0LD-FASHIONED SWEET HERBS
lavender, Thyme, Rosemary and 9th CTS That Give Forth odors Both
 Fresh and invIeorating.

l spent most of my schooiday holi days at my grandmothers place. in Yorkshire, England. where many of the customs of Queen Anne's time re
 main unchanged. So to me lavender and herbs seemed indispensable in a selfrespectiug household, and. as soon as I owned a garden. they were in stalled.
 At gran6mother's sheer muslin bags. filled with lavender, thyme and rose mary, were kept in every cupboard bureau drawer and chest. Large jars, filled with rose leaves and nigaonette, all the herbs and nltny spices. were slowed in the sitting rooms and halls the lids were removed for about half an hour each day. after sweeping and dusting were done, so that a faint indescribable perfume perreated the whole house. and was most delight fuI.
 Even physicians agree that sweet odors are beneficial and valuable as disinfectants. Those who have never experienced the delight of sleeping between sheets redolent of sweet herbs have before them a joy that will not soon be forgotten. Punk sticks and pastiliies have a positive odor. pleasing for a time. but it be comes tiresome; heTb.l odors are fresh and invigorating Kate V. St Maur. in the Woman's Home Compan- ion

CMesa Free Press.)

The trade made by Phoenix on the territorial highways smacks of the Bible story of Esau and the mess of of pottage. Notwithstanding the fact that Phoeni draws her very conner cial life from this valleg, she has. 50 we hear. granted the nothern part of the state the east and west high way to get the north and south high. way.
 They realize that if they have the north and south highway, that prac- ucally all users of the east and west highway will turn south from Pres. colt to Phoenix, and that city vii. get them coming and going, and to Gehenna. with the South Side Gas usnaD. They cheerfully gave up the idea of the east and west highway via Globe. Roosevelt, Mesa, Tempe, etc, because ph0enix herself would be1sure of them all anyhow the other way.
 Go to it, Phoenix. 'the worm will turn,' however.

NO CONVENTION
 ARIZONA DEMOCRATS
Circular Letter by Chairman J. P, Dillon of Territorial
 Committee
PRIMARY LAW IN WAY


 There will be no democratic ter ritorial convention whi9h had been urged by many leaders, for the pnr- pose of formulating 2 platform for democratic candidates.
 Chairman Dillon has inst issued the following letter in whica he states his belief that such a convention however desirable would be contrary to the spirit of the primary law and the amendment made by Ordinance No. 2:
 Tn reply to suggestions made in various parts Of the territory that a meeting of the territorial demo cratic central committee be called. or that the committee call a terri. torial democratic convention, to pro mulgate a platform for democratic candidates. 1t is fitting that the s;- tention Of the democrats of Arizona should be called to the fact that snch actions would be contrary to the let. Fer and the spirit of the Arizona di- rect primary law. This direct pIi- mary law. together with the amend ments made to it by election ordin- ance No. ? will govern the approach ing primaries. It is democratic measure. demanded by the last terri torial democratic platform and en- acted by a democratic legislature. Ii Aeeps the pledge of the democratic party to the people of Arizona that future nominations and the drafting of platforms shall be under the di- rect primary system as formulated m our Arizona law. Every candidate Is expected to make his campaign for a nomination on his own platform. Al. ter the nominations are made in the primary. the successful candidates with the party committee elected in the same primary is what Is desig- mated in the law as the party coun. ell. This freshly chosen party coun. cil makes the party platform To at tempt to forestall this party council by convention or central committee action in advance of the primary would be a plain repudiation of the policy of the democratic party to keen to the letter the pledges it has made 70 the people of Arizona to enact sound progressive legislation ana live up to it.
 The demand for a direct primary law was a demand to abandon the convention system Of making plat forms and nominations, and in favor of the direct primary system of doing 10th.
 Having enacted tho direct primary law the democratic party should not violate either the letter or the intent of that law. Therefore, the democrat ic organization cannot with propriety aid any movement to nullify one of the most vital provisions of the law.
 Very Respectfully,
 J. P. DILLON,
 Chairman. territorial democratic central committee.

NOT HER IDEA OF A LADY
Rebuke for Smashing the Olshes Called Perth the indignant seorn
 of the Servant.

A housewife who lives fn suburb of New York feels keenly the rebuke she received from a servant who made a brief visit to her home recently. When the question of employment came up and matters of history were asked. the maid said:
 -Oh. yes'm. been workin' in fne families. l won't work in any family what ain't good one"
 There is seemed necessary for the housewife to give assurances on her part The bargain was made and the girl was installed. The first day every thing went well; the second there was a crash in the kitchen and the mis tress found that two plates from her prize set were in bits. She was re luctant to make breach in diplomatic relations thus early and let the incl. dent go with a caution. Next day there was another disaster, involving a cut glass tumbier. and several lesser things. This time she spoke rather sharply end gave warning that in future such breakages must be paid for Next came large and highly prized platter. When the time came to pay the weekly wage the mistress deducted the price.
 You aint goin' to ask me to pay for that. Is you?" asked the girl with great surprise.
 Certainly" was the reply. You should be made to pay for the other things also"
 There was fine scorn in the ser wants manner and voice.

MARK SMITH.
IArizona Democrat

No democratic candidate can ever reach the United States senate from Arizona by abusing Mark Smith, and we suggest to Mr. O'Neill that he call off his organs the Gazette Mark Smith has lived too many years in Arizona, is respected by too many men to permit ANY MAN to defame him or his public record and hope to secure support of the democrats of Arizona for So doing.
 The. Gazette recently, in a little, nasty way, sought to prejudice the public against Mir. Smith. and cited RaIph Cameron as an example of industry" and A MAN WHO DOES THINGS. This silly prattler also refers to New Mexico getting na- tional appropriations while Arizona was neglected. The truth of the matter is, New Mexico never re- ceiyed any appropriations of any consequence. Albuquerque got a public building the same year that Mark smith secured the public building for Phoenix. New Mexico came into the Union the sane time that Arizona was admitted, but the fact remains that Mark Smith was always true to Arizona and her ey. cry interest, he was bending every energy to prevent Peralta Reavea from stealing the lands of the Salt River valley.
 Mark smith did more to secure the passage of the present state hood bill than Ralph Cameron and all the other Individuals who are posing in Arizona as inc men whr
 enacted our statehood bill.| As al evidence Of this fact we refer ouI renders to Senator shively's speeci before the senate committee on ter Iritories. The Democrat will publish

TO SAVE OLD MANUSCRIPTS
Japanese SIX. Thin and Transparent. Is Passed en Them and Pre-
 serves Them.

ln the preservation of rare manu. scripts and books an additional safe guard has been found in Japanese silk
 Its use has removed a fear tha, long existed fin the minds of librarians that the rare old manuscripts would dry up and return to their original ele ments. Fortunately. however, the employment of a silk of extreme thin ness and transparency has settled the question Of the life of these manu scripts for the next two or three hun dred years at least By that time, perhaps. some ether method may be discovered.
 This silk is thinner than the thin nest tissue paper. the threads being finer than spider webs. 1t is pasted over the manuscript so firmly that ii wards off all dust and afr. and yet is so transparent that Il does not inter fere any more with the appearance of the manuscript than would an ordin ary pane of glass It strengthens the manuscript so that the danger O. handling Is reduced to a minimum.
 For some time past the United States library of congress has had in hand the examination and protection of all its old manuscripts. employiRf for the purpose the silk mentioned Unless one be an expert in old manu scripts. he is unable to recognize the fact that the silk has been used.

TAFT OUTLOOK NOT PROMISING.

The mathematical view of President Taft's chances is not a very encourag. ing one for republicans. In the cleo ton of 1910 the democrats carried twenty-seven states which will have in 1912 under the new apportionment S25 electoral votes. The republicans carried twenty-two states having 206 votes.
 In order to secure his election Mir Taft will have to recover at least six ty votes from the states which went democratic in 1910. Not only that: he will have to retain his hold upon at least seven states which went repub- lican but in which there has been a rapid development of the insurgent sentiment. These states are Kansas, California, Idaho, Oregon, South Da- kota, Washington, Wisconsin. In these states there is pronounced and grow ing hostility to the Taft administra. tion. In the event of a La Toilette bolt it is"as certain as agy thing in the fu- ture can be that he would carry the votes Of those states with him. Should the campaign be complicated by no third candidate, the democrats would have more than an even chance in each one of these states.
 There are three other states which are debatable ground. Illinois, Michi. gan, and Minnesota. In the event of the nomination of Governor Harmon to oppose NIT. Taft. Ohio might req. sonably be counted for the democrats. Also with Harmon as the democratic nominee the chances of the recovery by Taft of lost ground in the east would be greatly Iessened. There are four eastern states. New York, Massa- chusetts, Connecticut and Maine which would probably swing back into the republican column in a contest be tween Mir. Taft and any other candi date than Governor Harman. That oi course would give the republican candidate more than the needed cleo toral votes.
 But it is equally probable that who ever may become the democratic nom inee there would have to be deducted from this recovery the votes Of most if not all the seven insurgent states mentioned to say nothing of the re

This realization will be come more acute as time goes or. Our re- publican friends, who seem to have no contests for the state offices, view the primary with equanimity, if not with positive cheerfulness.

THE MISSION OF MRS GRAY.

One Mrs. Gray of Washington. D. C." is problem which the people of Phoenix, and the Casa Grande Valley are unable to solve. She flashed into the capital as the defender of the rights of the Indians. Yet MT. Drosius, attrorney for the Indian Rights As sociation who happened to arrive on the scene about the same time. being asked about Mrs. Gray. said he had never heard of her. She got even with him by calling him a grafter.
 It was reported that the woman was a secretary of a subcommittee of a house committee appointed to investigate charges against the Indian service and it is stated that that re- port has been confirmed. Her position, however, would not seem to give her power to conduct personal investiga- ton and certainly not in the manner in which she has gone about it.
 She called a meeting of an irr:sa- tion association in which the Indians have some interest and she denounced without limit the missionaries on the reservation, one of them being the venerable Charles Cook, a worker among the Pimas for a generation.
 b appears that the people of the country infested are not now taking Mrs. Gray seriously, though they are regarding her with mingled curiosity and indignation. !,

To the Editor of the Review. Sir:
 desire to correct an error in the report in your issue this morning of the democratic meeting last night.
 You state that NIT. Neale inadvert- emily departed from the expressed purpose of the democratic club, under whose auspices the meeting was held, not to endorse any candidate before the primaries by declaring Mir Ives to be a 'pre-eminent' candidate"
 This statement was not inedvertent, nor was it made as representing the club, but was the expression of the personal opinion of the speaker, who because he was known to be friendly to Mir. Ives was requested to intro duce him. Yours truly,
