The Gospel of Cheer

Mark Tapley. in the romance of Dickens, you member. cheerful No matter what conditions troubles he encountered Mark always a cheer full side the prospect And when he couldn't be cheerful usual he bravey insisted on being as cheerful possible. Americans need to emulate the example of Tapley.
 With the world mostly at war, the United States is yet only dabbling in the pool of blood. Let's be thankful that, bad circumstances and standing in this respect, they worse. True we are yet in no condition defend ourselves if assailed by rapacous power. But com ing to recognize this fact and perhaps we'll be able to take the proper preparatory steps by and by indeed some steps being taken. Let's be hopeful-and vigilant in this regard.-Detroit Free Press.

Why News is Lacking

Readers of the newspapers of Phoenix and Ari- zona complain that they cannot depend upon the papers for news results of the inspection of the ballots in the governors contest The complaint is well grounded but the newspapers are not to blame and nobody is to blame for the paucity of informa- ton. With equally great reason the stockholders of a mine might complain early stage of the de- velopment work that it had shown the wealth of the property.
 There is a general misunderstanding regarding the inspection which as we have taken occasion say really part of the contest but is only prepar- atory to it. Nothing accomplished by the inspection boards is binding, and nothing the boards accomplish is necessarily determinative The boards pass upon nothing
 They check the work of the election boards and discover whether made by those boards. Many errors though many expected, have been found with the inspection about half com pleted Every such discovery gain a loss contestant the contestee. The figures thus compiled by clerks of the inspection boards if they agree the tallies kept by each of the of any board will probably be accepted by the court as final But nothing else done by the inspec- ton boards can be final or as have said, in- dicative.
 The inspectors cause certain ballots known dis puted ballots to be laid aside determination by courts. of these ballots favor Governor Hunt and some favor Mir Campbell As how these ballots will finally every citizen of Arizona knows just as much as the members of the inspection boards.
 All sorts of rumors are carried of the lnspec- ton rooms Some of them without any founda tion and some of them based misunderstood information. Messrs. Wood and Plunkett of of the boards partisans of the governor have issued statement in which they claim that the governor has made net gain of s3 But they afford no de- tailed information on the subject. and beside

 "Is this a walking party?' he asked. SO all the audience heard him. ''I, too can walk; and I shall walk out if it is not stopped"
 A moment later he was shaking his finger at the audience because the walking was resumed. Then two per sons coughed.

STRONG FORCE HOLDS
 F0RT FUR H-GOV.

That there were 250 armed men in the state house Sunday night and at least a part of them in the governors office yesterday morning, when Tom Campbell presented himself as gov ernor. is the statement of O. C. Thomp- son, whose son. William Thompson, q militiaman in federal service, was sum moned to the state house early yes terday morning. Young Thompson. who is in federal service and home on furlough. went to the state house, saw the guardsmen and civilians with their Springfelds, and returned home, because. as he says, there was no one there qualified to give me orders. " From what can be gathered, the guardsmen who did attend the mid night party. were there merely at the request Of Adjutant General Harris. and not by his orders There were
 more civilians than guardsmen, and one member of the guard is said to
 have been kept busy all night showing the civilians how to load and operate | the Springfields. IL is the presumption 1 that the rifles were secured at the 1 state armory.

PADEREwskI YosT HIS TEMPER

lBnace Jan PedereWSkf tempeTa- ment got the better of him during an address which he made in the Metro politan opera house, under the aus pices of the Polish central relief com mittee of Philadelphia. The noted pianist stopped four times his plea for Poland to scold prominent citizens who were seated behind him on the stage.
 The first victim of Paderewski's an- ger was Dr. J. Dordorsky, chairman of the meeting, to whom the virtuoso complained because a draft annoyed him. Others on whom he vented his displeasure were persons who were walking in the rear of the auditorium and those in the audience who were coughing.
 Society notables who filled the boxes listened with amaZement as the artist displayed his temper. He even threat ened to leave the building and was appeased only when Doctor Dordonsky visibly agitated. asked in a tremulous voice that quiet be restored, The trouble began when Paderewski felt the draft

Mr. Hunt and the Committee

It is hard to believe that former Governor Hunt and his advisers win persist in defiance of the laws after representatives of his party in the per of the chairman and the secretary of the demo- cratic central committee have pointed that it is defiance. The chairman and the secretary, in a letter to the committeeman, say: >s
 "A contest is pending in the courts; the
 courts which Governor Hunt has appealed
 have expressed the view that by the decara-
 tion of the result of the of votes and
 upon the official returns Campbell was en-
 titled to have issued to him certificate of
 election. This being true, the issue in this
 contest is henceforth not to determine
 whether Campbell shall take his seat, but
 whether, having done so he shall a result
 Of the termination of the contest now pend
 ing, be entitled to retain his seat No soph-
 istry argument disturb this issue, nor
 it be affected by the belief that the con-
 test will result in showing Governor Hunt to
 have the highest number of legally cast,
 votes"
 The chairman and the secretary as well as majority of the executive committee friends of the governor They were chosen because they were his friends because they belonged to the Hunt faction in the Hunt-olney campaign The state central committee itself strongly Hunt and made effort to conceal it's anpathy to the governor in its declaration of principles. after the primary campaign had ended, when preparations were being made for the general campaign, a majority of the committee either because it's opposition the gov ernor had not abated and the committee did not wish to be Identified with his campaign because 1t did not want to take the blame for his then probable de- feat at the general election turned the management of the committee to the adherents of the gov ernor A part of the majority opposed to that but they overruled on the ground that if the governor compelled to rely upon a hostile com

Let the sea beat it's thin torn hands In anguish against the shore, Let it Between the headand and cliff: Let the sea shriek out it's agony Across waste sands and marshes, And clutch great ships Tearing them plate from steel plate In reckless anger; Let it break the white bulwarks Of harbor and city; Let it sob and scream and laugh In sharp fury, With white salt tears Wet on its written face; An, Let the sea still be mad And crash in madness among the shaking
