STRONG MEN TO THE FRONT

A democratic victory this fall in Gila county is as certain as the coming of election day. There isn't even look in for the republican party. To be sure, the followers of the big human phono- graph will engage in the pleasant pas time of meeting in convention, hurrah- ing for Teddy's shadow, pointing with pride, and viewing with alarm their fattering prospects for trip up Salt river, and, incidentally, placing a coun- ty ticket in the field. But the process will be wholly mechanical, and the heart of none will beat in expectancy of anything more than depressing de feat. A sickly effort will perhaps be made to save the bacon of one or two now at the pie counter, but the ill-fated will, in the main, be left to their own resources, and they will go down crown ed with the dignity of failure.
 Recognizing this condition some of the best men in the county--democrats as a matter of course-have consented to serve the people and to allow their names to go before the convention. The party will be given an opportunity to select ticket that will prove absolute ly invincible, and one that will roll up a larger democratic majority than has ever been recorded in Gila county.
 While the Silver Belts announcement column only shows the names of two aspirants Messrs. Thompson and sterns, both for the office of sheriff, other an nomcements will be made during the next few days, and an array of names will be presented that will make i'm possible a mistake in the selection of a ticket.
 Sheriff Thompson has served the peo- pie in such satisfactory manner from the very start that he has been called and recalled. He is what might be termed the ideal peace officer-faith- ful, true and in every way reliable and efficient. He has been persuaded by a large number of his friends throughout the county to stand for reelection, and he will go into the democratic conven. tion with a strong and determined fol lowing.
 A. II. Sterns, whose announcement ap pears in this mornings Silver Belt foi the office of sheriff, is man whose strength cannot be easily overestimated and candidate who must be reckonet with. He has made a glowing success in the conduct of his personal affairs and has all of the requisite qualifica tions for peace officer. Like his op ponent in the contest, his popularity i! far reaching and will add greatly to hi strength in the preliminary canvass.
 These early announcements have es tablished standard of measurement which should govern all other aspirantl to the respective offices, and none wh, cannot reach this altitude of efficienc! should receive encouragement.

GOLDEN LOCKS, GOODBYE

Sociology sometimes busies itself with strange problems and arrives at con clusions that seem queer to the layman. Here we have Professor Mason of the Smithsonian declaring that in six short centuries man or woman of light com. plexion will be hard to find. A writer in the Contemporary Review backs up this assertion with an independent ar ticle, in which he predicts the early ex- tinction of the blonde type and that the brunette will inherit the earth and the fullness thereof.
 At first blush the average man would be inclined. unthinkingly, to agree en- tirely with the conclusions of these sci entists, because most men have had ocular demonstration of the truth of the assertions. It is true that Professor Mason's term--six short centuries seems rather long, for most of us can recall many blondes who have reverted to brunettes, in some cases as often as once year. Noy, more; some of us have been fortunate enough to see the change in process, even as we mS5 watch the chrysalis develop into but teriy, and have noted persons-usually feminine-who were changing from blonde to brunette so quickly that the top part of the hair would be shining gold, while about the roots the bru- nette color was making rapid progress.
 Many writers agree that history is singularly silent as to the origin of the blonde. Some scientists think the type originated in Scandinavia, where the population, through many centuries, was bleached by semi arctic climate. 9th CTS credit the blonde creation to those people who lived in moist areas. Mod ern research would indicate that the blonde was often self-producing, pro duct of chemistry, or, perhaps, of the father of chemistry, alchemy, which, if it could not discover the philosopher s stone which was to change base metal into precious, could at least hide the "silver threads among the gold"
 The writer in the Contemporary Re view points out that it is the blondes that take upon themselves the burdens of the world, and so are burning them selves out.' It is the blondes who have fought the worlds wars, while the bru- nettes have stayed at home. And it is asserted that blondes are really less fit ted for city life than the brunettes which is, perhaps, the reason why so many faded blondes are to be found in the big cities. Dark-skinned, dark-hair- ed people, it is maintained, can combat best conditions unfavorable to life and so will outlast the golden haired.
 Fortunate We who live in the present age and shall not be here ''six short centuries hence to witness the dire gloom of blondeless world. From time immemorial the blondes have been the inspiration of the esthetes of the world
 'Golden hair, like sunlight streaming On the marble of her shoulder
 has always been the theme of poets, and the Greeks held golden locks and a fair complexion to be gift of the gods
 But it is all to pass, this glory of the world; and we may see it fade. Let us
Daily Arizona silver belt., 1908-07-24

thank heaven, then, for the industry and
 perseverance of our womankind, who will decline, bravely, to submit to the decree of fate or the dictum of the sci entists, and, for their own pleasure and the joy of mankind, will continue to be blonde as long as they have the price.

BARN DANCES BARRED.
Hippity-Hopping Is Too Hard on the
 Building, Owners Say.

Bridgeport, May 16.-The owners or managers of dance halls in this city are considering barring the barn dance, not on the ground of morals, not in Bridgeport, but be- cause 1t is hard or the building. It is conjectured by the unfeeling own CTS that the barn dance was in- tended for the barn, the old fash toned barn which had floor of two and one-half inch plank pretty near the ground, and not for the second or third or fourth. floor of modern brick building.
 The trouble, 1t is said here, must be caused by the young men for it is impossible for fairy-like girl to bring her two feet down on the floor with crash like freight wreck. The barn dance has had the right of way here for the greater part of the winter because it needs so little knowledge of dancing All the dancers have to do is to skip down the hall few yards, buzz around like pinwheel, leap into the air and come down on the floor with bang. A crowd of 100 or so who get the habit of coming down on the floor all at once seem to dis courage the floor and its owners. It's great fun, though, and 1t is sup posed to be the way the farmers dance.those fellows who own barns and wear boots and say "B'Gosh, v you know.

ANSWERS
9a aeeeaaeaeea Geeaaaaaeee&

A. w. C.-Please state what the governments loss is annually on reg istered mail matter-such as let ters from which the money has been taken out and the letter deliv- | cred?
 A. The government sustains no loss, since it does not assume any responsibility for it beyond the pre- caution of taking a receipt from each employe handling the matter. With this device it is rare thing for money to be lost, and if an em- ploye is thief he is soon caught.
 -?-
 K. B. K.-To whom can I write in England to find out whether 1 there is an estate there for me? CD What is the horoscope of one born January 12.
 A. If you have an attorney who in turn will engage an English mem- Der of the bar to look into the mat ter. If there is really an estate waiting for you to claim it, there must be some way to learn some thing about it without going to court, and court proceedings are useless without evidence. (2) Proud, independent, talkatiye and versatile.
 M. F. B.-Can you describe the formaldehyde test for milk? A. The milk is diluted with an equal volume of water; sulphuric acid containing trace of ferric chloride is added so that it forms layer beneath the milk Under these conditions milk, in the absence of formaldehyde, gives a slight green ish tinge at the juncture of the two liquids, while violet ring forms in half a minute after mixing, some times not so quickly. It is well. therefore, to let the test tubes stand few minutes. Make the test with ample light, lest the brown ring which sometimes forms as result of the caramelization of the sugar in the milk be mistaken for the vio- let ring of formaldehyde.
 J. E. R.-What is the scientific explanation of thunder claps?
 A. As commonly explained the electric discharge visible as lightning heats the air through which it passes to very high temperature. and this causes an intensely violent expansion of the air and its vapors from end to end of the flash. This is immediately met by contraction of equal violence and rapidity. and thus is produced a wave of expan- sion and contraction, the causativs factor of noise. The wave of thun- der transmission tends to rise away from the ground and therefore away from audibility, because of refrac- tion in the atmosphere and because of the irregular conductivfty in storm air. This fact explains why thunder is never heard beyond 10 or 20 miles, while the discharge of artillery has been heard hundred miles.

BOUT WITH BUFFALO BILL.
Springfield July 4 Celcbrators Don'i
 Want Him on That Date.

Springfield, Mass, May 16.-The efforts of the Independence Day as- sociation to have the date of the Buff falo Bill Wild West show changed from July 4 to July has been un- successful. Mayor Sanderson got into communication with the Buffalo Bill people as soon as he learned that there was any opposition to the shows coming to Springfield on the 4th. He telephoned the manage ment in Philadelphia and also wrote a letter, to which he received reply regretting that no change in date could be made as the bills had been posted and railroad arrangements made.
 As the show is booked for Hol- yoke July 3, and there will be no public celebration in that city the Fourth, it was thought Holyoke could change dates with Springfield. Cody & Bailey have sent word that they are willing to abandon the morning performance" by which it is supposed they mean the free street parade, and express a desire to as- sist the local celebration in any way they can.
 President Fred T. Ley of the board of trade called on the mayor Wednes- day to ask if the license could be re- voked without leaving the city liable to damages. This question has not been decided, but the opinion is that the city could legally be held for the expenses already incurred by the Wild West show, and possibly for the loss of revenue due to the can ceiling of the license.
