hills and low mountain ranges In
this territory in which the mineral

explored in any detail by the pros
pector with his burros, for lack of
water many promising districts can
be visited only for the briefest per
iods after a rainy season, because
the prospector can have no water sup

the state of Arizona could make

Uncle Joe Not a Quitter.
ine temporary collapse of "Uncle
Joe" in Kansas on Saturday was, of
course, due solely to the hot weather
and his indigestion, as he said. It is
not believable that his presence in
the insurgent country caused him to
lose his "goat" (if our readers will
pardon the use of expressive slang
for the words poise, nerve, and self
confidence). No mere insurgent can
get the "goat" of "Uncle Joe." A
man of poor nerve fiber, as Jeffries,
may lose his "goat" in emergencies,
but not a man of the stern stuff of
which "Uncle Joe" is made. The
country's "Uncle Joe" is both a thor
oughbred and a savage: and the
harder and the fiercer the battle
rages around him, and the greater
the odds against him, the better he
fights. Probably there is not another
man of 74 years in the United States
who would be able to make such a
campaign as Speaker Cannon is mak
ing. This is not saying that he may
not collapse again, and be forced to
retire to Danville; indeed, there is
bound to be a limit to his physical
strength, and he is no doubt most
unwise to engage in a strenuous
speaking campaign in midsummer un
der conditions which few young men
would relish. But the frail, lean
body of "Uncle Joe" is controlled by
a dvnamo of powerful will, and If
he does break down it will be be
caupe too much of a physical load
has been placed upon the machinery
and. not because it is possible for the
insurgents to wreck his nerve.
"Uncle Joe" is a silurian of a gone
uolitical ace. in some respects. But
one does not need to agree with
him in order to admire his magnifi
cent courage, his honesty, his superb
self-confidence, and his fine fighting
spirit. If Jeffries were such a man
as Joseph G. Cannon, he would have
devoured Jack Johnson in the Reno
ring. "Uncle Joe is of the' breed of
the Old Guard that died In joyous
combat in the hollow square at Wat
erloo. It was certainly an amateur
press reporter that telegraphed the
"npws that the speaker's collapse
was caused by the necessity of fac
ti jfiKiirirents in their own
"lh " " '
country.
May the days of our finest old
barbarian be long in the land, and
may he have the pleasure of seeing
foes in front of him until St. Peter
opens to him the pearly gates!
The Worship of Technicality.
A brave captain of police of the
citv of Los Angeles was killed last
year by two desperate burglars, one
of whom was in turn killed by th
police. The other burglar was cap
tured. dulv tried and convicted and
sent to the state prison at San Quen
tin. Last week this burglar was tak
en before a judge of the superior
court at Sacramento, under a writ of
habeas corpus, and, was set at lib
erty. The ground on which the
learned judge set him at liberty was
that the indictment under which he
was convicted was "fatally defective.'
What was the "fatal defect" in the
indictment? Merely that he was
charged with murdering the police
pnntnin with .a "deadlv weanon." The
judge held that the indictment should
have stated what kind of a weapon
It was. The indictment was in reg
ular form in this particular, it having
been the custom of prosecuting attor
neys in California from time Imme
morial to make no further description
of a lethal weapon than that it was
a "deadly" weapon.
Great is the idol of technicality
Is it any wonder that there is s
clamor all over the country for more
common sense on the bench?
Encourage the Prospector.
The depression in the mining In
Colorado has caused so
much concern that there is a state
wMr sentiment In favor of "doing
onmothinir" Just what this "some
thing" should be Is, however, a mat
ter of discussion and dispute. There
iu ho n "hnosters' convention" at
l J - w
Denver, we understand, for the pur
pose of drawing the attention of in
vestors to Colorado's mines. Con
cerning this project the Denver Re
publican makes some sensible obser
vatlons:
nn nrnsnpptnr in the hills is
worth two delegates in a "boosters'
convention. To present the mining
possibilities of the state to the public
is always wise; but no one should
conclude that talk In Denver will re
sult in the discovery of a new mining
camp in the mountains.
"Colorado's mining interests have
suffered more from a lack of prospec
tors than from a lack of capital to de
velop" mining deposits already discov
ered. There is not much difficulty In
securing capital to open up a good
prospect, if the showing of mineral Is
convincing.
"Scolding eastern capitalists because
ihey do not invest In mines may af
ford satisfaction to the men who re
sort to the practice, but it will not
make eastern money flow into mining
investments which do not proniise div
idends. "Better let the eastern capitalist
alone for the present and see what can
be done to induce prospectors to ven
ture into the hills. Fill the mountains
with good prospectors, and they will
not bo long in discovering good ore
deposits."
One of the most useful citizens in
a mining state, like Colorado or Ari
zona, is the prospector. He should
have every encouragement that can
be given him. One practical method
of helping prospectors in Arizona
would be to develop a water supply
in the districts that have not been

statement came from an authority on
submarine warfare. The three sta
tions he referred to were at the
eastern end of Long Island, at Gar
diner's Bay, and a main station to
which the former were subsidiary in
the Chesapeake Bay. There, It Is
declared the chief station of the
submarine service on the Atlantic
coast should be located; the mouth
of the Patuxent river forming an
ideal spot. As submarine boats now
can cover on their. own power a ra
dius of 800 miles with effective fight
ing service the main station could
protect New York City and the whole
eastern coast, Washington and the
South Atlantic seaboard.
The run of the first submarine
division, consisting of the Cuttle
fish, the Viper and the Tarantula,
from Charleston, S. C, to Annapolis.
Md., when two of the flotilla made
without aid from their convoy, near
ly 500 miles each, marked fin epoch
in submarine possibilities. Cast off
from their convoys the Viper held her
own with a storm that kept her com
manding officer. Midshipman War
ren, sixty hours in succession without
relief on the bridge.
The first impressions of de
scending Into the hold of a subma
rine are the smallness of its ac
commodations for a crew of thirteen
and the astonishing amoupt of ap
paratus inside the boat. The sides
appear to be walled in with what look
like electrical appliances, the ends
are cut off with machinery in the
bovj and engines in the stern. Along
the sides, resting upon the bottom
of the hull, are torpedoes.
"Oh, It's not so bad on the submar
ine," said a member of the crew.
"It Is not expected of these boats to
do anything more than hover around
the shore and to prevent an enemy's
ships coming in. We could live a
long time under water by means of
our ten compressed air tanks. The
worst thing on the submarine is the
fumes from the gasoline when we
are running the boat on the surface.
When we are submerged we go en
tirely by electricity. I tried sleeping
In my hammock one night and I
breathed the fumes of gasoline all
night. The best air is near the
floor."
Another seaman, who. has served
two years on a submarine, was asked 1
the other day vhat were the sensa
tions of a descent.
"There are no sensations," he an
swered. "You hear the hatch close
over you, and that is all. Sometimes
you feel the boat incline when rising
or diving. I've been under water
three hours when we were at target
practice with the fleet last year.
That was the longest."
"What are the worst phases of life
on. a submarine?
"When the engines are running to
charge the batteries or we are 'run
ning on the surface the fumes from
the gasoline are very strong and un
pleasant. They will sometimes make
a man unconscious. He has then
to be taken on deck for fresh air
This sickness is followed by a split-
Ing headache, that nothing but sleep
will cure. They do not come so of
ten, and the crew, do not mind them.
A man generally feels this sickness
coming on, and then lie goes, out into
fresh air."
It is not expected that except in
cases of the most urgent necessity
the crew of a submarine shall sleep
on board. There is scarcely room
on board for the thirteen men to
move about and but one bunk, the
commander's is provided. That is in
the worst possible place. It gets the
full force of the gasoline fumes and
is shut off by heavy canvas.
A tender is a necessity, if fr no
other reason than to cook the food,
for the submarine's crew. The only
appliapce for that purpose on the
under water boat is an electric heater
on which coffee may be heated.
The work on board submarines has
developed a new ailment, gasoline
heart, for which defect several men
have been place on the retired list.
A member of tlfo. crew of one of
these divers described the symptoms
by saying that the gasoline has the
same effect as chloroform. At the
moment he was sitting on a barrel
of oil near his ship and was almost
prostrated by the strong odor.
The submarine has begun also to
develop a literature. Among the
sayings already coined is one that
runs:
T he submarine's work
done
Others work from sun to sun.
A sailor is reported as saying en
viously as lie saw the crew of a sub
marine putting oil aboard ship while
he remembered the hard work of
coaling the ordinary warship, that
"these fellows coal ship with a hose
line!"
Frank R. Stockton, in compliment
to the cleanliness of the American
naval ships, likened the service to an
old woman with a broom. On hear
ing this a member of the crew of a
submarine here said:
'The submarine may be represented
by a man with a piece of waste in
his hand." This is because so much
oil is used in the submarines that the
crews spend all their spare time
cleaning up.
.V marine took advantage of the
water warriors to give his service a
high place. A young lady was being
shown around the yard by him and
when they same to the fishlike boat
he explained to the visitor that this
was a submarine.
What is a submarine?" she asked
Why a submarine," lie replied, "is
a boat where they have to serve
seven years before they can become
a marine!
