TO STOP sToCK GAMBLING

Stock gambling in wheat, corn, cotton
and other products of the farm will be
prohibited hereafter, if recommendation,
soon to be made to Congress by Mr..
Taft, is enacted into law. The President
is convinced that legitimate industry
suffers from gambling in futures, and be
believes a guIIible public should be pro-
tected from this form of ofspeculation.
Accordingly he has decided to urge
Congress to adopt law that will be as
effective in dealing with stock gambling
as was the law aimed at the sac of lot
terry tickets and the great concerns en-.
gagged in the business. The evil Of stock
gambling will form the subject of con-
ference soon to be held at the White
House. The President is deeply inter-
ested and will make known his views on
the question in special message, or in a
report on the bill soon to be introduced
by Representative Scott Of Kansas, chair
man Of the house committee.

SMALL rHIEYEs VS.. BId ONES

Now that those five small tools
of the Sugar Trust are languish-
ing in jail for their voluntary
crimes to enrich that bloated
swindler, the public are guessing
how many thousand dollars have
been paid them to keep their
jaws shut so tight. "Subtrac.
ton, division and silence" used
to come high! Yet these Sugar
potentates solemnly swear they
did not know a thing about it!
Without their knowledge these
wicked agents Of theirs, have
been for twenty years robbing
the Government of many millions
Of dollars. Well, the Sugar
Trust as a thief has been a huge
success-as a liar it is very
poor one!

FEW QUESTIONS


Mn. EDfroR:-W Will you give me space
in your paper % as . few questionss
which are both timely and true.
First. would like to know why our
efficient Town Commissioners have failed
to clean off the crossings since the snow
fell Thursday night2 have observed
this thing very closely, and find only g
few of them cleaned, and l am told they
were cleaned by individuals who did the
work themselves or paid someone out Of
their own pockets.
Second. Why did these same Commis-
sioners compel everybody to clean their
sidewalks and cutters alter the last snow
and then forget to have the slush removed
from the crossings after Thursday nights
storm?
Third. Now Mr.. Commissioners, do you
consider this good Judgment When you
say to Mr.. Brown, 'you must remove the
snow from your sidewalk in six hours
after the snow ceases TO fall or be fined, "
and the very next week fail to clean foui
inches of slush from our sidewalks?

THE CLAIMS OF THE LIVING.

The days grow shorter. the nights grow longer; The headstones thicken along the way; And life grows sadder. but love grows stronger For those who walk with us day by day. The tear comes quicker. the laugh comes slower; The courage is lesser tO do and dare; And the tide of joy in the heart falls lower. And seldom covers the reefs of care. But all true things in the world seem truer, And the better things of earths sseem best And friends are dearer. as friends are fewer, And love is all as our sun dips west. Then let us clasp hands as we walk to- gether. And let us speak softly in low sweet tone; For no man knows on the morrow whether

reply the committee has made a
 counter proposition to the govern
 ment as follows: That the present
 stockholders retain title to the ditch
 but grant the government permission
 to enlarge the canal and run through
 1t such water as it sees fit to its patrons If accepted it would make the ditch merely a partnership affair The patrons of the government whose lands are signed to the association would have their water delivered through it. while those not signed would still get the water they are entitled to. which would be deliv- cred to them from the Tempe canal. ' There is a double feed supply to the ditch, or would be in the event this partnership is entered into. The Tempe water would continue to be run into the canal as now. at its source, the Wormser canal branching west from the Tempe, while the gov ernment would connect one of its ditches from q point due east of the head of the Wormser ditch. which is five miles long. As this is an en- tirely new proposition, it will have to be submitted to Washington by Mir. Hill, and it will be some time probably before an answer can be se- cured.

INSPECTORS APPROVE
 CENTRAL AVE. BRIDGE
Board of Control and Supervisor: Look it Over and Say it is
 Good

That work upon the Central avenue bridge is progressing in a highly sat- isfactOry manner was the verdict of the county supervisors and territorial board of control, who inspected the structure yesterday. It was found that 36 of the 43 spans were complet- ed and that excavations had been made for all but one set of piers.
 Supervisors Hoghe, Orme and Bow en. with pr. B. B. NOeur of Tempe and Frank DeSOusa were driven to the bridge by Al Moort. When they ar rived they found Governor Sloan. Ter ritorial Engineer Girand and Robert A. Craig. citizen member of the board of control. already there. The board of control and supervisors therefore con- ducted a joint inspection.
 There is no longer any doubt that the bridge will be practically complete by the first of March. The work is being pushed with all possible rapidity. The thirty-siX completed spans present an imposing appearance. No bridge such as this was ever seen in Arizona and everyone who sees it is highly en- thusiastic over its appearance.
 Sets are in for four piers beyond the 36 that are completed and exca- vations have been made for two more sets. leaving only one excavation yet to be made.

.BRIGHT'S DISEASE

Late estimates on the percentage of recOveries under the new emollient treatment for Brights Disease are as follows
 Where patient is much weakened and crises may be expected in from five to ten days, probably not more than 10 tO 20 per cent recover. Where physicians aid with efforts to restain fatal symp- toms this percentage is increased. In cases where patients have from thirty to sixty days of life the efficiency is very much higher.
 Where patients do not wait until bedridden probably three-fourths yield.
 And in cases that take the new emOilient treatment on the appearance of the disease nearly nine out of ten respond.
 Albumen Casts and drOpsy do not prevent recovery. The point is that the Renal inflammation should be at tackled before the heart and physical system are broken down.
 The new emollient treatment Is known as FultOn's Renal Compound. It can be had at all druggists.
 We desire every patient to write us who is not noting the usual improve ment by the third week. Literature mailed free. Jno. J. Fulton Co. s45 Battery St, san Francisco. Cal We in vite correspondence with physicians who have obstinate cases.

OLD WEDDING KNIVES.
Few Specimens Left of This Once
 Common Gift to Brides.

Of the many dainty and curious relics belonging to old wedding GUS toms none is more interesting and beautifuk in themselves than the once indispensable bride knives, specimens of which still finger here and there among the cabinets of old country houses.
 Or you may discover. says a writer in the Queen, a slender. quaint. old pair of these ancient posy knives, in their delicate. faded cases. hiding be- hind the glass in some sleepy, pro- vincial museum.
 You scarcely realize as you exam inc them that without her wedding knives duly attached to her girdle the mediaeval and seventeenth cen tury bride would hardly have con- sidered herself dressed So complete ly a part of the marriage costume were they and so important an item of the ritual of the ceremony that they once came to be considered all most as necessary to an orthodox marriage as the veil and the ring itself The old plays teem with al- lusions to them.
 And who can forget the figure of Juliet. wearing her wedding knives. as she stands in tragic anguish in the Friar's cell. and again when she is about to take the sleeping potion.
