THINKS HE IS NOW BEHIND THE
 TIMES
From Thursday's Daily)


 After disposing of his large land and stock interests in the Thumb Butte section to Edgar R. Sullivan, Frank Spence, ' pioneer of Yavapai county, who has resided in this vicinity for the past thirty years, announced yesterday that he intended visiting the isthmns of Panama shortly in order to see the great project now under way there.
 Mr. Spence came nero from Mis- souri when the Apaehes were on the warpath and tho rocky Teeosscs of the surrounding mountains were havens or refuge for many noted criminals and outlaws from other states. iio stated yesterday that business conditions had undergone such n great change since his arrival here, and had made such rapid strides, that he considered him self somewhat behind the times, as far as modern methods were concerned, and that he thought the witnessing of a great undertaking, like the digging or the Panama canal, and tho famiilar'z' ing of himself with tho conduct of at' fairs on large scale, would tend to place him in better position to deai with the younger generation of busi- ness men.
 He expects to be absent for several months

 WILL OPERATE.
lFrom Wednesday's DalyJ

FL PAsO, Tex, Jan. 14.-Dr. l.. D. | Rickctts, general manager of the Greene.Cananea Copper company, who came up from the Sonora camp, stated that there was nothing definite about the time the Cananea mines and reduc. ton plant would open up again, this depending entirely upon the financial condition in the east and the quoted price of copper.
 In the meantime the mines and re. ducing plant of the Cananca properties are being actively developed and i'm. proved so that when the company again begins active operations everything will be in condition for long and pros. porous run. The Puertacitas group of mines above the Ronquillo district are being developed and number of valu. able veins of ore discovered in the side of the Cananca mountain. The America mine is also being worked and much high grade ore found there.

 Ricketts' statement and when com. | pleted will be moro convenient and

The Passinn of the Equator,

In an editorial note commenting upon
the statement made by Rear Admiral
Robley D. Evans-in his interesting ar
ticle Taking the Fleet for a Fight or
q Frolic'-that there were several Of
ficers and men in the fleet who had
never crossed the equator. Hampton S
Broadway Magazine explains that this
is accounted for by the fact that the
use of the Suez Canal makes ii possible
for our ships to go to and return from
foreign stations in Europe and the
East without crossing the Line. 1t
also alludes to the fact that the eQua-
torial ocean regions will he rendered
more lonely after the completion of the
Panama Canal Which will eliminate the
long and tedious passage around Cape
Horn. IL this connection some striking
figures of the shortening of the dis
tance between New York and the Ori-
completion of this great waterway are
given. 1t will shorten the distance to
Manila by $50 miles, to Hongkong by
5,437 miles, and to Yokahamt by 6.437
miles, and to Yokohama by 6,112 miles,
the distance from New York by the
straits of Magellan being G,2O5 miles,
and only 1908 miles by way of the
Isthmus.
1t is impossible to estimate the
changes both naval and commercial
which will be brought about by the
completion of this great waterway
which American brain and enterprise
is pushing so rapidly to completion.

VOICES OF THE PRESS.
A Grotesque Outrage.
New York SUM


A number of newspapers in different
parts of the country in commenting
upon President Roosevelt's recent out
break base their observations upon the
alleged reprehensible course which the
Sun has pursued in relation to the So
called Panama scandal. Even SO lntei-
ligent and respectable a paper as the
Nashua Telegraph takes this ground
and delivers itself of structures which
would be none too severe were there
any justification for them in facts
The Sun has never printed anything
about the Panama matter, and Presl-
dent Roosevelt never charged 1t with
doing so. Our opinion OF that So
called scandal from its inception has
been that it had no basis Whatever
and that in SO far as it was sought to
implicate Mr.. Douglas Robinson ana
Mr.. Charles P. Taft it was simply a
grotesque outrage.
Daily Kennebec journal., 1908-12-16
The Panama Canal Matter.

President Roosevelt's message with
reference to the notorious libel with
reference to the Panama Canal pur-
chase, published by one or two news
papers is a clincher. 1t is a complete
statement Of the facts in the matter
facts well known to the American peo-
pie The libel was such palpable
concoction of yellow journalism, that
very few newspapers noticed it. II
was a dirty, contemplate tissue of
falsehoods, and clearly recognized as
such by the general public Even the
Democratic National committed nun
CRY as it was for campaign material,
that organization clearly perceived that
it was a clumsy fake, easy to disprove,
and that We're they to use it with the
voters it would inevitably prove a
boomerang. AS President Roosevelt
well says it was a libel not only upon
the gentlemen whom it sought to
smirch by name, but it also
is a libel upon our govern
ment and the good name of the Ameri-
can people. Only a very few papers
We're guilty of publishing it, and they
are placed today before the country in
a most unenviable light.
There was nothing about the pur-
chase of the Panama Canal property
| that was not clean, open, and above
board. The American people Were
kept in touch with the facts at every
stage of the proceedings. There wa.
nothing in the entire matter that wa!
/ in any way discreditable either to thi
country or France. or which any mem
| ber of either government had thu
1 slightest reason to be ashamed of.

Decrease in Army Desertions.

1t is evident that the determined ef-
fort of the war department to lessen
the number of desertions from the ar
my have met with a fair measure of
success. This has been accomplished in
part by making conditions more favor
able for the enlisted men, and i'll part
by increased vigilance in hunting down
and Furnishing such offenders. During
the fiscal year 1908 the desertions
amounted to only 4.6 per cent. of the
whole number of enlisted men, as
against IA per cent. in the fiscal year
1906 The fact that the comparatively
greater number of desertions for the
airy branch of the service, indicates
that the care of horse, which is offset
by the privilege Of riding On long mar
ches in time of active service, becomes
merely an additional and irksome duty
in times Of peace.
Boise barracks, Idaho seems to be
the least desirable home for soldiers
in the service, the number of desertions
there for the past fiscal year reaching
16.5 per cent. Whether this is due tc
the greater cheerlessness of the quar-
ters, to more rigid discipline, or to the
general dreariness of the place does not
appear, but it is doubtless a matter
that will be given careful consideration
by the department with view to as
certaining the underlying facts.
In the matter of desertions the col
ored troops make a specially good
showing. The percentage of desertions
among them was only 0.57 per cent.
while it was 475 per cent. among the
white troops. The spring months al
ways show a greater number of descr-
tons than any other part of the year.
special spirit of restlessness appear
ing to pervade the enlisted men at mat
season.
