DEMOCRATIC CONFERENCES
Not Much Expected in the Way ol
 Party Harmony.

From the Philadelphia Public Ledger.
 Americans who believe that govern ment cannot become wholley healthful until the opposition party is united up- on coherent and ineligible set of principles are watching the course of democrats in the extra session in the hope of seeing the development of the nucleus around which a real party can gather. The death of Ex-Senator M. 0. Butler reminds them that the told school'' of the south, men of definite convictions and social dignity and us. ually of training in the early literature of American political philosophy, has departed and will not reappear. The report that William J. Bryan will be candidate for the Nebraska senator ship gives accent to the debilitating effect of irrec concilable democratic dis cords. There is truth in the fiippancy that half of the democratic senators would vote with Aldrich if they knew just how to preserve their consistency.
 Party conferences have not yet indi- cated basis of democratic union in the senate. There is agreement on an income tax, but the reason is not the permanent good of the country. It is avowedly an opportunist bid for th2 favor of populist votes. In dealing with the tariff itself democratic senators like democratic congressman, are ready to take part in any game of scramble and trade suggested by local interests in their states. And any patched un. derstanding that may be reached will mean nothing of moral purpose or DO litical policy. The interest of the ex tra session will be confined to the various tariff schedules promulgated by Senator Aldrich and his colleagues ir republican leadership.

DREADNoUGHTs AND FINANCE
Draining the Money Markets to Devel-
 op Armament.

A. II. Parnall, in Van Norden Magazine.
 From present indications, information al finance in ths future will resolve it. self more and more into a question of Dreadnaught finance. With England practically committed to policy of laying down eight, or possibly twelve, of these $1o,ooo,o0o battle ships this year, MT. David Lloyd George, the chan cellor of ths British exchequer, has any thing but pleasant task before him in framing the budget, and in Germany, which apparently does not intend to be left behind in the race for naval su- premacy, serious dissension already has ar.ssn over the proposed plan for new taxation to provide for naval and other expenditure. The latest nation to enter the lists is Autsria, which, within the past few weeks, has announced its in tention of commencing the construction of thres Dreadnoughts of the latest type.
 This may account in part for the un- usual action of Vienna of late in pur- chasing large quantities of gold in both the London and Paris markets. When this movement began it was thought to be due to the desire of the Austrian government to strengthen its hands and adopt more ambitious policy in view of its added power and prestige, follow ing the successful outcome of the Aus tro- Servian controversy. Later, how ever, opinion somewhat changed, and it was ascribed to the necessity of pro viding for indemnity payments, but with the announcement of the Dread Eought programme, it would seem that both views were in part correct.
 In this connection 1t may be stated on the highest international banking authority, that the question of finance had most to do with the prevention of an outbreak of war in Europe, which undoubtedly would have changed the map of the world very materially. Ii is only few weeks ago that the de. cision was arrived at in St. Petersburg that Russia could not afford to go to war at the present time, and this mes sage being conveyed to the servian gov. ernment, made it clear that Servis would either have to submit to the Austrian demands or enter upon the absolutely hopeless task of fighting Aus tria single handed.

We fear Mr. Roosevelt is destined to find that African hunt beastly bore before it is finished; that is, if we are to believe the stories already coming from the dark continent, and accept them as indicative Of those to follow.
 The former president spent his first night under canvas in A.rica on April 22, 1t appears. From the story concern ing this interesting event, appearing in our disnifed, reliable, and altogether lovely contemporary. the Philadelphia Public Ledger, we learn some interest ing things. We are informed that the camp was "pitched near the railroad station;" that ''lions were proving around in the vicinity of the tents;" that "heasts of the jungle" ''roared" within easy hearing distance, but that through it all "calmly the president slept" Moreover, during the day "about twenty giraffes, with their young, wild beestes, hartebeestes, water bucks, zebras, duikers, ostriches, and one rhinocercs' were seen by the mighty hunter, and so forth and so on, all topped of with imposing and highly strenuous headlines.
 Pretty good for the first day and night-and all "near the railroad sta tion.'' Too bad, we think, that the president should have slept through all the prowling and tle roaring. He ought to sit up and share those exciting sounds from the jungles with the news paper correspondents-for nobody Woald be mean enough to suspect that they existed only in the imagination of some enterprising writer 1000 or 5000 miles away; in New York, for in stance.
 Aside from the latter phase of the situation, however, what is the use hunting in any such country as that? Why proceed into ths interior, cutting one's way through dense tanglewoods, over rough country, and through myri- ads of tsetse flies and other pests in search of game, when all one has to do is pitch one's tent "rear the rail road station' and have the varmints amble about, roaring and rubberneck- ing and anxious to get shot full of holes the very first thing?
 It is useless to tell US Theodore Roosevelt is going to enjoy such molly coddlish sport. He did not go to Af- rica for the purpose of seeing the ami mals walk up and eat cut of his hand. Not he--unless he has been known in Washington these seven or eight stren- uous years without ever being found out even slightly. It would be more fun for him to sit in the back window and throw bootjacks at Thomas cat on a dark and stormy midnight than to hunt where the game is so easy.
 We fear the enterprising correspond. ents are determined to r.ake MT. Roose- welt shoot up all Africa before he even gets his gun loaded.

The report of the condition of the
 First National bank, published else where in this mornings Silver Belt, mirrors very accurately the healthy and prosperous condition of Globe and the famous mining district bearing the city's name. At no time in the history of this financial institution has it been able to make a better showing than to- day. True the figures may have been larger as regards some items, but the statement as a whole, so far as financial health and solidity go, could not be i'm proved upon. The deposits show slight improvement over the last statement and there is good, substantial cash reserve. The people of Globe generally share with the stockholders and of icers of the First National in the grat- i6cation afforded by such statement.

INTELLECTUAL STIMULATES
Ways of Distinguished Workers to
 Arouse Mental Activity

From the Westminster Gazette.
 To all engaged in literary work there comes time when for the time being the imagination flags, ideas seem to have vanished, and all appeals to in- sipration seem to be powerless. There are well known cases in which great writers have had recourse to artificial stimuli. voltaire and Balzac found what thsy required in coffee. Goethe preferred burgundy, while De Musset and Edgar Allen Poe fled to alcohol. Hasheesh was to Baudelaire what opi- uln was to the author of ''The Comics sions.' In his early days Goethe found that indulgence in wine impeded his intellectual work, for he had noticed that when Schiller drank more than usual the literary results were deplor- able. The faults with which Schiller had been approached by his critics, Goethe declared, were due to no other causs than this. The mixture of alec. hol and absinthe in which De Musset placed his hopes ruined his brain and he ceased to write. The genius of De Quincey was destroyed by opium.
 More innocent havs been the means employed by others to awaken inspira. tion. Some like to have noise and movement around them. One French painter does his best work when his friends are fencing in the room or talk. ing and shouting around him. Some writers go to the cafe or walk up and down the busy streets to think over what they are going to write. Msr engaged in scientific pursuits will walk furiously up and down their room with their back bent and an absent look probing to the depths the problems tha, baffie them. Kant went for the sams walk every day, thinking over hi. "Kritik." Caesar Franck used to play for an hour passages from his "Beati tudes'' to excite himself to compost tion. Goncourt confessed in his Jour nal" that like Flaubert, he is compelled "de nnonter le bourrichon' before he Ifelt it to sit down and write.
 1 What is the common basis of all these various ways of arousing mental activ ity? They must give rise to sensorial stimuli which set in motion the play ct cerebral phenomena. M. Georges Ma tisse suggests that these stimuli excit' the secretions of certain glands. These
Daily Arizona silver belt., 1909-05-02

secretions alone would increase the dy- mamie power of ths cerbral machine, altt ough he seems to be doubtful if this explains everything. The one thing clear is that intellectual effort requires in the majority of instances condition of nervous exaltation. That is one of the reasons why poets are not always men of quite amiable characters. As he remarks, Flato was quite right in crowning them with garlands and ban ishing them from his republic.
