Accomplishments and those moral
forces which adorned the characters
Of our great commanders. What IS
mere briliancy for enduring fame.
Who would place Marlborough be-
sides the men whose names we cher
ish?
Freedom from self-aggarndizement
is an attribute OF great souls, While
their patriotism did not permit them
to decline great Offices, yet neither
Washington. Lee nor Grant sought
preferment. They would lay down
rather than voluntarily take up new
honors. and nothing more became
them than their unaffected modesty
General Lee rendered his resignation
to Mr.. Davis, saying that he should
be succeeded by a younger and ADLER
man.
Integrity irreproachable. as pure
as the icicle that hangs from Diana's
temple" has been the unchaiienged
and unehallengeable possession of
cur great generals. There seems-I
trust that it is but a semblance-to
be a breaking down in many direc-
tions OF the high standards Of per
sonal honesty. I do not believe that
any class of our citizens has more
generally and consistently kept their
honor unimpeached than the officers
OF our army and navy. Yet in these
DAYS when all mems motives are
questioned. things without intrinsic
wrong must be summed II they fur
nish room for evil Interpretation
While this state of the public mind
is an eruption Of our times, neither it
nor the safeguards are new in human
affairs.
mo man is so great or so good in
republic that he can be permitted
to govern outside of the law and the
constitution. No public good. how
ever attractive, is worth gaining at
the price OF setting aside a funda-
mental principle OF government This
is substituting a government OF mon
for a government of law. and this Is
the beginning of the end Of the re-
public.
Il exhort you to keep ever in your
mind as examples the noble men who
have preceded you. and that you will
maintain IN your time the imDerish-
able renown which they achieved for
their country"

COMBINED FAVORED

TUCSON. June 15.--With reference
to the report circulated that the city
and county administrations may be
combined by application to the next
legislature. the assessors Office
thinks that the hope is rather for
lorn. However. a combined building
is considered most feasible
It has been publicly asserted by
some backing the project that 80 per
cent of the taxible wealth of Pima
county is In Tucson The assessors
Office states that this estimate is a
mistake. as Tucson has only about so
per cent. OF the taxable wealth Of the
county. The outside territory Is also
increasing in value more rapidly than

BIG cA1TLE INDUSTRY

DOUGLAS, June -tSpeciaL)-
The extent Of the cattle industry OF
this section can be judged from the
purchases and shipments made by
one concern alone. Last Sunday an
other shipment left Douglas for the
East, shipped by r. B. Erickson of
Latham. Kan, and John Degan of
Pueblo. Col. These two cattlemen
have probably made the largest ship
ments OF any individuals.
On Saturday statement of their
shipments was obtained from Mr..
Erickson and Mr. Dengan This
statement includes the shipment Of
Sunday. They say that they have
bought and shipped from this part OF
Arizona and from sonora tributary
70 here over $4,000 head OF cattle. OF
these $500 went to the Kansas
ranges and $500 to Colorado. The
magnitude OF the cattle interest IS
apt to be lost sight of, but it IS
highly important to Douglas.

MUNICIPAL OWNERSHIP |B|G
SUCCESS FROM THE BEGINNING

DOUGLAS, June Especial -
The first month OF municipal own
ership of the Douglas Water plant
was completed with the moata Of
May and the report of the water com
mission presented to the council at
its special meeting last night is q
demonstration of success and a great
er success at the very outset than
even the most enthusiastic advocates
OF municipal ownership had ever
prophesied even in their most san
guine moments. At the very start
the water system is not only self
sustaining, but shows a handsome
profit and has demonstrated that in
the very near future substantial re-
ductions can be made in the price
for which water can be furnished to
the consumer andlthe taxpayers still
find municipal ownership a profitable
undertaking.
The report Of the water commits
sion for the first month shows a net
profit of s14s3.0T and this is after de
Quoting all OF the expenses and set
ling aside sums for the interest on

fund and for the depreciation fund.

be said In behalf Of the magazines is
another question.
l agree that the question is one OF
fact, but I insist that II the fact is
as the experts Of the postofiice depart
ment show, that we are furnishing to
the owners of magazines a service
worth millions more than they pay for
it, then justice requires that the rate
should be increased. The increase in
the receipts of the department result
ing from this change may be devoted
to increasing the usefulness Of the de-
partment in establishing parcels post
and in reducing the cost of first class
postage to cent.
It has been said by the postmaster
general that a fair adjustment might
be made under which the advertising
part Of the magazine should be charged
for at a different and higher rate from
that Of the reading matter. This would
relieve many useful magazines that are
not circulated at a profit and would
not shut them out from the use Of the
mails by prohibitory rate.
Parcels Post.
With respect to the parcels post l
respectfully recommend its adoption
on all rural delivery routes and that
eleven pounds, the international limit,
be made the limit of carriage in such
post The same argument is made
against the parcels post that was made
against the postal savings bank-that
1t is introducing the government into
business which ought to be conduct
ed by private persons and is paternal
ism.
The postoffice department has great
plant and a great organization, reach
ing into the most remote hamlet of the
United States, and with this machinery
| it is able to do great many things
economically that If new organize
ton were necessary it would be Inn
possible to do without extravagant ex
penditure. That is the reason why the
postal savings bank can be carried OF
at a small additional cost and why i
is possible to incorporate at a very
inconsiderable expense a parcels pos

POSTOFFICE Department.
Postal Savings Banks-Question Of
Defcit-Frankine Abuses.

At its last session congress made pro-
vision for the establishment of savings
banks by the postof1ce department Of
this government, by which, under the
general control of trustees consisting
Of the postmaster general, the secre-
tary of the treasury and the attorney
general, the system could be begun in
a few cities and towns and enlarged to
cover within its operations as many
cities and towns and as large part OF
the country as seemed wise.
The initiation and establishment of
such a system have required a great
deal of study on the part of the experts
in the postofice and treasury depart
ments, but system has now been de-
vised which is believed to be more
economical and simpler in its operation
than any similar system abroad. Ar
rangements have been perfected SO
that savings banks will be opened in
some cities and towns on the LIST of
January. and there will be a gradual
extension of the benefits of the plan
to the rest Of the country.

house, having been favorably reported

One of the difficulties In the interior

been the delays attendant upon the

patents Of public lands to individuals.
1 am glad to say that under the recent
appropriations of the congress and the
earnest efforts of the secretary and his
subordinates these arrears have been
disposed Of and the work of the de-
partment has been brought more near
ly up to date in respect to the pending
business than ever before in its his

where possible without legislative as
