 It is all very well to talk and work for big things for Phoenix and to watch for them in the clouds, but there should be a recess in this star gazing and a look taken under foot.
 Every voice in Phoenix should be raised in q demand 10 the city com mission tkat if take steps inlmedi- ately 10 give this city enough street crossings to keep the people out of the mud.
 If you have q guest at your home from outside the city and it rains. you must either keep him in the house all the time or lead him out to bog in the mud on the street cross l ings Is that guest likely to leave the city with an exalted or favorable l opinion of Phoenix and its people, On the contrary. he will tell the world that the capital of Arizona is strong on enterprise and short on street | crossings.

Experience has taught birds that human beings their enemies that starvation is very unpleasant and that dead they likely to remain so for long time. When they choose between their fear of death and their fear of men. have they sensations which correspond the worry which sometimes effects human beings?
 It is very fine and proper for the public health service to tell all humans worry but a greater than any in the public health service said much some 1900 and in better language than that used by the service expert, but mankind is not yet certain how far il apply the injunction to take thought for the morrow Not nfrequently in these days the people who avoid worry are called upon 10 support those who have worried thus standing between these people almshouse.

BARGAIN OFFER
 CLOSES MIDST
 GOLDEN FLOOD

The whir of the cash register in the business office of The Republican yesterday was so continuous and grew so monotonous that Il became almost hateful to everybody except the circu- lation manager. He bore it resignedly and being q Christian, almost cheer fully. There was never another day like il in the annals of circulation en- deavor in this part of the country and at night more than S4 coo had poured through the cash register in a single day, a big eliminating addition to the steady stream that had been pouring through the register during the ten days of the bargain period. But that [ was not all for yesterday there was q high stack of late mail containin" sub scriptions which were not entered be- cause of the weariness of clerks. That mail and what will come In this morn ing will be used for the breaking Of the Sabbath today No doubt the flood in diminished volume will continue a day or two longer. bringing in subscriptions mailed before the expiration of yester- day. '~sa
 The last day of The Republican, bargain offer period has been an unus- ually busy one IL has been conducted with very little effort on the part of The Republican. that is little effort in securing subscriptions but there has been a mighty effort in taking care oi them. For days extra attaches of tho circulation department have been pre- empting the desks of reporters and fill ing every available space about ths office
 Though the bargain period Is now over. there is still a mountain of work 10 be done. Altogether the bargain period has been q most successful ont and very profitable one to the ad- vertisers Of The Republican.

SCRIPTURE
Proverbs 2: 1-9

My sor. if thou wilt receive my words, and hide my commandments with thee;
 So that thou incline thine car unto wisdom. and aply thine heart to un- derstanding,
 Yea, if thou criest after knowledge, and liftest up thy voice for understand ing:
 If thou seekest her as silver. and searchest for her as for hid treasures
 Then shalt thou understand the fear of the Lord, and find the knowledge of God.
 For the Lord giveth wisdom: out of his mouth cometh knowledge and un- derstanding.
 He layeth up sound wisdom for the righteous: he is a buckler to them that walk uprightly.
 He keepeth the paths of judgment, and preserveth the way of his saints.
 Then shalt thou understand right eousness. and judgment. and equity; yea, every good path.

The leoisIature

The third state legislature will convene tomorrow in unusual circumstances. They, different from any far recall have ever attended the opening of legislative session country. Though not parallel the situation recalls the session of the Kentucky legislature in 1900 There then a gubernatoria contest which about be settled by the legislature under authority somehow derived from the "Goebel law" There is no such authority vested in the Arizona legislature and there no desire among the members to exercise such authority if it existed
 There is nothing the Arizona legislature can do with reference the gubernatoria contest and there is nothing that large majority of the members would wish to do, beyond securing correct nterpre- tation of the will of the pronounced last November. In this matter believe the members of the legislature representative electorate While. perhaps every member feels personal prefer ence for either MT Campbell Mir Hunt they will not be disposed make declaration of that prefer ence without public for doing so.
 We know many of the members who have seen service and we know many who have not but we be- leve that majority of both level headed men who, whatever they may think of MT. Campbell or Mir Hunt, think much more of Arizona and it's repu- tation for good order. They would not we believe contribute to the confusion which already prevails
 The dispute is in the courts, where we SUD- pose, there will be decision which will be suffi- cient guide to the legislature for immediate action: when it may know which shall be recognized either MT Campbell or MT. Hunt What the later decision in the contest may be will be of immediate con- cern.
 The adherents of MT Campbell without impro- priety might urge the right to recognize him at once as the only holder of any of title to the office certificate of election. The friends of Mir Hunt have absolutely ground for recognition of him But the recognition of either would come only under the head of moral support and would not finally have any bearing the fortunes of Mir Hunt or Mir. Campbell
 IL has been suggested that the legislature after convenng immediately adjourn until the Identity of de facto governor has been determined That would perhaps, be well after the work of organization has been completed, unless the legislature could be as- sufed or the early decision by the supreme court on MT CampbePs application for a writ of mandamus
 IL would not, though, be advisable to wait until after the conclusion of the contest which might not De finally reached for three four months for while the acts of d de facto governor in connection with legislation might be questioned. they could afterward be egalized by the legislature if contest should show him not to be the governor

NOT MANY STACKER
MARRIAGES in CITY
But Tbirty-seyen Licenses Were
Issued During July

Careful perusal of the records in
the city clerks office would indicate
that there are comparatively few draft
slackers in New Britain for although
during the month just closed there
were thirty marriage licenses
issued in some cases the prospective
husband was over the draft age of
thirty-one years. In New York city,
reports from that place state, the
bureau Of vital statistics is being be-
seiged daily by hundreds of young
men who wish to take out marriage
licenses and by having a wife be-
come exempt from the draft. So many
are adopting this means of avoiding
military service that the attention of
Provost Marshal General Crowder
has been called to it.
City's Marriage Record.
New Britain's record of 81 MARI
iages for the month of July shows
some interesting figures. In ~ in
stances the prospective husband was
a native born American. In eight
cases he was native Of Italy, seven
came from Russia, four from Austria
and three from Germany. Sweden
and England each produced one.
There is no record showing whether
or not any of the foreign sborn men
have been naturalizedS Of the 81 men
who took out marriage licenses, only
IL were over the draft age, the re-
mainder being all between the ages
of Fl and 3 years The oldest couple
to which a marriage license was is
sued last month were the last to ap-
pear. The were William Ordner and
Mary Potrash, both of III Columbia
street. The groom, who is making
his third trip to the altar, is 70 wears
old, while his bride, who has been
married before, admits being a little
his junior.
