THE MYSTERY
iOF THAJ $1600.
If Consul General Michael, former
ly chief clerk of the Department of
State, and lorri6on. the disbursing
officer of that department, wish to
eavo themselves from dismissal for
participation in a piece of graft
amounting to J1CQ0 let thorn tell all
they know about the transaction.
We have no knowledge- that they
pot a, cent of the ..money; we as
fume notWrip of the sort; -we ar
quite willing to ropcede that they
did what some superior told them
to do. But they have got to tell
all they know or suffer the penal
ty. That might as well be mado
clear to them, mainly for the whole
some effect upon other clerks ia
the public ervice.
Mr. Rosenthal, the artist., painted
n portrait of Justice Day,, who had
been Secretary of State, for a com
pensation of JS50, including the gilt
frame, which cost 160. The vouch'
cr, however, was made out for $i.
450. Michael says this was dons
fcy order of Secretary Hay. Mr.
Hay is dead; no one would suspect
him of a dishonorable act, and aa
Le was " a man of large, fortune,
the stun of $1CG0 is too small. for
him to have compromised himself
With even if ha had been that sort
of a man, whieh no one haft ever
insinuated. ,
If Michael is correct, and Mr.
Hoy directed the item of $1600 for
feme legitimate public purpose to
be smuggled into this voucher, th
people in the depastment must have
tome knowledge of it. It is conceiv
able that the money was spent for
wrnie secret service purpose, not to
be disclosed' to the public; but tho
officials must have had some knowl
edge. However, when Mr. Rosen
thal went to the department, of state
to see about the order for painting
the jjortralt of . ex-Seqretary Root he
was told by Dr..- Denbyj. who sue
cHafe "Mr. Michael,' that he couid
iioj (have the order because ho
cbargliB1 too much, and in proof
thereof, the voucher for $2450 was
- prdduced. Denby had no idea that
Rosenthal got only JS50. This cre
ates a presumption of -graft that
can be overthrown only by more
explicit information from Michael
and Morrison.
A still more sinister asre-ct Is

DOUGLAS SOCIETY
In view of the fact that Mr. Krln
blll goes soon on his annual .sum
mer vacation, a pleasant little sur
prise was concocted and carried out
on him last Tuesday evening. Miss
rLois Fisher was the prime mover in
the affair and she was ably assisted
by Miss Elsie Warr and Cora Ross.
While the guests were largely from
among Mr. Krinbill's pupils and the
Llebling club, the affair could In no
way be called either a piano club or
a pupil party as it was intended to
only Include a few particular friends
of tho hostesses. Upon arriving at
tho Fisher home, Mr. Krinbill was
genuinely surprised to find such a
crowd of joung folk waiting for him.
e having been called there for os
tensibly something else. The time
was pleasantly spent in various
wholesome pastimes not the least
pleasurable feature being the deli
cious sherbet and cakes with which
Sirs. Fisher regaled the company.
The guests were Misses Margaret
Isaacs, Marguerltte Poiser, Vera Bee
be, Merle Magce, Doris Conley, Cora
Ross, Ruth Tucker, Elsie Warr, Viota
Maclay. Feme Johnson, Marjory Nor
ton, Mary Nelson, Lois Fisher;
Messrs. Clyde Timberlake. Caleb
Rice, Porter Dunlap, James Fisher,
Howard Wylle.
Miss Vera Beebe, who is soon to
leave with her parents to reside in
California, is tOyhe given an unique
farewell party by a large number of
her friends among the younger set
next Monday evening. Miss Vera is
one of the most attractive and talent
ed as well as popular girls in her
Douglas set, which contains many
charming young ladles, and this af
fair will in a measure show the
esteem in which she is held by her
friends. i
Thursday evening Mrs. W. E. Jones
and Miss Margaret Isaaes entertained
at the home of Miss Isaacs on
Twelfth street in honor of Mr. and
Mrs. Beebe, Mr. and Mrs. Comes and
Mrs. Ormond, who will leave Douglas
in the very near future to make
their homes elsewhere. These peo
ple have made a great many friends
during their residence in the Cop
per City, who deeply regret their
departure. Mr. and Mrs. Beebe will
make their home In California, Mrs.
Orraond will go to Blsbee and Mr
and Mrs. Comes will eave shortly
for the east The evening was spent
in various games and contests which
proved very entertaining. In one of
the contests the guests were each
given a small pamphlet and then
j told to shake bands with everyone
in the room, writing down their
name immediately. In a given time
a halt was called and the names
counted, Mrs. Wright receiving the
ladles prize and Mr. Beebe the gen
tlemen's prize. Then there was a
driving contest for the ladles and
a sewing contest for the gentlemen,
the prizes for phich were won by
Mrs. Iverson and Rev. WrighL A
prize was offered for written
charades, and was won by Mrs.
Mayo. The rest of the evening was
spent in illustrating songs and
Mother Goose rhymes pn a black
board. This caused a great deal of
amusement. Delicious refreshments
of cakes and sherbet were served by
the hostesses. Those present were
Mesdames Beebe, Comes. Hndrson,
Thompson, Iverson, Wright, Ross
Howe, Mayo, Philbrook, Hrrrisonr of
Comes, Henderson, Thompson, Krin

I A colored man is already saving
money with which to attend an ex

He said: "It's this way with the
colored folks; when we go any
where, we must begin to save money
a long time ahead." If he thinks It
isn't the same way with us white
folks, he Is mistaken.

' Llebling Piano Club Program.
The the Llebling Piano club occu
pies a place of high esteem In the
estimation of the local public was
again demonstrated last night when
between three and four hundred peo
ple. In spite of the rain, gathered at
the Y. M. C. A. auditorium to listen
to the annual closing program for
this season. This piano club and its
director, Mr. Krinbill, have come to
be such a prominent part of our
pnblic life that we wonder some
times if we do not fall to realize
the splendid worth of the combin
ation. The program last night was
not such an one as would appeal to
a vaudeville taste, but interested the
audience, who came knowing what
to expect, and they wero not disap
pointed, for it was a splendid exhi
bition of work along lines of musical
culture Each number was well
given and lf mention were made of
any, it should be made of all, how
ever, from winsome little Winifred
Paul, who captivated all the folk
to the older and more advanced
members, the selections and their
rendition being a credit both to
, themselves and their director-instructor.
The flute playing of Judge
jsames, one of the honorary mem
bers, was at once both a delight and
a revelation to many who have not
known of his ability along that line
The remarks of both the judge and
Dr Wright. th two honorary men.
bera present, were timely and ver
complimentary to the work of the
organization. Beforo the program
closed Mr. Krinbill announced that
the next year's work of the club

Dellivcr and the Dahlias.
The dahlia Is a Bower tbat is almost
acred to Scandinavians. When th
late Senator DolIIver was speaking fo
a Swedish settlement from the rear
end of a Pullman cara bunch of dahlias
was banded to him, and he bowed his
thanks, while the crowd roared its ap
plause for the orator and for the bou
quet. "What kind of flowers are these?"
inquired Senator DolIIver of Senator
Clapp of Minnesota.
"American Beauties. I gufess." replied
Senator Clapp.
DolIIver knew better than that, so
he heartily thanked the people for
their attention, applause and splendid
flowers.
When they met in Washington after
the campaign Senator DolIIver said to
the Minnesota man: "Clapp, you would
have had me mobbed lf I hadn't been
prudent If I bad called those dahlias
American Beauties those Swedes
would have been for killing me."

good people and generally do the right
thing." Minneapolis JouraaL
Why He Wept.
A man who wis walking through a
train Inadvertently left the door of one
of the cars open. A big man sitting in
a seat in the middle of the car yelled.
"Shut the door, you fooll Were you
raised in a barn?"
The man who bad left the door open
closed it and then, dropping Into a
seat, burled his face In his hands and
began to weep. The big man looked
somewhat uncomfortable and, rising,
finally walked up to the weeper and
tapped him on the shoulder.
"My friend." be said. "I didn't Intend
to hurt your feelings. I Just wanted
yon to close the door."
The man who was weeping raised
his head and grinned. "Old man." be
caJd. "I'm not crying because you hurt
my feelings, but because you asked me
lf I was raised in a barn. The sad
fact is that I was raised in a barn, and

I am not arguing against the com
bative spirit. We should all more or
lezs be fighting men. If we are not. I
am afraid, we don't amount to rovon.
But we ought to be sufficiently ad
vanced In this age and country to
fight for principles and Ideas and not
wage war on men who have every
right, human and divine, to have their
own opinions and to express then
freely. Let us not at the same time
forget that tolerance of view that
"decent respect to the opinions" of
others which the declaration men
tions, is the essential of a truly desic
cratic society
We are all apt In judging of the
past to ascribe to the actors In any
drama of history a knowltdge of what
afterwards happened. This, of course,
is wrong, and we should in order to
get a real understanding of the qual
ity of the men, "get it out ot our
beads that the signers had any sure
ilsion of what should happen to them
as a consequence. The truth Is, these
men took chances, desperate chances
and fullv realize that they were do

When you think of It, what a poor fig

are to remain precious heritages to
us and our children we must respect
the rights of the minority. We -should

their mature and well considered con
victions. If political cant be the "open
sesame" to office, and rank dema
goguery be rewarded, then we shall
prove ourselves unfit for the respon
sibilities of self government That
community or commonwealth where
law as represented by the will of the
majority Is obeyed, and where at tho
same time the rights of the minority
are rigidly respected, where courage
is honored andmoral cowardice is de
spised, is and must be a good place
to live In whether its constitution be
radical or conservative or betwixt
and between, whether it be socialistic
or individualistic, or a hybrid without
any of the virtues of either, but wlttt
the vices of both its parents. For af
ter all, the character and disposition
of a people are more important than
its form of government. Whether we
shall stand this test of fitness for
self government remains to be seen.

Is sincerely interested in good gov

Optimistic of Future.
Optimism is the characteristic
American trait and this hopeful cheer
ful way of viewing things finds full
and ample justification in almost ev
ery page of our history. We are living
in a marvelous age and in a most fav
ored land. Whatever may be our de
fects, and we have many, we are not
jet a decadent people. The evils In
contemporary political or industrial
life, and the shortcomings of our cit
izenship, ought not to cause us to de
spair of the ultimate triumph or right
and justice throughout the republic.
Any one who will look below the sur
face will gee 'forces at work which
make for better things here in Ari
zona as elsewhere. Each year more
and better homes are established.
more and better school houses are
built, more libraries and churches
erected Each year we are discarding
as outgrown the crudities of frontier
life, the passing of which, picturesque
and full of human In'erest as It was
In some of Its aspects, we need not
regret.
I congratulate the citizens of Bls
bee on the apparent fact that your"
city Is keeping abreast of the proces
sion In this march of progress. I con
gratulate you on your Improved finan
cial outlook, but particularly on the
successful effort here being made to
work out a satisfactory solution of
the problem of insurance against loss
by accident anfl disease on the part of
me men employed In your mines.
I also congratulate my friend Green
way on his introduction into Arizona
of mine closing on Sunday All these
things point to progress. But It must
be remembered that after all real
progress Is made by a people In the
exact measure that they practice the
homely virtues of thrift. Industry and
sobriety That if free government as '
established by the founders of the
republic Is to endure a blessing and
not a curse it must be based upon tho
intelligence and morality of oar citi
zenship, and that the man who in his
community strives to raise th -nrf
ard of righteous livine, which is al
ways followed by right thinking. Is
the truest patriot.
it is your good fortune tn h
many such citizens In your midst and

than that such men and none others
may, here in Blsbee nnrt i,,.,
throughout our new commonwealth.

great pleasure I feel in having this
opportunity of again visiting 'Blsbee
and of again enjoying the generous
hospitality of your citizens.
