 "Thc Secretary of tho Club wds present to report the proceedings The very heart Of the question in volved in the complaints respecting the mail service was immediately and cnergetically gone into. With the ad- vice of MT. Cassidy a line of conduct and procedure was promptly outlined and acted upon. A telegram was for warded to the Hon. Mark Smith, an ether to Carl Hayden, Member Of Congress, and still another to the Second Assistant Postmast1- Gen. eraI. These telegTdms cost $1470 but this expense was incurred ic preference to the expense that would attach to the writing of letters or suggestion of MT Campbell. who pointed out that that which it was desired to achieve vas of such i'm portance that the extra expense should not be allowed to have undue weight. Mir. Campbell further men. tioned that there was something about a paid telegram that indicated business was meant by the senders. All ccncurred in Mr. Campbelrs sug- gestion and accordingly messages were sent.
 The matter of mail service having haeH attended to MT. Campbell and myself resolved ourselves into a com mittee Or publicity, in pursuance of your further order to that effect. Del. icacy and tact characterized MT. CampbelTs preaching of that subject,

Sturdevant is the editor and manager. Mr. Cassidy was asked to vacate his office during the pend ency of the interview. This Mir Gas sidy did with the utmost grace and good feeling, remarking. he expected to vacate before long anyway"
 MI. Sturieyant was graciOusiy and sincerely receptive to the overtures of your committee on the subject of cooperation with the club in every oossible way. He assured the cub that 1t would be a real pleasure and the constant aim Of himself and paper 70 give the widest possible publicity .o the proceedings of the club. He expressed himself as being glad that Che club had frankly expressed itself, as being desirous of the cooperation and aid of his paper. in as much as it acknowledged the value of ad- lertising in general and the value of advertising in the Bisbee Review !n particular.
 Mir Sturieyant was so very cour teous and agreeable in the whole mat. ter, that your committee believes it would not be impolite to cause a let ter of appreciation to be addressed to him by the Board of Directors as a whole.
 Respectfully Submitted,

 THIEF IN A CROWD

Officer Al Kempton last night ar- rested a Mexican named Aurelia Gar cia, who stole a horse and saddle from John Gleason. at Gleason, yesterday morning. The arrest was made on Brewery GuIch.

 The officers were notified here of the theft early in the day and Officers Brakefield, Graham and Cannon had been oH~the lookout for Garcia. Brake field rode part way from Gleason with Garcia and when he asked the Mex

EVERY DAY REFLECTIONS
Class Distinction.

Class distinctions are never to be overcome by one class rising up against others, or by one class being kind and good to others nor by rail- ing at all classes in general
 Glasses can be abolished only by our ignoring them.
 Every victory the laboring class wins over the endowed class is as bad as a defeat.
 All movements for the welfare of-the poorer classes do as much harm as good in the long run.
 The only sentiment that goes to the root of the matter and really cures the class evil is that sentiment which insists upon looking on every man and woman as a human being, and con siders every human being, rich or poor. ignorant or cultured, decent or crim- inal, as endowed with the common heritage of hopes, fears, virtues and weaknesses.
 There is hardly any legal injustice, commercial privilege or social insan ity that damns some persons without reason and exalts others without req son. but can be traced to the accept ance of the class idea by the commu- nifty.
 The class spirit is the most ancient honorable and deadly foe to human happiness.
 Nothing but successive generations of determined men who insist upon justice. sanity and truth, can avail to overcome it.

OPPOSED TO RIDERS.

After experiences in national affairs with the disastrous effects of riders Attached to important bills, and aften
 dmes the most important appropria-
 ion bills, it is particularly interesting 10 note that President Wilson's atti-
 ude thereon is in accord with the Jeveral times expressed opinion of MT. Taft. who even opposed them to the point of applying a veto to measures which otherwise would have received his signature. It is a practice which Should receive the strongest dIscour- feet which such innocent looking and often unnoticed pieces of legislation Ire in a. position to do. During the past year by attaching the seven year tenure of office clause to the appropri- ltion bills a harmful attack was made hpon the civil service rules but it was fortunately discovered and eliminated.
 Such Legislation which takes the form of riders is generally that which Mil not stand coming before congress ior investigation and considera ton hpon it's merits. Efforts are made to sneak it through by attaching it to bills which must be passed for the maintenance and opera ton of the gov ernment and it often results in the holding up of necessary legislation and protracting the sessions It is to be hoped that President Wilson will main tain his stand in this regard and that riders will meet with such opposition as to eliminate the practice.

cuRA,s AMNESTY BILL.

Cuba apparently fails to realize the good services which this country per formed in protesting against the pas sage of the amnesty bill. one of the first duties which fell to the lot of Secretary Bryan. The administration Is soon to change on the island and President Gomez will give way to President-e -elect Menocal The bill ap- parently was meant as a handicap to the new administration. which prom fses to be If a different character from the present. By the bill the release of 5000 prisoners was provided for throughout the island, meaning the turning loose of a large number of dangerous characters and a menace to the business interests, in cities and on plantations.
 With such an instrument aimed at the welfare of the island it is for tunate that Cuba is still under the advisory wing of this government. The law promised no end of trouble to the island and the new administration and by it plans were being laid for the return to power of the present au thorities against whom hard cam pafgn was waged. The releasing of the convicts would mean endless law lessness for Cuba and they would be under obligations to those who sought their freedom. The law was also planned to thwart any move oIl the part of the administration which takes office in May. to carry out their prom ise to search out and punish those who have been taking part in the alleged extensive graft operations which have prevailed. For the sake of maintain ing a government adequate for pro- lection of life, property and individual liberty this country acted and it should ba of

LIPToN,s CHALLENGE.

The possi bilities of another yacht Yace for Americas cup with Sir Thom- Ns Lipton as the challenger rests upon Ahe disclosures which will be revealed Ghen his challenge is opened this week and the result of whatever subsequent conferences which may be necessary Sn the arranging of the details. Sir Ehomas has n1aintained a desire to have the regulations concerning the lace modified in a number of ways which would operate to his advan- Rge in sending a challeng ging yacht 1cross the Atlantic, but it is not prob lble that there will be any material Noncessions from the terms as set forth iy the donor of the cup. It must be Aealized that in issuing a challenge bor a cup the contest for which is gov )rned by certain stipulated rules, both he challenger and the defender must meet the requirements, and that it Is poor sportsmanship to endeavor to dictate terms which are in violation thereof.
 He apparently is reconci1ed to the construction of yacht which can be sailed across the ocean. but his un- derstood desire to- restrict the race to B seventy five footer is beyond the bounds of reason. There is nothing to bar the challenger constructing his Eacht on those lines, asmuch as it s stipulated that yachts from 65 to 10 feet can compete. but it is i'm proper to hold the defender to any limit for the purpose of favoring the particular design of the across the water builder It is to be hoped that 10 such demand will spoil the chance for a big event in 1914

MANUFACTURERS BUSY.

One of the indications of the excel lent condition in which the country was left by one administration for the other is the remarkable activity on the part of the manufacturers of the coun- try which Is shown by the statement of imports. Not only is the total value of manufacturers materials imported in January and the seven months end ing with January greater than the cor responding period of last year, but an examination of the quantities of the various articles of this class shows 9 marked increase in the quantity inn ported. For the month the imports of all raw material for manufacturing showed an increase of eleven million while for the seven months period an increase of ST million was shown.
 This increase is not due to an in crease in the value of the imports for that they are larger not only for these earlier period. Cotton, wool. silk, hides, rubber, tobacco, lumber. fibers and ores all show larger quantities, raw cotton showing a remarkable in crease. This all indicates that they are brought in the result of the de- mands Of Business, q fact which must be taken into consideration when plans are being made for the changing of the economic conditions of the ooun- try. With business at it's best it is going to require some extraordinary evidence to show wher,,in it Is wise to change from assured conditions to uncertainties.

BETTER RESPIRATION ACT.

From the present operation of the Erdman act which is the law under which the difficulties of the railroads and their fremen are being adjusted, will be given the latest basis for mak- ing any changes in it's present stipu- lations. It is manifest that the act can be materially strengthened to the advantage of all who are concerned under it's operations, and that changes would overcome the objections which kept the participants in the present ar bitration so long apart It was not arbitration which they differed on. but the method under which it should be carried out.
 Some suggestions which at least meet the points involved are made by ex-Mayor Seth Low of New York, who would increase the number of arbi- trators so that the ultimate decision in important matters would not be made by one man. He would give to the three interests involved-the rail- roads, the employees and the public two representatives each. or to the public he would give three when it was desired to have an odd number on the arbitration board in which case "a majority of the board must com prehend, in whole or in part, two of the interests involved"
 This was the contention of the rail- roads that more than three should constitute the board and that there should be a longer period than thirty days for the hearing of the evidence. Whenever any attempt is made to amend the Erdman act there Is no question but what these will receive careful attention among the other changes which may be suggested, or which the present hearing may make manifest for the fairest arbitration

It was just between twilight and dark that a ersey cow. owned by Farmer Hollis. jumped the field fence into the highway and sauntered down the read. She wasn't In search of left. She wasn't hoping to fall in with another cow of her breed and pass the time Q day. She simply wanted a saunter all by, her lonesome, and years and years ago, before the auto came inte Use. 1t would have been a safe thing for COW to do.
 AS Miss Jersey stepped slowly along enjoying the beauties of the evening, an auto was coming up from the di- rectien of Glen Head. It contained two young men and the chauffeur. It might have been going 30 miles an hour, but if the question was before court it would have been contended that the speed was about half that. Whatever were the figures, it stole upon the COW unheard and hoisted her into the ditch and broke her back
 The house of Farmer Hillis was only so rods away. but there was no going back to notify him of the accident. The COW was dead. and that settled that. It had been stated that the ani- maj belonged to Farmer Hollis So 1t did in a way. In several other ways 1t belonged to his daughter Florence, who had petted and cared for it snce ANH' whose COW it was.
 Next morning the hired man report ed the tragedy. Miss Florence went down the road and viewed the body house to ask her father, who was par tia1ly an invalid:
 Well. what are you going to do about it?''
 Tt was an auto, suppose?'' ?''
 +a of o thousand PeopIe?"
 Of course.
 and be 50 miles away by this time ?"
 Well. there you are. What can I do about it g'
 What. Are you going to make no effort to get damages 2?
 "The sheriff would pile up bill of $50 and hit no clue. I don't see that anything can be done.
 Well, I do,' was the vigorous reply from the Gaugher. That COW was worth $s0 and somebody has got to pay it. If you don't want to move in the matter I will.''
 Go ahead" said the father as he sighed and turned away.
 Half hour later Miss F1rence was on the road with her pony and a roadhouse at which nine out of 10 autos, bound either way, might be counteod on to Stop. The charces were more good that the machine that killed the Jersey stopped there for a few minutes. The young men would want beer or cigars. The girl drove up and called for the proprietor to come out.
 "An auto about o'clock 5 he unused at her query Yes. there was one. It held two young men. It went down the road and must have passed your house."
 And the young men-were they strangers 9" was asked
 Well, yes and no. know that one and he is the owner of the machine Is Burt Merriam. and the other is Steve Dayton. They were great chums at college, I believe. They had two beers here and went on.'
 And this MT. Merriam-Where does he live, please?"
 "Over at Brookside, I understand"
 That's a1l-thanks.
 Run down a, cow or a hog for the old man last night, and she'c going to raise a row about it,' said the land lord as he watched the girl drive away She drove into GGlen Head and to the office of 8 lawyer and told her story.

Senator Root and Anti Suffrage.

Mr. Editor: We have read the half column letter giving senator Root s opinion on women and the ballot, and we concluded with 8 feeling of regret, that if MT Root thinks he is right it should take him so long to explain why. If the ballot, he says, was natural right then women should have it though the heavens fall" Just what he means by 'tnatura! right" Is not clear. Surely he cannot think that suffrage is an unnatural right. If 1t is, then why should men have it? The divine distribution of powers, etc, etc, he says rests with the male. So says the male. There was a time. also, when 1t was a supposed axiom that the divine right was the prerogatiNe of kings. Later on 1t only belonged to the nobles. After a while it extended to the gentry, and finally the common people had an tnkling that 1t was a prerogative of theirs. The Declaration of Independence stated 1t Is an inalien- able Fight-that is, a right born with the individual, and from which he can not be detached. Very soon after it's pronulgation we learned that this in alienabIe right only belonged to white men, as understood by the framers Of the document, and it became necessary to make a new provision to cover men of color. Some have not yet learned this. However, we find that In def1n- ing this natural right, this divine right, there has been an extension, or It's breadth and meaning. Every one Of these new interpretations has had it's bitter opposition and it's big and little opponents, but the extension has all ways prevailed If the home is the throne and the highest exercise Of power is that which forms the con- science, surely home .is where the woman has proved her right to the ex- ervise of pow Ner Women as monarchs have not failed to show their supert- ority in the exercise of the govern mental functions. If she can sit on a nations throne, and direct Its affairs, saneiy does 1t seem reasonable to say she cannot vote for the person who is to occupy that honorable position? Can she instruct her sons and daughters in the influences Of the will that con- troi the impulses of men. and yet be forbidden to teach the instrumehtal1- ties that, in the final analysis, fixes those influences into shape in the form parts of society which are beyond or below the each of gracious influences? Some of us are wondering what has started this new canvass in Norwich against woman suffrage. It would seem as if there was a abundance of op- Perhaps we should hail with delight the new eadsayer; it may be an i'm proVement on the late employment Of some. in their heuse-ta- house whists, but 1t wilt take a larger argument and a better one than that of Senator Root to convince the thinking part of the community that this is an end of the discussion, or that he can say;
