each year, and a standing army of about the present size, General Wood seemed to think the army would be strong enough for present needs-
 Let us retain a short enlistment and build up a reserve corps that will bring the army at any time up to the war standard, and we win get along better than with a long en- iistment and no reserve corps" he added.
 General Wood earnestly request ed that no legislation should be passed that will tend to keep the professional soldier" in the service He disagreed Dointedly with anyone who suggested that the best fighters are the old army men who have spent years in uniform and who have taken up the life of private as vocation rather than a patriotic duty.

AN APPEAL

I desire to call the attention Of the loyal people of Bisbee to the fact that thirty-four days before the Fourth of July comes Memorial day.
 Our efficient board of trade has made liberal provision for the celebration of the anniversary of our nations birth, which is as it should be, but before we spend the thousand and more dollars for noise and smoke let us in a quiet and reverent way repair to our cemeteries and pay that tribute which is due to our nation's dead who are q part of the great whole whose willing sacrifice and heroic valor won for it that perpetuity and glory Of which We so proudly boast
 Let us then, regardless of whether we or our fathers fought at South Mountain or San Juan hill, whether We or our fathers marched under the stars and stripes or under fhe stars and bars. see to it that over each of those thirty or more graves there is placed the little flag and upon each is laid some of the beauties of spring. the fading emblems of memories that each succeeding spring time should renew the gratitude that should en- dure as long as the nation exists.
 Having no money with which to purchase we call for offerings of flowers, which may be left at the C.. c. Library in the afternoon or even ing Of the 29th or the early morning of the goth or handed to the delega- ton at the gate of the Lowell ceme- tery at about 10 a. m. the 30th.
 We ask all veterans of the civil war, whether they wore the blue or the gray and all veterans Of the Span- ish American war and all sons of veterans whether or not they are members in good standing in that order to meet in front of the library at 9:30 a. m. the 3Oth to go in a body to the cemeteries and to fur ther suggest that all flags be placed at half mast at sunrise for that day

GREAT FILMS SHOWN

Seldom, If ever, have the people of Bisbee had the opportunity of seeing two such excellent films as those put on by the O K theater fast night
 The two headliners were the films picturing the historical tragedy con cerning the Queen of Dido and tho other ono the romance of Pocohan- tas. The former was an impressive reproduction of the historical story concerning the fckle queen of the Carthaginians, who fell in love with the young Trojan. later endIng ner life when her own people turned against her because of her love. Tn this film can be seen exact reDroduc- tons of the old ships which sailed the seas in the days when Carthage was in her glory. Voluminous re- searches were necessary on the part of the producing company Of this hlm 10 get the data on which to build ships in exact replica of those which then sailed the seas, but this was done and the ships are there in all their accuracy and beauty. The cpd of the story shows the fire which consumed the queen. The picture is tragic and beautiful at the same time and worth going miles to see
 The other picture concerns Poco- hantas. The smallest school boy knows the story of the rescue of John Smith by Pocohantas. This picture was given great study before its enactment and the primitive yir- ginia forest is pictured in au it's beauty, showing Poc0hanras in the act of rescuing John Smith, and later her marriage with Rolfe, and her subsequent tragical experiences in England. This picture is only second to the Queen of Carthage.
 Gorgeous costumes and splendid stage settings characterize all of these scenes. Tn addition The Grim inal Chiefs Capture" is shown. lt is one of the clever Sherlock Holmes films. enacted with perfection Then there are two reels of comedy. On the whole the program could not be better.
 The new seats have been installed in the popular O K theater and tt'o of the largest fans in the city are in operation, thus giving the audi ence every comfort.
 New music for the electric piano is expected any day now. This pTano has created wide and favorable com ment throughout the southwest.
 The same program will be on to night

NEW YORK. May 23.-New York's new public library. declared by eX- perts to be one of the finest and best equipped buildings of its kind in the world, was today formally dedicated in the presence Of a most distinguished company. The corner stone for the great marble structure was laid nine years ago. The cere- monies on that occasion were most impressive and elaborate and those of today were fully in keeping with them
 The international and local appre- citation of the significance ol the dedication was abnndantly proved by the presence at the exercise as participants in the program of the President of the United States, the governor of the State of New York and the mayor of the city of New York, together with many of the highest national officials and the heads of the various leading diplo- matic corps accredited to the United States.
 Presented By the City.
 The scene Of the ceremonies was the main yestibule, from the cen. tral gallery of which President Taft. Governor Dix. Mayor GaynOr and the venerable John BigelOw addressed the distinguished, audience. The pres ident delivered the principal address of the day. Mayor Gaynor made a brief speech committing the building. the property of the city, to the libra- ry and directors. The address of ac- ceptance in hebalf of the directors was made by Dr. John L. Billings.
 The dedication exercises com menced at ? o'clock this afternoon aGd occupied about an hour and g Ian. At their conclusion ihe gene. al public was admitted to the building and given the first opportunity to view and admire it's architectural beauties, the magnitude of its in terior decoration and furnishings and the completeness of it's equipment.
 Ten Years to Build.
 The library thus formally dedi- cated to the use of the public rep Tesents the results of ten years of construction work and an expenditure or nearly S10,000. GOO. The great mar

CITY IN NEED OF
 CHEAPER INSURANCE
Continued from Page 1J

councilmen have requested the Bis bee-Naco Water company to submit a proposition to the city council set ting forth on what terms they will provide the additional water and people.
 It has been suggested that perhaps the city council could make an ad- yantageous arrangement with the water company by which the water to reinforce the city's present supply available for fire protection would be furnished at a low rate and also a reduction in the rates to individual consumers as well, by the granting of a franchise to the water com Dany.
 Alderman Newman stated last night that if this additi Jnal and required water supply could be arranged for it would save to the property own CTS in the city between $12,000 and S15,000 per annum on their insurance premiums.
 It is quite likely that at an early day the city and water company will be in conference on this very ImpO, tant matter and in view of the well known fact that the city is not in a financial position to either buy the present water company's plant or tC install a new one, if the water com pany desires a franchise and is willing to make reasonable conces- sions to obtain it, then some amica- ble arrangement along that line should be easy.

be structure occupies two city blocks extending along. Fifth avenue from Forty-second Street to Fortieth Street. It contains four stories and basement. The architectural style of the building is modern Renaissance more or less of the Louis XVI period, with such notifications as conditions and twentieth century needs have suggested. In general, the building IS rectangular. with two interior courts.
 The main stock room occupies tho greater part Of the rear of the ouuu- ing. This room is 297 feet long and 7S feet wide and contains seven floors. Altogether, there are about D miles of linear shelving. with a total capacity of about 3.5O0.000 vol room, and having practically the same dimensions, 'is the great read ing room.
 Complete Printing Office. In addition to the stackroom and the reading room the building con tails a complete printing office and binding plant, the delivery room, the catalogue room, technical science reading room, reading room for the blind, the periodical room. and a number of special reading rooms, reference rooms. reception halls and art galleries.
 The new building is to be the cen trai home of the Astor Library, founded in lS49; the Lenox Library founded in 1870, and the Tilden Ii. brary. founded in 1887. The first two are reference libraries exclusively. and the third, for financial reasons, never materialized as a separate in stitution.
 Contrary to an impression in some quarters. not a dollar of Andrew Carnegie's money has gone into tho erection Of the new building. and not a dollar of his is to be spent in it's maintenance. Mir. Carnegie's do nations for libraries in New York city amount to several million dollars. but in accordance with his wishes all Of this has been used for the con- struction and maintenance of branch libraries in various parts of the metropolis.

held up and then ridiculed by tae present territorial capital There are few counties in Arizona which have not gone through the same experience as Pima, Pinai and Cochise in the loss of territorial institutions. polit- ical preferment. highway funds and other things which are always sought and usually gained for the confines Of ha-icopa county.
 Although the aboveshgures on poo ulation should be convincing enough they are not half SO strong as they could be made by the deduction of tho Indian population in northern and southern Arizona. So long as the Indian are wards of the government. their Mecca is the Great White Father in Washington. and they have little use for a state capitol next to their wickiup. Doubtless it will be many years before they can be con- sidered a factor in the choice of 8 capital location. Deducting the 1s.455 Indians in the counties allotted to Phoenix. and the 2,4O7 in the counties standing by Tucson. the argument is lconvincing. Exclusive of Indians there are 1OS.O2s residents of the counties which should back Tucson. and only 75.46S in those for which Phoenix is slightly more convenient Yet despite this unanswerabie ar gument for the removal of the capital to Tucson, one exchange says that Phoenix will keep the state house, because those people over in Salt river valley are alive: they are scrap pers and hustlers from the taw; they have the know how. and always use it.
 This sounds like a challenge.
 WHY NOT STRIKE?
 It Is to be hoped that as e result of Hon. George Mauk's visit to this county that the insurrection in Bis bee and Tombstone over the Ioca- ton Of the territorial roaI will be quelled Mauk Is now in Bishee, here he will take the H)n Mike Cassidy into camp and together they will pour oil on the trouolel water Mauk has never been considered as an expert, but as a republican poll tieian he has landed some bir afne in his time
 Terms of peace have been signed by the representatives or the Mexi- can government and the insurrecto leaders. By this agreement all hos tilities are to cease. pending the final negotiations which are to take place in the City Of Mexico. The country has been badly torn by the revolution and aside from the few American mining camps there is little industry of any kind remaining in Mexico. Let us hope that peace will quickly return prosperity
 The report of the secretary of the county taxpayers association this month gives to the public and 10 1 the association some interesting fig ures concerning the public schools of the county. A comparison with statistics from Yavapai county shows ] that Cochise county is educating its children for less than the amount z 4t costs, per capita, m the northern county.
 | BOrings for artesian water are now being made on eight different wells at San simon, in three different wells at Bowie and in as many more at WiIlcox. The chances are just es good for getting an artesian flow in the vicinity of Douglas as in either of the localities where active effort is being made. The Douglas people should come alive on the ar tesian water proposition.

Tucson may expect to lose a few of the communities in Pinal county which are more adjacent to Phoenix. and would also lose a few of the mossback and yellow streak votes In some Of the other counties. as is indicated by the tone of this charae
 ter of publications in southern Ari- zona. But to offset this loss would be the greater gain from the scared and maimed vicinities which cannot forget being run down, browbeaten.

STRIKE WHILE THE IRON IS VET HOT

(Tucson Star.D e.
 The fact that a foraging hog Is caught in your field is an extenuatins circumstance should you desire to resort to summary vengeance. Phoe- nix has recently rsvaged two south ern Arizona counties and the record ing angel only knows how many times the others have suffered from similar depredations. While the re cent offenses are fresh Is the time for southern Arizona to seek ven geance.
 4 few second ch4Idhood organs in southern Arizona, such as the No gales Oasis. have 5efouled their own nests by asserting that Phoenix is nearer the center of the territory than Tucson. Geographically this may be true. but from standpoints of both population and wealth the statement is far off. Tucson is more conveniently situated for Cochise. Gila, Graham. Greenlee, Pima, and Santa Cruz counties at present and in the near future will be more close ly connected with Pinal county by the construction of the Fl Paso & Southwestern railroad
 Phoenix has recently offended all of Pinal county by her hogsish and shortsighted policy in the San Car los irrigation projec. and even though there migh. he some inconvenience for a time, Pinal eouniy will stand by Pima. The Florence acd Casa Grande Boards of Trade have already passed resolutions for the support of the city which has supported tn hem. and for the knifing of the hog vi ich has attempted to detroy their air fields. The recent grab of the terri torial highway route in Cochise coun- ty, by showing a little activity and enterprise, could now enlist two of the strongest adjacent counties in hard fight for the removal of the territorial capital to this city, one of those counties being 80 situated that under other circumstances and perhaps at any other time it would fall in with Phoenix.
 THE IRON Is NOW HOT.
 The recent census shows the fol lowing figures on the population of the counties which might be ex- pected to stand by Tucson.

fence has been that it is the young. ambitious recruit, with a real inter est in the service. who is the best fighter.
 Worst Blow of All.
 T have been in favor of nost O. the legislation proposed in the house for increasing the efficiency of the army. This bill to increase the term of enlistment, however, would be the worst blow that could be dealth 10 the army, in my judgment.
 Tn the first place I do not know that enlistments would be as freely made for a five year term as for a three year term. In the second place, the reenlistments after the expiration of five years might keep in the army men whose places might be better supplied by young and fresh material.
 The Reserve Corps.
 Public sentiment must be tested ont as 10 the formation of a reserve corps. My plan is to retain the three year enlistments. but to provide that those who do not reenlist shall then constitute what shall be known as a reserve corps, subject to call for seven years after the expiration Of active service. We would allow the members of this reserve corps every liberty. They might return to civil life and pursue any vocation chosen, the only requirement being that the war Cenartment keen a rec ord Of their permanent addresses, and that they be subject to call in the event oi national peril. This would mean three years service as an active soldier and seven years Ez a reserve soldier. out of uniform. This is about all the average man will stand, and I doubt that the re- serve corps idea can be worked out with a five year original enlistment
 Put Them On Pay Roll.
 For those on the reserve corps list l would suggest a salary of about sz per month, or ss4 per year. Some foreign natlous uho have adUpief the plan pay more"
 When General Wood was asked if he thought public sentiment would approve the idea of a large reserve corps and the consequent expense. in consideration of the present trend of public sentiment toward arbitration and disarmament. the chief of the star replied emphatically:
 "A dream of dreamers is the talk of arbitration and disarmament"
 General Wood urged increased ef- ficiency on the part of state mili- tia, with an efficient militia, a re- serve corps growing steadily larger
