\ correspondent of the Berlin Tage-
blatt draws an uncomplimentary picture
of the Beers who went to what is called
German Southwest Africa shortly after
the war with Great Britain which ended
with the downfall of the South African
republics. He says they are lazy and I'M
Clean and there is no prospect that they
will be assimilated for generations
to come. Moreover, these particular
Beers are degenerating SO rapidly that it
would be worse for Germans TO fall I'M
der their influence than for them to be-
come ''Kattirized." This story does not
comport with the progress of the Beers
who elected to remain in their old do
main and make the best of the situa-
ton. The burghers who staid at home
have become part of the body polite
and some of them are holding important
positions under the colonial government.
1t is evident that the migrants embraced
the undesirable element of the Boer pop
uation-the irreconcilables who were
probably somewhat difficult to control
even when the burghers were maintain
ing their so-called republican govern
ments

Seffanson. the explorer who accompan-

again, in company with Capt. r. NJ. An

scum OF Natural History, for explora-
tory work along the Arctic coast east of
Alaska. There is wide area in that
part of the world awaiting exploration

practical than pole-hunting.

The first paragraph of a bulletin just
issued by the State Board of Health of
Wisconsin is as follows: by intelligent
concerted effort in treating every case of
typhoid fever, the disease could be en-
tirely eradicated in less than FIVE years :"
This timly warning should recommend
care also as to the sources of the dis
ease. The season of summer outings is
close at hand, and those who entertain
visitors from the city should see to it
that water and food are properly protect
ed from flies, and that the drainage is
in accordance with sanitary science.

DIR. Nansen seems to be tired of poll
ties and longing for indulgence in scientific
study. His resignation of the Office of
Norwegian minister to Great Britain hav
ing been accepted ON the LIST of May, he
is now back in his old position as pro-
fessor Of oceanography in the University
of Norway. Nansen is man who wants
to do things" and representatives of
governments often have small latitude in
this regard, in the field of diplomacy.

The Des Moines dispatch which chron-
icles the death of five persons and the
illness of thirty others, from eating
chicken and ice cream at a church socia-
bic. "a few nights ago." remarks that
the greatest mystery exists as to how
the germs of typhoid got into the food"
This mystery will never be dispelled, as
the illness and death were doubtless the
result of ptomaine poisoning. Typhoid
germs require longer than a few days to
manifest their activity in the human sys-
TEN, and victims who are attacked with
fatal virulence generally linger for some
time in the throes of the fever

a tenacious foe.

The monitor Florida is to be subjected
TO another severe test on the 10th inst,
when an American Whitehead torpedo
will be directed against her side at
point back of which is located a special
bulkhead designed to resist such attacks
The promoters of the torpedo believe
that the monitor will be sunk, but the
inventor of the bulkhead, which it is
said incloses water as buffer, are of the
opinion that the Florida will stay atioat,
although her outer plating may be badly
perforated The outcome of the test is
important from financial as well as
naval standpoint. The naval blue

be made torpedo prof with bulkheads,

greater than during the most active month of any earlier year.
 Merchants, grocerymen, dry goods men and others estimate the increase of their business for the summer months at from 25 to 50 per cent over the same months of any pre- vious year. It is said that the resi- dence building which has been going on since the beginning of this year is of greater volume than that of any previous three year period.
 We have frequently referred to the month of July, not because that has been a banner month, but because the figures for it have already been made up. In most lines August is believed to have been better and September so far as it has gone has been still better. The prospect for the fall and winter is regarded as the brightest we have ever had. Al most anywhere else this would be called a boom.

SOME FOLKS WOULD CALL IT A
 BOOM.
 It has often been comfortably ob- served that We of the Salt River val ley would not have known anything about the panic if people had not come in from the outside and told us of it's existence. All we know of the consequent depression we have learned from outsiders, returning tourists and the newspapers.
 We are minded of this again by statements of merchants and others regarding local conditions. While generally throughout the country this has been the worst year since 1893, with more men out of employment, with money harder to get, with a greater number of business failures and with greater uncertainty regard ing the future, the past summer has been the best in the business history of Phoenix.
 The business of the postoffice for July exceeded the volume for the corresponding month of last year by $500. The business of Wells Fargo & Co. for the same month was S1,OOO greater than for July a year ago Lumber men and material men say. some of them, that their sales for July and August, two months during which very little has been expected, were six times as great as they were for the same months last year, and for each of those months this year, |

 An interurban car from Aurora crashed into an elevated train and several persons were injured. Two la borers were run down and killed by trains. A suburban train crashed into the Chicago Northwestern limited in the yards and half a dozen people were hurt.

PHOENIX, ARIZONA. SEPT. IS, 1908.
YES OR NO?

As to the amiability of the Hon. Marcus A. Smith, Arizonians are all agreed. Many, if not most of his fellow citizens, would be pleased to see him installed for life in such congenial surroundings as he has en- joyed for the last twenty years, but at the same time they have some- thing else to consider just now-the welfare of Arizona and of them selves. We believe now that a ma jority of the voters of the territory are convinced that they can not serve themselves by serving Mir. Smith any longer.
 There has been a biennial dispute for years as to whether Mir. Smith has been an efficient representative at Washington. That is immaterial and irrelevant now. MT. Smith may have accomplished as much as it would have been possible for any democrat to accomplish against ad verse influences but there is noth ing in the present situation to in duce the belief that he can accom- plish any more in the immediate future than in the past. And we want something done in the imme- diate future. There is a greater probability that it may be done than there ever was before. We want statehood.
 In all Arizona, there is not an intelligent friend of MT. Smith who will undertake to tell an intelligent citizen that NIT. Smith can possibly contribute an iota to that desired end. Mir. Smith himself knows that his election this fall could only serve as a brake on our progress toward admission. He knows that if he should be elected all hope of state hood at the short session would van ish with the announcement of the | vote on the night of November 8; | that the weight of his triumph | would crush the hopes of Arizonians | for at least a year, and, perhaps for a full congressional term.
 No situation was ever plainer than | this one; no contingency could be more of a fulfilled certainty. This is a l matter which affects republicans no | more than it does democrats; for l once at least the interests of the members of both parties are iden- tical and we believe that a majority Of the voters realize it now and that still more of them will realize it before election day.
 A vote for Cameron is not a vote for republican principles, for as we have frequently asserted, no party principles are involved in this con- test. Nor could they be involved. The voters Of Arizona have one plain issue before them and only one It is immediate statehood. A vote for Smith is No" A vote for Cameron is Yes" The matter would not be plainer if the ballots were so printed.

however, think Taft has shown a dis
position to be fair to labor in his re-
cent speeches. He has approved sew
eral measures advocated by legislators
to better conditions and to favor the
union men. Some declare that there
is no such thing as a labor vote.
Nevertheless the administration, father
Of the Taft boom, is turning everything
possible to demonstrate it's friendliness
to labor. President Roosevelt has even
intimated that If Congress adjourns
without passing the liability act and
amending the anti sherman bill so as
to permit lawful combinations Of
workingmen he will call an extra ses-
sion. 1t is hardly likely this viii be
necessary. Republican congressman
are favorably impressed with giving
labor some things it wants right now.
They have their own fences to watch
even if they don't care how Tafta
candidacy gets along.
