Tempe Normal School of Arizona.

The next term of the Tempe Normal School of Arizona, will be. gin Monday, September 9th, and an unusually large attendance is assured.
 Many improvements are being made that will contribute to the comfort of the students and in- crease the capacity of the school. Both dormitories have been thor oughly renovated and painted and an addition has been built to the girls hall, increasing its capacity by forty eight. This addition rend. CTS 1t possible for students to room alone for little extra expense, if they desire to do so. The dormi- tory expenses are $16.50 per month which includes board, furnished room, steam heat, electric light. running water in rooms, use of bath, parlors and pianos. The dormitory also furnishes all neces- sary bedding, towels, table linen, etc. $l4.O0 per month will be charged students who desire to room in private families and board in the Normal dining hall. The military drill is the special pride of our young men and they are re- qulred to purchase a uniform at an expense of about $500.
 Students who have completed the eighth grade work in the pub- lic school should be prepared to enter the first year of the Normal course. This will be determined by means of written tests, supple mented by grades and testimonials from former teachers. Candidates for advanced standing in Normal classes shoald file their grades and such credentials as they have se- cured from other schools when they make application. Graduates from a full high school course are eligible to junior classification. It is de- slrable that students enter the Nor anal the first week of the term or as soon thereafter as possible
 A two years course in Spanish has just been introduced which will be of practical value 10 our stu dents and of special advantage to those who pursue our four years Latin course and expect to enter college or university after complet- ing the Normal course. Manual training has been introduced as part of the regular course and the work Is very popular with the students.
 Mos of the railroads of the ter ritory will grant a special rate to our students of one and one-fourth fare for the round trip; full fare to be paid coming and one-fourth fare for the return trip. Ask your local agent for particulars when pur- chasing your ticket.
 The catalogue for the year 1907- s contains detailed information on all matters pertaining to the school and will be forwarded upon ap- plication to all who are interested in the Normal.
 Address all communications re- lating to entrance to Normal, dor mitoly reservations, railroad rates, catalogues, etc, to

NOT WHOLLY HAPPY.

The happy, happy Connecticut
farmer of whom we occasionally read
in poetry and poetical prose is not now
quite as happy as he is said to have
been at times. He suffered from a
late Spring, and now he is suffering
from dry Summer. His face and his
voice are sad as he tells what the
drought has done to the potatoes and
other things in which he put his hope,
his money and his work. His cows
are not giving the milk which the
cows Of happy, happy farmer usual
ly give. He has unpleasant visions of
a disappointing Fall and hard Win
ter, not much relieved by looking
ahead to another speculative Spring.
We sincerely hope that the Com
necticut farmer will yet fare better
than he expects to this year. His
chance for some things is gone, and
he needs lot of rain to save other
things, The prospect for rain when
1t Is most needed doesn't look very
bright it must be admitted, but it
may soon rain so that the thirsty
earth win get all it wants to drink,
That will be much, for it is as dry as

A DROP TO DEATH.

1t is not strange that the fatal fall
Of young French, the west Haven
aeronaut, cast a gloom over the gayeties
of that shore resort Saturday evening
The young man was well liked, had
provoked the admiration Of his friends
and the sightseeing public by his play
ing with the laws of life and seemed
we'll on the way to reputation as an
air athlete. Something went wrong and
he was carried hurriedly to a sudden
and tragic death.
1t is past the powers of the lay imag-
nation to explain either the fascination
which such reckless defiance of human
law has for the aeronaut or for the
public. 1t is as real and substantial as
human enjoyment can make 1t. Hun
dreds of people follow the ascent of the
balloon with intense concern and feel a
sense of joyous relief when the hero of
the ascension returns to receive their
congratulations. 1t is all so intensely
human in it's revelation of the childish
yearning for the mysterious that Dan
lei in the lions den remains yet an
dissatisfied appetite. Should he an.
nounee his intention in this day ant
generation of entering den of untam-
ed and unframed lions thousands would
be present to see him eaten up

though it cast 632,645 votes at the last
election. This same disproportion of al
most twelve to one as against the
northern States is maintained. It will
require the 2,01S,55S votes of Illinois,
Iowa, Kansas, California, Minnesota,
Nebraska. the Dakotas, Oregon and
Washington to entitle those great
States to the same representation as
Is accorded the nine southern States
mentioned. That is to say, while 900
votes in the South are credited with
one vote in the convention, it requires
10000 votes in the North for each del
egate to the national convention.
1t has, of course. been hard work to
be good Republican in the South. and
It isn't any too easy now, but one
southern Republican ought not to
count for as much in the party coun-
ellis as twelve northern ones.

1t is more or less a waste of time to
speculate as to the effect of this atti-
tude upon his candidacy. It is likely to
be little in the face of the power Of
the administration to impress its views
upon the various States of the Union
before the convention, and practically
nothing If he is nominated. There Is
little likelihood of those defeating him
at the polls who would like a more
conservative man than Roosevelt nom
mated. With all of the shortcomings
they are not yet ready to accept Mr..
Bryan or a man representing him AS
TO- the kind of President Mr.. Taft
would make, those who know him best
will not be discouraged by his manly
acceptance Of the Roosevelt creed as
his own. They know that he will en-
force the laws, make no compromise
with the forces which make for evil
and to the extent of his ability lead
the way constantly to higher concep-
ton of national politics. They also
know that he will be the President of
the United States, adjusting himself
fearlessly and Independently to each
situation as it arises, with the good Of
the whole country in mind. That's Will
liam H. Taft.

DECIDEDLY DrspRoponrrox4rE.


The complaint of the Topeka Journal
that the apportionment of delegates to
the Republican convention from the
nine southern States is unfair is well
founded. The nine States Of Alabama,
Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana,
Mississippi, South Carolina, Texas and
Virginia will have 1872 delegates to the
convention, though they cast only 1884,
1886 votes at the last election. 1t will re-
qrire the votes of ten Northern States,
casting 2,01S,553 votes, to entitle them
to 1872 votes in the convention. Ala
bama, with 22,474 votes cast, will have
twenty-five votes In the convention,
while Minnesota, with 2i6,651 votes, will
have only an equal number An even
greater discrepancy is shown in the
fact that Georgia with only 24,00S votes
at the last election will have twenty
six delegates, while it will require SO7,-
9O' votes in Iowa to entitle that State
to twenty-six delegates. South Carolina
and Texas combined cast only 52,S61
votes, but they will have fifty-four del
egates, whereas Illinois via have only
that many votes in the convention,

Legislation for the pee~pul isn't al
ways as wise as it is rattering. The
friends of the pee-pul in the Wiseon-
sin legislature thought they would hit
the railroads wipe and thus make
themselves more solid with their con-
stituents, So they made a law that
railroad riding in Wisconsin should be
at the rate of two cents mile, When
the new law went into effect the rail-
roads interpreted 1t literally and
straightway cut off their suburban
communication rates. Now the wage
.earners are complaining that they
cannot afford to pay two cents a mile
to ride from their homes to their
places of employment.
OF course the wage-earners Of Wis
consin can't afford to pay two cents a
mile when going to and from work.
And it will be found that the pee
pull for whom many of the new rail-
road laws were ostensibly and osten-
tatiously made can't afford them.
There is soon going to be considerably
more thought and sense In this coun-
try than there have been recently

A FOND DU LAO FRElK.

Perhaps almost anything could be
expected OF Fond du Lac, Wisconsin.
Anyhow, a recently enacted ordinance
in that city requires that copies of the
portraits Of all habitual drunkards
shall be posted III the saloons; and to
such the bartenders are required to re-
fuso strong, malt or Intoxicating
liquors. The regulation is expected to
work well in two ways. The confirmed
drinker will be compulsorily regenerat-
ed by the pledge imposed upon the sa-
looms, and other citizens win be re-
strained in their bibuous propensitles
to save themselves from being exhibit
ell in the portrait galleries over the
bars IA further illustration Of the prac-
tical working of the ordinance for the
benefit Of the Individual is afforded BY
the request of a citizen that his pic
tire be hung on the habtual drunkard
line, for which he is not yet qualified
in order that his own efforts to keer
| his thirst from getting the better OF
him may be assisted by refusal to
sorvt him.
1t may be that this ordinance will
work as 1t Is expected to, but goot
many men who are habitual drunkards
are not very sensitive about being
lu own and pictured as such.

After the worry and trouble.
After the grief and pain,
How shall we be exalted
What reward shall we gain?
They that are slaves to pleasure,
They that have foolish pride,
Shall they be put to torture,
Shall they in hell abide?
They that have nobly suffered,
They that have done their best.
Shall they be raised to glory,
Shall they be richly blessed?
Foolish are they who question,
Foolish are they that slave
Only with thoughts of claiming
Riches beyond the grave.
Foolish are they whose virtue
Is but a price they pay
Grudgingly for the glory
Which they expect some day.
Foolish are they that, shining,
Think they shall gain thereby,
Think that the grave shall bring then
Nothingness when they die.
Daily they yield their payment,
They that are slaves to vice.
Even If death be final,
Fully they pay the price
They are cheated who turn from pleas
ure
For gladness beyond the skies;
Virtue that looks for payment
Is vice in a thin disguise.

NOT RETIRING.

During the heated term, when even
the mud turtles thought it wise to
retire to their muddy lairs, busy copy
makers in Connecticut wrote and got
printed plausible stories Of the retire
mont of this or that politician, or
statesman. 1t now appears that these
stories had not that foundation of fact
which is desirable in stories that are
lgoing to turn out to be true. No Con
Ineeticut politician or statesman has
retired, and none who can successful
ly resist retirement is going to retire.
They are all with us still, ready and
willing to guide and guard us. So we
can continue to feel safe and to know
that Connecticut is still the Land of
Steady Habits, including the habit of
its politicians and statesmen not to
be retiring enough to hurt themselves
or the State.

There has been a change of senti-
ment among the naval tactical experts
concerning the value Of the sub
merged torpedo. Some time ago it
was insisted that every battleship
should carry at least four torpedo
tubes, and some Of the ships were
changed at considerable expense in or
der to meet the prevailing view. This
sentiment has now been modified to
the extent that it is considered that a
battleship can get along with two in
stead Of four submerged tubes. The
prejudice in favor of the larger num-
Der of tubes grew out Of the view that
naval warfare hereafter would be
conducted within torpedo range. This
Theory was not borne out by the naval
fights in the Far East during the wal
between Russia and Japan, and the
torpedo is now considered as having a
limited value which really places 1t in
the class of weapons carried fol
