ENGLISH WAY OF GETTING TEMPERANCE

The liberal party of England. which was materially aided by the
 pFohihitionists in securing power. n attempting to pay it's debt to the pro hibitionists. after defeating a straight prohieation bin has decided on a pc
 culiar temperance measure. This measure Is strictly original and may
 Iroyc very efficient in communities
 where prohibition is impossible by reason Of overpowering opposition.
 The measure defines an inebriate, both drug and alcoholic and provides that thc initial step shall be the bind ing by the inehriate himself. under a bond, to $ magistrate to abstain from the use of alcoholic stimulants for period of one year. This may be voluntary action. or an action orig. mated on the application of near relation; or a public official can act instead of relative. The bill pro posos q guardian to watch the drunk ard to see that he really abstains. incidentally. 1t is made a punishable offense to furnish the drunkard with either alcohol or drugs. 1T the guard ianship fails to work cure of the drunkenness, institutions for the care and keep of drunksrds are established at the expense of the state. All the inmates of these institutions arc given work 10 pay their expenses. This
 VcIk is steady and proposes 10 keep their minds fully occupied. 1t being thought that work Is one of the very best cures of intoxication. After the 1runkard has ser-ed a certain time 'n one of these institutions where every effort is made to keep him sober and destroy his appetite he is released on parole. If he shows by his life that he is cured of his habits his parole is removed.
 The bill is meeting with favor from all classes. It not only looks as If 1t will cure the curse of drunkenness. but it looks as if it will put an end to and to tramps. It teaches men to lean upon their own strength and to cultivate manhood, because few men will-want to be taken to a place where they are treated by the 1 state for drunkenness, although they l will feel that this is an act of kind | ness on the Fart of the state.
 And, last, it will do much to re- lieve the distress of the families Of Under such a law as this Sife can appeal to the magis- ! uate with the statement that her husband is neglecting his home from drink and the magistrate can put the ! man immediately under a bond and i lse such exertiou as is necessary to leep him sober before he destroys ! he happiness Of his home

ARIZONA HAS
 DONE BETTER.

The Los Angeles high school cannot accommodate all the pupils graduating
 from the grammer grades, and the first to enroll are the first to get the vacant seats in the classes at the be-
 ginning of each term. The secoud term opened in this city last Mon
 day and some of the boys and girls anxious for an education lined up in front of the building as early as last Saturday night and remained there till Monday morning to register early and be assured of places in the class es. These are the boys and girls who are going to amount to something in the world-Los Angeles Times.
 The above from the Los Angeles Times brings to mind the fact that Arizona has never allowed a child seeking the school room to be denied admission on any account. It is perti- nent here to give a few facts con. corning public education in this ter. ritory.
 The first public schools in the ter. ritory were established by Gov. A r. K, Stafford. who travelled over the ter ritory on stages or broneaos for that purpose. Since the pnblic schools were established in Arizona our peo- pie have paid more per cspata for education than the residents of any other state or territory in the union. Since Governor Stafford planted the first public schools in the early camps of the serritsry there has never been a fine when every child conld not ssxcnh a school In any io- cality where there werc as many as ten. Since then every city, as 1t came into existence has been promptly pro vided with conmodions school build inEs where tie very best teachers at the very best wages have been em- pioyed. A university has been pro yided at Tucson which is the equal of any school in the west; two nor nal schools have in recent years pre- pared many of the present teachers for their present work. High schools are now creditable institutions in every city from Prescott to Douglas.
 All these school facilities have been provided by direct taxation of the property owners. In many of the old states the public schools are almost entirely supported by the in terest derived from capital school sunds which have been accommodating for many years.
 The people of Arizona have been in their liberality in the mat ter of suTAurting the public schools. With exceeding promptness the cities have from time to time voted school bonds for additional buildings and nearly always by unanimous vote.
 Los Angeles should follow the ex- ample set by Arizona and keep up with the procession ln the matter of providing room for all the school

 The business men of Arizona have long contended that freight rates charged by the railroads in Arizona are not only too high. but that they are discriminating. During the past year much has been done by the com mercial organizations of the territory iR efforts to have q more equitable adjustment of freight rates in the ter ritory and considerable headway has been made in this direction. So favorable are conditions now attend ing these effort that some of tho largest commercial houses in the ter ritory. fear the railroad commission, as proposed. may do more harm than good. This was the opinion expressed by Albert steiafelsL of Tlczon. who probably receives moro freisEt than any other mercantile house in sbe ter ritoy ezcsbtias the Copper Queen stores in Bisbec and Douglas

BRITISH REVENUES.
Income Tax Leads With Inheritance
Tax a Close Second.

Washington. May 29.-That the in
come tax of Great Britain which has
been in force almost continuously
since 1872, yielded more revenue in the
fiscal year thar any other form of taxa
ton, and that the inheritance tax
yields more than half the revenue pro-
duced by the income tax, are two of
the interesting statements made in the
report of Special Agent Pepper, of the
department of commerce and labor.
which has been sent to congress. For
the year 1908 the income tax produced
for the government $165, 000 900, being
levied on a population of A, 800 900,
while the inheritance tax yielded $94,-
230 900.
Incomes under 81, 900 are exempt from
taxation and graduated attachments are
allowed on incomes between 81, 900 and
S3,4OO. The income tax is levied on the
profits accruing from land tenements.

TENTS FOR STUDENTS.
Wrecked Their Sleeping Rooms and
Must Live on the Campus.

CarlinviIle, ILL.,, May 29.-FIfty
students of Blackburn college, at
Carlinville, are living in tents near
the college campus, after having been
ousted from their dormitories by or
der of President W. H. Bradley, fol-
lowing a class fight in which their
sleeping rooms were wrecked.
The students are allowed to attend
classes, but their sleeping apartments
are forbidden them.
The trouble began when the fresh
men invaded the sophomores rooms
while the latter were absent and turn
ed them topsy turvey. When the So
phomores discovered the wreck of
their rooms, they planned revenge
and entered the freshmen's rooms,
wrecking them in turn. This aroused
the ire of President Bradley and he
ordered the students out of the dor
mitories, forbidding them to return.
They at once established a tent city
near the college.

SECRETLY MARRIED.
Sicl1rOOm Romance Ends in Wedding
of Pretty Nurse and Patient.

Denver, Col, May 29.-After tell
ing all her friends that she had set
her wedding day for June 5, Miss
Dorothea Kammeyer went to Little
ton and was married to Herbert w.
Stewart of Goodland, Kan. Not until
yesterday did the brides mother know
what had become of her daughter,
but she suspected that the couple had
decided to avoid the confusion of a
large wedding.
The romance which eliminated in
the wedding started almost a year
ago, when the bride was called to
GoodIand, Kan, to nurse a typhoid
fever case, the patient being Stewart,
who was in serious condition. When
the pretty nurse began to administer
the medicine the patient began to
show marked improvement and was
soon out of danger. 1t was then that
cupid took a hand. When the nurse
was ready to return home she did SO
with the understanding that just as
soon as her patient was able to travel
she would be ready to return to Good
land, but not as a nurse.
Mrs. Stewart is one of the best
known nurses in Denver and Stewart
is a leading business man of Good
land. The couple will leave in a few
days for Goodland, where they will
make their home.
