George Burdette Makes Each
Passenger Feel That He Is
Company's Guest.
BY EDITH LOBERT.


1T does't pay TO have 4 crouch on all
the time. it doesn't get you anything in
the long rum"
That is the philosophy of George w.
Burdette, Washingtons grouchless, con-
ductor, who has the job of running
street car down TO a fine art.
Burdettes car on the Mount Pleasa mt
line is a travelling social center. He
makes his passengers feel as If they
were guests of the company rather thaa
patrons, and one finds i'm a crowd on
board all the cheerful atmosphere of
social function in which nothing but the
refreshments and the music are lacking
Right this way, madam, Now please
move over that way little here a
seat for you. madam Madam smiles
graciouslv. Everybody moves at the
gruff, good-natured request.
A woman asks directions to a certain
point. with careful elaboration,' Bur-
dette explains il all, Keeping a sharp
eye on the incoming fares meanwhile
You can't miss it. madam he says
there's a drug store on the corner
Kind To Children.
A little girl asks for transfer. Eur
dette's smile meets an instant response
as the aristocratic little miss hands over
her ticket. And Burdette finds some
transfer stubs he hasn't any use for to
bestow upon the little lady. Business Jf
great delight on the part of Miss Six
Near-Old.
An old lady who isn't quite certain
of her footing tries to climb on board.
Take your time, madam. take your
time" says Burdette, as he helps her
VI the steps, and then finds her seat.
socod morning, SENATOR he halls a
dignified looking parsonage who gets on
near the Highlands. The Senator
whether he is one or not-is Immensely
pleased at the compliment and it's pref
ty much of a certainty that he's going
tC wait for car 436 whenever it's posi-
bic.
For Burdette has a happy faculty of
rlaking folks, no matter how exclusive
their calling lists may be, extraordinar-
lily democratic when they are his pa
irons
And he has hauled many celebrities in
his time. his time if you please, being
twenty-five years next June with the
same company.

my life and I've never been anywhere
else. Oh, yes, ] have been at Rock
vile few times. Some place, Rock
Vile" he adds, and you lave a definite
notion that you are being 'joshed."
Has Choicest Run.
Burdette's services, both in point OF
time and efficiency. have been re-
warded by the company by its choices;
runs.
Il like the Mount Pleasant line" he
says. because il lives up TO its name.

Don't let the distortions of age ruin
your appearance Many let the face
grow old before the body. This is
mistake. Always keep the face young
er than the body AS long as the body
is active keep the face young and at
tractive. A young body and an old face
IS detrlment. Every one of the above
deformities can be removed by DR..

Urges Protestants to
Unite on Faith Essentials

Protestant unity was urged by the
Rev. Randolph II. McKim. pastor OF
the Church of the Epiphany. in an ad-
dress before the American Federation
OF Catholic Societies, at a meeting in
Pythian Temple last night.
DR.. McKim said Protestants should
allow no more controversies to come
between them. Many matters in the
Creeds OF the several Protestant
churches differ. he said Some of
these are of no importance and some
are important We must stand together
in the truths IN which we are agreed
We must stand together for our civil
ard religious rights

STATE. LANDS

Development of the immense section of Arizona lying north and west of the Grand Canyon, IS pro- ceeding at much more rapid gait than there is a general knowledge of, according to Investigations re- gently made by the State Land Commission and the Agricultural Department of the State Universi- ty.
 A short time ago Chairman Win sor, of the Commission, paid an official visit to the Virgin River country, which may be easiest To- cated on the map by finding where the Utah and Nevada lines con- verge. So far from Phoenix is the locality, and so many hundred miles of travel Are required to reach there, that it was difficult for Mir. Winsor to realize that the settlers he found were residents of Arizona, but the interest in the loyalty for, the State disclosed by their conver- sation supplied ample proof of cit izenship. The chairman found an irrigation enterprise, -designe't to reclaim about 15,0OO acres of Ariz- ona's table-land of semi-arid char acter, in course of constructisn on the Virgin River. The project, though possessed of difficult engin- eering problems, has every appear ence of feasibility, water in abun- dence and good land under it. If the plans of the company receive no setbacks the enterprise will be completed during the coming win ter. MT. Winsor selected several thousand acres of land under the project, for the State. His inves- tigation extended some distance to the eastward, and he found splen- did country, at present entirely given over to grazing. The land be- ing unsurvayed no selection could be made, and more careful investi. gation was reserved for another time.

Forum
The Saloons a Public Expence

I would like>to debate tbe ques- tion that the saloons cost the coun- ty more than twice the amount that it pays in as revenues, and other business that has practically no cost to the county pays the bills.
 The county hospital can in it self easily charge up to the saloons of Coconino county twice the amount of the revenue of the sa- looms. Then the expense account of the criminal cases caused by the saloons will double that of the county hospital. Add to this the extra police force required on ac- count of the saloons and you have ,most of the money cost of the saloon. But what else does the saloon cost. Human lives! Last year four homicides occurred in the county and the saloon was the cause of all of them. l know a boy who was sent to the state in- dastrial school from Williams last year, and his father is a frequent patron of the saloon. I know mother and her child in Coconino county who havs been deserted by the husband and father and booze was the cause of it. ..
 1 What other business have we tEat has cost the county more than it pays the county in the past year? Let us compare few. Take the Saginaw and Manistee Lumber Company which pays more taxes than thirty-one saloons do revenue.
 Tow would the expense of this company 10 the county compare
 with that of Unity one saloons?

ty. E. B. Perrin pays as. much as much as all the saloons of Williams Compare the expense to the conuty. I can name dozen different indi- viduals who pay more to the coun- ty than any two saloons and yet their business is practically no expense
 Now listen! If any of these msn or business organizations that T have mentioned, should cost the county in proportion to the saloon, you voters would rise up in arms and say, "awav with himl He is "a detriment to the community, let's get rid of himp' Now, why can't you put the saloons ons the same footing as the saw mill, the railroad the stock man the store, and so

CARNEGIE MAY GIVE
LIBRARIES TO COUNTRY
Plan for Wider Education In Rural
Districts Calls for Donation !.
of MIOO.OOO,OOO.

st. Paul. Mimi, July G.-An earnest
plea in behalf of the woman educator
by President Joseph Swain. recon-
mendations for radical changes In the
present public school system and dis
cussion of Il plan for the establish
tricts, to which Andrew Carnegie may
be the chief contributor, marked to-
days session of the National Educa-
tion Association.
Supporters of the presidential can
didacy OF DIR. David Starr Jordan were
elated over the declarations of Pres
ident Swain and pointed out that such
views expressed by the administration
would go long way In bringing the
support OF the women delegates to DIR.
Jordan. who is termed the machine
candidate by the Southern delegates.
The campaign of the SOLID South" In
behalf of Professor David Il. Johnson.
who is DR. Joflans chief opponent.
was being carried vigorously forward
tonight.
Philandcr u. ClaXton. Federal COM
missioner OF education told Il meeting
of State superintcndents that Andrew
Carnegie Is considering plan for the
establishment OF libraries In country
districts that would call for a contri-
button Of between S75.000.000 and
slo0.000.000 by the iron magnate.
Discussing the necessity of increased
salary for the woman teacher. Miss
Margaret Haley. of Chicago. declared
that If every corporation In city
were forced to pay it's taxes. the ques-
ton would be solved. She advocat ted
more study by the educators of labor
conditions. and said the teacher knew
too little of economic questions to be
responsible for the future citizenship
of the country.
1t was announced unonicially to-day
that those IN favor of simpliiied spell
ing will make no effort to place the
matter before the convention this year.
In discussing the plan for rural pub
lie libraries, Mr.. Claxton said:
mir. Carnegie was interested In the
proposal. and asked me how much
money II would require. told him
probably s75.0oo.ooo and possibly $780,
100000
There are 1900 counties In our ma
ton with no public libraries. and only
seventyflve counties where the people
have access to libraries which are al
most unlimited. I talked these con-
ditions over with Mr.. Carnegie and
told him of the need OF libraries In
country districts. From what he said,
have reason to believe that If coun-
ties make the proposition to him that
cities make. they to buy the lot II he
will erect the buildings. Mr.. Carnegie
would do his share"
The session tonight was devoted to
u discussion OF status of woman.
