putJTzERA GREAT JOURNALIST

A giant in journalism has fallen;
q power irresistible in the life of the
nation has ceased; champion of
popular rights aud human progress
has gone. Joseph Pulitzer, prOprie-
tor of the New York World and the
St. Louis Post-Dispatch, is dead.
Born in Hungary sixty-fve years
ago he came to New York in 1864.
He served one year in the Civil War
under General Sheridan. After the
war he found no work in New York
and went to st. Louis. working as
stoker, then cOachman. All of that
time he was mastering English.
More than forty years ago he be-
came a reporter for the Westliche
Test in st. Louis, then editorial
writer, ater managing editor, and
afterward owner of the paper. In
1875 he was elected to the legiSla-
tnre Three years later he pur-
chased The dispatch and combined
this with the Post.
In 1883 he purchased the New
York World. At once he effected
revolutionary transformation in its
policies and henceforth the World
was devoted to the public service"
He was the creator of popular in
terest journalism - the highest
class of yellow journalism. little
later he was elected to the New York
Assembly, but his papers needed him
and he resigned.
Mr.. Pulitzar was the first Ameri
can Journalist who champiOned the
idea of school for teaching jour-
nalism. Some years ago he rendered

Joseph Pulitzer took into journal
ism new ideas and a definite pur-
pose. He had the courage to carry
them out. He was the originator of
the journalism of action and
achievement. His methods dis
pleased many and he made grave
mistakes; but in later years there
has been little disposition to under
.ste the service which his papers
lave rendered for civic and political
Gorality.
Joseph Pulitzer came from the
people. understood their aims and
aspirations. sympathized with their
sentiments and labOred to express
in mis- newspapers the popular will
and need.

THE GREATEST RAIN
IN TEMPE HISTORY
NEARLY FOUR INCHES OF WAT
Err FELL.
Some Damage Done to Adobe Build
ings but the Flood was
Handled Well.

If any one ever had a doubt as to
whether or not salt river valley sum-
MGR rains amount to anything that
doubt has certainly been dispellcd with
i'm the last forty-eight hours. Since
Friday night at midnight up to late
Yesterday forenoon Tempe caught a
fraction less than four inches of gen
uine rainfall; TO be- exact 3.9 inches ac-
cording to the observation made by j.
II. Cummings at the north end Of the
railroad bridge. All this too, without
bit of fuss or buster; no wind light
ming OF thunder; just an almost steady
downpour for thirty-siX hours with
probably not an hour in those thirty
six during which no rain fell.
Evidently as much rain fell across the
river as did here for when the Maricopa
train in Phoenix reached a point half
a mile or so beyond the bridge, it
found the track so badly damaged that
it was impossible for it to cross. The
train backed into Tempe and the en-
CINE took a car of ties and a section
gang to the damaged place. The morn
ing train from Phoenix to Winkelman
was delayed likewise and a second
gang worked on the Phoenix side of the
break 1t was about IL o'clock before
the track was opened and the conges-
ton of traffic was removed.
In the main part of Tempe the towns
well graded streets showed - excel
lent advantage. The water ran over the
sidewalks in a few places but on the
whole the flood was carried off nicely
and little damage resulted. East Tempe,
however, didn't fare as well as a mum

Redmond Barry, the judge who pre-

sentence with the customary formula:

THE POOR WHO GROVEL
At FEET OF WEALTH

| 1t is told of a certain clergyman,
poor in this worlds goods, that every
Saturday he borrowed SO so that while
he was preaching he could have it in
his pocket ana feel it, 1t gave him an
enhanced sense of worth and supplied
him with a kind of backing in his pull
pit ministrations.
On Monday he paid it back In the
same way people have more of what
| they imagine to be self-respect when
they are well-dressed. They reckon
on clothes i'm their inventory of values.
If a man lives in an elegant house the
tendency, both with himself and his
neighbors is to add the value of the
house to the value of the man in cal
culating totals.
If everybody in New York or Chicago
or Philadelphia were suddenly to be-
come poor there would be a social up-
set as amusing in some respects as il
would be pathetic in others, and then
it would be understood to what de-
gree in human estimate of people in
herent worth is eked out by dollars.
Nevertheless. as already said. mems
externals are being treated with less
and less delicacy. The idea is growing
in the public mind that the fundamen-
tai value of a man lies in his human
ness.
We are becoming more and more tir-
ed Of the custom which has prevailed
of having educated people trade on the
deficiencies of the illiterate or of hav-
ing millionaircs capitalize themselves
out of the poverty of the impecunious.
or course as some one has said eff
two men ride the same horse one of
them will have TO ride behind" but
that is no reason why the one who sits
in front and drives should spur the
beast in a way to make him throw the
rear passenger.
The true aristocracy is that of per-
sonal worth, not that of learning, nor
of stocks. Every one would know that
without being told if it were as easv
to measure the contents of a man as il
Is to compute his bank account And
people think nearer to the truth in this
respect than they confess to doing. and
a funeral eulogy that should give the
inventory of the dead mans assets
would be universally resented.
In our real estimate we are not as

to talk and act up to the level of it.
we shall insist. however. that a part
of the blame for all this attaches also
TO the poor. for while they often think
and say hard things about the more
favored classes they are only too ready
to fawn upon rich men. Instead of
standing upon theii. own dignity in the
glad and triumphant consciousness of
their own intrinsic human worth they
VIII humble themselves before the rich
in half-slavish kind of way and carry
themselves toward them as though they

Can't Reeover Stolen Land.

Denver.-Judge Robert E Lewis Of
the United States District Court made
a ruling which checks the effort of
the United States government to re-
cover millions Of dollars worth of Col
orado coal land alleged to have been
obtained fraudulently by coal compa-
nies. land companies and railroad com
panies prior to 1905.
Judge Lewis maintained that the
statute Of Limitation had expired and
that the government is powerless to
sue for recovery OF property alleged
to have been patented more than six
years ago on fraudulent representa-
tions.
Investigations conducted recently
convinced the attorney general OF the
United States that some of the big
companies had stolen government coal
lands and had made false representa-
tions in securing patents.
Special Assistant Attorney General
B. D. Townsend of Portland, Oregon,
was instructed TO bring suits against
the American Smelling and Refining
Company, the Colorado Fuel and Iron
Company and the Exploration compa-
ny for the recovery of patented lands.

has entirely relieved me of a bilious
habit which used to PROSTATE me two
or three times a year, causing much
discomfort to my family and suffering
to myself.
My brother-in-law was cured OF
chronic constipation by leaving on
coffee and using Postum. He has be-
come even more fond of it than he
was of the old coffee.
