The license tax which the new

the county $4,000, to which is to
be added the town tax amounting
probably to $4,000. We fear this

trouble gathering the crop, be-
cause, as general thing, the trees
have three crops on them. They
bloomed at three different times;
consequently, the fruit will be

of dress she wears, but not one OF
us can truthfully say that her dress
es are not becoming and graceful
and that she does not look bewitch-
ing in them. If she appeared in
slit skirt with only red rose pen
dant below her chin and a dia-
mond-studded garter, she would
look perfectly stunning. A merry
twinkle in her eyes and scintil-
liant smile on her face would be
all that she would need to make
us fool men fall down and worship
her. And we would be fools and
heather if we Gid not.
We submit it to an unprecedented
world, particularly to the mandar-
ms of China and the nabobs of
India, that any pretty woman land
all of them are pretty dressed in
any of the modern styles, slit
skirt or diaphonous, hobble skirt
or sheath gown, looks a thousand
times more graceful and attractive
than any one Of US male idiots
dressed in evening costume Of
stove-pipe hat, spike-tailed coat
and the horrible trousers which
ridiculous fashion compels us to
wear.
Those trousers-Good Lord! Is
there anything more diseraceful in
human appareIs Call 'em breech-
es; that's what they are. They
show a mans most hideous deform-
ity. They are simply .pretence
at hiding nakedness and have no
more grace in or about them than
TWO joints of stove pipe. They
are really indecent and should be
banished from respectable society.
No man who wears these abomi-
nable breeches has any right to
criticise anything that woman
sees fit to wear. We ought to
learn some sense from the sheath
en- Chinee" of the upper class and
adopt style Of clothing that is
graceful and gorgeous. On the
contrary, we men are bond-slayes
to the European idiots who persist
in prescribing for us the most un-
graceful and ridiculous styles of
apparel to be found outside of
Darkest Africa and the South
Sea islands.
We will except the king of Eng
land when he is giving audience to
all the foreign ambassadors and
the glittering mobiles of his realm.
On such occasions, he wears
magnificent robe, no breeches or
short-tailed coat, and he looks.
like the foremost white man of the
world. Exception should be
made also of the Archbishop of
Canterbury and the Pope of Rome
who wear graceful and respectable
habiliment is. The pagan aristo-
Gratis of ancient Rome looked hand
some and noble in the toga. Why
can't we copy the styles Of these
eminent exempIars? Because we
haven't sense enough, nor have
we the grit, the self-assertion of
independent individuality.
Then let us quit scolding our
women for wearing dresses that
are graceful and becoming. Let
the women wear anything they |
please, if it's only smile and a
diamond engagement ring.

"As a matter of fact the bill passed by the house of representatives if passed would be very bad for the country It is to be hoped, however, that important changes will be made in this bill before it passes the sen ate.
 T quite agree with Frank A. Van derlip, president of the National City Bank of New York, that very good thing would be to have Central bank, the stock of which would be open to the public to bury. MT. Van derlip's suggestion is that of having an institution which really is in ad- vance of what I thought is our fin ancial development. If we can have a bank outlined along the comprehen- sive lines suggested by MT. Wander lip it would be of immense profit to our whole country.
 You have a wonderful city here, in the making. Since I was here two years ago Phoenix has grown re- markedly and shows every evidence of future far beyond the probable contemplation of your own people Frequently an outsider can see things that are hidden from insiders be- cause of the iatter's proximity being too close for proper vision, and as an outsider I can clearly see a very large, prosperous and beautiful city, : in the Phoenix of the future. We have absolute knowledge that there will be a great influx soon to the southern part of this country from South European countries. The climate of Arizona is very much like that of the best part. of southern Europe, hence the psychological tend ency would be for these south Euro peans to come here and I am sure they will find everything here that they can possibly hope for and cer- tainly will get far richer rewards here ! than they can possibly get by stay ing in Europe. California too is gO- ing to fill us with people and that
 will enlarge the market for the pro- ducts you raise here.''

matters. The one thing of special in
tcrest was starting the season May "a

was taken. The question rests entirely
on whether the manager can arrange
series of games-such as would war
rant getting together team month
ahead of the regular league season.
There Will be another meeting one
week from tonight and in the mean
time Manager Burns will see what he
can do toward arranging a series of
games, will report and definite action
will be taken then. Mr.. Burns said
that by next week he expected to have
the full list of players. He has re-
ceived many applications and is hard
at work in making selections.
The directors discussed briefly the
prospects of a six-team league, the two
mines that are likely to be added be-
ing Greenfield and Newport, \. H. The

have a six-team league and will do all
they can to bring this about. They
