The American-Japanese "agree
ment," as it is called here, or
"treaty" as they call it in Europe
is one of the most important of
the many important accomplish
ments of Secretary Root during
thetwoyears that he has been
chiefest in the councils of the ad
ministration. It is now known
that the British Government, in
the first instance, and then the
German Government and the
Russian and French Govern
ments were all consulted and
gave their hearty approval of
the agreement and indeed it is
difficult to see how they could do
otherwise, since the agreement
looks to peace., prosperity, com
merce, equal rights and the open
door to all nations in the Orient.
The European press is of the
opinion that the agreement means
an alliance for military and naval
operations when the American
and Japanese Governments agree
to communicate with each other
as to the advisable measures in
event of the disturbance of the
status QUO. The objects of the
agreement are so laudable that
the nations not only do not take
offense, but heartily approve

The great success of Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Dis
covery in curing week stomachs, wasted bodies, weak
lungs, and obstinate and lingering coughs, is based on
the recognition of the fundamental truth that "Golden
Medical Discovery" supplies Nature with body-building,
tissue-repairing, muscle-making materials, in con
densed and concentrated form. With this help Nature
supplies the necessary strength to the stomach to digest
food, build up the body and thereby throw off lingering
obstinate coughs. The "Discovery" re-establishes the
digestive and nutritive organs in sound health, purifies
and enriches the blood, and nourishes the nerves in
short establishes sound vigorous health.
If your dealer offers something Just as Hood,"
ft is probably better FOR KIM'it pays better.
But you are thinking of the euro not the profit, so
there's nothing "fust as good" for you. Say so.

News comes officially from
Colonel Geothals, the chief eng
gineer of the Panam Canal, that
the work will be complnted and
that ships will pass through the
canal in the year 1915, or within
six years from now, and this in
formation is given notwithstand
ing the fact that there are land
slides of large dimensions falling
back in to the canal along the
Culebra Cut. These land slides
were to be expected. They occur
in all excavations, and in new
cuts and in a region of torrential
rains, can not be avoided. In
tiise the steep sides of the Canstl,
where it is cut through the
the mountains, will be terraced
and overgrown with vegetation
and these slides will, in a great
measure at least, be obviated. It
is interesting to note that the
locks uow building are 110 feet
wide and a thousand feet Ion
inese dimensions are sucli as
will admit the largest "Dread
naught," or vessels even two or
three hundred feet longer and
twenty feet wider than the Lusi
tania. -

MARK SMITH'S STATEHOOD
BILL
The friends of Mark Smith in
sist that that gentleman is not
only the most competent man 'to
frame a statehood bill, but that
his love and deVotion to the ter
ritory are so great he would se
cure the most advantageous con
cessions to it. There are two
bills in congress to enable Ari
zona io oecome a state: one was
introduced by Senator Flint in
December, 1907, and the other
by Mark Smith in January, 1908.
We don't know why Mark should
have been so slow with his bill.
Senator Flint's bill provides for
an appropriation of 2,500,000
out of the United States treasury
for a school fund and 50,000 a
year for an agricultural college
for the new state. Smith's bill,
though he must have had the
senator's bill before him, omits
the provision lor any appropri
ation of money for that purpose.
Why?
Keep Your Boys off the Streets.
Some people think it a mys
tery that notwithstanding good
advice, their boys grow up to be
wild and reckless young men. If
these boys were taught from in
fancy that home was the proper
place for them after dark rather
than prowling around the streets
annoying sick and well people
alike, much of this .mystery
might be explained, and young
men with better moral character
and more intelligent minds would
be the result. No parent need
expect pure morals in a boy that
prowls the streets at night, even
if he does go to Sunday school.

An irate citizen says that here
after he wants the editors to
mind their own business. My
dear Christian friend, did you
ever reflect in your contempla-.
tive moments, when the moon is
beaming, when the whipporwill
sings in the black jack, when the
hired man snores in the loft, the
yellow dog has peeled of his
bark and the mosquito puts m
his bill did you ever reflect in
sucu times upon tue uica or a
paper containing only accounts
of the editor's own private busi
ness tuat it would be apt to
prove monotonous to the general
public? They might stand it for
a while, but in the end it would
be a thorn in the bide and a wea
riness to the flesh, and all that
sort of thing. No, brother, the
the true editor's business is to
make everybody's business his
business. That's business. So
there's no use in making a chron
ic kicker of yourself for anyone.
COnriERCIAL CLUB
PASSES RESOLUTIONS.
In endorsement of the move to
secure deep harbor at Yuma, the
Commercial Club called a special
meeting yesterday and passed
the following resolutions, first
extending a vote of thanks "to
the Arizona Gazette for its un
tiring efforts in this as well as
other matters that pertain to the
betterment of business conditions
in' Arizona."
RESOLUTION.
"Resolved, That the Yuma Hommer
cial Club fully appreciates the benerit.6
that would accrue to Yuma sind to all
of the 'soon to he' state of Arizona, by
having a port of entry at this place:
and within the boundaries of the new
state. We endorse this movement to
the fullest extent, and declare ourselves
ready to co-operate in ey-ry way possi
sible that the great waterway lo the
Gull' of California may become a real
ity. "We bplieve there is not anything
pamraount in importance to the. com
mercial interests of all Arizona than
the achievement of this great enter
prise. It would place Arizona in close
touch with the Panama canal, whicn
would enable the new .state nf Arizona
to transact all her business directly
with every port of commerce through
out the whole world."
Message Advocates Immediate Ad

There is no m,ore suggestive
or beautiful sight to our eyes
than that of an elderly married
couple who, trustingly and lov
ingly together, have walked the
rugged ways of life from youth
to old age, and now hand in hand
and heart to heart are patiently
and hopefully waiting upon the
hither shore of time for the
sound of the boatman's oar to be
borne across the river. We look
back along the dim vista of
years to the halcyon time of
life's sunny morning; we witness
their plighted vows at the altar
and see them go forth in the
pride of youth and the glory of
their young wedded lives to the
struggles of existence. Many a
Godspeed and kind word of
cheer fall upon their ears as they
go out from beneath the parental
rpof'-tree that is to shelter them
no more forever. Before them
lies a new world of experiences
of oys and sorrows, of grand
successes, and perhaps of sad
failures. But strong of purpose
and resolute of will, and with
V
life's sky rose-tinted1 with the
flush of dawn, they move on and
enter upon this, to them, unex
plored world of experiences. We
see tnem settled in their new
home. Perhaps it is a log cabin
in the wildnerness, with neigh
bors few and far off,, or maybe
in a cosy little cottage in some
distant town. The husband is
bravely bending every energy to
the task of mastering the hard
conditions of life, and a home
and a name in the world, and se
curing if possible that independ
ence which shall relieve them of
the possibility of want. To the
wife's rosy cheeky has come the
pallor of the agonies of mater
nity, but now her eyes are bright
with a new hope as she caresses
the tiny form that nestles in .her
bosom. And then comes added
care and heartaches as the years
glide away. We see them with
streaming eyes and pleading
lips bending over the couch of
their darling as its little life flut
ters away, and its eyes grow
dim under the touch of death's
icy fingers. But anon, time
pours its gentle balm into their
wounded hearts, and the bitter
trial and loss which they thought
they never could endure fades
away into a tender memory:
Again we bebold them, and as in
the long ago when they went
forth into the world, now their
own noble sons and daughters,
burdened with the unsolved prob
lems and untried responsibilities
of life, follow in their footsteps;
and soon their home is left unto
them desolate, save in the com
panionship of their own souls.
Well for them if they have with
in themselves treasures of cul
ture and character that shall
supply their dearest need. Well
for them if schooled in that
beautiful philosophy that ena
bled St. Paul to say: "I have
fought the eood fisrht. I have
finished my course, I have kept
the faith.'' They too can feel in
their souls that they have done
the best they knew, and that now
they will trust the gopd Father
for all that is to come.

Every newspaper wants to
publish the news. Lccal news
items are especially hard to run
down. How many times have
you, dear reader, been approach
ed by a reporter for an item of
news and told him that you knew
nothing of interest? Probably
at the time your family were
away on a visit or someone from
out of town was visiting at you
home. Of course, you didn
nuai to deceive the scribe, yet
when you received your paper
you jvondered why your family
or friends wer.e not mentioned
A good way to avoid all this is
to kindly inform us of the facts
or drop a note in the postoffice
to the paper. The one item may
not amount to much, but several
