SIXTY THOUSAND VETERANS

Plans have been approved by the War Department to prepare on the battlefield of Gettysburg a camp containing 54,OOO tents for the O. 900 or 10000 survivors of the Union and Confederate armies on the hfti- eth anniversary in July next. For this event Congress has appropriat- cd $150000, the State of Pennsyl- vania $250,000, and other states will provide for transportation expens- es. The first week of July, 1863, was one of the great results of the civil war As the tremendous strug- gle at Gettysburg ended Vicksburg was surrendered with a garrison of U,000 men, a remarkable military coincidence and climax. On Novem- Der 19 of the same year President Lincoln delivered his brief but i'm mortal speech at the national dedi- cation of the field.
 Each army at Gettysburg had over 10000 seasoned soldiers, and in each the killed and wounded alone mum bered not far from 10000 If the Union Army, instead of the Confed- crates, had retreated from its posit- ion the war would have goue for ward in the spirit shown through. out the four years. Lincoln's ad- dress. is the expression of that re solve and the purposes back of it. fhe country has been reunited and has reached a leadership in the world that more than realizes the future predicted for it fifty years ago The country is glad that so many old soldiers survive to see the famous field again, now a nat ional military park with the old flag perpetually flying and forty-eight indestructible states of an indestruc- tble Union to take part in the cele- bration.

A VETERANS TROUBLES.

Gen. Daniel E. Sickles, who pass ed the age of 90 last year, is charg- ed with a shortage of $23,00O in a trust fund by the State of New York. The public would not form an opinion on this subject without the fullest knowledge of the facts, and under no circumstances would like to see the old general in jail if any bond could suffice to keep him at liberty. The life of this distin- guished man has been a stormy one, yet marked by many forms of patri- 0tic service. He was in Congress f1fty-seven years ago, was again a member of that body in 1861, and for a third time in 1892. As a gen eral he lost leg at Gettysburg. Af- ter the war he was minister to Spain four years. For several years he presided over the New York Board of Civil Service Commission CTS. Perhaps his bookkeeping is in confusion. At all events he is entit- led to an exhaustive defense.
 The widow of Gen. Longstreet has chosen psychological moment to say that Confederate veterans are ready to raise the money needed to satisfy the legal proceedings against Gen. Sickles. The part the latter sustained at Gettysburg is outlined in Gen. Longstreet's interesting and valuable book entitled From Ma masses 10 Appomattox. On the second day of the battle Longstreet's corps struck Sickles' corps and sev- eral hours of terrific fighting follow

movement. One of these, The Illi- nois Opposed to Woman Suffrage" 1" has just favored us with some of its literature, the burden of which seems to be that equal suffrage is forcing new duties upon the already over burdened women of the United Stat es. The association insists that the majority of the American women are opposed to playing part in po- litical affairs.
 There is no disposition to accuse the women of this association of in sincerity in this statement, but it seems impossible to Arizonans. There was opposition to woman suffrage in this state when the sue cessfui campaign for the ballot was being waged, but 1t was made plain that the great majority of the wo- men were earnestly in favor of the movement We cannot believe that the women of other states differ materially from those of Arizona.
 As for the righteousness of the po- litical duties of the average citizen, we fear the Illinois Association is making mountains out of molehills. The average male citizen has never been driven into a fit of nervous prostration because of the tax put upon him by his duty as a voter. It seems ridiculous to presume that the mother, wife or daughter of the av- craze voter would be more overbur- dened mentally by the duties of citi- zenship than the man. It must be that these ladies, because of their lack of familiarity with politics, have an unwarranted awe of the duties of electors and office-holders. This is one reason why the association should be for suffrage instead of opposed to it. Political mysteries-if there be mysteries in politics-affect both sexes Women should not be content to regard political mach inery as a puzzle beyond the com Prehension of their sex. We can assure Illinois that it is not Better still, we can give the assurance of Arizona suffragists, who have had brief but Illuminating experience, that the duties of citizenship are neither too difficult nor too exacting for intelligent American women.

OFFICERS AFTER
 ELoPING COUPLE
iFrom Sundays Daily.J

Quite a sensation was created in this city yesterday when it was learned that Mrs. s. P Hill and a man named Gobel had left the city in each others company, early last week, the woman leaving behind a husband and three children and the man a wife.
 Warrants have been sworn out for the arrest of Mrs. Hill, her hus- band being the complaining witness and Mrs. Gobel also desires the law to take hand in bringing her spouse into the meshes of a crimin- al court.
 The couple have been traced to Phoenix, Tucson. Bisbee and Doug las, and it is the supposition that they are headed toward Morenci or Clifton.
 County Attorney O'Sullivan is ex- erting himself, as we'll is Sheriff Keeler to effect the capture of the elopers, whose illicit relations will be thoroughly investigated after they are once in custody. The woman is said to have preceded her "souT mate" in the flight south by two days, when he caught up and they were masquerading around the towns of the south as Mir and Mrs. Jim Crow.

The high water mark in revenue derived to the county from the office of the Clerk of the Superior Court in any one month since admission to statehood nearly one year ago, was noted yesterday, when Clerk Farley turned into the treasury of the county the sum of $57520 in fees for January. This sum includes pay ment for civil services performed only. The criminal, juvenile court. naturalization and insanity depart ments are un(emunerative, and en- tail a vast amount of clerical work.

UNIONIZING REPORTERS.

A journalistic happening out of the ordinary recently occurred in
 New York, when a newspaper writ CTS union was formed of men work ing for four large Hebrew journals. The standard established for mem bership was the very curious one of ability to write three columns bre. vier type in five hours.
 It seems never to have occurred to the creators of this association that writing an editorial penetrating the subtitle motives of the human heart, and skipping up a story about a dog fight or the weather, call for differing grades of ability and vari- ous amounts of time.
 Complaint is often made that the salaries paid in the newspaper busi- ness are low for the grade of intelli- gence that is required The idea of unionizing newspaper writers has often been preached, but never sue cessfully accomplished.
 The reason is that the public ac- cepts so much shipshod work with out question. It may sheer at the ill-spelled and ungrammatical news paper. But when did good ortho- graphy or syntax ever increase the sale by the newsboys?
 There is however, a growing spir- it of craftsmanship in the newspaper profession, love for the work for its own sake, an increasing tendency to draw brainy and highly educated young men. The more the public buys carefully written, well edited, substantial journals, the more it raises the tone of the profession.
 Where newspapers are held up to these high standards, by a refusal of the public to buy the other kind, the newspapers have to pay good wages in order to attract and hold high grade men. In the long run this is good business, as a substan- tial newspaper is a far better adver- Using medium.
 Every time the public buys newspaper written and edited in an and slipshot manner, it the work of ill-paid men who are really incompetent for the serious responsibilities of journalistic work

THE SOCIAL SIDE OF HOUSE
 HOLD SERVICE.

Clearly the constantly increasing troubles of families that hire ser wants are not a question of money The average servant, when the cost of her board and room is figured gets more pay. than the average wo- man teacher.
 Probably it is not so much a ques- ton of hours. The housemaid of today is lord of the kitchen, and it is with hesitation and pallor that the mistress ventures to suggest amendments. Most housemaids get many afternoons out, and altogether they probably work shorter hours than mill girls.
 It looks to a mere man as if the essential reason why housework is so unattractive may lie in the ques- ton of social adjustments. Some how the girl is made to feel that she accept: social inferiority when she exchanges the factory loom for the dish pan.
 People of wealth are paying stead lily increasing prices for domestic service. They will always be able to get it, by paying housemaids about the price that is received by college graduate who has studied in Europe, for her work as high school teacher.
 It looks as if people who cannot pay according to these lofty stand ards would have to make household service more attractive in other ways. They will have to reduce the hours expected of servants until they are distinctly below those re- quired of factory workers.
 Probably, too, they will have to give servants more attractive quart CTS The time has gone by when the maids will be satisfied to live in cubby holes under the roof un- provided with means of heating. The modern servant will probably re- quire bit of sitting room off the kitchen, where she can have her friends and eat her meals in peace and comfort. It may sound absurd to some. But it will perhaps be the cheapest way in the long run.

GIVING AWAY MONEY.

The national house of representa-
 tives has passed a bill authorizing
 the Rockefeller foundation" By it
 the oil magnate proposes to set
 aside one hundred million dollars
 for the advancement of the human race. Only the income will be used, and one of the provisions of the bill is that all of the income from the huge endowment shall be used each year. No accumulation shall be per- mitted and there shall be no other donations to it.
 While many criticize the methods by which Mir Rockefeller made his huge fortune, there is no doubt that he has displayed much wisdom in ridding himself of some hundreds of millions for the good of humanity He has endowed colleges and uni versailles, founded hospitals and in stitutions for research work. Indi- cations are that he will put mos, of the greatest fortune ever in the hands of one man to philanthropic uses.
 Andrew Carnegie has gone even further than Mir. Rockefeller. He has had at his disposal more than four hundred million dollars, and he has given all of it away except twenty-five millions. and announces that under his direction about all of that will go to the good of human ity when he dies-most of it be- fore he dies unless he should die quickly.
 It is claimed that John D. Rocke- feller made most of his money by means that would not be tolerated today. He ruthlessIy crushed com- petition by means of railroad re- bates and other methods said 10 be less admissible of defense. Carnegie made his money largely by over charging the government on con- tracts for armor plate, and the like.
 But when the final account is cast up, who shall say that the money accumulated by these few has not been put to better use than would have been possible had it gone into other hands? The theory that evil may be done that good may come of it, is not admissible. No one in the future should be per mitted to make money by the meth ods Rockefeller and Carnegie em- ployed. But in their particular cas- es, by their disposition of it, they have gone far toward atoning for the wrongs they did. Possibly that is one of the motives actuating these old men.
