GEORGIA MINISTRIES.

Appearance is everything! You cannot help but be impressed with the appearance Of Richards & Pringle's Minstrels when they visit you city.
 No old hsnd-me-down faded, worn out wardrobe, no sloppy slipshod parade. Instead you will see the hest dressed minstrel parade you have ever seen on your streets. Uni forms of the costliest material, built by the best tailors in the land And the department of these tal- ented boys is always a subject of comment in every city they visit and that includes all the principal ones from Maine to California
 The performance given by this company, unlike many given by their white competitors, is strictly clean and refined Not suggestive word. song. joke or action finds a place In their program
 This motto of cleanliness is dopbs less the keynote of their success for they are packing the tbeatrcs throughout the country.
 There will be a big free street parade at noon, headed by the best minstrel band in America. and a concert in front of the theater at 1880 o'clock in the evening

TAFT, THE
 TARIFF HERETic.

There are evidences of a marked evelusiss in the views of President Taft ss the taria question, and not of kfsd pleasing to the standpst element of his party, if his recent expressions seem what they seem 10 mean. In speech the other day se suotrs with entire approval the famous Buffalo sdress Of Mckinley, whose last words were vigorous protest against the high tarif ten dency:
 The period of exclusiveness is past. The expansion of our trade and commerce is the pressing prob lem. Commercial wars are unprofit- able. A policy of good will and kind " trade relations will prevent re prisals. Reciprocity treaties are in harmony with the times; measures of retaliation are not;
 Saturday, speaking before the Hin eis legislature at Springfield, MT, Taft went long way further when he referred to the present customs law (as related to Canada) as use less, illogical and unconstitutional. Such sweeping denunciation of his own party's creation was nothing short of amazing from the lips of a man who uttered the ill-advised Winona address that started in surgency on its triumphal way through the country.
 That utterance prepared the world for the spectacle of Monday, al most without precident in our poll tics. of the president of one party faith standing on the platform with the leader of the opposing party Champ Clark, as he did before the Pan-American commercial conference at Washington, and endorsing the  declaration of the latter for free trade with the entire American con tinent.
 MT Taft must see that he is cut ting the ground from beneath the en tire protection structure. which he kas fought so hard to keep intaci until very recently. If the people of the United States ever have untram meled trade with the other countrie, of this continent and experience it. benefits, there will not be enougl left. in short while. of the protect i've tarin platform to make a decen bonfire to celebrate the triumph O free trade and falling prices.

The California legislature is known far and near as a boay composed of a majority Of sincere progressives, but it is hardly likely that they will enact recall law which shall apply to all elective officers. including the judges of the supreme court. John D. Works. the new CaliforEia senator. has come oat strongly opposing the recall of the judiciary While there has been some denunciation of Works on this account it is quite likely that his advice will be fol lowed and an effective impeachment law enacted for judges rather than recall. In an impeachment trial the judge would have the opportunity to defend himself before a fixed trib- unal. whereas it would be impossi- ble to submit bis tss<inoay to the

The cattle industry in COchise county Is reported to be in good condition and many inquiries are coming from purchasers who are of fering good prices. The spring sales promise to be large, though perhaps not so heavy as last year when range conditions forced owners to sell and ship everything available. Coehise county produces more range cattle every year than any other in Arizona and the sales last year were estimated at not less than one mil lion dollars.

 Pins. pens. nails. old brooms, bot ties. tin cans and worn-out machin- cry of all sorts are gathered up along the routes by the railway companies and turned into money. Even the ashes are sold or utilized for improv ing the roadbed.
 These things seem small to coin mand the attention of rich railway company? It must be remembered that the railway company is rich largely because it looks after the little things.
 The greatest corporations in the world are not above taking care of even she fractions of pennies.
 Waste forms one Of the most vital questions in economies. not alone for railroads and big manufacturing plants. bgt fo. every household.
 l. is impossible. of course. for any very great sum to be realized in the saving of waste in a household. And yet the usual waste in the home is relatively far greater than that of a railroad.
 We think it mean and miserIy to look after the little things. And for that reason. more than any other, hu, man life is cursed with poverty and pauperism.
 There is less meanness in a poor mans saving a penny than in a rich mans saving a million.

President Taft and congress may give Arizona another chance for statehood by eliminating the recall from the constitution and sending it back for ratification and in that event allow us to enter the Union. To our mind this is the only possible remain ing hope.

Mr.. Clark was being duizzed as 20 tne
similarity OF his views and those OF Presl'

added, Il might Just as well make my
position clear. I'm not running for Presi-

But I'm rot fool enough to run away from

Of the first class postage that finally saves

The publishers snow advertisements on

only one-fifth Of the second class man. ana.

whole deficit. The injustice is aggravated
by the fact that II is peculiarly the maya

saves the postoffice balance sheet by origin

Mr.. Hitchcock instances one magazine

sort OF lons-distance accounting Ia obvious
when It Is explained that the American
magazines cost 10 edit, manufacture de-

The difference made up from advertising
IS given 10 the subscriber in his opportunity
TO purchase much better article than his
subscription price alone will produce.
The postal committee OF the Periodical
Publishers Association have obtained the
exact figures from the books of account OF
the 1--WE standard monthly magazines which
carried the most advertising in 1903. These
figures OF profits are on file In the De-
partment OF Commerce and Labor The aS-

On the other hand, It would entirely wipe

that il is his duty to endeavor 70 secure
from the magazines something nearer 20
an adequate return for the service rem
dered them by the Postoffice Depart
ment, and he Is not to be swerved by
any consideration from what he con-
ceives TO be his duty.
It is a we'll recognized fact that It
costs the government nine cents pound
10 carry second class matter through the
malls. This applies, OF course, to news
papers as we'll as TO magazines. But It
has become the custom OF magazines TO
send the portion OF their editions which
is to be distributed at nearby points by
express or fast freight, while all the
long-haul portion OF the editions Is dis
tributed through the mails at one cent
a pound postage. In the case Of the
newspapers, their zones OF circulation
are limited. The fact ant their news
becomes stale within tvclty-four hours
precludes their circua ion TO any con-
siderable extent at distances which re-
qUire much over twelve hours for trans
portation, so that the administration be-
lieves IL is entirely warranted In making
a discrimination between the long-hauled
magazines and the short-hauled news
papers. Moreover, as Il has always been
the disposition Of the government 20 deal
generously with the dissemination of in
formation, tho administration feels en-
tirely warranted in setting the limit OF
four thousand pounds an edition below
which the rate of postage shall not be
increased, as this gives an advantage 70
the smaller magazines cnd 20 those des-
tined TO become popular but for the time
being struggling to establish themselves
in the magazine world.
All assertions that magazines will be
driven out of business by the proposed
increase Of postage the President re
ceives with extreme skepticism. These
assertions remind him strikingly OF sim
liar contentious made when he was ure-
