 Quite fortunately. the outburst had no effect other than to hImiliate al least portion of the aud ence and to betray grave lack of understanding on the part of the school official
 Whatever else the people of south ern Arizona may have to fear they need not view with suspicion or marked apprehension the spectacle Of railroad doing it's best to help boost agriculture or aid settlers in Gnding homes in this state on land
 ch has lain idle for centuries. Nor need an educator show public dis courtesy to a railroad official who had just asserted that about 90 per cent of the agriculturally productive land in the United States lies in counties traversed by railroads which haul tha, produce to market
 As a matter Of fact. Mir. Barnes did hot over-state the truth. The Depart. nent of Agriculture in a recent bulle- tin states that "of the total farm area Of the country. 92.3 per cent IS in counties through which these roads 1 run: of the total number of farms, l g.. per cent are in such counties
 The departmental bulletin aiso states:
 "of the total Of ss,e92 miles of road operated in 1910 in the United states exclusive of Alaska and the island possessions, 1s1,44s miles. or I6s per cent were operated by com. panies making organized efforts to increase the number Of farmers or to 1 iromote agricultural education"

SHALL Bis5Ee HAVE HIGH SCHOOL BUILDING?

HlsH SCHOOL BUILDING?
 This is the question which the Bis. bee board of school trustees has sub mitted to the citizens and school pa irons for consideration and expres- sions are called for, either through ihe press or by communications ad- dressed direct to the members of the school board.
 The Review is willing to start tho discussion ball rolling on this pro rosed new school building by express ing the opinion that Bisbee ought to provide as thorough and efficient school facilities. requirements ana eonveniences as any other city in the state. All other principal cities in the state have provided high school build. ings and many towns with less than ten per cent of the population or wealth of Risbee have built credit able high school buildings. BisbeeI win not be m the front rank in the matter of school facilite es iuntil a high school building is provided here. The Review knows of no req scr why this building should not be provided; in the past it has been hard for the people of Bisbee to agree on many things effecting and about our public schools, but these disagree ments we do not believe were the re- suit of any disIoyalty to our schools or from a desire to see Bisbee occu- Fying rear position in the progress and procession of public education. On a proposition to provide a high school building now it would seem that there is no danger or room for division of sentiment or desire and that our people may be expected to come together as a practical unit on the question which has been pre- scented by the local school board.
 Of course there can be no high school building in Blsbee unless the people of Bisbee so des. re. as the money required to build IL would Haye to be secured by a bond issue ana this could not be done until the bonds are authorized by the people.
 To our mind the school board has approached this matter in the proper way by inviting consideration of their proposition and it's discussion by the citizens and patrons of the school It will be easy to thus learn the sen tinent Of inc con rinnity. If that Sch tiraent is favorable then Bisbee cah have school building whch is Leeded, according to the opinion ot the school Goard. and of which we Will all feel proud. If the proposition | is rejected then ;he school boards of the future must get along as best they can without il.
 Tn the meantime the Review in' vites a discussion Of the proposition in it's columns.

MANY SENATORS TO
RETIRE NEXT YEAR
Which Party Will Have Con
troll of the Upper Body
After March 4?
National News Association

WASHINGTON. Nov. 5.-Despite
the fact that the constitution has dis
tinctly provided for the election of
Senators by the various state legisla-
lures so that they may be exempt
from popular elective influence, the
political uncertainty today prevalent
has been mirrored in the Upper House
where the terms of 81 Senators ex-
pire on March 4. 1913.
Eighteen OF these retiring Senators
are Republicans and thirteen Demo-
Gratis. In addition TO this there are
two vacancies to be filled. one from
Colorado, caused by the death OF
Charles l.. Hughes, Democrat, and
one from Illinois. caused by the I'M
seating OF William Lorimer, a Repuh-
Hcan
The normal majority of the Repub-
lican party in the Senate is but six.
The continued power OF that faction
therefore depends upon the selection
of Republican state legislatures on
! November <.
| Those who have been trying their
hand at writing the political future up
on Democratic campaign literature
claim that this change will take place
! They base their hopes on the election
of Democratic Senators from Colorado
which will choose two, and from Del
aware, Idaho, Kansas. Massachusetts.
Montana, Nebraska, New Jersey. Ore
gon and Wyoming. Such a return
from the various state legislatures
would give the Democrats eleven ad-
, ditional members in the upper house
and also a safe working majority at
least between March 4. 1918. and
March 4. 1915.
| 1t is by no means certain that the
Democrats can accomplish this fea;
however. In fact the Republican po
litical oracles are confident that they

Chicago May Equal Its Reg
iStratiOn.
(NationaI News Association


CHICAGO, Nov. 5.-An unusually
heavy vote marked the early hours of
balloting in Chicago today. When the
polls opened at 6 o'clock voters were
lined UP and waiting to cast their bal
lots. Returns from various precincts
from both north and south side wards
showed that in some cases nearly a
fourth of the registered vote was cast
before 8 o'clock The polls opened at
6 o'clock and will close at 4 p. m. The
total registration for the city is AL
TIA, according to the figures of the
commission on elections. The manag-
ers of the three parties early today
predicted the total vote would be we'll
above the 100000 mark and might
come close to the total of registration.
Weather conditions favored heavy
vote. The day broke warm and calm.
The Northwest wind predicted by the
weather bureau failed to materialize,
and although it was cloudy it was
pleasant out of doors.
Under a recent decision of the SUI
preme court voting is being done both
on machines and paper ballots. Only
a small percentage Of the vote was be-
ing cast on the machines.
In the Fights ward where the per-
centage of foreign voters is very high
a heavy vote was cast. Throughout
the city it was reported that there
were strong indications that tickets
were being scratched.
Women took a prominent place in
the work about the booths. Most of
them were Progressives and were

And Some Of the Causes That Tend 70
Make Them Harden.
"a man is as old as his arteries"
is a common saying among physicians,
which has come to be taken up by
their patents. DR.. Herbert c. Clapp
of Boston in the New York Medical
Record comes forward with an article
declaring that worry is a common
cause of arteriosclerosis, the harden
ing of the arteries is not infrequently
considered as one of the customary and
proper accomplishments of ripe old
age-sometimes even Of middle life
it is not universally so, and that even
at fourscore years, as proved by
autopsies, the arteries have been found
to be perfectly sound. He cites the
case of the champion old man. Thomas
Parr Of England, who died at the
advanced age of 152 and whose AFTER
les were found by Harvey-who dis
covered the circulation of the blood
on examination after death to be per-
fectly sound.
DR.. Clapp says that within certain
limits the arteries do not harden be-
cause they are old. but are old because
they are diseased. Among causes for
arteriosclerosis he gives overeating. ex-
cessive muscular strain and excessive
brain work. Worry produces func-
tional disturbances and undue blood
pressure. This brings with it arterio-
sclerosis. He holds that most wor-
ries are INDUCED in without an ade-
quate reason. therefore. and cites the

OLDEST PRINTER IN
STATE DEAD HERE
r: 0. Dormer Passed Away
This Morning from Senil-
ity, SO Years Old.

Robert o. Dormer, aged 88, pioneer
printer and newspaper man, died at
3 o'clock this morning from senility at
the home of his daughter, Mrs. Mary
Roney, 302 North Ninth street.
Had strength and life been granted
him a few days more, Mr.. Dormer
could have cast his fifteenth ballot in
a presidential election. He cast his
first vote in the race that resulted in
the election of President Taylor in
1848.
Born September 81, 1924, in Clinton
county, Ohio, in community which
gave many prominent men to the ma
ton and state, Mr.. Dormer saw the
nation pass through crucial tests and
rise to prominence.
He was printer by trade and was for
many years employed in that capacity
on the Palladium and the old Tele-
gram. When Daniel Surface was edi-
tor of the Palladium, Mr.. Dormer not
only helped set type but also contribut-
innate friend of the late Isaac Jenkin-
son, and was identified with the Pal
ladium while Mr.. Jenkinson was own
err and editor.
1t was an annual custom of Mr.. Dor
mer to drop into the Palladium office
on his birthday and set a few lines of
fine type to demonstrate that he was
still in practice. Two years ago he
set the last line in this office. Since
then the infirmities of old age pre-
cluded the attempt. He was for many
years proof reader on Dayton news
paper.
At Washington.
Mr.. Dormer was a resident of Wash
ington when the Civil war broke out
He had been appointed to a position
in the congressional post office. He
saw the Inauguration of President Blu
chanan. Later he was transferred to
the patent office. He attended the in
augural exercises when Lincoln took
the oath of office
He had the distinction of being the
Oldest printer in the state of Indiana.
He was one of the charter members of
the local typographical union.
Until a few weeks ago he was able
to be about town. One of his daily
habits was to set his watch at down
town iewelry store and then verify it
again by the clock in jewelry store
on North Ninth street.
His last trip to the city two weeks
ago marked the last time he left the
house. He took to bed yesterday. He
is survived by one daughter, Mrs.
Mary Roney and w. B. Dormer, both
of this city.
The funeral will be held Thursday at
2 O'Clock from the home of Mrs. Roney
at 302 North Ninth street. The Rev.
Mr.. Lightbourne officiating. Interment
at Earlham cemetery. Friends are re-
qucsted to omit flowers.
