Speaker Cannon, undismayed by tho announcement, that he is to serve in the useful capacity of scapegoat fori the sins of the Republican party, reiterates his previous statement that he proposes to run again for Con- gress, to be elected, and to be a candidate for the Speakership. He evidently interprets the announce ment of his enforced retirement, which emanated from the Federal dodge. and our judgment is that his interpretation is correct. President Taft has never yet uttered a public word against Cannon or Cannonism nor,-we may add, against Aldrich or Aldrichism, or Ballinger or BaIlinger- ism.

So far as we have noticed, not one of the prospective candidates who have replied to the circular letter of the State Business Mems Association, has openly declared against a public utilities commission. Some have found alleged defects in the associa- tion's bill; others have endorsed it, but with qualifications practically leaving them unbound by any pledge.
 It is fairly evident that the Gen eral Assembly will pass a public util- ities bill, possibly not, however, the measure proposed by the association. The important question pertains now to the construction of the bill- whether it will provide for a properly constructed, adequately empowered Irommissioq. or for q mere figure= T

pREARRANGED sNUBBNa


 Tho name of Ex-President Roose- welt was presented to the New York Repubf3oan State committee for tenn porary chairman of the State conven- tion. afesr Chairman Griscorn who preBsnted 1t had paid a visit to Pres fdenH Taft It is quite possible that Grfscom foresaw the rejection of Col Roosevelt, that he so informed Presi- dsnt Taft, and that he virtually ar ranged for the rejection as a means of checking the Progressive tide, with President Ts33s oonsenA It is not usual, in the Republican party, to permit important moves to come to a vote without . previous canvass. | va Hresadont Sherman who made q fsw weeks ago an Ant1-Progressive Gpesoh with the evident knowledge and consent of President Taft, was ch7Dua - tAo New Fork committee for Asmperary chatham. This point ed and emphasized the snubbing of Roosevelt, and made it even more clear that the regulars will not att tempt to conciliate the Progressives. &among whom the Ex-Predds4t has ranked himself by saying that his speeche if choSen for temporary chair mn would be of such character that 1t might help if the convention nominated the right Kind of a man on d clear cut progressive platform. but would hurt if neither the right kind of a man were nominated nor the right kind of platform adopt ed"
 Col. Roosevelt will be a delegate to the convention. and the appearance of the only living Ex-President on the floor instead of in the chair, will be very singular, but the regulars evil dently feared that his election as temporary chairman would stimulate the Progressive movement. AS, however, the convention holds the final voice, the Ex-President's friends wU carry the fight into the primar- ies end may thus succeed n Swing ,hfm the chair. It will be a lively contest and particularly so if Col. Roosevelt throws himself afield with his usual strenuosity. Whatever the result, the fight will widen the breach between Regulars and Progressives. but the former cannot complain be- cause they themselves forced the is sue and gave it the appearance of prearranged snub to the Progressive element.

FERROUS ADVENTURE
 OF THREE IN BOAT

Mrs. G. A. Hosmer of Fairfield, Helen Porter Of Danbury, and Char les Campbell, one of the summer res idents of Fairfield Beach, were toss ed about for three hours in frail skiff with which they made a peril ous trip from the beach to Penfield Reef Light. Caught in adverse wind and tide, the craft was swept far out of it's course and many of the cot tagers watched it's progress with anx- iety The loss of an oar further handicapped the trio. Fortunate turning of the tide and falling of the wind contributed to their deliver ance.

Hartford may lose two prisoners from it's jail rather unexpectedly but, Bridgeport, which passed Hartford in the census race has the unique dis tinction, apparently of having kept a prisoner for thirteen months so kind " that he. went home to visit his family as often as he liked. His term has just expired and the story has come out through his objecting to the presence in the house of a man who, he said, had been there too much while he was in jail Asked how he knew he said he saw him there, and the story came out.

 This Is beautiful example Of the advantage Of having some knowledge of natures laws in treatment of di- seases. and the use of common sense.
 I wonder if our efficient health au- thorities will feel it incumbent upon themselves to have the nurse arrested for practicing medicine without a i- cense. ~
 I read in some of the papers recent ly published about the anxiety of the Boards of Health throughout the and they are all sitting uu nights waiting for report from Bac- teriological Laboratories as to the kind of bug that is causing all this trouble and when they get that report they are sure they will be able to find something to squirt into the anatomy Of the dear children and kill the mis- erable intruder.-or more likely the children.
 It is more than likely. however. that these philanthropic gentry will wait until sufficient appropriation can be secured from the City Treasury for the inspection of public school children be- fore they can afford to be very active.

The kind of men Arizona wants in the constitutional convention are those having the intelligence and integri- ty to frame a simple docu- mert of fundamental prin- ciples. The personal poli- cies of these men do not mat ter, for politics has no place in the constitution, and no man who cannot lay aside his politics for the good of the new state should have place in the convention.

President Mover of the Western Federation of Mi. ners is credited with having his eye on Arizona and New Mexico with "a view of con rolling, to some extent, the Constitutional Conventions of the two Territories. One of the measures sought to have adopted by President Mover isa modification of the S-hour law, substituting therefor a 6-hour work day, contendiDg that the heat is so intense in this land of riches and sun shine. that in justice to hu- manity this reduction of work hours should constitute a State  paper and be in effect thence forward and forever, until climatic conditions may, per chance, necessitate a further reduction os the hours of toll.
 Thus does the PRosPECToR see all of its past endeavors smashed to smithereens. We have contended for years and mining investors have voiced a like sentiment-that nowhere on this hemisphere can a more equable climate be found, and it has all along been the boast of this paper, substantiated b y constantly increasing heavy mining in yestments, that in Arizona mining may be carried on for 3G5 days in the year, artisans laboring both night and day, neither cold nor heat work ing injury to man or beast. But it would appear that We have only voiced 6 delusion, a tanciful dream as 1t were. since while President Mover reclines in a luxurious easy chair away up in the Rocky Mountains and discovers that the heat in Arizona mines is too severe for humankind and essays to name a delegation whose mission it shall be to attend our ConstitutionalCons vention and urge that six hours constitute days labor instead of eight hours, as now in vogue.
 Thus is Arizona's climate assaulted. No one should be permitted to detraCt one iota from Arizona's incOm : parable climate. in which event the PRosPECToR will hayesbeen officially endorsed for having uttered so many truths anent our superiority as a country in which to mine and grow wealthy while one basks in the salubrIous sun shine, Mir. Movers intimation that 1t IS as hotas hades down in Arizona to the contrary notwithstanding. We shall wait and see
