Is it not passing strange that
those people who are most ener-
getic in circulating the state
ment that if the proposed bond
issue is carried on Saturday that
the whole town will have to pay
for the work" are a few Main
street property owners who have
fought the sidewalks fpom the
very incipiency-frst on the
ground that the abutting pro-
perty owners were not able to
pay for the work, and now on the
ground that the town will have
to bear 1.-THE expense. If their
contention is true they would be
the people most benefited by tn
election being carried, as their
property would be directly bene--
fitted not at their individual ex-
pense but at the expense of the
town. Let the Main street pro-
perty owners if they do actually
believe that the town at large
will have to pay for the side
walks when the bonds are voted
come out and vote for the bonds
and thereby let the whole people
pay for the work which is to
their direct benefit and profit.

Our Fine Streets.

w. P. Whit1njre, who is here
from Brevard says Henderson
vile has the prettiest sidewalks
of any town in this section, his
his own lovely little city not ex-
cepted. And still some of our
citizens oppose the proposition to
complete the splendid work be-
gun several weeks ago. Re
markable, isn't it? Why not all
pull together in the effort to
make Hendersonville even more
beautiful than it is already?

A Flag Station?

Give us a bar of iron to chew
on! Arm us with repeating rifles
and one of Bill Taft's republican
injunctions! We want blood!
Gallons of it and then some!
Revenge must be ours! Tie
us down with log, chains before
we do something real devilish!
Forget politics, bond issues and
the baby! summon the lawyers
for Hendersonville, beautiful,
beautiful HendersonvilIe has
been insulted and only an abject
and groveling apology from the
Southern Railway may wipe out
the deadly spot!
What is?
Tis this:
J. D. Boyd ordered some flour
from a Tennessee point. Back
came a letter from the milling
company stating that this beau
tiful town, the finest resort in
the south, was, according to their
railroad tariff, a prepay point.
That is that it was only a flag
station, like Zirconia, or Balfoul
for instance, having no station
agent or other officials here.
Now aren't they the mean old
things? When there's Messrs.
Fullbright, and Young, and Will.
Jams, and Hutto, and hslf-a-doz-
en- others working at the station
night and day. When hundreds
of tourists get off the Southern s
trains every day, and leave trunks
piled as high as the station. And
then toinsinuate that Henderson
vile is only a flag station!
Burr! Hold US! Tie us down!
IT'S too much-too much to bear!

They simply got down to busi-

TAFT AGAIN ST THE FIELD.

After Governor Hughes announced he would be candidate for the presl- dential nomination. poll of the United States Senate was taken, not incl1d- ing those who are candidates, and Mr. Hughes received but two votes. while Taft received, 29 and Knox and Fair banks five each. and the others scat tering. Ten Senators were non-com- initial. This shows that the fight in the Republican ranks is Taft against the field, and with the administration doing all it, can to help Taft. even to the extent of appointments to office to influence votes, he therefore should have the inside track. But there is the unknown quantity how the delegates from some of the Southern states will vote, for they will undoubtedly hold the balance of power. Usually the administration is all-powerful with the office-holders in the Southern states. but under the policy of Mir. Roosevelt of eliminating as much as possible the negro vote. there may be a revolt against the favored lilly whites if the negroes prove capable of making their greatly superior numbers count The darkey that can get elected a delegate to the coming convention will be sure of an office if his party is successful, but will probably prefer something equally as good as On for mer like occasions for the proverbial bird in the hand" looks deal better than the promise of an office away off in the bush.

Public Printer Accused of Vio-

WASHINGTON, Feb. 6.-Just as the presidents action in suspending Pub lie Printer. Stillings was being an nounced today, a committee of labor leaders called at the White House and presented to the president resolutions adopted by the Central Labor Union, charging Stillings with violation of the eight hour law in the government printing office, and added: Tt is diff ficult to get witnesses against Still ings for the reason that many of them are employed in the printing office directly under his charge. We hope however, to follow up the oral state ment with affidavits if necessary"
 The president informed the commit tee efsthe action he had already talk en in the case. Resolutions by num- erous labor organizations in various cities charging violation Of the eight hour day, and discrimination against veteran soldiers and widows of sol diers. violation of the civil service law have been submitted to congress and the president.

 The Republican leaders and organs have boasted that they can "be trusted to do things" and that they know what they want and do it" but the panic seems to have unsettled the nerves of the Republican politicians and editors alike. and they are wallow' ing around in a sea of uncertainty with a babel of advisers. all Of whom de clare their plan is the only one that win bring relief.

One of the strongest points of the H. brary is it's large and full collection or scientific and technical periodicals. About one thousand volumes per year are added by purchase, besides the rap idly accommodating files of Arizona newspapers, and the bound volumes of current periodicals.
 The steady growth of the university will require at an early day several new buildings. in addition to the one to be constructed in the coming year There is no pIace on the campus where the whole student body, not te mention invited guests, can be assem-
 bled and made comfortable, without elaborate and costly preparation; an auditorium must soon be provided: the present mill building is wooden make-shift which must be replaced by a permanent and up-to-date structure large enough to accommodate the growth of at least a generation; an- other dormitory and students build ing are urgently needed. The gener- osity of the legislatures of the past, in providing for the necessities of the university, gives good ground for hope that these new demands will be recog- nized and met in the same spirit and by the same wise appropriations.

The calendar year, just closing. has
 been one of gratifying progress to the
 Arizona School of Mines, and to the whole University of Arizona. of which
 it has been an integral and impor- tant part ever since the opening of the
 institution in 1891. The income has
 been increased by more than $S0O0 over the preceding year, and will be still further increased by $7O00 from the United States government for the next fiscal year, the total income will then be about s9S,0O0. The faculty has been enlarged by the addition of three men in newly created positions, Mir. Frank o. Smith, instructor of history and economies, coming from Northewest- ern University at Evanston, H.; Mir. Frank c.
