Simpson tied for 2nd best.
G cLAss:-Wm Bryan LIST best
Sarona Lee, and Sorah Parken-
son tied End honors.
D CLASS. Frank Simpson 1st

The school is largely a rehec-
ton of the home. The homes
that nurture good citizens are
ruled by love, reason, kindness,
and intelligence. Such Children
are easily managed in school be-
cause the yoke of obedience and
restraint is easy for them to
wear. It is next to impossible
to govern a school without suff-
icient restaint that all may be
studious and orderly. Their
progress depends upon an order
ly effort. -P A. Grove

it to be made public through its read
 ing in the convention by Judge Baker
 of Maricopa county-December z. Neither Webb nor any of the so-
 called conservatives, proposed to
 follow the advice of Senator Bailey
 They were quite willing to exhibit
 their atrociously bad taste in asking for the advice of the democratic lead
 CT of the United States senate, mak- ing his advice public and then re- fusing to follow it. Webb and Baker did, to be sure, talk feebly for a
 separate submission of the recall
 provision, but that was all. They frankly stated their determination to ignore the Texas senator's advice as to the controverted portions of the constitution.
 Immediately following the reading of the telegram from Senator Bailey, Parsons of Cochise-Parsons. the so cialist leader; Parsons. who had been in the territory scarcely long enough to find his way about-jumped to his feet and launched into a vitriolic at tack upon the great Texas senator Senator Bailey was no democrat, de- clared Parsons, or at least he was no democrat of the Parsons Arizona brand. Arizona democrats wanted none of his advice. and so on. and so on. And every sentence from the socialist Parsons was greeted with tremendous applause from the floor and from the galleries.
 And what of Webb, and Cobb. and Baker? Cunniff of Yavapai. classed as a socialist. did make perfunctory announcement that he did not approve what Parsons had said-on account of expediency. presumably. But Webb. and Cobb. and Baker sat mute, as did every other democrat in the cham Der. Not one of them had a word of protest against the Parsons indict- ment of Senator Bailey. nor did any other democrat.
 And thereupon the convention, while hypocritically pretending to be for the referendum "on principle" pro- ceeded to refuse. by a humping ma jority. to go even so far in the line of following Senator Bailey's advice as to give the people of Arizona a vote on the recall
 Is it any wonder that Senator Bailey washes his hands of the Ari- zona democracy? All the letters that Arizona democrats may write him now as to their regrets" and so forth. will have little weight with the Texas senator. we fancy. until they can show him that democracy in Arizona has been divorced from so- cialism.

HE GOT IT.

When Richard Olney was secretary of state he frequently gave expression to the opinion that appointees to the consular service should speak the languages of the countries to which they were respectively accredited. It is said that when a certain breezy and enterprising western politician who was desirous of serving the Cleveland administration in the ca pacity of consul of the Chinese ports presented his papers to MT. OIney. the secretary remarked: Are you aware. MT. Blank, that I never rec ommend to the president the appoint ment of consul unless he speaks the language of the country to which he desires to go? Now, I suppose you do not speak Chinese?" Where upon the westerner grinned broadly "1f Mir. Secretary" said he. you will ask me a question in Chinese I shall be happy to answer it. He got the appointment.-Huma Life

Dainty little maiden with the soulful eyes. Still you seem unworldly. still iron meanness free: Have you kept from growing fashion ably wise Are you still the soul white saint you seem to be? Men are leering at you-men whose blood is cold You are hearing women bandy ribald jests: You are touching elbows with those who have sold Virtue for the jewels gleaming or their breasts. Sin is smiling at you from the print ed page. Honor is belittIed. wanton mock its worth: Shame is made attractive on the gaudy stage. Infamy paraded to arouse your mirth. wickedness is Haunted everywhere you turn. Vice. arrayed in splendor taunts you shamelessly: Dainty little maiden. have you failed to learn Are you still the soul white saint you ought to be?

The Coronation

The forthcoming coronation of the
 king of England is taken as a text
 by the Boston Globe for some sar-
 castle comments upon the costly and
 senseless mummery of the middle ages which will distinguish the ccre-
 monies. The Boston paper figures 1 that the enormous sums which the Icoronation will cost would provide some measure of relief for the hordes of Englands poor. There are some
 10 million people in England so poor
 that they are barely able to provide
 the necessaries of life, and there are
 million women working in pursuits of industry at an average wage of s1.75 a week. If the expenses of the coronation were diverted to equal distribution among these poor peo- pie, the gift to each individual would
 doubt be most welcome to each of them But on the other hand. the money foolishly expended to make a Ispectacle of the crowning of the king will he distributed. after all. among
 the people in one form or another Thousands of shopkeepers, hotels and restaurants. cabmen. and the vast array of industries which cater to the demands of a great crowd. will bene- fit from the coronation. and every dollar expended upon the ceremonies will go to somebody in trade The English people are more than pleas ed to make a gorgeous spectacle of the coronation. and nothing would dispIease them so much as a failure to have coronation festival. Since it is their business and not ours. perhaps it would be just as well if we let them go ahead

the lead of Texas. he said, in the enactment of progressive legislation. The absurdity of his argument for the initiative and referendum and re- call is at once obvious when one re- members that Texas adheres to the representative form of government and has adopted neither of these fads. Texas has been able to accomplish all the reforms of which boast is made. by sticking to the American system.
 Of course. the whole subject is of interest now only because it will be some time before the people of Ari- zona can forget that the demand for unnecessary innovations in govern ment led to the loss of statehood.

consider books from the amusement viewpoint
 But a little library. growing each
 year as ones tastes develop and the
 world of literature and art broadens. means a bigger and more useful man. It means a man who comprehends the problems of life more thoroughly than he did the year before and if means that his vision in all directions is wider and surer.
 Some one has said, Books are the spiritual presence of the best in our race" and that is true. In no other way can one come into communion with the men and women who have lived and wrought in all ages. Good books preserve the best thoughts of manhood and womanhood. and must. therefore. exert a potent influence up on all lovers of life. just as the liv ing presence of dear friends eXerts an influence upon us.
 But this is only. accomplished when men and women who collect books read them with patience and love, the pa tience that seeks the motive and the love that makes assimilation pleasant and a project of affection. One who collects books merely to fill library shelves will never know the influence or the rare enjoyment of communion with the choice spirits of the world.
 It is because sitting in our own homes far from the narrowing influ- ences of a care weighted world. we can hold intimate association with the great minds of the past. it is because sitting beside our own hearth we can enjoy the quips and philosophy of Shakespeare, or that of Dickens or Thackery. or the poetical fancics of the Brownings. of Shelley. of Wordsworth or the other poets, or walk in ancient Greece or Rome with the sages and philosophers of those times. that the habit of reading becomes the divine pleasure of life. and the accumulation of library the inspiration of the pur- poseful man or woman.
 Some one short time ago asked Virginia Gildersleeve. the woman who at the age of B has become dean of Barnard college, if she deemed a col lege education absolutely necessary to success in life, and she replied that she did not. that it is quite possible for a man or woman to become we'll educat ed through reading and travel.
 And there is the fine point of inspira ton for persons who have been denied a college education. Read. but read Travel but travel intel ligentiy Assimilate your books and when you travel, travel with your eyes so wide open that they drink in the meaning of all they see.
 It is folly for one to keep himself shut up in his library and seek to know life only as reflected from the printed pages. He who wishes to know life as it is reads and works in a world of men and makes his reading apply to men, and men illuminate his

All Loss and No Benefit

Colonel Roosevelts article in the Outlook. on the initiative and refer
 endum and recall. moves the Port
 land Oregonian to protest that in oregon there has not been shown even the small amount of merit that the former president was inclined to give the initiative and referendum in his summing up of the many dis advantages and the few benefits at tached to these schemes.
 The Oregonian briefly mentions some of the bad results that have been brought to light already:
 The brightest lights of the Ore gon bar cannot agree on the inter pretation of the amendment designed to reform procedure on appeals to the Supreme Court, and the Supreme Court itself has asked lawyers in general to submit briefs to aid it in reaching a conclusion.
 "On the amendment designed to give cities home rule in controlling the liquor traffic the attorney-gen- eral has reversed himself. the lawy CTS employed by the liquor interests do not agree with him, and a ruling by the courts is to be invoked.
 "A bill to establish a branch in- sane asylum in Eastern Oregon has provoked a bitter political row and has resulted in severe charges against high officials.
 "A fisheries bill of direct interest to about per cent of the people of the state was adopted and will de- stroy for the benefit of sportsmen with hook and line canning indus try in which s1OO.O0O has been in vested
 Tn the amendment taking from the legislature the power to regulate tax ation. oraning is given for every tax faddist to present his ideas in the form of state or county measures We have gone deep into the "minutiae of legislation" and are preparing to go deeper.
 What Mir. Roosevelt has mentioned as the possible bad results of an un- restricted form of the initiative and referendum have come to pass in ore gon. Experience here has proved the soundness of his conclusions.
 But let MT. Roosevelt beware. The Oregonian has been preaching the same doctrine. It has advocated the of the initiative and ref erendum so that the processes may be applied only in matters of i'm portance and solely as weapons of or defense against. the Iogis- lative thwarting of the public will. And The Oregonian has been roundly accused of holding enmity for this principle of government"
 And. as the Oregonian and other fair critics of the oregon plan have frequently pointed out, the few good laws that have been enacted in Ore gon by the initiative and referendum have been duplicated in a dozen states that got the same laws through their legislatures.
 MT. Cunniff of Yavapai county. a member of the late constitutional in his speech before the City club of Phoenix a few nights ago made a ridiculous argument in excuse for the course taken by him and the socialist leaders of the con vention in persisting in forcing into the constitution the few provisions that are objectionable at Washing ton. He wished Arizona to follow
