For the benefit of those who think that ono person has control of the Normal School and all affairs connected with it. we will say that Prof. Taylor issues no arbitrary ord ers in regard to either the Normal or the dormitory, but simply wishes to carry out the wise provision made by the Board of Education. It might also be beneficial to note the regulations in regard to the dormitory. The following are taken from the annu- al catolog fo: this term of school :: All young ladies attending the Normal must either live at home, with their relatives, or at the dormitory. This regulation must be strictly conformed to all who expect to attend the Normal. The experience of the past four years has made it most apparent to the Board of Education and the mem bers of the faculty that such reg ulation is necessary. and it is most sincerely hoped that parents and those responsible for the young ladies attending the Normal may cooperate heartily with the faculty and board in enforcing this salutary regulation. All students living or boarding at the dormitory shall be underline immediate supervision and control of the matron in charge, and shall give cheerful obedience to all rules and regulations made by the matron.

Is Not a Candidate

Henry F. Ashurst. district attor- ney of Coconino county, while in Williams, last week, was interview ed by the News, regarding his plans for the future along political lines. Mr. Ashurst's many friends in Northern Arizona have been in- sisting, lately. that he make some effort to further his political stand ing, and a number have signified their intention to support him for the congressional nomination at the next territorial democratic conven- tion.
 When shown very hattering letter the News had received from one of MT. Ashurst's many admir- CTS in Southern Arizona, asking about his candidacy for congress, he smiled in his usual significant manner he handed Us the following written statement: ''Unde' no cir cumstances would accept the nomi nation for congress in 1908. This statement will be some what of a disappointment to a great many of our readers. who admire Mir. Ashurst for his uncommon ability and his courage. Of course, his friends would not expect him to run off with the congressional honors as easily as he has don with everything else he has tackled, but they would like to see him give some of the old wheel horses" like Mark Smith and Eugene Brady O'Neill a run for their money.
 By making the race MT. Ashurst could gain great deal of desirable advertising. if he did nothing else. but right at present he is serving the people of Coconino county in the capacity of district attorney, and, it seems, does not care to neg lect that duty for the glories of a scrap for the congressional nomi- nation.
