being ushered into the dining-room.
From the centre OF the ceiling was draped

ribbons led from the place cards to q
white fluffy centre piece, where were bum

One Bankers Opinion

The chicago Tribune, in the CONNER
cial and Financial" section, of August II,
quotes opinions from dozen or more
Western bankers on the financial condi-
ton of the country w. p Manley, presi-
dent of the Security National Bank, Sioux
City, says, among other things:
The statement that farmers generally
have purchased automobiles upon Dor
rowed money is not true. Many have pur-
chased them for cash and are able to own
them Now and then a farmer may Dor
row money for this purpose, but the few
loans which have come under my observa-
ton have been made in anticipation Of
funds shortly available. | am aware that
the automobile industry has taken large
amount of money out of this and adjoin-
ing states, but not enough to justify scare
headlines. The liquor business takes
many times the amount and yet we take
that as matter of course and it causes
no alarm.

producing qualities of lager beer In their advertising
pagns the leading breweres Of the country have been giving
special attention to this phase Of beer drinking They have
spent good money and exercised much talent in effort
to educate the people in belief that liberal consumption
of beer nsures good health They have been able to
command the services of the editorial columns of Of

tlon And steps forward DR.. Evans in health bulletin
issued especially for the guidance of the 100000 visitors

Lake Michigan water better life preserver than either

Dont be afraid to drink Lake Michigan water It is
and free from danger provided it not mixed with
whisky. Beware Of the mixture. Beer as a hot weather

The Unwisdom- of a Colonel.

Most or the space Tn the Florence abuse of The Republican for pointing out the desirability of an investiga- tion of the merits of the Gila Canyon right of way constroversy by a con- mission to be designated by the sec retary of the interior. Inasmuch as competent and honest commission could come to Arizona and ascertain all the pertinent facts within thirty days. what is the Tribune's objection to the proposal? It is not afraid. is it. to have Secretary Bailinger re- liably informed on every feature of if there were to be no commission, and if the secretary had to make a decision on the case as made up in the department, and that decision should be adverse to the reservoir ap- plication. the Tribune would then re- gret its opposition to the proposal of a thorough investigation beforehand. would it not?
 We sometimes have occasion to suspect that the best friends the peo- pie of Pinal county have are here in Phoenix, rather than among the writers for the Tribune-from the standpoint of common sense. we mean. of course. for we do not doubt Col Weedin's sincere desire to make his Tribune a force for the good of his neighbors The coloners hot t-headed abuse of everybody that does not ac- cept his views has already done in- finite harm to Pinal county. When. for instance, the reclamation service decided to start it's first work at Roosevelt instead of some point on the Gila river. Col Weedin drew. Co., piously on his vocabulary of bad names and applied all of them to the officers of the reclamation service. His mildest description of them was "grafters" and thieves" as we re- member And since reclamation of ficials are only human. we cannot undertake to say how much prejudice they found themselves entertaining against the community which Col

Straight Steering By Mr. Taft.

It is safe to say that nobody in the United States regretted more than President Taft did the necessity-as it appeared to him-of dismissing Forester Pinchot from office. The only people who were altogether pleased were the people who have been consistently and tooth and nail opposed to the conservation policy. The newspapers representing this ele- ment have left no room for doubt there has been a grand chorus Of chortling glee at the disappearance of Mir Pinchot from office.
 But MT. Taft has made it clear that he does not share the cheerful ness of the enemies of conservation. The new forester and his assistant are pronounced. opponents of the Pin chot principles-and these principles have MT. Tafts' sincere support We are confident that the country will be thoroughly assured on this point when it reads the presidents special mes- sage on conservation. which will be sent to congress within a day or two.
 MT Taft may make political mis- takes, as related to his own popular ity for the time being, but ever since he became president he has steered a straight course in support of the poli- cies to which he pledged himself be- fore he was elected, and after he was elected He is proving himself not only a safe" president, but steady. self reliant and resolute president, with the clear vision of a sound statesman. His hand on the steering gear is the hand of conscientious. patriotic man. and as the country comes to a fuller realization of this fact it will be more and more dis posed to overlook any mistakes of judgment which may have helped to bring about the Pinchot difficulty.

 The only party that is not at a high nervous tension is the Irish party. They have the definite prom ise> of home rule from Premier As- quith if he wins. and if the unionists win the Irish hope it will be by such slender majority that Ireland will hold the balance of power.

John Bull at the Polls.

The most exciting political cam paign in the history of England closed yesterday A few scattering boroughs will hold elections today. and on Sat urday a large number-probably 50 per cent of the whole number-will vote for candidates for parliament Elections in sundry boroughs will be held on succeedings days for two will be near before .the> whole United Kingdom has been heard from at the polls. It is probable. however. that Saturdays elections will forecast the final result. and in that case our readers will know next Sunday morn- ing whether there has been slump in dukes" as predicted by Chancellor Lloyd George. or victory by the dukes and a verdict in favor of revolution in British fiscal policy.
 Of course. a liberal victory will not. for it cannot, mean abolition of the house of lords The lords cannot be abolished without their consent. But if the election goes decisively for the liberal party the prestige of the house of commons will be greatly increased. and it will be a long time before the lords will venture again to reject a budget. or any scheme of taxation adopted by the commons. The prac- tical result of a liberal triumph. how ever small the majority may be. will be the enactment of Lloyd Georges bills to reform taxation-placing the burden of taxation on unimpr6ved land, on incomes. and on wealth gen. orally.
 unionist victory will result in not only the rejection by the new parlia- ment of the Lloyd-George reforms, the return of Balfour- and Chamber lain to power and the adoption of the principle of protection by free trade England" Not only that. but if MT Balfour's campaign speeches are not to be treated as buncOmbe, his vic tory will mean a stiffening of Eng lands attitude toward Germany-a war between the two countries will be a possibility of the near future. It is no secret that many English states men. MT Balfour among them. be- lieve that a conflict between the two countries is bound to come as soon as Germany's naval strength will war rant Emperor William in taking the aggressive, and these statesmen be- lieve 1t would be wise for England to strike while the balance of power is i'm her favor.
 Guesses on the outcome of the cleo tions have shifted back and forth fin curious way in London. since the campaign began. At first, the bet ting was two to one in favor of the liberals; then for awhile the odds were even. and the last few days the odds have been in favor of the union ists. All are agreed however. that the liberals cannot hope to return
