MAIL SERVICE IN
WESTERN ARIZONA
Plea For Daily Stage Between Vieks-
burg and Quartzsite Camp.

Inspired by letters from subscribers
in the Quartzsite district of Yuma
county, The Republican is moved to
call attention to a condition which GER
tainly ought to be bettered and it
would seem might be if properly i'm
pressed on the right parties That is
in connection with the mail service
between Vicksburg and Quartzsite.
From Information furnished it appears
that there should be daily service be-
tween these points instead of the tri-
weekly service on Mondays, Wednes-
days and Fridays. Knowing no better
way to proceeding it is suggested that
the residents of that district take the
matter up with the postoffice depart
ment and they can surely depend on
the support of the Phoenix people in
any way they can help for the BUSH
ness relations between this city and
the Quartzsite district would be ma
terially bettered by a daily service
The Republican for instance, reaches
all points along the A. & c. on the
afternoon of the day of publication.
The stage leaving Vicksburg after the
Phoenix train arrives, reaches uQartz-
site at 10 p. m. and on days where all
connections are made properly a Phoe-
nix morning paper should be delivered
in QuartZsite either the same night or
early the next morning. Under the
present conditions the Friday paper for
instance, cannot be delivered until the
following Tuesday morning. 1t is the
same way with letter mail, the con-
venience to the publisher and the plea
sure of the subscribers to a newspaper
being only minor considerations. It
takes almost week to get letter to
Quartzsite and back, except on certain
days, when Quartzsite is by actual
travel less than day from Phoenix.
Were there onlyg a little handful of
people thereabout to be accommodated
and now and then a dollars worth of
business to be done, one might be
content to accept the situation as i'm
possible of improvement, or too expen- |
sive to pay for any needed reforms. But
the QuartZsite district is a camp of |
considerable present Importance and |
next winter will surely be much great |
er. Within a territory forty miles
square are some 200 men served by |
the Quartzsite postoffice, such service
rs they get, and that statement is |
made without any reflection on the
postmaster or stage men. 1t is merely
hint at the system as Tom Lawson |
would say. 1t is only reasonable to |
suppose that these men would do |

THE BURKE PLAN.

It is not easy to see why the So
called "allies" at the republican ma
tional convention should have been
especially or exclusively interested in
the delegate plan proposed by Repre-
sentative Burke of Pennsylvania.
This plan assigned to each state
a number Of delegates proportionate
to the republican vote in such state
at the last national election. It did
not, for example, allow Alabama as
many delegates as Minnesota, Florida
more than Vermont, Texas more than
Massachusetts,, Louisiana more than
Connecticut. 1t is absurd that Ala
bama, Florida, Texas and Louisiana,
which cannot be of the slightest use
ton day, should have more to say
than Minnesota, Vermont, Massachu-
sets and Connecticut, which are ex-
pected to send republicans to the
electoral college. 1t is manifestly I'M
just that, as figured out by the st.
Louis Globe-Democrat, ION the aver
age there were over 1900 republican
votes cast in the northern and west
ern states in the presidential election
of 1904 for every delegate which they
had in the convention, while each
southern delegate below the old bor
der line represented only 1866 repub-
lican voters"
To correct this evil should have been
the desire of every republican, whether
he was of the "allies" or the Taft
forces. If the proposal laid before
the convention had been considered
on its merits, it would have been
adopted unanimously, for the SIM
pie reason that it is sound in prin- |
ciple and essential to political equity. |
If objection had been made by a re-
publican from such a state as Missis-
sippi, it would have been necessary
only to ask him: How many re-
publican electors can your state
choose at the polls on election day?"
When he answered none" the case
would have been closed.
1t is time to put an end to a con-
dition in which a state which has
no republican voting power is liable
to control the selection of a repub-
lican candidate for president. It is
to be trusted that something like the
Burke plan, which is by no means
new, having been under discussion
for years, will be ordained by the
next republican convention.

FEDERAL BUILDING AT FIVE
POINTS.

To the editor of The Republican:
Sir.-F'ive Points is the natural cen
ter of Phoenix, with the Tempe road
to the east, the Yuma road to the
west, Seventh avenue to the south, the
Black canyon road to the north and
the great Grand avenue stretching six
teen miles to the northwest. into the
heart of the richest section of the
valley, it cannot be otherwise and it
is question of but a few years when
the great commercial enterprises of
the new Phoenix will be gathered
around that point.
In the near vicinity of Five Points
are a number of tracts of dimensions
suitable for the new Federal buildings,
some of which, no doubt, can be Sc
cured at a reasonable price. The at
tention of the officials in charge of the
selection of a site is respectfully di-
rected to this location with the assur-
ance that it will be 'in town" before
the building is completed. Look to
the future. 1910

more postoffice business If they had
better facilities, thus repaying in part
the added expense to the government
for better service.
Moreover, it is a conservative pre-
diction that with the arrival of cooler
weather in the fall and mining condi-
tions that are bound to be better, the
population of that district is almost
certain to double, and if mining con-
ditions, the country over, improve as
the men of best judgment aver they
will next winter, so that Quartzsite
really comes into her own, that ought
to become hustling, wide awake and
growing camp. When ii does the gov
eminent will naturally improve the
service, but it is not asking a great
deal to have 1t improved a little in adj
vance of what seems so nearly GER
tainty, that the better facilities may
stimulate prosperity and development.
One correspondent of The Republican
says: THE Colonial company is
working thirty men on its quicksilver
mine and retort furnaces and its
camp is about sixteen miles away over
the trail, further by wagon. The COM
pany has been turning quicksilver ev-
cry day and putting money into the
property for more than three years
without. halt and deserves a better
mail service to say nothing of many
smaller camps and the transients who 4
pass this way"
There are other companies operating 4
quite extensively and scores of promis-
ing properties in the district that will
be worked just as soon as mining cap n
ital is available.
1t would seem to be desirable for the
Quartzsite people to get up petition
for daily service, or at least six times
a week and If it is given proper sup
port there, there is no question but
hat Phoenix people generally would be
willing to sign a petition of sympathy
With the movement, for beyond doubt
t will stimulate business for Phoenix
merchants also.

ANTHONY CoMsTocK ON GUARD.

ANTHONY COMSTOCK ON GUARD.
Anthony Comstock, whom Bernard
Shaw once nominated for president
of the United States, is on the alert
to prevent the sheath gown from
obtaining a foothold in New York.
The papers there state that he has
announced a determination to arrest
the first woman who wears one in
public, mo matter what her position
in life" Police Commissioner Bling
ham displays more diffidence in I'M
dertaking to regulate questions of
dress for the feminine population,
stating that he will not take the re-
sponsibility of interfering. Mr.. Com
stocks zeal for the welfare of New
York has manifested itself in many
forms. but never more courageously
than in this manner. Even a bold
man might hesitate when confront
ed with such an issue, but it has
no terrors for Mr.. Comstock. His
threat is in reality a challenge, and
we shall be surprised if it is not
recognized as such and promptly ac-
cepted.

HE WOULD LIKE TO KNOW.

To the Editor of the Republican, Sir:
1 would like to ask and haye answer
ed through the columns of your ex-
cellent paper this question:
Why is it that water has a six day
run in the Appropriations canal, and
but ten hours run in the Dutch ditch?
Is it because those taking water from
the former are more than ten times
better. or entitled to so much more
than the users from the latter ditch?

& canada RELIES ON coLEY. CITY Is HosPITABLE
Looks Formidable in the
Olympic Marathon.

NEW YORK. May 23.-It is no wonder.
if there is any truth in reports which are
finding their way out of Canada, that
James f. Sullivan. president of the A. \.
L., has refused to show any great con-
Germ over Tom Longboat's entry in the
Marathon race at the Olympic games in
London in July. The Indian has been a
bugbear to American distance runners
for some years now, and to great many
it looked as though he had only to start
to gallop away with the worlds cham
pionship. That is if he were in anything
like his best form.
Now 1t comes out. unless the dope is
wrong. that he will probably never again
show the speed and stamina that won
the Boston Marathon for him a year ago
in record time. Barred from competition
with amateurs in this country. I.ongboat
has broken trainin-', and. 1t is said. has
been hitting up a pretty lively pace dur
ing the past winter. The Canadians
knowing this. pressed their fight to have
his entry accepted by the British Olympic
committee. not because they thought he
had a chance to win, hut to keen their
real dependence. Tom Coley, out of sight.
With Longboat out Of the way, the only
foreigner deemed good enough to make
Morrissey extend himself is Tom Colay,
another Canadian Indian. who won the
Hamilton road race over a course meas
urlng nineteen ana traction miles, in
remarkably fast time last Thanksgiving
day. 1t is this man. not Longboat. upon
whom Canada depends to repeat Sher-
rings 1906 triumph.
1T is his own team mates. however, from
whom Morrissey expects the strongest OPP
position. John Hayes of the Irish-Amer-
leans and Sydney Hatch. the Chicago
athlete who won the Missouri A. c. Mara
thon. are both at their best this year,
and the man who beats them will come
close to winning according to 'Morrisseys
way of thinking.
If Morrissey is anywhere near the lead

passed he will take lot of beating. He

Strong Pleas for Support of the

KANSAS CITY. Mo. May 23.-Rev. Ira
Landrith president of the Belmont Fe-
male College of Nashville, today made a
powerful plea in support of the Presby-
terrain otherhood at today's session of
the general assembly of the Presbyterian
Church in the United States OF America
The Presbyterian brotherhood movement.
ministerial relief and child labor claimed
the attention of the delegates most of
today.
DIR. Landrth said the evangelization of
the world depended on the success of the
churches in getting the laymen interested
active workers. He said it was es-
pecially necessary to get the young men
in the work.
DR.. G. F. Bull of Scranton, Pa. also
delivered an earnest speech In Support of
the Presbyterian brotherhood movement.
He laid special stress upon the impetus
the movement gives to evangelism by or
saniZing laymen for work.
Rev. John Bushnell of Minnea polls sub
mitted the report of the board of minis
terial relief, which he supplemented by
an eloquent address.
Rev. B. J.. Agnew Of Philadelphia, sec
rotary of the board. said that for the
eleventh year the board was able to re-

BELMONT'S REVERSE TURNS
Races Lost Owing to the Popularity
of the Course.

NEW YORK. May 23.-Running the re-
verse, or English way, at Belmont
Park continues to throw form astray.
This feature is the greatest drawback to
the unbounded popularity of the big rae
ing plant. Were there any other race
track in the Jockey Club circuit at which
the reverse method obtained 1t might be
expected that in the course of time all
the runners would grow accustomed to
answering the pull on the reins, direct
ing their course one way or the other on
the turns. Belmont Park however,
stands ;,lone in this respect, and the nat
ural inclination of runners is to bear to
the left. Some of the most level headed
horses in training have lodged to the
outer rail in races at the big track and
