Senator Watson and Chiffon.
I Congressman Davis, Brown and
Hamilton expect to go to Philippi
this week for the Blue and
Grey" celebration Of the fiftieth
anniversary of the battle of Phil
ippi, the first battle of the civil
war. They have obtained the
promise Of Senator Bailey, of
Texas; Congressman Sherwood,
of Ohio, and Judge Prouty, of
Iowa, to attend the same cele-
bration and deliver addresses.
! Both the Senators and Con-
gressmen have tried to assist in
making the Phillip celebration a
success. 1t was difficult to get
speakers from here on account
of the work in Congress and the
dislike of Senators and Con-
gressmen to make addresses in
hot weather, but they kept at it
till they secured promises from
those mentioned and a number
of addresses Of an interesting
character are expected.

Although protesting a desire
to have the primary election bill
passed at this session, Senator
Scott has not shown any perso-
nal activity in it's behalf. Tele-
grams from Washing ton and
Charleston have stated that he
had gone to Charleston to take
part in the fight for the bill but
as a matter of fact he has not
been out of Washington. His
support of the primary election
plan seems to be like it was
year ago when he protested that
he was in favor or a primary and
permitted his closest political
friends TO go out to the State and
work against one. He is assum-
ing credit for favoring pri-
mary election bill but failing to
do any thing to assist in the pas
sage of such a bill. But for his
opposition there would have been
a primary election law long ago
in West Virginia and a spe cial
session of the legislature to pass
a Republican primary measure
would not have been necessary.

To what extent this evil could be held in check is, of course, prob lematical; conclusions can be drawn only from observation of the expe- rience of other communities which attempt to enforce prohibition. It is only sure that the traffic would be of considerable proportions at best.
 What protection is thrown around the boy in a town in which the boot logger is abroad in constant search of victims?
 The class of citizens we have men, toned are asking this question. They are just as anxious to guard the boy from the temptations of the liquor traffic as the most jealous advocate of prohibition can be. Their ques- ton and their doubts are not an swered by denouncing them as bad citizens and by chasing them as 'saloonmen."
 As these citizens look at the mat ter. it does not necessarily follow that if we destroy the places where d disease is quarantined we thereby get rid of the disease.

has been aroused. Nothing could be farther from the truth. Public mal- ice has been aroused; envy, covetous- ness, selfishness and dishonesty have been aroused; mendacity of the lit erary and political demagogue has beeR aroused; but the public con- science hasn't even been touched. A mans conscience talks of the wrong deeds of that man, not of other men. Is the public indulging in a sense of guilt? Well. hardly! When a mans conscience is aroused he thinks of his own misdeeds and he is disturbed by a sense of his own guilt. Has the public been thinking of its own misdeeds? Has the public, oppressed by a sense of personal guilt, hung it's head, and humbly and penitently en- deavored to reform? The question answers itself The public has not been thinking of its own misdeeds, but of the real and alleged misdeeds of Hartman and Rockefeller. The public has not been thinking of its duties. but of its rights. This may be all right, but let us do away with the lying canting phrases and see things as they are"

Colonel J. F. Wilson.

News of the sudden death of Colonel J. F. Wilson at Prescott will reach the people of Arizona with a shock. His intimate friends had known for year that he was in failing health, but nobody was pre- pared for the sad tidings published yesterday.
 A long residence in the territory, and an honorable record at the bar and as a delegate to congress from Arizona. had made for Colonel Wilson a veritable host of friends. While he was a partisan democrat, his per sonality was so likable that his popu- larity was in no sense bounded by party lines. The people of the terri tory took a pride in the fact that he, like nearly every other man who has been entrusted with public office in Arizona during the modern period. was a man of the strictest integrity; and they also were always pleased to think of him as one of the most loyal citizens of the territory.
 Cut off at an age which in these times is regarded as still young. Colonel Wilson has left a place the vacancy of which will not soon be forgotten. He had a big soul. May he find nothing but happiness in the world to which he has gone.

us if it cost a couple of thousand dollars more than the whole show would take in. It goes through our town every year on it's way to the city. and it's up to us to get it first
 All we have to do is to write to headquarters and find out how much the show people would have to be guaranteed. They'll know there are lots of people in the surrounding country who don't go to the show in the city but who would come this distance.
 If we get together with them pretty soon they will book our town a day ahead of the city and be glad of the sure thing our agreement will give them. Then all of us will have to fix up our stores for the biggest sales We ever had and follow the ex- ample of the city in getting our fall goods and new stuff on hand in time to give it a good display. Why we could even get the money our people have been spending on railroad fare and meals: and what they don't have money to buy that day they will save up for and come again, for they will see in our stocks the things they have the notion they must go to the city to buy.''
 The town got the circus-and the business men got the business. For week beforehand the stores offered ticket free with purchases amount ing to $10 or more The newspapers offered a ticket with each three sub scriptiOns, either new or renewal. Everybody who had anything to ad- vertise worked something about the circus into the copy.
 Most of the stores doubled their sales forces for the day. but let one half of them off for the afternoon the evening. It was the record day for business in that town.
 When the town wrote to the circus people the latter came back with a fixed price for coming. They were afraid to take chances on getting a big enough crowd to make it pay. So they added a fair profit to their es- timate of expenses and named that as the sum for which they could be secured.
 This rather stumped the town at first. but the people soon got together and by donating services or cutting the cost of supplies that the circus would need they made up part of the sum. The town council gave the li- cense free and man donated the use of grounds for the tents. So that the town was able not only to pay the fixed price out of the circus re- ceipts but actually was 5000 to the good

The Public Conscience.

Nothing is heard more frequently nowadays than the statement that this is an era of aroused public con science. The Kansas City Journal makes an incisive analysis of the facts:
 "The stock boast of the muckraker is that he has aroused the public conscience The muckraker and his thoughtless followers are very fond of the phrase. Many good people have the impression that m the last ten years the public conscience really

The Mormon Answer.

Many of the cheaper magazines have been devoting for several months a considerable portion of their space to the Mormons of Utah. The writers of these articles lay stress on the all legged fact that polygamy has not been abandoned, but is quietly en- couraged by the church authorities. To these articles and the argument advanced that there should be an amendment of the federal constitu- ton forbidding polygamy, President Joseph F. Smith of the Mormon church made reply in his sermon at Salt Lake City the other day, at the eighty first conference of the church.
 We ought to obey the rules of the church with regard to marriage said the aged president. Eleven hun dred marriages were contracted fere last year, not in accord with the law of God As announced time and again at these conferences, plural marriages have ceased in the church. There is no man authorized to per form a plural marriage. We have been doing all in our power to stop this We have been doing all We can to trace the men who are performing these ceremonies. It is hard to locate them. but when we do find them We will deal with them.
 With respect to the idea proposed by some to induce the congress ot the United States to amend the con- stitution so as to give the federal government power to regulate plural marriage. SO far as I am concerned. have no objection whatever to such an amendment Neither has any oth- CT Latter Day saint. Let the states petition the congress to regulate the whole subject of marriage in the United States and it will be god send to the people everywhere.'
 In reviewing church statistics, Presi- dent Smith announced that during the year just past there was one divorce to each 5000 church mem bers. as compared to one divorce to each HOO souls in the United States.

City Politics.

Although the city election is still some distance in the future. we ob- serve that some of our democratic friends are trying industriously to interest an apathetic public in their Icontention that Phoenix is sadly mis- governed.
 There would. of course. be no apathy on the part of the public if
 there were any real ground for be- lieving that the city is in unsafe or incompetent hands. But nearly every body happens to know that the pres
 ent city administration is about as clean and competent as we could hope to have from the very best men that could be selected to succeed our present officers. Then why make a
 change? is the mental attitude of the average citizen.
 Our democratic friends are vainly trying to arouse excitement by point ing to the expense of taking care of
 the streets. To take care of the
 streets is an expensive job, but mo-
 body has ventured to suggest that it would be good economy or good for
 the city in any way to neglect the streets.
 And expensive as the job is. the present administration is managing
 to handle it without going into debt This is not an easy task. to be sure,
 for it is a constant struggle to make
 income cover outgo. But the present administration is managing to keep the city on a cash basis. whereas nearly twenty years of democratic rule left the city with a floating debt of one hundred and fifty thousand dollars in unpaid warrants-prac- tically all of this debt created by eX- penditures on the streets. We had
 to meet this debt by issuing interest bearing bonds.
 We are not strongly inclined to in
  but certainly our democratic friends
 do not expect that their amusing ef-
 forts to mislead the people will go unnoticed.
 In the present admirable manage ment of the city's affairs. the repub- lican officials. while in the majority, have had the cooperation of some democratic officers also. There is absolutely no occasion for any repub- lican to vote against any man on the republican ticket, and because of the excellent record which has been made | by Mayor Christy and his associates in the city government, many level headed democrats will insist upon voting for the republican candidates.
