noon and the committee will resume it's canvass this morning about nine o'clock. The sums subscribed by part ies signing the paper were from 5000 down.
 The paper sets forth. that whereas the United States congress had appro- priated $140000 for the purpose of se- curing a site and erecting a United States government building in the city of Phoenix, and whereas the United States government has called for of fers of sites for said building. Now therefore, the undersigned each for himself and9not one for the other and each of us for and in consideration of the subscriptions and promises there to made by each of the subscribers hereto. hereby subscribe and agree to pay the amount set opposite the names of each of us respectively, toward the purchase of the east half of block ninety-three of the City of Phoenix, commonly known as the Y. M. c. A. block, for a site for the erecting of said government build. ing. The subscriptions are due and payable to H. J. McClung trustee after the selection by the government of said site. Members of the committee thought that they would not have great difficulty in raising the amount.
 The Y. M. c. A. building will, if this carries be erected Non the west side, and the portion of the block not used by buildings and athletic grounds be made into Q park.

that some people claim that he owes them money which he does not, and which he does not wish paid. Many people owe him money that he says he never will get and does not give their names.
 He wishes all of his plays to be- come the property of the Actors So- ciety of America New York City, and a number of them among which is "Tobe Hoxie' which is already produc- ing a handsome income.
 After his debts are paid, he leaves the balance of his property to his mother and requests that on her death, twO-thirds of what she received from him, be given to Edwin NJ Lam- son and one-third to his other broth CT, Frank G. Lamson. The reason giv- en for giving Edwin NJ, two-t thirds, is that it was through Edwin's Ms. eff forts that he secured most of this property.
 The inventory shows about $16,000 worth of real estate in this county. The value of his New York holdings is unknown.

PHoENTx, ARIZONA. JUNE IT, 1908.
THE SOUTHERN DELEGATES.


 Nothing could be fairer than the proposition now before the nationa convention committee on rules to re- adjust representation in the conven- tion. A similar motion has frequent ly been offered in other conventions but it has never been prosecuted Senator Quay in the convention of 1900 introduced such motion but it was withdrawn by him at the time when he had said he desired to be heard in relation to it. 1t was learned afterward that it had not been offered in good faith, but to force Senator Hanna to consent to the nomination of Theodore Roose- welt for vice. president It had that effect, for MT. Hanna was deeply in representation That move of MT. Quay's is regarded as one of the most strategic in the history of conven- tion politics, and when it was fully explained some years after, increased the reputation of the distinguished Pennsylvanian for far -sightedness.
 Such a motion is naturally direct ed at the south, whose representa- tion in republican conventions isl greatly out of proportion From some of the southern states delegates are chosen on 9 basis of 157 votes, whereas, in the northern states the basis is sometimes as high as 15,00o.
 The southern states can in nowise contribute to the furtheripg of the work cut out in conventions, and it has sometimes happened that the in- fluence of the southern delegations has aided in the cutting out of work impossible of performance. That was notably the case in 1892.
 There is no other large section of the country under the domination of officeholders. There may be districts here and there so dominated, but the entire solid south may be easily and completely controlled from the White House or the departments at Wash l ington.
 The less, therefore, of southern in lfuence in republican conventions, the better, and, beside, in the interest of fairness alone, the states which elect | republican presidents should be given | a proportionate voice in the choosing of nominees.

finds his weight and his importance cumbersome to himself. He enters the convention hall weighing ton. But when the "tumult and the shout ing dies" after the vote is counted or the roll is called, he is found to be feathery and even downy. The scales would doubtless show the man to be of the same number of pounds and ounces as before. That would only prove that the scales were defective.
 From all this we learn that it is not necessary for an inhabitant of the earth to move to Mars or Venus to lessen his weight. Let him wan der slightly outside of his accus- toned sphere, and the trick is turned Let him roll in the dust of political defeat, and he ceases to be a subject of gravitation.

LIMITATION.

The Republican has a valued cor. respondent in Boston, MT. Charles Meyers Holmes, who occasionally favors it with original views on a great variety of subjects. In a con- munication which came to hand yes terday, MT Holmes writes:
 Tt is rather interesting as well as entertaining to compare the residing in these United States with his weight were he dwelling on some other planet. Say that such a citi- zen weighs 150 pounds hereabouts then he would weigh only 57 pounds upon Mars. Upon Venus, his weight would amount to 1241k pounds. Upon Jupiter, 3971z pounds. On Saturn, considerably less than on Jupiter-177 pounds; whilst upon the moon a 150- pound individual would become a pigmy of 22k pounds!"
 This, as MT. Holmes says, is en- tertaining as well as interesting, the more so since it leads one along a collateral line of thought and brings us to the conclusion that other than planetary location makes a great difference in our weight. For instance, we see a man vaunting on the street corner of his prowess, a man perhaps of 175. A few minutes later, in the face of an importunate creditor, the same man quails to, say, 100 pounds, and if we followed him to his home, into the presence of his wife, the real man of the house." we discover that he is of no weight at all He has the embonpoint, the outward appearance, but is entirely without avoirdupois.
 After all, the weight of the aver age man, of a large majority of men, depends upon location. In his office, in the circle of brow beaten friends. he is ponderous. In a larger circle, 1 he is airy and inconsequentiaI.

The farmers of the Wilson district have well under way a movement for the bringing of all parts of the county into closer relation. All this tends more or less directly toward cooperation, and cooperation is what has been needed here more than any thing else unless, possibly, water, which, by the way, we have plenty of now.

NOAH PARTS WITH HIS CASH.
Confidence Men Produce a Pocket.
book and Century" Note.

In the hope of receiving 1888 1-3 with
out having to do even the smallest amount
of work for it. Noah Slaughter. colored,
living at 533 New Jersey avenue north
west, gave up $45 of his hard-earned cash
to an unidentified colored man yesterday
afternoon. Now he wants the police to
arrest the swindler and recover his money
but the officers can give him no assurance
that he will receive a cent of it. 1t
was Washington's birthday anniversary,
and Noah thought he was in luck when
the opportunity was given him to enter
a combination which would net few
unclaimed dollars. thinking it was case
of "findin's keepin's."
He was strolling down 9TH street at a
pace that was calculated to keep his blood
stirring sufficiently to protect him from
the cold when strange cOlored man ap-
preached him and engaged him in CONVEX
Sation.
The stranger discussed the question of
holding reunion of the men who had
been employed by the Crawford Paving
Company. making the suggestion that
there was a good time ahead for them and
lucrative employment as we'll. Anything
like a new position or good time appealed
to Noah, and he became enthusiastic at
short notice, but before he had time to
discuss the double proposition at length q
third man appeared upon the scene. He
stopped in front Of Noah and his COM
panion long enough to pick up pocket
book. Then the man who was with Noah
had something to say about the find and
his partner I'm the swindle naturally fell
in line with his suggestion.
Il saw you pick up that pocketbook,"
said the stranger who had stopped Noah
to tell of the reunion"
The man who had picked up the book
made no effort to deny that he had been
lucky, producing what Noah thought
looked like hundred-dollar bill. He
was willing to share the money
with the two men with the dis
tinct understanding that nothing was
to be said about their find. It be-
came necessary for the men to get the bill
changed. and in order to do SO the man
who found it said he would go with the
others to the store of his employer. To-
gether the three men went to eth and NJ
streets and the man who found the pock-
etbook went to a store.
To-day is a legal holiday" he said to
the two men upon his return, land my
boss did not have the change to spare"
1t then became necessary for the man
who had picked up the book to borrow
from his friends. and Noah produced $40
The three men strOlled along 18th street
until 1t was found convenient to enter an
other store. Noah was left waiting on
proximity to the store door a long time
Becoming alarmed. he hurried to police
headquarters, told the story of the trans
action and said he was anxious to. get
back his money.
He gave descriptions Of the two men
and the police are making an effort to
find them.
