CLEVELAND'S HONESTY.
Money was No Temptation to
Him in Amy Way.

In speaking of Cleveland, no one
can help reiterating the word "hon-
esty." All decent people are sup
posed to be honest and an Indifferent
reader might well inquire, why such
harping on so common a virtue? But
aside from the fact that thorough
going honesty is not absolutely per-
vasive, certainly in Cleveland's case
the trait was phenomenally developed.
The honesty of the man was the mind
of Mr.. Taft, and all the memorial
speakers, whether they knew little or
much, and most of them knew him
well. Two men who, in different
times and places, were long acquaint-
ed with him, said to me lately that
Mr.. Cleveland was the most honest
man they had ever known.
A few years ago a prominent
editor, when talking to me about Mr..
Cleveland, expressed a good deal of
admiration and but one doubt. He
said Mr.. Cleveland's relations to
certain rich friend, and the ex-presi-
deft's money making would have to
be explained. I answered that these
would not have to be explained to me
because, though did not know much
about his financial affairs, could
vouch for the fact that he was the
one of the most scrupulous men had
ever known; and, besides, knew he
was not what we call nowadays rich
man. A little while after this Mr..
Cleveland happened to be talking
pretty freely with me about his re-
sources, and told me about just hav-
ing lost several thousand dollars on a |
scruple- e-unnecessarily as it turned
out. After relating the incident, he /
said: "But I don't deserve any credit |
for that, because money has never
been temptation to me-"
told this to my editorial friend,
and he replied: "Oh, have gotten |
over all anxiety about that, as I've
found out how glad he was to get the
check we sent him for his article"
Soon after he left office and settled |
in Princeton, he told me that there |
was talk about making a position for |
him with large salary attached. He
said such good friends were in the
movement that he could not act
hastily and in way that would seem |
but that he would not ac-
cept position in which he would be
unable to, perform adequate service.
He, in fact, declined the position.
remember that at time when he
was adding to his not large income by
contributing to peri
odicals, he insisted upon certain pub
fishers paying him considerably less
than the sum they offered for a GER
tain article published by them, on the
ground that it was more than he had
received for a similar contribution
published elsewhere.
When, in his late years, he heard
chat very young boy, in whom he
was especially interested, had been
surprised that his teacher should think
it worth while to commend, BEFORE
the entire class, his conduct i'll refus-
ing to take "perfect" mark in COM

covered slight error, Mr.. Cleveland
was immensely gratified. He said to

Whenever that
Great prodigal
Prosperity
Concludes that home
Has some attractions
Over husks
And choosing
Evermore to roam,
And turns bis face
Toward the place
Where first he saw
The light of day,
And where the lamp
Has faithfully
Been burning since
He went away
Whenever, as we
Said before,
His trousers are
The worse for dogs,
And he would eat
His breakfast food
With better company
Than hogs,
And finally
Makes up his mind
That having had
His little fling,
He wants to see
The old homestead,
And mother,
And that sort of thing
Whenever he feels
Equal to
The humble pie
And kindly chaff,
By thunder,
We will wager him
He never saw
A fatter calf
Or one to
Better purpose fed
Than we've got
Out behind the shed.

The old Romans tried to make Sep
tember the seventh month, as it's name
indicates, but this brought Labor day
around at season when capital was
at the seashore and could not be i'm
pressed by the parade, and was sub
sequently made the ninth month. Do
mitian the tyrant was among those
who complained of the misnomer, and
he gave it his own royal name of Ger
manieus; but as soon as he was in
Africa the reigning Emperor, Bigbil-
Illus, reversed the policy and restored
to the month the only name in the
calendar remaining to us as it was in
the beginning.

ear under bush on the right, and Mr..
Pinchot and Mr.. Ballinger will alter

stage at the rear. In the remote back
ground group of football players
will be putting in fall hair, and farmers
will be passing to town with their
crops along the extreme right side of
the stage and returning in automobiles
on the left. After the preliminary
pantomime, in which the teacher will
dash out of the schoolhouse and catch
the boy, Mr.. Taft lay his other ear on
the anvil, and several aeroplanes pass
over, the consumer will come out and
sing ''Listen to Pencil on NV Ribs.n
And then the big show will begin,
and summer time will scoot, the quail
will do trial trill upon his magic
flute, the calf will hoist his tail aloft
and jump from hill to hill, the dread
mosquito will confess and fall upon
his bill, the birds will call the moving
van, to warmer climates bound, and
the first acorn will fall and raise a
welt upon Une ground.
It is very pleasant thing
To think upon the Fall
And what a comfort probably
1t will be to us ali,
To think upon the cider press,
The pumpkins turning gold,
The squirrel picking hazel nuts,
The chigger catching cold,
A new supply of oxygen
Replenishing the air.
And Nature touching up the scene
With color here and there.

FIFTY FOOT FALL
FOR BERT BARR
Thrown Over Cliff Along the Roose-
welt Road.

Bert Barr was the victim of an ac-
cident on Monday from which he had
but one chance in many of escaping
with his life. He was returning from
Roosevelt on a motorcycle and at one
of the most dangerous spots in the
road the machine struck a stone and
the rider was hurled over a cliff for
a fall of not less than fifty feet
He alighted upon a sharp and jagged
rock which pierced his clothing and
flesh for depth of a couple OF inches
and held him suspended and helpless,
where he remained until some freight
ers whom he had passed not long be-
fore came up and released him.
He was brought to the city late on
Monday by his father. W. T. Barr, who
had been telephoned from Mesa. where
he met him.
On his arrival in town he was able
to walk only with the assistance of
crutches and a man at his side

THE ROOSEVELT ROAD
THE WORLDS GREATEST
Description of the Highway by Van
Norden's Magazine.

The current number of Van Nor
den's Magazine has an elaborate de-
scription of the Roosevelt road which
it regards as one of the remarkable
thoroughfares of the world.
Says the magazine:
''Oid Rome with her Appian Way
has to take a back seat The United
States has completed the most costly
highway in the world, that forty mile
road, (too short by almost half), from
Phoenix to Roosevelt, Arizona Four
teen miles of it was carved out of
solid rock and if you should be a bit
reckless about looking over the edge
at the scenery below, you would be
in danger of dropping on to a bed of
wild flowers a thousand feet away.
That part which was quarried cost
$225,O0O feet to the mile; few
miles across the desert and through
giant cactus cost practically nothing.
But the greatest part of this mar
Vicious highway is along the sides of
mountains and over Wales A recent
traveller over it declared that he had
visited the Garden of Eden and 'The
Land that God Forgot" 1t is a part
of the governments home making
scheme and the beautiful homes and
prosperous farms along the way are
ample evidence that the immense out
lay for building was not in vain. En-
gineers who have gone over it declare
it TO be a monumental achievement
The one who built it now declares
that when he got to the top of Fish
Creek hill a commanding eminence
I ha 81 4
over the cliff below him there was q
blind canyon into which there was
not even a footprint. At the distance
of a thousand feet he saw a tiny
stream of water and a few greer
trees. He wished to reach them, but
n hurried reconnaissance showed him
that to go around the canyon meant
the addition of fifteen miles to the
road. SO he decided to blast at q
steep grade, down the side of the
cliff and it was done. 1t would be
simply terrifying TO go over the road
today had not the government built il
broad and comfortable with many
easy grades and safe turnouts.
This road is a part of the Salt
River valley project. Along side it is
one of the worlds greatest engineer
ing works, about to be completed
the Roosevelt dam. This wonderful
structure will be 2S4 feet above the
river bed, will be 1880 feet long and
40 feet thick at the base. Placed
by the side of a twenty story building
it would rise twenty feet above it,
while the length on top would more
than cover two city bolcks. Across
the top there will be a roadway
twenty feet wide"
The article is illustrated by a view
Of the nighttime wagon road directly
above the east wall of the dam.
