quotation From Ritual.
I'm connection with the observance of
Memorial day the department commander
wishes to call particular attention to the
following paragraph of our ritual:
The duty of Memorial day Is oof i'm
pressive significance. We meet to honor
our dead and to deepen our reverence for
their worth; to strengthen among our
selves the bond of fraternity by recalling
the memory OF experiences common to
us all; to encourage n more generous
charity for our comrades who are sick
or in distress, and for the destitute wards
of the United Spanish War Veterans: to
renew our pledge of loyalty to our country
and our flag, and to emphasize in the
minds and hearts of all who may unite
with US the privilege and duty of patriot
ISM
Each year the duty of fittingly observ-
ing Memorial day should be impressed
more strongly upon US. We are, as
organization, growing older and stronger
each year, and therefore should be more
able TO attend properly TO the observance
of this solemn duty. 1t is with deep re-
greet that we note that the ranks of the
Grand Army, which has so long and con-
scientiously conducted the services at
Arlington and other cemeteries, are grow
ing thinner and it is now incumbent upon
us to do oour part in assisting it in the
services, which at some later period we
will have to take in charge.
MAY 80 United Spanish War Veterans
uniforms should be worn by all comrades
possessing them, while comrades not uni
formed should wear dark clothes and
white gloves.
"AIl comrades are earnestly urged to
attend both the memorial services at our
the ceremony at Arlington on Decoration
day."

Fifty American Railway Engineers
on the Minnesota.

The insular bureau of the War Depart
ment has been informed that no less than
fifty American railroad engineers are now
on board the Minnesota, which sailed from
Seattle April 20 on their way to the Philip
pines. They have been employed by ]. O..
White & Co. to construct railroads in the
Islands Of Cebu. Negros and Panay under
the contract or franchise entered into with
the Philippine commission a few months
ago. The roads to be built are in small sec
lions, aggregating about 300 miles in length,
and will open up to commerce an almost
virgin country. which had heretofore been
inaccessible from the sea owing to the abb
sence of any practicable roads. The engi-
neers are mostly young men, graduated
from the best technical schools of this coun-
try, but there are among the number many
older men experienced In railroad construc-
ton to undertake the direction Of their less
seasoned colleagues.

RECORD YEAR FOR ARIZONA MINES

There can be no question that the present year will be record breaker in the mining history of Arizona. Never before has such general activity been known throughout the territory, says the Arizona Miner.
 The great additions that have been made to the facilities for the treatment of Arizona ores at home had steadily growing influence on the development of mining properties. Not day passes without bringing intelligence of the re- sumption of work on mines that were proftably worked in the past, but had ceased to pay when the easily accessible deposits of high grade shipping ore near the surface were taken out. Under present conditions it is realized that deep mining has at last become practi- cable, and that the day of medium grade" proposition has arrived. Not only are hundreds of promising old mines being reopened, and other hun dreds of new ones coming into the rank of producers but there is general in- crease in production among the proper ties that have been steadily and profit ably operated under the old regime. This is especially true of the big copper mines of the territory. The United Verde on the north and the whole group of copper properties in the south will show record of production never be- fore equaled.

TAXED AND PAINLESS.

Kean St. Charles, of Our Mineral Wealth, is little rusty when it comes to Bible quotations, but nevertheless his dig at the alfalfa editors of Phoe- nix who have been bowling about the mining corporations evading taxation, is to the point. He says in his paper Our Mineral Wealth: Perhaps figur- ing up the taxless mines has slid your cabases over against the rib you swiped from Eve while she lay under the fig leaf asleep. When you find time to figure on all the taxless railroads that are paying big dividends to eastern stock holders, the sugar beet factory at Phoenix that almost make the farmers forget their troubles, the taxless dams and reservoirs tributary to the Salt, taxless electric power plants, etc, you will lose your equilibrium entirely and require porous plaster set over your bump of calculation.

The Yuma Sentinel. which recently espoused the cause of joint statehood, balks at Mir. Ainsworth, the jointists candidate for delegate to congress. It says; ''The action of the Bisbee con- vention should be final, and republicans should bow to the will of the majority and support and vote for w. F. Coop CT. The joint statehood measure is another matter, and one that cannot be affected one way or the other by vot- ing for this or that candidate, but only by voting for or against the proposition itself. This is question for voters of all parties to decide for themselves, and in voting they should be in no wise in fluenced by their preferences or per sonal feelings regarding candidates. !"

NOT IN HARMONY WITH HIS PARTY

Mir. Bryan's queer notion that the way to get the railroads out of politics is to secure their ownership by the government and turn them entirely over to the politicians, is opposed by the leading men of the democratic party, including John Sharpe Williams, Senators Daniel of Virginia, Baily of Texas, Bacon of Georgia in fact al most all who have been interviewed on the subject. Senator Bacon, one of the ablest members of the minority, said
 Ut would present the most inviting and unlimited field for graft and thiev- cry that the world ever saw. It would constitute political machine the reach and resistless powers of which cannot be even conceived. Any party con trolling it could perpetuate itself in office and practically destroy the free dom of popular government. And those conditions would be grossly in- tensified when that political machine would also influence and largely control all the business and property values of the nation"

FOR DELEGATE TO CONGRESS --
 MARK. A. SMITH.
A GENEROUS OPPONENT

Mark Smith has adopted policy tC pursue in the campaign which has just opened that will commend him to every loyal and fair-minded citizen of Arizona, regardless of his political bias. A correspondent of the Phoenix Republican writing from St. Johns, Apache county. refers to the manner in which Mir. Smith opened his speech making as 'the strangest in the his- tory of political campaigns, and explains this by adding;
 Not a word did he say against the opposing candidate, not word against the opposing party, not word in favor of his own party, and scarcely word in favor of himself. The whole of his talk was against the one great issue of jointure
 It is none the less eommendable in Mark Smith to entirely ignore partisan questions because of the generally ac- cepted opinion that his reelection as delegate to congress is certain, for in placing the campaign on so high level, making the contest with the republican candidate friendly one, and surrender ing the advantage which he might well have availed himself of by contrasting his experience and notable services rendered the people of Arizona at Washington, with the inexperience of his opponent, Mark Smith has shown himself a statesman. He has elimin- ated every question of personal or par tisan gain, and makes the preservation of Arizona's autonomy no, only the paramount but the one great issue of the campaign. For this generous stand Mark Smith will be the more highly re- garded by thousands of his admirers throughout the territory.

It is unfortunate that so good man and republican as w. F. Copper should have been put up for slaughter by the republican territorial convention. Of course, it is we'll understood that no hope of Mir. Cooper's election is enter tained by the wise ones in the republi- can party. Had there been a fighting chance to defeat Mark Smith this year there would have been warm contest in the Bisbee convention for the republican nomination, with such men as Sturgis. Clark, Morrison and others in the running. The only reward that MT. Cooper can hope for is the prestige that will put him in line for appointment to some good office under the federal or territorial administra- tion.

The news that every reputable jour nal becomes possessed of, that would make most interesting and important reading matter, but that still must be withheld temporarily, or entirely sup pressed, for personal reasons or per sonal pledges exacting the reporter, would make the most readable portion of the average publication. A high degree of confidence must be imposed in the newspaper man to whom matter of this kind is confded, mot for publi- cation," but simply as an evidence of good fellowship; and it is extremely seldom that this confidenceis is betrayed. But the temptation to use a story" that has not been released, " to speak in newspaper parlance, is often one that constitutes severe strain on the reportorial conscience. Arizona Min ing Review.
