Robert E. Lee to His Son
(NeW York Sum

The death of Gen. G. w C. Lee, eldest son of Cen R. E Lee. recalls to mind private letter the famous Southerner written his under date of April 3, 1852, when Custis Lee was a cadet at the United States Military Academy West Point and which was found at Arlington House during the Civil War
 cseness, concinnty and clarity, this account should find a place in any anthology a master piece of correct English and a model of parental character building advice:
 Arlington House. April 5, 1852 My Dear Son:-
 T am just in the act of leaving home for New MeXlco My old regiment has been ordered that distant region and l must hasten that they are properly taken of Your letters breathe true spirit of frankness. They have given myself and your mother great pleasure You must study to be frank with the word frankness is the child of honesty and courage. Say what you do every occasion and take for granted you mean to do right. If friend asks a favof you should grant it, if it is reasonable; if tell him plainly why you cannot. You will wrong him and wrong yonrseii by equiVocation of any kind. Never do wrong thing to make friend keep one; man a sacrifice.
 Deal kindly but firmly with your classmates. You will find it the policy which best Above all do not appear others what you are not If you have any fault to find with any one. tell him, not others of what you complain; there is dangerous experiment than that of undertaking be one thing before a mans face and another be- hind his back. We should live act and say noth- ing to the injury of any It is only the
 
 and honor.
 Tn regard to duty, let me, in conclusion of this nasty letter, inform that nearly hundred years ago there day of remarkable gloom and dark ness-stll known the dark day. day when the light or the sun was slowly extnguished, as if my an eclipse. The legislature of Connecticut was in session. and as it's members the unexpected and unaccountable darkness coming they shared in the general awe and was supposed by many that the last day. the day of judgment had come Someone in the consternatiOn of the hour old Puritan legislator, Davenport of Stamford, and said that if the last day had come he desired be at his place doing his duty, and therefore moved that candles be brought in that the house could proceed with its duty.
 There quietness in that mans soul, the quietness of heavenly wisdom and inflexibe willing to obey present duty
 Duty then. is the sublimest word in lan- guage. Do your duty in all things like old Puritan You cannot do more You should never wish to do less Never let me and your mother wear one gray hair for any lack of duty your part. Your affectonate father, R. E. LEE.

Limiting Legislation

Senator Breen of Coconino county. has proposed the legislature constitutional amendment limiting the number of laws which may be enacted any session twenty-five. This is probably exclusive of the appropriation measures
 Two arguments urged in support of such a amendment. One argument is that too many laws enacted every session of not only the Arizona legislature but of every state legislature Tke other argument is that if the legislature limited twenty-five laws they would be given more careful and prayerful attention than our laws receive.
 We do not believe that Mir Breen's amendment will be received by his colleagues with favor. The average legislator is prone legislation and he would be impatient such d restriction is pro- posed. But we think the amendment would find favor with the voters that if the senator from Coconino should be unable launch the amendment from the legislature he might the initiative with a promise of
 We believe that twenty-five laws in session of the legislature enough but here is difficulty: constitutional amendment could carry with it the that all the twenty-five laws would be good and needed Probably the pro- portion of the bad and foolish laws of the twenty more laws that are ground out at every session. The human of the members would be changed by any constitutional amendment
 They would still be found trying put their pet measures through regardless of their utility and really good and needed laws would be cluded by limitation Much wheat would out with the chaff. There is another contingency. The need of legislation might become apparent after the fortunate twenty-five laws had been enacted, and essential the would be found barred by constitution.

The Farce and Wrong of the

 That one million dollars worth of foreign taxation as declared by correspondent of County have confirmed. It is condition of affairs that exists in all communities where the personal tax is in operation. Doubtless the employment of tax terret suggested, would discover much more.
 Not long ago St. Louis had Illuminating illustration Assessor Brnkop had Gus Campbell, he wealthiest in the state assessed for g, 700 900 of personal property Campbell made sworn to the assessor that all he possessed was s1S5,407. John Scun down for s1.000.000. He sWore $34,65O.
 David R. Francis former governor, assessed at s2 900 900, and known the country a multi millionaire, to s61.8OO. Adolphus Busch had been assessed g., 100000. but he worth $567, ,54O He had only $lOO worth of jewelry, and his household furniture worth but $5.000. MT. Busch did not say what had become of jewel studded tiara he had given his wife for present.

This appropri- ation brings the total years $274,338,- 22S, against $141s74 299 for previous year period
 The Rivers and Harbor Congress advocates "a policy and not project" It believes that the gov ernment is on the way toward the establishment of policy and hopes that it may include in a per manent policy, annual appropriation of $5O,OO0O00 for rivers and harbors.
 But any policy the government may adopt should abandon the present plan of itemizng the appro- prations as has hitherto been done. No doubt the

 pr. Budberg has entered defense of the Chinaman's pgtail. He the pgtail owes it's origin hygienic motives. According to our authority, the effect of the pigtail is a more active circulation of the blood, which benefits the brain He writes: "The observation we hear now and then that Chinese without pigtails show less intelligence strikes me not altogether unreason- able, as an active circulation of the blood will not fail influence the nOurishment and develop ment the brain.' He states that the head of a newly born baby is shaved and cloth cap or soft pillow is allowed interfere with the circulation of the scalp When the child grows bigger, the hair is tied together in punches, so expose the skin to the air. and thus promote perspiration Later the hair is grown to form pigtail, and superfluous hair is shaved away. The effect is high and smooth forehead. and face free from wrinkles; and hence even old Chinese have smooth faces and juvenile appearance When rolled on the top of the head the pgtail acts substitute for cap and protects the heaed from the glare of the sun and the cold of winter Ii is also neckcioth and pillow.
