done and the conferees, after some two
weeks or further consideration. agreed
upon a bill and it was accepted by both
houses
IN the case Of the postoffice appro.
prialion bill, for example. some points
involved were fought and debated IN
the bodies as though the fate of the ma.
tion depended upon the outcome. MANY
changes were made in the senate nn,,n
THESE Identical matters. The bills are
sent 10 conference and after week or
TWO threshing out the conferees report
to their respective houses. When the
conferees reported to the senate the
report was agreed to without a uues-
ton being raised. In fact when the
Vice President Of the United States
asked the question: Those in favor Of
the adoption of the conference report
say aye, those opposed mo-" there
was no response either way and the
report was declared adopted. In fact
nobody appeared to pay any attention
To or take any interest in the proceed
lngs, or to take the trouble to ascen-
tain just what became of this or that
amendment. OF course the reading
clerk in reading the report gave the
numbers of the amendments that had
been agreed to or receded from by the
senate and house conferees, but these
We're SO numerous and read 80 rapidly
that nobody could follow them, and as
stated nobody seemed to be taking any
interest in the report.
A Compromise Performances.
1hf' explanation is that the republi.
~nN1y tl~l A.
committee and the member of the com.
mittee next to him, had charge Of the
conference report on behalf of the re.
publicans, and the democrats knew
they were represented on the confer
ence committee by democrat Doth
parties looked to their representatives
to protect their interests.
Thus, 1t will be seen, that as i mat
ter of fact, laws are really made N
conference. and that six men, three
from the senate and three from the
house, really determine what the pro-
visions Of any bill shall be, within GER
tain limits, of course; that is, the con-
ferees cannot introduce entirely new
features
When one comes to mediate upon
the system employed in the making of
laws; the large number Of minds to be
satisfied and interests to be considered,
it is really a wonder that any laws are
passed. Law-making is continuous
compromise performance. Conferees
are confronted with say 200 different
amendments Of the other body And
this IS always done. Sometimes con-
ferees almost come to blows but In the
end they always compromise someway.

SECOND CLASS MAIL REFORM.
Postal Commission Will Begin Public

Postal Commission VIII Begin Public
Hearings In October.
Washington, D. c., July 11.-Henry
Glauste, secretary Of the commission
to inquire into and report conditions
and its conclusions concerning the
laws relative to second class mail mat
ter, has issued an announcement that
the first session will be held at the
Holland House, New York, at noon Oc-
tober ], 1906.
The announcement in part follows:
"The report Of the postmaster gener-
al for the year ending June 30, 1906,
shows that the cost OF maintaining the
entire postal service for that year was
approximately $167 100000 and that
the revenue from all sources was APP
proximately s153,000,000 Second clags
matter constituted approximately two
thirds Of the matter handled while it
yielded but $6,186,64754, or about one
twenty-fourth of the revenue derived
from postage. Not only has the postal
revenue suffered by reason of the I'M
due expansion of this class of matter
as compared with other classes. but in
dealing with the matter itself the pos
tai service is hampered at every step
by difficulties and perplexities of ad-
ministration."
The system as whole, the report
says, lacks uniformity and is confusing
to publisher and official alike The. re-

deemed impracticable to extend the

BRACELETS FOR BABES
Very Pretty Ornaments for the Little
 Ones.

Quite naturally the things that peO- pie want most are the hardest to get. MT. Bake of the Big Curio store, has often discovered that but it was never more forcibly impressed upon him than when ladies called for Navajo silver bracelets for children and babies. It was not an easy mat ter to keep these bracelets for grown people in stock and it seemed impossi- ble to get the smaller ones. But now he has just received a handsome and varied stock of them. They are just like the larger ones only they are lighter and narrower. They have the same handsome hand engraving though, the designs consisting of ar rows. bows and the always appropri- ate swastika cross. These bracelets are extremely pretty ornaments for small children and babies.
 This is the time of year when Ari- ZOnians want to show their friends il the east some of the unusual products of this territory, for instance, speci- mems of the insect or reptilian life. There have just been mounted at the Rig Curio store several specimens of centipedes, horned toads, tarantulas and scorpions. These insects have been prepared by a special process by which they will be made to last practi- cally forever. They are rendered ab- solutely moth proof.
 For those who desire to mail them they have been put up in boxes on which it is necessary only to put on the address and a stamp. Or they are conveniently packed for those about to set out on a journey to visit friends.
 It is hardly necessary to refer again to the special cut prices which are ruling on all lines at the Big Curio store. Almost everybody has heard of them and most of the people of Phoe- nix have availed themselves of them It is again proper to say though that things may be bought at the Big Curio cheaper now than they can be bought in two months from now
