In the dull midsummer season there is little for the lover of the drama to do, save to ponder on the possl hilities of the soon-to- here season.
 As far as Phoenix is concerned sev- eral things are pretty well settled For one thing there will be no new theatre this season; out the rehabi- litation of the Elks theatre will make up for that.
 Bookings have alrcadv-.been made for a number of prominent attractions which are touring to the coast and announcement will shortly he made of the complete list of the companies which Mir. Redmond has booked to appear at the Elks.
 Although the somewhat complicated condition of affairs of the Columbia tleater has prevented announcement of any definite plans for next sea son. It is understood that the legal tangles relating to ownership have been strengthened out and the most attractive theater in Phoenix will most certainly play a prominent part in the seasons activities.
 As far as pictures are concerned the qvality of the offerings Us con stantly' improving and number of the most notable productions will he shown here during the winter months There is likely to be a number of new developments in the moving picture situation which will have very marked effect on Phoe- nix.

Need for Strong Leader.

That the tide at present is setting
toward the Republican party is ad-
mitted by many Democrats. There is
wide distrust. A great deal of capital
and a great many men needing work
are idle.
But discouraging as the existing
outlook for the Democrats is, the Re-
publicans should not forget two very
important things:
"a Election day is eighteen months
away, and in that time the Demo
Gratis may recover some of their lost
ground; and ca if a change is or
dered at the polls in November OF
next year. the mandate can only be
satisfactorily executed by a party
strong in its union and purposes and
well led. There is no warrant for
belief that the Republican label alone
just any old candidate on any old
platform-can win.

Jobless Turn to Cold Mining.


How to provide for the army of the
unemployed. thrown out of work be-
cause of the business depression re-
sulting from the European war, is
naturally a much more serious prob
lem in the British colonies than any
where else outside of the continent of
Europe. The city of Edmonton, Can
ada, has found at least partial solu-
ton, and one that puts no added bur-
den on either the taxpayer or the char
liable. The bars of the Saskatchewan
river, which runs through the city,
contain much GOLD dust of the very
fine -four variety With the outbreak
of the European war and the neces-
sity to provide as much available
work for men whom war conditions
might throw out of employment, the
city council turned to the gold-mining
industry, which offered returns right
within a hundred yards of the city's
main streets. A number of expert
enced mining men who had settled in
the city after the Klondike rush of
'9S offered to act for a while as in
structors to the uninitiated, and some
200 men soon went to work. The aV-
erage cleanup per man for the months
of August and September was about
$3.50 to 81 day.-Popular Mechanics

TIME TO GET BUSY
Republicans Should Organize for
Victory Now.
Immense Majority Of Business Men Of
the Country Will Welcome Re-
turn Of Good Government
and Craftsmanship.

This suggestion is being pressed
upon business men: "Organize for
next year. You elected Mckinley
on business issue in 1s99cc. s.l.i you
can elect man in opposition to Will
son if you go about the matter
promptly and in the right way. Stand
together. and the fights won
The business interests undoubtedly
elected Mr.. Mckinley. States which
had always gone Republican went Re-
publican that year by Unprecedented
majorities. while several states which
had never voted for a Republican
presidential candidate improved that
opportunity. 1t was victory achieved
under shibboleth which appealed d.
rectly to business interests. big and
little.
The silver issue as presented by
Mr.. Bryan sent a chill up and down
the spine of the business man wher-
ever be resided. And the greater his
own interests and the interests OF
others in his vicinity. the greater his
quake. The threat of a fifty-cent dol
lar first upset him, and then nerved
him to resistance. He came into &C
ton without much urging, and once
in action worked with all his might.
Next year. however. the issue will
not be so clear cut Business is dis
gruntled. but on several accounts.
Manufacturing has been hit by the
new tariff. Corporations have been
Disguised, both by the new trust reg
ulations, and by the organization OF
the federal trade commission. Bank
ing circles are not altogether assured
of the efficacy in its present form of
the new financial measure. While
business unrest is general, it is not
referable to any one thing. So that
to write a platform, make a nomina-
ton and conduct a campaign bring
will be no easy matter.
Mr.. Wilson won his nomination at
Baltimore through the influence part
ly OF his environment. Although he
had made his peace with Mr.. Bryan,
he was accepted by many Democrats

Bryan because of his, Wilson's, resi-
dence and associations. 1t was felt
that man who lived in New Jersey,
a manufacturing stronghold, and next
door to New York, the great flnan-
cial stronghold. would be safer in the
White House than Mr. Bryan, who
lad come to distinction and influence
in an agricultural belt educated on
distrust of and opposition to nearly
everything east of the Mississippi
river.
But many of these Democrats are
now either in open opposition to Mr..
Wilson or sulking. and upon their
number depends in a measure next
years result at the polls. Republicans
must begin at once to prepare Cor
victory.

Little Elsie Perry, daughter of C. L.
Perry of Wilson, N. c.. was saved
from the fangs of rabid dog by the
bravery of a nondescript dog. the
property of Mr.. Perry, and the con-
slant playmate of little Elsie.
While playing in front of her home
the little girl was attacked by large
dog, which came running down the
street. Her playmate, much smaller
than the attacking dog. threw himself
on it, and battled grimly, until the
little girl escaped into the house. The
canine hero was terribly bitten in the
encounter, and when it was learned
that the strange dog had rabies, the
hero had to be shot, as physicians
said it was certain he would go mad.
He was buried with the highest hon.
