On the Automobile Map

Phoenix is on the automobile map. to stay. It occupies a very conspicu- ous place on the map. That it does so is. Of course, a matter of pride to The Republican, which initiated the Los Angeles Phoenix endurance run last year by offering a silver cup as a prize-the same cup being one of the attractions this year. Most of the local credit, however. belongs to the local association of automobile en- small one. They have done a great service to this city. in an advertising way. And everybody appreciates the sportsmanship of the Los Angeles gentlemen who took the risks.
 The race of last year was a great one This years was greater. Indeed, that wonderful run from Los Angeles 10 Phoenix, graphically described in our news columns yesterday. will live long in automobile history. It was watched with interest from all parts of the world. and no wonder. As an endurance run. the Los Angeles -Phoe- nix trip has had no equal for trying conditions within a similar distance. The machines which succeeded in get ting through at that heart-breaking pace deserve, each of them. to rank as mechanical marvels. The several me chanical marvels. The several ma chimes which crossed that forbidding desert will appear in tnmorrow's races at the fair.

Big, strong man is as a helpless in- fant when he is suddenly i'll. The sturdiest chap in town usually loses his self control. and is utterly unable to regard his condition with the common sense that characterizes his everyday actions.
 For example: He comes home tired. eats a heavy dinner. and sits down to read and smoke away quiet evening.
 Suddenly he notices a weight on his stomach: then sharp pains around his heart, and a feeling of suffocation. Thoughts of heart disease" rush over him. and in his agony he fears the worst.
 His trouble was acute indigestion brought on by overlooking his tired stomach

It is not probable that President Tart will fill the vacancy on the su- preme bench. caused by the death of Justice Peckham, until congress meets. next month. Meanwhile. rumor will be busy with the names of various lawyers of eminence. The latest name suggested is that of Judge Alton B. Parker. Presumably the president will name a democrat. Judge Parker had long and brilliant record of service on the bench when he accepted the democratic nomination for president in 1904, and he is good timber for the supreme bench.

Taft's Mountain of Work

When President Taft reaches his new executive offices in Washington this evening he will be confronted with a staggering accumulation of work If any private citizen of this republic imagines for a fleeting mo- ment that the president leads life of luxurious ease, let him ponder upon some of the things MT. Taft must at tend to within the next few weeks One must wonder how a single human body and mind can accomplish all that the presidents position at present demands.
 During the weeks that he was swinging around the circle he had lit- tie time to attend to his executive duties. When he was not making speeches he was conferring with del- egations or studying local conditions. His return to the capital is eagerly awaited by a horde of hungry office seekers impatient for him to jar the plum tree. Since the special session of congress adjourned the president has made few appointments. There are a number of important places to fill At the head of the list is the vacancy on the supreme court bench caused by the death of Justice Peck hama position which pays s12,50O annually for life. An ambassador to Great Britain must be named, at salary of sI7 500 year; an ambassa- dor to Austria, at the same salary; minister to China at the same salary; assistant secretary of the treasury. at S4.5OO a year; assistant secretary Of the department of labor and com merce. at a salary of s4.500; district judge at Chicago at a salary of s6.OOO; postmaster at Washington, at a salary of ss.oOO; governor of New Mexico. at $5,000 Besides these there are a dozen important depart mental vacancies and various minor diplomatic changes and appointments
 Filling offices, however, will be mere incidental work. The president returns to Washington to find this country in a bitter tariff war with Germany. Canada and France. Upon his broad shoulders rests the respon- sibiIity of putting into effect the max imum and minimum features of the new law. To be sure. he has tariff commission to help him, but he alone must decide the issues. The report of the currency commission must be studied and modified. All the more important committee chairmen will be called into conference before con gress assemblies. It is more than likely that the president will make another effort to shave down govern ment expenses And all this time the president must be catching up with his correspondence and receiving delegations and party leaders. and in the intervals he must write his mes sage to congress, which meets within
