reasonably safe when there is no har-

AS BETWEEN ROCKEFELLER AND LONG.

John D. Rockefeller ard John D.
over the Pilgrim Fathers. In his most
recent Sunday school address Mr..
Rockefeller attributed the growth and
greatness and piety of this country to
the few Puritan fathers who first set
tied here. 1T was this spirit of the
r Pilgrims-this love of truth, respect for
1t, the desire for right living-which
laid, the massive foundation Ct the
United States" acclaimed Mr.. Rookie
ginning of what it was; we should
keep it as it was intended"
Now comes Mr.. Long to the very
landing place of the Purstans and in
am address on The Pilgrim Fathers"
4 delivered at Plymouth, Mass, says.
The saints in Plymouth colony can
be counted on the fingers. Some of the
very elect were false to their trust and
used their positions to feather their
own nests-falser to their trusts than
\
company. Within the first decade So
cial vices infested the community:
drunkenness, pickering. SANDER licen-
tiousness and even crimes against ma
ture were common. All this took place
in community of very limited num-
bers. No New England village of to-
day need fear comparison with the ear
sly Plymouth colony.
n Mr.. Long told the truth, but after all,
Mr.. Rockefeller told moss truth. In a
spurtanical community, where outward
observance af rell- on stands first and
men are judged as much from profess
sion as by character, there will be
many hypocrites. Hypocrisy is the
: spawn of intolerance. The Puritans
were not all pure, and among the Pill
grim Fathers many We're stepfathers.
But Mr.. Rockefeller has vast advan-
stage over the former secretary of the
navy in the eternal verify that truth
prevails and the work OF true men
lives and fiounshes forever, while the
liar and hypocrite dies irl day and is
forgotten. There We're great men
among the Puritans, the sifted seed for
the planting Of a mighty people, and
their principles endure. If there were
grafters and thieves ami degenerates,
Eithey are buried beneath 800 years of
the survival of that sincerity that chung
to the bleak shore of Massachusetts
Z like limpet to the rock, and spread
itself across the continent.
Despite its intolerance, the best
thought of New England has always
been honest It has sought truth and
respected 1t, and when the ice current
OF puritan intolerance met and clashed
and finally mingled with the gulf
stream Of the cavalier. it set the tenn
perature of citizenship.
i Neither Mr.. Long nor Mr.. Rockefel-
Ter has told anything new. Mr.. Long
has illustrated anew the truth that
human frailty is as old as Cain. Mr..
Rockefeller that human virtue endures
and is immutable. AS between the two
Mr.. Rockefeller has the best Of it.

lCedar Rapids Gazette.]
What doth 1t profit a man to dig and
save. and amass wealth for two or
three score years, only to have his heirs
scrap over it after he has passed away?
1t would be better for the rich, especi-
ally those who have reached the age
allotted to man, to give away all their
wealth to charitable institutions, except
enough to keep them comfortably few
years Then there would be little oc-
casion for relatives to fight over the
Wills of deceased milionaires. The
death of the Hon. George Wells is d
case in point. The Grundy county
millionaire who died last week. left a
large estate. which he had acquired
thru long years of toll and shreWd
business methods He leaves no di-
rect heirs, and now either relatives.
who probably did not help him earn
one cent of his Large fortune, will prob
ably engage in long and bitter fight
over the disposition of his wealth.
Feuds will be engendered the lawyers
will get a fat thing out of the strife,
and possibly in a few years all the
money left by the millionaire will be
dissipated Many of the beneficiaries
of rich men would be better off with
out such requests. They do not know
how to take care of money so easily
acquired, and they become detri-
ment to business and society rather
than help. The men and women who
work out their own salvation in the
world of industry are the ones who
more greatly berefit the world and
who get more benefit from the world.

THE CAPITAL AND THE WHISKY PLANK.

The Des Moines Capital, commenting
on the democratic platform adopted at
Waterloo, says:
s. The platform is notable for its en-
tire lack of reference to The liquor is
4 sue. The omission is a testimonial to
good Judgment. The status of the sa-
loon issue is doubtless settled in Iowa
for a good while to come 1t only re-
mains for all parties to join hands in
i promoting temperance sentiment rath-
er than generating strife oyer details Of
legislation.
But what does the platform say and
what does it mean? Here is the plank:
We favor the enactment Of such laws
as shall give to all manufacturers and
jobbers in Iowa the same rights to
ship their products ana goods to all
points in Iowa as are now given by the
4 Interstate commerce law to manufac-
turers or jobbers in similar products
or goods in other states.
This plank quietly i.lnocuous as 1t
appears on the face of it. is one forced
by the liquor interests and means a
free hand for the whisky peddler and
mail order liquor house. One of tho
scandals Of Iowa is the farm to- farm
whisky peddler who has afflicted the
state under the protecting wing Of in
terstate commerce. Another is the
C. o. D. traffic that has turned the
smaller express offices Of the state in
to gallon houses and made the streets
Of many small town the scene of
Iowa liquor dealers certain privileges
OF sale and shipment that the inter-
state commerce law forces on the state
for outside dealers. The apparently
simple plank printed above is intended
to open every country road and small
town in the state to the Iowa whisky
vendor. What other commodity is out
lawed in Iowa?
The liquor interests were on hand at
waterloo to protect themselves. There
we're resolutions written and urged
openly favoring the liquor traffic. 1t
required all the eloquence and influ-
ence of Jerry Sullivan and Jim Weaver
to keep an aggressive liquor plank out
of the resolutions. Stin, something had
to be done to satisfy the large element
OF the democrats who favor wide-
open liquor policy for the state and to
hold the saloon interests to campaign
contributions. The above plank was
the result of much delit,eration 1t was
argued that it opened the counties of

THE INFLUENCE OF A BOOK.

No book was ever more quickly pro- ductive of results and reform than Upton Sinclairs The Jungle" describ- ing the horrors of the packing houses. Dickens Nicholas Nickleby" was the death of the objectionable private schools of England. "Jarndyce vs. Jarndyce" made chancery litigation less interminable. The results. how ever. followed slowly. But from the instant The Jungle" began to be read there was a popular demand to know how much of a basis of fact it had.
 To The Jungle" may be directly traced the Nein- Reynolds investiga- tion. Without that investigation it would have been impossible to secure any sort of adequate inspection legis- lation. The influence of the beef trust previous to the submission of the report could be seen at work baking every effort to enact any legislation which could possibly embarrass the packers. The report, though, changed the whole face of af- fairs. What the packers were seeking to avoid they now demanded for their own protection. Hence the amendment adopted by the house yesterday as a part of the agricultural bill. It will

PHoESIX, ARIZONA, JUNE 20. 1906,
s1pL1NG TOWARDS THE FENCE.

We have been observing with anus ed interest the cautious sidling or one or two small and insignificant news papers toward the joint statehood fence. The first thing we know they will be sitting astride it and the next thing they will be on the other side shouting for joint statehood.
 That will make no difference. They can do Arizona no more harm on one side than the other and they can be of no assistance on either side.
 They have been merely waiting to see the light As soon as the per suasion or the pressure is applied they will find their proper position on the statehood question. Their ultimate, as well as their past or present positions with reference to statehood are of no importance whatever. We mention the matter now in order that when these small and utterly uninfluential journals are at last arrayed against Arizona, their final settling down may not be regarded as significant defection. It will mean nothing at all beyond that they have seen a light which they were looking for earlier in the struggle.
 There are three Arizona newspapers which from the very outset were ad- vocates of jointure. They were plain and above aboard about it. They had a right to their views and a right to express them. They may have gained the i'll we'll of their neighbors, but they did not necessarily sacrifice their re- spect.
 The other newspapers of Arizona, with the exception of the one or two have been equally plain and above board on the side of the territory. They have regarded jointure as a peril and the leaders of the movement as con- spirators against our interests.
 They have denounced the fraud and treachery of every man, regardless of his politics, or his position, who has sought to force joint statehood upon us and they have recognized as a pa triot every man, regardless of his pol itics, who has endeavored to turn the peril aside. The motto of the great bulk of our newspapers has been "All for Arizona; secure the safety of the territory first; then We will settle our local political differences"
 The one or two small journals which have been siding toward joint state hood have been speaking half hearted ly against it; and at the same time have been covertly attacking the meth ods Of the champions of Arizona. Also at the same time, they have been ex- cusing and apologizing for our most active and most dangerous enemies.
 While pretending to oppose jointure they have been steadily looking fol the light" and have constantly beer in prayerful expectation of pressure. Il will come and then when they have gone the jointists will not have beer enriched a tittle and we will not have been impoverished in the slightest de. gree. The Arizona sentiment agains jointure will be as overwhelming a: ever.

OFFICE BOYS IN WALL STREET

As the pages in the senate some times hold an extra session all by themselves, so the office boys in Wall street conduct a lively market at times after the brokers have gone home. They call up a number at ran dom, it is answered by another office, and a conversation something like the following ensues:
 Hello! This is MT. Jones of Biff, Bang & Bung's. Kindly buy me 14 billion shares of Amalgamated Copper immediately"
 "All right. This is MT. Smith of Hop, Skip & Jump. But We will need more margin for that Kindly send us a certified check for one billion dol lars"
 A wordy argument ensues, and the office boys finally hang up their phones and go home content with the days transactions.-New York Sun.

CHINESE REFUGEES.
Tucson's Chinatown Has Doubled Tn
 Population.

Tucson is coming to be known as a Mecca for San Francisco Chinese refugees. So rapidly have the Chinks been coming here that they have so augmented the Chinese population that there are now two Chinatowns in Tucson. One is located on Pearl street and the other is on Court street just west of Church Plaza.
 There are at present at least 400 Chinamen in the city. The Frisco Chink refugees now here number ninety. and more are arriving daily. Each new queued gentleman with the sallow complexion and the olive eyes hikes pronto to the immigration of flee and shows Captain George Webb or one of the inspectors his passports which entitle him to remain in this country.-CitiZen.

Now that it is brought to our atten- ton, the provision of the original meat inspection measure allowing the secre- tary of agriculture to impose poll-taX on live stock in his discretion did rather run against the constitution. Beside, congress could not have full confidence in the discretion of the sec retary, who has just now diverted to one purpose an appropriation which congress had ordered for another.
