The Coming Boom.

From the Columbus Ohio State Journal.
The stock market continues to point
the way to tremendous Industrial pros
perity Already very high, security
prices show a pronounced tendency to go
higher with the practical completion OF
tariff legislation. In some conspicuous
instances quotations are already far
above what is warranted by present bust
ness conditions or by dividend return. 1t
may be sheer manipulation which has
put them there. but none the less they
show what the financial experts of the
country think of the way things are
tending The stock market always keeps
ahead of the realities The steel indus
try reports steadily increasing activity.
The output of the mills is still consider
ably below normal. but each month re-
cords substantial gain. Railroad earn
ings show consistent and in some cases
rema rkable advances. The general trade
reports are all optimistic. if not as yet
enthusiastic. The final disposition of the
tariff agitation this week may increase
the momentum little. but the great in
fiuence is the crop situation. When it
is known with a reasonable degree OF
certainty that the country is to be blessed
with bumper crops the big boom will
be on.

New Law on Near-Butter.
From the New York World.


If the law which went yesterday into

make-believe butter must confess their
indulgence openly hereafter by legends

and stamps on the separate pats placed
before customers. "Oleomargarine used

state completes the round of restrictive
legislation begun by Congress. Neces-
sarily the national pure-food laws left
an aperture in the hedge. 1t was pro-
vided that oleomargarine travelling about
the country in the original packages
should be labeled and should pay a spe-
cial tax for being colored like butter
Dealers buying the stuff in quantities
knew what they were getting. But when
the mock butter began to be cut up into
portions for boarding house and restau-
rant patrons the chances came for SUBJ

ties the new law cuts off.

The Flying Figure.

The Wright brothers have done more
than upset the physical relations oil man
and the elements by their invention OF
the practicable aeroplane and their DEM
constructions of ability TO fly through the
air They have invaded our colloqulal
speech and robbed it of one of the most
common ioures In the good old days
II is ALWAYS proper to speak of the past
Tins affectionately, whatever it may have
brought of i'll or Woe-When man
wanted to express himself in terms of
the impossible. to denote that which lay
beyond the sphere of human capacity, he
was wont to say: I'D have soon thought
of flying His imagination could go no
further than to conceive himself soaring
like bird. Such an exclamation was re-
garded as a pledge of perfect honesty.
But now all is different. For human flight
is not merely possible; it Is in evidence
Men are flying long distances and at
rapid speeds. The other day man new

A few days later two Americans flew ten
miles in this neighborhood. Human flight
is achieved.
Yesterday in the Senate. in the course
of his explanation of why the democratic
conferees were not called in to unroll a
little red tape with which to tie up the
tariff bill. Mr. Aldrich demonstrated how
readily men can adjust themselves to new
conditions The tariff bill manager was
seeking to put strongly the thought that
no discourtesy had been shown to the MI
nority representatives and said:
II had no more idea that any senator
or member of the House expected that the
conference would be called together than
I had of flying with the Wright brothers
from Fort Myer to Alexandria.
II there was any hesitation after the
word flying" if the senator found him
his hearers did not catch the token. He
moved along as glibly with his figure OF
speech as though the idea of flying from
Fort Myer to Alexandria were a simple,
ordinary concept Still. the statement
lacked force. 1t did not ring with the old
positiveness Of the reference to flight as
unthinkable. For Mr.. Aldrich might have
flown with the Wright brothers. perhaps
if not on that day certainly whenever he
said the word. But as no one has ever
accused the distinguished Rhode Islander
Of being up in the air on any proposition
it is doubtful whether he would under
take this form of amusement at his time
Of life. These considerations, however,
are trivial. The fact to be borne in mind
is that we must henceforth lay guard
upon our tongues when we are tempted to
refer to human fight as the acme Of the
impossible and to remember what is doing
almost daily in the air.

was. The Supreme Court, once over
shadowing everything else, faded from
sight.
Had Gov. Hughes been offered an ap-
pointment to the Supreme bench In the
days of his New York law practice he
would probably have jumped at it. He
was then without political experience or
ambition. His heart was in his profess
sion. and the courtroom bounded his
hopes. But transferred to the political
field he has disclosed remarkable abil-
tiles for politics, and the presidency It
self is not above his range. Maybe a
judicial appontment-even one of the
highest-does not appear to him today
as it once did.
If Gov. Hughes continues in politics
it will be seven years before he will
figure in presidential calculations. Mr..
Taft. if he lives, will be renominated.
and then in the contest for the new
republican leadership, Gov. Hughes
should be a factor

Gov. Hughes and the Bench.
The Topeka Capital:

The Topeka Capital:
Gov Hughes Is to get the first vacancy
on the United States Supreme Court, ac-
cording to a Washington story. But a
good many people are hoping that he
will wait awhile and give the country a
chance to elect him President some day"
Well. Gov Hughes may decide to wait
He may take a leaf out of Mr.. Taft's
book-a volume worth consulting by ca
pable and ambitious public men.
The Supreme Court has always had a
lure for lawyers. The dignity and i'm
portance of the tribunal and the life
tenure of appointments to that bench
appeal strongly to the profession. How
strong the appeal at, one time was to
Mr. Taft he has confessed.
When he received President Mckin-
ley's invitation to come to Washington
Mr.. Taft wondered il a promotion from
the federal circuit bench, upon which he
was then serving. awaited him. He
would have accepted with alacrity. The
courtroom and it's duties were thoroughly
to his taste. and he had no other desire
than to wear a black silk gown all the
rest of his life. But he was offered in
stead an appointment to the Philippines,
and reluctantly accepted
That appointment carried speculation.
Would 1t not prove step to the Su-
preme bench? Would not success at
Manila be rewarded by the return OF
Mr.. Taft to judicial life in a higher post
than he had left at Cincinnati? Some
of his friends hoped 50. and probably
Mr.. Taft shared the hope.
But success in political office gave Mr..
Taft new views about the future, and
changed also the views OF his friends
for him. The presidency appeared on
the horizon. Why not Taft as the sue
cessor of Roosevelt. and especially as
Roosevelt himself was so warmly in
favor of the proposition? And Taft it

The Senate Situation.

The point made by Mr.. Daniel in the
Senate yesterday was important as be-
tween himself and Mr.. Aldrich. but not
otherwise. There seems to have been a
misunderstanding. Mr.. Daniel expected
the democratic conferees to be called in as
soon as the republicans had reached an
agreement and in time to weigh the
agreement fully before II was reported to
the Senate. Mr.. Aldrich did not so under
stand Taking the ground that the bust
ness in hand was for the republicans TO
handle he kept II in their charge until
the end was reached.
AS a matter of ceremony it might have
been we'll to follow Mr.. Daniels idea. But
as a matter of business such course
would have been without profit. The
democratic conferees could not at any
stage of the conference have added a
line to the tariff bill. or taken one away.
debate was in progress. The differences
with which the conference was dealing
were between the republicans of the
House and the republicans of the Senate

At the present stage of the game the
democrats. naturally, are flirting with the
republican insurgents. They would be
glad to see the republican majority in the
Senate thrown into complete confusion
and the conference report dished Their
votes are at command for the forwarding
of any combination looking to that end.
And yet if what they say about the
tariff bill is true; if it is a Reputation

denies TO the people the relief they
what better course could the democrats
pursue than one of acquiesence in the
republican program? Why not rejoice at
the prospect of seeing the bill become
law? If the bill is a botch and a fraud.

reveal the fact, and the party responsible
be defeated at the polls?
We must make allowances for party

Suggestions for Good
 Roads and Bridges

If there is one thing more than any
 other that IS needed in the county, it
 is bridge at or quite near to Charles
 ton. Of course it takes bridges, cul-
 verts and drains to assist in the mak.
 ing of roads, and in the road system of Cochise county one of the import ant arteries is the road to the Hua. chucas via Charleston. This is an important work that should not be delayed, for the bridge should be in by all means before the summer rains. The present board of supervisors are without doubt going to make a good. roads record this year and they could make no better move than to get this bridge at Charleston at the earliest moment. And when they build the bridge they should throw the road near the Pittsburg-Arizona mine out of the sash and keep it up on the level hill that follows the wash from that point to the river. It will take put little york to construct the piece ,f new road that should lead to the | bridge, which undoubtedly will be coated to the upper side of the pres- nt ford.

Senate May Oppose
 Admission of Arizona

A Washington, D c, dispatch gays that there are indications of a lively contest in the senate over the bill to admit Arizona and New Mexico into the union. A canvass has just been con pleted by several southwestern senators to ascertain the sentiment of the senate with respect to these bills, and it is declared that sixty-one sen- ators, or more than a majority are ready to vote for the measure.
 The situation indicates a possible effort on the part of friends of the bill to discharge the committee on terri tories from consideration of the bill immediately after it comes from the house.
 If this action is decided upon it will be due to the fact that it is under stood tha. Senator Beveridge and s majority of the committee on terri. tories are opposed to action at this session and favor deferring the pas sage of the measure until after the next census.
