and giving employment to far more citizens than are employed by the capital invested in the fleet.
 Rabbi Pereira Mendes. one of the best known Hebrews in New York. Is a leader in the peace movement. In letter published in the New York newspapers he wrote: What is true greatnessg The whole country is ring ing with the echoes of the guns of the great American fleet which has concluded its great world cruise for the great purpose of impressing our greatness upon all nations, great and small How great it all Is and how great is the civilization which toler. ates. requires and slp9lauds such great ness, After all. it means the rule of brute force. It is denial of peace on earth; refutation to good will to all men. It sIars Christianity in the face. It insults Judaism. The ques- ton Is asked, Is this Q Christian oountry?' We have only to Roint to the American fleet. etc, to find an answer. r this is Christianity. what sane Hebrew wants it? We believe it is ridiculous, un-Christian. m, Jewish, unmanly. to profess a relt g,on of love of God and trust in Him and fellow it with hate of man and distrist in him."
 Although many good citizens will chafe and fret under the stinging crit icism of the great rabbi. wisdom part is to consider his words seri ously, and if there is really existing in our civilization a condition which reduces to absurdity the claims ci the millions of citizens who profess the Christian religion it is time tC be up and doing, instead of sitting snllliug at the outspoken rabbi, says the Los Angeles Herald.
 But what would he substitute fol armies and navies? He represents the most practical of all races. and therefore is ready with suggestions Dr. Mendes presents three, which arC as follows: "L A supreme interna tional court of arbitration to which all international disputes, not may but MUST, be taken 2. The civil ized nations to bind themselves tC BOYCOTT commercially, socially ana in every way any nation that does not bow to the decision Of that court 8.

THE PotIcY
OF EKTRAVAGANcE

When congress last year on the heels ot the panic passed apDropria- ton bills authorizing expenditures ez- ceediug Si0oo.o0o.Coo, Chairman Tavney of the Committee on Appro- p-iations gave warning that it was doubling the de'ciit. By July 1. 1908 the deficit for the year just ended was s6o,Oo0,O0o March l, last for the first eight months of the present fiscal year, the deficit was over SSG.- 0oO.00o. At the present rate it will reach $l3O,o0O.OOO by July l. Yet congress has again increased aIqro- priadons, making the total s1,ollOe0,. 900. or s35.OOo,ooO more than for the present year.
 The Spanish war year deficit was sS.9oo,o0O, only a triGe more than the last eight months show. That was the largest deficit in twenty years. The next largest was 269. .soS.G .G0o for 1894, following the '9S panic. Only in civil-war time has the Roosevelt rec ord been beaten: In 1862 there was an excess Of expenditure of s226.O0o, 900. in 1869. oI ss0C.oo0,oo i n 1864 of ss2l.Ooo.e0o and in 1865 of sg73.. 100000.

The money has already been appropriated, but no one knows whether it win be raised from new taxes or from the sale of bonds.

Aid rich. Cannon and Payne have proved capable of performing.
 One excellent method of relief sog the Government. however. has been suggested by Mir. Taft in his inaug ural address-for those responsible for the expenditure made to carry on the Government to be as econom teal as possible and to make the bur den of taxation as light as possible ? After recent experience this is 50 novel a doctrine as to be a violent departure. Public economy ia one of the few virtues not preached ct

 EDUCATIONAL BILL.

When the twenty-afth legislature shall have adjourned. which will come to pass during the week, one law will be placed upon the statute books which will meet with the approval of all admirers "l a pure ballot--a ballot which win insure an honest ex- pression of opinion. free from undue influence, often in the shape of filthy lucre Of the realm.
 In the past the ignorant voter has, Co a large extent, been the balance of power in politics. This condition of affairs has been noticeable in those counties where a foreign voting popu- laton has been massed. Ward heelers- with or without a pull" have bied both political parties during the cam paign period for a delivery of votes. For example. take the last campaign ia Pima county. Thousands of dol lars were spent by both parties in an effort to control a few hundred votes and a majority of the voters sought to be controlled had about as much interest in the candidates running for office. or the questions at issue, az the man in the moon. On account of 1 this ignorant vote, In some counties the ballot has been prostituted. The buying of ignorant votes. or the pay ing of enormous sums to supposed leaders among the ignorant voters has come to an end in Arizona Let the result be what 1t may. the word has gone forth that the Arizona ballo; Is an intelligent expression of major, ity sentiment. With this result neith, CT democrats or republicans have cause to complain.
 IL is said that this law will reduce the vote of Arizona several thousand Apache and Pima counties are the two counties where this law will be far reaching in its effects. Those who claim to know, say that in Tucson alone some four hundred erstwhile voters will be deprived of the ballot while in Phoenix it will reach about 250, l. Is only fair to say that those who, under the Hampton bill, will be barred from the ballot, win not all be foreigners. In Apache county the total vote is six hundred. Counted among this number are about 25J ] Mormous, 300 Nfexicans and a sprink ling Of other classes. According tc | Councilman Day Of thag county, tho ! vote wiH be reduced fully 15 per cent { by the operation Of ibis law. The republican party of Apache county is ! principally composed of AIexicans l hence this law win without a doubt turn the county over to the demo | crat5. In other counties. however, il will to some extent eHect the demo | cratic vote. But be this as it may il

cocHiSE COUNTY DIVISION

A report came from Phoenix on Saturday to the effect that it was proposed by some member Of the legislature to introduce bill for the division ot Cochise county. While 1t is not likely that anyone would se- riously consider such proposition without first consulting the people of Cochise iounty, still the report Is sufficient justification for submitting a few remarks regarding the division of the county.
 There is no reason existing for the division of the county unless it would be for the purpose of doing away with the inconvenience and expense /of reaching the present county seat. To our mind this reason is not susi- cient cause for division.
 Cochise county is today the largest and most prosperous in the territory. Within it's bounds there are no con fictiug interests or industries. Its wealth consists mostly of mines and stock. To divide the county would be to increase the tax rate which is now the lowest to be found in tbe terri tory; to divide the county would mean to divide the ipfuence of Cochise county in the ls4isIaturc, by having two small delegations in the lower house, instead Of one large one when there shall be an equitable apporuion- ment Of the members of the Iegisia- lure either or the territory or the state of Arizona. This equitable appOrionment will come with state hood and when it comes Cochise county, if left as it is today will have at least ohefourth of the mem bers of the territorial or state legis- lature. Here is an advantage that must not be overlooked, as it will mean much for the future
 So far as the people Of cochise county are concerned there has been no discussion or agitation of the ques. ton Of county division and we do not believe that it would be approved by any considerable number of our cit Izens in any section of the county.
 It is to be regretted that the law providing for the removal Of the county seat was not amended so il would be possible for the people oi COchise county to remove the county seat whenever they should desire to do 50. but to our mind this failure to provide just law does not jus tify a proposition to divide the county which would benefit DO one.

PEACE

As a sequel to the glorious cruise and triumphant welcome home of the American fleet the Hebrews Of the eastern United States have started Q great peace movement. Inasmuch
 as the Hebrew bankers of the world have financed many Of the greater wars of modern times, we believe the movement is most significant
 We shall not question the motive, al though we know many citizens may ascribe it to thrift; to natural desire on the' part of the Hebrews, who are noted for canniness. to stop what they apparently consider to bo most de- pIorable and extraFagant waste Of money which. according Co their no tions. if invested profitably could be earning handsome returns or interest

RUMoR SURPRISES CASTRO.
Late Venezuelan Ruler Says He Never
Planned Gomez Death.

Dresden, March l.-Cipriano Castro,
late president of Venezuela, today au-
thorized the publication of a declara-
tion of his innocence of the charge that
he had conspired to bring about the
assassination of Juan Vicente Gomez,
the present president of the republic.
1T is incredible" says he, THAT
after having shown my interest in him
in SO many ways should try to cause
him to be murdered. If Gomez had
given me occasion to suspect him,
would have given orders regarding him
before my departure from Venezuela,
and | would not have been so stupid as
to send such an order by cable.
1.-The shameless individual who in
stigated this conspiracy against me
will have to proceed to the utmost ex-
tremes in order to justify himself, for
he is aware that as soon as the matter
is understood the Venezuelan people
will not tolerate such perfidity."

JAPAN FUSS ENDS.
Good Humor Returns to Brown Men
of Island Empire.

0ooQ numor returns 10 Brown men
of Island Empire.
Toxic, March During the recent
discussion in Japan of the attitude of
certain persons in California in regard
to the Japanese residents it appears
that one of the difficulties faced by the
Japanese newspapers was that their
correspondents at the various points
lacked an appreciation of conditions in
America, as well as capacity to analyze
the feelings of the people or the stand
ing of those who espoused particular
action.
AS a result only the most sensational
publications appearing in the newspa-
pers in America as rule reached the
newspapers in Japan, the result being
that from the outset there was almost
an entire Misunderstanding as to the
real situation.
Later, as the position of the leading
people of California developed through
the more reliable press dispatches, q
better feeling begin to prevail, anc
now this controversy has almost en-.
tirely ceased. In fact many of the
newspapers say that much good ha:
come out of the evil, inasmuch as the
discussion brought out even greater
degree of friendship on the part o.
America toward Japan than was a
first believed to exist.

Taft Selects MaCVeagh, OF Chi.
CagO, for Treasury Portfolio.
HEPBURN TO Be SECOND choice
President Elect Delays Announcement
Inaugural Address Finished
and Pronounced Good.

New York, Feb. 25.-President Elect
Taft completed his cabinet today with
the offer of the treasury portfolio and
its acceptance. That the offer was
made to and accepted by Franklin Mac
Veagh, of Chicago, is as near a posi-
tive statement of what is believed to
be the fact as may be made in the face
of an absolute refusal of Mr.. Taft to
throw any light on the situation.
Mr.. Taft justified his silence on the
ground that he declared some time ago
that he would give out no information
regarding the makeup of his cabinet
until he was ready to announce it in
its entirety.
In spite of strong belief that Mr..
MacVeagh had accepted the portfolio,
it was reported that the name of A. B.
Hepburn, of New York, ex-controllel
of the currency, had figured largely ir
the conference on the subject. 1t is
assumed that, should anything elimi
nate Mr.. MacVeagh from the list, Mr.
Hepburn would be selected.
Mr.. Taft's request brought Frank H
Hitchcock from Washington early to
day, and the two were in lengthy con
ference twice.
James H. Sheffield, president of th'
Yale alumni of this city, received Mr.
Taft's promise to come here and ad
dress the association on March 2S.
The inaugural address of Mr.. Taf
received its final revision today. TIL
document is a declaration of the poll
cies which the new administration vii
endeavor to carry out.
The address contains, approximately
5000 words, and will occupy littl
short of an hour in its delivery. Th
address has been submitted not only
the men who have accepted places
the Taft cabinet, and in each case re
ceived their hearty approval, but MI
Taft also has read the paper to MI
Roosevelt and others of his persona
, friends and advisers. 1t is pronounce
, a strong state paper.

BARS GAMES OF CHANCE.
Nevada Lower House Passes Very
Stringent Measure.

Carson, New, Feb. 25.-The anti
gambling bill passed the assembly to-
day by vote of 81 to 20. At the con-
clusion of the vote, and before it had
been announced, Dodge of Washoe and
Raycroft of Ormsby changed their
votes in order to give notice of recon-
sideration. This made the final vote
20 to Is When the bill was called the
lobby, hall and chambers were crowded
to their capacity.
The bill as passed carried the amend
ment offered by the majority of the
public morals committee, which ex-
tends the time when it shall become
operative from September, 1909, to
January of the coming year.
Section provides that it shall "be
unlawful for any person to conduct,
play, deal, or carry on in any capacity
any game of chance such as faro, rou-
lette, rondo, poker, klondike or any
percentage game or banking game car
ried on with cards, checks, device or
otherwise; also slot machines where
money is involved"
Violation is punishable by fine of
not to exceed $1,000 or by imprison-
ment not to exceed one year, or both.
Section 2 prevents owners of houses
from renting for the purposes of gamb-
ling, and affixes fine. Any person
who is declared common gambler and
cannot show any fixed residence, OF
any person who engages in gambling
is subject to fine and Imprisonment.
Section gives the sheriff the right
forcibly to enter places and arrest per-
sons engaged in gambling, and provides
for the destruction of gambling devices
when found.
The bill now goes to the senate.

STATEHOOD sLockec.
Senate Committee Terminates Labor
on Hearing of Corruption.

on Hearing of Corruption.
Washington, March l.-Arizona and
New Mexico's hope for statehood at
the present session of congress went
glimmering today in a sensational
manner when the members Of the SEN
ate committee that had the bill under
discussion rose one by one and left
their places without arranging for any
future meeting, after the most sensa-
tional charges of political corruption
in New Mexico had been made.
This action occurred at the conclu-
sion of the reading of reports prepared
by Beveridge and Nelson, in. which it
was stated that gang had charge of
New Mexico's interior affairs, and that
corruption, jury bribing and many 9TH
er offenses were the rule and not the
exception.
Among the statements mode was a
telegram from j. ]. Hagerman, former
governor of New Mexico, rejecting
upon the character of the people who
are in control of politics in that terri
tory, and declaring that these men ex-
pect to continue their control after the
territory becomes state. He refers
to them as 'freebooters," and says
that so per cent Of the voters are Mex
leans, and one-half of that number are
illiterate and ignorant, and easily could
be governed by the "gang" to which
he referred. He suggested that il
would be well to wait until after the
next census before admitting New
Mexico to statehood.
