ABOUT THE IDEAL ROMEO.
London Critic Believes Only an Italian
Could Play It.

Mr.. Max Beerbohm suffers us to
have no Illusions. says the Ladies Pic

no one has ever seen Romeo and
Juliet" properly acted. and for this
reason. that there is no actor or
actress VINO could express the first
awakening OF love in adolescence.
which was what Shakespeare intended
TO present in this beautiful love TRACE
DIV. No young Englishman has the
power to do so. while the mature man
who has the power only shows us
mature love. The consequence is, he
saws. that the ideal Romeo will never
be seen unless he is young Italian
actor who can speak English perfectly.
One cannot help seeing the force OF
this argument but as we cannot get
what he suggests, we must obviously
make up our minds whether we VIII
he content with the representation OF
matured love, or whether we will do
without technique and get quite young
people to play for us. Most playgoers,
one fancies. will prefer the imitation
of loves young dream by actors who

and one Sabbath the boy surprised
her by leaving her side and walking
OFF with Primus Edes. When repri.
manded by his mother he only said:
oh, | know him. I've seen him

One day Perley did not return as
usual from school. and for some time
hts mother was not alarmed. as she
supposed he had called to see his
friend Edes, but by six O'Clock Mrs.
Hamilton experienced sudden thrill
of fear that he had not returned.
She went to the mill at once and to
her uncle's Office, but he had not seen
Perley.
Where does Mr.. Edes work. the one
who boards at Mrs. Fry's? Perley may

spoken to him. she thought, for all this
wild questioning of her heart and of

"Oh, if he should have fallen into

NO but I will find him." he said,

surprise. Well. | hope you can get
him home before nightfall. He may

Inquiries were made through the vii
lage, but no trace. of the little fellow
could be found. Nothing had been
seen CT him since he stood in the yard
at the close of school; but one little
girl protested to have heard him say
he was going after beechnuts. With
this clue a company of men and boys
at nightfall started to scour the woods
with lanterns and torches. Constance,
nearly frenzied by this tine. sat with
tightly clenched hands. listening for
any sound she might hear from the
direction of the woods. Glare had
cried herself to sleep on the sofa, and
Mr.. Carter walked nervously about the

IAsizCNANs FOR

Arizonans are again proving them selves to be lovers of right, justice and the square deal" This fact has been demonstrated quite recently in Douglas and Prescott. It has been made plain that the people of this ter ritory, regardless of politics, will not approve of hitting below the belt in political contests. Arizonans will scrap to beat the band during the campaign, but they may always be depended upon to demand that t''c man who wins in political contest shall have his victory and the fruits thereof Tn Douglas there was an election contest inaugurated because the election board took the ballot box from the voting booth to a restaurant half block away. where the judges and clerks went to get their meals

CALIFORNIA AND THE JAPANESE.

Was Secretary of ctate Root think ing of California and the Japanese question when he said in his address, before the Pennsylvania society of New York, that mo state can live un- to itself alone and regulate its affairs with sole reference to its own treas ury, its own convenience, and its own special interests?"
 Every state" the secretary tells us, ''is bound to frame its legislation and its administration with reference not only to it's own special affairs. but with reference to the effect upon all its sister states"
 If these maxims of political conduct were intended to apply to the course of California with respect to the edu- cation of Japanese in separate schools says the Washington Herald. We think they ignore a very important element in the relations of the federal and the state governments, namely. the guardianship of the former over the latter. There are federal obligations as well as state rights. From this point of view MT. Roots maxims might be reversed with equal, and We are inclined to think, juster applica- bility to the California situation. Sup pose Mir Root had said that the fed eral government had no right to con duct it's foreign affairs without refer ence to the interests of particular states, and that no secretary of state had any business negotiating treaty which ignored the constitutional dis tribution of power between the fed eral government and the states, would he not have come nearer to an accu- rate statement of the rule which should govern our national course of action? In other words, have not the states as much right to ask that their special interests be regarded by the national government as the national government has to demand that the national interests be regarded by the states?
 In this Japanese affair, the admin istration has seen fit to champion the cause of foreign country as against the legislation of one of the states of the union-legislatioK that is not in itself injurious to any American inter- est or repugnant to any principle of our American institutions. If MT. Roots theory as to the duties of the states were accepted by California, Sshe would regulate her educational af- fairs, not with regard to her own in- terests, but in accordance with the views of the secretary of state, who thinks the interpretation of an am piguous treaty in such way as to placate the susceptibilities of for seign nation of more importance to the national welfare than the preservation {; of our domestic institutions and the
 sustenation of domestic legislation in.
 tended to promote public morals We do not think this conception of
 the functions of the secretary of state
 defensible or constitutional. Cannot
 our foreign relations be maintained without subverting the structure oi
 our government?

The Phoenix Gazette is pleased to term as ridiculous the fact that one of the attorneys of the big mining companies of Arizona has been re quested to draw . form of a bullion tax bill for the consideration of the incoming legislature. If any bill Is introduced in the next legislature having for its purpose the bullion tax method of taxing the producing mines of Arizona, we presume that some at torney will draw the bill. In the pas the lawyers have framed most of the bills that have been introduced by members of the legislature upon any subject. 1t matters little who draws the bullion tax bill. It remains for members of the legislature 10 fix the amount oe the tax. The mere fact that an attorney for mining compa- ny writes the bill. does not mean that 1t is incumbent upon the legislature to gulp it down whole. The trouble WAln tue kOCAAA odZSlSC 10 tAdb that paper is not in favor of any bullion tax law. It prefers to leave the assess ing power of mines in the hands of the governor of this territory. It is evident that the present method prac- ticed by this Republican governor and his members of the Territorial Board is not productive of results. We have bad a great deal of talk. both by wo.d of mouth and through the administration organ. but as vet the county or territorial treasury has not been enriched as result of the efforts of the Territorial Board of Equalization with reference to the taxation of mines. A bullion tax Jaw would be a method that would in sure results and there could be no appeal.

The Phoenix Gazette takes pleasure from timeuo time in pointing out the Copper Queen Consolidated Mining company as horrible example of how the big mining companies of Arizona are escaping their just proportion of the burden of taxation. Did the Ga zette know that the Copper Queen Mining company is paying more taxes iu proportion to the production of cop per. than any other mining company in the territory. We are charitable enough to allow for the Gazette's ignorance. This mathematical fac, would take away it's pet hobby Where ignorance is bliss it is folly tc be wise.

AS TO THE PRICE OF COPPER.

Commenting on szL price of copper Hayden, Stone & Co, brokers of New York say:
 "The action this week of the United Metals Selling Company in advancing the price of electrplytic copper to g IT cents has induced a number of people to ask us how long in our opin- ion present conditions will continue in the copper metal market. It would of course, be absurd to attempt any definite prediction. but there are one or two factors in the situation which may be worth noting.
 "In spite of the excessive demand for the metal. Arizona is the only cop reproducing State or Territory whose output for 1906 will show ma teriaI gain over 1905. The increase here will be roughly 50,000.oo0. Since last August the monthly output of the Butte camp has fallen off from 5, 0o0,0 900 to 26,000, 900. Michigan will have actually less copper for sale this year than last. Tn short. the outYu' | of the country at large will show : gain of not over per cent.
 The present ex,cessiye industrial activity not only stimulates an un wonted demand for the meta. but i actually tends to a curta;Iment sf out put. as it makes 1t impossible for ;hs mining companies to procure an ad equate supply of men and s1ppiiss.

fused to do so or to have anything to do with it, according to his own state ment. It is known that Chairman Kirk's action is approved by many re- publicans in Douglas who believe that Ben Rice was fairly elected to the of flee of justice of the peace and should not be put to the expense of defending in a contest case which is based en- tirely on a failure of the election board to follow the strict letter of the law from the time of the opening of the polls to the finishing of the count. In the contest in Yavapai county the democratic candidate for district at torney sets up the plea that the board of supervisors failed to designate the place where the voting should be done in one of the precincts. This ground is just as tenable as the reasons given for the contest in Douglas. In Pres cott the democrats have given it out that they are not responsible for the fool contest instituted by the defeated democratic candidate for district at torney. These two after-election in cidents go to prove that Arizonans. regardless of politics. are always ready to stand for "the square deal" The failure of the board of supervis- ors to designate a voting place in Prescott was no fault of Hon. R. E.
 Morrison, who was elected district attorney of Yavapai county. and the democrats of Yavapai will not ap. prove of the contest there on such sil. ly grounds. The fact that the Doug las election board in Douglas took the ballot box to restaurant, half block away, while they ate morsel, was no fault of Ben Rice, who was elected justice of the peace: why should he suffer because someone else failed to perform their duty in holding the election. @

WORKING CONNECTS ON PUBLIC ROADS

That money spent on public roads is money well spent is admitted by every Intelligent man, but when good roads can be secured at practically no cost it seems foolish that the territory does not accept the gift. As the mater now sands Arizona is paying goodly sum annually for the maintenance of its convicts. These convicts are a dead weight upon the territory. They are eh,Btspp the closed cells of the ex- E .55rot building at Yuma. and, it is saio. that the terrific heat of the summers causes diseases that finally result in the death of these men, It is not the purpose of the territory of Arizona to slaughter men who are sent to the penitentiary. They are sent there to be punished. not killed. for the crimes they commit, and meas ures that viil give these men fresh air and plenty of it during the sum- mer and at the same time make them useful would be welcomed by the con yicts and the people. At the same time it would not be right to carry them into competition with the paid laborers of the country. The only way to do this is by working them on the public roads. Each taxpayer is going down into his pockets and dig ging up five dollars year for public roads and is also helping keep up the penitenitary. By working these men on the pubIc roads a portion of this tax would be topped off-That the plan is successful has been demonstrated by New Mexico. where the conviets are given road work to do.
