OUR MANAGEMENT OF THE
 PHILIPPINES.

Coming to the attention of Americans is the wonderful results already being obtained in the Phillipine islands through the education of the children of the natives; within few years the armies of children will be taking their positions the affairs of the islands, and ali opinions of the good results of proper educational training will be amiss should there not be very noticeable inn provement in the condition of the people.
 The great of money, nearly $4,ooO, ,ooo expended by the American government in the education of the native children, is evidence of the happy results flowing from guidance of our coun- try. That more than half million children are methodically trained i'll lines that will mean their development for the duties of life is very gratify- ing to the believer of constructive imperialism. The condition of the islands at present, compared with their condition at the time of assuming control should be the strongest argument in favor of our permanent control. To abdcate our su- pervison now, in the coming generations, would be crime to the natives of the islands, and in justice to ourselves.

IS COMMISSION GOVERNMENT AFFLICT-
 ED WITH POLITICS?

Phoenix Is HOW in the throes of one of the most hoty contested political campaigns ever borne to the lot of city in Arizona If factions could be in evidence than at present SO vivid ly noticeable in the Salt River city, must go into the strongholds of the Northern cities to make the discovery.
 This causes one to wonder to the verity of the oft repeated statement that the commission form of government will ruthlessy slaughter poli- tics and the clans and factions that their natur al appendages. Should Phoenix today be pre- pairing for the election of the old variety of city administrators, surely she would not be politically torn as she is and will be until the election With vociferous cries from the leaders of each faction that they are patriotica1ly for the strict and in violable ethical moral and financial good of their city, and with mass meetings of nightly renee, the citizens of the capitol city wit messing the results of the election of officers to serve under the commission form of government.
 This brings belief that men will always be afflicted or blessed with the festive politician, and that the citizenship of every country, city and hamlet, will continue to be separated into clans politically. Whether these parties are for the advancement of the state, will depend upon req sons other than the commission form of city gov ernnent. It is entirely probable that party affil1- ations are now being made to yield their fruitage in Phoenix.

IMPROVEMENTS OF WATER
 co. ARE PROGRESSING,
Large Reservoir Above Hills Addi- tion is CompIeted-Pipe Lines Now Being Placed from Main Clifton to Reservoir-Other
 Work to Follow.

For several days past, the Clifton Water company, has been engaged in the following of the various plans for improvement outlined for the past several months by the officials of the company and the state corporation commission.
 The large reservoir above the Ari- zona Copper company's hospital in Hills Addition is now completed. and will be utilized for the service of the entire town, pressure from it to be applied to all mains, immediately up- on completion of the eight inch pipe
 line which is being placed from a point near the library building to the reservoir. Workmen are now engaged upon this line, under the direction of Superintendent Heck, and l.. Shelby the latter having been awarded the contract, and it is expected that the line will reach the reservoir within one month.
 1 All told, the company will place about seven thousand feet of eight inch pipe during this improvement i campaign, and in addition will place many smaller lines in the various portions of the town. The recent changes requested by the company of the state corporation commission have been by the latter granted, and will be included in the many improve ments formerly granted by the com mission. It is anticipated that upon the completion of the entire campaign of improvement and construction the every portion of Clifton will receive abundant water service for both do- nestle and fire eXtinguishing pur- poses. The new reservoir alone, in the fact that it will greatly increase the pressure to every portion of town, will prove of great advantage in cases of fire.

GREAT SHELTER IS TO BE
 BUILT FOR MIAMI ORES
Two and Half Million Plant Con-
 tracted and to Be Completed Within Year.

MIAMI, Feb. 2.-The contract for the building of a $2,50O,000 smelter has been let by the International Smelling and Refining company to the American Bridge company of Fl Paso. The matter of constructing the new smelter will be one of magni- tude. Ten or twelve buildings will have to be erected and a large force of workmen employed. It is not known at present just how large an acreage will be required for the en- tire smelter, this being determined by developments in construction.
 The contract was awrded Tuesday in the offices of Repath & McGregor, with four firms competing for the construction of the shelter.
 The new smelter will be of great importance to the district in many ways. Least of all is the number of workmen which it will bring to the district, and this will mean many dollars in the course of the mer- chants. Of greater significance is the fact that while it is being erected primarily to handle the output of the Inspiration mine, and most likely the Miami, customs ores will also be treated. This will be of inestimable value to the small operators of the vicinity. It is confidently expected that with the erection of the smelter many small properties which are now idle will be worked, and to a profit.
 From the cost of the shelter alone it may be seen that it will be con- siderable magnitude. The land which the International bought from the Mi ami Copper company has been under course of treatment, and a major DOT tion of it has been graded, indicating that the smelter will cover consider able ground. Every detail will be of the latest model and it will be as strictly modern and improved as money can make it. An idea of just how enormous the structures will be may be gained from the height of the smokestacks, one of which will be 300 feet and the other 200 feet high, with diameter of 22 feet and 15 feet, respectively.
 lt is not known at the present time how long it will require for construc- ton to be completed, although the American Bridge company expects to have the shelter finished during the present year. Repath & McGregor have charge of the details of con- struction, all of which are not defi- nitely arranged; changes later may delay the time of completing it.

FARM LAND BANKS.

The new farm bank law Is ready for congress ional consideration. It is fashioned largely on similar laws in Europe Farm land banks are to be created in the states either by private capitol or on the non-proft-seeking cooperative basis. commissioner of farm land banks is to be fed eral official, appointed by the president, and to act federal fiscal agent to supervise the oper- ation of each farm land and mortgage bank The banks are to have federal charters, like the na- tional banks, and to issue debentures as their personal obligations, the proceeds to be loaned to the farmers on first mortgages. The mortgages to bear higher rate of interest than the de- bentures. The difference is to represent the profit of the bank. Farmers will redeem the mortgages in fixed annual nstallments. The plan sounds well, and If there enough small farmers wish ing to start in business with mortgaged farms to make the banks profitable it may work well.- State Press.

PHOENIX'S FEMININE POPULA- TETON CARES NOT FOR BALLOT
Women Take Little Interest in Con-
 ing Municipal Elections Say Registrars.

PHOENIX-There are 5729 quail fled voters in Phoenix according to the registration. This was the total number of registrations when the recorders office closed at midnight Saturday, and according to the rec order and the past registration re- ceipts, it falls far below what it should be.
 A great number of voters who have qualified for the coming election are men. According to the special regis trars who canvassed the residential sections of the city, the women did not show any great amount of inter- est in what will be the most impor- tant election in the history of the city, and many of them refused to register.
 During the first two weeks of the registration period, there was a splendid registration for each day, but towards the end interest began to decrease and with the exception of the last day, for which the total was over the 400 mark, there was but an average of 175 registrations per day.
 According to the registration for former elections there should be 5000 voters in Phoenix, and because of the importance of the coming election the smallest estimate given by the city recorder was $500 registrations, and the small total recorded Saturday night proved a disappointment to him. Only those who registered during the registration period can vote at the primaries Feb. Il.
