SATURDAY. MARCH :
MODERN VS. ANCIENT STORES

Long ago did the theory tha people "inherit their stores"-pat ronize stores from family habit and tradition explode. In tho good old days of the pioneer the people used to trade with the merchant who had the oldest store in the neighborhood, simply be- cause it had been a custom witt their forefathers, but that day has long since passed, especially in thi- modern community. Now, insteae of living on it's 'inherited" busi ness, as was formerly possible, |, store-no matter how long it has been in the community-must be conducted along modern lines. ol sink into obscurity among its more up-to date rivals. It used to b. possible to conduct a store, the . furniture of which consisted chiefly of we'll whittled pine boxes; witt an inch of tobacco spit on the floor and without a line of newspaper advertising; but that day is gont forever. The store that makes 8 success at this stage of the game is the store that occupies neat. we'll lighted building, and offers for sale goods that modern people want to buy, and by appealing to thes' modern people by means of per sistent, intelligent and modern ad vertising. This condition has been brought about by competition and by rapidly growing civilization. The old kind of store may have been all right in the unprogressive days of yore, but in these modern times of strenuous business com. petition it is as much out of place as a regiment of soldiers armed with fintlocks would be in a con- f1ict with another armed with Krae Jorgensons.

Santa Fe Preparing for Great Rush

Wesley Merritt, industrial com missioner for the Santa Fe, passed through Williams Friday of last week, on his way east Mir. Merritt, expects a great rush to the west this spring, of people of the middle class, because of the general de- pression which has effected the overcrowded sections of the east much more than it has the west. He believes that Arizona will be- come the home of hundreds of these homeseekers.
 Williams may as we'll get her portion of these new citizens, as not, and can do so by appearing attractive to the thousands of eyes that will gaze upon the town this spring, with contemplation.

Will Cut Out the Booze

The Pullman company of Chicago has decided that 1t will discontinue the sale of liquors on board its cars in all parts of the United States
 This rule will be put in force as soon as the stock of wet goods now on hand has been disposed of with out loss.
 The cause of the order is the numerous states through which the Pullman people operate their sleep ing cars, that have gone dry dur ing the past year.
 As the Pullman company has been one of the largest buyers of wet goods in the country, the order abolishing the sale of drinks on the trains is one of the greatest stcrs toward prohibition that has yet been made.

LARGE SUM TO BE SPENT

Almost half million dollars is in course of being expended by the territory of Arizona for the inn provement of the, different terri torial institutions, and this vast sum, bsoiutely due to the acts of the administration of Governor Kihhey, will be raised by taxation without the necessity of increasing the rate of taxation in Arizona a single cent.
 This is a rather strong derlara, ton, but it is so, for the policy of Governor Kibbey in increasing { he taxation of the mines of the ter ritory and other property not adequately taxed, has increa ased the sum received as taxes to such an extent that 1t is prs-lhle to make all the impr"v. n,ents con- templated and auih"ri1ed by the legislature without either issuing any bonds or adding one cent to ' the rate Of taxation.
 The sums to be expended are as follows:
 For the University of
 Arizona .. $5O,OOO For the Asylum for Insane 50,OO0 For the Industrial School,
 Benson. ............... 17,5OOI For the Normal School,
 Flagstaff ........... 35,OOO For the Normal School, : Tempe, 6o,OOo For the prison ....... 250,OOO

According to the theory of an eminent Russian writer, the inven- tion of weapon that will discharge a bullet noiselessly ought to go far toward making war impossible. With noiseless wea pons and smoke less powder war would be too ter rible to contemplate. Men can be induced to march against enemies they can see, but it will be hard to persuade soldiers 10 attack unseen enemies whose presence will not be known until their bullets are felt. Warfare under such circum- stances would be a succession of mbuscades. with all their demoral- izing results and could not last long.

TUCSON GETS CONVENTION
April lS is the Date Fixed by the
 Committee.

Tucson, Feb. 29.-(Special to the
 Phoenix Republican, -The execu. tive committee of the republican territorial committee met here to. day for the purpose of fixing the time and place of holding the ter ritorial convention for the appoint ment of delegates to the national republican convention. Tucson was chosen for the loca ton and the date of the convention will be April 18th. It was agreed by the com mittee that Phoenix should be given the convention for the nomi- nation of delegate to congress.
 The vote for location was as fol- lows: For Tucson, Sturgis of Pima William Griffith, proxy from Pinal [; H. B. Tenny. proxy from Yuma c. I. McReynolds, proxy from Co., chise; George Mauk. proxy from Santa Cruz; J. F. Cleveland, Ora nam; Ned Creig ghton, proxy from Maricopa.
 For Phoenix: E. s. Clark, Yava pal and proxies from Mohave and Apache; J. F. Cleveland, proxies from Gila and Coconino. w. NJ. Clark, Navajo.
 MT. Creighton, in voting for Tue son, was bound hy the terms of his proxy, and was not impelled by his own inclinations. The appoint ment was based on one delegate for each fifty votes or fraction of more than twenty votes cast for Hon. w. F Cooper for delegate to Congress two years ago. On this oasis the following representation has been figured out for the larger counties: Maricopa, 31; Cochise, 30; Pima, 26; Yavapai, 2l; Gila, II; Graham, 17.
 The manner of choosing the dele gates to the territorial convention will be such as the various counties nay select, by primaries or mass conventions.
 The meeting was quite harmoni- ous. Aside from the contest for the location os the convention. there was only one other expression of difference of opinion. That was over a resolution by c. l. Me Reynolds. of Cochise. providing for the selection of delegates to the territorial convention by direct primaries. Objection was made by Attorney General Clark, who said that he would not dare go back on his county after having given his assent to project for the perpetua tion of himself in office George Mauk replied that the ob- ject of the resolution was to avert the danger Mir Clark seemed to fear Chairman. Penney at this point directed the discussion iirI another direction.
 The question of the instruction or the non-instruction of delegates was not broached during the meet ing nor was there any mention of preferences among any of the can- 1idates for the presidential nomi- nation
 It was learned that in the morn ing a telegram was received bv l George Mauk from Frank Hitch cock, manager for Secretary Taft, urging him 10 secure an expression of the committee in favor of Mir. i Taft. There was also received yes terday by National Committeeman 5turges letter from Mir. Hitchcock. )f the ga me tenor. The suggestion. | however, was not acted upon.
