CHRISTYS WELCOME ID
 PROSPEROUS CITY OF FLAG

After a long residence in Phoenix during which time he has been mayor several terms, Lloyd B. Christy is about to remove, with his family, to Flagstaff, where he will enter busi- ness and make his home.
 Besides his civic and business in- terests, Mir. Christy is president of the Y. M. c. A. and actively connected with the affairs of the First Methodist church. At recent meeting of the official board of that church the fol- lowing resolutions, prepared by a committee consisting of Dr. G. B. Couth, A. F. Jones, and Dr. S. D. Little, were unanimously adopted:
 Whereas, Lloyd B. Chricty and family are soon to sever their con nection with our First Methodist Episcopal church at Phoenix, and are going to make their home in Flag staff;
 And Whereas: The name of Christy has long been a most honored one in our city and in the commercial life of our town;
 "And Whereas: The Methodist church of Phoenix owes great debt of gratitude to Col. Christy for his splendid pioneer work, and to Lloyd Christy for faithful service to the church through over twenty years as superintendent and assistant super intendent of our Sunday school, and for many years as treasurer of our church;
 Therefore be it resolved: That we recognize in Lloyd B. Christy a man of sterling worth, faithful member of the church, and a true and loyal brother.
 Resolved: That we congratulate the church and community of Flag staff on receiving into their midst such a worthy church member and citizen.
 Resolved: That, we assure Brother Christy and his family of our best wishes and prayer as they go to their new home.
 "And Resolved:. That copy of these resolutions be spread on our minutes, copy be sent to Flagstaff, and a copy be given our Phoenix papers and the Christian Advocate. ]"

And the Business Man Should Also Remember
 Who the Taxpayer Is

Tax notices are now being mailed out. We wish that each card carried some suggestion to remind those who persist in trading with the mail-order houses of Kansas City, New York and Chicago, that those great concerns, which draw hundreds of thousands of dollars from Arizona annually pay no share of our taxes. The local mer- chant deserves your loyal patronage for many other reasons than that he simply sells you honest merchandise at fair prices. He is taxpayer, a road-builder and a school-builder as well as a merchant.-Phoenix Repub- lican.

LAW THAT IS BEYOND
 ALL UNDERSTANDING

If the State of Arizona has few years more of such brilliant dem- ocratic statesmanship as she has en- joyed since statehood began, it will only be matter of time when every law on the statute books will have to be repealed by the supreme court. On several occasions we have remarked that the Arizona primary law had all the appearance of being drafted and passed by an assemblage of imbeciles, and the latest freak feature is that section relating to the meetings of the county and state party committees for organization.
 The law on this point says that county committees must meet on the fourteenth day after the primary to organize and elect representatives on the state committee. And the state committee must assemble at Phoenix on the last Monday of the month in which the primary is held. Under provisions of this law the county central committees must meet on Sep tember 26th and they must elect mem bers of the state committee who must be in Phoenix on the 25th. A dem ocratic statesman suffered from a brain storm might conceive plan by which the provisions of this fool law might be complied with, but to an ordinary layman it is a practical demonstration of the complete lack of brains and total incompetency of dem ocratic statesmanship.
 What business has a state legisla- ture to pass law saying when any party representatives should assemble to effect their organizations, and it is simply childish manifestation of a few bigoted minds swelled up with their own importance by little brief authority. When just as much right and applicability the legislature could have passed law saying the Metho- dist church should hold prayer meet ings on Tuesday nights, and regular Sunday service at o'clock in the morning and o'clock in the after noon. The whole election law of the state was passed, not with the idea and purpose of giving the electorate an opportunity for a fair and impar- tial expression of it's sentiments, but solely for the purpose of making it as difficult as possible for the people to unhorse the democratic party in the state administration, and to permit the grafters and boodlers to ply their nefarious trade for their personal az grandizement without fear of outside molestation.
 Party committees have no other function than to look after the well fare of their individual party during the campaign, and are responsible on- ly to their party for their actions which is solely one of trust and con- fidence, the violation of which can in no wise invoke any penalty through the power of the state. Then why in the name of common sanity, should a bunch of cheap politicians posing as statesmen, undertake to dictate to parties when and where the several party committees should meet to tran sact their business. Let us hope the people of Arizona will wake up this fall to full realization of the fact that we have been made the laughing stock of the whole country about long enough with democratic administra- tion, that has attempted to regulate everything from the time a mother should wean her baby, to the exact hour Gabriel should blow his trumpet. --Winslow Mail.

No Need to Claim keokuk Authors
in Other Cities; Plenty Living Here
Residents of Keouk at Present Time Who Have Right to
Be Classed With Writers-Wide Diversity of
Their Product

It's all very well for city to claim
an author after he is dead, or after
he has moved to some other place.
In the latter instance q half dozen
cities can claim the same writer
and have done it. But If you've got
a real live author right in your own
city and give evidence of going to
hold on to him, then he can certainly
be classed among the city's wielders
of the pen.
Keokuk claims Mark Twain, be-
cause he lived here short time; she
claims Rupert Hughes for the same
thing. although both lived in other
cities afterwards. OF course Keokuk
owns certain part of them, and there
is no disputing this poin., and she
has claims to a score OF other
authors, but here are a few writer's
that the city owns bodily at the
present time:
Some Local Writers.
FRANCIS PERRY ELLIOT-Mr.
Elliot has been college professor,
magazine editor and in sundry other
lives of endeavor, but his literary
career dates back but a few years.
1.-The Haunted Pajamas" was his first
book and it achieved a. notable sue
cess. A fantasy, as entertaining as
the most thrilling tale in the, Arabian
Nights, it made a great host Of
friends In the reading world. The
first book was followed by THE
Magic Rug" story similar to THE
Haunted Pajamas." Mr.. Elliot's third
called pals First" is entirely diff
ait ~ &c
sors. 1t is a moving story Of real
life in Kentucky, the home for many
years of the writer. This book was
published by Harpers' and has
achieved substantial success.
CORNELIA MEIGS-Miss Meigs is
a daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Mont
gomery Meigs of this city and resi-
dent here herself She has won
name as a writer of children's-
stories and plays and her work has
received many fine complfm ents from
the critics. One of her most recent
books. The Kingdom Of the Wind
ing Road" is a delightful fairy tale.
A children's play Of hers, which has
been recently published, won prize
in a national contest.
FRANK G.. BEARUSLEY-Dr.
Beardsley is well known as the pas
tor Of the Congregational church
here. DR.. Beardsley has written two
excellent religious works. The first,
History Of American Revivals," was
published by the American Tract 80
ciety, New York, in 1904 A later
work, Christian Achievement IN

Publishing company of Chicago in
1907.

geration then to say that this novel
craft was the middle step between the
monitor and the aIlIbiggun fighting
ship which we are pleased today to
call the dreadnought. It Is curious
that the naval architect breaking
away from tradition at that time
could not have realized the possibili-
ties of the Keokuk type and have
rounded it out into a more perfect
fighting machine. She came into be-
ing only to be forgotten.
1t has been declared by some stud
ents of naval history that the U. S.S.
Roanoke was really the first of our
all-biggun fighting ships, and this 10

vessel carried three turrets in which
were mounted six 11-inch guns. As
