our statute books.
THE PUBLIC SCHOOL COURSE.

THE PUBLIC SCHOOL COURSE.
In accordance with a recent order
of the State Board of Education
Superintent Wright has just issued
instructions to the teachers of Har
ford under which the course is divided
into eleven instead of ten grades.
The change begins i'll the fifth grade
and gradually widens each successive
year until the eighth becomes about
equivalent to the old seventh.
He has therefore instructed that
pupils who last June successfully
completed the sixth, seventh, eighth
and ninth grades be promoted two
instead of one grade, while those
who failed to pass in the sixth will
form a new seventh. This arrange
ment prevents many pupils from
doing twice work which has already
been satisfactorily completed, and
keeps the seventh grade in the course
this year by making it up of those
from the sixth who are not qualified
for a double promotion.
The reason assigned by state
officials for this change was not to
increase the course but to make each
years work lighter since it was
found that child nearly always re-
manned in some one grade for two
years.
The change mainly affects the
high school grades, which now
begin with the eighth instead of the
seventh as heretofore, and hence it
affects materially only about six
schools in this county.
We regret very much that these
changes have been made. We think
the course should be of such length
that a large proportion of those
who enter it should feel that they
have a fighting chance to complete
it. When the schedule covered nine
grades quite per cent. ofour schools
annually graduated pupils and the
diplomas received were considered no
mean trophy to win; but the addition
of a tenth grade materially reduced
the number and we fear that it will
now run much lower. The School
Commissioners by the creation of a
high school at Highland have placed
high school facilities within fighting
reach of nearly all the advanced
students of the county who are
willing to make some sacrifices to at
tend, and it is to be sincerely hoped
that continual changes in the course
will not be made by the state
authorities so that our people will
lose interest in home institutions OF
which they have heretofore been
Justly proud.

IHE LAW FE0NAI0SS SOTNEcnE'
Except with reference to single
statute the citizens of Hartford are
notably lawa-biding. 1t is not un-
usual for the grand jury to complete
their work in a session of from one
to three days, and frequently the
sheriff is without guests in his apart
ment house unless he picks up a
knight of the road" for some petty
violation of law. But there is one
statute known as the local option
law, which, ever since its enactment
twenty-five years ago, has received
hating respect from some of our
citizens their excuse for its violation
being that they edo not believe in
it."
Incidentally it may be remarked
that those who steal "do not believe
in" the law relating to larceny, and
thugs edo not believe in" the law
against assaults, but they have never
filed such specious plea for their
violations.
A few years ago violations of this
law were fragrant, but the Court
directed against these parties an
energy which knows no turning and
the "speak easy" dropped out of
sight. But, while public sentiment
may become for the time thoroughly
established, it is hard to keep it
established, and we now have staring
us in the face the fact that the grand
jury which just adjourned after
receiving special instructions from
the Bench, found more indictments
for the violation of this law than
for all other offenses combined.
Conspicuous among those accused
are certain social and literary clubs
recently organized, whose social far
outweigh their literary features; and
if their suspected natureis conclusive
ly proven it is to be hoped that their
career will be as briefas it is disrepu-
TABLETOP there could be nothing more
disreputable than to invoke one arm
of thelaw to aid in violating another.
AS matter of principleno one can
successfully refute the proposition
that all existing laws should be
respected and obeyed, and as a
matter of practice we cannot afford
to do less in this case. 1t costs Har-
ford county no small sum of money
to have this law on her statute
books. Besides receiving no revenue
from licenses, and besides the large
sums paid for its enforcement, it is
we'll known that much money is sent
from the interior of Hartford for the
purchase of intoxicating beverages
just beyond her borders, so the least
that good citizens can expect is that
by it's effectual enforcement through
out the county those blessings will
follow to maximum degree which
are claimed by its friends.
A people have the undoubted right
to enact into law for their own
guidance any regulation which is
morally right and in accordance
with the wishes of a majority of
those affected; in the absence of a
vote to the contrary, the evidence is
conclusive that both of these pro-
visions prevail in Hartford with
reference to her local option law,
and healthy public opinion will sus-
tain and approve Of the firm enforce

Frank M. Murphy, president of the <. F., P. X F., was in Washington re. gently, and in m interview on the now dead joint statehood issue, was quoted as follows;
 "Thc people of Arizona are well satisfied with the situation as it stands" said Frank N. Murphy of Prescott.
 "They have proved their indepcnd' encc by rejecting the proposal to join in statehood with New Mexico. They believe they are entitled to the rights of other American citizens, ,nt they recognize the fact that they mnst wait and they are willing to wait. Events have proved that the committee which came here from Arizona last sess'on to oppose statehood was representative oi the sentiment of the Territory.

ARIZONA SIMPLIFYING COMPANY
 WANTS TAXES BACK

Al the meeting of the Board of Sup crvisors. yesterday, the Arizona Smclt' ing company made application to have the taxes of the compahy for the year 1906, amounting to s5,i2s.65, refunded.
 Among the reasons advanced m the petition for the return of the taxes was that the institution had proven n boon to the county by creating new taxpaying enterprises in the different mining districts where work was re- sumcd on number of properties when n market for the mineral output was afforded within easy reach by tbc con struction and operation of the com pany's smelting plant nt Humboldt, it being also stated that all of the new mines started were on paying basis, while the books and accounts of the company's institution were open for in vestigation to show that it had been operated last year at n loss.
