Elsewhere we have, as we believe,
voiced the sentiment of a majority of
the voters of Wayne in regard to the
candidacy of Thos. G. Madden for the
office of Commissioner. We are also sure
that there is an equally favorable senti-
ment prevailing as to the efficiency and
deserts of his colleague for the past
three years, j. X. Hornbeck. These
two men constituted majority OF the
board, and while if there had been
found anything reprehensible in its ac-
ton during the term, they would have
been held Justly accountable for it, they
are equally entitled to such commenda-
ton as is justly due the board for its
most praiseworthy record. Mr.. Horn
beck has Il clear perception of the pub
lie needs, and also of individual rights
in the management of county affairs.
He has not been and will not be in
fluenced by selfish considerations in the
performance of his duties, but will at
tend to them hereafter as heretofore
with desire to do justice to all inter
ests, and with due sense of response
bility. 1t is essential that both Mr..
Hornbeck and Mr.. Madden shall be
elected, if Republican supremacy in the
board, with all that implies of economy
and good management, is to be main
tanned.

THE Massachusetts, Democracy have
been painfully Jared by the unexpected
action of Ferdinand Strauss. Mr.. Strauss
has been prominent Democratic leader
in the Bay State for twelve years, and in
1904 made an active campaign for Par
ker. This year his party nominated him
as Presidential elector. But he has
addressed q letter to the State Commit
tee, declining the nomination, and de-
claring his intention of voting for Taft.

Bryan's Mythical Heirship.

Bryan still continues his quest for es-
tates locked up in the political chapcery
to await the claims of missing heirs, and
insists that he is the real "heir of the
Roosevelt policies" and the man best
qualified to carry them into effect. But
he has been repudiated by Roosevelt,
and thus far is unable to read his title
clear. There appears to be wicked
uncle in the case-Uncle Sam-bent on
keeping him out of possession; and the
probability is that in November Bryan
and Kern will prove to be the hapless
"Babes in the Wood" on the bank of
Salt River, done to death by the wicked
uncle, and buried under leaves in the
form of ballots.

The efficiency of Thomas G. Madden
as a County Commissioner has been SO
thoroughly proved during the term now
drawing to close, few words can be
needed to show the wisdom of his re-
election. He has not only been faithful
in the discharge of his duties, but he has
brought to that service ripe counsil and
an eye single to the good of the people
whose interests he has in part had in
charge. The position OF Commissioner
is one of the most trying in the county,
and demands good Judgment, patience,
foresight and integrity on the part of the
incumbents. All these qualities Mr..
Madden is well-known to possess. He
has made an exceptionally popular Com
missioner, and it is in the air that he
will be reelected to the post which he
has filled with so much credit to him
self and satisfaction to the taxpayers of
the county.

THE Japanese are beginning to like
milk and butter. Twenty-Five years ago
not more than l or 2 per cent. of the
people in Japan would touch butter,
even il eating at European restaurant.
Now 40 to 6O per cent. eat it with rel
ish. Dairy farms have increased notably,
but IL is chiefly to milk that they look
for their profit. Whereas thirty ui forty
years ago milk was abhorrtd and the
average Japanese would not touch it,
many households now consume one or
two bottles day. This is partly because
people have come to like it, and partly
because doctors have recommended it as
wholesome beverage.

THE recent death of Senator Allison,
of Iowa, recals the different views of the
age limit in politics thirty-iive years
ago and now. In 1873 Allison was
candidate for the IT, $. Senate, to sue
ceed Senator Harlan, and the latter was
candidate for reelection. The strong
est argument used against Harlan was
his advanced age, which, it was con-
tended, untitled him for further service
in public life. He was fifty-two years
'old. This view prevailed, and Allison
was elected. a few months before his
death he was elected for his seventh
term, at the age OF seventy nine. '''

ETHEL BARRYMORE, the distinguished
actress, who is familiar with American
and English society, says that the reason
why marriages between American ''soci-
ety. women and English noblemen so
often prove failures, is because rich
American women, rs a rule, "are not
intellectually equipped for nobemen's
wives" This is new view of the mat
ter. Usually, the financial equipment OF
the American wife is the first and often
the only consideration with the English
nobleman.

Two Hundred RevoIutionists Take
Town in State Of CoahuiIa--
Troops Rushed to Scene.

Loredo, Texas, June 2G.-Two hun.
dred armed mounted men yesterday
attacked and captured the town OF
Viesca, state of Coahuila, Mexico. In
the fight which took place three per-
sons were killed and several wound
ed.
Telegraph wires were cut and the
railroad lines torn up and a bridge
burned.
Three trainloads of troops left the
City of Mexico last night for the scene
and a trainload of soldiers also left
Saltillo, the capital of the state. Re-
ports received here are to the ef1ect
that the government believes the at
tacks were made by bandits. The vice
president Of the republic and the sec
retary of war and the secretary OF the
interior, 1t is stated, deny that the
trouble has any political significance
Some reports received here state the
outbreak is the starting of a genera
revolution.

Blood Thirsty Indians in Mexico Are

Nogales, Ariz., June 2G.--Since the
breaking off of negotiations with the
Yaqui Indians few days ago and the
subsequent order for an active cam.
paign by General Torres there have
been numberless rumors of battles
and skirmishes, none of which is sub.
stantiated. Civil authorities and ranch
owners have received instructions to
cooperate with the troops in the field,
but as few of the people are permit
ted to retain arms or ammunition no
assistance is looked for from this
quarter. From Sonora have come un-
verified reports that Chief Bule with
three hundred followers has surrend'
cred; that party Of thirteen Yaquis
was surrounded at water hole in the
Bacatete mountains, and captured by
detachment under Colonel Zalos. An
other rumor to the effect that on the
18th band of Yaqus attacked ninety
eight soldiers and was defeated with a
loss Of four meh killed. Another en-
|gagement is reported from the Magda
lena.

FORMER BANK CLERK
TAKEN INTO CUSTODY
Another Alleged EmbezzIer Faces
Long Term in Prison For Jug
Cling Funds.

Piltsburg, Pa, June 26-H. w.
Tiers, former discount clerk of the
First National bank of this city was
arrested last night on an information
made by National Bank Examiner w.
NJ. Folds, charging him with the alb.
stracting of about $51 900 of the bank S
funds. Tiers furnished bail in the
amount Of $4,000 for his appearance.
All the money was taken from the
bank from February s, 1906, to July
26, 1906. Shortly after that time the
bank officials learned OF the irregular
tiles and dismissed Tiers. He made a
partial restitution and turned over to
the bank considerable collateral upon
which it is stated today the institution
hoped to realize. Nothing was said of
the matter at the time and the bank
charged of the shortage from the sur.
plus.
Recently, however, the numerous
bank defalcations occurring in this vi
cinity resulted in orders being receiy-
ed from Washington, 1t is said, to pro-
secute such cases, and the informa-
tion against Tiers was made. Since
leaving the employ Of the bank Tiers
has been engaged in the real estate
business.

The sites for the armory buildings
| in Roswell and Santa Fe have been Sc
Ilected but the other sites at Las

selected. The armory site in Santa Fe
adjoins the Women's Board OF Trade
library.

and his constituents desire that the
convicts be used.
AS there are no finances appropri.
ated to place the convicts on the work
Governor Curry could not give Mr.
Van HOuten any TOO favorable a re

Houten left with the assurance that
the interests of that section OF the
territory would not be neglected ir
