THE FRIGATE PELICAN.
II Is Small 5ir6 with an Enormous
Stretch ef VIM.

Stretch Of Wing.
The frlgate pelican, or man-of-war
bird, is usually found between the
tropics Although when stripped of its
feathers It is hardly larger than II
pigeon, Vet no man can touch at the
same time the tips OF its extended
wings. The long wing bones are ex.
ceedingly light. and the whole ap-
paratus of air cells Is extremely de-
vcloped. so that Its real weight is vef5
trifling. II flies at great height
above the water ana from that eieya-
ton pounces down ON fish. especially
preferring the poor. prosecuted flying
Ash for its prey.
Under the throat OF the frigate peli-
can is large pouch OF deep red
color. which can be distended with ntr
at the pleasure OF the bird. The pouch
IL larger and of more brilliant red in
the male than in his consort. and the
general plumage Of the female Is not so
bright as that OF the male.
Although its swiftness of wing and
general activity enable II TO snatch a
nsh from this. surface OF the water or
TO pounce upon the flying fish before 1t
can again seek the protection OF its
native element, yet It too often uses
its powers in robbing other birds OF
their lawful prey. 1t is enabled in
some mysterious way 10 find its way
home by night. even though it may be
400 or 500 miles from land. The length
Of the male bird is three feet and the
expanse OF wing eight feet.

The republicans are not making
much Roadway with their financial
Legislation. 1t is not the banking
laws which have caused the recent
financial trouble, but the laws which
have helped a few men to gain pos
session of sufficient money to create
a panic whenever they feel disposed
to take their money out of the chan
Reis of circulation. The high protec-
tive tariff OF the republican party is
largely responsible for the abnormal
accumulation of wealth by a few men
in this country. The republicans are
now telling the people that they will
reform the tariff laws, but not now.
According to Roosevelt, the best time
10 revise the tariff is just after a
presidential election.

GOVERNOR KI55EY
SUPPORTS TAFT.

Governor Kibbey Is out in two
column statement of his views on
what ought to be done by the repub-
licans of Arizona in the matter of
supporting a candidate for president.
He is out strong for Secretary Taft
and assumes that lerge majority
of the republicans of the territory
are of the same opinion. While the
recent interview of Hon. BOP Morri-
son. urging that an uninstructed dele
cation be sent to Chicago, but declar-
ing that if instructions are to be
given for anyone they should be for
Senator Foraker. is not mentioned,
it is evident that the Morrison inter-
view as the cause for the appearance
of the Kibbey interview. The inter
view of Governor kidney appeared
in the Arizona Republican.
The two interviews constitute the
declaration of war which win be en-
gagged in with more or less fury be.
tween now and the time for naming
the republican delegates from Arizona
1t is the same here as in other sec
tons of the country-"the field"
against Taft Those who are for
Taft will contend for an instructed
delegation and those for ''the field"
will stand for an ininstructed delega-
ton.
We are inclined to believe that the
assumption of Governor Kibbey that
Foraker has no possible chance of
being nominated is going it rather
strong against the Ohio senator. The
outlook now is lthat the republican
national Convention will result in a
deadlock and in that cas-. Foraker
might have at least a chance of win
ming.
Governor Kibbey statess that Taft
is friend of Arizona and that he
would favor separate statehood for
this territory. 1t is possible that Taft
could be relied upon not to propose
ioint-statehood for Arizona and New
Mexico, as the failure of Roosevelt to
bring that calamity upon the terri
tory would not be encouraging to
Taft or anyone else TO again propose
it but we would much rather trust
tried friend than one who had never
been put to the test
The governor says that the terri
tory with only two votes will cut very
little figure in the nomination of
president and that long before the
convention meets Taft will have a
majority of the delegates; in that
case there would be no harm done
should the republicans of Arizona de-
clare their allegiance TO the man who
did so much in the fight which re-
suited in saving orr territory from
joint statehood.
Cochise county promises to bee
scene of much energy in the forth
coming struggle in the republican
party. This is one of the largest
counties in the territory. 1t is not
known just who will come TO the
front as a champion of the governors
contention in this county. Certainly
there has been no expression for Taft
so far in this part of the territory.
R. A. Kirk, chairman of the republi-
can county central committee, more
than six months ago declared his
friendship for Foraker and directed
attention to the obligation resting on
the territory to the Ohio senator. The
opposition to the Kirk rule in this
county will most likely be led by NJ.

A Bark For Barker.

for the waste paper basket He open

appointed. 1t was prose. 1t ran as
follows:
"a man named Barker had q dog
that barked, so he called 1t Barker be-
cause it barked and because his own
name was Barker. So the man was
Barker, and the dog that barked was
Barker The man didn't bark, al
though his name was Barker. Barker
and Barker went for walk, and
Barker barked-that is. dog Barker.
not man Barker. In fact. dog Barker
barked so much that man Barker said:
Barker, don't bark SO often. You new
