SOME of the facetious newspapers of Arizona are trying to intimate that many of the newly enfranchis- ed sex will refrain from exercising their recently acquired prerogative because they will refuse to state their age to a registering officer. They will not have to do so. They can do as has been done for years by number of vain old laddy- bucks in Santa Cruz county, who register always as "ovet twenty one years of age"

 THE state of California asked ex- tradition of a resident of Douglas named Megatrell, wife desertion be- ing criminal offence in California. Megarrell made showing that he had made his home in Douglas, and had asked his wife to join him there, sending her money to do so, but that she refused to come. Very properly Governor Hunt refused the demand fol extradition. Pity that Megarrell cannot turn the tables and have the woman extra. dited from California for deserting him.

WEDNESDAY, at Ph9nix, before the United States Court, Judge Sloan on the bench, Emilio Campa, the rebel commander wanted by the Mexican government to answer to charge of murder. was dis charged from custody and extradi- ton denied. The ground for denial was that there had been failure to comply with the regulations governing such cases as provided in Section 10 of the treaty laws between the Uni ted States and Mexico, the failure being in the application, It would seem that those officials in Mexico who make up the demands for ex'

THERE is some talk about re- habilitating the Republican Party. Those who make the most talk about it seem to be possessed of very hay ideas as to how the job is to be done. The only way is to bring back into the fold the four million voters who deserted the party this year. And how will they do that?

CHEAP MONEY FOR FARMERS.

One of the great needs of the present day is some available method for financing farm opera tions, assuring supply of cheap money on long time. The recent conference of governors at Rich mond, Virginia, took up that sub ject and gave it serious and earn est consideration. A plan was devised which is to be submitted to the legislatures of the various states with drafts of legislation for adop- ton, that it is believed will solve the problem and become productive of much good.
 It is we'll known fact that in Europe and some of the states of the eastern part of the American Union, there is d great deal of money that is seeking safe invest ment, the holders being willing to pan their money on long terms d at low rates of interest. The
 proposed is to provide new tenn of state banks under uni
 m laws. They will be financed

 under laws sufficiently elastic enable them to issue bonds for yrt or long terms upon American ms in lieu of mortgages. It is sn planned to list the bonds Ider state supervision, on. the arkets of the world. Hon. Myron
 Herrick, American Ambassador
 France, addressed the confer. zee, and the gentleman stated at were the proposed plan put to effect, the thrifty people ot rance and other countries O. urope would buy the bonds read v at low rates of interest.

 CT difficulty of having lands prop erly appraised would be obviated for the purchasers of such bonds by the joint action of the banks and the states, acting under we'll constructed laws in order to protect the bondholder from loss.
 The effect of the proposed sys- tenn upon the advancement of agriculture and horticulture in the United States, and particularly in the Far West, would be electrify- ing. In all localities are many parcels of fine land which have been acquired under the liberal homestead laws of the U mite d States by thrifty, industrious men, who are hampered in development of their holdings by the need of sufficient capital. They are obliged to seek employment in the service of others and at other callings, skimping and saving their hard earned dollars to buy the neces sary tools, implements, seeds and plants, cattle, horses, buildings, etc, and are years in bringing to a fruitful productiveness land that with little capital in hand they may make productive and valuable right at the beginning, and put the owners in comfortable condition within few years, instead of com polling them to work half life time to reach that desired result By bringing to them cheap money on long time the proposed system will advance rapidly the develop ment of their lands, and the en richment of the localities in which they reside. It will work grea benefits to individuals, to commu mites and to states. A feasible ap plication of the proposition is tc be wished devoutly.
 The details of the plan are to b. worked out yet. Probably ther' will be enactment in the variou states of laws instituting bank ? under strict state supervision, sucl banks to accept farm mortgages, a about eight per cent interest, per I haps seven, each of which is to b 5 approved by the state, and ol 5 which the state shall have the frs 3 lien; then under the guarantee c ] the state bonds will be issued b T the banks to the extent of such out : standing mortgages at three or fou ] per cent, which bonds will be sol t to Eastern and European investors f The money realized on the bond f would pay all cost and hand F some margin for profit.

PARIS, January ia doctor here

and seems to be making a fortune
with it. The rush of patients to get
hammered by him is stupendous.
The house in which he has his con-
sulting fiat is completely blocked and
the line often stretches downstairs
out into the street The police have
to take special measures, as in the
case of a benefit at a theater.
The landlord is now seeking an in
junction to have his too popular ten
ant elected. The house has become
uninhabitable for all the other ten
ants The staircase is impossible
and the lift is monopolized by the
patients. These are described as a
"motley crowd, belonging to all
classes of society" The blind, the
lame and the halt, children in arms
invalids on stretchers, the aged and
infirm walking with crutches, fill the
house all day. All come to have
their "rheumatics" hammered out OF

Soldiers Cry for Mothers.

ROME, January 15.-Letters from

Cyrenaca received by relatives in
Italy are at variance with the official
dispatches from the commander in

One letter from an officer to his
father in Rome says that the Italians
no one occasion ran out of ammuni-
ton, while the Turks and Arabs,
well supplied, succeeded in killing
100 of the Italian soldiers. 1t was
noted that his had been officially re-
ported as an Italian victory. An
other letter from a private says that
in one battle regiments of grenadiers
and bersaglieri were nearly wiped
out of existence.

Aston BUYS Paper.

LONDON, January 10. 49, William
Waldorf Astor has practically COM
pleted negotiations for the purchase
of the Globe, London's Oldest estab-
lished evening newspaper, from Cyril
Harsmworth, brother of Lord North
cliffe, and unless a hitch occurs this
American-born resident of England
will be in control of no less than
three organs which, throughout their
large and in some respects important
record, played no inconsiderable part
in influencing English public opinion.
The other two newspapers already
owned by Astor are the Pail Mall
Gazette and the Sunday Observer
The power behind the throne and
the force which is directing the Aston
money, is John Louis Garvin, jour
nalist, who has played highly i'm
portant role in English politics, and
who, as the Richelieu or Mazarin of
Astor, may raise his master to dizzy
heights of power and influence.
Astor's ambitions, if common re
port be true, are not of an epoch
making texture. He has no desire tC
found a dynasty. The end he has in
view is merely the foundation Of q
family, an English family, that is, Of
which he should be first earl or pos
sibly first marquis. Dukedom, as his
experience in English life has shown
him, is outside of the realms of prac
teal politics, In the first, or ever
the second, generation, an earldom
or even a marquisate, is not beyon'

and Verdun.
Large guiding signs, visible from

he hates the smell of violets but loves
the fragrance of an onion.
The facts are in themselves so in
teresting that they need no exagger-
alton. After the shot he lay uncon-
scious for a fortnight, and when he
regained consciousness he had com
pletely lost his memory, and could
not even remember his own name.
Gradually his memory returned, and
he recollected what happened in his
childhood. And now he remembers
everything up to the third day before
the shot His general health is good,
and his temper also.
His sensorial nerves are destroyed
and his sense of sight is distinctly
damaged, He has, for instance, lost
the power of seeing anything at the
side of him; he Is Obliged to looH
straight at an object He has also
partly lost the capacity of reading
and writing and the power of com
bining letters.

A Swedish soldier was shot a few
months ago in the head, and half his

OF which he lost part of his mental

not a horse, that he can hear whis
per but not cannon shot, that he
can understand English but not

of his name but not the second, that

HeIne? No, SAYS Kaiser.

Heine? No, Says Kaiser.
BERLIN, January lS-Germans to-
day are divided more sharply than
ever into two camps-admirers and
denouncers of Heine. Kaiser Wilhelm
will not have a statue of Heinrich
Heine in all his broad domains. Dur
ing the past few weeks some inhuen-
tial citizens of Dusseldorf, where the
poet was born in 1897, have privately
sounded Prussia's Minister of the In
terror, Herr van Dallwitz, but Herr
Won Dallwitz sternly answered in the
negative.
There is no law, he says, to forbid
Dusseldorf erecting statues to any
poet, painter, soldier, historian or
other notable native but there is a
law which forbids melting to public
disorder, and if anyone in any Ger
man city raises a monument to Ger
manys sweetest lyrist uproar will he
the first result.
Which, put briefly, means that
Heine is still a bone of contention;
that Kaiser Wilhelm is still the poets
sharpest critic, and that millions Of
Germans back Kaiser Wilhelm up.
This is a literary curiosity. When
Germans talk of Goethe, Schiller, Her
der, Wieland or Grillparzer, they do
it calmly, but when anyone utters
"Heine" their faces become red and
their voices hoarse. 1t suddenly ap-
pears that every German is surely a
Heinephile or Heinephobe.
When half Germany says, Let us
erect a monument to our sweetest of
singers" the other half retorts, For
get him, basest of atheists" and Kai-
ser Wilhelm counts with the latter
half. So while Goethe, Schiller, Her.
der, Wieland and Grillparzer have
statues or busts in some part of Ger
many, Heine has none, and to Ger
mans Montmartre Cemetery and
Bronx Park, New York, which both
have Heine monuments, are a re-
proach.
They are indeed likely to remain
so, for Kaiser Wilhelm says: There
will be no Heine monument while
am alive" Here Kaiser Wilhelm and
Herr Won Dallwitz shelter themselves
behind German sentiment. When they
say the new Dusseldorf proposal
would cause a riot, experience shows
the fear to be we'll based.
When, a little while ago, Stuttgart
proposed a monument, the students
of Gratz declared that Stuttgart was
profaning German soil, and a man ap-
propriately named Helmuth. Heine
was first to protest. For several
weeks a furious discussion ragged,
which showed that the real obstacle
is not so much anti-Heine sentiment
in the people as the animosity of the
Hohenzollerns to the poet who de-
rided and despised them.
