We were some time getting our
bearings after the storm was over. and
II was week before we began to rec
onnoiter the gulf to find out what
wreckage from the harbor might be

wrecked. and decided to go out to

good chance for salvage though If one
saved anything there was no money
left to pay us for doing It, Anyway,
wanted to see what was out there.
The water was full OF driftwood and
wreckage, but there was nothing Of
any value, for most everything had
been split into kindling wood Most of
the stun we saw was wreckage from
cabins that had lined the shore. Pret-
ty soon one of the men sighted gov

the 81 per capita tax. The committee
believed that the state highway depart.
ment should be reorganized and the
present law be made more flexible to
suit varying conditions. Some method
should be found to reduce the cost of

owner of $4,000 home pays 500
The committee expressed itself as
unalterably opposed to involving the
taxpayer In an interest bearing bonded
debt. On the school question II said
that a township high school should be
established In every district and ngri-
culture and manual training should
be taught In these schools. Among the
speakers at the public session was
Hon. Willet Hays, assistant secretary
OF agriculture.

these: Indorsing compulsory teaching

cided to make no change In the names

When the heart action is
weak, it fails to pump the blood
through the lungs with sufficient
rapidity. Then the lungs do not
absorb the proper amount OF
oxygen, although they may be
taking in a normal amount Of
air. The result is shortncss of
breath, smothering spells, diff

FORMER TEMPE MAN
 HURT IN CALIFORNIA
Jack Campbell Fell From a Second
 Story Window in Sawtelle.

The many friends of Jack Campbell will be grieved to learn of an accident that befell him upon his return to Cal ifornia last week. He made the trip as far as Sawtelle without incident and there took room for the night, in- tending to re-enter the Soldiers Home the next morning His room was on the second floor. For some time Jack has been in i'll health and on one or two occasions has been so III that for short periods of time he was delirious. One of these spells came upon him during the night at the hotel He imagined that some one was after him and in an effort to escape he rushed out of the room and through an open door. falling the height of the two stories to the hard pavement below. He sustained quite serious injuries by the fall. ' His head was badly cut and his shoulder bone was broken
 A letter containing the above ac- count of the accident was received by R. L. Mullen yesterday. The writer of the letter further stated that as soon as his condition permitted, MT. Camp bell was removed to the hospital at the home and at that writing was resting as well as could be expected.

THE SAD DEATH 0F
 THE SUTTON BABY
The Result of the Accidental Drinking
 of Carbolie Acid.

Dorothy, the two-year- daughter of Mir. and Mrs. Burt Sutton. died Thursday evening after lingering three days The incidents of the fatal acci- dent have already been related in The Republican and the affair was a most deplorable one. The little girl swal- lowed a quantity of carbolic acid while visiting with her mother. the Nichols. at the Fortuna mine north of Phoenix. The little girl was hurried to Phoenix for medical attention and later the same day was brought over here. The local physicians in charge of the case gave very little hope from the start. The baby's throat and mouth were ter ribly burned and some of the acid had even reached the stomach. According to one of the physicians yesterday, however. death was not so much due to the burns as to the poison of the acid. The accident is a most distress ing one and words of sympathy for the parents have been heard on all sides.
 MT. Sutton has been in Globe for some time. When the condition of the little girl was realized he was sent for by telegraph. He received the wire Thursday morning and rode to the end of the P. & E., hoping to catch that afternoons train. He missed it un- fortunately by just a few minutes and was obliged to lay over there all that night. He arrived on yesterday after noon's train.
 The funeral win be held this morning at nine o'clock from the Fellows home on McAllister street. The interment will be made in the Double Butte cem- etery.

THE CONQUEST OF POVERTY.

Within the last score of years the o-called charity societies" have un- dergone remarkable development and changes. The awakening of the social conscience. the spread of the doctrine of the brotherhood of man. the phe- nomenal increase in the population of our cities and particularly the pro- gressive ideas of the leading charity workers" have been responsible for a new view of charity. the view that poverty is curable. if by the better ment of social conditions poverty can be prevented.
 In short the emphasis of charity work has been shifted. not violently but effectively. during the last twen- ty-yes, during the last ten, years. One illustration will stand for many In 1907 the Charity Organization so- ciety of New York city celebrated it's first quarter century of existence In the history published two years ago the statement is made that: "The society has deliberately determined, without neglecting in any way its du- ty in relief of individual cases of poverty. to lay emphasis on the field of removing or minimizing the causes of poverty. and to firmly establish and extend these forms of work by organizing them into a department for the permanent improvement of social conditions"
 I would ask you to read the above quotation over once more. very care fully. for it is the key to the con- quest of poverty. Not any less re- lief to the poor who individually need help; not any less care and sympa- thy, and counsel and friendly aid. often extending through months and even years. But better directed ef- fort to correct and prevent the con- ditions that create poverty and tend to perpetuate it.-Metropolitan Nigga zine for october.

TEMPE DEPARTMENT
THE BRETON CASE
 IS STILL IN COURT
A New Charge Is the Latest Develop
 ment-Mr. Bruce Let Out.

Though nothing has appeared in print the past few days, the Britton case has not yet been settled. As readers will remember. MT. Britton and charged with the theft of 1500 brick. The warrants were sworn out by Jake Cottrell of Phoenix. The story was told in full at that time and the charge was so unwarranted and utterly ridic- ulous on the face of 1t, since it was plain to every one that there was no intent to steal on the part of either of the young men, that considerable in- dignation was aroused here. It was hardly thought that the matter would be given the serious consideration of the court, but MT. Cottrell continued to push the case with the result that the two men went to Phoenix Thurs day to have hearing. It developed then that there was a flaw in the pro- ceedings somewhere. whereupon Mir. Bruce was discharged and Mir. BrittoR- was re-arrested.- The charge, how ever, in the second instance was diff ferent from the first The first war rant specified petty larceny. the value of the brick being s15. The second warrant charges misdemeanor only. This case comes up in the Pboenix court some time early next week.
 That MT. Britton's intentions were perfectly honorable was evidenced by the fact that upon his first seeing the owner of the brick. he offered full pay ment for them. which was declined. The next day. the day before he was arrested. he mailed MT. Cottrell a check in full for the amount.

UNCONSCIOUS PLAGIARISM

English current phrases used in speeches pake plagiarism common. Disraeli borrowed his Peace with honor" for it was used by Burke. and occurs in Shakespeare. Mir. Ceilings phrase. Three acres and a cow.'' originated with Canning Another phrase, used by MT. John Morley. Mend it or end it." in a speech at St. James hall in 1884 in the house of lords. owed its origin probably to Sir Walter Scott, who. in The Monas- tery." makes one of his characters say: My fate calls me elsewhere, to scenes where I shall end it or mend it." Many stock political phrases also which are generally attributed to statesmen have had very different origin. "The greatest happiness of the greatest number" was first seen in a pamphlet by pr. Joseph Priestley Rev. J. A. Galbraith. a Dublin pro- lessor. was the inventor of Home rule" The words, "Nonconformist conscience" first made their bow in a letter sent to the London Times by "A Wesleyan Minister" Goldsmith was the father of Measures. not men" Napoleon III. first uttered the words, Defense, not defiance" Dickens. in Little Dorrit." invented Red tape and the Policy of pin bricks" first saw the light in the columns of the French paper Le Matin.
