PHOENIX ARIZ., MARCH l, 1908.
THE COMMITTEE ACTED
 JITDICIOUSLY.

The members of the republican exec utive committee at Tucson refrained from butchering each other to make a democratic holiday. The opposition had looked forward with pleasant anticipa- tion 10 yesterdays gathering as mark ing the beginning of an open inter necine republican war, when in fact there was nothing then to war about, whether or not there will be later on. The committee very properly and wise ly confined itself to the business for which at had come together, displaying a far greater insight into Arizona re- publican politics than Manager Hitch cock who urged an expression by the committee in favor of Secretary Taft. Assuming that such an expression could have been made as the commit tee happened to be constituted, it would have been of less than no value to Mir Taft and those in the territory who are actually supporting his candi- racy
 
 delegation from Arizona shall be in structed for MT. Taft has long since passed out of the jurisdiction of any committee. The settlement of it will rest entirely with the mass of the re- publican voters when the proper time has come.
 It would be well for all who are on lone side or the other in this matter to exercise throughout the campaign the same good judgment displayed by the committee yesterday and leave the question to the voters to decide, for they will decide it any how.
 If they want an instructed delegation for NIT. Taft or any other man their wants will be made known to their delegates to the county conventions and by the county conventions, in turn. to the territorial convention. If it should ther appear that a majority of the republican votes are for instruc- ti0ns instructions will be given. not at the order of President Roosevelt to his federal officials but at the order of Arizona republicans to their properly chosen representatives.
 In the meantime there is no need for gentlemen for or against instructions 10 work themselves into fever of ex- citement and into storm of i'll feeling toward each other over a matter in which they ought to be no more deeply concerned than any other good repub- hcans who are neither holding office nor wanting to hold office, but whose interest in the subject is purely pa triotic and partisan; who want to clo only that which is best for the ter r, tory and territorial republicanism.
 As we have often said and as w think we have cOnvincingly sh,ovl, there can be no advantage but .,It disadvantage in instruction. W, e- lieve that a very large majority ol re- publicans are already satisfied on that point. At any rate they are fully awake to their duty and their privilege and the politicians may. feel assured that they will perform the one and claim the other in mass meeting or primary.

A sACRILEGIous CRIME.

A week ago this morning a man, who later avowed that he was an anarchist joined the worshippers at a Roman Catholic church at Denver, and after pended knee at the altar rail. drew d revolver and shot the ministerinS priest. When captured after violent struggle he declared that he did not know the priest and that the act was inspired by a grudge against priests in general.
 It is improbable that the sacrilegious crime in St. Elizabeth's church was deliberately actuated by anarchists, al- though it was the legitimate outcome of the blatant anarchist principles which are disseminated freely by speakers and writers in this country. It will doubtless be found that the assassin is q lunatic, pure and simple. and that the crime was suggested by the fulminations of men and women who arc themselves too cowardly to carry their threats into execution.
 The murder of this innocent and un- offending Franciscan should be accept ed as warning by anarchist propa- gandists. They are broadcast sewers of dragons teeth. while at the same time they carefully abstain from the actual commission of crimes which would subject them to punishment

ties for the commerce and industry of all nations in China"
 If a protest must be made against the behavior of Japan in Manchuria, manifestly Great Britain has the prior right to make it. In the treaty be- tween Russia and Japan of July 30, 1907, and in the agreement between Great Britain and Russla, signed Aug ust 3l. 1907, pledges are given to re spect the territorial and administra- tive integrity of the existing sovereign ties in the far east, and to promote in those quarters the fullest application of the principle of the open door for all nations. Thus it apears that Great Britain. Russia and Japan have announced and assumed an obligation to do the very thing which our tardy protest would seek tO accomplish. In view of these facts. reports of any re- mOnstrace on our part will be little likely to receive wide Credencc.

THE Use OF MISTER"

The south will doubtless be much
perturbed to learn that it is not an
offense to address a negro as Mister"
but the courts have so held. Christie
pher Brooks, a witness in a trial In
the municipal court of Wilmington,
Del, referred to a negro witness as
Mr." johnson. The court warned
Brooks not to refer to Johnson or to
any other negro as Mr." and Brooks
persisted. Judge Cochran declared
Brooks guilty of contempt of court and
sent him to jail for forty days. On
habeas corpus proceedings the supe-
rior court discharged the prisoner, de-
claring:
The Judge of the municipal court was
wholly without authority or jurisdiction

court. He had no more right TO punish
as a contempt the addressing or RETIRING
to a colored person as Mr." or Mrs"
than he should be to punish as a contempt

born persons or persons having eyes and
hair of a particular color which might be
offensive to him. The use OF the terms
as applied TO colored persons or others
could not interfere or obstruct the orderly

1t is dificult to understand why the

of the right to be designated as Mis-
ter" but the sentiment in the south
is very settled and determined on that
point. There has been some change
In the. south's treatment of the negro.
Recently the feeling has grown rather
general that If the is real civil
and polite about it, he should be al
lowed to vote the democratic ticket,

When Colonel william Jennings
Bryan ran the steam roller over Colo
mel James McClurg Guffey Of Pennsyl-
vsnia at the Denver convention and
then responded to an encore and fat
tened the Pennsylvania colonel beyond
recognition, the feat was hailed in
democratic circles as the redemption
of the party in Pennsylvania and the
dawn Of a new day for the Bryanites
of the Keystone state. After rolling
Colonel Gufey down the steps from
the convention hall and trampling
upon him until everybody was tired
Of the sport, Mr.. Bryan's agents went
over to Colonel Gufey's headquarters
and selected James Kerr to be demo-
cratic national committeeman for
Pennsylvania. Then Colonel Guffey
went home.
When the Pennsylvania state demo-
cratic committee met at. Harrisburg
the other day, Colonel Guffey showed
that he possesses a steam roller of his
own and is expert in its operation. 1t
was put to work first on James Kerr,
who was given a perfect imitation Of
what happened to Colonel Guffey at
Denver. He was fred from the state
committee and all of his adherents
were promptly read out of the party.
The state committee then selected
Colonel Guffey as its chairman by
unanimous vote. 1t also chose him as
the national committeeman for Penn
sylvania and adopted resolutions en-
dorsing Bryan, Kern and Guffey.
While the big majority of the dele
gates to the Denver convention voted
to unseat enough of the Pennsylvania
deleeates-at Bryan's order-to de
feat the selection of Colonel Guffey as
national committeeman, 1t was gen.
orally admitted that tie proceeding
was rather high-handed and without
warrant. 1t was made plain that
Bryan wanted the proceedings de-
Guffeyized and Bryan's rule was abso-
Lutte at Denver. 1t is different, how
ever, in Pennsylvania, where the demo-
Gratis will have no other peerless leader
than Colonel Guffey. They will vote
for Bryan in convention and some may
do SO at the polls, but in state affairs
It is Guffey first and Bryan a trailing
second.

CARING FOR THE STREETS.

A letter from a citizen, scolding
somewhat because the local authorities
have not given proper attention to the
public streets, touches a phase of mu-
nicipal housekeeping that has not had
due attention in Omaha. 1t is hardly
worth while at this time to go into the
causes for existing conditions, al
though they may be properly set down
as the heritage of times when Omaha
was struggling with its growth and
the citizens were prone to adopt make
shifts rather than permanent methods
in dealing with problems. Whatever
the cause, the result has been that the
streets have not had proper attention.
t is not only in the matter of
s%prinkling, although that is a serious
phase Of the problem, but in the gen.
eral work of maintenance, that the ad-
ministration is at fault. A properly
organized system of street sprinkling
would not only add greatly to the COM
fort of the city, but would tend in a
great measure to reduce the cost of
keeping up the thoroughfares. For
illustration, II the surface of the un-
paved streets were carefully sprinkled
at least once each twenty-four hours
the roadways would not be ground to
dust during the period between rain
showers, and when the rain did come
would not so readily wash away and
be deposited as mud on the paved
streets, to be removed at a considera-
BILE expenditure of time and money.
Not only would the unpaved streets be
protected by this care, but the paved
streets would be kept cleaner. Other
benefits readily suggest themselves to
any who will give the matter study.
1t might be we'll for the charter
makers, while they are giving thought
to other allied questions, to undertake
the establishment of a department that
will provide for the systematic sprink-
ling Of the city's streets. This can be
done without seriously adding to the
burden of taxes due to the cost OF gov
eminent, although 1t Will require the
Encouragement of some of the depart
ments as they now exist. Omaha is
backward in the care of its streets and
ought to try to get in line with modern
ways Il this regard.

ANOTBER CHANCE FOR CUBA,

Governor Magoon's announcement
that the only part to be played by the
American forces in Cuba at the gem
eral elections to be held IN August will
be the preservation of order and the
guaranty of a fair and honest election
is In perfect keeping with our record
as guardian Of Cuban affairs. The
government has no interest in the po-
litical affairs of the island, but is con-
cerned only in using every means at
its disposal to secure the establishment
of a stable government, just as it in
sisted upon an honest election at Pan
anna a few weeks ago.
1t is generally admitted that the Au-
gust election will mark a turning point
in the AFFAIRS of the island. 1t will
mean a beginning of a wave of pros
perity or the beginning of trouble, and
many who are familiar with the condi-
tions are apprehensive Of a repetition
OF the difficulties of 1906, when the
Palma government collapsed and the
United States was compelled again to
establish a p~rotectorate, In accordance
with the terms of the Platt amend
ment.
There are three political parties in
! the field in Cuba, each having a candi-
date for president. The leading candi-
dates are General Gomez and Alfred
Zayas. Gomez is one of the old lead
ers of the revolution against Spaip
and is the idol OF the people in the
rural districts, while Zayas is q shrewd
politician who has the urban popula-
ton pretty we'll organized for his sup
port. The third candidate Is General
Menocal, a wealthy planter, who may
withdraw and throw his support 20
Gomez.
Well-informed Cubans believe that
II Gomez Is elected the result will be
accepted and the way paved for the
establishment of a stable government
OF the republic, but II zsyas should be
successful at the polls, Il is practically
