fore the day is past. That some of the

the grounded suspicion to be given a

The Phoenix Way.

If the christmas spirit means charity, that spirit has been abroad in Phoenix during the past week u is not probable that the people of any other community in the United States took greater pains to look after those who were in distress. The stores. large and small. the Elks, the Salva- tion Army, the Associated Charities, the churches, other organizations. and a host of citizens interested them selves in seeing to Il that every case of reported need was looked after.
 Happily, there is Ness distressing noverty in Phoenix and the Salt River valley than in any other population Inf like size in the country, but where there are so many thousands of peo- ple there is bound to be a conslder- ab1e number of the needy and unfor- tunate The acute distress is nearly always found in cases of late corners

Mir. Hearst's Peace Proposal.

The resourceful and original Mir. Hearst has worked out. scheme for assuring the peace of the world. and appropriately makes it known as Christmas offering. It is to be feared. however, that it is scarcely more practical than some of the other ideas with which Mir Hearsts name has become conspicuously- identified. al though he assures us that it is 'nei- ther visionary nor iHpraeticable" His proposal in brief is that President Taft shall summon Roosevelt home and commission him" to be the evan gel of peace among the nations of the world
 MT Hearst, who has been one of the most persistent advocates of a greater American navy, now decides that the time has come for q change in our policy. He truthfully points out that the prevailing spirit of mili- tarism is converting the civilized nations into armed camps, and that consequent bankruptcy of most of the European countries is in sight. The time has arrived, he thinks. for the United States to take the lead in making q worldwide peace pact, and he is quite correct, of course, when, he says that If the United States. with England. Germany. Rus sia and Japan, should join hands to make it. there would never be more wars in the world" As everybody knows. however. acceptance of this premise does not lead us far. The difficulty has always been that the

A PARDONABLE CRIME.

A near chemist. possessing consid- erable natural ability. experHnented after hours. and worked out a good counterfeit of patent nostrum known as Petunia. He put it on the market and in time was arrested He lay in the county. jail for nearly six months before his case came to trial before Judge Willard M. Me- Ewen.
 The lawyer for the defense argued his client had been punished suf- ficiently. but the medicine company wanted the prisoner kept in jail a few months longer. After hearing these arguments Judge McEwen said:
 "I know nothing of the merits of Petunia. but I will take judicial cog nizance of the fact that friend of mine drinks large quantities of it, from which I conclude it must be about 40 per cent booze. That being the case. I do not believe the pris- oner committed a grave offense when he counterfeited it. and I will dis charge him."-Chicago Evening Post.

conoratuIations to Yavapai.

One of the most important pieces of news the people of Arizona have read in a long time is the announce rnent printed in a dispatch from Prescott in yesterdays Republican that the Humboldt shelter will re- sume operations March l.
 The closing of this smelter. two years ago. was a disaster to the mln- ing industry of Yavapai county and central and western Arizona. Fly affording a ready market for ores whether in large or small lots the smelter had stimulated mining and prospecting to such an extent that the business was on a verltable poofl' Having the advantage of very low freight rates for their ores over the Santa Fe branch lines. miners were enabled to work their properties and sell their ores, thus making prospects and mines pay the expenses or de- >eloument. Hundreds of men were at work in the hills. a large force was employed at the smelter, and the great quantity of money placed Tn CIT culati1 1n bv the operation of the smell ter gave an impetus to all lines oi husiness. The city of Prescott. and the towns of Humboldt and Mayer had a prosperity which was largely due to the operation of the smelter Phoenix and the Salt River valley did a large business with the mining camps to the north and west. As we have said. the closing of the smeltei was a disaster to the mining busi- ness, and it can be said in truth thai the bad effects were felt generally ir the mining districts.
 The resumption of smelting al Humboldt, even on the scale of for mer operations. would be of immeas- urable benefit to all central Arizona And. fortunately. the reopening of the plant means far more than mere re- sumption. The smelter has been re- built. and is now strictly modern ii very way, and has much larger ca pacity.
 Particularly to Prescott and Yava' pal county, we extend congratulations

Relative to the proposed concrete bridge to span the Salt river at the foot of Center street. it ought not to be difficult for contractors to build structure that should stand for all time. Imperfectly as the 'ancients" understood the manufacture of cement and the construction of concrete buildings and bridges, there are still good bridges of concrete that are many hundreds of years old. In the south of France there is, for example. concrete arch bridge known as the Ponl du Gard, which was erected in the year 56 B. C. The Cement Age" points out that it is very improbable that the Pont du Gard would have withstood the rigors of climate of the northern United States. but it's actual state of preservation, as well as that of many other specimens of ancient concrete work, proves that if modern work is honestly executed it will many times outlast any reasonable bond period. so that a very small yearly sinking fund per cent is all that is required for properly de- signed and erected concrete work

The American Magazine for Janu- ary contains another installment of the "Barbarous Mexico" articles. The Mexican Herald makes a conservative criticism of these articles in these words: Tt would be nearer the truth to say that every statement in the 'Barbarous Mexico articles is disin- genuous. misleading and malevolent than that every statement is false. Some of the statements are true. some are half-truths (the worst kind of lie), but the general impression re- ceived by a reader personally unac- uuainted with Mexico is liable in any case unless he knows how to make allowances for sensationalism. to be wholly erroneous, and little can be accomplished by attempted direct refutations. simply for the reason that the condition of nation is a subject far too vast and too complex to be adequately conveyed in articles that stand any chance of being read. Mex ico's best response to vicious attacks is the invitation which she extends to all without misgiving and without fear: Come and see for yourselves, But come with an open and candid mind.'"

If the United States treats Central America as a preserve into which no other power may intrude" remarks the London Spectator. ''it is bound to prevent it from becoming an in ternatipnal nuisance. At present Nicaragua eminently deserves this de- scription." And this. indeed, is log ical deduction from the Monroe doc Urine.

idea of permanent peace. while ap- plauded by all nations in the abstract. has not been adopted by them in con- crete proposals. The two Hague con- ferences have been farcical in their results. The suggestion that the United States should take the lead in putting into effect policy of dis armament is by no means new. As soon as we have completed our sys- tenn of coast defenses. both conti- mental and insular, Uncle Sam may with safety, in the judgment of many of our statesmen. say to the world that he will rest coptent with the size of his army and the size of his navy. and let other nations go ahead and bankrupt themselves building na- vies and increasing armies. if they choose.
 But MT. Hearst is strongly original in proposing that Mir Roosevelt shall be called home, clothed as a dove of peace. and sent forth to persuade the world to turn it's swords into corn knives. Mir. Hearst thinks. that Mir. Roosevelt, on account of the warm friendship existing between him and William of Germany. ought to begin his peace mission with the war lord. and that he would succeed in leading the German emperor into an aban- donment of his warlike attitude. Thereafter, MT. Hearst believes. NIT, Roosevelt's work would be easy. King Edward. Czar Nicholas. and the em- peror of Japan, would gladly fall in line. And here again MT. Hearsts premises are sound; but as before, there is an "if'' in the person of Elm peror William, who has steadily de- clined even to consider all sugges- tions looking to limitation of prepa- rations for war.
 And another 'if' of discouraging size is MT. Roosevelt himself. It is almost grotesquely funny. in fact, this idea of making MT. Roosevelt our apostle of disarmament Still, since the conversion of Mir Hearst. it is not impossible to hope that Mir Roosevelt will change his opinions.
