AT THE HOTELS.


There are too many elective officers.
too many elections, and too great a di.
vision Of responsibilities in the municipal
systems Of the cities Of this country
said Charles $. Wyman, lawyer. Of san
Francisco, Cal, who is at the Raleigh.
This state of affairs is to blame TO
very great extent for the deplOrable p0-
liucal systems pertaining IN New York.
Chicago. and almost every other big city
in the United States. The voter Is con-
fused, on the one hand. and the average
citizen can see no particular honor in
being elected 10 one out Of a dozen or
more possible offices.
THE commission idea Of government OF
cities. said AIr. Wyman, whether the
commission be appointed OF elected, is
simply a solution Of the problem Of pub
lie responsibility. The fewer the number
Of municipal offices. the easier It IS for
the people to hold their servants re-
sponsible for misdeeds, while at the same
time every reduction in the number 0f
public offices renders them more desirable.
so that a better class Of men are at
tracted than is otherwise the case.
Municipal governments in Great Brit
ain, as a rule. are n0npartisau I'm their
politics, practically free from faint Or
graft. The electorate in Glasgow, for in
stance is little better than in San Fran
cisco, in any event. Right Of suffrage is
based on property and rent paying. 50
that there IS a little more financial re-
sponsibility on the part Of the average
voter On the other hand the general
average Of intelligence IN Glasgow Is FAR
and away below that in san Francisco.
The class Of people who accept nOnparti-
san government IN Glasgow or Edinburgh
move TO San Francisco. or Chicago, OF
New York. become our most bitter partl-
sans, and frequently participate most
freely and most successfully in the graft
ing schemes Of American cities. When

in Great Britain # is easy to see that the
cleanliness Of the Scotch and English
municipalities IS due 10 concentration Of

WEEK OF HARD WORK
 AHEAD FOR N. {. \.
ARIZONA MILITIAMEN REJOICE AT
 PROSPECT OF RECEIVING PAY.
Officers Say That Somebody Came Through and That Money Will Be Distributed Thursday in Camp
 Atascadero.

Atascadero. Gal, Sept. 25.-(Special Correspondence to The Republican)- A Sunday calm hangs over Camp Atlas cadero. This has indeed been day Of rest. No drilling has been done and all the men who desired to visit near by cities or towns have been let off until o'clock this evening As for the off cers, they are busy laying out long program of hard work for the next four days.
 Monday, Tuesday, "Wednesday ana Thursday will indeed be strenuous days for the Arizona guardsmen. New Mex leo has gone, so the Arizona boys arc left alone to learn the arts of war from the regulars. Tuesday afternoon is the time scheduled for another long hike" and that night the troops Will bivouac at some point within four or five miles of camp, as yet undeslgnat- ed. There is likely to be sham bat tie on the road and another is certain on the way back Wednesday. Thurs day will be largely devoted to battalion and regimental drill
 Early Friday morning the work Of breakin9 camp will begin. Every tent will be struck early in the day, all the tools and equipment not carried by the soldiers themselves boxed and taken to Atascadero station, to be loaded on the train. Late in the afternoon the tram, with the Arizona boys on board, Will pull out for Los Angeles. There the forces will be split All the companies except those from Yuma will be sent back to Arizona by way of Parker. The train will remain in Los Angeles until Sunday afternoon. Phoenix will be reached Monday, october 3.
 It is pretty well understood in camp that the government pay for men and officers will be forthcoming Thursday, the day before camp is broken. When it was first learned that there was some question about receiving any gov ernment pay at all for this encampment the boys became much alarmed. Now the officers say that it has all been liked up" though how it was done no one seems to know. At any rate the men will get their money and that is all they care about. It did the Ari- zona boys a lot of good to see New Mexico's troops get paid last trl- day. They reason that if New Mexico's troops were paid, Uncle Sam will not throw them down.
 The money has been here since camp was established. but so far as is known no orders have been received from the war department to distribute it.

A Sleepy Bunch.

There were some sleepy boys in Camp Atascadero this morning. Last night a number of the AriZonas ob- tained passes or else ran the guard lines and made excursions tc Mar garita, Paso Robles and other places. They had to be in by reveille this morning or else be accounted absent, so most of them put in the biggest part of the night travelling. The experiences of one bunch of Company B boys is worth reciting.
 These boys had applied for passes in the proper manner and early in the evening they set out to walk to Marga- rita, town about eight miles from camp They reached the place, only to find 1t nothing more than a village with no places of amusement. There upon they hit a freight train, expect ing to make a quick trip back to Atlas cadero station.
 But the freight they boarded was not one that stopped at Atascadero. It went right through the place like it wasn't there Neither did 1t stop at Paso Robles, some fourteen miles beyond. It did stop, however, at San Miguel, nine or ten miles north of Paso Robles. There the travellers piled off. almost frozen by the long ride on top of a freight car.
 Inquiry at the station brought out the fact that there wouldn't be a south bound freight until the next day. And they had to be in camp for reveille!
 It was nine miles to Paso Robles, but they walked it. Toughened by the long hikes of the last few days, they re- garded the walk as little more than a pleasant jaunt. Tn Paso Robles the bunch became separated and four of the boys chartered an automobile to bring them into camp. The remaining five waited and boarded a passenger train several hours later. They reached camp about daylight this morning and turned out for reveille and morning in spection in proper style.
 Chicken Dinner.
 Company B had a big chicken dinner today. The cooks did themselves proud and set out a feast that any soldier would fight for. There was chicken with dumplings, baked apples and pie. All three of the officers ate with the men and the company had as its guest OI t- T. soid1'Sf i'N battalion adjutant, who was formerly captain of Company B. All the other companies had something a little bet ter than ordinary for Sunday dinner
 Ball Game.
 There was a ball game this afternoon between the guardsmen and a team from Company H of the Thirtieth in- fantry. The regulars won but 1t was by such a narrow margin that they have little room to get chesty, except upon the quality of ball they played which was excellent.
 Lieutenant William H. Taylor of Company B pitched for the N. G. A and a man named Robin did the slat work for the men of the Thirtieth. Al things considered Taylor had the bes of Robin. He famed out man aftei

You'll find here the best line of hats you've seen lately grays, tans, browns, slate, stone and many other colorings are included in a showing of over fifty styles, and the prices range from $3.00 and $3.50 up to $12.0O-with probably the largest collection of Stetson's at $500 ever shown by a Phoenix store.

man. Though he was badly out of practice he had plenty of steam and sent them over so fast that smoke hung over the diamond whenever he was in the box The militia boys found Robin quite frequently.
 Here is the way the N. G. A. lined up:
 Taylor, pitcher; Gallardo, catcher; Price, first base; Lyall, second base; Chaney, third base; Rudero. shortstop; Shrigley, left field: Bivens. center field: COnnor and Hale, right.
 Lyall is a company B man and one of Bill Alvord's Jewels. The whole camp is wondering how Alvord is worrying along without Earl. Chaney, Bivens and Hale are from Company B and Shrigley from Company A. Price is Sergeant Major c. R. Price of the staff
 Shrigley and Bivens, in the field, dis tingulshed themselves by pulling down a number of high ones, to the great chagrin of the regulars. Price once knocked a ball so high into the air that the signal corps was called out to To- cate it. Everyone bent his neck look ing for the elusive sphere. Lyall was also a star at the bat as well as at second.
 The final score was to and the guardsmen thought they had done pret- ty well. Company H maintains regu- lar team, while the N. G. A. nine was organized only a few minutes before the game. Lyall. who was captain and manager. took his pick from about for ty applicants.
 It is probable that within a few days the national guard will play a team from the artillery.

many other ways gives announcement TO
youngsters 10 build and create There
would be lockers or booths in which the
