A CURE FOR THE
 SUBSTITUTION EVIL.

A salesman of the National Biscuit Company was lately talking to a gro- cer in Southern City who had laid in stock of soda crackers put up in a cent package and made by a com petitor of the National Biscuit Com pany. The grocer said that the req son he carried the competitive article was because prices on the imitation goods were so much lower that it af- forded him an extra profit, and hat he thought he could work them off on his customers in place of Uneeda Bis cult.
 While they were talking a colored woman came into the store and asked for package of Uneeda Biscuit. To show the National Biscuit Company's salesman how easy it was to substi- tute, the proprietor himself waited on the woman, showing her the imjta- tion package and advising her to take it, saying that it was just as good'' as Uneeda Biscuit. The colored woman hesitated and then said: ''No, sah, dey is wanted for sickness, an my she is mighty particular, an she know what she want, so gib me Uneeda Biscuit hoss.'' This is only one of many similar in- stances that are constantly occurring in the effort to substitute other goods when nUneeda Biscuit are asked for. After all, isn't the best cure for sub stitution the making of first-class goods, and then the advertising of
 them to consumers so thoroughly and persistently that, like the colored wo-
 man, they are afraid to take any risk in buying something else From Printers Ink. sMarch 21st

ments, Rev. w. X. Weaver of
the first Presbyterian church
of Salineville, Ohio, recently
exposed the true inwardness of
the Anti-Saloon League, it's
methods and it's jobbery. The
failure of theleague to account
for the tremendous sums, of
which it has mulcted the
church people of the country,
is one Of the strongest counts
in the indictments framed up
by this minister, who has had
the opportunity to observe the
leagues workings at short
range, and is now displaying
the courage to tell the truth
about this aggregation of high
salar.ied "con artists. " He
writes as follows:
For years | was a supporter
of the Anti-Saloon League and
opened my church to it's money
collectors. Finally, convinced
that they were running q (shell
game, | closed my pulpit to
them.
For years our churches and
Sunday schools have been
pouring hundreds of thousands
of dollars into the Anti-Saloon
league. Yes, money aggregat-
ing millions. Where has this
money gone? The time has
come when the church must
have access to the books of this
organization. The failure to
publish a statement of it's re-
ceipts and expenditures casts
q grave suspicion on the Anti
Saloon League. All other or
carnations published itemized
statements. Any other orga-
nization would be speedily
called to account if: it did not
dos It remains for this body
moving under the cloak of the
church to refuse
"The question is still peril
nent, What has the Anti
Saloon League done with our
money!" A partial answer is
found III the costly mansions
now owned by the leaders and
the hundreds of thousands of
dollars of property owned by
them now, when q: few years
ago they had neither money
nor property; a partial answer
is found in the 5000 and S700.
preachers, who are now draw
ing 81, 500, S., 900 and So, 500
salaries plus expenses from the
Anti-Saloon league a partial
answer is found in the opu-
lence of the Anti-Saloon Leag-
uelawers, who before entering
it's employ, were living from
hand to mouth: partial an
swer may be found in the fact
that the Anti tiSaloon League, on
occasions, deems it necessary
to colonize in order to carry an
election colonizing votes costs
money.
But none of these forms of
graft, nor atlof them, will ac-
count for the dissipation of all
the funds that have gone into
their hands. After liberal al
lowance is made for all these
leaks. there are still hundreds
of thousands of dollars unac-
counted for. Where does the
money go?
Is it being salted down
somewhere for rainy days?
Certainly the church and the
temperance cause are deriving
no benefit from it except what
may possibly come from liter

His Church to League Begging

But someone Will say: IfuS-
tees are appointed by the vali-
Gus church bodies to look after
these funds. Let us see. Any
one familiar with the situation
knows that, as a rule, these
trustees are selected before
hand by the Anti-Saloon Lea
que and then by slick manipu-
lation the religious bodies are
induced to appoint them. They
are selected simply for dunn
mics and easily controlled and
hoodwinked. Who, but dunn
my, would accept trusteeship
in an organization handling
| hundreds of thousands of dol
I lars of other peoples money
and not require that organiza-
ton to give an account of what
it did with the money? Who,
| but dummy, would be an
official of an organization
| charged with crime after crime,
and these charges being car
ried broadcast over the nation
by the United States mail, by
travelling men, and sown to the
winds from the hundreds of
pulpits, and yet see no reason
for calling on the organization
for an accounting? Such trus-
tees prove themselves to be
what they intended to be
dummies more than that.
They prove themselves asses.
Besides, the church has yet
to learn that it does not have,
and cannot have, any control
whatever over the Anti-Saloon
League. The churches only
connection with it is to furnish
the funds for squandering.
This matter has now reach
ed the point where the others
cannot escape responsibility.
The church, by it's silence, be-
comes a partner in the wrong.
doing. IF the church has been
given proof that something is
rotten in Denmark, if the
church longer permits it's mem
bers to be looted and grated
and ravished then the church
is equally blamable. The
church must awake and de
mand an accounting, and in
the meantime withhold further
contributions. We believe, if
the true inwardness of the
ti-Saloon League can be
brought to the light, it will
reveal q condition that will
make a Pennsylvania Republi-
can politician or an Illinois
Democratic legislator turn
green with envy.
An object of the Anti
Saloon League is to crush
other temperance organiza-
tions, especially those that
might want any church fnan-
cial help. Just now they are
turning their batteries against
the temperance work of the
PRESBYTERIAN church. Presby-
terian churches make good
picking. Presbyterian money
that goes to the Presbyterian
work will not go to the Anti
Saloon league. Hence this at
tack. thereby call upon my
brethren of the Presbyterian
church torally to and reinforce
the good work our temperance
committee is doing a work
above suspicion of graft or
wrongdoing. Not another cent

til it is investigated, removal

Mir. Hearst's Hand

Tell the truth, the whole truth" is waited across the sea to Senator Pen rose, Col Roosevelt, John D. Archbold, George B. CortelyOu and all who are supposed to have any knowledge of the relations of the Standard Oil com- pany to the presidential campaign of 1904.
 Tell the truth" urges MT. Hearst, 'Or I will" His admOnition can be taken only to mean that the whole truth has not yet been told and h. knows it and has proof of it.
 The gentlemen concerned are wor- rying, it is said, and perhaps wonder ing low much MT Hearst knows and what letter will be published next from the inexhaustible supply stolen five years ago from the files of Mr Archbold. Those letters have been given to the public at intervals by MT Hearst to relieve the monotony of dull periods The publication of them was begun four years ago. The last pub lication of a month ago gave rise tc the present controversy over cam paign contributions.
 It is feared in some circles now that MT. Hearst is armed with other than the Archbold letters. When one gets into the way of rifling the private correspondence of his neighbors hC would possibly not stop at a single offense.
 Ordinarily we must condemn thi: sort of thing, yet, in this case, public good will possibly come of the lar

ceny That Standard Oil intrigue will almost certainy be laid bare. The parties connected with it by rumor or accusation would probably rather tell what they know than to have MT. Hearst tell it.
 Calling one another liars and mak- ing unsupported assertions of inno- cence establish no facts. Corrobora- tion of each others statements by the members of this or that group who have a common interest is not satis- flying to the public. Somewhere there is no doubt documentary evidence which will illuminate the whole sub ject.
 It may be, after all, though, that MT Hearst is in possession of no such evidence; that he is merely working upon what he suppOses to be the guilty fears of the suspected gentle men. Anyway, there are several emil nent citizens who would like to know what kind of a hand MT. Hearst holds

The World Moves

In his speech at Burlington, Vt, day before yesterday, Col. Roosevelt said that he doubted whether, when he was governor of New York, h. knew what the initiative, referendum and measures of that kind really were" That was little more than ten years ago.
 There are some advocates of these measures in Phoenix who may doubt whether MT Roosevelt really knew what they were at late as two years ago. It will be remembered that two years ago this present month MT. Roosevelt in the course of tour of the country visited Pueblo, Colo, where he made a speech in which he alluded to these measures, not in direct terms but by the way of eau tioning his hearers against "dOctrin- aires" well meaning visionaries" and | demagogues who were proposing new schemes to attract the people. We were then in the heat of a po- IiticaI campaign in which popular leg l islatfon had become the chief and all most only issue. Two Phoenix news l papers seized upon a meager and in 1 coherent telegraphic account of the | coloneTs Pueblo speech, and imagined that he had lent his endorsement to
 the initiative. referendum and recall Day after day he was referred to as
 an advocate of those things.
 This construction placed upon the
 coloners speech was afterward made
 known to him by a Phoenix gentleman
 who met him at a dinner at St. Paul | Minn The colonel replied with char
 acteristic vehemence: Tell them this for me: Any man who finds in my
 Pueblo speech any endorsement of the initiative. referendum and recall should
 be confined in the outhouse of luna
 tic asylum" The colonel was asked ii
 he might be quoted in telegram. H'

 tive
 | That was in September of 191U
 Three years earlier, MT. Roosevelt hat
 dispatched MT Taft, then his secre'
 tary of war, to Oklahoma to urge the
 people of that state to defeat thei1
 new constitution, largely because l contained these measures.
 We have made these excursions int } the not far distant past, not with { : view of reflecting upon the attitude O MT. Roosevelt then or now but merely to show, as was asserted by the Rev erend John Jasper of Virginia man! } years ago that de world do move" an' | that gentlemen even of such fixed anC

An InappIicabIe System

There is some slight agitation going on for the adoption of the Australian taxation system by this state. It is doubtful whether that could be done without an amendment of the federal constitution But if so, we believe it is too big a thing for the state of Ari- Zona to handle. It works we'll enough in Australia and it would work prob ably equally well as a federal system of taxation in this country but to make it effective there must be a strong emergency fund behind it, a much larger one than Arizona could raise now or would be able to raise for years.
 We will suppose that the system is already in operation and that we have several mining companies whose prop critics are popularly supposed to be worth as much as $1OO0OO0OO each As a matter of fact, nobody can say what their market and taxable values are. But we will suppose that they are actually worth that much and we will further suppose that the com panies turn them in for only one half of their value
 What could the state do? It could not raise the money to take them a their listed valuation. It is quite un- likely that it could find a buyer for { $5O,OOO,OOO mine
 Again, We will suppose that thu Southern Pacific and the Santa F, railroads should list their properties a one-fourth of their real value. Tn state could not procure the money t buy them and it certainly could no find a buyer for a dfsjointed section of a transcontinental railroad.
 But the state would be able t cinch the small taxpayer. The mal with a ranch or a city or village hom who should turn in his property fO less than it's actual value would rul the risk, and a very serious one, o DelnS forced 10 sell IL at US llSle valuation. To protect himself h would be forced to assess himself fo every dollar he is worth Then agaiI many a man would not want to se his home for it's market or real value In order to prevent the forcible sal of his property he would have to lis it for more than it's value.
 The railroads and the great minin companies under the Australian sys tenn in this state could throw off wit impunity a considerable part of thei just share of the burden of taxation The home owner, the ranch owner, tn stOckman, the merchant and the sma mine owner would not dare to throy off any part of their burdens Such system would be more negotiable i the end than that we now have an that is sufficiently bad.
