Now, then, 1t is a fair question to ask how many more of that kind of tax receipts are out for personal prop erty taxes that were not returned, during the Turner administration Without the stubs there is no answering that question. But why was not Turner compelled to pro- duce the stubs?

AMONG the canons of civilized q life is one rule that is usually ob- served among gentlemen. And that is to keep politics out of re- ligion, and to keep both religion and politics out from social gath erings. With regret it Is here noted that not only was one of the Fl Paso visitors guilty of a grave breach of one of the heads of that rule, at the social entertainment given in the Montezuma Wednes- day evening, by lugging into his remarks allusion to the statehood issue now before the people of Ari- zona, but two of our own citizens Judge Hayes and Judge O'Con- nor) were both guilty of the same breach of social decorum. As said  so aptly by that great and wise, Hebrew prince, "there is time for all things" and social gathering like that at the Montezuma hotel Wednesday evening, supplies nei- ther the time nor the place for po- litical or religious disquisitions. One of the El Paso visitors had sufficient wit and judgment to apologize for the offence of his fel- low excursionist; but of all the gen. tlemen of Nogales present there were none with sufficient knowl- edge of the canons of good breed ing to call down their own offend ors.

dciols put into office by the people of sunto Cruz county two years ago have proved more busiuesslike and more effective Chan hove any of their democratic predecessors. When the last democratic admin. istrati0n of affairs iu Santa Cruz county went out of office there re- mained upon the tax rolls about forty thousand dollars of uncol- lected delinquent taxes, going back to the beginning of the county. It was not good business practice to let those back taxes accumulate The republican treasurer and sher- if elected two years ago Gin their respective capacities as tax collector and assessor have cleaned off from the books all of these delinquencies, and put into the treasury about thirty thousand dollars that for mer officials had permitted to es- cape. The republican assessor has nearly trebled over that of his pre- decessor the collection of personal property taxes. These good works have reduced taxation, increased the school term, and have made the foundations better for their successors to go along and do busi- ness correctly. Taxpayers should remember this record, and make the entire administration republi' can. Local affairs are of the most importance. Vote for the republi- can county ticket, and put into the county offices men who recognize that fact, and conduct their offices accordingly.

WITH their usual bad luck in their effort to present issues the democrats of Santa Cruz county oppose the taxation of unpatented mines. That Is one of their plat form declarations. They would let such valuable properties as the
 Worlds Fair mine go scot free from taxation. May be they didn't mean what they said. Perhaps they meant to say unprcductive mines. There would be a wide difference between such a declara- ration and the one they have made.

Santa Cruz county taxpayers should not forget that the burden Df taxation is to cover the expense of county government. While the taxgatherer takes from the pockets aHd coffers of the people about four
 per cent of the assessed values of the property listed, more than Ghree per cent of the amount is to cover county expenses. And it is In the collection and disbursement Of that large proportion that can be manifested the most business prAdence and the best judgment. la those directions it is the claim of HE OASIS that the republican of

CHICAGO, July 13.-A vegetarian
diet coupled with regular habits and
Chicagos climate has produced a

ster, 52S Washington boulevard. In
the recent examination for policemen
Liebecke obtained the extraordinary
mark of 100 in all but one of the
physical tests and in this one he re-
ceived a mark of 9S per cent.
Liebecke declares his perfect condi-
tion is due to vegetarian diet. regu-
lar habits and hard physical labor. He
drives a heavy four-horse truck for a
dairy and works at night. He works
from eight to ten hours seven nights
a week.
This work has so developed his mus
cles that in the examination with his
upper arm he raised two ten-pound
dumbbells with ease. good average
in this test is considered a six and
seven-pound dumbbell.

WILL NOT ACCEPT
THE PREMIERSHIP
EMPEROR'S OFFER REFUSED
BY SHIP0FF
Prominent Constitutional Democrats
Predict That the Responsible Po-
sition Will Be Offered to

Sy Associated Press.

BY ASSOCIATED Press.
ST. PETERSBURG, July 13.-The As
sociated Press learns from reliable
source that Emperor Nicholas has Of
fered the premiership to Dmitri Shipof,
but that the latter refused the post on
the ground that he is not member of
the majority party in parliament and
that the only possible cabinet in the
present crisis is one composed of Con-
stitutional Democrats. He holds, there
fore, that he cannot even be a .memper
of such a cabinet.
Prominent Constitutional Democrats
think the premiership will now be Of
fered to Count Heydon, who, though he
has the sympathy of parliament, VIII
be unable to form a cabinet, although
scheduled for place in the coming
Constitutional Democratic ministry.
The postponement of the visit of the
British channel fleet to Cronstadt has
caused much hilarity among the moder-
ates, who look upon it as sign that
the government has at last awakened to
it's position and is ready to accept the
inevitable. Conservatives, on the other
hand, look upon it as another victory
for the moderates, which soon will be
followed by a Constitutional Democratic
ministry.

BANTAM ON ROCKER DOUBLES
Motion Of Chair Brings Sleep and
Hen Forgets Laying the First
Egg-Owner Delighted
Special 10 The Herald.


JOANNA, Pa, July 13.-If the farm
ers of Berks county will comence breed
ing bantam hens and teach them to lay
eggs on rocking chairs, the egg trust
and the % cents per dozen price will
soon be ended.
William C. Whitman, farmer of
near here, has a small sized bantam,
which he never believed would gain
distinction in the egg line until about
Bantam had confined herself to an oc-
casional cackle and an understood ad-
dition to the market basket.
Three weeks ago when Whitman had
little to do about the farm, he turned
his attention to his chickens. He found
that all of the nests were occupied by
laying hens, and he went to the barn,
Here he found his pet bantam asleep in
an old rocking chair, so cleverly bal
anced as to rock with the breeze from
the door. When he awoke her he was
surprised to find two eggs on the old
cane seat.
The next day Whitman applied a
and after balancing the old rocker on
two small, smooth wire nails watched
for the pet bantam. Whitman saw her
mount the chair and lay an egg.
The rolling of the egg set the chair
in motion, and minute later the ban
tam was asleep. Then she was awak-
ened, and, evidently forgetting that she
had already laid an egg, laid another.
Since that day the bantam has daily
evinced a liking for the delusion. for
she daily mounts the rocker lays an
egg, sleeps exactly ten minutes, awak-
ems and lays a second egg, and then
departs with proud cackle.
Whitman says the bantam has not
prompted the other hens to follow suit,
as they still deposit only a few eggs
per week.

money for a dress. but right at this
point the prospective mother-in-law

taken before Magistrate William ].

she died he got $50. 1 didn't know that
he stole the money. If 1 had 1 would
