NELLIE MAY CORBITT.

Miss Nellie May COrbitt died OF
typhoid fever Saturday evening,
Sept. 10, 1908, at the home of her
parents on South Kenwood avenue,

toward her recovery has been done
but without permanent avail. She
was a very promising girl before her
illness and had high ideals in life.
She had large circle of young
friends who were very much attached
to her. She leaves her parents and
three brothers, Lewis, Arthur and
Roy, to mourn her departure and the
vacancy thus left in their home. Flu

PHOENIX, ARIZONA, MAY 1s. 1908.
FOR WHAT PURPOSE?

The most surprising political move of recent date is the call by Vice Chairman Haggott of the republican territorial central committee for a meeting of the committee, to do some thing, what we cannot conceive, in relation to the territorial delegation to Chicago.
 One extraordinary thing in connec- tion with the affair is that the call is issued by the vice chairman over the head of the chairman of the committee, who had received no sug gestion of such a meeting from any one except Hoval A. Smith the trump conventions candidate for national committeeman, but who is not a member of the territorial committee.
 The whole matter is unprecedented and we may say impudent The ter ritorial committee has no right to at tempt to influence the action of a convention to be held, and much less, has it a right to attempt to subvert the action of a convention that has been held. There is no power which can in any way pass upon the action of the Tucson convention except the national convention to which the ter rftorial conventions delegates are ac- credited.
 We can think of only one purpose which is designed to be served by such a meeting as is proposed and that is the settlement in advance by handful of unauthorized members of the territorial committee representing only themselves, of the contest be- tween the regular convention at Tue son and the rump convention there. If the committeeman who assemble on May g in response to MT. flag gott's call should carry out such a purpose, it would be intended to save the national conventions committee on credentials just that much time but we could hardly expect the ere dentials committee to take congni EdAANC VI NlAC N@AAoNSAASS NA e group of territorial committeeman in relation to the Arizona contest
 The only thing that can possibly follow any action of the proposed meeting is a continuance of the fac tional fight among the republicans of the territory, well on into the county and territorial campaigns. We had hoped that with the Tucson conven- tion the fight had ended so far as the republicans of Arizona were con- rcened; that both sides would be content to leave the whole matter to the national convention and devote themselves to closing up their shat tered ranks against the democratic enemy.
 But for this flaming into flames again, of the embers left smouldering at Tucson, we could urge only one ob- jection to the meeting of May 22. We do not like to see republicans eminent enough to be members of the territorial committee make asses of themselves in the manner suggested by MT. Haggott's call.

dent was known to be favorable to the selection of various persons, but the name of Senator Burrows had never been included in a list of names known to be acceptable to him. As to MT. Burrows attitude toward Secre- tary Taft's candidacy, he has re- trained from any expression favorable to him or any other candidate.
 But we join with our jubilantly per verting contemporary iii congratulat- ing the republican party on the selec- tion of Senator Burrows. It gives as surance of fairness in all matters re- lated to the national convention so far as the powerful temporary chairman can promote fairness.
 Major Seaman who was with the Japanese army in the Manchurian campaign and gained some idea of war as it should be conducted jolts the American War department by de- claring that it is lin the same pre- historic and imbecile state that has characterized it since its inaugura- tion." He is speaking of sanitary neglect. He can make no such fling at the navy where doctors are in command.

A PERVERTED DISPATCH.

One of our contemporaries the other day perverted an Associated Press dis patch in a way we think that conser- vative and careful news gathering agency would not like if the perver- sion were brought to its notice. The dispatch was one announcing the se- lection of Senator Burrows of Michi gan as temporary chairman of the Ma tional Republican convention.
 The perversiOn consisted in adding that the selection was a great victory for President Roosevelt, inasmuch as Senator Burrows was among the most ardent supporters of Secretary Taft. It was further added in perversion that MT. Burrows as temporary chair man, the contests in the southern states were as good as settled in favor of Secretary Taft.
 If all that were true or probable the Associated Press would not give it ex- pression. A political statement and prognostication of that kind could not be passed through the Associated Press by the payment of $50, 900 or any other sum, it is so contrary to the policy of the news agency and is be- side most damaging reflection upon the integrity of the eminent Michigan senator.
 Besides, Senator Burrows was not President Roosevelt's candidate for the temporary chairmanship. The presi-

SIMPLE WASH CURES ECZEMA.
Itching, Burning Skin Disease Route
 Without Use of Injurious Drugs.

Great inventions often have been praised for surrendering the secrets of their discoveries. Practically the same thing happened in the medical world in the case of Dr. Decatur D. Dennis, the eminent skin specialist of Chi cago.
 Dr. Dennis, in his own office prac- tice, discovered that pure vegetable oil of wintergreen, properly mixed with other simple remedies was prac- tically a sure specific for eczema, psoriasis, barber's itch salt rheum, and other itching skin diseases But the oil of wintergreen alone was found ineffective. It required other mild ingredients such as glycerine and thymol compounded with the winter green, to produce the real eczema cure
 This compounded D. D. D. Prescrip- tion positively takes away the itch at once-the instant it is applied to the skin. This vegetable liquid does away with deleterious drugs so long used in an attempt to doctor the blood, wherein an modern science has determined that eczema is first and all the time a skin disease.
 If you want to know more about the merits of D. D. D. Prescription, call at our store. We vouch for this remedy.

the work of restoring old ideals Of
honesty and equality, as well as for
higher standards of civic duty, one
man has stood pre-eminent, and
that man is Theodore Roosevelt.
Against corruption in every form

action and with that intelligent
leadership which has assured the
establishment of better era In
which the strong and the weak alike
must submit themselves to the i'm

was need of a strong, courageous
spirit to restrain those destructive
forces which have assert<i them
selves in this time of growth and
