FUNERAL COSTUMES.
Their Extravaganza curbsd by Law Z
One Time In England.

OHD tthtiS w ApSiaAsAe
Sumptuary mourning laws were for
merly found necessary in England
to restrict the extravaganza of the no
bility and their imitators In the mat
ter of funeral costume At the end of
the fifteenth century it was laid down
that dukes. marquises and archbishops
should be allowed sixteen yards Of
cloth for their gowns. SLOPES"
mourning cassockst and manrles; earls
fourteen, viscounts twelve, barons
eight. knights six and all persons Of in
ferior degree only two. Hoods were
forbidden to all except those above the
rank Of esquire of the kings house
hold.
In the following century Margaret,
countess of Richmond, mother of Hen
~ VII, issued an ordinance for the
reformation of apparel for great es-
tates of women In tyne of mourn
ings." So it seems that men and wom-
en- have met in the extravaganza Of
sorrow.
Even 200 years ago London trades
men found that court mourning spri-
ously affected their business. Addison
relates that at tavern he often met n
man whom he took for an ardent and
eccentric royalist. Every time this
man looked through the Gazette be ex
claimed, THANK God, all the reignine
families of Europe are well. Occa-
sionally he would vary this formula
by making reassuring remarks respect
ing the health of British royalists Aft
er some time Addison discovered that
this universal royalist was a colored
silk merchant. who never made bar
gain without inserting In the agree
ment, "All this will take place as long
as no royal parsonage dies in the in

American Oratory.

No doubt the commercial bodies of Los Angeles. San Francisco. and the various eastern cities visited by the Japanese commission of business men recently did their utmost to make a favorable impression upon the visiting Japs. We could safely guess. without being told. that the distinguishing feature of the hospitality to which the Orientals were treated was oratory- speeches in the morning. speeches at noon, speeches at night, and speeches members of the Japanese party was interviewed when he returned to his home. and the frankness of his state ments of the impressions received is refreshing. He makes it clear that the chief hardship of the long trip was the necessity of listening to a multitude of speeches. The members of the party he said, were obliged to rise early every day, and were unable lD Tttlrt untl II or lZ O'CLOCK at night. They were obliged to listen to speeches in the American style. and this could often be endured only by sleeping"
 Let us not talk of war with Japan because this candid gentleman from Nippon speaks in truthful candor of an American weakness. In touching gently upon the American fondness for speech making he speaks the liv- ing truth. and sensible Americans will not be offended. Who is it that has not sat in agony through a tedious banquet and listened helplessly to never-ending speeches? All there is in the average speech could be stated, if condensed and put into interesting form. within a five-minute delivery. But proof that the speaker is an orator cannot be conclusively fur nished in five minutes-and all of us are orators.
 And it is not often that the listen CTS can safely sleep.

The Missouri Election.

The election Of c. c. Dickinson. democrat. from the Sixth district of Missouri. to succeed the late D. A. DeArmond has no significance except in the size of the majority. The dis trict is one of the most reliably dem ocratic in the whole country. MT. DeArmOnd was elected in 1908 by a majority of 1900; Mir. Dickinson at this special election had a majority of 3.7eO. Democratic leaders at Wash ington are pleased, of course. for they profess to see in this victory a strong movement of the people toward de- mocracy. and they are jubilantly pre- dieting a democratic landslide in the congressional elections this fall.
 By-elections are never reliable ba- try, for they are not held under the conditions which prevail in a general election. The republicans took no particular interest in this contest. They knew it was impossible to cap ture the district, and they had only the skeleton of an organization. The vote was light in all republican com munities. whereas the democrats made unusual exertions. by advice of their leaders at Washington. in order that a decisive victory might impress the country at large.
 II will not do. however. for the re- publican party to assume that it will have a walk-Over in the congressional elections Of this year. Until recent years it was quite customary for the democrats to carry the house of rep resentatives at elections held between presidential elections. and republican discontent in many of the middle western states may easily lead to the loss of tiTese states to the democrats
 If the Missouri election shall have the effect of arousing republicans in congress to the necessity of standing by President Taft in enacting repub lican promises into law. this demo- cratic victory will have served a good republican purpose.

Flying Week.

This is the week that Phoenix flies On Thursday, Friday and Saturday, at the territorial fair grounds, there will be the most novel and interesting en- tertainment ever seen in the terri tory The people of Arizona will for the first time have an opportunity to see the wonderful flying machine, the greatest product thus far of the twentieth century. That large num- bers of them will avail themselves of the opportunity is a certainty. All indications point to a record-breaking crowd. The spectacle of a machine, much heavier than the air. flying through space and carrying a man as gracefully as the condor propels itself in the sky, will be well worth incurring the discomfort of travel 10 see

Yves. poin. and Civilian Officers.

Some discussion of a pending sen- ate bill which provides for an in crease of 25 per cent in the number of cadets at West Point has brought out the surprising fact that minor ity of the officers of the army are West Point graduates. Taking the army as whole and including off cers of all ages. but 43.36 per cent of them are from the military acad- emy. Almost exactly the same num- Der. or 43.61 per cent. were drawn from civil life. and 12.97 per cent came from the ranks. From 1898 to 1909 inclusive 990 officers entered the army from West Point, 1878 from civil life. and the promotions from the ranks were 564.
 While it would be unw:se to change the policy of encouraging enlisted men to fit themselves for promotion to be officers, and in the American army it should be as it was in the French army uilutI -NdIoltbl- every Solultf carrying a marshars baton in his knapsack'-we cannot hope to meas ure up to Japanese ana European standards in the efficiency of officers if we continue to draw such a large proportion of our officers from civil life
 Soldiers follow West Point officers with more confidence and more alac- rity than they follow untrained off cers. and in trying emergencies are always more steady if commanded by officers from the military academy. It is to be hoped that the moderate in crease in the number of cadets at West Point proposed by the senate hill will have the approval of con- gress.

GOING UPi

EVERYTHING Is GOING UP. So it seems. Airships are all the rage now. everything is up in the air, even prices: but If you don't care about AVIATION. call on us and see our stock and compare our prices with others. You can see our stock GOING DOWN. We are selling goods so fast we can hardly get the time to have them delivered. People love to watch AEROPLANES GO UP. BUT they want to see PRICES GO DOWN, and prices on furnishings for the home have taken such a drop that, as one man said.

Cotton An Arizona Crop.

Two or three enterprising ranchers in the lower part of the valley. in the Arlington country" have placed the agricultural interests of the territory under obligation to them. Through their courage and industry it has i been demonstrated that cotton can be made one of the most profitable crops of the Salt River valley. There may be no extraordinary profit received from the seventeen bales of cotton brought to Phoenix the other day. but the main point has been established cotton will grow here luxuriantly. and will mature as satisfactorily as in any of the famous cotton districts of the world. It remains only to profit from experience as to the best char acter of seed, the proper amount of seed to the acre, and the best time for planting.
 In the Imperial valley, across the Colorado river in California, experi- ments in cotton growing have pro- ceeded on a larger scale than here; and as climatic conditions are prac- tically identical the results in the Imperial country furnish valuable object lesson. The Imperial ranchers are enthusiastic. They have demon- strated to their complete satisfaction and to the satisfaction of all investi gators that cotton is a sure and prof itable crop. Their net profits for the past season vary from $50 an acre to $100 an acre. The variation in profit is of course due to variation in yield. which in turn is found to have been caused by lack of uniformity in meth ods of planting and in the time of planting. One man, an experienced cotton planter from the south. planted last spring little less than ten acres near Fl Centro. From this tract he marketed fifteen bales. at s67.50 a bale. This yield of a bale and a half to the acre can be generally secured. this successful rancher claims, by in telligent planting and cultivation. He found that the proceeds from the cotton seed paid the expenses of the crop. and that his net profits ap- proXimated Sl00 an acre
 In the Imperial district it has been found that the cost of planting and cultivating is $S an acre The cost of picking 100 pounds of seed cotton is sl. The cost Of ginning is 8 bale, and there the cost of hauling was sl a ton. Capitalists have offered half a million dollars to finance the cotton crop in the Imperial valley this year. and an organization of cot ton growers has been formed.
 Some closer observers of the cotton experiments in the Salt River valley predict that within five years half the entire area or the valley will be devoted to cotton. At any rate, il seems safe to predict that a crop of extraordinary value has been added to the long list of our profitable products. Mir. Strickland and the other pioneers of the industry should have every possible encouragement.

THE NEW AGE.

When navies are forgotten
 And fleets are useless things. When the dove shall warm her bosom Beneath the eagles wings; When memory of battles
 At last is strange and old, When nations have one banner And creeds have found one fold: WWhen the Hand that sprinkles mid
 night
 With its powdered drift of suns Has hushed this tiny tumult
 Of sets and swords and guns: Then Hates last note of discord In all Gods words shall cease. In the conquest which is service. In the victory which is peace,
