A LAUNDERING INVESTIGATION

LAUNDERING INVESTIGATION
 The solution, now going on in Washington, of the question, What is whisky" we think, is accompanied by a great deal of blundering. The selection of President Taft as an ar bitrator was undoubtedly a mistake MT. Taft, it is true, has a reputation above all Americans of having brought order out of chaos in all our far flung possessions. He has pacified Panama; he has been a panacea in the Philippines; he has curbed Cuban restlessness and more than all, he has been a soothing and healing emol- lient for the abrasiOns caused by President Roosevelt here at home.
 But for all the offices which he has filled so ably, and for all these public duties he has performed so skillfully, he has had great fitness, inherent or acquired. But so far as we know he possesses no qualifications whatever for the solution of a question which has set experts by the ears. As a total abstainer any opinion which MT. Taft may finally form as to the proper essentials of. whisky, will be purely academic-as likely to be wrong as right, in fact more likely to
 
 frequently than not, misses the mark. We know of at least a dozen men right here in Phoenix whose dictum regarding whisky, rather than that of MT Taft, would command our re- spect and confidence. eve were on the point of printing a list of these local experts.)
 Beside, we believe, this question has been given undue preference over oth- CT equally important and older prob lems which remain unsolved. These things should be taken up in their regular order. There, for instance, is that earlier interrogatOry, What is democrat?" to which, on second thought, the later inquiry, What is whisky" is corollary, even more, cognate, that is to say, they were born together.
 Let us proceed then with that prob lem toward whose solution some pro- gress has already been made. Per haps when it is reached it will be the solution of both problems. When we have ascertained what democrat is, we plead for regularity in this mat ter

THE CLEVELAND LETTER.

The acquittal of Broughton Bran tion with the sale of the Cleveland letter to the New York Times was to be expected. If the letter had been a pure fake it is difficult to see how a charge of grand larceny could be sustained, for in such an event the doors of jails would be constantly standing open for yellow cores pondents. It is doubtful, though, whether this was an entire fake. Though Brandenburg admitted that the signature was not that of MT. Cleveland, and that he himself had written the letter embodying the re- marks of Mir Cleveland in various interviews, he claimed that he had submitted it to Mir Cleveland, who gave it his approval.
 At the time of its publication the authenticity of it was disputed by democratic leaders, but it was re- ceived without question by republi cans who thought they recognized in it the somewhat ponderous style of the great ex-president. Beside, the letter set forth MT. Cleveland's well known and long entertained estimate of MT. Bryan. There naturally seem- ed no doubt of its reliability.

The instructions issued by the Chi nese companies to their countrymen to have nothing to do with white women ought to bring a blush to the cheeks of those females who are re- sponsible for the relations which it is the purpose of the companies to prevent. The Sigel case in it's earlier stages was by no means the first of its kind. Only the end of it was more tragic and sickening.

 These figures represent a larger circu lation than that of all other Phoenix dailies combined. and is the largest in Arizona by more than 2OOO. The Re publican is the only Arizona newspape: that makes public it's circulation as cer tified to by the Association of American Advertisers, which is the only recognized authority in the United States.

The Literary Digest for this week has very interesting article on street lighting as a business asset. Sub stantially- the same arguments are set out as were offered by The Re- publican last fall in advocacy of a continuance of the illumination put on at the time of the territorial fair. The Digest advances the proposition that a street is made valuable by whatever increases travel on it, and it must be admitted that a well light ed street will attract more travel than one dimly lighted. So one block may become more valuable than an ad- joining one for no other reason than that it is better lighted. In the same way the bulk of travel may be at tracted to one side of the street if brighter lights are there than on the other side. In short, property own CTS in the business section have a certain way of making their property more valuable for renting purposes than that of their less enterprising neighbors.

The mining companies are willing
to pay their share Of the taxes but
they ask that others pay theirs also.
They ask that mine valuations be made

The Frenchman Got Around the Law
Against Kissing.
A gentleman who had been uncere.
moniously hustled out of Paris play
house because he Kissed when the cur
tain fell on the second act brought an
action for damages against the mana
ger of the said house.
The court decided in favor of the
Kissing gentleman. adding that if a
spectator is allowed to show his de-
light by indulging in applause his
neighbor has also the right to show
disapprobation in an audible fashion.
But the law in France was not always
so tolerant. In the middle of the sew
enteenth century it was strictly for
hidden to hiss in playhouse. and in
every theater there were number of
''gardes Franchises" with strict orders
to arrest any person infringing the
law.
But the French are not easily put
down by silly regulations. and when
ever they see an opportunity they at
tack the authorities with that fearful
weapon riGicule. In this case such an
opportunity came at the Coincide
Franchise during the performance of

and as it was foreseen that similar
