MILTON anniversary
CELEBRATED LAST NIGHT

! The three hundredth anniversary of
the birthday If the great English poet,
John Milton, which was celebrated
throughout the English-speaking world
Yesterday, was observed locally by the
presenting of a splendid program of his
works and papers prepared concerning
him and his life and influence, given
at the Central Union church last night.
the program being in charge of the
president and faculty of Oahu College.
Principal Fits, of the Oahu Prepare
tory school. presided in place of Pres
ident Griffiths, who is on vacation, and
was assisted especially by the Oahu
College glee club, Of forty voices. This
glee club was led by Miss Rogers, Miss
Sheffield presiding at the piano.
The program was opened by the sing
ing Of the glee club and audience, fol-
lowed by the reading of Milton s para
phrase of the saith Psalm. Principal
Fits then read a sketch of the life of
Milton, unusually well done. short but
pithy and of great interest. Miss Fos-
ter, head of the literary department of
the college, presented a paper on the
literary qualities of Milton s works.
which was followed by a recitation of
the poets sonnet on the Religious
Memories of Mrs. Thompson. showing
how Milton. even in the midst of the
stirring political excitements of his
middle life, events in which he took
an active part was moved by a deep
religious spirit.
An essay prepared by Miss Alexander
was then read by Miss Edith H. Smith,
the subject being Milton s activity in
the political and ecclesiastical life of
the Puritan era. Both the treatment of
the subject and the manner in which
the essay was read deserved the APP
plause that was given them. Alfred
Young. of PunahOu, then read the SON
net by Milton on his blindness, followed
by the glee club.
Another excellent paper was that
read by Miss Cox, her subject being the
significance of Paradise Lost, |
the last number on the splendidly ar
ranged and we'll carried through pro
gram being a reading from Milton S |
hymn on the Morning of Christ S Ma |

RAILROADS FORGED ID LOWER EXPENSE
Paxton, Superintendent Motive PowerI Tells of Business
 Depression,

Thomas Paxton, superintendent oI motive power on the Fl Paso & South. western railroad, was in the city tlrs morning from his headquarters in El Paso. Speaking of the closing of the railroad shops at Fl Paso ne stated that work had been stopped there for the present because q lack of work for the machinery and men. He stated that aside from hauling the ore and coke for the Douglas smelters the railroad was doing very little business.
 When it is remembered that the shops at Fl Paso at one time gave employment to seven hundred men it can be seen how the road has lost business during the last six months. A year ago the Southwestern was em. barrassed because of it's inability to promptly handle all the business coming to it; today half the rolling stock of the company is idle and consequently the shop force has been practically eliminated at Fl Paso and at the Douglas shops the force does not amount to more than sixty per cent of what it did a year ago; the men employed are only working five days in the week.
 The Southwestern railroad is not an exception to the prevailing co1di- tion on the otfer lines throughout the country, according to the daily newspaper reports.

THE EDMUNDS LAW.

According to J. L. B. Alexander, the learned United States attorney of Arizona, by the grace of Theodore Roosevelt, a new interpretation is to be placed on the Edmunds law, says the Graham Guardian. a
 The learned expounder of statutory laws declares that the Edmunds law was enacted only to suppress prac- tices alleged to be carried on by peo- pie of the Mormon faith; the law was never put on the statute books to prevent Gentiles from committing the same practices, as long as the Gentle did not commit the acts openly. In other words, this learned attorney draws a distinction and declares that he will prosecute no one under the Edmunds law, unless it be a Mormon, ar a fragrant" and notorious" viola tion by Gentle. and even then only fin cases where the local officers have

DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION.

The democratic convention will be held in Tucson on May 2S for the pur- pose of electing six delegates to the national convention to be held in Denver during the early part of the month of July. The convention will be one of the largest that ever as sembled in the territory because of the large increase in the democratic vote two years ago. In that eonyen- ton Cochise county will be entitled to forty-seven votes according to the apportionment. almost 25 per cent of the total number of delegates from the entire territory.
 Cochise county will be entitled to one of the six delegates without ques- ton. The other five delegates should be selected from the other strong dem ocratic counties in the territory and they should be chosen from those who have been prominent in the work of maintaining the party strength in Ari- zona and in the several counties of the territory. Already several demo crats have been mentioned for these positions, but none should be seriously considered except those who can show call on the position because of their fealty and activity in uphold ing the principles of the democratic party and winning victories for its candidates in Arizona. No party can gain strength by neglecting the party workers in giving to those who have been inactive, if not positively oppos- ing the candidates of the party, in the hope of bringing them to it's hearty and complete support. Such course always does more harm than good.

wilfully neglected to prosecute A Gentle might violate the provisions of the law as long as he did so se- retly. and not in public.
 The construction placed on the law by the learned attorney is surprising and certainly cannot be taken ser ioGsly We know that Mexicans, com ing out from Mexico, who were prac- tically violating the Edmunds law, were not prosecuted because they lived together as man and wife, and charitable view has always been taken of such cases.
 In the present case the violators did openly offend the decency of the community and should have been prosecuted to the full extent of the law. The fact that they were Gentiles did not give them extra privileges or a right to violate the law, and the learned attorney should have done his duty.

has hundreds of worthy and able men to send to Chicago. It would be hard ly possible to select a delegation among those who are entitled to be considered who would not personally favor William Jennings Bryan and vote for his nomination in the ab- sence of positive instructions not to do sos The almost unanimous senti- ment in Arizona is for Colonel Bryan and the six votes from the territory will be cast for him at Denver. Let the votes be cast by men who have become prominent in party work and who have won honor by devotion to the interest of the party and party candidates in Arizona.
 Four years ago Cochise county was accorded the privilege of naming a delegate to the national convention at St Louis. The Hearst supporters were in control and named Jack Fay Tor, at that time foreman in the Cop per Queen mines at Blsbee Taylor was entitled to the position for DO other reason than that he was an ac> tive political worker in Bisbee.
 Let us send men to Denver who have Loyalty fought the democratic battles in Arizona in the past
 There are hundreds of such men in Cochise county, so it will be an easy matter to choose one when the time comes.

8OURKE COCHRAN, DEMOCRAT.

The attempt by Tammany to read Bourke Cochran out of the, democrat is party is a ludicrous performance, says the Washington Post. It is no reflection upon Mir. Cochran, but it is a decided reflection upon the intelli- gence of Tammany. That organiza- ton, and not Mir. Cochran, will lose by a separation of their activities. Tammany says in effect; MT, Cock ran is not a democrat" Mir. Cockran replies: q have written all the def nitions of democracy accepted and ap- proved by Mir. Murphy during the last four years. Which of them does he now repudiate. and on what grounds? Surely he cannot wish us to infer that he is incapable, as his critics as- sert, of understanding the significance of expressions which he had applaud ed publicly
 This gifted public man, says the Post, suffers, perhaps, as other public men have suffered, from the dispar- aging envy of lesser men and the ob- tuseness of those who stand too close to him to appreciate his true measure. This man is the peer of the great of other lands. He is fit to stand in parliament and share the labors of the men who rule England. He could cross the camel and address the Corps Legislatif in its own tongue, without loss of power. or eloquence. He is broad enough to give credit to the opposition when it accomplishes a worthy task, and able enough to furnish and frame the ideas that save his own party from extinction. He is accorded a high place by men com petent to judge of party leaders. By members of the senate he would be welcomed as an addition to the in- tellectual force of that body In pri- yate society a delightful and brilliant companion, and in public life a demo- crat whose voice is always heard with eagerness. If his severed relations with that organization threaten to retire him to private life, the country at large will hope that another dis trict will quickly lay claim to his ser vice and great ability.
