Wiley Tells Hmsbamds HO1U
 To Secure Marital Bliss

your home. If your wife does her duty, you will not care about leaving home very often.
 Send flowers and candy at times to your wife-that is, in preference to sending them to other women.
 Tip your hat to your wife when you meet her on the street.
 Never telephone to your wife while at office. If you have not confidence enough in her to take it for granted that she is behaving herself while you are away, you had better get a divorce. Besides, a man at his office is sup posed to Work-not to chat
 Never keep joint bank account.
 Deal out to your wife a liberal al- loWance monthly.
 Never ask her to account for the money you give her.
 Don't permit her to nag you about the way you dispose of your portion.
 Don't criticise your wife's dress un- less you have taken lessons in cutting, fitting, tailoring, and millinery
 Be faithful in these things and you will find the life of marriage not a field of battle, but a bed of roses. These rules lead in their observance to mari tai bliss that passeth all understanding

After the complications and patient illness, George F.

 Though scarcely past middle age and while a resident of Phoenix talk ing small part in public affairs. ex- cept as pertaining to business and the daily routine of life, his earlier years were a period of social and political activity. Few. even of his intimates in later life. who knew him only as man of quiet reserve and retiring habits were aware of his former sphere of influence or his prominence
 
 years of residence in Indianapolis. Al ways an enthusiastic Democrat his interest in political matters was main tained until the end and in more recent campaigns he was much grati fled by the successes of many of his old time associates, among whom were Senator John w Kern of Indiana, and Vice President Thomas Marshall. He was intimately associated with Tom Taggart of Indianapolis and in periods of democratic supremacy it is said he could have had his choice of par tisan favors had he so desired. How ever, his political aspirations were chiefly in behalf of his friends and only occasionally did he accept public responsibilities. He liked politics and liked to be associated with the boys" in campaign work, but had little personal ambition for office
 When a young man MT. Merryman made himself popular with his as- sociates through his droll fun and Irish wit which. perhaps, accounts in some part for the mutual intimacy he enjoyed for a long time with James Whitcomb Riley, the famous Indiana poet, and whose friendship he always esteemed He also had d warm per s0naI friendship with the late Gen eral Lew Wallace and his family.
 From his earliest manhood he was not only greatly interested in Free Masonry, but during his life in h. diana was an energetic worker and was popular in Masonic circles or as he always referred to them, with the Masonic Boys" He was master of ms mother lodge, Mystic Tie, for several terms in succession and was Tor many wears a member of the Grand Chapter of Indiana His other fraternal ai filiations included membership in the Phoenix lodges of the Order of the Eastern Star and the Independent or der of odd Fellows.

 WASHINGTON, D. C., Aug. 24-Dr- Harvey w Wiley, former chief of the bureau of chemistry, is as ardent an advocate of marital bliss as of pure food and drugs. The doctor is a married man himself. and what is more, fath- CT: and in accordance with his firm convictions concerning matrimony he has formulated a set of rules for hus- bands. which he trusts will be as ben eficiaI to the public as the pure foods and drugs act
 Dr. Wiley announces the following rules:
 "F'irst and foremost marry the right girl
 Next, and of greatest importance, treat her white.
 Keep your temper, whether she keeps hers or not.
 Be as polite to her as you are to your next-door neighbor's wife.
 Greet her as respectfully as you did when she was a blushing maiden and you were trying to woo and win her.
 Don't be jealous if she loves her son more than her husband.

 HANDLE TARIFF
Are for Creation of Perma nent Tariff Commission and for the Schedule by Schedule Revision of Pres pnt Tariff
(snaciaI to The Republican)

Special to The RepuDlcan)
 WASHINGTON, D. C.. Aug. 24.-The real measure of republican enthusiasm for the creation of q permanent tariff commission and for schedule by sched- uIe revision of the tariff is authori- tatively disclosed in a little pamphlet recently issued by the American Pro- tective Tariff league. It is entitled "A Roster of the Sixty-third Congress-, and carries as a b-heading the leg end Words of Good Cheer from Prominent Members of Congress. In view of the efforts made by republican leaders in congress many times during this session to have it appear that the republicans really favor a permanent tariff commission certain declarations of this pamphlet issued by the Ameri- can Protective Tariff league, together with some of the words of good cheer from prominent members of congress are peculiarly interesting.
 On page II, there appear the resOlu- tions adopted by the American Protec- tive Tariff league in annual meeting assembled, declaring that flair and in telligent adjustment of tariff duties is practical impossibility when dealing with one schedule at a time" and that we are unable to discover any valid reason for the existence of a perman- ent tariff board or commission
 The American Protective Tariff i league earnestly urges that the re- sponsibility for tariff legislation re-
 mains wholly with the congress of the l United States" Then follows, on pages 14 to g. a selection from the words l of good cheer received by the league in | the form of letters from various stand | pat statesmen. These letters include cheering words from Senators Gallin-
 ger of New Hampshire, Warren of Wy
 oming, Shoot of Utah, Penrose of Pennsylvania, Bradley of Kentucky and l Sherman of Illinois, the last-o of whom l has been industriously endeavoring to i create the impression that he is a pro-
 gressive. MT Sherman defines the
 character of his prOgressivism by say | ing, "On the issues joined upon the leg | islation of the tariff now pending, the
 services of your league are and will be especially valuable.
 1 There are also given in this inter-
 esting pamphlet letters from such l eminent supporters of the republican 1 death bed advocacy of a tariff com l mission as former Speaker Cannon and | Representatives Campbell of Kansas.

MESSENGER BOY IF PHOENIX IS SHOT IN MEXICO
Buddy" N0rvell Receives Bullet Wound in Hip and Decides He's Seen Enough of Fighting to Last Him Rest of Life

With a nearly healed bullet wound in his right hip and an experience that comes to few people in a life time, Buddy NOrveI erstwhile Western Union messenger boy, now an employe of the Phoenix Steam Laundry, dropped into the Republican office last evening to tell of his return to Phoenix after an absence of several months during which he paid his respects to the trOub- led republic to the south. From April 19. the date of his unannounced de- parture from Phoenix. until a day or two ago, when he reached Phoenix and secured a position in the laundry, Nor veil, who is but a little over sixteen years old, has had some interesting, not to say exciting experiences.
 For a little while after leaving here he visited with his parents in Fort Worth, Texas. Then he drifted over to Fl Paso. There he could almost smell the powder of the Mexican federals and insurrectos across the line and he determined to have a look at close range He failed to get across the border al Juarez and finally drifted over to Douglas, Naco and NogaIes. Then he slipped aboard a freight train and made his way down to Guaymas.
 From Guaymas he made his way down in the general direction of Mexico City. But as he neared the capital the bullets became thicker and thicker and finally when one struck him in the hip he started on the run back to the stars and stripes country, only stopping long enough to see a Mexican doctor who put some stuff that burned on his wound. Then he washed the hot stuff off, applied clean rag and got better.
 Why 1 never saw a thing before in my life" said Norvel, in speaking of the first battle of which he was an interested spectator until both sides started after him. "The men were fall ing on every side and I just naturally ran in any direction but that in which | they seemed to be moving. I don't know whether they were shooting at me or not, but 1 do know I got a nasty wound in my hip and I was glad when was out of it all
 Sometimes I didn't have a bite to eat for days. Sometimes I managed to steal rides on trains and when I couldn't just kept walking and walking until I thought 1 couldn't walk any longer.
 Well, I'm back and alive and guess had better wait here in Phoenix until something good turns up for me. Continued on Page Two)

Thomas, who still resides near Lawrence, Indiana While on the farm, MT Merryman devoted him. self especially to the raising of thor oughbred stock, specializing particular ly in fine horses. Blue ribbons for stock display was his annual heritage at the Indiana State Fair and he all ways had one or more horses com peting in the track events
 In 1891 MT. Merryman went to Los Angeles which was his home until 1899, when he came to Phoenix and during his residence in the coast city he engaged in the undertaking busi- ness. On coming to Phoenix he formed a partnership with w A. Davis. and later bought the interest of his partner More recently he asso- ciated with him, MT. Walter Hayt, their parlors being located at 124 North Second avenue
 During his long residence here. MT. Merryman made a wide acquaintance and proved himself a citizen of sterl- ing worth, upright in character and Of manly bearing, one whose passing will be regarded as q loss to the community and whose kindly face will be missed in many circles. He is survived by no relatives here except his bereaved wife, who will have the sympathy of innumerable friends.
