ater's manager, will be seen for the
first time as an actor in Washington
Mr.. Thatcher returns to the stage fol
this one week. because he was the
original in the part on tour. The play Is
supposed to be based upon the actual
experiences of a Montana copper king
who, upon discovering mine, went to
New York and established chain OF
banks. Here he, incurred the enmity
of a syndicate of capitalists, who
planned his destruction through con-
certed runs on his banks. The chief
difference between Mr.. Broadhurst's

 The members of the legislature will find many useful purposes at home for all the money in sight and 1t is hoped that they will have the courage to confne the states antics in California to something that will not resemble an extravagant skirt dance.
 Arizona needs new settlers, those who are seeking homes and invest ments and we hope to see something done in the way of making known oar wonderful advantages and unritalea opportunities in those state where the population is becoming too thick and the opportunities for energy too scarce. A few thousand dollars judi ciously expended annually in this eE- fort would result far more beneiiciatty to Arizona than any money exBendeI for exposition buildings.
 Then there is the good roads prop osition calling fer bond issue of ser eraI millions.

MR. sTIMSoN AND THE CARTEEn.

 AND THE cARTEEn.
 The question of the army oanteen is once more brought to the front by Secretary stimson's report on the manners and the morals Of the soldier. Probably Mr, stimson might just as we'll hold his tongue for all the effect that his utterance will have upon tfe little group Of noisy agitaters whose persistence nrst secured abolition of the canteen and whose unyielding prejudice have prevented it's restora- ton. But Mir. stmson. as Secretary fo War, is bound to present the facts. and it Is well that lie should do so for the benefit of those who wish to know the real causes Of army vice and to lay the blame at the right doors. And the blame very obviously lies at the doors of those who supposed that the soldier could be discouraged from drinking by the simple expendient ot sending him from the barracks. where he could be supervised and restrained, to the lnfaL ,ds dives outside the bar racks, where he could be neither su- pervised nor restrained. That a few pious women by the mere force of clamor should be able to regulate the barraek fife of soldiers and to enforce their own will against experience and prudence is one Of the maryels of our civilization. If it were less serious. it would be laughable. But it is hot. laughable that a small number of -rs-' formers should stand so o6stina,eIy ss a barrier between the soldier and his protection from the most aagrad- Ing bodily ills, says the Argunaut
 Mr. stimson tells rs that he has per sonally visited forty-nirfe of the army rt sts. In every instance he found nest of vile and mthg dives just le- ycad the reservation eaes. laid auI Baited as traps for the damnation og the soldier. He found, upon inquiry, that certain uncomfortable diseases were claiming more victims in the American army than ali the import ant diseases combined, more victims than in any other army in civilization. And Mir. stimson has no doub, as tc the cause for this cruel and abomnia- bIe state og thinss. lie tells us that is is due to the abolition of tbe canteen and to the fact that a maiden-aunt leg'slation has driven the soldier ia,o these dens Of iniquity where alcohol is the very least Of the evils tha, await him. In the old days the sol eier drank beer in the army eanteen and presanabl. t was good beer He had neither the temptation or inc op- portunity to dring to excess. and stii less to debauch himself.
