THE ONE DRINK roo MUCH

The captain of the battleship Georgia, on the cruise around the world, has been rt-martialed and found guilty of be- ing drunk at reception on shore at Tangicr.
 It raises question as to what naval officer is expected to do at reception.
 What are receptions to naval officers for, anyway
 Temperance has its undeniable vir- tues. The man who gets drunk on duty. particularly If his duty be SO responsible as that of commanding battleship, cannot be too severely censured or too strictly punished
 But the taking of drink or two too much at a reception on shore is an entirely different case.
 From time beyond reckoning recep- tions to army and naval officers have been attended by heavy drinking. It is a world wide custom, and the oficer who would decline to drink would very likely be regarded as churl.
 Many naval men, no doubt, are dis pleased with the custom It often places them under tremendous strain. They are expected to drink copiously, and upon their ability to withstand the ef- fleets depends in sense the honor of the United States government It is a poor test, perhaps, but 1t prevails.
 If the captain of the Georgia drank too much he is only the victim of an es- tablished custom, which is countenanced by all naval men the world over. The remedy win never be found in public ly disgracing the man or otherwise pun ishing him. It lies only in abolishine the custom. A court-martial trying . man for drinking at reception, and made up of men who have themselves repeatedly drank at receptions. is very much of a farce. The navy department may take it seriously. but the public cannot
 The accused captain declares that hs was not intoxicated, but was tired out He ought not to have offered that de fense. He ought to have set up tho plea that if he was not drunk he ought to have been. He was probably very lonesome. if sober.
 It is easy to say that man ought t nicely measure his drinks at banquets and elsewhere. But with most men it Ii more easily said than done. The an cient imbecile who sought to guage th' height of food by chalk mark on hi boat was in very much the same condi tion as the average man, who, having embarked on the sea of liquor, tries t decide when he has had enough.

 THE RANGER ON HIS MERITS
 As stated in yesterdays Silver Belt, a petition is being circulated in Globe asking the legislature to reconsider it's action in attempting to abolish the rangers of Arizona. A counter petition was started yesterday and there will undoubtedly be a lively scrap in the legislature before the matter is finally settled Much of the bitter feeling against the legislature for attempting to eliminate the rangers was prompted by the belief--and there was ground for this conclusion--that it was purely a political shot aimed at Governor Kib- bey.
 The question is now being argued on its merits.
 The silver Belt believes, as it pre- vfously stated. that if there was ever necessity for a company of rangers in Arizona that conditions have not suf- fciently changed to modify the neces- sity.
 Arizona is far from being densely populated.
 There are sections visited by the rangers not frequented by other ofi- cers, and that they do offer protection cannot be successfully denied.
 It is also true that since the foru.a- tion of the ranger company crime of all kinds has been reduced to minimum in these isolated places and train rob berries are incidents fast fading from our memories. as far as they pertain to this territory.
 That this protection is still needed goes without saying. If it can be more cheaply secured in the employment of some other brand of officers, well and good.
 The people should be safeguarded be- fore the protection that is now given is removed.
 It is held by those who would banish the ranger company that only three counties in the territory are benefited by this annual expenditure of about Sso,ooo. This is only partially correct. It is true that most of the offenders are captured in the border counties, but is mt this a compliment to the efficiency of the ranger force7 The criminals are apprehended right at the gates of Ari- zona, and are either driven back into Mexico, or are incarcerated and pun ished for their depredations.
 Should we take down this barrier and permit them to overrun the entire ter ritory?
 Shouldn't the people of all Arizona be willing to stand for the expense of this good work7
 The people in the border counties are compelled to bear the expense of their convictions, as we'll as to pay their pro rata of the cost of maintaining the rangers
 In New Mexico, territory with a greater population than Arizona, at this very minute, ranger company is being organized for the protection of the people. The people of New Mexico state that they were prompted to take this action because the rangers of Ari- zona had driven all the bad men into that territory and that the ordinary peace officers found it impossible to cope with them.
 IN ORDER THAT THE CRIMINAL GLASSES MIGHT HAVE SOME PEACE OF MIND AND ETERNALLY GREEN FIELDS FOR BROWSING, ARIZONA SHOULD NOW REMOVE THE BARS AND PERMIT THEM TO ENTER THIS TERRITORY

Bismarck and 3.

Bismarck had an intense aversion to
10, but a veneration for the num-
Der g. His reasons for his pre-
ELECTION we're that he served three
masters; he was responsible for and
fought in three great wars; he signed
three treaties of peace; he arranged
the meeting of three emperors; he es-
tablished the triple alliance; in the
Franco Prussian war three horses were
killed under him; he had three names
bismarck, Schoenhausen and Lauen-
burg; he acquired three titles Count
prince. duke; the ancient arms of his
family are a leaf of clover and three
oak leaves. His family motto, In
trinitate robur" CStrength in trim

give a leaning in this particular direc-
ton. SO closely were his feelings as

His Coincidence.

An English lord used to tell a story
of a sheriff substitute he once knew
slightly.
Although be was a very religious
man, the sheriff had his faults, aud
one of these was that he had habit
of using strong language without re-
alizing what his words implied The
sheriff's best friend was the minister
of the parish. and great misfortune
befell the reverend gentleman by the
death of his wife.
The sheriff wished to express his
sympathy, but he found himself quite
at loss to know what to say. He
sat for long time scratching his head
and puzzling himself to know what he
could say to the minister. At last he
blurted out, "Well, minister, this is a
ID of a business. "-LOndOn Express

NESTS IN GULF WEED.
Breeding Place of the Flying Fish In

the Sarsasso Sea.
In the middle Of the north Atlantic

covered with floating seaweed. 1t was
known as the Mar de Sargaco to Co

Is the Sargasso sea of modern geog-

The floating seaweed was formerly
supposed to have grown near the Ba-
hama and Florida shores and to have
drifted to it's present position. 1t is
now, however, known to grow aud
propagate itself where it is found Ia
it are found globular masses Of weed
containing fish eggs and known as fish
nests
Investigations show that the floating
weed OF the Sargasso sea is the chosen
breeding place of species of flying Dish.
The eggs found in the nests were at
tributed to certain species OF fish found
resting on them. but careful examina-
ton of the eggs shows that they really
belong to flying fish.
Apparently. however. the flying 6sh
