Tho Love Of Good Books.

There is no task of the teacher that
can surpass in Importance this work
of forming right tastes of reading
among children. 1t makes not so much
difference what children learn as what
they love. What they learn they will
forget; what they love they will keep.
II children do not learn to use and ap-
preciate good books while at school,
they will hardly ever learn, and their
education will not amount to much.
The school has to do with child and
youth, but the library has to do with
the child, the youth and the man until
the end Of his life. A good book II .
blessing, but an evil one . curse.

"What Is History"

What is history but the more or less
superficial opinions Of certain men
with respect to the movement and
course of events, some of which may
be doubted or denied or disputed?
There Is a widespread opinion that
history is something apart, something
that gets itself done whether or no,
and windy orators have been known
to appeal to its judgment But 1t will
have to be written by men who have
been trained to interpret it Impair
tially.-Uncie Remus' Magazine.

WASHINGTON LETTER
MATTERS OF GENERAL INTER-
EST FROM THE CAPITAL

The bill to provide for an emer-
gency currency, prepared by Sem
ator Aldrioh, chairman of the
Committee ON finance, introduced
on Tuesday, is the chief topic Of
discussion by Republicans and
Democrats alike. The Democrats
have not committed themselves In
regardto the measure and there
is a hopeful feeling among the Re-
publicans that little opposition
will be made to it by them. While
Speaker Cannon would have pro-
ferred progressive tax on the
proposed new circulation, in order
to force it's retirement as soon as
possible, ne is in accord with the
general provisions of the measure
and this will of course, go long
way toward smooshing its pas
sage through Congress. The ex-
pectation ia that the Aldrioh meas
ure, which is entitled "a bill
to amend the national banking
laws, will be taken up by the Fl.
nance Committee for consideration
on Tuesday next, and will contin-
ne to be considered by this Com
mittee, to the exclusion OF other
business, until an agreement Is
reached to report it to the Senate
The leaders in Congress are Of
the opinion that the bill will &c
through the Senate in a compari-
lively short time and that it's pros.
poets are equally good in the
House.

Predicts Disaster For 1908.

The year of earthquakes, floods,
cyclones, tidal waves and labor
uprisings. throughout the United
States is forcasted by the eminent
psychologist and prophet, Leo
Credo. He predicted the San
Francisco earthquake on Jan. 80,
1904, the tidal wave that almost
annihilated Galveston and the
eruption OF Mt. Pelee was foretold
by him a year in advance. He
said TO a reporter:
"The year of 1908 will prove a
record breaker. The greatest dis
turbances will be labor troubles
These will bring continued in
creasing upheavels until they cul-
inmate in August, and it will rem
der riot revolution and the great
est panic ever known. A tidal
wave of the Pacific Ocean will
su bmerge a great area of now dry
land, thousands of lives will be
lost and many more rendered
homeless. There will be more un-
employed men in the United States
than ever was seen since the birth
of this nation. Wages will be
m aterially reduced and foodstuffs
will greatly increase on account of
deficient crops. The spring will
be late but very favorable to fruit
and small grain. The northern
part OF the United States will fare
better than the south. Lay up
grain as three sterile years will
follow. Toads, snakes, worms,
bugs, grasshoppers will abound.
Spray your fruit trees we'll. The
diseases most likely to affect
people will be liver and stomach
troubles, private disorders will be
on the increase, also all digestive
disorders. Our next panic will be
in 1918, 1925 and 1885. The year
of 1915 will be an exceedingly
prosperous one. A man from
Wisconsin will be our next Pres.
ident and he will revolutionize
the form of our government. He
will do right and enforce the law
and rights of man regardless of
politics. Such a man will occupy
the White House. In 1881 the
United States will extend from
pole to pole or from the magnetic
center of the earth to 80 degrees of
latitude and from 0 to ITO degrees
west longitude. At that time
railroads will run without break
from Point Darrow, Alaska to
Cape San Diego, Terra Del Fuego.
Deaths by fire and drowning and
by violence will be numerous in
1908. Many influential men will
be disgraced. Rockefeller, King
Edward and Kaiser William will
die the ensuing year. The czar of
Russia will be decentralization

Much angry murmuring is heard
in naval circles and among Con-
gressmen over the treatment ac-
corded to Rear Admiral Brownson
in connection with the publication
of the correspondence bearing on
his resignation from the Office of
chief of the Bureau of Navigation
which is regarded as most unfair.
An important letter is alleged to
have been written by Admiral
Brownson setting forth his reas-
ons for believing that the assign
ment of a naval surgeon to oom-
mand the hospital ship Relief is
unlawful and this letter has been
withheld from the public, although
the remainder of the correspond
cnce bearing on the controversy
has been given to the press. 1t is
upon this letter that Admiral
Brownson depended to sustain
'-sais position, and all applications
at the White House for it are met
with the statement,that the Brown
son letter had no bearing on the
question at Issue, and that there
was no occasion, therefore to make
1t public. Friends of the Admiral
are, however, very indignant over
its suppression, and cannot UNDER
stand the reason for it.

A MICHIGAN MOTHER
MURDERS HER FAMILY
Of Eight Members One Has a Slender
Chance for Life.

Cadillac, Mich, June 13.-Seventeer
year old Fred Cooper, the last living
member of a family of eight persons,
lies tonight at Mercy hospital with
just a fighting chance of life while the
bodies of the other seven members of
the family, all slain by the wife and
mother, who afterwards committed
suicide, lies in the morgue. the object
of morbid interest by a thousand
townspeople and farmers from the
surrounding country.
This afternoon a report came from
the hospital that the boy, who has a
bullet wound through his head, had
died. Instead however after lying for
some hours in a comatose condition he
rallied a little early this evening and
was able to make a brief statement.
He said all he remembered of last
nights dreadful occurrences in the
Cooper home is vague recollection of
hearing a revolver shot. After that he
had no recollection until he was arous
ed in the hospital
1t is the supposition that the shot
he heard was the one that killed his
brother who lay beside him in bed. 1t
is supposed that the mother iinmedi
ately afterward sent a bullet into
Fred'S head.

WELL KNOWN CITIZEN
CROSSES THE DIVIDE
For Number of Years Actively En-
gagged in Business Here.

Yesterday afternoon shortly after 4
o'clock, Alfred L. Stephens, for years
a man prominent in the business cir
cles of Phoenix passed away at his
residence on West Monroe street. Mr..
Stephens had been suffering for
months from general physical break
down which necessitated his retirement
from active business life several years
ago.
Mr.. Stephens was born in LoWville,
Lewis county, New York, August 23,
1888, and for a number of years re-
sided in Wisconsin and Dakota, COM
ing to this city some fourteen years
ago. Upon arrival in Phoenix Mr.
Stephens in conjunction with c. M.
Sturges opened the Golden Eagle liv-
cry stable and up to three years ago
was actively connected with the BUSH
ness which his uprightness and honest
dealing had made such a wonderful
success. Ok
? Few men in this locality were held
in higher esteem or had larger circle
of friends than Alfred Stephens. En-
downed as he was with a bright and
sunny disposition and containing in his
personality all that is best and highest
in man his sad and untimely death
will cast gloom over many homes in.

An Immense Crowd Thronged the

Readers of The Republican for a

note the big double page advertise

is entitled to credit, and it is as big
an ad as was ever run in this city.
The fruits of it were seen yester-
day in the great rush of people to
the store for it was a magnificent
business day Notwithstanding the
weather was extremely hot and many
people went to the Granite, Reef eel

York Stores great annual pre-inven-
tory sale, a fixed festival in the New
York Stores calendar, always falling
in the month of June just before
stock taking days. There are two
motives for this. sale. One is to re-
duce stock SO there will be less
yardage to measure and less count
ing to be done in stock taking The
other reason is that while the store
is not growing about hard times, 1t

ing uninjured on the narrow beach;
she has beam of $50 feet. a draft of
241 feet, and carries a crew of S22

Last yearsh was part of the fine
squadron sent to Asiatic waters. From
there she returned with the other YES
sells in Admiral DaytOn's command.
In February last, she came to the
navy yard at Puget Sound, for dock
ing and repairs. She is one of eight
vessels of the Pacific fleet which pa
raded through Seattle harbOr on the
way to San Francisco to participate
in the naval parade there on May Z.
Since then she has been in California
waters.
Capt Edmund B. Underwood who
commands the Colorado. is a native of
California, who entered the naval aca-
denny in 1869. He assumed command
of the Colorado at Puget Sound navy
yard on February 20, last. For three
years. prior to that time he had been
on duty as ordinance officer at Mare
Island navy yard.
The Colorado is a member of the
first division of the first squadron of
the Pacific fleet.
At 1890 pm. Port Angeles reports
the cruiser still on the beach. 1t has
been impossible to raise the wireless
station at Port Townsend or Tatoosh.
1t is expected that the failure to
raise the Colorado is due to the fact
that if she is out of the water her
engines cannot be run to operate the
wireless system on board. A launch
has been sent from Port Angeles and
details may be received about 2 am.
