CENTER ST. BRIDGE PLANS
 ADOPTED AT LAST
THOSE OF MAYBURRY 6 PARKER
 SELECTED.
There Will Be Immediate Advertise
 ment for Bids for Construction.

A renewal of the labors of the board of supervisors yesterday brought forth plans for the Center Street bridge. Those of Mayberry & Parker were adopted by the vote of Chairman Hoghe and Supervisor Orme. Super visor Hunsaker who advocated these plans at the last meeting did so again yesterday but he afterwards changed his vote so that the adoption was unanimous.
 The plans of Knipe X Davis, the only other set recommended by member of the advisory board had been prac- tically withdrawn ever since the meet ing of last week and the only obsta cle in the way of the Mayberry & Par ker plans was an uncertainty as to whether they could be so amended so as to give the required strength to the bridge and leave it's construction possible within the appropriation.
 The board was at last satisfied on that point by Mir Mayberry who said that the additional cost would not ex- ceed $1,000.00 and he would guarantee that the total constrution would come within the appropriation. Engineer

 William J. Bryan was introduced to the faculty and students of the L. of A in Assembly Hall at 3:30 o'clock Friday afternoon by President K. C. Babcock. MT Bryan said in part. Tt is not my object in speaking to q stu dent body to make a political speech. There are d great many subjects which I could use which would be helpful to students. but I will lay them all aside and address you with a few words on faith.
 "A very good illustration of faith is recalled to my mind by the story of an old South Carolina negro who was asked by his parson. 'Rastus, what do you understand by faith?' Well, parson if the Lord asked me to butt a stone wall down I could do the buttin' but faith would have to go through the wall
Arizona republican., 1909-09-30

Faith in yourself is the first necessity for success. If you have faith in your ability to cope with the things which beset you each day and surmount them it increases your desire to reach the goal which you have set as your Hfe's work
 MT Bryan told one of his political experiences in 1888 when he stumped the state of Nebraska for the Demo- cratic candidate for governor. He said: "I made about fifty speeches in all. and in every one told the people very plain ly as I thought. why the republican candidate should not be elected. but he was elected by majority of 2S,00O votes. Shortly after at a St. Patrick's day celebration the governor and my self were both on the program. I was ducing the speakers.
 w J. Bryan's name was called and I made my way forward to the stand. What was to do was not specified so the governor came to the edge of the platform to meet me extending his hand with cordial greeting. Of course I was glad to take his hand but was rather surprised that he should greet me so effusively after l had worked so hard to defeat him. As we walked toward the center of the platform he whispered Do you speak or sing
 The moral illustrated here by MT Bryan was that faith in yourself may lead to the swell head sometimes but

UNIVERSITIES
 FIRST WEEK Opening of a Year Which Promises to Eclipse Others THE ATHLETIC PROGRAM Football Attracting Great est Attention - Contest With Salt River Valley Teams Expected-An Ad- dress By w. J. Bryan

Tucson. Ariz.. Sept e7.-CSpecial cor respondence of The RepubIican)-Th hustle and confusion of the opening week of the year of the University of Arizona is over and the students have settled down 10 the routine of study which is intermingled with short per iods of recreation.
 The university is more prosperous this year than ever before probably owing somewhat to the rising standard of the school and also to the many new High schools recently established Throughout the territory which are now sending young men and women to the university.
 The faculty is larger and better than before. Prof. Giles instructor in chem istry has just returned from a years course of study under a famous Ger man scientist Several new teachers have been added and new courses es- tablished.
 The equipment of the school is larger and peter than ever. A new science building has been completed at a cost of s4,000 and the equipment for scien- tific work is on the way and will be installed before the end of the month at a cost of S12,OOO. It will then be one of the best laboratories in the south west. This is in addition to the lab oratory in the main building which will be used for the preparatory class in scientific studies.
 One of the new courses which will in terest the people of Salt River valley is that of farming and dry farming. There is a large class of enthusiastic young men taking this course, who will be able in a few years to take charge of so-called wornout or run down land and make it blossom forth again as it never did before. Dry farming is ba;ng successfully coped with here and will eventually reclaim many acres of land which is arid waste at the present time.
 Football is holding the center of attraction at present and it promises to succeed from the amount of new timber turning out for practice. Arizona Un- iversity turned out a championship team last year and hopes to duplicate it this year notwithstanding the fact

was reconsidered and MT. Hoghe with drew his motion for re-advertisement. He had not in the meantime signified his intention in case the matter came to vote
 He finally said that whatever his private opinion regarding thetplans might be. he felt that the gentlemen who were advocating the Mayberry X Parker plans were not only heavy tax payers but all of them had sub scribed liberally to the bonus. He be- lieved. therefore, that their wishes should be respected and that he would vote for the Mayberry & Parker plans That was the end of the controversy,

 At the opening of the meeting Chair man Hoghe moved for a re-advertise- ment for bids. The motion precipi- tated a somewhat heated discussion and no action was immediately taken. Mir.

EVEN THIS SHALL PASS AWAY.

Once in Persia reigned king
Who upon his signet ring
GraVed a maxim true and wise,
Which, il held before his eyes,
Gave him counsel at glance
Fit for every change and chance;
Solemn words. and these are they:
Even this shall pass away"
Trains of camels thru the sand
Brought him gems from Samarkand;
Fleets of galleys thru the seas
Brought him pearls to match with
these, t
But he counted not his gain
Treasures of the mine or main;
What is wealth ?'' the king would say;
Even this shall pass away"
In the revels of his court,
At the zenith of his sport,
When the palms of all his guests
Burned with clapping at his jests,
He amid his figs and wine
Cried: 20, loving friends of mine,
Pleasure comes, but not to stay;
Even this shall pass away
Fighting on a furious field,
Once javelin pierced his shield.
Soldiers with loud lament
Bore him bleeding to HIS tent:
Grooming from his tortured side,
Pain is hard to bear" he cried,
but with patience, day by day.
Even this shall pass away"
Towering in the public square
Twenty cubits in the air,
Rose his statue carved with stone;
Then the king, disguised, unknown,
Stood before his seulptured name,
Musing meekly, What is fame?
Fame Is but q slow decay;
Even this shall pass away"
Struck with palsy, sere and old,
Waiting at the gates of gold,
Said he, with his dying breath,
Life is done, but what Is death?"
Then, in answer to the king,
Fell sunbeam on his ring.
Smiling. he was heard to say:
Even this shall pass away"

PEACE FOR RAILROADS. PROSPER.
ITY FOR COUNTRY.

No single utteranee by President
Taft on his swing around the circle
has attracted more attention, or been
more fayorabiy commented on. than
his declaration that he stood in favor
of the encouragement of the railroads,
for justice to the great transportation
corporations, to his clear enunciation
of the fact that if the people do injus-
tice to the railroads they will check
transportation development, inconven-
fence themselves, and stop the prog
ress of the country as a whole.
From one end of the country to the
other, with the few exceptions of
those papers that are professedly cor
poration baiters, this declaration Of
administration policy has been ac-
claimed with every evidence of salts
faction. The wave of anti-corpora-
ton politics having receded, left the
people in possession of their cool COM
mon sense. and stranded some political
leaders high and dry on the shingles
of future oblivion, President Taft ap-
parentiy saw that the time was oppor-
tune for a further appeal to intelli-
gence in contradistinction to passion.
and prejudice. The prosperity that
has returned to the country, too, has
been an effective handmaiden in tear
ing the scales away from the eyes of
the people and permitting them to see
more clearly the manifold dangers of
the anti-corporation crusade and the
innate selfishness of those engineering
it for the promotion of personal poll
teal ambitions. The Presidents utter
ances have accordingly fallen on fruit
ful soil and will undoubtedly bear
crop of far better feeling toward the
Transportation interests, keener real
ization of the difficulties under which
they labor, and of the potent part they
play in the upbuiiding of the country
as whole. People realize more than
ever now that their own personal in
terests are so interrningled with those
of the corporations of the land, trans
transportation interests, keener real
cannot tear down these gigantic en-
| terprises without involving themselves
| In the common ruin. The fact that an
! injury to one is an injury to all is be-
coming appreciated as never before in
| the history of the country The inner
ent sentiment Of justice in the Ameri-
can breast, too, has reasserted itself
with its pristine force and come to
the assistance of those who so valiant
| ly withstood the wave of destruction
that threatened to engulf so many OF
the country's enormous enterprises
while the crusade of two years ago
was at its height. 1t would be a most
diflcult matter at this time-may it
ever continue-for those who then
vindictively sought to array sentiment
against corporations to regain their
lost position and their power for evil.
President Taft has left no doubt as
to the attitude Of his administration.
1t stands for just treatment of the
railroads, for proper regulation, but
for no pandering to any senseless feel
ing Of hatred against them because
they are vast in their wealth and
tremendous in their business. A
square deal for the railroads and other
corporations represents the presiden-
tial mind. 1t is merely an application
to the nation at large of the sentiment
