Was it Worth the Price?

The world has produced no great CT railroad magnate than was E. H. Hartman. He made his millions, and wielded power over more miles of steel than any other man who has ever lived. No man has ever been a more gigantic success, so far as commerce is concerned. than was the ruler of a railroad empire who died last week. But the ques. tion comes to us: Is the game worth the candle Can man afford to give his life over to the cold and heartless pursuit of wealth. and ne- glect everything else?
 A few weeks ago Mr. Hartman left America a sick man. He went to the most celebrated watering place in Europe and engaged the best physicians that money could hire. He needed rest; he needed help from nature and from skilled doctors, and he was getting it. His complete recovery was consid- sered certain. Then why didn't he stay until he was we'll? Why did he break away from the care of his eminent physicians and rush back to his work in America when he had enough money to live there in luxury for thousand years could a person live that long? It was be- cause Harriman's interests were so great that his presence was needed in this country to protect them. Other keen financiers like himself were taking advantage of his sick ness, and preparing to "cut a wat ermelon" during his absence. He felt that he had to sacrifice the hope of regaining his health in or der to come back and hold his own with other kings of finance.
 In the finanicial world of today money comes first, and life after wards. Health and happiness are secondary to making the coin and holding it. For that reason we say that Harriman's success was not worth the price he paid for it. No man is even free who so ties him. self to great financial interests as not to have time to seek health when his physical strength is giv- ing away.

One of the best written editorials we have. ever seen in an Arizona newspaper was the Phoenix Repub- lican's comment on the death of Edward H. Hartman. Our views of current events are so obscured by detail, and marred by false per- spectives that it takes a gifted writer to see the grand outlines and form as true an estimate of a man as did Sims Ely of the Repub lican when he made the death of nis railroad magnate the subject of the pen.

Best Treatment for a Burn.

If for no other reason, Cham lain's Salve should be kept in every household on account of its great value in the treatment of burns. It allays the pain almost instantly, and unless the injury is a severe one, heals the parts with out leaving a scar. This salve is also unequaled for chapped hands, sore nipples and diseases of the skin. Price, 25 cents. For sale by all dealers.

Any community profits by haviS in its midst a good newspaper cor respondent who lets the outside world know when anything of inter est is taking place in his town. Since the Bluewater dam broke a number of Flagstaff people who have friends in that region have been watching the daily press hop ing to learn some particulars of the disaster and the names of some of those who were left homeless or suffered havey loss. but scarcely a line could they find while whole pages were being devoted to the discovery of the north pole. Had a good newspaper reporter been at the scene of the Bluewater disaster a full account of the same, together with an estimate of the damage done would have appeared the next morning in the leading dailies of the southwest.

Silver Wedding.

Tuesday evening the seventh inst. the family residence of MT. and Mrs. c. A. Greenlaw of our city was besieged by about two score of the old friends ana acquaintances of these most estimable people.
 The purpose of this wholly unex- pected nocturnal visit was to in- from MT. and Mrs. Greenlaw that they had been sailing on the sea of matrimony for 10, these last twen- ty-tve years. and that silver wedding was due.
 The surprise to host and hostess was complete. Charley could not have been more surprised had the boiler in his sawmill blown up; Mrs. Greenlaw did not realize whether she was a-foot, horseback, in an automobile or an airship.
 However they soon recovered their composure sufficiently to arise to the occasion and give their unin- vited, though welcome guests, a royal good reception.
 The house was given over to the marauders, who proceeded to make merry by dancing. singing and playing games until the wee small hours of the morning. Many beau tiful and valuable presents were given to the now thorougIy happy host and hostess, in honor of their having arrived at the quarter post of life's journey.
 The whole affair was enjoyed to the utmost by all who were privi- legged to be present. Mr. and Mrs. Greenlaw want it to be understood that they are willing to live long enough to see many more silver weddings just like this one.

The Glammor of the Unknown

The mysterious attraction of the unknown has always been foremost among the too few irresistible charms of existence. It has served as a perpetual stimulus to the inn agination and an endless incentive to enterprise. It rules in the lighter as we'll as in the greater is- sues of life. Anthony Hope lauds the fasination of the wonderful house opposite, and old Samuel Johnson cites second marriages as a proof of the triumph of hope over experience. By sad. but logical. necessity. the very efforts which the pursuit of the unknown calls forth bring the hidden to light and thus banish forever the mystery that formerly surrounded it. Thus it is that the discovery of the pole has removed one more of the few secret places remaining, and with all our pride in the achievement there is also sense of loss.
 The trip across the Atlantic can now be made in less than a week, with all the accomplishments of ease and luxury. But there is no stirring sentiment connected with the journey; that belongs to the day when three frail cockle shells set forth into the unknown waste of waters in search of a new way to the Indies.
 Rider Haggard could have thrilled us once with his tales of King Solomon's mines and mys- terious queen in the heart of the Dark Continent; but now? Not a thrill. He couldn't rally corpo- ral's guard to perusal of a new narrative of those opened countries.
 Discovery and invention have far outrun the boldest flights of the im- agination. Jules Verne apparently exhausted the possibilities in those lines in his writings. but nearly all of his fancies have since become accomplished facts; there remain only trip to the moon and a journey to the center of Che earth to complete the dreams of that ar dent romancer.
 That it is privelege to revel in the discoveries of the day none will deny. But many of the new things are so overwhelming that at times we cannot help feeling fondness for the day when ignorance. as well as distance, lent enchantment to the view; for the times when we knew more about few things and less about everything than we do today.
