 The joint elections are to be held upon Saturday, october II. Upon that date separate ballots may be cast upon the two questions. Of course it is anticipated that there will be heavier registration and more votes cast upon the question of the adoption of the proposed city char ter than upon that of the proposed bond election. as one of the qualifi- cations for voting upon the latter question is that the name of the voter shall appear upon the last tax roll, showing the applicant to have paid q real estate tax in this city sometime during the past year.

TRANSFER OF PUPILS
 FROM SCHOOL DISTRICTS
Causing School Authorities Some Trouble and Works Hardships in
 Sorce Cases

The question of the transfer of pu- pills from one school district to an other is causing the county school authorities this year no little trou- ble. The jaw is so worded, a change having been made in It, so as to re- quire the consent of both boards of school trustees before pupil from one district can attend in another district
 The intention of the law is to avoid the use of schools in certain districts by the pupils of other dis tricts without consent, but it is work ing out so as to be something of a hardship to many families. For in stance. A man living in the Creigh- ton district has two daughters going to school, and he also has a younger child of school age. With the con sent of both boards of trustees the little one could be brought to the Phoenix City schools by the two sis ters who have to come to the High School every day, and only one set of horses necessary to bring them all but unless a consent is given the lit tie one has to go to the Creighton school which is in the other direc- tion entirely and another rig must be kept up for that purpose.
 There is another case that has been reported recently. In one of the dis tricts near here there is jog in the boundaries One little fellow living in that jog is forced to pass hy the school house of one district on his way two miles further on to the school in his own district If the proper arrangements are made however the daily journey of the young seeker after knowledge would be made much less.

Was Never Intended to
Occupy a Cabinet Post

From the Philadelphia Inquirer
There have been multiplying evi-
dences that Nature, however gen
erous she may have been to Will
lam Jennings Bryan in the be
stowal Of her gifts, never intended
him to occupy the position Of Sec
rotary of State in the Cabinet OF
the President Of the United States.
This is a post, above all others,
which requires unusual tactfulness,
knowledge Of the usages Of diplo-
macy, and a keen and delicate
sense Of the fitness Of things.
Many persons, who have no de-
sire to be unfair to Mr.. Bryan,
have gravely doubted whether he
possessed any Of these quaIifica-
lions, and his latest announce
ment that he proposes to lay down
the duties Of his high office for six
weeks in order to devote that time
to a pro6t-making tour Of the
Chautauqua lecture circuit VIII

"A Dangerous Man-Why
Did He Enter Cabinet?"

From the Boston Traveller
AS a leader of the plain people,
standing on the outside and telling
what ought to be done, william
Jennings Bryan was for years in a
class by himself. AS a Cabinet Off
cial who is leaving grave duties to
be attended to by his subordinates,
while he explains that he must lee
ture in order that his annual in
come may not fall below a speci-
fed total, he is a melancholy figure.
He is more than that-he is dan
gerous man.
Why did Bryan enter the Cabi-
net? Why is he remaining there?
The Acknowledgement discredited
himself In the California matter.
The Secretary of State is doing
more than that-he is discrediting
the country. He should resign or
attend to business,

Lecturlng Instead of
Tending TO His Duty.

From the ClepelGnd LEADER
Affairs in Mexico, If not in
Washington, appear to be in a con-
dition requiring careful handling.
The President has returned to the
capital from his Summer holiday.
Utmost solicltude for national In
terests would seem to necessitate
the presence of the head Of the De
partment Of State. Instead, we see
him far away addressing Chautau-
qua audiences under the stern COM
pulsion of necessity-the homely,
universal necessity Of earning a
living.
Secretary Bryan should now go
A step further in candor and tell
the people how much it will cost
them to engage his entire atten-
ton to their affairs.

Uncle Sam and the
High Cost of Grape Juice.

From the chicago Daily Netos.)
As for the compulsiOn, the eco
nomic urge, that ostensibly drives
Mr.. Bryan to this course, 1t should
cause Uncle Sam to feel a measure
Of remorse or some similar emo
ton. 1t is probable that he is not
paying his chief lieutenants enough.
Possibly he has been too busy to
consider the high cost of grape

tants Of diplomatic life in Wash

From the Ne1o York Sum-
Mr.. Bryan's excursions from
Washington and his post of duty
to crafty his incurable cacoethes
loquendi or Yawp's disease have
become more than a Joke. They
are a scandal. A Secretary of
State whose department is crowded
with grave and delicate interna-
tional controversies neglects the
country's business for his pleasure.

he now gayly deserts the work
for which the United States pays
him $4,000 a year to discharge
his rhetoric and collect dollars on

Since Mr.. Bryan seems to have
no sense of public obligation, of
official responsibility or of loyalty
to the Administration upon which
his evasion of his functions has
already brought ridicule and is in
more than fair way to bring con-
tempt; since the mighty mouthed
Democratic protagonist Of all the
political and moral virtues is con
tent to be.a loafer and a shirk,
what is Mr.. Wilson going to do
about it?

we a e quite certain that the av-
erage American citizen Is ready to
conclude that Mr.. Bryan is on the
wrong tack and that he should

Viewed in its most favorable
light, Mr.. Bryan's course remains
wholly tndefensible. The New

Bryan's cutting off an interview
with the Japanese Ambassador, to
make connections with a Chautau-
qua engagement, did not look well.
The story, as It Travelled over the

The more words Mr.. Bryan

WILLIAMS JURY IS
 HUNG ANC DISCHARGED

Worse than boxing matches in PhOe- nix is the result of a jury on a black white slave case in federal court.
 With one man out of the dozen hold ing out for acquittal, the jury in the Otto Williams case before Judge Saw teIIe was hung, higher than any per suasions could reach and when his hon or saw the twelve were going to remain off the track indefinitely, he discharged them and ordered a new trial.
 The case went to the jury late Satur- day afternoon. Apparently there was little dissensiOn concerning the verdict, but that little lasted long. The scene in the jury room can be imagined. With Sunday coming on with Iightning-lille rapidity, the empty jurors craving that home cooked nutriment, and all but one fully convinced of their verdict-then to have one man set in his way and so strong for the same that he must needs hold the entire twelve over until court came together again.
 The federal calandar has been cleared now. In the Saturday session the dock ct was wiped clean of the passed and dismissed eases and the civil calendar called in the presence of over a dozen prominent attorneys, who have cases coming up.
