Washington Letter.

Washington, Dec. 1.-THE Hum
phrey shipsubsidy bill, which pro-
vides for an annual gift of $5,000,-
900 from the treasury of the United
States to millionaire ship owners, is
to be damned through this session
of Congress at the special request of
President Taft.
Ship subsidies are about as I'M
popular with the country generally
as tariff revision upward. Yet the
republicans appear to be unafraid to
place this additional class legisla-
ton upon the statute books.
The standpat republicans who
were defeated for reelection have
nothing else to lose through voting
for shipsubsidy The standpat re-
publicans who were reelected will
vote for it to be consistent with past
performances. Besides, republicans
voting against measures recommend
ed by President Taft lay themselves
open to the charge of traitor, for
which hanging is too good for
them,' and in addition thereto may
have their patronage taken away
from them.
The vote on the shipsubsidy bill
will be close. Several progressive
republicans will refuse to support
the measure, the Presidents recon-
mendation and implied threat not
withstanding.
The best that can be said for a
shipping subsidy is that it provides
for the payment of public moneys
directly to big private interests on
the assumption that the maritime
commerce of the United States
will increase and that the public
will then be able to get the dona-
tions back Indirectly. But past ex-
periments have proven that once the
special interests get hold of the peo-
pies money, the people have their
own trouble getting it back, either
directly or Indirectly.
Although it is not generally
known, Uncle Sam now subsidies a
few mail steamship lines. Our
heaviest subsidized line is between
New York and England. If it is
true, as subsidists assert, that trade
follows subsidies, why is it that our
exports to the United Kingdom lin
the ten years between 1897 and
1907 increased but rs per cent, while
our exports to nine countries to
which we have no subsidized lines
Increased from los to 1900 per cent?
Our exports to the United King
dom and countries to which We have
no subsidized lines, increased as fol-
lows between 1897 and 1907:
United Kingdom, rs per cent;
Turkey, 1900 per cent; Austria
Hungary, PTS per cent; Egypt, 200
per cent; Germany, los per cent;
Italy, 181 per cent; Canada, 1S1
per cent, Japan, 1876 per cent.
Two Unpopular Appointments.
The appointment of Judge Robert
w. Archibald of Pennsylvania court
OF commerce is satisfactory-to Big
Interests, particularly. ...,.
Archibald, although the president
may not have known it, was once
upon a time the subject of a scath-
ing arraignment in decision of the
Pennsylvania Supreme Court, when
an enterprise 1oated by him was
denounced as a fraud upon the
public and q disregard Of the re-
Quirements of business honesty

THERE'S NO RISK,
If This Medicine Does Not Benefit
You Pay Nothing.

A physician who made speciality
of stomach troubles, particularly
dyspepsia, after years of study per-
fected the formula from which
Rexall Dyspepsia Tablets are made.
Our experience with Rexall Dys-
pepsia Tablets leads us to believe
them to be the greatest remedy
known for the relief of acute in
digestion and chronic dyspepsia.
Their ingredients are soothing and
healing to the inflamed membranes
of the stomach. They are rich in
pepsin, one of the greatest digestive
aids known to medicine. The re-
lief they afford is almost immediate.
Their use with persistency and
regularity for short time brings
about cessation of the pains
caused by stomach disorders.
Rexall Dyspepsia Tablets will
insure healthy appetite, aid diges-
ton and promote nutrition. AS
evidence of our sincere faith in
Rexall Dyspepsia Tablets, we ask
you to try them at our risk. If
they do not give you entire satis-
faction, We will return you the
money you paid us for them, with
out question or Formally. They
come in three sizes, prices rs cents,
SO cents and $500. Remember
you can obtain them only at-The
Rexall Store. Bell & Robinson.

Triekina q Game Warden.

When a game warden bought seven
pounds Of meat and paid a dollar
pound for it he thought he was get
ting some pretty convincing evidence
against a man in Herkimer county
whom he supposed to be chronic
violator Of the game law. The pro-
tector found this particular piece OF
meat in an icehouse one hot August
day, and he spotted it for venison.
"WMt will you take for that chunk
Of meat?" he asked the owner.
"That's tender piece of meat" re-
piled the woodsman, with a wink at
the stranger, land meat is dear way
back up here. wouldn't part with 1t
for less n a dollar pound"
"Well, give me pound"
Nope; couldn't do that. 1t would
spile the piece for cookin' to do that"
The game warden had to take the
whole thing, and he paid 81 for it, sat
fsfied that he had caught one of the
worst game law violators in the Adj
rondacks. Down to Albany he sent
the meat for the forest, fish and game
commission to analyze to prove it ven
ison. But it wasn't 1t was veal.
The backwoodsmen tell the story as
one Of the best jokes ever played on
game protector.-New York Tribune.

A Remarkable Escape.


During the reign Of terror In Paris
one Of the most remarkable escapes
was that Of NJ. dc Chateaubrun. He
was sent to execution with twenty
other prisoners. but after the fifteenth
head had fallen the guillotine got out
Of order ard Il workman was sent for
to repair 1t. The six remaining vic
tins were left standing in front of the
machines with their hands tied behind
them. A French crowd is very Gu.
rious. and the people kept pressing
forward to see the man arranging the
guillotine BY degrees NJ. de Chateau
brun, who was to the rear Of his COM
panions, found himself in the front
line Of the spectators, then in the Sec
ond and finally we'll behind those who
had come to see his head cut off. Be-
fore the men could get the guillotine
in working order night began to fall,
and NJ. de Chateaubrun slipped away.
When in the Champs Elysees he told
a man that a wag had tied his hands
and robbed him of his hat, and this
simple individual set him free. A few
days later NJ. de Chateaubrun escaped
from France.

Columns Of St, Mark.

Two memorable granite columns,
known as the columns of st. Mark,
brought from the Holy Land in 112O
and standing in front Of the quay and
landing steps Of the Piazzeta, have
been associated with the fortunes of
Venice for many years. At first they
lay PROSTATE for long time, while
no one would undertake to raise them.
But a reward offered by the doge at
length induced one Nicolo Barratiero
CNick the Blackleg) to offer his serv-
ices. He succeeded and claimed as
bis reward the privilege of carrying
on between the columns games of
chance, elsewhere prohibited by law.
To neutralize this as much as possible
it was enacted that all public execu-
lions should take place on the same
spot. One column is surmounted by
the Lion Of St. Mark. The other car
ries fine figure Of st. Theodore, the
patron saint of the city, who stands
upon n crocodile and with sword and
buckler gives token that the motto Of
Venice is Defense, Not Defiance"

Due Precautions.

In town in Georgia there was an
old preacher whose knowledge Of the
world was not wide nor deep, but who
conceived it to be place where, if
one should trust bis fellow men, he
should at the same time keep an eye
on his own interests.
One hot day he pulled off his coat
and preached vigorous sermon under
the pines in his shirt sleeves. At the
close of the open air service one OF
his admirers approached him and said
regretfully:
81 don't suppose you knew that the
editor of one of the big New York
Sunday papers was here when you
pulled off your coat
81 reckon l knew it well. for I'd been
told of it." said the preacher calmly
81 don't believe he's as bad as he
might be. and anyway put my coat
on the chair close by and had it right
under my eye all the time."-Youth's

IN PAlMY DAYS
 OF OLD FINAL
When the Silver King Was in Its
 Prime.

Matt Cavaness, who is now a resi- dent of Wickenburg, has been Mesa visitor for the past few days. and dur ing that time he has been able to re- new the acquaintance of a number of the older residents of this place, for it is Matte Cavaness who probably en- joys the distinction of handling more ore of greater value, personally. than any other individual in the territory today. In 1876 MT. Cavaness signed contract with the Silver King Min ing company to haul the ore from the mine to Pinal where the mill was located, a distance of five miles. The contract first called for fifty tons daily and later this was increased to 100 tons per day The story was told on the streets yesterday by one of the friends of the old-time freighter that Cavaness was seen of times to take up silver nuggets worth several dollars a piece and throw them at the lead team of mules to make them increase their snail-like gait
 The first load of ore. aggregating about forty tons, was hauled to Yuma and thence by boat to Frisco to the shelter Several weeks were neces- sarily consumed in making one trip. and the second load was also directed to go to Yuma, but before that town was reached a messenger bearing a telegram met Cavaness and bis par ty and advised them that a boat was sunk in the river at Yuma and for them to proceed with all haste to San Diego. A good many obstacles were

 IN PLATFORM SOCia|iStiC and Democratic Declaration of Principles ALL ID THE SAME END
James c. Goodwin Fears That Socialism In Ari-
 zona Will Sometime Fri
 umph But He Would Like to Put Off the Evil Day

Do I believe in the Initiative and referendum and recall? I can not say l do at the present time.
 These three provisions that the democrats of Arizona are so anxious to put into the constitution are popu- listic and socialistic. These principles have been declared by these two par ties for years, and few people under stand or know how far reaching is the effect or meaning of these pro- visions
 In the first place. the socialists have declared in their platforms in this territory that the constitution of the state shall be considered as a mandate to the legislature and as a guide for the people. and no court. judge or other official shall have the right to set aside any law or legal provision enacted by the people. They also say that new laws may be refer red to the people or any law or measure by the legislature may be referred to the people upon a general vote.
 If you will examine the socialist platform you will find every plank or provision in their platform that is in the democratic platform today
 The socialists, then, interpret the initiative and referendum as laws made by the people, quoting that all governments derive their just power from the consent of the governed; that when any law is referred to the people, the people being supreme, the laws that are enacted by them under the initiative and referendum are su- preme and repeal any part of the constitution, because the people made the constitution and therefore no judge has a right to pass upon any law made by the people and declare it unconstitutional

QUARTERLY CONFERENCE
 OF MAR|COPA STAKE
Two Interesting Sessions Were Held on
 Sunday.

The regular quarterly conference of the Maricopa stake was concluded Sunday evening with a reception ten dered D. A. LeBaron, who left yester- day on a mission to the central states.
