Taft at Chicago? 1t will have
no effect whatever. Already the
country is aware of what his en-
emies were trying to do. The
convention will nominate him all
the same. The howl is a failure.
The lesson to be learnt from
Grants weakness is that of shun-
ming the formation of bad habits.
They are easily acquired, but
hard to abandon. When we see a
man of strong mind, education
and military position of Captain
u. S. Grant becoming a victim of
strong drink we have warning
of the danger of tippling, of ev-
en- what is called moderate drink
ing. There is death in the in
toxicating cup.
1t is true, General Grant es-
capped the thraldom of strong
drink, conquered his weakness
but for every one that so escapes
hundreds go on from bad to
worse, and eventually go into a
drunkard's grave. Therefore,
beware!

Hebb Reunion.

The annual reunion of the Hebb
family was held at the hospitabie
home of J. H. Hebb at Haviland,
Ohio, June 7, 1908. Owing to
the distance and time of trains,
the members of the family to the
number of thirtyeight arrived
Saturday at l pm, leaving on
Monday. The usual sumptuous
reunion dinner was served, in
which all took an active part.
Ice cream was served during the
two days.
At 1:3O pm. the meeting was
called to order by the president,
J. H. Hebb. A short time was
spent in singing and speaking
and officers were elected for the
ensuing year, after which VIM:
Rohr delivered an address on re-
miniscences of the Civil War.
He was a comrade of the late
Jacob Hebb of the gallant gath
Ohio Volunteer Infantry for three
years. In his address, telling OF
his association with the late Jac-
OBJ Hebb, the father of the fami-
ly, he related more of Mr.. Hebb's
services as soldier than any OF
the family had ever learned from
Mr.. Hebb himself, as he was a
very conservative man and never
took any delight in narrating any
of his experiences as a soldier
His address was full of interest
to all members OF the FAMILY.

WASHINGTON LETTER.

Preparations for the annual
summer exodus of executive en-
ployes are going on at the White
MUdse and in a few days thef first
consignment of Office furniture
will be shipped to Oyster Bay,
where the Presidents cottage at
Sycamore Hill is now being put
in readiness for his arrival there
on the afternoon of June 20, and
the secretaries, clerks, telegraph
operators and messengers are
closing arrangements for accom-
modations.
Another Iowan we'll established
in the public estimation is being
constantly mentioned as a can
didate for the vice presidency
Senator Dolliver, and Senator
Allison's victory has given re-

of Dolliver for the second place
on the ticket. 1t is generally
admitted that Senator Delivers
eloquence went far. toward his
colleagues success, and this adds
another forceful reason for his
selection for second place; an
other reason is his absolute 10y

still another is his fitness for the

next House.
Secretary Taft has assured his
friends that if his wishes were
consulted he would be satisfied
with nothing short of a Roose-
welt platform one which would
not only indorse those of the
Presidents policies already ap-
proved by Congress, but those,
also, which Mr.. Roosevelt has
promulgated for the guidance of
the executive branch of the gov
ernment and others which he has
recommended for legislative ac-
ton. Secretary Taft is prepared
to stand on a pretty strong tariff
revision plank, and he wants tar
iff revision as soon as it is prac-
ticable to accomplishit. He has
expressed satisfaction with the
tariff plank of the Ohio platform
this year, and it is probable that
the Ohio plank will form the ba-
sis for the national tariff declara-
ton.
There is still much speculation
regarding the craftsmanship of
the national committee, and some
of the political prophets have
thoughtfully arranged that the
place be assigned to Senator
Crane, of Massachusetts. Sec
retary Taft and his immediate
advisers are saying nothing a.
bout the national chairmanship
at this time, but to those who are
fairly close to them, the selection
of Mr.. Crane for the post of
general commanding the for
ces", does not look like a partic
ularly shrewd guess.
A somewhat sensational story
gained circulation in Washington
last week to the effect that Uni
ted States marines were to guard

facts are that the Secretary of
the Navy has ordered 18O ma
rines to the isthmus to replace
like number whose term of two
| years in the tropics has expired.
The marines who go to the isth-
mus will not take with them any

toned the we'll known weak.
ness" of U. S. Grant long before
he had become the great warrior.
This weakness was a fondness
for the intoxicating cup. 1t had
grown on him so much that ne
had to resign his captaincy in the
army and become a private citl-
zen-a farmer.
This deplorable fact was well
known to all readers of Ameri-
can history. But because Sec
retary Taft recited the well
known facts of the case there
was howl made against the in
discretion, if not the sacrilege, OF
the War Secretary. Of course,
the fact that Secretary Taft is a
leading candidate for the presi-
dency made the hostile writers
elated at the chance of saying
something to injure the chances
of the great secretary for the
presidential nomination. Had ne
not been a candidate his remarks
at the grave of General Grant
would have been unnoticed, just
as the histories of the times elic-
it no remarks. When a man be-
comes a candidate for the presi-
dency he puts himself under the
limelight and his minutest faults,
even imaginary faults, are OBJ
served very closely. They watch
him.
Why did Secretary Taft allude
to the "weakness'' mentioned?
Certainly not to cast reflections
on the character and fame of the
great national hero. The Secre-
tary was much distressed be-
cause some papers construed his
remarks to that effect. The War
Secretary yields to no one in his
admiration of the heroic charac-
ter of the great warrior Of our
late war.
Why allude to the weakness?
It was simply to exemplify the
conquest of Grant over himself,
which the War Secretary calls a
great victory, and the foundation
of all his subsequent victories on
the battlefield. General Grant
was a man of stubborn resolve,
when he made up his mind to do
anything he stuck to it until it
was accomplished. He would
fight it out on that line if it took
time and patience. Thus he won
the victory over himself, and al
so his great military successes
He persisted.
It is well known that a habit
once formed is hard to break
from. It becomes a sort Of sec
ond nature, oftentimes stronger
than the first nature, especially
in men of strong nature. Alex
ander the Great could conquer
armies, but failed to conquer tn
drink-habit, and died premature
", victim of strong drink. l
takes a resolute man to escap
the yoke of a bad habit, AM
thousands die victims to tn
drink-habit rather than break OIL
It was to the credit Of Genera
Grant that he had the frmneas
of mind to quit drinking when h
found himself SO situated as t
require a clear mind and stou t9
heart. His weakness controlle
him when he had little to do t
engage his military talents, br
when he became general IN !. II I
army his weakness was shake
off. This argues resolve an
greatness of mind, the ver
+h;nO that Secretary Taft wishe
to illustrate.

Surveying Charges

SIR
AS a news item l have to ad-
wise you that the charge made
by me for office work and station
cry in connection with the sur
vey Of mining claims where they
are surveyed in a group, will be
reduced from and after July 1,
1908, the new schedule of charg-
es being as follows:
For office work to be performed
in the Surveyor-GeneraPs Office
IN Arizona, in connection with
the survey OF mining claims.
For a single lode claim, $4,000
For a group of lode claims,
$4,000 for the first claim and
$25. 90 for each additional claim.
For each millsite surveyed in
connection with a lode claim,
$500.
For millsite surveyed indepen-
dent of a lode claim, $4,000
For a single placer claim $500
For group of placer claims
containing both lode and placer
claims, $4,000 for the first lode
claim, and $500 for each ad-
ditional lode claim, and $500
for the first placer claim, and
$25 90 for each additional placer
claim.
All these estimates are subject
to increase should the Surveyor
General find that the first deposit
is not sufficient to cover the Of
flee work.
also have to advise you that
OF the fund appropriated by Con-
gress for the survey and resurvey
of public lands of the United
States for the fscalyear beginning
July l, 1908, and ending June 80,
1909, $4,000 thereof have been
appropriated to the District of
Arizona and will therefore be
available for the survey of the
agricultural and grazing lands
OF the territory during that time,
and settlers who are residing on
unsurveyed land and would like
to have the same surveyed so
that they can obtain patent to
their claims, can do SO by making
application to the Surveyor-Gen-
eral upon proper blanks, which
will be furnished them by the
Surveyor-General upon their re-
quest. The application of three
bona hde settlers in a township
is sufficient TO have the full town
ship surveyed; the application of
two settlers within a township
is sufficient to have twenty-four
sections surveyed, and the appli-
cation of one settler is sufficient
to have twelve sections surveyed,
to include his claim. The Depart
