VIII MIR. Taft Obey2

On the 4th of next March oue-hall
of Mr. Tafps Presidential term will
have expired. For the remainder of his
service he will be attended by Dem
ocratie House of Representatives and
new Senate controlled by Democrats
and Progressive Republicans. Neither
Mr.. Taft nor anybody else has any
thing TO hope for from the present dis
creditedCongress Its few short IN onths
of life will soon pass, and the sooner
the better, for it is capable Of more
mischief. The most important duty
of citizens with respect to that body is
to keep an eye upon 1t and thus by
surveillance and and the fear of expos
ure to reduce to a minimum its oppor-
! tunity for wrong-doing.
/ There Is hope for Mr.. Taft, however.
A man iof his character and ability
with two years yet to serve in the
greatest of elective offices, is in po-
sition to do important things if he
will. He has made mistakes which
can be retrieved. He has been guided
| by false or unwise advisers who can
be discarded. He has excused and
apologzed for iniquities which can be
denounced. He can put aside resolue-
ly the idea that he owes anything 10
to anybody except the people of the
Uriled states, who placed him where
he Is. In word, he can recast and
remake his Administration to the
strengthening of his own fame End TO
the decided advantage of his country
men.
This can he done by prompt and
generous recognition on his part of the
manifest will .of The people. They
want reform. They want justice. They
want economy. They want peace.
They want an orderly enforcement Of
the laws against individual Offenders.
they want relief from extortionate
tariff taxation. They want light upon
the sugar frauds, the Panama scandal,
the Philippine land job, the Alaska
exploitation, the Ballinger muddie
and The corrupt influences that mark
up tarfs when parties and candidates
promise that they shall be marked
down.
70 call the new Congress in extra
session as soon as the old Congress
shall have expired and to cooperate
With it in the promotion OF true re-
70 IN is Mr.. Taft's high privilege and
duty In that way he can give effect
to the peoples commands, which in
due ii e VIII become as binding upon
him as they now are upon the iegisla-
tive department. In that way he can
prove that he is not President merely
of party or faction. In that way he
can give the country assurance that
he is no longer controlled or even ia
fiueneed by tile men and the interests
SO inapressiyely repudiated at the polls
In that perfectly legitimate way he
can gain popular favor which dema-
gogues and agitstors have sought in
VAN.
Wise men make mistakes but wise
men 10 not persist in them. Is Mr..
Taft wise enough to profit by his err
rors and make the last two years of
his Administration as full of honor as
the first two have been full of disap-
poInimeut?

you are like old jeremiah Holcombe,
who wished to adopt him as his own
son, in whose office he studied law and
with whom he foollsbly quarreled
years ago. Madam, it was once part
of my day dreams that there should
be some time upon this earth a boy
named jeremiah Holcom5e Grey.
Strange that my dream should have
been fulfilled today at an hour when
life seemed to hold nothing for me-
She would have spoken, the warm
light of understanding flooding her

"Not now. When your husband re-
turns tell him that there is a lonely
old man at the hotel who longs to
know that bygones may be bygones.
Tell him to forgive me and let me for
give him."
Thanksgiving at the Grey's that
year surpassed itself. Ii was rumored
all through the place that Judge Grey
had found some of his northern kin at
the hotel, that the "Kinn was also
a judge, and that after years of es-
arrangement peace was about to be es-
tablished.
On this occasion Judge Holcombe
made the speech of his life. He ASKED
Dimples to stand up with him.

RAILROAD WILL ASK REFUND 0F ALL
 ROAD TAX
Will Follow Precedent Els, tablished by Copper
 Queen Company

As the result of what is apparently a new interpretation of the law by At torney General John B. Wright, George A. Mauk, agent for the Arizona Eastern railroad, is preparing to make de- mand on County Assessor R. E. Merritt for a refund of all the road tax paid to the county by employees of the com pany who reside within this city.
 MT. Mauk will take this action by reason of the fact that the Copper Queen has refused to pay county road tax for it's employees who live in Bis bee, holding that they would thus be subject to double taxation by paying both county road tax and city street tax. Attorney Ellinwood representing that company has advised this action, apparently with the feeling that this ac- tion conformed with the opinion of the | attorney general.
 Mir. Mauk yesterday exhibited clip ping from Bsbee paper, in which MT. Ellinwood is quoted as follows:
 CT have been advised that the coun. | ty road law has no application to a resident of the city of Bisbee, but that such person residing within the city limits is liable only for street tax of $2, payable to the county tax collector I understand that the Copper Queen will hold out of the pay checks the sum of $2 only, for road or street tax and in the case of man residing within the city, the sum will be paid to the city and in the case of other men residing outside the city limits, the sum will be paid to the county assessor, but only $2 will be demanded to pay county road or city street tax, as the case may be I am also advised that the attorney general of the territory agrees with my interpretation of the statute.''
 If County Assessor Merit declines tC return the tax already collected iron employees of the Arizona Eastern, il 1 is probable that suit will be brought | to affect it's recovery.

ANOTHER GOOD DAY AT BEN L0M0NO Jeffries Does Stunts More Cheerfully and Better
 Than Ever Before

BEN LOMOND, Cal, May 13.-Jef- fries has been so busy in his gymnasium the last few days that he has made himself nKe it. In his workout today he frolcked through his tasks with more of an appearance or real exurbance and vigor than he has shown since be- ginning work Members of his staff stood by and watched with delight the transformation from lethargy to every appearance of real physical fitness which has been so marked during the last two or three days.
 The gloom and doom of the earlier days of the camp has given way to a general mood of gayety and hopefulness, and Jeffries seems the most hopeful of the lot.
 There were no new diversions in to. days pastlmes, the schedule including the usual assignment of sparring, rope skipping and shadow boxing, bag punching and handball.
 The entire Jeffries party, Mrs. lief fries excepted, visited the fish hatchery near here thIs afternoon. Jeffries fished along the stream on the return to camp and brought back string of trout.

Seattle Young Man Tried to .Annihilate Vice Alone
 and Unaided

SEATTLE, Wash, May 13.-C. B. Russell, father of Wallace A. Russell, 23 years old, who went single-handed on crusade against vice shortly before daylight this morning and killed Joseph Bonner, manager of the Monte Carlo saloon and gambling house, said that he will clear the young man of responsibil- ity for his acts.
 The elder Russell is one of the rich est men in Seattle, and Wallace is his only child. The father said today that he had been dreading violent act of the young man.
 MT. Russell said:
 "For some time my son s mind has dwelt upon the vice and crime to be found in cities. Recently he assOciat- ed himself with secret society whose purpose it is to rid Seattle of vice. He has given hundreds of dollars to this society and promised much more. He has been very bitter toward the present city administration. ,N'I have no doubt that it was this mania against vice that sent him down to that place last night and into all this trouble.'

MIAMI, Ariz., May 1.-The Miami base ball boys are out practicing ire quently, initiating the new grounds. A practice game was played between two picked hines. The ball grounds are be- ing irrigated and when thoroughly packed will be in as good condition as any in the county.
 The Miami Lumber & Supply com pany's large shed in course of construc- tion collapsed Tuesday evening about 7 clock, with a crash that was heard all over town. The accident occurring at this time in the evening accounts for no one being injured, as several em- ployees were working there during the day. The damage will amount to sev- eral hundred dollars, besides the delay in putting the shed up again. The con- tents and frame will have to be Ter moved.
