 It been the experience of those who have in- vested in paving that their property has been i'm proved One certainly would rather rent a house on a paved street than muddy or dusty street We believe the increase of the income from house on a paved will be greater than the annual payment for the paving through a ten-year period, say nothing of the added value of the property and the satisfaction of having the paving.
 Tucson for the last three years has enjoyed un- usual prosperity There may have been other causes for it, but citizens there think they relation between it and the beginning of the paving era

ColoneI Roosevelt and the Primaries.

Those who do not apprase Colonel Roosevelt as a proper candidate for the presidency should not lay the flaterng unction their souls that he will not be candidate because of the requests that have been made in his behalf that his name shall be brought before the primaries those where provision has made for presidential primaries
 There are perhaps. reasons why this request has been made One is that MT. Roosevelt is not member of the republican party. His silence, then. when his is placed before republican primaries would be regarded as a tacit admission that he had become a member of the party. But if he were an avowcd republican, he would probably insist in the present circumstances that the delegates to the na- tonl convention should go there uninstructed
 The reactionary leaders of the republicans fright ened at the looming shadow of Colonel Roosevelt and perceivng the rising popular sentiment in his favor early began a campaign for instructed delegates. It did matter much to them for whom the delegates should be instructed just that they should be tied hand and by instructions, ready to be delivered to the reactionary leaders the proper time. The "tavorte son counted upon to save the day. The more the greater the confusion, and con- fusion is what the reactionaries most desire at Chicago. Amid it they hope accomplish what they could accomplish by direct appeal to the people
 But the favorite making headway. It IS doubtful whether single stalking horse will find its way before national republican convention. Probably very small number of the delegates who will assemble Chicago will be under instructions, though majority of the delegates have pretty well defined intentions what they will do, and they will pretty well know what the voters who elected them done.
 That the reactionary leaders of the republican party have to dread the effect Chicago of the growing demand for the nomination of Colonel Roose welt apparent with daily political develop The perious drifting of the country is awak- ening voters of all parties to the need of having a strong hand guide it and keep it in safe waters; but if there should be storm, there is the greater need of strong man at the helm.
 In view of all these circumstances the friends of Colonel Roosevelt glad that he has caused his name to withheld only the republican but also the progressive primaries.

PERFECTION

This world was made, I know not when AS we are now, it was then, We multiply and have to spend, Our wealth to help make the amend. The marsh, the swamp, the wilderness, No longer haunts their fertileness. The city, town, metrOpoless, They picket now, the once worthless. In desert land we have the rose. We cross it now in sweet repose. The Indians, too, have lost their bows Because the water through it flows. Perfection neared on every hand The sea as we'll as on the land. But let us try with all we can, To approach unto a perfect man.

The Shields Power Bill.

The only redeeming feature of the Shields water power bill which passed the senate day before yester- day was written into it Intentionally or affixed by amendment is the almost uncon- oealed intent the power trust, and that we assume will prevent the passage of the bill by the house. least, in it's present shape. Certainly 1t would invite the presidents for the bill in no respect is better than similar bills that were vetoed by President Roosevelt and President Taft.
 The bill gives private corporations almost unlim- ited control over the undeveloped er-pOwer sites country. That itself would be sufficiently bad but it contains another provision, especially favorns one or another the eighteen companies which are popularly understood constitute the power 
 As the bill was first reported at the end of fifty years the government could take plant, but it would have to take with it of furnishing light and power in which the company might be en- gagged Of course the government could not do that unless fifty years hence had been embarked on general policy government ownership. Also if the government the bill should take plant 1t would have pay not only the actual value of such a plant but the full Value of it determined, suppose by it's earning power-much unearned in
 
 This section of the original bill has been somewhat amended, but believe, only in provision relating personnel of the appraisal board of which the secretary of war would be member
 But at any rate the government under the bill would be deprived of the control of the power sites for fifty years and private corporations would be vest ed with almost unlimited power in the matter of the condemnation of property. The rate making power, as amended, would lie with the states power sites situated except in cases where the service would be interstate.

To see the Flashers the street, you'd swear they had a pile, For them dress up to beat the very latest syie They roll around in taXcabs. put tang in tango tea And Mrs. Flasher ghly gabs on high society. They tuck a goodly meal away when others give a spread, But often in their own home they go supperless to bed. To buy the their table lacks they haven't cash enough. For all they get goes their backs to play the game called bluff"

William J. Bryan has made many political mistakes in his time, but he wise enough not to throw himself the fight against the president over the warning resolution. Defeat was in the air even MT Bryan could spell it. And defeat then would have his displacement forever from the leadership Of his party So long there was no ttular leader of party, MT. Bryan's position as actual leader was undisputed. when there is titular leader con trolling the distribution of the lOaves and fishes any other leader is superfluity MT Bryan has found out slowly during the last three Now, for the first time in twenty years. he is marching more or less reluctantly in the ranks. There are indications that he has learned his place.
