ORE BODY BEING OPENED
 IN VENEZ|A
iFrom Tuesdays Dailvl


 Operations by the Veniza Gold Min ing Company in Crook Canyon are exemplifying the wisdom of the out lay of capital on that property, re- cent development on the south drift on the 100 foot level being the most satisfactory of any work performed in recent months. At this point a few days ago a vein of ore meas uring sixteen feet across and samp- ling s7.50 in gold to the ton was cut reviving considerable interest in the property. On the north drift ex- ploration is also going on, and it is expected that within a few weks the shoot that appears on the surface will be tapped, when it is expected similar conditions will be determined as in the other workings. Tn order to receive higher percentage of values than what has heretofore been returned from the milling process a small syanide testing plant was in stalled some time ago, which is giv- ing satisfaction, and it is probable this method of gold extraction will be introduced in a short time. The mill is again at work on a twelve hour shift, and superintendent E. l.. Tomlinson while in the city yester- day stated that the purpose is to run continuously. He also says that aside from his interests, the district shows unmistakable indications of being a heavy gold producer, several new enterprises being under head way, with others to be started in the next few months.

BACKBONE COMMANDS PRAISE
From the Tucson Start (Dem, )


 The only republican newspaper n the territory refusing to follow th@ lead of Sims Ely, "Jimmie" Williams and other bosses, wao have swail)w ed the constitution, including the -'- call of the judiciary, is the Prescott Journal Miner The comment of the Journal Miner on the surprising dis play of the white feather is strong and to the point. It says:
 Regardless of any action that has been taken by certain republicans of Maricopa county, in reference to changing front on the constitution the Journal Miner does not propose to abandon or even swerve from the pos ition which it has consistently main tained from the day that the repub- liean platform of. Yavapai county was adopted.
 To crawfish at this time would be an ignoble confession that the Jour nal Miner had been attempting to buneo the people in its declared be- lief that the only sensible method of securing statehood was to frame a simple constitution free from expert mentals in legislation.
 'To. do so would be tantamount to an admission that when. we advised the electors that there was serious and widespread opposition at Wash ington to the proposed constitution, and that it should be rejected in Ari- zona and a new instrument framed we must have been deliberately lying and seeking to deceive the people.
 'To back water at this junctnre and eoneede that there is even a hope that the constitution will be approved both by the president and congress, would be to impugn the veracity of those gentlemen who visited Wash ington and reported as a result of their interviews with men in author ity, that the proposed constitution was certain of rejection.
 No more severe arraingement could be made of the offiee-seeking small bore politician, and it comes from a republican paper which mas in the past fought with these same organs in a common cause But this display of self stulification is too much for the Journal-Miner and by courageous ly holding to the same views after election, it will gain respect where the weak-kneed organs are accorded nothing but ridicule. Even the poli- tieians in Washington will have no trouble now in deciding which is the leading republican newspaper in Ari- zona

Az TNAPPRECTATED SCHOLAR

Professor Francis A. March, who died
last Saturday, was scholar VINO
brought distinction to the United States
at time when this country's output OF
scholarship was painfully meagre. He
was pioneer in spreading among the
users Of the English language knowl-
edge Of its origin and Developments
knowledge even now sadly lacking
among those who speak the worlds lead
ing tongue. 1t is n grave reproach 10
our schools that as a rule they teach
Latin, French, German. Spanish. and
even Greek. with far more thoroughness
than they ever think of teaching Eng
lish. Against such a misapplication Of
energy Professor March warlpd all his
life. He labored TO popularize in this
country the teaching OF English as a
vital element I'm education, and he seems
to have had hopes at one time Of on
couraging Americans 10 give that criti-
cal. painstaking and creative study to
the impressionable idiom which they use
that would put them in n position TO
claim priority in It's future development
over other English-speakinS peoples.
Americans, however, have been as lax
as the English themselves in mastering
the language, and its historical develop
lnent Is still sealed book to the vast
| RIA jority here as in England. Few chill
dren or grown-ups who have studied
| English only as It is commonly taught
know anything about grammar, except
what they have picked up by ear, and
| this fact becomes evident when they try
10 learn more highly infected foreign
language and are stumped by its more
complicated grammatical construction.
| The dative case is mystery to such,
ana equally so are the subjunctive and
conditional forms Of the verb.
| Yet even cursory study Of the Eng
| fish language In its formative state
would give some substance TO its pres
ent day grammar, and would prepare the
student to understand both lis merits
and defects as language which has
won its way I'm the world and is appar-
emily destined TO a larger use than any
other tongue in history. Such knowl-
edge would be cminently worth while,
and some day the schools may see the
advantage of offering to all thorough and
scientific instruction in English. Profess
Sor March did much to promote an adj
mirable cause. and his life work may
some day be appreciated ut its full value,
although it failed Of proper recognition
by his own day and generation.

HOW AROUT STOPPINGH

IT is doubtless a commendable thing
for an automobile driver TO run his car
into a ditch or even into Il tree. mt the
risk Of damaging il and even of injuring
himself, to avoid running over or into
scme one else, when that course is the
only alternative to collision Such acts
are occasionally reported, as one Of them
was yesterday, and they present CRATE
full relief TO the too frequent cases In
which automobiles. having done some
body harm, scurry away in cowardly
and criminal fashion, without stopping
to succor or to inquire after the welfare
Of their victims.
At the same time we cannot help
wondering what has become Of the much
Wanted quick stopping capacities of
these engines. II has a thousand times
been urged that they are far safer than
horses because they can be stopped so
much more quickly and surely, and we
have heard tales of the possibility of
stopping a car at high speed within
few yards or feet. perhaps within its
own length. If that can be done. why
do not drivers of cars more frequently
stop them short to avoid accident. in
stead of running them into bitches. upon
sidewalks or against trees or telegraph
poles?
Take the case which was reported in
yesterdays paper as an example We
are told that a car which was turned
into Il ditch TO avoid collision with an
other car ran two hundred feet in the
mud of the ditch before it was stopped"
Are we 10 understand that il could not
he stopped within shorter distance?
If so, that would he a discoura ging reve-
alton Of the lack Of control of car.
On the other hand, If it could have been
stopped more quickly, why was that not
done? or course, it is undesirable TO
stop ear suddenly. because of the
strain upon the machinery and the dam
age 10 the tires; but we should think
that even that was preferable IN run
ring II for u long distance IN ditch or
elsewhere off the road, where ii might
easily sustain much more serious dam
age and infict II upon others.
II would seem 10 he desirable for
drivers of ears to cultivate n greater
readiness 10 stop quickly for the avoid.
ance of danger TO themselves or others.
We too often hear If accidents In which
the drivers are said to have made every
effort, even at the risk OF their lives ~
avoid disaster. but in which they did
not at all make the efficient effort of
STOPPING their cars. What Is needed Is

REVISION IN IGNORANCE AND
DOUBT.

The strongest argument which Gov
ernor Harmon Is able TO make for the
vetoed tariff bills In his Boston speech
IS that they were no more unscientitic
than the Payne-Aldrich law. If they
were based on ignorance. reasons the
Ohio Governor, the existing law Is based
upon ignorance and worse. The Presi-
dent would not even, he charges, give
the people 'the benefit Of the doubt"
But why should the country legislate in

weeks act upon full information? What
Is the exigency which cOmpels the coun-

defenders of such revision confess 10 be

Is 1t perfectly certain. moreover. that
the consumer would have got the "bene-
fit Of the doubt had President Taft
signed the tariff bills passed at the re-
cent session. Even Democrats who are
aldently In favor Of lower duties con-
cede that reductions must be made care
fully and with due regard TO the indus
tries that will be affected. 1t is per-
fectly possible by reckless revision Of
the tariff to upset business In such 4
way that the consumer instead of being
benefited would suffer And these were
reckless bills, i'll digested, hastily con-
ceyed. full Of grOtesque errors, with
some important schedules revised off
hand in answer TO an attack OF Mr.
Bryan upon the Democratic leader in the
House Of Representatives. They were
passed by an irresponsible combination

Of the tariff changes no such jaunty tariff
legislation as that passed at The last ses-

At the most all that Sir. Taft's veto
has done is to delay tariff revision for
few months, and the delay is well
worth while in order that the public may
have a revision made in the light OF full
knowledge, one that will benefit the con-
