the natives of Morocco against Christ

the natives of Morocco against Christ ians.
 It will not do, however, to rely with absolute confidence upon that assump ton. Twice in the history of the west, namely under the Moroccan dynastics known as Almeravidcs and Almohadcs, tants of northwest Africa were allayed temporarily by the preaching of n ie. had, and an enormous host of fanatics was launched across the Strait of Gi. braltcr, which restored for n time Mos. lem preponderancc in the lberian pen. insula and checked for centuries the southward advance of the Christian principalitics. It is inconccivablc that what was done then could be done now, in view of the extraordinary improve. ments in the methods and implements of warfare. Emotionally, nevertheless, the Moor is the same that hc ever was; hs is just as ready as ever to sacrifice himself in n jchad; and as his corelig. ionists in Algeria showed under Abd. el-Kader, hc is capable of offering pro longed resistance to European invaders of his country.
 The task which France has under. taken in Morocco may yet prove as diff. Gcult and burdcno,s ny wns tnc nnncx. alton of Algeria.

ARIZONA SHOULD ESTABLISH
 SEPARATE SCHOOL OF MINES

Though the department of mining in the Territorial university at Tucson is ably conducted it is m incontrovcrtiblc fact that Arizona needs q school cn. tirely devoted to teaching the science of mining.
 Mining is too important to be taught as n branch in any state or Ter. ritory, especially in Arizona, one of the leading producers of minerals. This is not matter that concerns the mine-Owners so much as 1t does the young men of Arizona. The mine owners can secure competent men from the eastern schools of mines, that is 1 where practically all of them come from now, but Arizona cannot affor to have these positions filled by i'm ported men while thousands of her own young men nre seeking vacations in which they may make their fortunes.
 A brainicr set than the young men of Arizona may not be found in my part of the country, but 1t takes more than brains to make n mining expert or manager. It takes special instruc. tion, expert and thorough instructions. There is no other profession, perhaps, that SO absolutely requires a technical knowledge if the top of the ladder or even any of the higher rungs are to be reached.
 And there is no profession in which reputation and money are more surely to be made if the man wno enters it h properly equipped.
 1 Consider the almost countless number of mines in Arizona, each one nffording opportunity for expert employment, at tho present time, and yet the develop ment goes steadily on, and not only that hut the field is wider than the Territory of Arizona. An endless army of American mining experts is cease. lessly pouring over the border into Mexico. By companies they go, bat. talions and by regiments, and yet the demand remains unsatisfied, rather does the deficit grow greater owing to the wonderful mineral development of our sister republic.
 Many Arizona young men have gone to the technical schools in the east thus securing n finished education, but the number Is but very small per centage of the number desiring n thor. ough training in the sciences of min. ing. It takes money, whole lot of 1t, to carry ono through course in an eastern school and not every young man can command 1t to be used for this purpose.
 Arizona can render her young men no greater service than to enlarge her plans covering the teaching of mining and establish school of mines, the first and only object of which shall be the giving of thorough instructions in that line.
 Let Arizona establish such an insti. tuition, giving 1t n competent and cap, able faculty, and then appropriate plenty of money for its proper main, tenance and enlargement from time to time and the time will come when the statement that a young man Is grad. uate of tho "Arixona School of Mines" will Do sufficient recommend. stion to secure for him tho best of openings In his profession.

PRESIDENT TALKS STRAIGHT
 TO THE WICKED TRUSTS


 trusts few days ago, in language that Is not hard to interpret. He informed them that he intended to devote the rest of his term in office to making them "bc good," and the country has learned that when Theodore Roosevelt says n thing hc means 1t.
 He declared that the monicd powers, where their money is not being used In corrupt, fraudulent ways, would have every protection and encouragement for legitimate development, but that the trusts that arc attempting to control the commerce of the country and are using their wealth to further interests antagonistic to the welfare of the peo. pie and the nation would have to pay tho penalty as soon as he could get at them. He boldly declared that 1t is n battle between the people and unscru. pulous monied powers and that he is with the people with all the power of the federal government.
 It Is oas of the plaincst and most pointed speeches the president has ever made and will no doubt strike conster. nation and terror to the cvildoers with millions who have attempted to take refuge behind their moneybags. It is m expression of an American who has tho interests of America at heart. Mir. Roosevelt means every word of 1t and the public may expect some lively pro. secutions from the federal government from this time forward.
 It was n tossing of the gauntlet in the faces of the powers that have practically deAcd the president. He completely unmasked them in exposing their ruses to manipulate tho stock market in such manner as to mako 1t appear that it Is the stand of the gov. ernment that has affected stocks, and declared that they need expect no help from the national treasury in such m hour. They have made their bed and must lie upon it or remakc 1t as they please.
 It Is undoubtedly n fact that the cor. porations have done just as the presi. dent says and that nll the scare talk in tho market has been brought about through the carefully laid plans of men who wished to make tho public believe that it was "govcrnmcnt persecution l" of the monicd interests that was caus- ing the trouble. The monied powers of the country know that there is nothing to fear from the federal government SO long as it Is in charge of Theodore Roosevelt or men who will carry out his policies unless they attempt illegal methods. They know that investments are just as safe as ever if they use their money legitimately and all this talk of tignt money because of fear of the president and his antitrust cam. paign Is mere buncomb.
 The president has stood 1t as long as hc could and now he Is out with the bit in his teeth and he will make some of those fellows wish they had benaved from the start and taken their med. icinc.

ORDINANCE TO

contrary, pool selling, is in my mind.
