Limiting Armamrnts.

Admiral Mahan believes that th. only remedy for the insensate rivalry of the maritime nations in building big and bigger battle ships, IS an international agree ment limiting the size of these floating batteries. One of the lessons wli this high author ity draws f om a study of the naval battles m the Japanese. Russian War is that it is futile to increase the size of battle ships with the hope that any nation can get and maintain the biggest. There is, he contends, no natural limit beyond which increase in size can be said to be impossible; and hence if one nation should construct a battle ship with displacement of 3O,- 900 tons, there is nothing to prevent rival from construct. ing one of40, 0,OOO.
 Admiral Mahan argues that

as the expense of a battleship in creases at a ratio in excess of the ratio of increase of tonnage, the nations are embarked in a rivalry that is simply suci dal, when each tries to overnatch the other. He therefore sug- gests an international agreement limiting the size of battleships.
 But if this be practicable as to the size of inividual ships, why is it not equally so as to the number of fighting ships? A resolution looking in this direc- ton has recently passed the British house of commons with the approval of the government, The need of some such agree ment, so far as this country is concerned, was plainly brought out in the recent debate in the house over the naval appropria- tion bill providing for the ex- penditure of $1OO,OOO.OOO. Representative Tawnev, chair man of the committe on appro- priations, told the house and the country, "that we are spending 63% per cent of all our revenues, exclusive of the postal service, for war or in preparation for war" We have under construc- ton today, he said, thirty yes, sels of all classes, with a dis.

torney, justice of the peace, may or, county clerk and member of the territorial legislature. At times he engaged as a school teacher. In the Church, he pre- sided over the High Priests of Parowan and was a counselor to Stake Presidents John (. l.. Smith and William H. Dame sue cessively. He engaged actively in fighting Indians, and was prominent in all other move ments that engaged the atten- tion of the community in which he lived.
 Elder Smith performed two missions to Scandinavia, and on both occasions presided over the Church work in three countries then comprised in that mission The first of these missions kept him from home from Sept. 25, 1861, to Oct. 22, 1864, and Tn 1868 he again went to the same field of labor.
 After returning from the second trip abroad Mir. Smith engaged in stock raising and kindred pur- suits until called to preside over the eastern Arizona stake. In that locality the remaining days of his life were passed, and no man did more for the upbuilding of the Snowflake regiOn than did Jesse N. Smith. His labors ex- tended even into Mexico, and he was one of the men who made 1t possible for Mormon" colonies to be planted in the sister repub- lie. He served as a member of the Arizona legislature, being a member of the house during the nineteenth session.
 From the above brief resume it will be seen that the days of Jesse N. Smith were passed amid the trials and hardships and toll of pioneer ie, and he has gone to well earned rest.-Deseret Ev- ening News.

President Smith
 Passes away

Utah has been called rom eartn, this time Jesse Nathaniel Smith, for number of years past presi- dent of the Snowflake Stake of Zion. The veterans death Oc- cured Tuesday, June 5th, at B. AZ D. m., and the announcement came by wire to President Joseph F Smith from Joseph A. Smith, son of the deceased.
 In the demise of Elder Smith the Church has lost one of it's most faithful members and the community in which he lived IS deprived ofa staunch and true friend, q man who has been a pillar of strength to the settle ments of Arizona since the "Mormon" people first settled there. He was a thoroughly good, honest, and kind hearted man, whom to know was to love. He was man of strong character, as he was strong physically. He inspired faith confidence in the hearts of those with whom he came in contact. IT. times when mems souls are tried, when danger and troubles are imminent, oftentimes the very presence of some particular man brings feeling of safety and of conf fort. Such a man was Jesse N. smith. His strong personality lent strength to the weak, and alleviation to the dis tressed, and his death will be mourned by many who knew his worth.
 A son of Silas Smith and Mary Aikens, Jesse N. Smith was born Dec. ?, 1884, Tn Stockholm, St. Lawrence county, New York Silas Smith was brother of Joseph Smith, Sr., father of the Prophet Joseph and of Patriar, h Hyrum Smith, hence the man who died yesterday was a cousin to President Joseph F. Smith. The parents of the deceased became members of the Church established by their kins. man, and the boy Jesse witness ed tine stiling scenes through which his people passed, from the days of Kirtland to the time that he arrived with his widow ed mother in Salt Lake valley, Sept. 25, 1S47. He was 13 years of age when he reached the Rocky mountains, and from that day to the time of his death be labored with zeal and energy for the building up of the common wealth.
 In 1857 MT. Smith went to Parowan to reside, and the fol- lowing year he married Emma S. West. He took a prominent part in civic affairs in Parowan and in Iron county, filling at various t,mes the positions of district at

MRS. LITE MITCHELL DEAD.
Passed Away at Panama, Isthmus of
 Panama Saturday.

Dr. c. D. Dickerson of this city received a cablegram Sunday morning conveying the sad news of the death of Mrs. Lyte Mitchell, nee Armstead, wife of M. E.. Mitchell, at Panama, Isthmus of Panama. The cablegram was un- dated, but from its wording, Mrs. Mitchell's death is supposed to have occurred Saturday.
 The first news of Mrs. Mitch els illness was received here about a week ago, when Mir. Mitchell's mother, Mrs. Laura Mitchell, received a cablegram to, that effect. She left immediately, but learned ot Mrs. Lyte Mitchell's. death before sailing from New Or leans.
 Mrs. Mitchell was niece of Mrs. Fannie Farmer of thls city, with whom she made her home before her marriage, and of C. M. Armistead of Argenta. She was about 28 years of age. She leaves, one son, Armistead Mitchell.
 It is not known here whether the remains will be brought here, but the relatives believe that the in- terment will be at Panama.
 Mrs. Mitchell, with her hus- band and son, were here on a wis., it less than year ago, and at that time she seemed to be in the picture of health. The news of her death came as a severe shock to her rela- tives and many friends here, who sympathize deeply with the bereav- ed ones.

BANNER WEEK IN COTTON Record-Breaking Receipts Here
 Last Week. Over 1000 Bales Were Bought in This City During the Week Ending
 Tuesday Night.

The week ending Tuesday night was a record breaker, so far as Conway's cotton receipts are con cerned, and the same may doubt less be truthfully said of all other lines of business in this city. From Wednesday morning, Nov. 2I, to Tuesday night, Nov. 27, a total of 2o97 bales were bought and paid for by Conway merchants. The average price per bale was about S5o, thus indicating that over one hundred thousand dollars was paid for the staple in this city during the week.
 This is considerably the largest weeks cotton business in the his tory Of Conway. The largest week S receipts last year reached I6o5 bales, during the week ending Nov. !.
 Up to Tuesday night a total of I2, 36o bales had been received here, as compared with o2o6 last year, S283 in 1904 and SPAS in 1903.
 Every indication points to the fact that at least IS,ooo bales will be received here during the present season. This will not be due so much to an increased crop in the county as to the fact that large amount of cotton that has hitherto been going to other points is being brought to Conway this year.
 Friday Big Day.
 Last Friday was probably the big day of the year. On that day cotton from Conway, Van Buren, Searcy, Cleburne, White, Lonoke, Perry and Faulkner counties was sold on the streets in this city. An especially large amount iron, the western part of White county was in Conway, some being brought from within eight miles of Beebe Thirty-fve bales came from the Hammonsville neighborhood. The two banks paid out over S25 ,ooe for cotton Friday.
 Railroad Overtaxed.
 The unusually large receipts O cotton have completely lover. taxed the facilities for handling the sta p1e at the local rai1wav station Over thousand bales were placed on the platform and the ground nearby for shipment yesterday ane Tuesday, and, as there were nc box cars available. in order te move the cotton, it was loaded or flat cars and special train sen out to carry 1t to Little Rock This is the first cotton that oul people have seen loaded on oper flat cars in probably fifteen years

Possibly So.

Life would be one long sweet dream
if each of us only had the other fellows
job. The merchant has hard time; if
he had his life to live over he would
certainly be doctor. The doctor has
his troubles too numerous to mention
how did he ever come to go into such a
wearing business anyhow. The farmer
tolls hard and long, and worries with
drouths and floods and chinch bugs "a
farmers life is mighty hard life-he
made great mistake in not being a
lawyer-lawyers don't have to kill
themselves working! The lawyer grows
grey with his troubles-starves for ten
years as a starter, and has to fight
eternally in order to winnie sees now
how badly he missed it, he sees now
that there is no place like the farm
the farmers life is the one satisfactory
Independent life! The teacher works
and works and gets no credit for all he
does, and not half enough pay-why in
the world didn't he go into the news
paper business-the newspaper man
doesn't have much to do-most anybody
can write little-that's all a news
paper man has to do. And the news
paper maxwell as we remarked before
life would be one sweet dream if each
of us only had the other fellows job.
