 From north and south, from east and west, the caucusees are coming, though one of them at least is not answering the grand jury's loud call with that agility with which he was wont to spring into his place when the whispered word went round or when even an eye-slant indicated a meeting of the caucus.
 We look forward to the approach ing assembling of the caucus with out that apprehension with which we awaited its meetings in the sixty days agone. For we know now that the caucus can do no harm, and it may do a world of good.

THE WAR ON THE CLuRs.

The war on the clubs was begun last night with the introduction and prompt passage of MT. Yaeger's or dinance prohibiting the selling or giv- ing away of intoxicating liquors on Sunday, both midnights inclusive.
 In this action the council had the support of many members of the leading clubs, that is those clubs formed for legitimate club purposes and in which the drinking of liquor is only in- cidental
 The trouble with the club business was that it came to be over done and meant only the moving of saloons up stairs over Sunday.
 It was brought to the attention of the authorities that some of the cheaper lodging houses too, had es- tablished club rooms, where the thirs- ty guest and the thirsty outsider might find spirituous solace on the Sabbath day
 
 United states licenses were posted on the walls to prove that they were playing fair with Uncle Sam.
 Very few people were disposed to interfere with the operations of the recognized and regularly organized clubus. If members drank at all. it was unobtrusively done for members had in mind that the reputations of the organizations must be obtained.
 The other clubs were no more care ful of their membership than the average saloon is-of the character of its patronage. Thus there came about a state of affairs of which the au- thorities were forced to take cog nizance.
 The attempted enforcement of the ordinance will probably provoke a test involving the prfvavy of a club, which We believe was once passed upon by the courts of this territory, coming up on a question whether the Yavapai club was required to take out city and county license. It may turn out that the better way would have been to distinguish by ordinance the different kinds of clubs, for there are clubs and clubs.

THE REPUBLICAN CANDIDATES.

HE hEH U LILLIAN CANDlDAI I ES
 Everything has now been laid aside for the regular city election which the republicans of Phoenix await with confidence. They never had a strong- CT ticket. The candidates for mayor and councilmen are business men first and republicans afterward. That is as it should be, for most of us care little for the political complexion of the council.
 Lloyd B. Christy has for years stood in the front rank of Arizona business men. We can recall not a single movement for the good of the city and the valley, within these last dozen years in which he has not taken an important and effective part It was in a spirit of generous sacrifice that MT Christy yielded to the call for him to add to the burden of his own private business that of the city.
 There is little need to speak of Councilman Marshall, who has been put forward for reimbursement. He has served the county and the city in various capacities for nearly a score of years and in every instance he has served it ably and well.
 Chas. A Stauffer, the first ward candidate, is not a candidate of his own motion Mir Stauffer has no taste for politics, and it was only after strong representations that it was a businessman's council that was wanted that he consented to serve his party
 There is in all Phoenix no more promising young business man. There is no other who has risen so high by his own unaided individual efforts and his most sterling qualities. We believe that there is not another man in town who has so many friends and so few enemies. We be- lieve further, that there is not anoth CT of his age in whom business men have so great confidence.
 Is not this a council ticket of which not only republicans, but all Phoenix may be proud?

every phase OF the governments &C

Usually got what they wanted.
The new system which Taft is
putting into effect will change all
this. Hereafter, instead Of sending
heir estimates direct to congress
he various department heads Will
send them to the secretary OF the
treasury four or five months before
time for congress to convene.
1t will be the duty OF the secre-
tary OF the treasury first to ascer-

Tor the coming fiscal year. Then
when it is determined how much

ONE BREED ON The FARM.
Poultry Can Be Improved on the Same
~ Idea as Stock.


The community idea might be work
ed a great deal more than it is in the
pure bred poultry business. Better
results could be had if the farmers
in a given locality would all keep one
breed of poultry. If they would unite
on some good, popular. easy selling
breeds they would find buyers much
more easily than where each man
keeps a different kind of stock.
With dairy cattle this plan has work
ed wonderfully well for certain groups
of farmers in various parts Of the
country. In Wisconsin there is a dairy
center where almost everybody keeps
Guernseys. In New York state there
Is a region where dozens Of farmers
keep Holsteins. In northern New
Jersey there is another Guernsey cen
ter, and in various parts of the coun-
try there are Jersey and Ayrshire
dairy centerS. In all these localities
there are hundreds Of pure bred ami
mails which can be seen in few
hours. Such a condition becomes
known all over the country, and buy
ers travel hundreds Of miles, know
ing that if they do not find just what
they want at the first farm they are
likely to find it farther on in the same
neighbOrhOOd
In southern Rhode Island breeders
in an accidental way kept a native
class of fowls which later were known
as Rhode Island Reds When this
breed began to attract notice the re-
gion was visited by scores of buyers,
who picked up every decent colored
bird at a fancy price, putting thousands
of dollars into the hands of the farm
ers that they never could have had ex-
pected for the demand at more than
market prices.
If fifty farmers in a neighborhoOd
would unite ON almost any poultry
breed there would be no difficulty
in finding a market. A great many
breeders with n reputation and a
host of regular customers would be
glad to know of locality where they
could buy what extra stock they need
to fill their orders. The farmers
could easily sell the stock themselves
to one of their number or through
one of the New York or Boston con-
Germs which make a speciality Of
pure bred stock in large quantities.
It is not very difficult matter for
the farmer to learn TO sell his stock
on his own account. Fancy birds will
almost sell themselves.

Crocus sativus. which is wild from
Italy to Hurdistan. Saffron may be
reckoned among the very oldest of
vegetable products. being alluded TO in
the Song Of Solomon among other
spices of Lebanon. The name crocus
is Chaldean or Greek and was first
used by Theophrastus Of Eresus about
$50 B. c., and that it was a well
known and admiced flower in Greece
soon afterward is shown by Sophocles.
who mentions the "crocus of golden
beam" in his "Cedipus at Colonos."
The word saffron seems to be a cor
ruption of the Arabic name "al zahafa-
ran" and the product itself was first
imported into England as a spice or
condiment. being also used as a color
or dye for silks and other fabrics of
the eastern looms.
At a later date, exactly when is not

in England. more especially in Essex.
