Colonel Jose Delgado said that
Huertas refusal to make a formal
statement before his departure was
due to his desire not to embarrasa
President Carbajal in any way.

quiet today. They fiocked the
wharf and toward the yards where
the Huerta special stood. There
we're shouts Of viva Huertal" but

Upon the arrival OF the special train
last night, there was no demonstra-

What Would Lincoln Re7

The Arizona Star believes that if Lincoln alive today he would be democrat Why cast aspersons upon the character of the Martyr Presi dent whose memory, nearly half century after his death, all sections and all factions revere?
 It is impossible to say what Lincoln would be if he were now alive. None of the great questions which divide questions then Taking with soliciude for the people; his ideas of social justice as we gather from his speeches, may be- lcve that if Lincoln living he would be a progressive.

 At various times in the history of the country before Lincoln the tariff had been a question. but not a direct party issue. Twenty years before his death, however, it had arisen in much the same shape it has frequently assumed in late years, and the editorial and public speeches for and against a protective tariff might have fit in political campaign within the last twenty-five years But in the time Lincoln the tariff not overshadowing matter.

 The sleeping porch is adjunct to s3,000 It is generally built on tick and filled with pure, fresh air and several styles of deshabille. When used all winter the sleeping porch is a priceless boon, for it not only fuel but does away with making the beds. It is usually heated by the north wind and brief family altercation relative to equitable division of the soapstones. The only articles of furniture in sleeping porch form fitting spring cots, which long sag and short on leg room.

 Does this look like winning the country to democratic plans and principles? Does it show any such gain in popular favor democratic leaders claim that their party has made? If the democratic vote is to be no better than third in such a state California what possible chance has the presidents party, except through the con- tinued division of it's natural opponents in the country at large?
 It is perfectly clear that the republicans and the progressives have only to get together to take immediate command of the destines of the nation and nearly all of the states, except in the south With that certainty in prospect they will not long be kept apart lay the game of democratic leaders and bosses.-Ceveland Leader

THE MrscHIEvoUsNEss OF ExTRAvAGANcE

One of the leading bankers of the day recently told the shareholders of the institution with which he is prominently connected that the world wide scarcity of money and the difficulty both govern ments and large corporations have met in trying to negotiate loans due quite much to the ex- travagance of these times to the waste Of war in the Balkans and Mexico In order to build railroad large building from which no earnings can be expected during the constructive period it is necessary to borrow the money that will pay for labor and materials from those who have saved it, or else pay the cost by getting the thousands who sell their labor their materials to accept tokens of indebtedness in some form or other In private business, of course, the former method is the one adopted. hut in tine of tons themselves the issuing of bonds of paper money often amounts to an adoption of the latter system.
 If no one anything then enterprise on large scale parayzed by the lack of money to tide it over the constructive period. If sufficient money is saved by the people out of the profits withdrawn from active in business from income not expended by the owners, these neces- sary borrowings may be provided for and perma- nent improvements be made by municipalities corporations. If a mad wave of extravaganza sweeps the country, it finds itself in the position of a borrower Usually some substantial portion of the community does save money and in that way the rest from serious difficulties.
 In the opinion of information bankers the world has been more extravagant for several years than in any period known to history since Roman tmes and this extravaganza has been accompanied by a rise in prices which has made it very hard for those who not waSteful and who do money in ordinary times to put by the usual mar gin. of their income against life's contingencies Permanent improvements of all kinds must be halt ed until savings catch up and the equilibrium is restored. The danger signal is always difficulty in finding investors who have spare funds with which they purchase high class bonds make sound mortgage loans. It is for clear indication the ability of investors take up fresh offerings of high class securities that the business world is waiting today and the test will come within the next six months Extravaganza expressed in motor cars and other luXuries is what the great financial authorities of the world are most afraid of today.-New York Commercial
