The imperial William has fallen in the world when he is allowed to eX- press himself only by means of a printed speech which has been gone over carefully by his ministry. Such precautions we believe have never been taken in the case of any other ruler, but then there have been few such ready takers among rulers. Be- side, what the average modern ruler might say. however reckless he might be, would have less weight among his For instance, what King Edward might say would set forth views more or less personal He would still be in the hands of a wiser and more powerful parliament. But Williams voice is the voice of Germany and now for the first time the Fatherland sees the need of using it's own voice.

ITS MERELY AN OPINION.

While on its face the news from Washington this morning is not en- couraging to those of us who have been hoping for statehood at the short session, there is nothing conclusive in the expressed opinion that a bill will not be introduced. That will de- pend upon the leaders who, accord ing to the dispatch, have either not been interviewed or have withheld their opinions
 The basis of the belief of the mem bers who have spoken is that the appropriation bills will consume all of the time But appropriation bills important as they are, are not con- tinuous subjects of legislation and heretofore there has always been a great deal of legislation sandwiched between them.
 There is. not much else on the pro- gram for the short session and there is reason to believe that if the state hood matter is energetically pressed, as we believe it will be, it will find a place.
 A favorable circumstance is men, toned by The Republicans corres- pendent and that is that there has been no development of opposition to statehood among the members who are already on the ground.
 As we have previously mentioned. the subject has the warm approval of President Roosevelt as was ex- pressed in his recent letter to Chief Justice Kent. in which he proffered his assistance.

THE SEWER QUESTION.

In less than two months the leg islative session will begin. It is therefore not too early for those who want new or amendatOry legislation to begin formulating it. Phoenix has for some years wanted new legisla- tion on the subject of city charters but has been unable to get it, partly because there was not early enough concerted action.
 Phoenix has grown so since the adoption of the present charter that the city feels constrained by it There are many things that a town of this size ought to be able to do but which we cannot do.
 It is hardly to be expected that the coming legislature will give us a new charter, or. that within the short time that will intervene between now and the assembling, or even the ad journment of the legislature, we could agree among ourselves, precisely as to the kind of a charter we ought to have.
 But there is one thing upon which there is already a pretty general agreement and that is that this town needs a more nearly complete sewer system than it has now in the system which was designed for a village fourteen blocks long and six blocks wide.
 As things stand now the city is powerless to do anything about the sewer business. It cannot even make or enforce any sewer regulations. Those to whom the present system is available can do as they please about connecting with it. The sani- tary feature of the matter, an essen- tial one in all other cities, need not be taken into account here at all. The town is at the mercy of the care less or penurious property owner.
 That Phoenix has been such a healthy place has been for years a standing wonder to those who know anything about its sewer facilities, or rather. the want of them, and the most optimistic of us have been look ing forward to a reckoning some of these days unless something is done about it.
 There should be an amendment to the charter permitting Phoenix to en- gage in the sewer business; either to acquire and improve the present sys- tenn, or else to construct a new sys- tenn. There will be money in it as well as an assurance of a healthier town.
 We have no suggestion to offer as to the character of the amendment needed. That is something for the council. aided by taxpayers, to con- slider, but in a general way the amendment should give the council full bower
 We trust that the matter will be taken up without unnecessary delay in order that an agreement may be reached so that the amendment may be among the earliest bills intro duced.

back and forth a little board over the
old motto: las your journey through
life let Us live by the way"
He had seen a motto like that at
home, but today II seemed TO suggest
something more to him. II annoyed
him and he moved his chair to an
other part OF the veranda out OF sight
OF the swinging proverb. But he
could not get away from the frank
questioning gaze OF the little waitress.

claims as he intended. Why had she
been SO interested? Why had she
looked at him SO curiously as she
arose TO leave the table? And why
had he told her what he had come
for? Fool. he muttered under his
breath. and In a fash he was the old
hard, relentless man OF dollars.
Parke had no opportunity to speak
to the girl at dinner. as there were
many others TO be attended to, but he
felt a sort of feeling OF resentment
take possession OF him as he heard
the other guests Familiarity call her
Clara. On the following morning he
waited until he thought every one had
finished breakfast before he entered
the dining room. He wanted to be
alone TO talk with this girl who
seemed so strangely out OF place. He
wanted to ask her about the trail and
why she had come to Deadwood. He
sat down and waited for some time
before the door from the kitchen
opened and in slouched a coarse,

Parke felt a queer feeling OF loneli-
ness come over him, but he silently
swallowed his coffee and left the
room. Monday morning he was up
and ready to start when the guide
came with the mules and provisions.
Bright sunlight intensified the frost
painted glory OF the pine covered
mountains and the crisp autumn air
heralded the coming OF winter. Parke's
train consisted OF Pete, his halfbreed
guide, himself and their mules, with
an extra mule for the provisions and
blankets.
Slowly they wound their way up
the mountains, over steep, narrow
paths. alongside chasms that seemed
bottomless. They halted at noon in
little ravine TO prepare their luncheon.

empty can that had contained beans
and some dried bits Of biscuit lay scat

But don't you think It unfair to
deal with women In a matter OF this
kind, leaving them totally ignorant Of

But couldn't they organize a stock
company and retain an interest In the

And will you offer them a fair

1t is pleasing to read the testimony of
Messrs. c. w. Watson, president of the
Consolidation Coal Company, and G. L.
Brett, general manager of the Cumber-
land and Pennsylvania Railroad Com
pany, before the Interstate Commerce
Commission, each frankly admitting
that the "differential' against Georges
Creek coal is and has been unwarranted.
Other witnesses testified that these
companies have not protited by this in
injustice, but that the Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad Company imposed it and
took the proceeds, which have, in thirty
years, reached an immense total.
Meanwhile, with the State long repre-
sented in the railroad directorate, at the
same time controlling legislation in the
roads interest so as to give courts war
rant to justify technically the steal, is
one of the economical marvels of the
time.
1t is one of many recent instances
proving that, after all, State sovereignty
is tradition, if not myth.
