a GoNernor,s EYES Opened.

II may be taken for granted. We
suppose, that the democratic majority
in the legislature of Colorado has been
guilty of all the laches charged against
it by Governor Shafroth. You have
been in session 113 days." says the
governor to his democratic brethren,
twenty three days longer than any
session in the last thirty years, and
not one pledge has been redeemed. Is
there any excuse for such failure?
Are we to affirm the saying that the
platform was made to get in on and
not to stand on? He who thinks that
such betrayal can be made without
censure and condemnation little I'M
derstands the trend of events now
taking place in all parts OF the United
States in behalf of rule by the peo-
Pile"

ELEMENTARY SPELLING.

The subject of spelling is attracting
the attention of educationists on both
sides of the Atlantic. 1t would seem
sometimes as though different methods
Of teaching were required for different
types of children, but the following
nature study notes written spontane-
ously by a boy of 9 may bring con-
ISOLATION to despairing parents. for their
author at 20 years of age now spells
well and writes an excellent letter:
THE FUNNEL SPIDER.
1T is a biguish spider and it has
rather long legs. it has also got a
blackish brown body. 1t lives in grass
mosly, of cause 1 mean it bids it's
house in it. it's webs are not like the
ordinary spiders, ii is something the
shape of a funnel, that is the reason
why Mr.. G.. Cthe mastery gave it that
name. we don't think its the write name
but that's what we cald il.

it lives on flys, but l won't be shore,

why. The walk the Friday before last

Material roast is richly deserved
Nevertheless, one is permitted to trust
that Governor Shafroth's opinion of
the democratic majority in the Col
oradO legislature would have been
higher-or at least an expression of
his opinion would have been with
held-if the aforesaid democratic ma
jOrity had seen fit TO elect Governor
Shafroth to the United States senate.
The governor had strong hopes Of
being chosen to succeed the late Sena-
tor Hughes. and that portion of the
Colorado press which is friendly. to
his ambitions has lost no opportunity
to assure the legislature that the best
choice it could possibly make would
be Governor Shafroth Quite natural
ly, therefore, the governor finds that
his democratic brethren have misera-
bly, failed in their duties.

Why the Bad Temper7

Between campaigns, our democratic
friends all agree with US that it is
despicable politics to abuse good citi-
zens simply because they happen to
be on an opposing ticket for the city
offices. They agree with US that the
necessary ordeal of mudslinging is
the chief obstacle encountered when
effort is made to get our best citizens
To accept these thankless offices. Why
is it that the same view cannot pre-
vail during a campaign? Our dem
ocratic friends who are just now in
dulging in the dreary round of mud
throwing are fully aware of the fact
that every man on the republican
ticket is a good citizen, and will be
whole heartedly devoted TO the pub
lie welfare if elected. Then they
make the foolish attempt to mislead
the public? The democratic candi-
dates are also good citizens, and
would, if elected. do their best to
give Phoenix an acceptable city gov
C:LInenL But if any OF them had
any chan>es of election the outlook
Cor them has been materially changed
by The silly efforts Of their spokes-
men to discredit the splendid admins
tration we now have and to discredit
the good men who have permitted
themselves to be persuaded to stand
for offi-e IN the republican ticket.
The city Is especially fortunate when
our best citizens can be induced to
run for office.

Of her father. Her social standing is
unquestionable. But the letter does
disclose-inferentially at least-that
there is no official regret because of
the rule Of the naval academy against
receiving working girls. Presumably
if Miss Beers had been an ordinary"
governess, or a stenographer, or a
clerk in a store or had been engaged
in any one of the many occupations
in which thousands of respectable
girls earn a living, no apology for her
exclusion would have been thought
necessary.
Secretary Meyer viii find that the
American people do not approve of
socially ostracising working girls. He
has already learned that the members
of congress did not receive his letter
with approval.
Both President Roosevelt and Presi-
dent Taft have had occasion to repri-
mand theater managers who excluded
bluejackets that applied for admis-
sion while wearing the uniform of
the United States navy, and the peo-
pie upheld these official rebukes of
snobbery. And it would appear that
Mr. Taft does not like TO hear f
snobbery at the naval academy. At
any rate, the superintendent of the
academy has resigned.

Official snobberv at Annapolis.

a midshipman invited a Miss Beers
TO a dance at the United States naval
academy. Learning that the young
lady was a governess, the superinten-
dent of the academy reprimanded the
midshipman for an infraction of the
social rules observed at the academy.
Somehow the news of the incident
reached the newspapers, and the
numerous adverse criticisms of the
superintendent have created some hot
water for the secretary of the navy.
Congressman Korbly wrote to Sec
rotary Meyer, requesting a statement
Of the facts connected with the
humiliating experience to which Miss
Beers has been subjected. The secre-
tary made the following reply:
April %, 1911.
My Dear Congressman: very
much regret the incident to which you
refer in your letter of the 10th instant
1t grew out of a misunderstanding of
the status of the young lady. The
superintendent of the naval academy,
in a letter received today, explains his
position as follows:
The superintendent very much re-
grets that there was a misunderstand-
ing Of the status of Miss Beers by the
person bringing this matter to the at
tention of of the authorities, and also
regrets that the incident should have
been exploited and enlarged upon by
the press, which has undoubtedly been
a source Of great embarrassment to
the young lady in question. The
superintendent win be glad to make
such public apology in reparation of
this mistake as may be most accepta-
bic TO the young lady and her family
The department has directed that
Captain BOwyer, the superintendent.
address a letter of apology to Mr.
Beers and his daughter. Believe me,
faithfully yours
&C. Y. L. MEYER"
This letter from the secretary of
the navy does not disclose all the
facts which have become public-it
merely undertakes 60 excuse the
superintendent action. One of the
facts which led to the regrets of the
superintendent is that Miss Beers is
the daughter of a professor at Yale,
and is acting as a governess in a
family of warm friends of herself and

The Return of Reyes

General Bernardo Reyes is on the
ocean. homeward bound. after many
months of exile in Europe To be
sure, he was sent abroad under the
polite fiction that it was necessary
for him to study the military sys-
TENS of the European powers. but he
had no decisions on the question. He
knew that his absence from Mexico
was ordered because he had presumed
to be a receptive candidate for the
vice presidency against Don Ramon
Corral. then General Diaz' chief
favorite. He knew, also. that if he
declined the European mission resi-
dence in Mexico would be unpleasant
for him, TO say the least.
Having gone away discredited, Cen
eral Reyes returns on the crest Of a
wave which may easily carry him into
the presidential chair Of Mexico with
in a year or two. For many things
have happened while he was studying
the military systems of Europe" from
the vantage point of Partisan cafes
for one thing. Don Francisco Madero
six months ago held in such contempt
that he was sent to Jail for presum-
ing TO be a candidate for the presi-
dency. has during the Reyes absence
rY,+f
which has shaken Mexico to its very
foundation stones. and this despised
leader of a rabble now has the honor
Of awaiting at FL Paso the govern
ment's Overtures of peace. As an in
cident Of the instruction Don Ramon
Corral has found the presidential face
turned from him. and in turn has gone
to Europe, probably never to return.
1t was necessary TO send Corral away
because the insurrecto leaders hated
him worst of all
Thus Reyes comes back to take the
post of secretary OF war. and to find
his dearest enemy, Don Ramon, sent
away in disgrace. Six months ago
nobody-Reyes least of all-would
have believed that the sun of Vice
President Corral would set so soon.
1t was in the cards that Corral should
succeed Diaz
Reyes ought to be thankful to Ma
dero. for Madero alone has put the
government in such straits that il
has been found necessary to send Cor
raj away and recall Reyes. But one
man now stands between the ambi-
lions of Reyes and the presidency.
and that man is Don Jose Yves Lii
mantour. secretary of the treasury.
And Limantour is old and lacks Reyes
popularity with the army Madero
cannot be considered a rival, in case
peace is declared-he cannot be a
rival for awhile, anyhow; only an
entirely successful revolution would
have put him at the head of Mexico's
political affairs. But Reyes ought to
remember that it is Madero who has
enabled him to return to power.
And if Madero is wise he will quick
ly conclude a peace with the commits
siOners Of President DiaZ. So far,
Don Francisco has shown great abil-
ity. But his reputation will be put
to the supreme test in the peace
negotiations. If he refuses to make
creditablc peace. he will soon find
that he has to contend with real
military skill. for Reyes is some
soldier-he is, in fact, the one great
soldier of Mexico today, if we ex-
cept the venerable president.
