The War on Cancer

It develops that the late Mir. George Crocker, of San Francisco. who died at New York few days ago, left to Columbia university the sum of sl,- 50O.O00 as an endowment fund for prosecuting research'work ir the study of cancer No doubt Mir. Crocker was
 led to make this munificent gift be- cause of his own suffering from can cer, of which malady he died. His wife died of cancer in 1904, and about that time he was stricken with the disease.
 MT Crocker was not the first man to appreciate the importance of equip ping the medical schools of the great universities with means for studying cancer The late Collis P. Huntington left the sum of s100.O0O to Cornell uni versity for cancer research work. and
 large bequests have been made by
 other wealthy men. MT. Rockefeller's
 gifts for the same purpose are already
 very large The Crocker bequest is
 the largest to date. however.
 What will be the result of giving
 unlimited facilities and encouragement to the medical profession in its efforts
 to find a cure for cancer? While mo- body can predict with certainty. it is
 pleasing to know that some of the
 most capable students of cancer are
 very optimistic. They believe that the isolation of a cancer microbe is a matter of the immediate future, and that before many years the most dreadful of all human diseases will be conquered. The very difficulty of the problem has enlisted a host of inves-
 tigators. and it is to be hoped that the great funds now at their command will enable them to solve the mystery of cancer.

PHOENIX. ARIZONA, DEC. IS, 1sc
Still Another High Record

The Republican of yesterday estab- lished another high water mark in Arizona journalism. Thus. three times within the present year. has this pa per made a new record for itself and for the territory. The Republican of cause of regular issue of 24 pages, something never before reached by any paper in Arizona On October 24. still another high water mark was reached with 26 pages in the regular course of business And yesterday both the former records were eclipsed, with 2s pages.
 Many of the business men of Phoe- nix took occasion to congratulate us on the issue of October 24. It will be interesting to them to compare the figures of that issue with the figures reached yesterday. In the issue of October 24 there were 26 pages, con- taining 14O.S columns of advertising, or a total of 1907 inches In the issue of yesterday there were 2s pages. con- taining 1557 columns of advertising or a total of s,114 inches of adver- Using.
 Few cities in the United States can boast paper that will compare with The Republican in quantity of adver- tisements printed. +'-
 As we have stated before. there is a reason for this remarkable showing by this paper A great army of in- telligent. loyal and alert readers prosperous people who have the money with which to buy things-are a con- stant invitation to advertisers who have things to sell. Advertisers know that they get reSulls iioHi ouS ms space in our columns. and that they can make no other investment so profitably. Moreover. most Phoenix advertisers have learned what many advertisers in the big cities have never iearned-and that is, the art of saying something of interest to readers: telling something that is of mutual benefit to advertiser and reader The closeness with which ad- vertisements in The Republican are read is a subject of daily remark with business men.
 The confidence and esteem in which this paper is held by this community, ana the pride taken in it by the peo- pie generally, is of course deeply grati- flying to the management.
 We can best show our appreciation by continuing to make the paper bet ter and more readable; by making it still more conspicuous in its proof of Arizona progress; by continuing to stand in the forefront with the re- sourceful and energetic citizens who have determined to make Phoenix great city; by standing always for fairness, cleanness and honest deal ing, and first and all the time for Phoenix, the Salt River valley and Arizona.
 And this we will do /
