CHAPTER xV-Continued.

The wizard continued his life
story. He said: The balloon came
down gradually, and l was not
hurt a bit. But l found myself
in the midst of a strange people, who,
thought l WAS a great Wizard OF
course l let them think SO, because
they were afraid of me, and promised
to do anything ] wished them to.
Just to amuse myself, and keep the
good people busy, l ordered them to
build this city, and my palace; and
they did it all willingly and well. Then
l thought, as the country was so green
and beautiful, l would call it the EN-
erald City, and to make the name fit
better l put green spectacles on all
the people. so that everything they
saw was green"
But isn't everything here green?'
asked Dorothy.
NO more than in any other city,
replied Or; but when you wear green
spectacles, why. of course, everything
you see looks green to you. The EN-.
erald City vas built great many
years ago, for l was a young man
when the balloon brought me here
and / am a very old man now. But
my people have worn green glasses on
their eyes SO long that most of them
think it really is an Emerald City, and
1t certainly is a beautiful place
abounding in jewels and precious
metals. and every good thing that is
needed to make one happy. l have
been good to the people, and they
like me: but ever since this palace
was built l have shut myself up and
would not see any of them.
'One OF my greatest fears was the
Witches, for while l had no magical
powers at all l soon found out that
the Witches were really able to do
wonderful things. There were four
of them In this country, and they
ruled the people who live in the North
and South and East and West. For
tunately. the Witches OF the North
and South were good. and knew they
would do me no harm; but the Witches
of the East and West were terribly
wicked, and had they not thought ]

THE TWO GOVERNORS.

Governor Kibbey today at noon will
lay aside the cares of the governor
ship after four years of faithful and
effective administration, during which
the territory has made unprecedented
advancement He will retire from Of
flee with an almost unanimous ap-
probation of the manner in which he
has conducted it. His success is due
to the energetic way in which he
has effected changes and improve
ments to meet the increasing needs
of the growing territory.
He will be succeeded by Governor
Sloan, who comes to the office with
more nearly the universal good will
of the people of Arizona than any
of his predecessors. Hitherto there
has been some displeased or disap-
pointed faction of the governors own
party and the attitude of the opposite
party has been generally hostile.
There is more of this now. The long
and eminent service of Judge Sloan
on the bench had long since gained
him the confidence of all Arizonians
regardless of faction and party.

There was good reading for those
who have a patriotic interest in Phoe-
nix, on page of yesterdays issue of
The Republican-the statements of the
Valley Bank. the National Bank of
Arizona and the Phoenix National
Bank. Therein was reflected the pros
perity of the valley which everyone
is feeling. The resources of each of
these institutions are beyond the mill
lion mark. An increase of deposits
is shown, aggregating at the close
of business on April 2S s3,020,O4LS0,
TO say nothing of s243,5S9O1 of saw
ings and certificates of deposit. There
is in each a healthy reserve and, al
together, in comparison with earlier
statements, we may see how Phoenix
is growing, as indicated by the finan-
ciaI gauge.

WOMAN AND THE BALLOT.

There is one man in Bloomington,
Illinois, who will no longer favor the
ballot for women. A o. Murphy is
his name and he was a candidate last
week for the board of education. 1t
seems that women there can vote at
school elections, and Mrs. Murphy
prepared to exercise her privilege. Be
fore leaving home she wrote out a
check, folded it carefully and put it
in her purse. She did the same thing
with her ballot, and then went to the
polls and voted-her check. When
the votes were counted her husband
was tied with another man, and the
question was settled by drawing lots.
Mr.. Murphy was beaten. If Mrs. Muir
ply had voted her ballot instead of
her check he would have been elected.
A mere man, it is true, might have
done the same thing; but none was
ever known to do it. OF course this
proves nothing against the fitness of
the woman for the ballot.

THE DRAWING ROOM VERSUS THE
 BERTH

There is evidently no requirement ol Id" which may not be literally construed Ill tue matter of reimbursing representatives ol tie government for their expenditures Tor traVei oii of;o;al business An interesting case mas fe- cently come before the comptroller of the treas urv bv reference from the office of the auditor for the war department, in the matter ot the dis- t;nonisbed citizens who serve gratultously on inc hoard of managers for the National Home for Disabled Volunteer Soldiers There are, Ill realitv several of these homes incorporated un- der that title and ntrusted to the general super vision of a board made up of men of prominence, who periodically are required, by virtue ot thelr connection with the institution, to make trips from place to place where the homes are located. The auditor considered that, in passing on the accounts of the travelling expenses of the mem bers of the board of managers, he must limit the cost of Pullman service to the usual berth m the sleeping car or a seat in parlor car. The treasurer of the institution, however, has been in the habit of providing drawing rooms for his associates. The action of the auditor in disal- lowing this expense, of course, confronted the managers with the prospect of returning to the government the money which had been "unlaw- fully" expended in their behalf.
 The comptroller of the treasury comes man fully to the rescue, and he puts construction on the statutes which is entirely reasonable and in accord with the dignity of the duty and the character of the membership of the soldiers : home board He takes the view that the draw ing room is all right and is justifable luxury considering "the high character and position in life both official and private, of the members of the board of managers and of their ages, and because of the fact that they serve as such mem bers without compensation" In view of this consideration, it is surprising to find that the auditor did not take an equally liberal view, without the necessity of reversal on the part of the comptroller. The gentlemen who serve on the board of managers leave their occupa- tions and their homes with no other reward than having their expenses paid, and they are en- titled to all the comforts which are afforded by modern transportation. It is agreeable to note the reasonable attitude taken by the comptrol- Ier's office in a question which, we repeat does not need to have been question at all.
