Deacon Elden Libby of Bridgton, Me, was a man of rugged virtues and indomitable will. Some winters ago while working in his wood lot he cut his foot badly, but, bandaging the wound roughly and putting snow into his boot to stop the bleeding, contin- ued at his work until nightfan.

It was found by a curious coincidence to have been cast in 1769, the year of the dukes birth.

The only offense then of the writer,

they are in favor of an economical but
entirely feasible method Of securing
sanitary and comfortable and conven-
lent school accommodations to the
children OF the township. It is unfair
and unjust to imply that we are OPP
posed to a sanitary and safe building

We are, however. opposed to an unnec-

load the township with a debt that in

cripple the efficiency Of our schools by

The Georgia Strike.

From the Philadelphia Ledger.
The strike of the engineers upon the
Georgia railroad is altogether outside
the ordinary range of industrial trou
bles, and represents a condition to
which the ordinary rules of economic
justice do not apply. 1t is the more
disturbing because the striking engi-
neers not only are sustained by their
union. but apparently are sustained by
the public opinion Of the vicinage.
They will not run their engines with
negro firemen. and until the railroad
company shall replace all the negro
firemen with white men no trains sail
be moved. The southern railroads
have had many difficulties to overcome
but this persistent race prejudice is
the most perplexing. The unfortunate
negroes in Georgia are denounced for
their supposed laziness. When they
find work to do. for which they are ca
pable, white prejudice forbids their en-
ployment There is no reason why
they should not make good firemen.
and there is very well defined CON-
plant that they do not. The COM
plant seems to be solely against the
one thing that they can not change,
their color.

THE ILLINOIS PRIMARY.

Now that Lorimer has the senator
ship Of Illinois although he was not
the man who was selected by the pr!-
mary, It may be well to inquire exactly
what the use Of that primary was. 1t
is not, therefore, to be assumed that
all primary laws are worthless. That
would be an unwarranted assertion.
1t appears that the primary law was
purposely made obscure and easy of
evasion By the politicians. It is prob
ably true that had the circumstances
been such that those in control of the
primary law. who were also the ones
in control of politics had wanted to,
they would have insisted that the law
meant something else and would have
raised hurrah about the rights Of
the people.
We are not shedding any tears over
the defeat OF Hopkins. nor are we glad
that the agile Mr.. Lorimer climbed in
to place. But there is a lesson to be
learned by Indiana and other states
that are considering a primary law.
There is lessen to be learned by the
democratic contingent which clamor.
ed wildly for popular election of SEN
ators.
II Indiana makes a primary law we
hope 1t will not be the farce that the
Illinois law has proved to be.

LITERARY WORLD
MARRIAGE As A BUSINESS PROP
oSiTiON,

A unique plan for putting married
life on q business basis Is outlined in
the Woman's Home Companion for
June. Says this magazine:
THE first matter to consider is the
amount of assets available This, Of
course, amounts to exactly what the
outside world considers the services OF
the producing partner to be worth.
This income must be divided to meet
the various expenses Of the business
under a general classification as fol-
lows:
First: General Operating Expense.
This is the most important department
of all, and includes food, servants,
fuel. light, rent Tor interest and taxes.)
Second: Sinking Fund. This is al
so most important account, and
should not for any reason be overlook
ed Upon it depends absolutely the
prosperity of the firm through periods
of financial depression. 1t includes
ance premiums.
Third: Repairs and Depreciation.
This is often considered a part Of the
operating expense. but it is better kept
separate 1t includes depreciation OF
the plant, and on equipment, such as
dishes. cooking utensils, furniture, bed
and table linen.
Fourth: The Contingent Fund. This
| includes church dues. charities, theater
tickets, telephone and books and maya
zines.
Fifth: Emergency Fund. This in
cludes doctor, druggist and dentist.
I'm order to transact business on d
| sound basis, all of these funds must be
considered What remains of the cap
ital may be divided between the part
| ners as a salary. From their salaries
| the partners must pay their personal
expenses OF clothing and incidentals
The size of the salaries therefore de
ponds entirely upon the economical
management of the affairs of the firm
It is unwise to raise salaries at the ex
pense Of the Sinking Fund. though this
is often a temptation. In case thu
partners feel that their salaries are
not large enough, it is better to ap
point an investigating committee II

ity. condemns it as unsafe, Implying
that it is likely to tumble down at any
moment. With this judgment a large
number OF the taxpayers-including
many contrary to the doctors asser-
ton, who have children in school
most cordially disagree. In the arch

ed as originally defective and as sub

are said to be badly cracked. One

that these cracks running from the
foundation to the gable" yawn and
cape at the beholder as he passes by
with direful and threatening aspect
1t is enough to say that these state
ments are greatly exaggerated. Cracks
on the east facade Of the building are
infinitely described. The description
of these cracks had to be minute. for
the cracks themselves are very minute.
They can not be seen from the nearby
street in front without the use OF tel
escope. The fact is that the cracks
in the walls Of this building are insig-
nificant and do not in any perceptible
degree impair the solidity and safety
OF the building. There are such as
are found In almost all brick struct-
ures. Not willing. however to disa-

Bisbee daily review., 1909-01-03

To the Editor of the Republican:
 Sir:-Within the last few days l have received letters from Senator Dick of Ohio, Senator Nelson of Min nesota, and Senator Cullom of Hi nois. These letters are in answer to mine on the question of getting state hood for Arizona Senator Dick says that he stands ready to give his as sistance, and Senator Nelson says the same, but he adds that there is so much to do in the short session that he does not expect the statehood bill to be reached Both Senators Nelson and Dick are members of the territorial committee, of which Sena- tor Beveridge Is chairman.
 All that the friends of Arizona can do is to keep up the fight for state hood, and if the bill cannot be reach ed and passed at this session, then press it for the extra session to be called by Presidentelect Taft imme- diately after 4th of March.
 If we can secure its passage in the eafly spring, that will give us time to hold our constitutional convention so as to be able to submit the constitu- tion to vote of the people by Octo- Der or November
 l do not agree with the idea eN- pressed by Governor Kibbey, that he or any one else should interfere or attempt in any manner to bind the people of Arizona hy an enabling act or otherwise, or to in any manner ] fOrestaIl the action of the people. Such action, in my judgment, would ! only serve to arouse an antagonism which would be hurtful. The free peo- pie of Arizona should, and must be, left free to adopt such constitution as they desire. Give 10 this people the same free and Independent right that other states have had. Nothing more. nothing less. This they VIII ask for and have the right to demand. In all political parties this territory has plenty Of clean, able men, men who will, no doubt, take pride m framing and adopting a constitution which will be beneficial to and cred 1t to the new state. If there are good things in the constitution of Okla homa or any other Of the states, then we should be glad tc accept of and adopt the same.
