The average ironmaster knows much

the history of nations, the science of
government and the broad questions

chiefly tied up with the operation of
their own affairs. The average work.
ingman has more time for broad
thought than the average employer,
and when one of them gives up a

Of good candidate, it is safe to say
that he is no fool, but thinker, even
though his thinking may be some
times wrong"
"After ALL" said the lawyer, "if
sixty per cent of the American voters
think rightly at election time, it is
plain that the forty per cent who
vote against them must be thinking
wrongly, and yet there must be
great many people in that percentage
who are not fools, even if they are
mistaken. There are times, perhaps,
when the forty per cent are right, and
the sixty per cent in error, and have
no doubt that there have been occa-
sions when the whole caboodle were
mistaken, and nobody right at all.
And still there were wise men among
them!"-Detroit Saturday Night.

was a distinct recognition of

has been in nearly every Pro-

that the records of no Probate

by law that many applicants for en-
 listment were placed on a waiting list
 over five hundred being on that list at
 one time in this office. It is extremely
 probable, to my mind. practically cer-
 tain, that within very short time the
 navy will have reached the maximum
 allowed by law and applicants will
 have to await their turn. Also they
 must be American citizens" The officer produced table which

 nothing during this entire period. Then when he reaches fifty two years of age, an age which stretches Ike a i dead line across the path of the loco motive engineer, the navy man may retire on an annual pension of $104 a month, this in addition to the interest on his $2S,7SS.
 Again, should the man show the necessary efficiency, he may, long be- fore the thirty years have passed, have had ample opportunity to become a warrant officer, with a salary of $1,50O to $2, 400 per year, and with the priv ilege of retiring at sixty-two years or age as a commissioned officer on three quarters pay for the remainder of his life.

Governor Visits St. Johns Sufferers and Manages to Settle All Claims
 Against State

Governor Hunt returned yesterday from St. Johns, Arizona, where ac- companied by Charles R. Osborn. secretary of the board of control. he adjusted the claims of the sufferers in the disastrous flood, which wrecked the homes of several hundred sett- lers last winter.

 On his way back, the governor stopped at Flagstaff, where in behalf of the state of Arizona he welcomed Governor Glenn of North Carolina who was in Flagstaff for the purpose Of featuring at the chautauqua being held this summer.

CONVERSATION IF BLUEJACKETS
 4 COMPAR|SON

In the recent hearing before the Ar bitration Commission into the de- mandS of the locomotive engineers for increased pay there was a vast deal of talk about the present wage sched- ule of that and other skilled classes of labor.
 Time and again the assertion was made by those opposing the increase tha, the railroad employees of this country. taken as a whole, average a higher rate of pay than that of any other class of skilled labor A navy officer who had been reading the tes- timony and who had been on duty at the navy recruiting bureau in this city, has made a calculation to show that the bluejacket of the navy earns a higher rate of pay than does the railroad man.
 From this calculation he finds that the average railroad man averages SG40 year. Tt may be matter of surprise to many" this officer said ito be told that the average pay of the American bluejacket is better than that of the railroad man. But it is no less true. The average bluejacket not the picked man, nor the man of the special class, but the bluejacket and the rescruit who has just joined the service. receives pay which av- erages something more than $420 a year While this may sound smaller, as a matter of fact it really is larger, because, in addition to his pay the navy man gets his board and lodging and medical attendance free
 Tt may also come as another sur prise this officer continued, ito know that it is now almost as difficult for a man to enlist in the navy as it is to
 
 the post-office. That is because of the rigid physical and mental and moral examination which the applicant has to pass. No longer is the navy ref uge for trunks TT loafers But while the man of vicious or depraved habits is not tolerated in the service there is much of the old time prejudice which has not yet been overcome.
 Twenty, thirty or forty years ago, particularly in the days of sailing ships, the enlisted men of the United States Navy were not desirable as a class As matter of fact most of them were foreigners. One of my old commanding officers spoke of a ship on which he served in which one gun crew was conspicuous from the fact that most of them were Americans. They put up sign on their gun Eng fish spoken here This happened on American -of-war within the memory of living middle-aged men.
 But all of that is now changed. The navy now is more than calling: it is a profession. The modern battleship is so complicated that highly skilled men are required to keep it up to the standard of efficiency eXaeted. Skilled labor must he well paid, and in the navy this is the case. Not long ago the navy was so near the limit allowed

 Results. Doctors Approve.

The camaaign fer funds to be used in the erection of a new Deaconess hospital is still being waged with Unabated interest. In fact the re- plies for requests for funds have beer unusually liheral
 The fact that practically all of the doctors of the city have endorsed the project of a new hospital Is consid cred a good omen by the promoters.
 The following reasons are advanced by those interested in the new hos pital as valid reasons why the new hospital should be erected:
 First. Phoenix ard the Salt River Valley is the Mecca of health seek : CTS from all pafts of the United States.
 Second. The burden imposed on tho city and county is very heavy anl needs immediate relief by a large philanthropic enterprise.
