STATEMENT OF FACTS.
As certain statements have recently
been circulated in relation to tbe
acta of the present board of trnstees of
this school district, the Journal-Miner
has made somo effort to become fa
miliar witb conditions aa they exist
and gives the public the result
Our public schools have never
reached a higher standard of efficiency
than undor the management of tbe
present board. Thoy have made every
effort to give tbe patrons tbe beat ser
vice possible,not only in tbe selection
of teachers, but in business manage
ment aa well. In so doing they have
incurred tho ill-wilt of a very few
persons. Some whose friends or rela
tives have not secured places upon the
teaching force, others who have placed
personal greed or gain above tbe wel
fare of the district. In the construc
tion of tbe new scbool building which
has met tbe hearty approval of the
public in general, criticism has been
made, because the board has not per
mitted any advantage to be taken of
the interest of the public.
A report has been circulated tbat
the board bas refused to exhibit the
account of tbe expenditures made upon
the new building. From what tbe
Journal-Miner can leain all of the
vouchers for tbe payment of money
by the board, must go to the county
supexintendent of schools, Professor
Jolly. It is he who issues the war
rants for the payment of tbe money,
and he cannot do so without these
vouchers authorizing bim so to do,
and the board does not handle a cent
of the school money. These'vouchers
are on file in Prof. Jolly's office, and
open to the inspection of any one who
may take tbe trouble to examine
them. The board of trustees has also
a careful and detailed record of all
vouchers issued, which Is kept in tbe
office of Superintendent Billingburst
at bis office in the new building,
which are also open to inspection.
Another report bas been circulated
that the present board is uncompro
misingly opposed to tbe erection of a
primary department in West Prescott.
Tbe action of the board in following
the instructions of the patrons of tbe
district, pbould be a refutation of
such a statement We have it however
lrom the board, that it is not opposed
to taking such action as may be de
sired by tbe people of tbe district,
and individually favor the establish
ment of such schools and buildings
as they may be instructed to build.
In a community the size of Pres
cott, It is impossible to please all of
the people, and some criticism has
been made in tbe erection of tbe new
building. It is urged that the board
should have const! reltd two build
inga, one in West Pritcolt tbe other
upon the present site. The board
could not have done this under the
expressed wish and directions of the
voters. To have done this would not
only have been unwarranted but un
lawful, as well.
A full investigation into all of these
matters can be easily made, and we
believe tbat no criticism can be made
when tbe facts are known.
The Journal-Miner bas taken th
trouble to do this, for tbe pnrpose of
allowing those who may so desire to
verify the truth of the statements
made. We are interested in tbe
schools and desire that they are kept
at their present high standard, and
believe tbat the interests of the pat
rons w.iil be hotter served by tbe pres
ent board. A, change at this time will
be at least experimental, and no mat
ter tbe capabilities of a successor to
Judge Andrews, tbe person would be
handicapped by the lack of a full
knowledge of the policy and plans of
the board, which we believe will be
of untold value to every parent and
pupil of the district
Any citizen, man or woman, who has
paid a county or territorial school tax
dnring the past year, or the parent or
guardian of a child of school age, can
vote at the coming election.
Cardinal Gibbons, of Baltimore, is
credited witb having sent a letter to
tbe Irish Emigration Society, of Lon
don, England, urging it to discourage
as far as possible the desertion of tbe
natives of the Emerald Isle to this
country. In bis letter His Eminence
said: I know under what circum
stances people lie in America. My
advice to tbe young men and young
women of Ireland is to endeavor to
And a livelihood in their own land
Ireland. is blessed witb a delightful
climate, where tbe extremes of heat and
cold are unknown, whereas in this
country they are a very serious draw
"back. A man or woman who could
eke out a livelihood at home should
ft ay there instead of emigrating to
America to enter into the keen strug
gle for existence under the trying
conditions in progress here."
L. D. Gardner, an importer of ra
ilium, gives out tbe startling news tbat
tbo price of radium bas increased
S4.000.000 a pound in two days. The
commercial rate last week was 88,400,
000; now it is 312,400,000. Mr., Card
ner believes the rate will be higher.
'By April 1 it will be almost impos
sible to buy radium at any price.
Bohemia bas forbidden tbe exporta
tion of pitchblende, because tbe gov
eminent discovered tbat this indus
try was interfering witb the Bohem
ian glass industry. This edict pro
hibits tbe radium manufacturers in
Paris and Hamburg from obtaining
tbe uranium ore, and thus, uutil now
discoveries are made, there will be no
more radium made."
The application of Griffith J
Griffith before the supreme court of
California to be admitted to bail,
pending the appeal of his case to tbe
supremo court was denied, uoi
Griffith must begin to realize by this
time tbat his self conceited greatness
is all a myth, ind tbat great men can
not shoot their wives with impunity.
The joint. statehood bill, as prepared
n Washington, would give the new
state formed from tbe territories of
Arizona and Now Mexico 24,000,000
acres of land. Indian territory will
get 5,000,000 acres.
It is estimated that there are yet

OPPOSES NEGRO EDUCATION.
Governor Vardeman of Mississippi
has vetoed a bill entitled "An act for
support of the state normal school at
Holly Springs." The school in ques
tion is a- training school for negro
teachers, and has been supported by
tbe state several years. The present
legislature made tbe usual appropria
tion of 810,000, but Gov. Vardeman
returned it with a two colnmn mes
sage, in which he savs he would sign
it if he "thought tbe character of ed
ucation could product beneficial re
sults, but it does not Literary ed
ucation, the knowledge of booKS, does
not seem to produce any good, sub
stantial results with tbe negro, but
serves rather to sharpen his cunning,
breed hopes that can not be fulfilled,
inspires aspirations that can not be
gratified, creates an inclination to
avoid honest " labor, promotes indo
lence and, in turn, leads to crime.
"I wish it understood tbat my ob
jection to this bill does not grow out
of a spirit of race hatred. On the
contrary, I wish the race well, j
should liko to see it developed along
moral and industrial lines until it
shall become a positive factor for good
rather than a menace to our oiviliza
tion, a blessing rather than a curse.
The only hope for the consummation
of tbat wish is to suppress tbe ignor
ant time servers of the north and
south and give the negro that which
tbe negro needs." Tbe message is said
to have created a profound sensation
in tbe legislature.
Admiral Evans has been compli

the remarkable cruise of his Asiatic
fleet of war ships recently, in which
tbey covered a distance of 8,500 miles
without a single accident or delay of
any kind. The cruise was from Yoko
hama to Honolulu, thence to the Phil
ippines, touching en route at Guam.
Tbe cruise was made during mid

Cavite they were found to be in good
condition, without need of repair.

Death ofF. M. Clute.
P. M. Clute, district deputy of
the Red Men, died suddenly at Gold
Road last Tuesday morning. He had
been complaining for some days of
feelingjnnwell, but was able to attend
to his duties. It is presumed that
death was caused by a paralytic stroke.
The body was embalmed and shipped
to Los Angeles. Deceased was a bright,
energetic man and bis death ia deeply
deplored by bis friends in tbe order
of Red Men. Mohave Miner.
Tbe above itemjjwill be read with a
feeling of sorrow by a large number
of people in this county and also in
other parts of the territory, as Mr.
Clute has been working faithfully in
building up the Improved O. R. M. in
Arizona for several months.
He was appointed Deputy Great
Incabonee of the order for New Mex
ico and Arizona some two years ago
and has been very active since his ap
pointment.
Less than one year ago he came to
Arizona and at that time there were
tour tribes of Reld Men in the terri
tory with a 'membership of less than
500. At the time of his death he had
organized somejitwelve or fifteen new
tribes giving a total membership of
close to 2000. These new members
were from tho best citizens of tbe ter
ritory.
A few months ago be
organized
and- only
Mangus tribe in Jerome
four weeks ago organized
a tribe at.
McCabe with 78 members.
He also visited the tribe in Prescott
and was instrumental in interesting
tbe members, to petition the great
council of tbe United States for a
great council for Arizona, a thing he
had been working hard to accomplish
for months.
He was a past great sachem of the
order and one of the most enthus
iastic and consistent members 9t tbe
great order, and stood very high in
tbe esteem of bis brother Ked Men.
Bradshaw Mountains.
Forest Supervisor F. R. Stewart
returned last night -.from an official
visit to Crowned King, on forest re

driving out there once or twice a
month, or just as often as there has
been necessity for doing so. The trip
occupies a day each way, and is a tire
some one and in winter quite disa
greeaole. He says tbat hereafter when
called to that section he expects to be
able to make the trip on the train.
Graders, be says, are now at work,
igbt at the Crowned King camp, and
track laying has been resumed at the
summit. He says tbat the track will
be completed ready for trains by
about,tho lOtb of April.
Mr. Stewart reports increased activ
ity in mining generally in the Brad
sbaw mountains on account of the
building of this railroad, Jiud when
completed, he looks for still greater
activity. The best part ot tbe activity
is tbat tbe properties which are being
worked are all turning out very satis
factory to tbe people working them.

Material and Equipment Have Been
Ordered Work to Be Pushed
To Completion.
Within two months Prescott will
have an electric street car line in
operation.
j.ni3 announcement may. .come as a
surprise to many pessimists who have
been saying that the talk of building
a street car system in Prescott is all
bluff.
It may even be received witb in
credulity on the part of this class of
people.
The time ia not long however, when
tbe truth or error of tbe statement
will be verified.
A start has already been made in
building. It is true that the amount
of rails laid is not large, but it is a
start just the same.
The location seleoted for making
this small beginning was in West
Prescott. Tomorrow morning a force
of men will be seen at the point ot
this beginning, at work on the exten
sion of the line, and this time it will
be continued until the rails are laid
to Whipple.
The material for tbe construction of
the road has all been ordered, and tbe
equipment bas all been purchased
and will reach here by the time tbe
track is completed.
The cars are of tbe very latest de
signs witb wide windows which can bo
thrown open in the summer season
and closed in tbe winter.
The road will be built in compliance
witb the provisions of the charter.
