Speaking of the selection of Geo. U. Young as territorial secretary, the Tucson Post says: The Post takes great pleasure in the ap- pointment of MT. Young. He is known to be capable and we'll qualified for the multifarious duties of the office. That he will make good goes without saying.

AFTER THE GUN TOTERS

All over the country is the thought pressing home with force that something must be done to regulate and control the sale of pocket firearms and the carrying of such weapons, says the Topeka State Journal. Chicago hit upon a proposition to prevent their sale except to such persons as secured permits to carry them from the chief of police. Lawyers declared this to be unconstitutional and an ordinance to this effect was not put in force.
 They are wrestling with the sub- feet in New York state, and bill is before that state legislature which proposes that manufacturers of re- volvers and dealers who sell them at retail must keep record of the weapons sold. with the names and addresses of the purchasers. Such a plan would certainly keep the police in touch with those who own

MONUMENT TO J. w. POWELL

The sundry civil act for the fiscal year 1910, passed March 3, appro- priates $5O0O for a monument or memorial to John Wesley Powell. former director of U. s. Geological Survey, to be erected on the brink of the Grand Canyon of the Colo rado, in the Grand Canyon forest reserve in Arizona Gin recognition of his distinguished public services as soldier, explorer and adminis- trator of government scientific work" The site for this proposed monument was suggested by Pow ell's memorable trips down Grand Canyon in 1869 and 1S72-exploits of perilous venture that naturally appeal to mems sense Of the hazard ous and heroic. The language of the act, however, recognizes the fact that Powell's more substantial achievements-his long dictatorship of the Geological Survey and his persistent championship of irriga- tion in the arid west when the cause of irrigation seemed hope less-entitle him to the larger rec ognition due to the broad minded scientific prophet working for great ends with courage and zeal to over. come not only popular indifference but narrow minded opposition. Standing apart, on the edge of the mighty canyon he first explored, his monument should recall not only the venturesome daring of the explorer, but the patient cour- age of the man of affairs who reso- lutely sets out, in spite of all ob- stacles, to achieve great public work whose results shall endure through all time. The stones that may be heaped together at the sculptor's word on the brink of the
 Grand Canyon will be but one of many memorials to the man and
 the work, for every mighty mass of
 masonry that is reared in those western lands to make the desert
 green is a monument to the mem ory of John Wesley Powell.-Chi- cago Mining World.

OUR democratic contemporaries are digging Ralph Cameron all kinds of ways, though Ralph has only been member of congress one month, and that special session called to revise the tariff only. Never you mind, boys. You thought Ralph was a joke when we nom- mated him against your old stand by for congress but the joke was on you, not us. Ralph will surprise you again, and again and again be fore he gets through with the game of Arizona politics. You are long way from being out of the wood: yet. Ralph was a little unwise tt make his statehood talks quite al strong as he did, remembering the way lifeless things perambulatt around at times, but Ralph is g pusher, and he will make good Stafford Journal.

BECAUSE a Monrovia bank was footed by burglars who were clever enough to work the combination of the safe, instead Of having to resort to force, the bank will be unable to collect any of it's loss from the com- pany which insured it against rob- bery. The latter had a clause in it's policy which set forth that the footing must be done "by force.' The burglar did it by "art." It if probably proper that insurance companies should decline to be lia ble for the doings inspired by tht artistic temperament.

pocket firearms and might be the means of accomplishing much good in correcting the evil of their pro miscuous sale and the carrying of them about.
 Perhaps there would be many a thug or other person who would hesitate about buying pistol and to:ing it with him wherever he went if he knew that the fact he had such a weapon in his possession would become public knowledge almost immediately after the pur- chase.
 One thing is certain, public au- thorities must cope with this inex- cusable and dangerous practice in some way. The sooner a solution of the question is found the better it will be for all, for gun totin' leads to many murderous assaults and serious rowdyism of other sorts which would never happen if il were not for handy presence of revolyers. State legislation would not seem to be necessary to handle the matter, although it might be the most effective way. It would seem that the cities could tend tc it through ordinances of their own And there is a fine chance for some city father some place in the lane to gain fame by shaping up ar ordinance which will effectually minimize this evil.

THAT the good classes of women vastly outvote the bad class was proven at the last election in Dem yer, when 55 per cent of the women of the select Capitol Hill district voted, 37 per cent of the women of other good residential parts, and only 10 per cent of the women from the disreptuable district went to the polls.

Anticipation

If some kind fairy could come to earth and wave his wand over all the imaginary troubles so that they would vanish forever, leaving be- hind only the real troubles, what a surprise we would have!
 Instead of finding that nearly everybody was weighed down with troubles we would find that there was in fact only a little genuine trouble in existence.
 Isn't it sad to think how much we all suffer from things that are purely imaginary. Perhaps the greater part of these ime ginary woes are the result of anticipation. We fear for tomorrow or next year thousand things that never hap pen. We dread something so much that we suffer more in thinking about it than we ever could in realization.
 I We go through life trumping uI troubles for ourselves and refuse to believe in our joys until they are fairly in our hands. If we would reverse this process, life would bf much brighter and our burdens really comparatively small.
 An excellent motto is:
 Sufficient unto the day is thu evil thereof"
 It is one that we should eacl take to heart and think about whel we find ourselves dreading som possible future evil. for the chance are it will never befall and if i does it may not prove as bad as w fancy and even if it were, what i the use of suffering it befor it comes? Won't we have all tn trouble we need then without an ticipating it?
 The man who fears he may b a pauper in his old age does we'll t. lay by something to prevent such calamity, but it would hardly pa, him to make a pauper of himsel now for the sake of hoarding fo that possible old age, as it may b that he will never experience it. 4 fair regard for the future is com mendable, but anxiety about tn future is one of the most foolish man ifestations of undisciplined thought

IN the days of Andrew Jackson we paid off the last of the then ex isting national debt, largely from the sales of public lands, and there was a surplus in the national treas ury of some $3S,OOO,OOO, more or less, for which the poor, ignorant congressman of that day could find no use. All but $1O,0OO,OOO was, accordingly, by resolution of con- gress, distributed to the states then in existence, upon their solemn en- gagenent to repay it on demand Once or twice since then there has been a proposal to recover that money, but nothing has come of it.. Most of the states have spent the money and would claim that any demand for it would be unjust in view of the fact that the govern ment has since granted enormous amounts of public lands to the states in which they were situated, a distribution in which many of the older states have had no part. Whatever the house of representa- tives might do in the matter, it is morally certain that no demand for that money could ever get past the senate.

CAMERON HAS MADE GOOD

On March 25, Hon. R. H. Cam eron introduced the following bill in the house of representatives, which was referred to the committee on territories, and ordered printed: The bill provides for the payment of certain railroad bonds of Coco nino county which have been funded into territorial bonds of the terri tory of Arizona, and for other pur- poses. The bill in full follows: Whereas, The United States gov ernment has, under powers granted the president, extended the Navajo Indian reservation over much of the lands heretofore subject to tax alton by the county of Coconino, in the territory of Arizona, and thus lessened the power of the peo- pie to pay the bonded indebtedness of said county; and
 Whereas, Congress, by an act, validated certain railroad bonds which the people of said county claimed to be invalid by the same act by which it validated the Pima county bonds, which the supreme court of the United States had de- clared invalid; and
 Whereas, The United States gov ernment, by the power vested In the president, has established three large forest reservations, all o1

Ought to Help Some

The following story is going the rounds. A grade teacher, after having a medical examination in her room recently wrote the follow ing note to the parents of certain little boy: Your little boy, Charles, shows signs of astagmatism. Will you please investigate and take steps to correct it," to which she received a note in reply, saying: q don't understand exactly what Charles has been doing, but I have walloped him tonight and you can wallop him tomorrow, and that ought to help some.

Patrolman John whitman, popularity

feet from the water, to string flags in
preparation for today's official cele-
hration of the opening of the bridge.
His leg was attacked by cramp, the
swaying pole in the heavy breeze made
him seasick and he shouted for help,
hanging on to the gold ball for dear
life and expecting to drop any minute
to the mesh of steel Orders below him.
Ajax Whitman was patrolhnG the

On reaching the base of the flagstaff.
which is so feet high and a foot and a
half in diameter at the base, Whitman
called to Jones to hang on while he
tore off his shoes and the next minute
he was climbing the pole like pro-
fessional steeplejack On reaching
the top he threw one arm about the
dizzy Jones and then slid swiftly and
safely down the pole. From there he
carried him down to the steel work.
