency 1nd freedom by a certain class of cheap magazine writers until it is almost divested of meaning. In their employment of it it seems to describe the public conduct of a man whose public views do not secure their ap- proval
 We do not believe that sober. think ing people will accuse Senator Platt of corruption. His long Service in the senate was devoted largely to opposing rather than to supporting legislation. and time has shown that his opposition was generally right; the country has generally been benefited by it.
 A senate composed of men antithet- ical to Senator Platt would no longer be the balance wheel of tine government to restrain within proper bounds the energy of the populace and which the house is apt to fail to control and di- rect to some really useful purpose.
 Altogether, we believe Mir. Platt has been a very good senator. far above the average in ability and usefulness to the republic.

SHAM SHOVEL ENGINEER
 HAD HIS OPPORTUNITY
To Let the President Know What Was the Real Trouble on the lsthmus of Panama.

Panama, Nox I6.-President Roose- welt. who stopped at the Tivoli hotel last night. started at o'clock this morning with Mrs. Roosevelt and oti.er ne'lh,rs of the party to make an examination of Culebra cut. The weather was overcast, threatening rain. At half past s the presidential train arrived at Pedro Miguel where the steam shovels are at work. The president had the train stopped for the purpose of making a personal examin- ation at this point in the cut where lpeculiar local conditions have resulted more or less frequently in land slides. President Roosevelt descended from the train, climbed upon the steam shovels, taking a seat alongside Engi- neer Gray. whom he subjected to a searching fire of questions regarding the work. During the conversation. Engineer Gray took opportunity on behalf of himself and the other engi- neers to declare that unlike railroad engineers they were not paid for over time. The president promised to look into this matter. He stayed on the steam shovel about twenty minutes.
 
 MT Roosevelt told Chief Engineer Stevens he wanted to see all the works in connection with the excavation even to the temporary laying of tracks With this end in view he boarded 2 work train and went on to the next point. where the steam shovels were at work. The presidential train con- tinued on the regular line toward Panama, but the president made de- tour to examine the site of the Pedro Miguel lock. He shook hands with all the Americans he met while walking over the ground.
 At about twenty-five minutes past 9 the president entered the deep DOT ton of the cut. his train going slowly in order that he might observe the workings of the drill machines and shOveis. one shovel was decorated with sign reading We will do our best to help you build it." The presi- dent spent some time in the deepest portion of the cut. where last Sunday twenty-twO tons of explosives were used to throw down 3O,cO0 cubic yards of material.
 The rain was now coming down in torrents. Several charges of dynamit ]. were exploded in order that the presi- dent might see the effect. after which he went back to his own train.

FASTEST TIME ON RICO R D
Q the Fair Commissioners.

To the Fair Commissioners,
 Phoenix, Arizona.
 Gentlemen: Replying to yours of the 12th inst. relative to the fastest time of record, you are informed that while in the past Other sections of the country have made fast time, we are confidently of the opinion that with two fast tracks of main line, the fact that the Tonto reservoir will be furnishing stored water within a year to the rich est soil known to the scientific agricul- tural authorities, the further well known fact that the climate Is superior in every respect to Italy's finest, the fastest time in advanced values ever known will be made in the Salt River Valley in the next six months.
 Now is the time to invest. and we are the mediums.

PHOENIX ARIZ.. NOV. r. 1906.
WE'RE ALMOST SORRY.

Strenuous as this week has been, made so by the territorial fair. we are almost sorry it is drawing to close. If it has been a busy week, entailing unusual labors, it has been pleasant one. There is a natural regret that I year must elapse before so many good people as all these Arizonians are will be brought together again.
 In the meantime we trust that their desire to return will not lessen as we know our wish ,to welcome them will suffer no decline.
 We are all well acquainted now and in the past five days has been to our mutual advantage.
 Phoenix is naturally a great gainer in becoming the permanent location of the fair. We think though we would feel the same about it if the fair were located in Tucson. Prescott or in any Arizona town where the people of the whole territory could conveniently come together. But the geographica good fortune brings them all here. for which Phoenicians are properly thank full
 In the train of the fair come the civic, the secret. educational and relig- ious societies. official, trade and finan- cial organizations, so that this city be- comes the clearing house of the best thought of the best people in the terri tory. They bring good ideas and ex- change them for others equally as good and keep them both. Phoenix too, gets the advantage of all of them
 It may be a reckless and foolish wish but We were on the point of saying that we wish the legislature would change the next territorial fair bill by substituting for the word "annuaI7 the word ''semi-annuaI'' or better still. quarterly"
