required of the frail girl in the
central office who sists all day
long making and breaking conec-
tions, doing her work, as a rule,
promptly and correctly, he will
not be disposed to become irrasci-
BILE because he can not instantly
get into communication with the
number he asked for. On the
contrary, his evaporation will be
easily restrained by the cOnSidera-

than he would be able to do it if
he were in her place.

As One Mar, Loues.

When the news of Barrie's divorce came all the English-reading world vas shocked. Barrie has a warm place in the hearts of his public, and genuine was the sympathy expressed for his trouble.
 But if the world was shocked at the news of his divorce. it is amazed now at the announcement of what he has done for his one-time wife. He has. in a way, gone over the ground Ruskin trod when he gave his wife to his friend Millais. and still held that friendship dear. but Barrie has gone still further. His self-renunciation has struck still deeper. Though Barrie did every thing in his power to prevent the divorce, though after it was decided upon he still made the most eXtrava- gant oyertures, still. when an absO- ute divorce was obtained. he did not become a broken-hearted and morose man. Instead. he cheerfully faced the situation and played a part few men have ever played or even think of playing. He turned over to his former wife the deed of a beautiful home. settled a handsome income upon her and did everything in his power to give her fair start upon her new matrimonial venture.
 Such conduct has dazed and amazed his world. lt is incomprehensible to his friends. Many a man would rather have gone out and shot the other man. At the best. the average man would not have lifted a finger

PYTHIANs IN MILWAUKEE.

MILWAUKEE, Wis. Aug. l. By train and boat thousands of Pythians poured into Milwaukee today in time to take part in the exercises prelim- mary to the formal opening tomorrow of the twenty-sixth convention of the Supreme Lodge, the biennial encamp- ment of the Uniform Rank of the Knights of Pythias and the annual con- yention of the Pythian Sisters. The chief official action today was the formal dedication of Camp Henry Par ish Brown the tented city which is to serve as headquarters of the Uni form Rank during the week. Supreme Representative R. s. Witte transferred the camp to Supreme Chancellor H. s. Brown, who in turn, transferred it to Arthur J. Stobbart. major-general commanding the Uniform Rank

to further his successors welfare. Rather would he have liked to have seen the new husband fail in mak- ing his wife happy, that she might contrast the two to the advantage of the first. and perhaps bitterly re- gret the step she had taken. But this sNself Barrie's love burneS with a purer flame. No dross was in it. The happiness of this wom- an was still dear to him. let her go whither or do what she would. So great was his love that 1t was still his happiness to make her happy.
 Whether such a woman Is worth this devotion is beside the question. We are responsible first and only for our own actions. And Barrie lived the love which he believed to be the only true love.
 Such love is rare. but it Is love in its truest, purest sense. Love which thinks never of self. which consid- CTS only the others welfare, is it's highest expression. The pity of it is that 1t is so often unappreciated; that 1t is called forth only to be sac rificed. The woman who possesses such a love should treasure it as her most precious thing on earth.
 Barrie has lived a romance that has touched depths and is more tragic than any he has written. The loye stories of his pen are sweet and tender, but the love story Of his life is tremendous.

THE SATURDAY MASS MEETING.

While the Review believes the democrats. who attended the mass meeting on Saturday night were actuated by what they believed to be the best interests of the party in the city, we further believe a hasty mistake was made when the resolution, presented by Dr. Bledsoe, was defeated. This resolution pro vided that any democrat, securing twenty five democrats to sign a petitition, should be entitled to have his name printed on the pri- mary ballot in addition to the twen- ty seven delegates who had been nominated by the mass meeting Surely there was no harm in this resolution. and notwithstanding the vote of the mass meeting against this plan. we believe the Democratic Central Committee should recognize the justice of this procedure.
 The action of the democratic mass meeting was taken in the in- terest of harmony and to prevent republicans from taking part in democratic primaries which has been practiced in Bfsbee heretofore to the detriment of the democrats. But the endeavor for harmony should not be carried to the extreme Of precluding any democrat from hay ing his name appear on the list of delegates. endorsed by the mass meeting, provided he files a peti- ton bearing twenty five names of democratic voters. Besides those en- dorsed by the mass meeting there may be some who desire to attend the convention at Douglas on Aug. 20th No doubt there are some del egates named by the mass meeting who will not attend. We hope the Central Committee will take this step regardless of the hasty and ill advised action by the mass .meef.ng.

THE ESULT IN TEXAS

The Fl Paso Times thus sizes up the result of the recent primary held in that state:
 Upon it's face it appears anomal- ous that Texas should have nomi- mated (which is tantamount to cleo tion) an anti-prohibitionist for gov ernor by a plurality of 10000 and at the same time in the same cleo ton have given a majority of more than twenty thousand for the sub mission of the question of con siitutional amendment providing for statewide prohibition.
 ITO those conversant with all the facts and familiar with the political conditions and occurrences in Texas of late years, these facts are neither anomalous nor surprising, because they conclusively show that many of the anti-prohibitionists of Texas voted for submission because they were tired of the ever lasting threat of having it. and be cause they were confident that when it came to a show down that they could defeat it.
 And if an analysis of the vote in Saturdays primary shows any thing at all. it reveals the gratifying fact that the people Of Texas have put the seal of disapproval upon DO Hdcal and prohibition agitation and are determined to give the business interests a chance to build up and develop the state and her vast re sources.
 MT. Colquitt's personality and his record had little to do with the re suit What elected him by such 2 magnificent plurality was the things

One thing should be agreed on by all. democrats and republicans. and that Is that the constitution of Ari- zona should be confined to a founda. ton for future wholesome laws. In the constitution nothing should be placed which belongs in the statutes of the future The constitution should not be long and should leave the legislature the widest latitude in passing such laws as the people of the state may desire and demand Such a constitution would be sui fcient for the present and would be in no danger of being rejected in Washington.

The Democratic mass meeting ad- journed Saturday night without talk ing action recommended by the County Central Committee provid- ing for the proposition of submitting to the voters on the day of the primaries a list of those who as- pire to attend the constitutional con. vention from Bisbee precinct. The Review believes this action should be taken. The choice of the demo cratic voters on the day Of the primaries would provide the means of giving all the democratic voters an opportunity to express themselves. Notwithstanding the Republicans in congress abolished the Arizona pri- mary Law, at the same time they passed the statehood bill. the cop portunity is afforded the democrats.
