JAPAN'S MONETARY
 TROUBLES.

One of the reasons why Japan will ster clear of war with any country in the near future, if she can help it, is told in a dispatch from Tokio. France and Germany have refused to float her per cent bonds for her, with which she wanted to retire some of her bonds of the higher denomina- ticns. This is what dispatch tells us. The story is short, but it covers the ground. Japan cannot get the money which she asks, even for pur- poses of peace.
 The bankers of France and Ger many are among the most alert in the world. They are continually on l the lookout for chances to make mon ey for themselves and the sharehold- CTS in their institutions. But they re- fuse to Japan the terms which she 1 asks, and that country has to submit to pay higher rates than she expect ed to pay. Now Japan is to try to !, get London to lend her money at 5 per cent. She wants to retire her ger cent bonds. and unless the British bankers turn her down she will be able to get money at per cent, and thus be able to make saving on her outstanding obligations.
 Contrast Japan's credit with that of the United StateE- The United States has an interest-bearing debt of s92s.
 -.J,G00. But much more than half O. his bears the rate of per cent. ApS his is quoted at high premium. The } per cent bonds run until 1880, and can be used for security for note is. sues by the national banks. But the United States per cent bonds, which mature few months hence, are quot. ed above par, and the 4s of 1925 carry a premium of 90 per cent. The Unit ed States government could borrow $500, ,000, 900 at 21a per cent in any big money market of the world on oul own terms. The rebuff for Japan in Paris and Berlin will give her a new incentive for keeping on good terms with the United States, notwithstand ing the exclusion of her cooIies Iron the mainland of this country.

THE WAGE
 OF IDlENESs.

Chicago man, Edward M. Hig- gins, says that he is going to cult business and have some fun now. By close economy, such as shaving can dle-ends and at the same time attend ing to Phil Armour's business during the week and assisting in taking up collections at church on Sunday, he has saved something like s5,000,000, and he proposes to hurl care to the wind and in the future roll 'em high. Some one suggested that he leave his money'sto be expended in charities, but this arouses his risibihties. What do know about children" he asks. q have troubles Of my own let the children tell their troubles to the policeman. I am going to Europe ito England, Holland, France Japan, Persia, Egypt and several other inter esting places. and am going to scat ter my money around in way thet will bring me pleasure"
 It may be safely predicted that with in a year Higgins will be the most lonesome man this side of the Wan dering Jew, and that he will be com ing back to Chicago on the run to get good drink of the murky waters of the Chicago river. When a man who has spent his life in active busi l ness. dealing constantly with his fel lowmen. starts out to change his hab i it's and seek fun he invariably finds weariness and disgust Tn fact, man was not created fov useless purpose and statisticians of national renowr | bear out the statement that men who quit business and retire to a life oi indolence soon die.

HONOR BESTOWED
 ON CAPT. ROGUE

Captain John T. Hogue, member of the council from Apache county and one of Arizona's most honored pio neers, was the recipient of a pretty little surprise last Friday. The occa- zion was his seventyssecond birthday some rumor of which had reached certain persons in the council rooms. Mir Smith, the generous and devoted guardian of the capitol grounds, was quietly enlisted as assistant and on coming to the council room Captain Hogue found his desk covered with flowers and delicate sprays of cypress and pepper.
 After the formal opening of the ses- sion Mir. Doran called Mir. Cleaveland to the chair and paid beautiful and | touching tribute to Captain Hog1le, ending with motion for a resolution of reorganization and respect. This motion wes seconded by every member of the council in turn in words of fitting tribute to the member | from Apache county who may truly 1 be said to be seventy-two years young, so lightly has the hand oi | time fallen on his heart and brain. | Mr. Cleaveland, as president pro tenn. moved that the resolution be adopted by rising vote, and spoke warmly of Captain Hogue's service to his country and to Arizona and of the greater service which such a life as his renders to all humanity.
 Captain Hogue was deeply touched and spoke feelingly of his pleasure in ! the little surprise and congratulations of his fellow members.
 He spoke of the wonderful changes covered by his life of seventy-twc years. which reached back before the telegraph, the telephone, the ocean cable, and to the infancy oi the railroads.
 Within the years of his manhood had fallen the most farTeaching de velopments of modern civilization and such changes in huraan life and op portunities as the world had not seer in all the centuries past.

WORK OF CONGRESS.

A review of the work or the nity- ninth congress indicates that in the struggle to obtain legislation in ac- cordance with his wishes. the presi- dent of the United States has not scored heavily with the two houses. The recommendations of the presi- dent have not been treated, in all re- spects, with that consideration the chief executive is supposed to be able to compel on the part of the legisla- tive branch of the government.
 During the three months of the short session, which convened De cemher 3 last, the president broke all records in the matter of messages to congress. Within that short time he transmitted to one house or the other a total of thirty-seven messages He made ffty-nine important recommen- dations, and of these only fifteen fe- ceived favorable consideration and were written,into the statutes. Asto- ts, of forty-one were either rejected or passed over in silence. In addition to these formal recommendations, many others were made by letter, or in person, to senators and represen- tatives.
 Of the. messages sent to congress one was the annual message at the opening of the session; ten were on miscellaneous subjects, referring the claims of foreign subjects, returning bills in compliance with requests and others of similar purport; nine related to Porto Rico. eight of them trans hitting ordinances adopted by the executive council, and one containing the presidents personal observations while making 8 tour of the island two were on the Brownsville riot; two were yetoes; two were urging legislation amending the public land laws; one asked for new naval per sonnel law; one asked that those who participated in yellow fever experi ments to determine the origin of the disease should be rewarded; one re quested action on the claims of the Roman Catholic church in the Philip pines; one urged legislation for Alas ka; onS r-...ted to laws for the Ioy' and Oklahoma Sac aud Fox Indians one referred to the rights of white: who intermarry with Cherokee citi Zens; one was devoted to the question of Japanese children in the San F'raa cisco public schools: one was an Illus trated message dealing with h.s tr.l to Panama; one requested an appr5 priation for the repair of the hreal. il the Colorado river. and one urged shil subsidy legislation.
 Out of all these recommendation there emerged in the form of iaa the following:
 Currency reform ia the shape c the Aidrich bill.
 New immigration Legislation wa enacted, although it was less dTasti than the president desired.
 Permission was given 10 co-oFerat for the prevention of atrocities in n Congo Free state, the president riear time having grown weary of waitir and taken steps without legislatiy authority.

The increase of the tax value of mining products in Arizona from 20 to 25 per cent did not defract any of the merits of the bill With the price of copper at 25 cents per pound now, with every prospect of further ad- vance, we believe the 25 per cent rate Is rot too high.

Going to Canada.

According to figures sent out
by Chairman r. T.. Macleod of
the Western Passenger Associa-
ton, many thousand Americans
are annually obeying the call Of
the wilds Of western Canada. In
n circular issued TO all Of the
lines Of the association, it is stat
ed that the tide Of immigration
from the United States into Can
ada is reaching q stage which
should awaken interest. Mr..
Macleod states that during the
decade passed total of 272,O00
people have left the United States
and have taken up homes in Can.
ada and that 57,9t9, or nearly
one-fifth of these, went there in
the year ending June 30. 1906.
During the greatest year Of i'm
migration from the United States
into Canada, there came into the
country from Great Britain and
Ireland 1876 persons. During
the last ten years Great Britain
and Ireland have sent u total of
3il.1l7 people, who have found
new homes in the American col
ony, and This number is not very
much IN excess Of the population
which the United States has fur
nished Canada. - Daily Panhan-

DRINKERS INGENIOUS DEVICE

DR.. Herbert Gresham James, the
specialist in dipsomania, was talk
ing about the cunning with which
dipsomanlacs in confinement will
obtain liquor.
"A certain noted but intemper-
ate actor" said he, "was once locked
up by his manager in order that he
might not spoil the evenings per-
fornancc by overwhelming. His
confinement was close. Windows,
doors-cvcrything was locked and
barred,
But the actor beckoned to a man
in the street, showed a greenback,
and bawlcl to him through the
closed window to 90 and buy Il bottle
of brandy and a clay pipe,
when the man returned with
these purchases the actor called:
"'Stick the pipestem in through
the kcyholc.'
"This was done.
"'Now. said the actor, pour the
brandy carefully into the bowl
AS the fluid fell into the bowl the
actor sucked it up, and when his
manager came to release him that
evening, he lay i'll a corner quite
gloriously drunk.

"Wcll, to tell you the truth, that

is something here that looks very

Then he held the diamond under a
