The republican press is night
ly worked up because of a report
coming from Washington that
President Taft had promised
Senator Bailey of Texas to at
tach the name of Arizona to the
next great battle-ship. Is there
anything unreasonable about
such a report. Bailey was the
steadfast friend of Arizona in the
statehood fight and forced the
republican leaders in the senate
to consent to the consideration
OF the statehood bill. In view of
this it is quite likely that the dis
tinguished Texan extended his
friendship further and joined
other friends Of Arizona in ask
ing that the new battleship be
christened "Arizona." Bisbee

The constitutional convent
ions in both territories should
certainly be non-partisan. The
framing Of the constitutions
should be left to the brainiest
men in the territories-and they
should not all be lawyers, either
but a plentiful supply of plain
business men with conservative
modern ideas. Every effort
should be made to keep the con-
stitutions from becoming mere
complications of laws, and to de-
vote them to fundamentals on
which statutory enactments can
be baScd.-El PaSO Herald.

A Flagstaff special to the Ariz-
ona Gazette says that Percy Lo-
well, head of the great observa-
tory located in that city and a
native of Boston, is an Arizona
candidate for the United States
Senate and will make the fight
for the position.
Lowell is a millionaire several
times over and is man of great
ability. He has been voting in
Coconino county for the past
ten years and it has just leaked
out that his purpose in doing so
was a desire to be in line for the
Senate when Arizona became
state.
Lowell with his sturdy bank
account will be a factor in Re-
publican circles, and ifthat party
is to succeed at the polls the de-
mocrats of that section would
rather see Lowell in the Senate
than any other man in the re-
publican ranks.
The "sturdy bank account"
sentence IN the above special GER
tainly has the true c. O. P. ring.

Every time a democratic paper
or individual suggests a principle
for embodyment in the Arizona
constitution the republican pa
pers raise a mighty howl about
a "safe and sane" constitution,
and intimate that if democrates
are allowed to control the con-
stitut1onal convention, republi-
cans in congress will put up the
statehood bars against Arizona
again by turning down the con-
stitution. If the republicans ex-
pect to silence democrats in this
manner they are woefully mis-
taken. The democrats will put
forth candidates for delegates
who will stand tor the liberty
and rights of the people, for a
constitution that will place the
future government of the new
state in the hands of the people
for a constitution that will safe
guard every investment in the
state and one that will prevent
monopoly or oppression of every
character.-Bisbee Review.

chiefly by microscopic and chemical
methods.
If your boy has gone through all
this EDUCATIONAL training, which re-
quires not more than four years, he ia
! prepared to take up the most advanced
Chemical work and is in direct line to
become a specialist, with all the
/ emoluments and honors that such a
profession would give him. His work
would in all likelihood be with some
| manufacturing chemists after leaving
school, unless he went for year or
| two in drug store to give him lit
! lie more practical basis, where he
could develop any specially he might
! wish to, and he might advance him
self as bacteriologist which is one
modern scientific medical research.
Leaving school at the conclusion Of
his first course, however, his most
likely procedure would be to take the
| examination before the state board
| and become a licensed pharmacist.
This would entitle him to 60 into any
! drug store at salary ranging from
| $40 to $50 week.
There is not much direct financial
! advancement in the store end of the
drug business, as practically the only
| promotion possible is to manager
ship, paying from $35 week up. In
few of the largest drug stores the
| managers are paid as much, perhaps,
| as $4,000 a year; but these positions
are scarce.
In these conditions, your ambitious
boy will aim, of course, to have a
| business Of his own. This requires
money, however, which he must either
have saved or borrow. It will require
at least $4,000 to open a store of his
| own in a small town, of which prob
ably $1,000 would be need as first
payment on the $4,000 worth of goods
he would need as stock, and the rest
so for fixtures, etc. Most of the job
bers would be apt to let him have
goods by paying half down, accepting
| mortgage for the balance.
From then on your boys growth will
depend upon himself as an independ-
| ent merchant; but as he has exercised
care in his choice Of a. place, and the
profits in drugs are enormous, there
| is little likelihood of his not ad-
vancing to any reasonable status he
may aspire to. And, anyhow, who
ever heard of a drug firm failing?
You may have, but not often.

CONCERNING USE OF PLUMES
Newest Trimming in Millinery Shows
Styles Such as Our Mothers
Never Dreamed Of.

The newest trimming in millinery
emphasizes the use of plumes. Such
plumes! The word conjures up an in
Unite variety of styles of which our
mothers or grandmothers knew moth
ing, and fair women of today can be
doubly grateful for the efforts of MILL
ners.
Garlands Of plumes are used on
broad, low hats. They are spotted and
f1ecked with color, and some are made
of layers OF different shades, giving a
wonderfully 1rridescent effect.
On velvet turbans the use of a SIN
gle plume attached at the front, and
extending toward the back in slant
| ing line, is quite evident This line for
the plume is used on large hats as
we'll. And speaking of the wide, fiat
shapes leads us to the introduction Of
ostrich feathers to edge the brim. Two
successful Parts milliners have done
this with great effect.
Feather rosettss are made of ostrich
plumes. Concenric circles of cut
feathers are placed around a jeweled
center. At the side of a turban or on
the upturned brim of a large velvet
hat this new typn OF ornament is ex-
tremely chic
A feather bann is being used on
many large hats. Black and white
plumes are favored for these orna-
ments. They are detachable, hooking
at one side. This idea Is attractive,
for change of trimming means a
change Of hat.

FIGHTING THE WHITE PLAGUE
Number Of State institutions 10
Double During the Past
Two Years.

Sixteen state sanatoria, % county
hospitals and 21 municipal hospitals
for tuberculosis have been erected
and provided for since January 1,
1909, says recent bulletin of the Ma
ttonal Association for tho Study and
Prevention of tuberculosis.
Within the last two years the num-
Der of state institutions for tubercu-
losis has doubled, and the number Of
county and municipal institutions has
increased from about 80 to so. The
expenditures Of public money for tho
treatment OF tuberculosis also has
more than doubled. Not less than
100000 of state money was appro
pr1ated for tuberculosis institutions in
1909, when 43 legislatures met, and
over 100000 In 1910, when only II
legislatures were in session. The ap-
preparations Of counties and cities for
tuberculosis hospitals and sanatoria
in, the last two years will aggregate
fully $2,500,000. bringing the total
Of official appropriations for tubercu-
!osis hospitals up to over 100000
in the past two years.
In spite, however, of this good show
ing, the National Association for the
Study and Prevention of Tuberculosis
states that not one-tenth Of the pub
lie provision for tuberculosis that is
needed has been made. More than
100000 tuberculosis patients are con.
stantly without proper institutional
treatment.

HAD THEIR "ROASTING EARS"
Good Proof That Aborigines Were
Eating Them When Capt. John
Smith Arrived.

We do not know what the Indians
called roasting ears, but there is no
question that this was one of the
| principal articles of diet of the abor-
igines when Capt. John Smith and his
fellow colonists established themselves
| in this virgin country. A man who
was born in Maine and has lived all
about said that the term was first
| used in New England, but we doubt
| that, as the records would appear to
show that we were making laws in
| Virginia before the Pilgrims landed
at Plymouth Rock or thereabout. one
writer saying that the first legisla-
tive assembly that ever convened in
the country was held in Virginia "sev-
enteen months before the eternally
lauded Pilgrims ever landed upon
Plymouth Rock and ten years before
the colony of Salem and Boston in
creased their meager numbers be-
yond the hundred"
In Bruce's Economic History of
Virginia in the Seventeenth Century,"
page 173, volume l. we are told: "The
| custom WHICH, tue luulduS lOllO"eu III
eating their meals was simple. A
mat was spread on the ground and on
, this the dish was placed, the broiled
fish and roasting ears being laid near
at hand" Again, in the same book.
page 175, there is this note: "In June,
July and August they fed on fish, the
roots of the tuckahoe, berries and
| roasting ears"
The chances are therefore that
| corn. which was so important an arti-
Gle of their diet, was called roast
ing ears" or the equivalent in the
Indian tongue, as it is reasonable to
assume that they did not eat it raw
or uncooked. We are OF the opinion
that "roasting ears" is "a good Viz.
GINA expression" inasmuch as in Vir-
ginia the white man first used corn
on the table or mat after the manner
of the Indians, and as it was roasted
before it was eaten the presumption
| is that it was called "roasting ears"
The term appears to have been used
in Virginia since the seventeenth Gen.
fury and doubtless before there were
any Dutch in Pennsylvania.

THE new SHOE BUCKLES
for Decorating Evening Slipper
This Season.

Cut steel and rhinestone preGomi-
nate in the shoe buckle for decorating
the evening slipper this season. In the
cut steel, which has very refined ap-
pearance, the designs are very beautl-
full The buckles made of this mate
rial seem to be the leading ones.
They are made oblong and large,
and though this is actually the choice
among the metals, there are other
sizes and other metals still available,
for though it is quite new, it does not
exclude any of the others that with
some are still popular.
Rhinestone buckles are favored next
to steel and there is a wide variety of
these from which to make a choice.
Small and large ornaments, square
and round ornaments, oblong and star
shaped ornaments-in fact, in the
rhinestone one can get an ornament
In almost any shape person desires.

To Ereshen q Lace Waist.

A tight-cut lingerie waist of white
lace and embroidery gains wonder
fully in elaborateness by the addition
of the latest French fancy. This is a
broad band of net In pastel shade,
embroidered in soutache braid of the
same color and applied just over the
bust. With this is worn one of the
new neck scarfs of chiffon, in a color
that exactly matches and with the
ends embroidered in the soutache.
Both of these are easily made up at
home by any clever needlewoman,
and will go long way toward hiding
the deficiencies of a pretty but aging
lingerie waist. The chiffon scarf is
especially charming when embroid-
cred its entire length with large coin
dots in satin stitch.

Tho Way of Life,

It is being said of an elderly man in
business in Atchison: HE can't stand
punishment as he formerly could"
And there is punishment to be en-
dured in making living; don't forget
1t. Look over your own experience,
and you will detect punishment every
hour of the day. If it isn't at home, it
Is on the street car or on the road.
How many ways there are to punish
man who tries his best to get along
and behave himself. And after a man
gets old it is more evident every year
that the poor fellow can't stand pun
ishment as he could when he was
younger.-Atchison Globe

As to Brasses.

There is nothing that lends so
pleasing a note of color to a somber
room as an attractive bit of brass. A
brass bowl nlled with autumnal flow
ers or foliage, placed in dim corner,
an odd pair of candle-sticks on a
mahogany mantel and a brass book
rack on the center table, are very
charming and decorative. If one is
fond of artistic things and wishes to
add touches of beauty to ones home,
very quaint pieces can be gathered at
moderate prices at the old shops that
abound in every large city. Antique
brasses are becoming rare, and they
are within the means of almost every
one.
