TONG WARS IN EASTERN CITIES

Here in Arizona we take what our critics would probably call Satanic deli ght whenever we hear of the nor maj performances of those whom the holy, but rather mushy sentimcntalists of the east are accustomed to call 9th, little brown men' or "our Asiatic brothers" There has been little af fair in Boston which should give the denizens of that city n passing notion of the real nature of their little brown brothers. Tho merits of the contro vcrsy do not clearly appear from the dispatches, but SO far as we can make out deputation of highbinders from New York went over to Boston and shot up the Chinatown in that city for the purpose of evening up in somc way for some shooting which had been done by some other highbinders in Philadel phia. In due time, we presume, the return visit may be expected either in New York or Philadelphia, ss the facts In tho case may warrant. The Boston aRair seems to have been conducted in the orthodox way to which we have long becn accustomed. The visiting Tong proceeded in \ business.llke way to corral their hosts in . blind alley, which they effectively shot up, appar. ently taking the next train to New Yoik without leaving their addresses for the coroner.
 There is good deal of quiet interest in this Territory in the discussion of Oriental immigration which is kept up in the eastern press. Upon the average it is not anywhere near SO silly as it was six or eight months ago. In fact, on the part of large section of the press it is now perfectly sane and req. sonablc. A few more inteTchanges of Oriental courtesy such as that at Bos. ton will probably Illuminate all cx cept those whose minds are impene, trable. We in Arizona do not mater. ially differ from others of our race and wc understand perfectly that the re. suit of contact of our people with Ori. entals will be tho same everywhere. To those who, with no knowledge of Ari. cntals, attribute our dislike to them to discrcditable motives, and who declare that S0,O00 Orientals distributed among so,ooo,oo0 need at any rate cause no uneasiness, we reply that we arc quite willing to accept their judgment when founded on such experiences as ours, and also that the sO.0O0 are not dis. tributed among the so,00O,0OO. They are concentrated in a very few places.
 It is, of course, understood that we do not pretend that all Orientals arc

CHILDREN AND THE HOME.

In Success Magazine for August, Orison Sweet Warden contributes an article on home life captioncd "Makc the Children Happy" in which is cm. bodied beautiful sentiments, as well as much common sense. The writer con. tends, and very properly, too, that children arc necessary adjunets to home happiness and insists that this happiness is intensified by contrib. uting to the pleasure of the children. "Wc have all seen children wno have had no childhood," says the writer. "Thc fun.loving element has been ctushed out of them. They have been rcpresscd and forbidden to do this and that SO long that they nave lost tho faculty of having n good time. We see little old men and women every. where. Children should he kept child rcn just as long as possible. What has responsibility, seriousness or sadness to do with childhoodl We always feel indignant, as we'll as sad, when we sec the evidence of maturity, ovcr.scrious ! ness, care or anxiety in n child's face, for we know someone has sinned some. where. The little ones should bc kept strangers to anxious care. reflective thoughts and subjective moods. Their lives should bc kept bright, light buoyant, cheerful. full of sunshine, joy and gladncss. They should bc cncour aged to laugh and to play and to romT to their hearts content. The serious side of life will come only too quickly do what we may to prolong childhood One of the most unfortunate things know of Is the home that is not illum
 mated by at least one cheerful, sunny young face. that does not ring with th' persistent laughter and merry voice oi child. No man or woman is pcrfcctl, normal who is distressed or vexcd by the playing of children. There wa, something wrong in your bringing up il
 1t nnnoys you to sec children romping playing md having good time.
 The disposition of man or woman can be nearly correctly gaugcd by thei1 attitude toward children. When either is intolerant with the noisy thougl harmless frolicking of a child it is saf' to put them down as being grouchy ill.tcmpcrcd and highly sensitive to interference with their pcclliar whim
 and alleged pleasures. A household without n child is almost n tragedy, al tho writer says, and at tho same tim' 1t can bc said that home with child ron whose lives are burdened with disagrceablc, fault finding parents Ii

Agricultural Appointments.

Governor Buchtel has appointed ex,
Congressman Franklin E. Brooks and
ex-Lieutenant Governor Jared l..
Brush to fill two vacancies on the
State Board of Agriculture. Mr.. Brush
was lieutenant governor during the
second administration of Governor
Adams. He is resident of Greeley,
and is deeply interested in the ad-
vancement of Colorado along agricul.
tural lines. The terms to which
Messrs. Brush and Brooks are ap-
pointed run for eight years. The out
going members of the board are p. f.
Sharpe and Harlan Thomas. The for
mer was not a candidate for reappoint
ment and Thomas has moved out OF
the state.
Other members of the board are: r
W. Corwin of Pueblo. Alfred A. Ed
wards of Fort Collins. Eugene Grubb
of Carbondale. b. F. Rockefellow OF
Canon City. B. U. Dye, Rocky Ford /;
j. l.. Chatfield, Gypsum.
If bill introduced by Speaker
Breckenridge in the House becomes a
law. systematic drainage of alkaline
lands will be undertaken in Colorado
The measure carries an appropriation
of $1,000. which is to be used in con
nection with a like amount to be ap
propriated by the national government
for experimental purposes. Various
western states have reclaimed man,
acres of land formerly useless by CO
operating with the national Depart
ment Of Agriculture in the matter.

No Pay for State Boards.

Bills have been prepared and will be
introduced into the Legislature at once
placing all state boards on the same
level, that is to say, making them hon.
orary boards without pay, as recon-
mended in Governor Buchters mes
sage; and providing that members of
these boards shall be allowed their act
ual travelling expenses and no more.
Their advocates say that these meas
ures will become law without ques-
ton. The saving, according to their
views, will not be so very great; that
is not the aim, but the material to
draw from will be better. Those who
will accept positions will do so as an
act of citizenship free from any selfish
motive and their conduct will be so
considered by the public. Heretofore
there has been suspicion that mem
bership on some of the boards was re-
served for professional politicians anx-
ious to make an easy living, and for
that reason the best citizens did not
care to accept positions on these
boards. The aim in the proposed legis-
lation is to get the very best men and
women to serve on the state boards in
the knowledge that they receive moth
ing directly or indirectly for their SER
vices.
The following boards now serve
without pay: Board of agriculture,
board of charities and corrections,
board of health, board of medical ex-
aminers, board of pharmacy, board OF
pardons. board of dental examiners,
School for the Deaf and Blind. Home
for Dependent Children, Industrial
School for Girls, Normal school trus-
tees, School of Mines trustees, also
state geologist. The secretaries in
most instances receive salaries.
Boards that have salaries or per
diems include the lunacy board, Indus,
trial School for Boys, penitentiary
commissioners.

SURELY WINS THE PALM.
One Mean Man Who outdoes Some
Others.

Many stories have been told Of
mean men, such as he who used a
wart for collar-button and he whose
birthday gift to his son consisted in
washing the windows so that the
lad might watch the cars go by.
This man. however, seems to have
won the palm:
There was an extremely mean man
in New Hampshire, who was the pro-
prietor Of a hotel. BY his direction
rules were posted in the hcstelry for
bidding almost every conceivable priv
ilege to those not guests of the place.
There was absolutely no chance for
the casual loafer to get newspapers.
pen, ink, stationery. etc. There were
not even free seats in the Office.
One day. relates the Success Maya
zine. he CHANGED to observe chronic
loafer gazing at the old clock that
hung on the wall. The next day a
sign was placed over the clock. 1t
read: This clock is for the use Of
the guests of the hotel only"

would Incre..e eufta!o Herd.

Plans for the propagation OF the
American buffalo we're discussed at a
recent meeting of the American Bison
Association in New York. 1t was
stated that there were $3.50 in North
America, Of which 1,400 are in the
United States, and that in view OF the
rapidity with which the animals have
decreased in recent years 1t was ar
gued they will soon become extinct
unless effectual steps are taken to
foster them.
The society decided to make an eff
fort to purchase practically all the re-
naming buffaloes In this country and
Canada and present them to the
United States government By so do.
ing it hopes the government will set
aside large tracts of land where the
bison may be raised on large scale.
The society decided to look into the
practicability of locating several herds
of buffaloes on the Flathead Indian
reservation in northwestern Montana.
and in the Grow reservation in south
western Wyoming. Morton j. Elrod,
of the University Of Montana, will be
asked to report to the society upon
the possibilities of the Flathead res
ervation.

AWFUL EFFECT OF ECZEMA.
Covered with Yellow Sores-Grew
Worse-Parents Discourased-cu-
ticura Drove Sores Away.

Our little girl, one year and q
half old, was taken with eczema or
that was what the doctor called it.
We called in the family doctor, and
he gave some tablets and said she
would be all right in a few days.
The eczema grew worse and We
called in doctor No. 2. He said she
was teething, as soon as the teeth
were through she would be all right
But she still grew worse. Doctor
No. said it was eczema. By this
time she was. nothing but a yellow,
greenish sore. Well, he said he could
help her, so we let him try it about
week. One morning we discovered
a little yellow pimple on one of
her eyes. OF course we 'phoned for
doctor No. 8. He came over and
looked her over, and said that he
could not do anything more for
her, that we had better take her
to some eye specialist. since it was
an ulcer. So we went to Oswego to
doctor No. 4, and he said the eye
sight was gone. but that he could
help it. We thought we would try
doctor No. 5. Well, that proved the
same. only he charged $40 more than
doctor No. 4. We were nearly dis
couraged. l saw one of the Cuti-
cura advertisements in the paper and
thought we would try the Cuticura
Treatment, SO l went and purchased
set of Cuticura Remedies. which
cost me 81, and in three days our
Il ,1~ ;oIr
eight months, showed great improve
ment. and in one week all sores had
disappeared. or course it could not
restore the eyesight, but if we had
used, Cuticura in time l am confident
that it would have saved the eye. We
think there is no remedy so good for
any skin trouble or impurity of the
blood as Cuticura. Mr.. and Mrs. Frank

Indiana Railroad Wreck.

Terre Haute, Ind.-Big -Four accom-
mediation train No. 3. which left Terre
Hau.e at $50 O'Clock was destroyed
by the explosion of car Of powder at
the siding east of Sanford. Indiana, at
so o'clock Saturday night Fifteen
persons were killed outright and the
death list is twenty-seven, with thirty
Ave injured. The engine, two coaches
and baggage car of the train were de
molished. From the most definite in
sormation obtainable. the freight train
had just cleared the main track and
had come to standstill when the
passenger started TO pass it. 1t is
thought that the concussion caused by
the passenger set off the powder in
the freight car. G. NJ. Armstrong
agent at Sand Ford. stated that he
thought the car contained about 500
