RESULT OF LIVING TOO FAST
incident That Points Moral Showing Evil of Our Present Social
 Conditions.

Jerome s. McWade, the millionaire collector of Duluth, condemned in a recent lecture American pugnacious- ness.
 My morning paper" said he, tells me how A breaks B's jaw because he happens to stumble over B's foot in a street car. Arrested for assault. he ~ays: The man who crosses his legs in a crowded car deserves a licking
 That sort of ruffanism is intoler- able. Yet in our nervous irritabiIity due to our climate and to the break neck pace of our business life, we are continually squabbling and fighting"
 Mir McWade smiled. .
 Only yesterday" he said, T heard of copper miner who was hurrying homeyard, worn out with too hard a days work, when he came upon an- other chap under a street latnp.
 Eello.' said he, are you Dick Sweeny of Two Harbors?'
 The other chap, who was also Jagged to death, snarled out:
 No, ain't Dick Sweeny of I've Harbors.'
 Then the first chap shout out his fist and landed heavy left on the others jaw.
 Well, take that, then said he, for beln' SO like him!'"

FROM SUPER TO SUPER.

When the new British war vessel. the Indefatigabie, was launched 2 table of comparisons was given among the descriptions of the boat. It was suggested by the competition in ship building of this kind between England and Germany, and it presents an in teresting record of progress.
 Beginning with 1905-6 there was the British Invincible, which had length of 5SO feet, a displacement of 17,250 tons and 41,O09 horse power The next date is 1907, and the boat under re- view was made in Germany and gi7- ea the name Won der Tam. Her ilength is $50 feet, displacement II. .250 tons, horse power 45,0OO. Then comes ithe Indefaugable. which is happily chased as a "super-Invincible." She Is credited with a length of 555 feet, a displacement of 1e,000 tons and i ,OCO horse power. While the boat was being constructed the Germans began work on two ships which might te described roughly as 'suDec-Iadc- fadgable.7 They are each 57O feet long, have displacement of 23,09O tons and 5000 horse power. But the end is not yet. For the British build CTS have plans for a double super that [ is to be brought out next year and that will be 500 feet long and have displacement of 25,O00 tons and TO- | GOO horse power, and a dispatch just received from London tells Of even more ambitious plans.
 It is said tlfat the IndefatisaEle be- longs to the cruising class of var ship, in which speed and enduring mobility" are regarded as of prime importance and tho table Illustrates the advance that is being made with that class. A comparison extending over a longer period Of years is. how ever, more striking. Near the begin

REDUCING CAN NON'S MAJORITY.

Sometimes the speaker discharges sulphur and vulgarity on his critics, and sometimes he gathers about him what dignity he can and with an i'm pressive mixture Of meekness and pride refers to himself as the choice of the majority. The noble represen- tatiyes of noble party who have a cinch on legislation have elevated him Ito his lofty position and reposed a great trust in him temporarily. So long as that trust is justified by the speakers actions he may humbly hope to remain as the chosen instrument of the party, But he has no power apart from the party majorit-.
 Like many pretty theories. this one does not work cat in practice as the speaker would have us believe. hTt there is enough in it to challenge the progressives to war They would take Cannon at his word and lay out a plan of campaign which will have not merely his personal overthrow for it's object but a complete transfer of pow CT from reactionaries to progressives.
 Senator Cummins talked sound prae- tical politics when he approved of a systematic effort to reduce the iH- nuence of the ruling clique and to put it's members in such position that they will consult rather than command, These men will never be affected by conciiatory tactics. They may speak sagely of the beauties of compromise when they never intend to yield at all They will resist even after it is plain that they are steadily losing popular support because they are true bourbons.
 To dethrone them there must be continued agitation on the stump. ap- peals to public sentiment that will re- suit in hard fighting wherever a re- actionary seeks a nomination to of flee, definite project for reducing the boasted Cannon majority to minority within the party. That way onIy lies success, but fortunately the public has been deeply stirred already and the sigas of the times are most encouraging for the insurgents.

THIS MAN MORGAN.

The press dispatches to the Review, dealing with the One Billion Dollar Copper Merger, mentioned in connec- ton herewith the name of J. Pier pont Morgan as one of the leading spirits.
 It is noticeable. that when the fia- ancial interests or the industrial in- terests of the country are sick and in need of attention. it is "Dr." Nor gan. who is always called in for con suItation. It will be remembered that 1t was Morgan who figured in the formation of the United States Stee. Corporation; it was Morgan who planned the Northwestern Securities Co.,: it was Morgan who handled the gold bonds for this country in 1895, and it is Dr. Morgan who has been called in to prescribe a cure-all for the copper trade.
 As a financier J. Pierpont Morgan is without peer in the United States. and although he has reached the age of seventy-two is the active head of this great financial istitution known in the financial world as J. Pierpont Morgan & Co. Morgan is a native of Connecticut, born therc in 1887, at Hartford. His father before him was a banker. and young Morgan went to school in Boston and later graduated from the University of Gottingen in Germany After his graduation he returned to the United States and his rise in the financial world has been rapid and Spectacular. With "Dr." Morgan administering the medicine at the bedside of the cop per patient there is good ground for hope of an early recovery.

--- Sl.s ..a-.oa. q, .s lt U ya.fe,. G-.t of California. and northern California is to separate from southern Califor- mia, etc. It is all talky, talky. In the first place, the constitution of the United States won't permit of it, and in the second place the people of Cali fornia would never consent to it, and unless the constitution and the peo- pie can get together no new state will ever be made
 The United States constitution, in section 3 of article 4, provides that mo new state shall be formed on erected within the jurisdiction of any other state; nor any state be formed by the junction of two or more states, or parts of states, without the consent of the legislatures of the states con cerned, as well as the congress"
 This constitutional provision and the manner in which California was carved out of other territory are pointed to as reasons why such a threat probably would never reach more definite form. It is not the first time that the question of the di- vision of California has arisen, even in so slight way, for taxation was a problem that started such an agita. tion in 1849. At that time, during the constitutional convention, at Mon. terey, there was talk of oyerthrowing the northern influence in California, then territory, and so to make pos. sible an ultimate division of the state. in case the southern part proved to be adapted 10 slave life.

ming of the present century many of these cruisers were built of 10000 tons displacement. Up to 1905 none of them had reached 15,0O0 tons. The .'supers" of fifteen years ago are an cient have beens. And this would be- come the more apparent the more compete the comparison was. Vari- ous details are lacking with regard to the boats we have mentioned; the comparisons are not fully carried out, but we may note in addition to what we have said already that the speed has been hit up from 25 to 30 knots, and that the closest attention has been paid to improvement of arma- meht. The Germans are preparing to play with 9s1-pound projectile; the british have fancy at present for one that weighs 1,250 pounds.
 Our authority indicates that there is pleasant hustle and hurry about the business in his reference to a point that might escape the uninitiat- ed. He says that there is nc particu- lar significance about the date of launch, since some vessels are put afloat mere shells, whereas others are well advanced in construction, but there is an advantage in an early launch because the slip is made avail able for the building of another boat. Let us hope that the rivals will be come so engrossed in using the slips that they will never have time to think of fighting.

Would Pardon Police Clerk.


 Efforts are being made to obtain pardon for James Arthur Kemp, for. merly property clerk Of the police de paTtment of Washington, who was convicted of embezzlement and sen. fenced to two years in the Mounds. vile penitentiary The petition for pardon was signed by business men, and every effort is being made to have this sentence commuted. It is said that Kemp is suffering from catarrh of the stomach, and although he has only nine months to serve it is thought that he will die before his time is out While it may seem hard thing to say, yet it is true that Mir. Kemp embedded the funds with his eyes open. He knew just what he was about, and was not tempted by any one else. After the embezzleI ment he deliberately picked himself up and hiked of for lands unknown, hoping to escape detection. He had good social position. was well liked by everybody, but deliberately chose to do evil, when he must have known that discovery was imminent It is always to be questioned whether the pardoning under any circumstances oi 3 man of the character of Kemp is not more os less betrayal of exact jus tice.

WAR ON WHIsKERS
Declared as Nesting and Breed ing Place for Disease Germs.
Senator of Kansas Says State t3a, Suffered Greatly from Popular Ina- prsssion IL Is Sort of Home
 for GaIways.

Topeka, Kan.-If Dr. Crumbins ot the Kansas state board of health sue ceeds in his new reform of cutting or the whiskers which have made a certain brand of politics famous in this state, thousands of people will rise up and call him blessed. Dr. Crumbine. in the interest of public health, declares that the long, un- 1 kempt boards, which grew luxuriantly upon the faces of some of the men of Kansas, are nothing short of nesting and breeding place for germs. Kansas has been getting away from the whisker habit, until now only a few of the older men wear long boards. The young men of the state have learned that whiskered face is ta- booed in good society, and few there are that are displayed in the ball. room, the reception parlor or the theater. It is the middle-aged and old men who still cling to the hirsute ap- bondage, and these constitute the class which Dr. Crumbine is trying to reach in the interest of the public health.
 The health board secretary. after an exhaustive investigation, says a heavy growth of whiskers is the natural hiding place for germs and the pri- mary cause of many of the infectious diseases which bafile the skill of the medical fraternity. A man with a thick, heavy growth of whiskers un- der the chin, Dr. Crumbine says, rare ly ever permits water, much less soap, to find it's way to the skin, thus car. rying around with him constantly a yeritable nest of germs sufficient to in- feet 9 whole neighborhood.
 Not a few men who believe in the written to Dr. Crumbine to protest against the liberty he takes in seeking to cut and curtail Kansas boards. but nevertheless, the general public is with the doctor in this latest crusade. as the letters which pour into his Of fee every week amply testify.
 State Senator Brady of Lawrence. who has long fought whiskers,. is one of Dr. CTumbine's stanch supporters He says: Tn the days of Papulism, Kansas acquired reputation that has done the state incalculable harm. In the east there is a general belief that the whtskers in this state obscure the sun, and no cartoonist would think of picturing a Kansas farmer without adorning his chin with beard akin to that worn by a Russian nihilist. The man who runs largely to whisk- CTS is generally considered incapable of producing anything else, and is more or less of joke. Hence the popular impression that Kansas is a sort of perennial harvest home for galways has done the state serious harm
 '"An official ukase against side boards and haGgdowns from Dr. Crum- bine will do much to advertise the true sentiment Of Kansas. which is unaiterabIy opposed 10 superfiuous whiskers. The Kansan who wants ar object lesson in long whiskers should make a trip through certain sections of Missouri and Arkansas. There he will find more germ protecting boards in an hour than he will see in Kan sas in week. The fact is that lilac whislzers are so rare in Kansas that when stranger comes into a town wearing a large bunch of them he is 3 sensation"

COM ISSION
 GOvERNM ENT.

Arizona has a city charter law on the statutes which provides for a com mission government similar to the one which has grown so popular in Galveston and other cities which have adopted it. The Arizona law can be put into effect by a majority vote of any city in the territory It was vot- ed down in Douglas once, because of objections which to our mind were trivial at the time. If Douglas or any other city in the territory desires to put its municipal government on a business basis it may do so by the adoption of this new city charter law which provides for commission gov ernment. This law would place all She responsibility for city government in the hands of a commission, or com mon codncil, just as a corporation puts it's business affairs in the hands and under the control of a board of direc- tors. Each commissioner would be 2s the head of the several departments of the city; they would be paid an adequate salary and held responsible for efficient service. Such a govern ment would result largely in the elin- ination of politics from our municipal affairs and this would be beneficial.
 On a careful examination of the present law if it be found that fatal objections exist in it, then the thing to do is to have the law amended and then adopt it

LOWELL ANNEXATION.

The residents of that portion O. Lowell which according to its geo graphical location, should be a part of the incorporated City of Bishee' should view the question of annex alton from a broad and liberal view point, rather from any selfish mo lives. or self gain. which may tenn porarily appear on the surface.
 The proposition to annex outlying and adjacent additions to cities is not new one in this territory. This same condition has repeatedly pre- sented itself in the cities of Phoenix and Tucson and when the occasi' demanded. having in view the great est good to the greatest number, anc the effectual administration of City Government. City Councils have rot hesitated to annex those additions and suburbs, even in the face of vio- lent opposition from the residents of those districts proposed to be in cluded in the city limits.
 The opposition of the few, actuated by selfish motives, should never be permitted to outweigh the vast ma jority in the decision Of any public question for the public good.
 LOWELL IS A PART OF THE WHOLE OF THE BIsBEE DISTRICT AND SHOULD BE A PART OF TIE BIsBEE INCORPORATED CITY LIMITS.
 The reasons for this annexation in brief are as follows:
 l. Regulation of the liquor traffic for the community at large.
 2, Enforcement of uniform sani. tary laws.
 3. Universal Fire Protection.
 f. Improvement of roadweys, streets and trails.
 A very large portion of the money expended by the city. of B.=~le in the past has been in building the roadway between Bisbee and Lowell which made possible the connection  of the suburb with Bisbee by street railway. The sewer system and fire protection system of Bisbee could be extended to Lowell in a very short space of time, which expense would be borne by Bisbee and Lowell tax payers in accordance with their hold ings; Lowell could be given police protection. sanitary regulation and improvements out of the city funds, which if the residents themselves attempted, would cost ten times over the amount of the small city tax each individual would pay within the incorporated limits or Blsbee-
 It is TO longer practical for Biahee and Lowell to live apart They are one community. Their interests are identical aud ordinances for the reg uiation of Bisbee, should properly 'e made to apply to Lowell.
 We belive seventy per cent Of the residents of the Warren district will support the City Council of the City Of Bisbee in any leg1i effort they may make to exte.jd the city limits to the lower erd Of the district. It i: question of good government; p-ac teal and effectual government.
