The State Fair

Here is something that many people are not aware of, and that is that those NhO attend the Arizona state fair will see the best and greatest state fair held this year, anywhere in the United States west of the Rocky mountains. At first glance, that may seem like a broad statement with an insecure foundation but it is none the less true
 There will be many more and bet ter horses in Phoenix during fair week than have been gathered any where else in the country east or west of the Rockies this year. This will be the one meeting place of the stars of the eastern and western cir cults.
 Probably no other state than Colo rade has collected such mining ex- hibit as will be seen here.
 The educational exhibit, judging by those of the past and taking into ac- =, will be equal to that of any other state for the schools of Arizona have been pronounced by those competent to judge, to be unsurpassed.
 Our agricultural display. of course, in volume. will probably fall behind those of largely agricultural states like California and the states of the northwest But though lacking in quantity they will not be lacking in quality. The same may be said of the livestock exhibit.
 In the number and character of the attractions which the commission has provided, we believe the Arizona fair will excel any other. We think it is safe to predict that there will be a bigger crowd on the fair grounds here than any other state fair in the west has called out.

What Makes Trusts

In his speech at Topeka Col. Roose- welt replied. we believe for the first time to the charge that the trusts multiplied enormously during his ad- ministration. much more rapidly than they have before. or since.
 This fertile period, the colonel points out, was most prosperous one and in which all sorts of enterprises were stimulated, the growth of trusts as we'll.
 This is not an answer to the real charge, that the trusts demeaned themselves more improperly during that period and that weak as the law may have been for their regulation, they were permitted to violate such parts of it as might have been en- forced. Nor has it been shown where in the laws we now have for their regulation is inadequate. All that is necessary appears to have been done by the legislative branch of the gov ernment. There is certainly no need for further action until the executive

No Matter How You Spell 1t

A Massachusetts simpified speller, so-called, meaning a person who would spell English words differently. writes to the New York Times" that every friend of simplified spelling will support Wilson as a reliable friend of the reform" If he knows so much about the future as this he ought to go into the stock market and make his fortune. "I say this. . he adds, not because I have heard anything in particular of Governor Wilson's attitude on it, but because he belongs to a class in which friend ship for simplified spelling is gen. eral.' It is thus made evident that his faith is equal to his desire. which is very generally the case.
 Ripping up the English language is not so bad as ripping up the Consti- tuition of the United States or ripping up the protective tariff. but it is in line with these two reforms" What this Massachusetts man really means is that he is going to vote for Will son anyhow. This is within his rights, but there was no need of making so many words about it. If the pro- tective policy of this country should be made to give way to the English system of a tariff for revenue only, with it's low wages and direct taxes, it would make precious little difference whether we noted the results by writ ing 'mty dinner paal" and 'soop kitshun" or in the customary way.

branch has exhausted all the means provided for it.
 Under the Taft administration, these means have been employed with some vigor and effect. It was first under the present administration that there was any recognition of the truth enunciated by Governor liar mon of Ohio some years ago that ''crime is personar'; some man must be guilty whenever any law is vio- lated The impersonal trust can vio- late no law
 The prosperity which has prevailed almost continuously since the first election of Mckinley, undoubtedly contributed in some measure to the growth in the number and size of trusts, and to that extent they must be regarded as signs of prosperity. These symptoms can never be re- moved without removing the cause any more than we may remove or alter the signs of health or the symp-  toms of disease If Mir. ROosevelt's theory were wholly correct and the trusts are the products of prosperity and nothing else. we could change the character of the trusts only by changing the condition of the coun- try with respect to prosperity.
 But there were other causes of the growth Of trusts. AIr. Roosevelt is in error in ascribing the sins of the trusts to prosperity: or the organiZ- atiOn of trusts with the object of shining to prosperity. Immunity from punishment had much to do with the conduct of those trusts known as bad trusts

SOUTH METHODIST
 CONFERENCE

The Central Methodist church will be the scene less than three weeks from this morning, of the annual gathering of church men of tho southwest which is known as the Los Angeles annual conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South.

 The week will be one of activity for the methodists here. It is GUS tomary for the members in the city entertaining the conference to open their homes to the visiting preachers, 1 their families and the delegates, and Phoenix will be no exception to the rule. The next two weeks will be taken up by the local members of the connection in getting their homes ready for the visitors
 By no means the least important part of the gathering will he the l Epworth League convention of which Charles Martin of Santa Ana, Cal !, l is the president, but EustaCe Alder son, chairman of the league board of

R. P. Howell, conference missionary secretary, who is also secretary of the conference.
 The churches of the city generally extend the courtesy of their pulpits to the visiting ministers. Every eve ming during the conference there will be preaching at Central church.

 Most of these. evidently; could only have served for the hunt, the house. the kitchen of warfare; but there were others mingled with them, eN- ceptionally big and heavy whose use remained unexplained until the dust of ages having been cleaned from the wall of the grotto, five life sized horses, cut in the rock in a free and living workmanship were revealed.
