Chairman BickneIps Resignation.

Through the resignation of MT. M. O.
 Bicknell. chairman of the Arizona
 Railway commission, the territory of
 Arizona loses an exceedingly valuable l official Upon his retirement he will have served just a year. and during | this time he has worked indefatigably , in the public interest He brought to
 the office an intimate and expert i knowledge. of the railroad business; as a traffic expert he has no su- periOrs in the country. This knowl-
 benefit of his employers, the people, | just as he worked with the same 1 loyalty for his former employer, the Southern Pacific company. All men | of affairs, in making choice between applicants for important positions. as- certain first of all whether such ap- plicants wefe at all times loyal to their employers-they fairly estimate that if a man has been loyal in one
  was upon this principle that Governor Kibbey acted when he appointed MT. Bickneu, and the results have more than justified his choice. The same confidence in his integrity, of course,
 prompts the railways to call him to better job. During MT. BickneIl's service on the railway board he and his fellow members have succeeded in securing passenger and freight reduc-
 tions which amount to more than
 million dollars saved to the people of Arizona. This is q remarkable achieve
 ment when it is remembered that the
 railway commission is not clothed
 with any power to fix rates. The re- suits obtained are due to the industry,
 judgment and tact of the commission. and to the fact that the members of the commission had the respect of the railway officials with whom they had to deal.
 Most certainly, M. O. Bicknell has made good" as chairman of the rail- way commission, and while his de-
 parture is a distinct loss to the ter
 ritory, he has abundantly earned the good wishes of all the people, and nobody can justly object to his ac- ceptance of a more lucrative employ
 ment..

Don't Fail to Register.

The registration for the sewer bond election is still ridiculously small. Out of some 1.50O eligible voters, less than 200 have registered. After tomorrow nobody can register, and the fate of the bond question must rest with the men who have taken the trouble to register.
 It is scarcely conceivable that the bonds can be defeated. but it is pos sible Do the people of Phoenix de- sire to lose this opportunity to secure A. modern sewer system? Of course they don't. They merely assume that their neighbors will register and vote and thus relieve them of bother
 The commercial position of Phoenix is rapidly undergoing change. It will soon be the railway center of the whole southwest. A population of 5O,- 900 people within five years is a cer- tainty-if we manifest our willingness to nav the cost of becoming city. The vefy first requisite is an adequate sewer system The defeat of the sewer bonds would be the worst blow the city could receive.
 Take ten minutes to walk to the city hall and register-do it now
Arizona republican., 1910-03-25

Republican pointed out to the mer- chants of Phoenix that very little effort on their part would show that it was possible to secure the Fl Paso x Southwestern. Following that an- nouncement. some correspondence be- tween the Commercial club and Mir. Douglas was had. and since then. as now developed, the Phelps Dodge peo- pie have had under consideration the project of a line into this valley. For all practical purposes the coming of the Fl Paso & Southwestern brings with it the great Rock Island system.
 And while Mir. Douglas, of course, states the exact fact when he says his company does not at this time contemplate reaching the Pacific coast. a logical development of the future will be traffic arrangement between he Fl Paso & Southwestern and the Santa Fe interests which will enable the Fl Paso & Southwestern to run trains into San Francisco or Los An geles.
 In about sixty days more the Ari- zona x California railway will be when Phoenix will have a Santa Fe airline to San Francisco and a short line to Los Angeles.

HypNoTlsM AND WILL POWER.
A Mistake to Think That the Weak Wiiled Arc More Susceptible
 Than Others.

People used to IhInk that persons who could be hypnotized were defl cient in will power. that it was some thing of a stigma on their mental equipment The experts know better now. A writer in the Woman's Home Companion goes so far as to say that the more will power person has the more readily he can be hypnotized-
 Dr. Voisin. French alienist, found that he could not hypnotize more than ten per cent of the inmates of the asy- lum with which he was connected. Whereas an English experimenter named Vincent hypnotized with ease 96 per cent of a large group of uni Yersity men.

Also profoundly interesting is the admission of MT. Walter Douglas that the Fl Paso X Southwestern has at last taken up seriously the question of building into Phoenix. Construction across d gap of scarcely more than zoo miles would bring that road here. By starting from a point south of Fairbank and running northwesterly to the Santa Cruz valley, thence through Tucson and Florence to Phoe- nix, this company could have line from Fl Paso to this city on which there would not be foot of difficult grade Early in September last, The

BROTHERlY SAVE DYNAMITE.
A Philadelphia Patrol Wagon Blown
 Up and Eight Injured.

Philadelphia. March 24.-While re turning from riot call in the north eastern section of the city today a pa trol wagon was badly damaged by dy- namite. which exploded under the ve- hcle. Six policemen. the driver and d sergeant were thrown to the street and badly cut and bruised. It is believed the dynamite was placed on the car track for the purpose of damaging the street car, and the patrol wagon only figured in the explosion accidentally. It was announced that a general meet ing of union men will be held Sunday to consider the advisability of calling off the general strike.

New Railroads for Phoenix.

The news from Washington. covered this morning in. our local columns. to the effect that board of government engineers has reported adversely on the San Carlos reservoir site, will and the Salt River valley. It means that the secretary of the interior, if he follows the findings of the engi- meers. will approve the application of the Arizona Eastern railway for a right of way through the Gila canyon.
 What it will mean to this commit nity to have the construction of the Arizona Eastern assured, is pretty generally appreciated If the railway is enabled to build through this can- yon. Phoenix, Tempe and Mesa will shortly he on. a Southern Pacific transcontinental line From Yuma to Lordsburg there will be a new and level line-so that from Deming, be- yond Lordsburg, to Yuma. there will be d railroad having no gradient greater than one-half of one per cent. as against many two per cent grades on the present line of the Southern Pacific. In the railway world. if not among people generally. the GiIa can yon route is now conceded to be the most attractive for transcontinental traffic in all North America. This canyon offers the best pass through the Rocky Mountain range that ex- ists anywhere between British Co., lumbia and Central America. It is really inexplicable that railway build CTS were so slow to grasp the inn pOTtance of this pass.
 To be sure, MT Murphy many years ago recognized it as of supreme value for transcontinentaI traffic; and so did Col. Randolph. And after Col. Randolph-as was hIs duty to his chief-had pointed out to Mir Harri- man the incomparable value of the Gila canyon pass for transcontinental business as well as for strategic pur- poses in protecting Southern Pacific territory, MT. Hartman did not stop until he had wrested from the Santa Fe interests the Phoenix & Eastern, which Mir. Murphy was building to- ward the canyon. In order to get into position to carry out this coup, MT Hartman had invested so many millions in Santa Fe shares that he was able to force the Santa Fe di- IttApIS lp ItliHluiSii tIlc I HotlliA 6 Eastern to him. And now that the Southern Pacific influence has been cleminated from the Santa Fe direc- torate, it is no secret that the Santa Fe people deeply regret that they lost the Phoenix & Eastern, and with it the best of all transcontinental routes.
 Not only will we gain transcon- tinental line by the construction of the Arizona Eastern through the Gila canyon. but a line from the Salt River valley to Denver, under Southern Pa cific-Union Pacific control. For, as soon as this right of way controversy is settled in favor of the railway company. the construction of the pro- posed line from Globe to Pennington and Durango will begin. Incidentally. this line will bring central Arizona into direct communication with the greatest and best coal fields in all the west-thus assuring cheap fuel for the people of the territory.
