While the railroads are being har- ried about discrimination in freight charges, etc; says an exchange, the
 express companies seem to have free hand to impose any charge that the lratfic will stand. Not unfreQuently
 the cost of expressage exceeds the goods carried. Seventy-five cents per 100 is the understood rate for mer- chandise under 400 miles, yet pack age weighing 1T pounds but of small bulk was charged S1.10 to St. Louis from this place, while exactly the same sum was exacted for carrying a box of shipping tags, weight cen pounds I35 meles. There seems to be no remedy for this legalized robbery as the president of one of the express companies is an United States senator.

DEROSITT'S BILL
President Miller, of St. Francis Leyee Board, Speaks in Opposi-
 tiOn to it.

Little Rock, April S.-President W. B. Miller, of the St. Francis levee board appeared before the levee com mittee of the senate tonight in behalf of those who are opposed to the pas sage of the bill introduced by Senator DeRositt, of St. Francis county. re- quiring all members of the board of directors of the district to own forty acres of land in the basin. He argued that the measure was mere political move in order to legislate men out of office. James A. Bush, treasurer of the board, supplemented the remarks of MT. Miller.
 Senator DeRositt i'll reply cited the instance of Fletcher Roleson, as a member of the board who paid no taxes in the district. He declared the people had been dissatisfied with the board service Jetf Davis turned into a political machine six years ago.
 Senator Harrison. of Osceola, and Senator Patterson, of Augusta, were opposed to the bill, and an amend ment was introduced by the former practically emasculating the measure.
 The further hearing on the bill was postponed until Wednesday evening" when the committee will vote on the measure.

l have been very great sufferer from the dreadful disease, rheuma- tism, for number of years. I have tried many medicines but never got much relief from any of them until two years ago, when l bought bot tie of Chamberlain's Pain Balm. found relief before 1 had used all of one bottle, but kept on applying it and soon felt like a different woman. Through my advice many of my friends have tried it and can tell you how wonderfully it has worked Mrs. Sarah A. Cole, 40 S. New St, Dover, Del. Chamberlain's Pain Balm is liniment.

The boy with inventive genius should be encouraged. There are a thousand and one things which might be invented by most any bright boy, and there is no limit to the possibili- ties. We read an item the other day which says that Mayor s. D. McGnl and Express Agent Pettus, of Lewis vile, Arkansas, have applied for an unique patent. The patent is simply a stick of sealing wax, with wick in- serted in the middle which does away with lamp for melting wax" This happy thought, simple as it is, will probably be the means of bringing great riches to the inventors.

There is one thing that can be said of the Twentyfourth legisla- tive assembly without fear of con
 tradiction, and that is that they are, to a man, Arizona boosters
 The Phoenix Gazette says 1t has interviewed many of them. and it takes pleasure in noting that there is not a pessimist among them. They all believe in the territory, believe that it is destined to become one of the greatest con- monwealths in this great union of states, and are working with the grea test of enthusiasm to that end
 No matter what may be said f the lawmakers politically, otherwise they. like other loyal Arizonans. always have a good word to say for their own particular section and the territory at large. This sort of q spirit, if persisted in, will mean much to Arizona. in fact, will prove her making. It is the bright side of the territory that should be shown to the world and not what litr!e of the dark side that is to be found.
