A GOOD PRIMARY LAW

One state at least-Oregon- cor
 rectly solved the problem of the pri- maTies, together with the referendum, the initiative and constitutional amenu- ments. Its people enjoy in full the right of the initiative and can vote. at any time, on any question they may wish to consider-and do so vote. AL though at every election there are submitted three or four times as many constitutional amendments as Louisi- ana, which is regarded as too prolific
 n this respect, a full and intelligent vote is boiled in Oregon on all of them, and the votes, it is perhaps needless to say, are counted as cast.
 Government is left in the hands of the people of Oregon. What an inter- est is taken there in politics and elec- Ions is evidenced by the fact that 2OO,92S voters have enrolled for the ;oming primaries. AS Oregon contains put little over one-third the population of Louisiana, such an enrolment for the primaries would stagger Louisiana politicians, What would they think. TOT instance, if between 5OO,OO0 and 6OO,OOO voters were enrolled for the primaries and proposed to take part n. them?
 Oregon has had it's present primary 'aW for ten years, being one of the -1rst of the states to adopt it. The startling statement is made that dur ng this ten years the law has done service without an amendment. Per oaps that explains it's success. The people got good election and urinary avs to start with, and do not have to 'e engaged all the time in tinkering With and amending them.

FRANK COX DIES VERY
 SUDDENLY IN L|VERNORE

PHOENIX, Ariz., July 1.-Hon. Frank Cox, general counsel for the Southern Pacific lines in Arizona, died about 100 o'clock Monday morning in a sanitarium at Livermore, Califor- mia. Word of his death was received in a telegram to pr. Wylie, his phy- sician. The immediate cause was a hemorrhage of the brain which had been forecaSe for months by his enor. nous blood pressure About a year ago MT. Cox suffered a nervous break down though his condition was made known only to his relatives and more intimate friends. He was apprehen- sive of the end and began setting his house in order, selling off his property and disposing of his cattle interests.
 About three weeks ago, accompani- ed by Mrs. Cox, he went to California to remain through the summer The telegram stated that death came while he slept.
 MT. Cox was nearly 5S years of age. He leaves beside his widow, two brothers, Beverly and William H. Cox the former living at Riverside, Cal, and the latter in Arizona. Mrs. Peary Sears is a sister.
 MT. Cox was born in Belmont, Tex, the son of the late Judge Ivy H. Cox. He was a student at Soule University at Chapel Hill, Tex His education was continued at San Diego where he began the study of law. He went to Phoenix in 1879 and two years later he was admitted to the bar and be- came one of the best known attorneys of the territory.
 He was elected district attorney in 1884 and served four terms. Meantime he was a member of the law firm of Cox, Street & Willias. Later he was associated with the late Col. J. F. Will son. He declined the fifth nomination for the office of district attorney and devoted himself to a general law prac- tice in which he was remarkably sue cessful.
 In 1894 MT. Cox became general counsel for the Southern Pacific and for some years he was legal adviser Tor the Western Union Telegraph com pany and for Wells Fargo & Co.
 Previous to his association with tn, Southern Pacific, MT. Cox had taken an active part in democratic politics, but after that he declined all official honors rendered him by his party and gave himself up wholly to professional work.

SAD STATE OF AFFAIRS

Seventeen pioneers of this state are on the waiting list at Arizona Pio- neers' Home, waiting for seventeen other pioneers to die before they can be cared for. This is indeed a sad condition. The men who blazed the trails of this great state and fought the Apaches should be cared for in their old age and the Arizona legis- lature should make immediate provi- sion for enlarging the home to provide for all eneitled to admission there.

DANIELS DRY NAVY ORDER
 IN EFFECT TUESDAY NIGHT

WASHINGTON, July -.-Afloat and ashore, Tuesday sees the last of the wine mess in the United States Navy. Secretary Daniels famous prohibition order goes into effect at midnight, after which any officer found in pos session of alcoholic liquor on board ship or at any naval station, is guilty of misconduct. There is only one ex- ception, made in the case of the ships surgeon, who may keep a limited SUD- ply of spirits on hand for medical use only. But admiral or captain is as guilty as the seaman if he keeps stock of wines or liquors for his own consumption or the refreshment of his guests.
 The naval hostess, too, must give up the punchbowl as magnet for her guests if the scene of the enter tainment be within the naval jurisdic- ton, as at the naval academy, the naval station and the navy yards. This feature appealed strongly to Secretary Daniels, who believed that many young officers could trace their downfall to over indulgence in punch at these soc- ial functions.
 The naval regulations which have heretofore allowed wardroom officers to form a wine mess or club for the purchase and use of wines will be stricken out, and these stern words will be substituted:
 'The use or introduction for drink ing purposes of alcoholic liquors on board any naval vessel, or within any navy yard or station, is strictly pro- hibited, and commanding officers will be directly responsible for the en- forcement of this order''
 Since announcing this change some time ago Secretary Daniels had en- couraged expressions of opinions of his action, but the adverse comment from many of the officers w..o held
 to be an infringement of their per- sonal liberties, did not go far toward leading the secretary from his firm stand in the matter.
 The only possibility of modification s said to be special dispensation which may be granted during the ex- change of international courtesies. O on such an occasion as the gathering of ships of all nations at the opening of the Panama canal.
 The only nation thus far to follow the example set by the United States is Norway, whose parliament on June 10 passed a resolution making both he army and navy messes dry. This was pleasing to Secretary Daniels, and he believes other nations will come to the support of this theory that alcohol and military efficiency 10 not mix. The German emperor las lately been insistent upon tenn oerance among the midshipmen, and in Russia whose naval losses in the Jap- lnese war have been charged largely o liquor, the temperance movement las also gained ground.

WINS OVER DISEASE
 IN SOUTHERN MEXICO

No more important department eX
 ists in the army than the medica,
 corps. This simple fact has been rec
 ognized with painful certainty in this country since the blunders and disas ters of the Spanish-American war
 when our record of sickness and deaths from disease was worse, in ra- tio, than the toll of the Crimean war of 40 years before, when the British, French and Russian forces lost three times as many men from disease as they did in actual fighting.
 The United States has a brigade in the field under Brigadier General Fred erick Funston. Conditions approxl- mating actual warfare, everything ex- cept fighting, prevail there The bri- gade also has to administer the un- healthy city of Vera Cruz, where 3O,- coo Mexican inhabitants are of very little assistance in the enforcement of what are to us very simple principles of hygiene and sanitation. And yet almost nothing has been heard about general sickness since the Americans landed at Vera Cruz last April. AS to epidemics, there has been none. Thus far not even malaria and dystentary are unusually frequent, even though nf ha iofr is semi-tropic. The reason is that Uncle Sam's army health fighters are on the job.
 The diseases that our forces in Mexico must face, are dysentary typhoid fever, malaria, yellow fever and typhus. The last named two, at one time the most dreaded pestilences of armies, are now to be faced with IS little terror as smallpox strikes us oday.
 The causes of both are now known. They are encountered in the open. Yellow fever, science knows is due o the bite of a mosquito. Typhus ever, once the most contagious of all diseases, is caused by the bite of a ouse
 The only way to fight these diseases to have them whipped at the start. | Clean food, potable water, bacterially inspected milk, vaccination, anti-ty- hold inocculation, rapid and thorough lsposal of camp waste every morning, he use of incinerators, trenches, etc.. nd the institution of officers and men long sanitary lines-these are the 1eans by which our army medical orps is preserving the health of our oys at Vera Cruz, along the border, l Hawaii, the Philippines and Pana-

THE DEAD LETTER OFFICE

A year ago there were 1S0 employees in the dead letter office. Now there are about eighty. The reason is found in the fact that the sleuths who fath- om the mysteries of poor addresses have become more proficient in their work, and that better results have been attained in tracing badly address ed mail and turning it over to the sev- eral postoffices and divisions and rail- road centcrs throughout the country.
 Foreign mail, which has in the past been the source of much concern to the dead letter office, is now handled at the ports of entry of this country.
 The dead letter office was establish
 ed almost 90 years ago, and is one of Washington's oldest and most cele- brated institutions. Unlikely many of the divisions of the department it was not created by statute, but became an institution resulting from regula- tions that letters be sent to the dead letter office"
 Before 1860 no detailed record was kept of it's tranactions, although the records show the receipt of 3S0,000 letters in 1880 and 900,000 in 1887. The senate adopted a resolution on March g, 1857, requesting the postmas- ter general to state the number of let ters received in the dead letter office during the fiscal year, and to deter mine what further legislation was nee essary to diminish the number of such letters and to provide for their return to senders. The receipts for that year were 2,50O,000 letters and parcels.
 In 1861 Congress passed an act pro- viding that all money found in unde- livered dead letters was to be used l. promote the efficiency of the dead let ter office
 In 1862 the report states that when letters containing postage stamps or articles valued at less than one dollar could not be restored to the writers. they were to be destroyed with their contents.
 In 1862 Congress authorized the re. turn of all letters bearing the names of writers whose contents provided sufficient revenue to pay the clerk to handle them. The per centage of money found in unclaimed letters was nearly four times greater before 1864 than at present
 The money order system was estab- lished in 1864. Stamped envelopes i'm printed with the address of sender and request for return were issued by the government in 1865 for the purpose of securing the return of letters to writ ars without opening There were en- Dloyed in 1875, 29 men and 50 women. and the office was mentioned as al model of industry and punctuality.
 Last year the force consisted of about 1S0 persons handling more than 2,000,O00 pieces of mail matter an lually, and returning without charge i Ill matter paid at the letter rate.

 Nothing is too good for our soldiers ;n the opinion of the army medical of ficers. A sick soldier is a poor sol dier A well one is a good one. And Uncle Sam's soldiers are healthy ones, and if the situation in Mexico remains so that the sanitary regulations now in force can be, maintained. they will come back looking like boys who have been away on an outing.

MEDIATION ENDS AND
 WAR MUST NOW 60 ON

WASHINGTON, D. C., July l. The effort to bring peace to Mexico has failed and war must go on. T is the announcement from the Niagara Falls mediation commissioners and it's direct result will be the capture and footing of Mexico City by Mexican rebels unless the United States moves on the capital from Vera Cruz at once There is unusual activity in army cir cles since the definite announcement of the failure of mediation.

RUSHING WORK ON 5. ). B A.;
 TRAINS RUNNING IN WEST END
The Calexico Chronicle says:

The Calexico Chronicle says:
 That Imperial Valley will be ship ping it's vast crops to San Diego in 1915 over the San Diego and Arizona railroad is evidenced by news emana- ting from the coast terminus, where it is announced that trains on the new road are now carrying passengers and freight as far east as Tecate with con- tracts let for 451 miles further to Ca risse pass, where the heavy tunnel work will be encountered.
 Tracklaying has been completed to the Mexican town of Tecate and the daily trains now run to that point. Robert Sherer & Co.,, contractors, are now working on the two tunnels be- tween the Mexican Tecate and the American settlement of the same name situated on the boundary miles to the east.
 On June 30 the contract was let for the completion of the grading between the American Tecate and Carisso pass, a distance of 45.1 miles, which will bring the entire line of the SD. & A. railroad under active construction work and assure it's completion by July of 1915. Some of the largest con- tracting firms on the coast already have bids in for this work and there xxyi1l hn ;c ;,, contracts for the last remaining sec tions of the road.
 When the trackwork is we'll in hand the construction of the waterfront ter minals in San Diego will be started also the building of the repair shops on land owned by the company adja- cent to National City.
 Work is still progressing on the S D. & A. railroad near Coyote Wells and when this is projected to the base of the mountains, the hardest part of the construction will be encounter ed, that of tunnelling through the ranges. By the time the tunnels are completed. the rails will have been laid east so as to connect enc road and give a clear track from San Diego to Holt vile, under the present system of planning.
 The s. D. & A. railroad is merely utilizing the Holton interudban line for the present as the main line of the road will extend southward and pass through Calexico which has long been recognized as the chief freight collec- tion point in Imperial valley.
 The grading on the desert is a con paratively easy matter, the land being even and with slight grade, no cuts or fills are necessary and teams with scrapers are about all the equipment needed. The large item of bridges. trestles and culverts is almost elimi- mated in the Valley, the distribution of natural waterways being limited to dry streams which, of course. nave to be bridged, but the expense is mini mixed as compared to real rivers. swamps and heavy cuts.
 The increased acreages in cotton adjacent to Calexico and the large ter ritory contiguous in Mexico, makes Calexico the final destination of all roads entering the valley. Passenger traffic on very few roads pays a divi- oend. It is the freight hauls that e. able Investors to clip coupons from railroad stocks.
