at least to most Americans. a trip to Jerusalem. the holy city of Chris tians, is regarded as first class sightseeing expedition. Of all the western nations England has had the most intimate relations with Moham- medan people. and English writers. who have had the best opportunity to study the faith of the Mohamme- dan world, unite in declaring that Mohammedanism ia vibrant with life; that it's followers are actuated by more religious zeal than is manifest in many so-called Christian nations; that to break in upon the faith of these people with the ammunition of the average missionary is like at tacking a great fire with bucket of water. The British testimony in this regard comes from their most sue cessfui administrators. It must con vince the western nations that there is yet to be encountered and solved a great world problem, and that the field of action will be centered in Asia Minor"

A BARREN VICTORY.

Virtually all the vic tories won by the government against relating have been gained under the old Elkins law. The vitally important matter of capitalization was omitted entirely from the Hepburn act, and now the commodities clause is found to be toothless.
 After the tariI IS disposed of, the next great task of President Taft will be to give to the country. with the assistance of congress, an interstate commerce law that will be an inter state commerce law in fact as well as in name.

 But the birth of the little princess has cast on fear from the hearts of the sturdy lowlanders and postponed for another generation Germany's en- joyment of her morsel. So many things may happen in a generation. The nations are glad for the Neither. lands, and the health of the fragile little lady will be drunk the world around in foaming goblets.

FREE TRADE IS DEAD.

NS 0@N1.
 Free trade. political issue and DO btical bugbear, is dead in the United States. It has no powerful advocates anywhere. It may be taught acade. mically in some colleges. but only as an adjunct to the perfect day. It can no longer be charged upon the democratic party, for. many demo crats in congress vote boldly for pro lection and none for free trade. An examination of democratic platforms shows that the most radical of them did no more than demand tariff for revenue only. Senator Rsyner was guilty of no exaggeration when he said, T do not believe that the doctrine of free trade would receive single vote on our side of the chamber
 With doctrinaire free trade .si. fenced and with republicans as well as democrats denouncing the wrongs of excessive protection it will not be possible hereafter, says the New York World. for the spokesmen of monopoly to put down every demand for tariff reform as an approach to free trade. That particular scarce crow is worn out. It can alright the masses no more. The privileged plu- tocrats who have used it with so much advantage to themselves in the past must find their defense in future in facts and in reason, and not in false alarms and in panics.
 It has taken twenty years to clear the ground in this fashion of the rubbish heaped there by favored in terests for the confusion of the heed. less, the timid, and the ignorant Per haps in another twenty years 1t will be possible to eliminate the oppres- sive monopolistic features of the tar if without a political and industrial ghost-dance

An indefinite statement was recent ly made concerning the western trip of President Taft, saying that he would travel over the Southern Pa cific railroad from Fl Paso to Califor- mia. Now every city and town along that road from Bowie station to Yuma is announcing a visit from the president. If President Taft desires to see the real thing" in this terri tory it will be necessary for him to come west from Fl Paso over the Fl Paso and Southwestern and take look at the enormous copper smelt- CTS at Douglas and the monster mines in Bisbee.

SENATOR CUM MINIS.

Senator Cumulins of Iowa though a new man in the senate, has sprung at a bound to a position of in fuence, which causes him to be rec ognized as one of the leading spirits of that body. The reason for this was unconsciously explained in his own words few days ago, when making an argument in favor of his income tax amendment to the pend ing tariff bill. It had been said that his position was not that of a sound republican, and in reply to this insin- nation Mir Cummins said:
 T am not a sound republican if sound republicanism means loyalty to that national association of self. ishness known as the Protective Tar. if league, but am sound if sound republicanism means consistency with the utterances of Mckinley, Blaine and Garfield and with the de- clared pledges of the republican plat form
 And in making the foregoing def hilton of sound republicanism," Sen

The impression seems to prevail in Gila county, according to the Globe Silver Belt, that George Smailey at present clerk of the district court will have opposition when it comes to his reappointment under Judge Lewis. A young rsan, Mir. Tom Trevallian, has shied his political cas- tor into the ring. In this we see a renewal of the factional fight in Gila county between the Mauk and Small ey factions.

HOLLANDS ROYAL DAUGHTER.

The happiest people in the world today are the Dutch. Outwardly theif joy is tempered by the fact that the hopes of the house of Orange depend upon a girl, but this slight disap- pointment has little effect on their inner feelings of patriotic thankful ness. For the time being, at least, Holland is delivered from the talons of Germany's imperial eagles.
 Not in a long time in Europe's his tory has so much depended on what Carlyle has called Nmewling, puking infant It was the ambition of Bis marck to crown his life's work of uniting the Teutonic peoples with tho absorption of the Netherlands. The Dutch are a trading people, not a fighting one, and they could have of- fered little opposition to the Prus- sian legions. Besides. expanding German trade looked with a voracious eye upon the mouth of the Rhine, hungering greatly for that noble out let to the North Sea The only thing which prevented Bismarck from mak- ing Holland his prey long ago was the peculiarities of the iron chancel- ior's character that where he could find no pretext and could invent none he hesi:ated.
 The death of William " without other issue than the delicate girl who ascended the throne in his stead kept alive the hopes of Germany. When consort was sought for her. the kaiser was first to come forward with 3 candidate for the place. Needless to say. Germany exerted all possi- hle pressure to tue Encouragement of other eligibles and the acceptance of her own. The most embryonic of romanccs served as a nucleus for urg- ing the suit of Henry, Prince of Mecklenburg-Schwe for the hand of Hollands maiden queen. A turbu- lent, dissipated yop.n, he was not long in wounding the sensitive nature of Wilhelmina, a circumstance which de- prived the throne of it's first expecta- tions of an heir in 1902. When the same mishap disappointed the Dutch in 1906, it may easily be predicated that the ambitions of Germany were. by the same token, rekindled. With the exhaustion of the house of Orange the accession Of q German prince to the Dutch throne was a cer- tainty. and it's subsequent absorption into German territory merely a ques- tion of time.
 How ineradicably the Dutch loathed this fate, their resentment of it grow ing the more it's inevitableness ap. peared, is apparent when it is under stood that the Dutch hate the Ger mans with hatred unsurpassed by that of the French. although akin to

MOHAki M EDANlSM NOT DORMANT.

The following is an editorial taken from the colu-uns of the Los Angeles News. It directs attention to sub iect of more than ordinary interest now:
 Tt is about time. now, for the third stage of the Turkish massacre stories coming from Turkey in Asia. to be recorded by the newspapers. The first stage consists of conflicting rumors of sundry killings. the second of more or less connected accounts of rioting and burning chargeable to religion-crazed zealots, and the third stage is on the boards when nations like the United States and Great Britain present the bills for indemni- ty. Wic are getting to the indemnity stage quite rapidly, thank you.
 Human nature does not often prompt man to p>t himself in the other mans place. Suppose that some one or ali of the many sects that flourish in the Mohammedan world decided to proselyte on an extensive scale throughout Christendom, and that in pursuit of this plan, missions mosques and colleges were estab- lished throughout the length and breadth of the United States. Sup pose that their missionaries, claiming the protection of all the Mohamme- dan nations, were aggressive, insist ent and showed small respect for the churches now established. In how many places would these Mohamme- dan workers be permitted unmolested to prosecute their propaganda in the United States? How many commun- ities would rise in their wrath and drive them out just as the Mormons were chased from ohio and from Hi nois? Would we show them any more respect than we now show the Holy Rollers? We think that we can answer these questions. Outside of the cities, the Mohammedan mission aries would be promptly told to move on. In the cities they would be ai- lowed to do as they pleased, for in real city one mans business is not everybody's business.
 We are not arguing against for eign missions; whether a church places missionaries in the field is the business of that church. But we be- lieve that the uprisings in Mohamme- dan countries are due to the fac: that missionaries go there: and. we believe that christianity and Monam- mechanism will mix about as well as oil and water-and no better.
 ''The spirit of Islam is strongly implanted. Every true believer says his prayers with his head turned in the direction of Mecca. Every be- liever's life ambition is to make al least one trip to the holy city. This is religious duty and insures a cer- tainty of paradise. To most of us,

Chairman Hoval A. Smith of the re-
publican territorial committee, arrived
in the city yesterday morning. Mr..
Smith was DESTROYS of being present
at the inauguration of Governor Sloan
tomorrow but his household is break
ing up for the summer, and the mem
bers will leave for the east on Satur-
day. He will, therefore, have to leave
for home tonight. AS TO political mat
tiers, Mr. Smith said last night he was
not informed, as he had of late been
giving his attention mainly to his min
ing interests in New Mexico and about
Globe and Bisbee.
DR.. BLOME NAMED-Dr. r. H. H.

sion. DR. Blome has had charge of
the Normal Training school at Tempe
for a long time. and has also taught
several of the professional branches in

GOING TO TExAS-D. R Morris,

weather bureau office in this city for
eight months, until he recently had TO

but will return to his former nome in
Corpus Christi. Texas, for vacation
and rest. He left last evening, accom-
panied by his mother and brother. who

Mr.. Morris has had an extended eX-

having been connected with that SER

shaft will soon break into the vein
which is probably more nearly vertical
than the shaft. Mr.. Denton also re-
ports that there are some indica-
lions of water as the shaft is more
moist than it has been and he believes
the next twenty-five or fifty feet is
likely to bring him to water level. Mr..
Denton says he can ship four cars of
ore in the next fifteen days if the
company puts on teams enough to
haul it, as he has plenty of it avail
able for such shipments. Two cars
have already been shipped and the
third will probably be loaded next
Monday. 1t is believed the ore de-
signed for this third car will grade
higher than either of the two already
shipped, as it is better selected and
taken from the richest yet removed.

ATHLETIC TRACK-The athletes of
the Phoenix high school have now TAX

for some record breaking that will be

cornering on Fifth and Washington

constant work by those who really want
to do things. Marathon and other run

a little opposition in some quarters. as

it will fade away as the people begin
to conceive the benefits that will fol-
low the early building of the road. The
committee believes that within ninety
days the road will be constructed as
far as the'Agua Fria and be pushed
rapidly forward from that point. The
time is very short in which the COM
pany can take advantage of its privi-
leges, and the right of way committee
hopes the people will give this project
careful study and be prepared to act
promptly when they are interviewed
on the subject.
