Disa bIed Thernometer

We would not say word about this if the Information had reached us from a Jess reliable source than the Tucson Citizen which has the temperature of Tucson and vicinity in it's keeping. and has charged with responsibility for the protection the good name of the climate of that favored region. And the Citizen discIoses:
 When officials at the agricultural experiment station of the University went to consult the thermometer this morning to earn just how cold il had been during the night it was folind the dark and had failed record the terper9tllrc of what is thought to have been the coIdest night thus far this year Whether was the unprece- dented drop in temperature that ruined consti- tuition of the instrument or whether the spectace |" the first dry Christmas which Arizona has spent drled up the silver fountain of its sad was not stated by officers the university but it Is sad that new and sturdier instrument will be m place tonight and tomorrow.
 The Citizen has Iambasted the ,yea:be, blIraa,i and The Republican under d misappreherson for giving publicity only to the maximum temperature of Tucson and never referring to the minimum. We suppose our contemporary has embraced this opportunity to aHude to what may call the minmumest" temperature. a least a temperature SO low that the thermometer broke it's neck trying to record it and then failed. that the world will never know how cold it really was at Tucson on the morning of December 27
 For this time least, the Citizen is estopped from blaming the weather bureau for negIectns to publish the minimum temperature

coveted GOJnenOurg, one OF SWeoen'S
chief ports on the North Sea.
In 1910 Marie of Russia took her
place at the Swedish court as the
wife of the kings second son. Her
youth, beauty and chic presaged her
popularity.
Presently, gossips added that the
Princess Wilhelm spent far too much
time with M. AssOnivitchi, the Rus
sian military attache.
The Russian military attache was
suspected and detected in suspicious
proximity to improvement plans for
the coast defense monitors.
The military attache resigned and
Prince Wilhelm and his wife left
court for a tour of Swedish naval
stations.
At one port a boy officer, smitten
with the princess beauty, showed her
a secret collection of photographs of
the huge incomplete fortress which,
in the event of invasion, would be the
final base for Swedish military opera
tions.
The lovely princess quietly carried
off the pictures.

She is a princess and she has no
connection with Berlin. Sweden, the
strategic country set between three
warning empires, was the scene of
her espionage.
The arch-spy who directed her was
his majesty, the car of all the Rus
sias.
The king of Sweden was marry
ing his sons. His feudal family laws
restricted the choice of wives for
them.
Sweden was frankly opposed to
welcoming another German princess.
So the king decreed that his second
son, Wilhelm, should marry the
Princess Marie of Russia and the
car strongly approved the union.
That was five years ago.
Prince Wilhelm was-and still is
a splendid man, shy, studious and
silent.
Marie of Russia is his exact oppo-
site. Her childhood and girlhood
were Unadulterated drama.
Daughter of a Russian grand duke,
a brother of the late Car Alexander

Building Roads In Hawkins
County,

County.
Knoxville, Tenn. July by
a majority of 454 in a vote ap-
proximating $500, Hawkins
county today voted to issue
$5OO,O00 of bonds for building
pike roads. Twelve of the II
precincts gave majorities for the
bonds. This will make $3.50, 600
of road bonds issued by this coun-
ty, a previous issue of $3.50, 900
having been spent principally for
grading roads, which will be
macadamanized with the second
issue.
From the above news item,
which is taken from a daily paper,
it seems that Hawkins county
has gone in for good roads in
earnest. $75O,0O0 in road bonds
looks pretty big for a little East
Tennessee county with but slight
ly over %, 900 population by the
last census. However, we will
venture to say that Hawkins
county tried numerous plans to
get good roads before taking the
bond route. If there was any
other way in sight for building
roads, The Partisan would not ad-
vocate a bond issue, but we know
of no Tennessee county that has
built roads without issuing bonds.
Madison county has the best
roads, probably, of any county in
the State, and Madison county
voted bonds to get them. Dick
son county did the same thing.
There are numerous other coun-
ties that have sdone as Madison
and Dickson have. Show US a
county that has good roads and
we will show you a county that
has issued road bonds.
If Hawkins county, with &c.
900 people, can stand $3.50, 900 in
bonds, it does seem that Henry
county, with Is, 400 population,
could afford some kind of a road
bond issue, although it might not
be necessary to vote such a large
one.
A bond issue for roads might
increase taxes a little-it would
increase them only slightly but,
at the same time the good roads
that the bond issue would build
throughout the county would
increase the value of the farm
lands a very great deal. 1t is up
to the people of the county as to
whether we shall keep step with
the times or let the other coun-
ties go marching on to prosperity
without US. Let Henry county
people think this matter over be-
fore we have another Legislature,

get them

Diaz, the man who ruled Mex
leo with an iron hand for thirty
years, is dead. His career was
a remarkable one. Entering the
army of his country at the age
of 16 he fought against the Uni
ted States, later he was one of
Juarez's military leaders and
was largely responsible for the
overthrow of old Santa Anna.
Then with the exception of one
brief period of four years he was
President of Mexico for thirty
years.
A few years ago Diaz was
overthrow by the Madero revo-
luton. Diaz had ruled his coun-
try in such a way that the SYM
patty of the American people
was with Madero, but it now be-
comes evident that the Diaz
regime should have stood. 1t is
a great pity that the Mexican
people supported Madero, in his
revolution, although Madero was
a sincere patriot. The only
trouble was that he was years
ahead of his day and his people.
Mexico was not then, and is not
today, ready for such a free gov
eminent as Madero attempted.
This is demonstrated by tn
chaos that has resulted in the
country, beginning with the
murder of Madero by the blood.
hungry Huerta, and the end OF
which is not yet in sight.
Diaz may have been a little toe
severe with the people but if he
had granted them full power, as
Madero, with his big heart,
wished to do, he would not have
remained President half the time
he held that Office. Diaz made g
good ruler for Mexico, he devel.
oped the country and preserved
peace for thirty years. 1t is to
be hoped that a second Diaz will
arise soon to lead Mexico back tC
peace, order and prosperity. AT
some distant time the country tt
the South of us will be ready fol
a free government but that day
is in the far future.
