TO acnleve perfect powder is the
dream of every war chemist of today.
So writes William George in the Tech
nical World Magazine for January. For
upon this uncertain stuff does the des-
tiny of nations depend, in spite of Hague
conferences and the amitable platitudes
of peace ENJOYS. Great Britain has her
cordite and lyddite; France puts her
trust in poison-reeking melinite; Japan
has her Shimonose powder. In short,
every war office has it's own formula,
but all are based on a 'nitro-compound''
like gun cotton. This is high explosive
almost entirely smokeless and enormous
ly more powerful than ordinary gun
powder, long since relegated to the limbo
of other days, just as gas has been su-
perseded by electric light in the more
peaceful walks of life.

STRICT GUARD IS KEPT
 OVER BOSS ABE RUFF

Continued from First Pagel out Of his hands by any turn of events"
 An important move was made to- day by the prosecution. They served notice on the supreme court Of the United States of a motion to docket and dismiss Ruef's appeal for a writ of error to prohibit Dunne from fur ther hearing of the Ruef case. This appeal has been perfected by Ruef's attorneys who have sixty days in which to do so.
 It became known today that since the action of Judge DeHaven yester- day in the United States district court denying Ruef's application for admittance to bail by habeas corpus and denying the .Fightito appeal, Ruef has been much more closely and care fully guarded in the St. Francis hotel by Elisor Biggy and his deputies. He Is now allowed to see no one but his attorneys ?ud his immediate family.
 Shortly after the rendering of Judge DeFIayen's decision the elisor visited the office of Heney and informed him that he feared an attempt to rescue Ruef by force, and that he considered it would be prudent to guard the prisoner more strictly. .. -.s gf-
 Would I be justified asked Biggy ''in hereafter refusing to allow any one to see Ruef other than his attor- neys and immediate family?"
 q told him." said Heney, that he certainly would be justified in taking that step and he took it."

ing a doubt as to whether any Ari- zona legislation affecting railroad charges would not be in conflict with the Hepburn railroad bill.
 It is to be hoped that from now to the end of the session that the elect ed representatives of the people will be allowed to proceed with their du- ties of making laws without any furth- CT interference of the administration. If laws are enacted which do no meet the approval of the governor it is time enough then for him to state his objections to the measure.
 So far the legislative action in op- position to the contentious of the gov ernor and his administration has re- ceived the applause of the people and we hope that none will be so weak as to cover before the ''big stick" or par ty lash os the administration.
 This same question of mine taxa ton was made an issue in the repub- lican party before the convention which met at Bisbee last year and it was demonstrated in that convention that Kibbey's actions towards the mining industry of the territory, re- sulting in increasing the taxes to sums amounting to confscation on non-producing properties in order to reach larger properties with just tax met with no favor among any considerable number of the republi- cans of the territory.

prisoner at the bar is entitled to the benefit of a doubt, and there should be no discrimination against man who. has the misfortune to bear the brunt of attack upon the railway cor porations, says the los Angeles Her aid.
 Mir. Hartman. like Saul of Tarsus, claims to have seen a great light" He now sees, as declared, that "our policy in the past has been a mis- taken one" He admits, also, that railroads have been frequently at fault because of their failure to live up to traffic agreements" And he confesses that this dereliction of the railway companies has caused lack of public confidence in their acts.
 But all that is in the past. Mir. liar. riman indicates readiness to turn over a new leaf in his account with both the public and the government. He says: We men at the head of the great corporations on our part are coming to a better understanding of what the government expects of us; we are beginning to get the point of view of the administration; we. feel that no wall of us-the public, the government and the railways are on common ground where we can deal with each other in the right spirit"
 The sentiment of that declaration is all that could be desired. The con clusion is sensible and logical.
 The people and the government are willing and ready to accept MT. Har- riman's assurance, on behalf of the great railways, of a desire to make atonement for past shortcomings and to act on the principle of the square deal" in future. The overture will be met half way by all interests that have hitherto entertained grievances against the railway managers. ....-
 But, in view of the admitted sharp practice of these managers hereto fore, NIT. Hartman must be remind ed that ''by their works ye shall know them" It is quite true, as he says, that there is lack of public con. fidence in railway managers and that deficiency can be made good only by tangible acts in accordance with the commendable sentiment expressed. There can be no question that the pull together" policy is adaptable to all lines of human activity, and re suits always demonstrate the wisdom om employing it. The interests of the public and of the railway companies are So intimately associated that har mony between them would necessari ly be beneficial to both.
 Now let us see the tangible fruits of the square deal which Mir. Harri man proffers. Soft words butter nc parsnips."

THE ARGUMENT FOR
 UNIFORM DIVORCE LAWS.

The need of more uniform law regulating divorce in this country is plainly shown by Professor Felix Ad- Ter in the Woman's Home Companion for March. Professor Adler shows how the notable conference assem- bled at Washington last February marks the turning of the tide in this country away from the exaggerated freedom, or license, of divorce which has so widely prevailed, and a return to stricter views and to iasistence on more conservative practice.
 The congress on uniform divorce laws is socially significant, because it marks the turning of the tide in favor of stricter legislation on the subject of divorce. Uniformity is
 lined at. not for the sake of uni formity itself, but for the sake of greater protection of the family, which such uniformity will furnish. It has been one of the favorite arguments of the adversaries of popular govern ment that democracy in the end must lead to social as well as political an archy. The friends of popular gov ernment, on the other hand, have put their trust in what may be called the collective instinct of seif-preservation of the masses.
 "The congress is important and in teresting for another reason: It is an attempt to secure by moral suasion by voluntary action on the part of the lawmaking bodies of the different states. a certain minimum of unifor- mity in legislation, of which many have believed that it can only be ob- tained by a national law The ten dency to employ the shortcut method of national legislation in matters hitherto left to the several states is visibiy gaining headway among our people. Undoubtedly, if the difficulty of amending the constitution had not stood in the way as an almost insur- mountable obstacle, a national divorce law would have long since been en- acted. And this difficulty, in one way or another will surely be overcome, if the method of voluntary agreement which this congress has undertaken to apply shall prove illusory. There are advantages and disadvantages on the side both of national and of state au- thority in matters of social legisls- ton. Many of us are strongly in clined to prefer the slower method of

MORMONS DEDICATE HANDSOME TABERNACLE

SAFFORD, Ariz., March 12.-(Spec- ial Correspondence)-A five years of hard struggle the Latter Day Saints of Thatcher ward were gratified Sun day in having their labors approved by the church .sntIortties and their house of worship dedicated to the name of the Lord.
 Eleven hundred people were pres ent. of whom oyer eco were memVeiu of the Thatcher ward. President Francis NJ.

 Sunday morning the ward people had the right of way in preference to all others. An overflow meeting was begun in the opera house below. and a little later it was determined that by croYding closely together that all could get in the assembly room above and participate in the dedication.
 The music was furnished by the Thatcher choir under the immediate leadership of Joseph Phillips. Prof. William NJ. Claydon having the gen sral supervision

 The San Francisco school board has not as yet rescinded its order requiring that Japanese pupils attend separate schools, and consequently Japan has not been asked formally to consider the terms of a treaty to settle the points of difference between the two nations, the exchanges up to this time having been entirely informal.
