The New Supervisor,

Death having made a vacancy in
county. the law mahes it the duty of
the probate judge and the two sur
viving members TO elect a citizen to
fill the position The absence OF Su-
pervisor Orme in Washington will
necessarily postpone the selection
somewhat, and meanwhile the officers
charged with the heavy responsibility
Of naming the new supervisor ought
to give the matter their most careful
consideration.
A democrat will be selected, presum-
ably, and it is not surprising that local
democratic politicians are ready with
an abundance of advice to Supervisors
Orme and Hoghe on the question
But political expediency alone should
not govern the choice. The county
has many citizens who are not only
eligible as good democrats, but as
capable, progressive business men as
well; and from this class the new
supervisor should be named 1t is a
common saying that the office of su-
pervisor is one of the most important
in the county, and ii is the truth.
Supervisors should pe selected with
the utmost care The office calls for
large fund of common sense and
business ability.

Roosevelt, the Scholar.

The New York Sun. which in late
years has seldom found occasion to
say anything complimentary of Col
Roosevelt, gives a column of editorial
praise to his Oxford lecture. and states
these conclusions:
The address delivered at the Uni
versity of oxford yesterday under the
| title Of a Biological Analogies of His
tory" is a fresh Illustration of the
ability and marvellous versatility of
| Theodore Roosevelt. We shall not be
suspected Of a tendency TO praise any
! of his achievements unduly, but it is
only doing him justice to say that his
discourse was in every respect wor-
thy of the occasion and manifested
not merely superficial acquaintance
with the subject which he had chosen
for discussion. but a degree of sound
scholarship in history and science for
which we had hardly given him credit
and a moderation and modesty which
have not always characterized his
public utterances
As the title of the address indicates.
the purpose of the speaker was to
TeSefnDldnCES
as can be traced between the devel-
opment of the animal world and the
great movements and changes which
have taken place in the history of
mankind. Conceding that there is no
exact parallelism between the birth.
growth and death of species in the
animal world and the birth, growth
and death of societies in the world of
man." strange analogies between them
ner observable. Some of those points
of likeness were discussed by Mr..
Roosevelt at considerable length who
prefaced the discussion. however, by
declaring that we cannot say at pres
ent how far biology can be used as
an aid in the Interpretation of human
history. His tone in this respect was
very temperate. The Lecture was a
discourse of suggestion rather than a
confident scientific pronouncement.
The Oxford lecture is longer than
any other of Mr.. Roosevelt's European
addresses. Although scholarly in
tone throughout, there is an occasional
touch of humor. Referring to the ele-
mentary fact that "a book which is
written to be read should be read
able the Colonel says: This rather
obvious truth seems to have been for
gotten by some Of the more jealous
scientific historians. who apparently
hold that the worth of a historical
book is directly in proportion to the
impOssibility of reading it save as a
painful duty"
No one can read this Oxford address
without thinking more highly of Theo-
dOre Roosevelt.
The Sun is the most scholarly edited
newspaper in the world, and even
man of Col. Rooseveirs eminence may
well be proud of this praise of his
scholarship. The truth is, Roosevelt
is constantly revealing to his country
men new sides to his character and
all in all he is unquestionably the
most remarkable man now living.

PHOENIX. ARIZONA. JUNE 10. 1910,

Yesterdays publication of the views
of a considerable number of the ply
sicians of Phoenix on the sewer prob
lem no doubt had the careful attention
Of the people of the city. The deadly
filth diseases, typhoid, dysentery,
scarlet fever and diphtheria, menace
the health of the community. In for
mer years a case of typhoid that was
contracted here was unknown; now.
typhoid is frequent and is steadily
on the increase. The PHYSICIANS are
unanimous in attributing the changed
conditions to our lack Of sanitary
drainage. They predict that if we
undertake to do without a sewer much
longer a heavy penalty in filth dis
eases must be paid.
one dangerous feature of existing
conditions was not brought out clearly
in these statements. although it was
referred to casually in the mention
of the saturation of the soil from
cesspOols.
This feature is the steady rise of
the water plane. Six years ago it was
necessary to sink wells thirty feet or
more for a constant flow Of water.
Now. in some sections of the city, wa
ter is encountered at depth Of only
ten feet from the surface. This rise
Of the water table" is due in part to
the rise in the valley generally, but
mainly to the presence Of many hun
dreds of cesspools in the city.
The elimination of cesspools and
surface closets will make Phoenix one
Of the most healthy spots on the globe.
Continuation of these disgraceful and
ttBsanitary 'conveniences" will make
the city a plague spot of disease.
Incidentally, the installation of a
complete sewer system will make the
mosquito pest a thing of the past and
will greatly lessen the housefIy pest.
1t seems incOnceivable that any sane
and public spirited citizen of the town
would vote against the sewer bonds,
but there is some opposition from
citizens of the other sort. Some of the
opposition may be charged to the own
ers of the inadequate private sewer,
and some to the inability of a few
citizens to think on the question
thinking calls for at least some brains.
Still others are in opposition simply
because they belong to the mossback
or miser class.
The bonds will carry handsomely,
however, if the registered voters will
come out and vote.
