VOTE FOR THE BEST MEN.

THE local Democratic newspaper, which is not
4 keen in support of the city Democratic ad-
ministration, has concluded that the only thing
for the voters at the coming city election is to
voNs for the best men presented as the candidates
for ofSce.
This is good advice, but it will not be liked by
Democrats. The Republicans have nothing to
fear from srSh advice. They will be willing to
stand on it. for the Republicans believe that they
will have the bess men as candidates.
The Democratic newspaper stands a splendid
chance of being put u a queer position for it is
probable that the "hghting Mayor" the Hon. J.
Harvey Spruance will be Nominated by the Demo-
Gratis in the triangular fight that is promised Ger
tainly Dr. Spruance has g&od a chance of the
nomination as either Of the othSr candidates
Should Dr. Spruanee be renomi0ated, the local
Democratic newspaper which has never given very
loyal support to the Mayor would havs TO uphold
the administration that it has severely criticised or
perhaps it may support DR.. Howell who will be
the Republican candidate unless some one else
wrests the nomination from him and there is now
no other Republican aspirant in sight.

A SOLDIER
NJ. c. Robbins.

Yes. admire a soldier
THAT would sacrifice his lie,
And gladly die his home to save
For a mother or a wife.
But there are things that's Just as
brave
In this wide world of ours;
You meet them in the home ne,
In temptations darkest hours'
I think a man that's grave Of heart
Can be soldier true
With many on battle field
Or when at home WIN leW.
For he can speak the gentle woro'
Can help the burdened heart,
Can scatter kindness all around
And happiness impart.
'Tis not upon the battlefield
The brave are always found;
For In the lowly walks OF lie
They very oft abound.
For those that fight the battles
OF poverty and care
Should wear the bays and laurel
wreaths
And much of glory share.
But we must all give honor
To the soldiers brave and true.
That wear the gilded buttons
And the loyal suit Of blue.
For he has left his loved ones,
Has severed fondest ties
To fall upon the battle held,
To suffer and to die
And when the sword is laid aside
And air earthly glory past.
I hope he'll have the honors
That forever more will last.
And when at last the taps shall sound
That calls him up on high,
I hope he'll answer, Here am l."

Overflow Of shad.
Baltimore American.

Baltimore American.
The news from the rivers and bay
armlets. from the Susquehanna down
to the Pocomoke. is TO the effect that
the shad and herring are coming up
the channels and even overrunning
the flats in such tremendous array as
has not been in. evidence before for
nearly a quarter of a century. To-
ward the close Of last week these
ocean fish arrived in the Baltimore
market literally by shiploads.
For several years in succession now
there has been a prolific run up the
Maryland rivers Of herring and shad.
This increase may fairly be attributed
to artificial propagation. The Gov
ernment hatchery has annually been
turning loose at the headwaters Of
the Chesapeake millions of young
shad and the Maryland and Pennsyl-
vania State hatcheries have been sup
plementing this stocking Of the
waters. While the Pennsylvania
hatchlings are turned into the upper
waters OF the Susquehanna, they must
travel through Maryland waters after
they are grown up and make the re-
turn journey from the ocean.
So Maryland fishermen gather the
proceeds of Pennsylvanias enter
prise; but, as an Offset Maryland
hatched fish doubtless travel far up
the Susquehanna and get landed in
Pennsylvania Both national and
State Governments are doing we'll in
farming the waters in so far as fish
are concerned. It has been satisfac-y
torily demonstrated that almost anv
variety Of fish can be increased artiC
fcially and thus be made abundant.

BASEBALL.

KATHAT vast amount of enthusiasm and en-
w ergy and brightness we put into our sports.
The baseball season is with US and judging by the
ordinary standard the only thing of prime inn
portance to a great many people in this world is
the result of the baseball games. And it is a sort
OF continuous interest. If game should be play

Motor and the Horse.

Boston Globe.
The extent to which the horse is be-
ing supplanted by motor-propelled
vehicles may be appreciated when it
is said that a careful investigation
shows that about 20 per cent. of the
automobiles now running are used
for business purposes. The auto is,
of course. employed largely for pleas
ure trips and will continue to be; but
its rapid progress in the field of bust
ness activities is most remarkable.
In view of the enlargement of the
automobile industry, what will become
of the horse is an interesting query.
It is safe to predict. however, that this
noble animal will not be wholly rele-
gated to obscurity. He is wanted still
by a large number Of persons who
enjoy driving or riding He is need
ed for other pastimes, such as hunt
ing and racing, and he will always be
indispensable on the farm. Until the
coming of universal peace he must
be raised and used for army purposes.

HEALTHY CONDITION
 0F THE OVERLAND
Reports Submitted at Annual Meeting Held in the Capitol City
 Last Week

holders of the Overland Telephone and Telegraph company was held at the general offices of the cor poration in the company's build- ing Monday afternoon and was largely attended.
 The reports of the president, treasurer and other officers of the Overland proved of unusual in- +terest and showed remarkable improvement in the financial con- dition of the company since MT. Stoddard assumed its general management, but three months since. Reports concerning the work of extending its numerous lines and increasing the profit earning capacity of the same, not only in Phoenix and vicinity but throughout central and northern Arizona, were also gratifying to the stockholders and were re- ceived with expressions of satis- faction. The reduction oI habili- ties to one-third of those existing such short time back was no more surprising than was the an nouncement made by the new president that the semi-annual interest due on all bonds on the day of this meeting, May ISt, would be paid on presentation of coupons, and that not a dollar had been borrowed for this pur- pose.
 The Overland company is about to construct first-class line from it's wires along the Santa Fe at Ash Fork to Prescott and Phoe- nix, and funds for the purpose are already assured.
 The number of directors was increased from seven to eleven and the following we'll known business men were elected: B. T. Hurley, C. H. Pratt, Frank T. Alkire, Isaac T. Stoddard, Charles Goldman, Redmond Toohey, and Celora M. Stoddard of Phoenix, B. ]. Schweppe Of Tempe, David Connor of Jerome, J. w. Weath- erford of Flagstaff, and A. C. Webb of Roosevelt.
 At meeting of the directors held yesterday the following off, cers were unanimously elected: Isaac T. Stoddard, president and general manager; (. H. Pratt, vice president; Frank T. Alkire, secretary and treasurer. H. H T. Glessner is the new superin- tendent and H. A. Parsons suc- ceeds MT. Snowden as local mana ger, the latter having resigned to engage in private business.
 A resolution was adopted to the effect that the price of both stock and bonds of the company be ad- vanced as soon as the balance of working capital required for the construction of the Ash Fork, Prescott and Phoenix all copper line is secured.
 The Overland already has five hundred stockholders, thirds of whom are residents of Phoenix and include nearly all our leading business men. Great confidence is felt in its management and the success of the enterprise is gener- ally regarded as fully assured. - Phoenix Republican.
