MAD ELEPHANT.
Runs Amuck In Riverside and De-
 stroys Life and Property.

A herd of circus elephants, alarmed by fire, stampeded through the streets of Riverside on Thursday of last week and tore up the town like a cyclone. One of them attacked and killed Miss Ella Gibbs and injured several other persons, smashed through the Glenwood Inn and scared actor Lackaye out of ayears growth, wrecked a barber shop, several barns, stores, stables and vehicles on the streets, bruised up two keepers and was finally rounded up and captured by four other elephants under control of trainers. The circus people paid damages for destroyed property.

SAN DECAYS H0TklR
 BACK-ACTI0N BOOM
USES OUR CLIMATE TO BOOST
 BEACH LOT SCHEME.
Dreams of Quarter of Million Imperial ties Streaming to the Coast to Es- cape Imaginary Summer Terrors of the Reclaimed Desert.


 The typical promoter of beach and resort" schemes is a cheerfully ir responsible cuss. and he says any thing that comes into his head if it seems likely to help persuade anyone that his particular project is the best that ever happened and a sure winner.
 Over in San Diego a boomer is sell ing beach lots. and he is filling the papers there with the hottest kind of hot air about Imperial Valley as a feeder for his real estate enterprise. Listen to him.
 The Imperial Valley, San Diego's most important back country, now shut out from it, but to be rendered accessible by the San Diego & Ari. zona railroad, is not only the richest, but it is also one of the hottest regions in the world No one will stay in the valley during the summer months con- tinuously. 1t is the hot-house, without glass, of the world. This will give an exceptional value to all of it's crops It is also a matter of enormous ad- vantage to the San Diego bay region. Calexico will not be more than four hours from the bay. This means that the families of many of the Imperial Valley land owners will live here half of the year. The Imperial Valley alone would baild city of 25O,OOO people on the bay of San Diego"
 And so he prattles artlesslyealong winding up, of course, with an inevit- able conclusion that his particular beach tract is the only one that an Imperial Valley man would think of looking at twice.
 It is flattering to the local pride of Imperial Valley patriots to say that their summer outing overflow will be 250,000 people-right away, of course but to say that this region is the hottest ill the world and that the val y is rubbing it in little too strenuously It is hot here in summer, but there are many hotter regions in the world, and they are inhabited by people who never think of summer outings and beach excursions.
 The heat in parts of the San Joaquin Valley is less endurable than the most torrid weather of this part of Cali fornia, and the humid summer heat along the gulf coast of Sonora is un- speakably worse. Most of the settlers of Imperial Valley do stay here during the summer months and get along very comfortably, and even those most sen sitive to heat do not deem it necessary to their comfort to be away for more than three months in the year. No body in average physical and mental health need fear the Imperial Valley summer.
 But if one persists in complaining and worrying about the weather and goes about calling loudly on the popu- lace to agree with him that this is a scorcher," he may be as uncomfort- able here as he could be in New York or Philadelphia. If there were no thermometers, nine-tenths of the suf- fering from heat would be abolished. With most people the weather is state of mind.

WHO WOULDN'T BE A LAWYER


 Who wouldn't be 8 lawyer and get rich quick? There's Senator Piles. for example. He and his former law associates in Seattle. and their client. have come Into the possession of a million-dolIar estate. says the Los Angeles Times.
 It's quite a romantic story, with a somewhat usual end-the lawyers get most of the "oof." or what repre- sents that golden bird. Here's the story in brief: Eight years ago John Sullivan, a typical western old-timer, died in Seattle in the house of a pretty French nurse. His body was hardly cold before the scramble for his estate began. This latter com prised a four-story building in the heart of the business district and acreage on the outskirts of the city. which has greatly improved in value.
 Irish, American and Canadian heirs sprung up as if by miracle. Court after court passed on the matter and finally 1t was decidd that a man of Cork, first cousin of Sullivan, was en- titled to the estate. This fortunate person will get half a million dollars worth of property; the other goes to Senator Piles and three lawyers with whom he was in partnership before he donned the toga.
 When the distribution of the real property was made the other. day by the administrator, the lawyers got what they called their f,usuar contin. gent fee, 50 per cent "E lAgain let it be remarked: "who wouldn't be a iawyer?"
 Of course all lawyers don't have the opportunities that come to men like seattle's young senator His name is Piles and he is making Piles of money. Legitimately, of course Champerty is legal in this country The law allows a client to "whacl 
 up" with his attorney. That's one reason why the courts are troubled with so many damage cases and il is also cause why so many shyster lawyers flourish in the land As far as Senator Piles goes, he and his associates have made theil money honestly They fought the will case with conspicuous brllliancy A great prize was at stake and they won it. One of the attractions of g legal career in this country is that sudden advancement and sudden

AUTHORITY
 OVER PUPILS.

The supreme court of Wisconsin has just made an important decision of great interest to teachers and boards of education. In it the decla- ration is made that school authorities have the power to suspend pupils for offenses committed outside of school hours and not in the presence of the teacher, provided that the offenses are of such a nature as to have direct and immediate tendency to in fuence the conduct of other pupils in the schoolroom. If discipline is set at naught or the authority of the teacher is impaired or he is brought into ridicule and contempt, there is justification for punishment Without this power order. decorum, decency and good government within the school are impossible.
 The case arse in the high school at St. Croix Falls. Two girls. daugh- ters of leading citizen, being offend ded at the strict discipline of the principal. wrote poem, Rules of St. Croix Jail," which was printed in a local paper. The faculty demanded an apology before the school as the alternative of expulsion. When the pupils declined to apologize or to pay a small fine assessed under the school rules they were expelled. The board of education sustained the faculty ac- tion. The appeal to the courts has been decided as above indicated.
 The principle has wide application. If it should be adopted in other states it would settle many disputed points Just where the authority of the pa. rent ends and that of the teacher be,
  gins has long been uncertain. Where there has been TO cooperation of pa. rent and teacher much difficulty has arisen. It has been a safe retreat for many an unruly pupil that the ofrense charged against him was committed outside of the schoolyard and after school hours.
 The decision has weight as coming from the highest legal authority of a state. It is revolutionary in its na ture. But it win commend itself to the great majority as the proper at titude toward a matter which has long been a disputed point in educa tionaI circles.

The republicans in council and a republican mayor joined with the democrats in publicly and officially endorsing the candidacy of Street Commissioner P. J. Mccullough for reelection. A vote of thanks was ten dered Commissioner Mccullough for his efficient and economical admins tration and the vast improvements made under his personal direction in Bisbee during the past two years. Mccullough is the right man in the right place. It does not pay to make a change when a man of his ability for the work in hand is on the job. McCullough's record and the report of his work submitted at the last meet ing of the city council is conclusive argument that he should be reelected.

Down in Fl Paso the city council has just awarded the contract for doing the city printing to the highest bidder. The Fl Paso Herald was giy- en the contract at nearly double the price submitted by the News. The council, in considering these bids took into consideration the circula- ton of the two papers and figured the advertising price at so much per thousand of circulation The action of the city council should be ap- proved. When the public pays for an advertisement it should be on the same basis as a merchant would pay for it. This reminds us that the board of supervisors awarded the con- tract for printing the proceedings of the board to the wiIlcox News, a stock paper, which everybody knows has no general circulation in the county, except among the stockmen. The News is good local paper, but 1t is safe to say that 1t is never seen by ss per cent of the population of Bisbee or Douglas, where three fourths of the population of the coun- ty Is to be found; therefore the pub ltcation of the proceedings of the board of supervisors or any other public advertisement in it's columns does not give information to the gen eral public. There is only one rule to pursue with public advertising, and that is to consider circulation as well as price when awarding con tracts.

The more the voters of Bisbee think of the manner in which that citizens ticket was brought into ex. istence the more certain they are that 1t is nothing more than an effort of the republicans to hit the democrats below the belt in the city election. Republicans should stand out in the open if they desire to make a fight for control of this city and not under. take such bushwhacking methods as they have adopted in the present city campaign.

PANIC SUICIDES.


 Since the panic in Wall street last October twenty-seven suicides have, taken place which have been caused directly or indirectly by it. Even now. six months after that panic. sui cides are recorded, one of the last be- ing that of Charles Custer. the New York broker. who. few days ago, after vainly striving to retrieve loss es amounting to million and half dollars by operations of a purely gambling character, at last gave up the hopeless game and shot himself Among these men who took their own lives because of ruinous finances are five prominent brokers, five bank cashiers, and seven bank presidents. showing that some bankers had i'm periled their legitimate business and the money intrusted to them by oth- CTS by illegitimate dealings in stocks or investment in risky projects.
 It is a curious feature of this sad record that so many bank officials should have been urged to death. the victims of their own folly and dis honesty, says the Chicago Tribune But they are not the only ones. The total list of those who have commit ted suicide since the first of January because of business misfortune of var ious kinds is sixty-seyen, and some of these cases also probably were due to the October panic. How many more will appear in the records time will show. The significant feature of it all is the rapid increase of this class of suicides. During the last twenty years the number has been small, but during the last two years 
 1t has grown with surprising rapidity This may be due in part possibly to the general increase of suicides all over the country, for they are now increasing much faster than homi cides. It may be due in part also to the increased social strain and com petition and the mania to get riches measured by millions, for hundreds of thousands are hardly considered as constituting wealth. But in the ma iority of these cases and in all the cases where brokers and bank off cials have been concerned it was the inevitable exposure of dishonesty and illegitlmate practices which could be concealed no longer and which threatened the pen.tentiary and public disgrace

DEMOCRATS SHOULD
 WORK FOR VICTORY.

The result of the city election in this city will mean more than the mere hoiding of office by the candi dates cn the democratic ticket, The democrats have selected deserving and competent men it is true and it is the duty of the democratic voters to support them, but the result of the democrats at this time will have the eject of doubly securing demo cratic success in the county this fall. Democrats who may not feel special Iy interested in the municipal election may have a friend on the ticket this fall and his vote now for the demo crats may result in added strength fo- a friend in the November election
 The republicans have offered noth- ing in their platform or candidates which would justify anyone to desert the democratic ticket now. What ever has been done by the city gov ernment to advance the interests of this city has been because of the pro sressiye policies adopted by the dem ocrats elected to the the city offices
 The republicans have been laying their plans recently to make a des- perate attempt to capture the new state of Arizona and thus secure the election of two republican United States senators. By deserting dem ocratie city candidates now demo crats will be aiding the republicans in their designs upon the democratic majority which has always been i'm presnabIe in the past in this terri tory. E
 The plea for non-partisanship ac- sos made by the republicans is sim ply plea for the opportunity to en- ter a republican wedge which may be sriyen home perhaps this fall in the territory, or perhaps later in the new state of Arizona No democrat should s,op 10 Iistea to such talk.
