As a result of John Plerrpont Morgan's organization of the. Bra gillian coffee trust, the price of coffee has been raised. A year ago a car of coffee cost $1,500. It now costs $5, 400. and is the same grade of coffee. This is one of the many examples of what can be done with the necessaries of life by trust methods, says the Graham Guard ian. Johnnie Morgan is a great man when it comes to squeezing the poor people so that he can add a few millions more to his ill-gotten wealth. But Johnnie will die some day, and when he does, they will have to bury him. just as they would any other animal to prevent the stench of rottening flesh per vading the air. With all his wealth, with all his great art galleries and his libraries, his memory will fade away. He has accomplished noth' ing but money after all, and he will have to leave that behind when he returns to Mother Earth.

now in shall hold over until Arizo- na is admitted to statehood, unless congress makes other provision, present occupants of the county aud territorial offices would hold till then.
 If statehood is refused to the ter ritory the enabling act becomes null and void, and congress will order special election for terri torial and county offices. But If the matter should continue to hang fire and be drawn out over months. then these stewards of our money and morals will have to postpone an account of their stewardship. 1t is more than likely, however, that the fall of 1911 will see the matter ended one way or another.-Dun- can Arizonan.

ONCE upon time it was rather fashionable for the sovereign voter to pride himself on voting for meas res rather than for men. In most voting communities now it is get ting to be a sort of habit with the voters to look rather closely to the man as we'll as to the measures he is advocating. It is all right to vote,for good measures, but every good measure ought to have good man behind it. An officer should be both honest and capable. If he cannot stand the test in both these qualifications he should be elected to stay at homeland that, too, by an overwhelming majority. A man may be thoroughly honest and have the best intentions in the world, and at the same time may be thoroughly unfit to assume ar important public trust. Officers are the servants of the people, anc the voters make a grave mistake when they do not insist upon { high standard disqualification.

SATURDAY. JUNE 8. 1911

Mexico's change in the presi dency has occurred without the demonstrations of mob violence that were generally feared, but it is too much to expect that normal conditions throughout the republic can be restored immediately, ob- serves the Tucson Citizen. The exit of Diaz was tragic affair. The man who had ruled his people with an iron hand for eight terms was finally forced out when the streets of his capital were tumultu- ous with cries of "Viva Maderol' With few members of his family and handful of troops he hastened away under cover of night. Sick with fever and crushed in spirit by the events of the last six months he seeks an asylum in Spain for his closing days and must look to history for the vindication which he doubtless feels is his due.

For an Orphans Home

Within a short time a project will be started which it is expected will be taken up and endorsed by all thinking people who are at all familiar with the circumstances in Arizona, especially the charitably inclined. This is an orphans home and the idea has been contem- plated for some timepast, but until now has not taken definite form.
 Already site is offered by Hoval A. Smith, who will give ten acres from the Warren ranch, near Bis bes, with perpetual water for the upkeep and the uses of the pro- posed home. To erect the building will cost $25,OOO it is estimated and after. it is erected it-is expected the legislature will provide for its maintainanoe. A fund to begin building the home will be raised by popular subscriptions.

Captain Evelyn Briggs Baldwin, the Arctic explorer, is in Washing ton working out his plans for an expedition to cross the Arctic ocean by way of the north pole. It is the purpose of Captain Baldwin to en- ter the pack-ice to the northwest of Point Barrow, Alaska. in 1913, and to make fast to a large ice foe which he states will be carried along just as car is drawn by a cable. In four years' time the ship and the expedition will have fol- lowed mechanically in straight courses over the northern curvature of the earth, crossing the pole. Cap tain Baldwin has converted scien- lists to the belief that his plan is feasible and correct, and that through the use of a ship, that cannot be crushed by ice packs, that his plan cannot help but suc- ceed. But one wonders how any man can lay out program which requires so much patience and hard work as that involved in this enterprise.

He has just returned to St. Louis from a tour of the United States and says that tipping is running the business, as men are shaving themselves rather than run the gauntlet of tips.

Prejudice Is hard thing to overcome, but where health is at stake and the opinion of thousands of reliable people differs from yours. prejudice then be- comes your menace and you ought to lay it aside. This Is said in the inter constipation, and 1t is worthy of their attention.
 In the opinion of legions of reliable American people the most stubborn constipation imaginable can be cured by brief use of Dr. Caldwelrs Syrup Pepsin. You may not have heard of 1t before, but do not doubt it's merits on that account, or because it has not been blatantly advertised. It has sold very successfully on word of mouth recom- mendation. Parents are giving 1t to by their parents, and it has been truth fully said that more druggists use 1t personally in their families than any other laxative.

e c.crc.y resemble the celebrations ob- cerv Of old ln honor of Saturn or Cacc4lt
 l-e Ecmca Saturnalia, which oc. cured in the winter solstice, were a Secfon of great festivity and rejoicing. Lo2ored by many privileges and ex- emptions. The spirit of gaiety had Tree charter, and even quarrels were 5uspendCd, to be resumed after the holidays.
 As manifestation of the gratitude felt at the renewed prospects of the returning march of the sun, gifts were exchanged and special hymns were sung. These latter were really the Roman representatives of the modern carol.
 At the Saturnalia the Roman feast ed. sang and danced, as we do at Christmas. A ruler or king was ap- pointed. who enjoyed certain preroga- lives. He presided over the sports of the season. Probably he Is the an cestor of the lord of misrule, who ex- erci2ed similar power In more re- cent times.
 Merriment was a matter of general concern, and the joyous spirit of en- tire districts is now narrowed to fam fly parties.
 It is the touch that makes the whole world kin, and it is pleasant reminder that, after all, history re peats itself.

EGF HERE are several exceeding STsgSU ly touching legends concern
 ing bells, which are heard ringing from buried cities and villages at this season. One belongs to a viii shire, and the story runs that once, where there is now but valley there was village which with every trace of life and habitation, had been swal- lowed by an earthquake; but ever since, at Christmas, the bells of the buried church are heard to ring as of old.
 A similar legend Is told of Preston. in Lancashire, and yet another and more moving one comes from the Netherlands. It Is said that the city of Been was notorious for It's black anc shameless sins, as well as re- nowned for its beauty and magnifi- cence. To the Sodom of the middle ages came our Savior on one ami versary of his birth, and went as beggar from door to door, but not one in all that Christmas keeping city
  he saw rampant on every side, but not trace of Christmas bounty and good will, and he called to the sea. which, as of old. obeyed his voice, and Been, the city of sin, was buried deep, cl I out Of sight, beneath the waves. Ut ever at Christmas up from beneath covering waters comes the sweet cGil- ing of church bells buried in Been. It is legend which appears to tell in parable that nothing which ever be- longed to the Christ. and was dedi- cated to his service, is evsr wholly lost from him and alienated from service; that ever and again something of their inherent beauty and compelling sweet ness rises from the depths through all seeming ruin.

And to this little child this little earth born child All glory will we render,
 A halo gleamed about his head,
 The stars @ brighter radiance shed All Judean hills bathed in splendor
 And hearts attuned to catch the strain Of heaven sweetest Harmony Greeted with joy the glad refrain:
 Glory to God in the highest
 He comes. He comes! He brings to earth heavens richest gem Gods love and Gods good will to men"
 > With pure unselfsh love His life was crowned And peace and mercy did with Him abound His word still binds the universe together His tender touch still lifts fallen brother. The loftiest heights the mind hath yet attained Higher and richer fields remain unclaimed Each noble thought, each deed of love-
 Each high resolve achieved, Is but stepping stone to these Eysian fleds. The light that gleamed on hill and plain
 On mountain and on sea, That light hath touched earth's farthest rim And bade the darkness flee That light through centuries gray and grim Has shone in song and story, That light that came Christmas day
 Will fill this world with glory. For twas the little child the little earth born child On that wondrous holy night
 Broke wide the bars of darkness And to the sleeping world brought
 Life and Light.
