largement of the fire district. The

izing the proposed change from the

within the district, as it viii mean in
creased financial income to the fire dis
trict and improved fire protection ser
vice. Chief Cottrell is a strong advo-
cate of the territorial extension, and
his earnestness and recognized worth
as a fire fighter had much to do with
securing the signatures to the petition
for the enlargement Of the Westerly
fire district.
The new fire district will extend north
through Canal street to a point SIX
hundred feet beyond the residence Of
r. J. RooneI. thence to one lot deep

Bisbee daily review., 1909-05-20

During the trial of the Mexican revolutionists at Tombstone the Bis bee Evening Miner took occasion to offer some rather vigorous criticism on the action of United States Attor- ney Alexander because he. as prose- cutor of the alleged criminals, had in tercepted some letters which were addressed to one of the defendants and caused their delivery to himself There was no occasion for any criti- cism on this action by the United States attorney. The government and all of it's officers and machinery are supposed to be for the purpose ot overhauling suspected criminals and promoting their punishment. Men charged with crime when in charge of ublic officials are supposed to be under surveillance, and especially was it proper to keep close watch on Magon and his associates. who were under charge of having plotted the destruction of one government. What was done by United States Attorney Alexander in securing the mail ad- dressed to Magon has been done in thousands of former criminal cases by other public officials. No doubt tfe purpose of the criticism of the Miner because of this act of Alexan- der was to prejudice the case in fav- or of the revolutionists.

ly so. This condition has been chang ing for the better for years and to- day we Americans can say with truth that better class of our country men are coming into this country. But there is much yet Co do to raise the standard--there is yet consid- erable percentage of Americans who come here for the sole and ignoble purpose of getting out of the country by fair means or foul all they can and giving nothing. not even good will, in return. This class care ab- 'solutely nothing for anyone so they can fleece somebody and stay out of taii We have always argued that if there is any difference foreigner is under greater obligations to con duct himself properly in the country where he voluntarily takes up his domicile than in his own. Good Americans should stand up for their countrymen when they are right and not do so when they are wrong.

PRESIDENT TAFT IN ARIZONA.

Since it was announced that Presi- dent Taft would pass through Ari- zona on his proposed western trip in the fall of the present year there has been printed much speculation as 10 whether he will make stop in the territory and as to what city will have the honor of a visit from the chief executive of the nation. If it is the intention of the president to see something of the industries and possibilities of Arizona. as he journeys through it he should be pro vided with information which will tell him where he can get the best idea of what is going or here.
 The two great industries of Arr zona are that of mining and agricul- ture and by making two stops in the territory he will see the best of both of these. Leaving Fl Paso President Taft should come over the Fl Paso and Southwestern railroad to Doug las and make a short visit to the great copper smelting plants in this city. From here he could be carried through the great Warren district at Bisbee. These two stops need not consume more than six hours and the president would see what is going on in the territory in a mining way The next most important stop for the president in Arizona is Phoenix, in the very heart of the great Salt River valley where he will see what has been accomplished by irrigation in the west. A sight of the splendid agricultural valley at Phoenix would impress upon the president the pos abilities of the future wealth to be added to the country by the system of government irrigation enterprises already begun.
 We understand that the Douglas chamber of commerce will send an invitation to President Taft to visit Douglas. This invitation should be seconded by the citizens of every oth- CT city in the territory who desires that Arizona shall receive the great est benefit possible from the visit of the president.

The First Shave.

Mans life is made of epoehs. the same as the life of nation or of a world of the universe
 The first shave is epochal WeNdo not mean the first time you stole your fathers razor and tried to strop it and cut the strop into strings; and then smeared father on your face and got your nose and eyes fun of father, to say nothing of the heaping tablespoon ful O. so that fouEd it's way into your mouth and which you may still taste hard.
 The first barber shop shave An. then was when Father Time erected a milestone along the path of your life
 You walked past the barber shop forty times before you mustered up the courage to go in. although many a time had you loafed there and read the Police Gazette and heard the bar Der and the horse doctor heatedly dis cuss the batting ability of Buck Ew- ing and the courage of John l.. Suili- yan. This time 1t was different.
 At last you sided in. You chose a moment when no one except the bar ber was in the shop. You took a seat in the chair and when the barbe- started to trim your hair yoa told him in a voice that came from mAes and miles away that ycu wanted a shave
 But the barber was considerate He did rot appear 10 know that this was your first. For all you did you would believe that he thought you had been patron of barber shops for a hun dred years. He stropped his razor as carefully as though he were going to shave Hank Burton. who had beard as stiff as a currycomb. Ahf the glory of iti The brief. ephemeral glory, The left side. the right side, your chin. your upper lip-and here the barber stopped with uplifted razor and asked you not 10 draw your lip down over your teeth, He did not smile. al though that betrayed you. And then the bay rum and the powder-and you rose in the chair and saw the gang" ranged about the walls grinning at you.
 The first shave was over; but It's memory endureth forever. brother, doesn't it?
