SAYS SABBATH DAY
MUST Be OBSERVED
CATHOLIC BISHOPS PLACE
BAN ON SUNDAY GAIETIES.
Sacred Concerts are Permitted
Archbishop Does Not Want
Entertainments That Turn Sum-
day Into a Day of Pleasure
Meet at Milwaukee.

Decided disapproval Of Sunday
public entertainments under auspices
of Catholic societies was expressed
Tuesday by bishops of the archdiocese
of Milwaukee in meeting at St.
Francis seminary, Milwaukee. Dances
and theatrical entertainments come
under the ban. Sacred concerts and
religious festivals will be permitted.
Those at the meeting were Arch
bishop Sebastian G. Messmer, Bishop
James Schwebach, La Crosse; Bishop
J. j. Fox, Green Bay: Bishop
Augustin F. Sohinner. Superior, and
Bishop Frederick Els, Marquette,
Mich.
"We want Sunday observed as it
should be, and not desecrated by public
ente, tainments as it has been,'' said
he archbishop. "The Sabbath is the
one day in the week that the people
should hold ascred We do not want
the Catholic societies to foster dances
and entertainments that make Sunday
q day of pleasure. The day is one
that should be Fl ee OF all unholy IN
huences.
"Sacred concerts and religious fes-
tivals are all right on the Sabbath, but
the ordinary public entertainment
should not be held on that day by
Catholic societies. regret to say
that in some places Sunday is regarded
more as day for pleasure and merry
making than as day for religious
worship. This should not be.
"We shall not order Catholic
societies to discontinue public enter
tainments and theatricals on Sunday.
We shall merely express our decided dis
approval of these things. ! think the
societies will not disregard our wishes
when they know we disapprove of such
entertainments. Z G.1.and that Sun
day entertainments be held no more
will hardly be necessary.
The bishops will ask strict obser-
vance of the rules regarding music
in the churches that went into effect
last September. Some churches have
been slow to adopt the new rules.
Some delay was expected, but the
bishops belieS the time has come for
the rules to be adopted by all churches
in the diocese and will request the
clergy to see that the rules are OBJ
served in strict compliance with papal
wishes

Why in the name of all that is just

the state food and dairy commission
give man such chance, instead of
taking undue advantage 70 him, simply
because they have the law on their
side. The Leader believes in the
pure food law, but it also believes in
the integrity and honesty of the

state to live up to the provisions of the
law-if they know how, and 1t is the

then, is the tins to ''soak it to him.

In 1906 the Phoenix Enterprise. which was being forced to the wall. was purchased by the Consolidated Printing and Pub fishing Co. and is now being published as the Arizona Democrat" Two months ago the Consolidated Printing and Publishing Co. through W. E. Kelly, secured an option on the Tucson Star. which optic1 was exercised cn the first day of July. The capita; stock of the Consolidated Printing and Publishing Co. has been increased and the name merged into that oi rbe State Consolidated Publishing Con- pany. Business men of Phoenix, Bis bee, Tucson and Douglas are stock holders in the largest printing and publishing company in the southwest. but the majority of the capital stock is owned by George H. Kelly. W, B. Kelly and A. V. Kelly.
 This is the brief history of the State Consolidated Publishing Co. It is the story of twenty years work in the printing offices of Arizona. So much for the publishers of The Star.

A SLICK POLITICIAN.

It is observed that President Roose- welt in his recent speeches mas made no reference whatever to tariff reform or civil service reform. h the days of his youth, when enthusiasm for the common veal beat high in his breast Mir. Roosevelt was a tariff reformer. Today no one can tell where he stands nn the tariff issme Ynn nan dafv any of his most earnest partisans to say whether he is a revisionist or a stand batter In his earlier days he was an earnest civil service reformer. His first place of a national character was that of a member of the civil service commission. But now you can go to Washington and find that under no administration since that of Grant has the civil service law been so thor oughly ignored as under this one. No president has made more appoint ments to office for purely political purposes or because of personal friendship than he From J. S. Clark son of Iowa, the most cynical of all spoilsmen. down through Bat" Mas terson; Frantz. the governor of Okla homa; the Ohio negro appointed first auditor of the navy; the New Mexi- can. after serving a term in the pen itentiary became a United States marshal, the strange willingness of Mir Roosevelt, formerly an advocate of civil service reform, to make ap- pointments on grounds of personal liking only has been shown.
 It is really amazing that a man who acquired his political strength as a tariff reformer and a civil service re former should be able to desert both issues, and even tC violate all his earlier pledges. yet still hold the sup port of men and papers that once be lieved him sincere. MT. Roosevelt has done it, and it shows that if he is not the must trustworthy politician. he is still the slickest politician this coun- try has ever known.-Buffalo Times.

Arizona has qualified itself for state hood according to all precedent in state making. That should be sufi- cient to entitle the territory to the favor of the presidential square deal" when Mark Smith introduces his state hood bill in the approaching congress. In abandoning the joint statehood bill the president has promised that he will do no wrong to Arizona; will he agree that justice be done to the ter ritory?

THE QUESTION OF
 STATEHOOD ON TOP.

The question of statehood for New Mexico is always on top and the most important before the people. State hood cannot be obtained unless earn est, efficient and thorough work is done by the people of the territory, by the delegate in congress, by the ter ritorial officials and by the news papers. As a matter of fact, with the exception of a few yellow sheets and such as are in the pay of the Hager- man fake reform machine, the news papers of the territory are united upon the question and all favor it.
 It has been announced by President Roosevelt that he has given up the idea of Joint statehood for the two territories and while he has not indi- cated that he favOrs single statehood at this tire, it is believed by those
 
 who are well posted that by proper representation on behalf of New Mex ico, which can and will be laid be fore President Roosevelt by Governor George Curry, by Delegate W. H. An drews and other leading citizens, the president can be induced to favor the passage of an enabling act during the first session of the sixtieth congress. If this is done the matter can be easily submitted ana decided during the year 1908. The reason for such aatin..e.-as .e1a.I.e4.sf..I the objections are pueriIe, weak and seIfish-Santa Fe New Mexican.

rifying noise of hissing, rattling rep tiles is heard This time if is from A distance, only adding wierdness to the scene.
 Above is inferno again, according to the man who has seen this grim grot- to. Bats and horrid things that re semble vampires and make the blood turn to ichor fly by. They, too, are blind The place is indescrtbably ghastly.
 This cave of horrors was discov- cred in the Chiricahuas a few weeks ago by an old prospector and he told of his discovery to Albert Beyersdorf- CT of this city.
 q was searching around at the base of a mountain picking away at rocks here and there, looking for anything that would look like a ledge. Sudden ly my pick struck something that gave out a hollow sound. I struck again and the noise was unmistak able There was at least a Assure be- hind the place. 1 worked around for a few minutes and managed to un- loosen a boulder It required but lit tie leverage to work it out and in minute more it tumbled down the in cline A cave opened to me and l peered inside. It was dark as mid night within save for a few feet in which the sunlight penetrated. Be yond was-I knew not what. But decided I would know. I crawled into the hole, first ascertaining there was a floor of rock; then 1 struck a match. Still I could not see but a little dis tance ahead of me. But I heard. Further down in the darkness I heard the unmistakable hiss of a snake and then a rattle. Then I heard others and still others. Not knowing what lay before me retreated to fit my self better for exploration. I vent on the outside and found a piece Of dried wood that, when set fire, burned brightly. With this and a siX-shOOter in hand I reentered the cavern. Walk ing down some seVenty-fve feet, eX- ercising all the time the greatest pre- caution, I soon came upon a sight that for a time held me as in spell. Around and about me v-sre stalag mites and stalactites that gleamed and glistened in the glare of the torch with a beauty that was bewildering Then the din of the inhabitants of tie cave was set up again. The noise Of the vibrant tails of a thousand rattler5 echoed and reveTberated up and down the cavern. In f-Cnt of me I could sec them scampering away before the light they could not understand. Many were slow and I could see that nc where about their heads were eyes. Moreover they were as white as the lime rock that surrounded them. Bats and larger flying things I did not know fitted about. The place was In describably horrible.
 T withdrew again. did not know what the inky beyon1 held and with those reptiles on the cavern floor and the flying horrors above I feared to advance further into the cavern. Hut if anyone wants to go there I will pilot him to the place. l will not go in the cave again though. I value life too highly. On neighboring hill is little prospect I am working and you don't finS me risking it and what it holds forth for the mysteries of that cave. No more of it in mine.'-Douglas International American.
