much beautiful suburban country and saw the gardens springing mp. and the roses budding with climbing vines reaching out eo help in giving man the necessities and comforts they must have, it occurred to me, why not plant the vacant lots of our city for our poor? There are many such places growing up in weeds; the owners would be glad to have them made use ful. and the city has plenty of idle hands laying up in the jails who could be made better in roint of health and purpose if they were given something to do.
 Many a hungry family could be given vegetables at a nominal cost, and the women of the neighborhood could have an eye to the care and distribution, be- sides much of the foods for the prisoners could be raised in the same manner.
 If the people could only hear the story of hunger as often as some of us; could know how many have lived the winter through on a scant quantity of bread ana peas. there would be gardens blooming and bearing all over Birmingham today, and the pots with it's greens and dunn plings would already boil in many food less homes.
 The city beautiful idea woulda be real-for there is nothing of more Vital importance to the prosperity of com
 
 man plants.
 They too come and go like the faded flowers. The flowers, no matter how neglected. have remembrance of their beauty, an odor of their fragrance Aas sweetened the air. and they have fallen harmless to decay amid the germs of mother earth, but the human plants. neglected, starved, finally depraved and worse than dead, is scar on civiliza- tion--a criticism on the enterprise of the people-no matter how undeserved. The best way to help is to teach people to help themselves, and these public gardens would be lessons to many as well as means of relieving their want It is strange how many back yards are left to grow up in weeds that could be used so successfully in home gardens, and without much labor and only a few dollars expense This Is be. ing successfully tried and Is worth try ing over and over again.

 'I had good many controversies" Now, as a matter of fact, the flSst real difference in respect to politics that you had with Mr. Platt was concerning a franchise tax law wasn't it? , That was the first great difference. That was the greatest first difference. It was late in the day when Colonel Roosevelt said:
 "I had been in favor of a bill to tax franchises but MT. Platt had been against any bill to tax franchises. but I had agreed with MT. Platt that the particular method of taxation outlined in the Ford bill which was taxation by local county officers, was not as wise
 shaving a tax by the state officers,
 but the main point was I wished a fran
 chise tax bill and Mir. Platt and those other organization leaders, who reflected his wishes, were against a franchise tax
 bill and I said that would rather take
 the franchise tax will with what re-
 gardd as the undesirable feature of local
 taxation than have no bill and if I
 couldn't get the bill I wished I would
 sign that bill rather than have none" Do you remember having sent Senator
 Platt on the 18th of May. 1899. imme- diately after the passage of the fran
 chise tax bill as you wanted 1t, the fol-
 lowing telegram:

 Please do not feel annoyed with me if do little preaching. Even in my short period of observation I have seen so many able men who have brought them selves forward to important and powerful positions finally fall down and wander off into political retirement, that I have looked into the cause of 1t and have all ways found substantially the same state of facts. They have been brought for ward by the organiza ton, promoted by the organization, sustained by the organ ization, developed by the organization. until the idea became virtually fixed in their minds that they were the whole thing
 This notion, first inspired by mugwump fattery and then expanded by their own tion with Senator Platt and into at tempts to establish new machines of their own. Then came the end. They have col lapsed by allowing themselves to get out of joint with that general party senti- ment which has gradually centered around Platt as leader, and which has acquired such strength upon his leader ship as to make departures under new am- btions impracticable. The thing l fear Is that these plausible and poisonous mug wumps will at sometime or other involve you in some of their good government entarglements, intended as they always are to help the democratic party and to create dishonest prejudice against decent republicans."

Expensive Shots

Expensive Shots
The first money to be donated to
the county exchequer so far this year
from the Morenci justice court for
disturbing the peace was turned over
on Tuesday of this week when Judge
Lally imposed a fine of $40 on Refu-
gio Romo. 1t transpires that Romo
had unwittingly imbibed a draught of
the notorious bulldog" cider of the
Arizona variety, the kind that will
make a rabbit spit in a bull dogs
face, and in order to work off its
evil effects he procured a six-shootsr
and started to shoot up the town. He

fired eight shots in all and was soon
after arrested by Constable. Hoffman
on a charge of disturbing the peace
and dignity of our law abiding
camp. Justice LaIly thought the
shots were worth at least SIS each
and assessed Romo accordingly. The
fine was paid and the county funds
have now been increased $40. This
is the first blot since the first of the
year on an otherwise clean record
for Morenci and that the fine was
fully comm ensurate with the crime
may tend to have deterrent effect
upon others who may become like
wise afflicted. Tr rf s-s-o
