A REFORM T
THAT REFORMS.
When Mark A. SwliU and Henry F.
Ashurst were elected to the United
Uiro tho time required was twenty
two minutes. Tho legislature had
been directed in this action by a sen
atorial primary In which our present
benators wore victorious.
A.t Ijucoln. Nebraska, iast week, a
legislature which is decisively in con
trol of tlie democrats on joint ballot
concluded the e'ectiou of George ,V.

On the sanif day, Mr. Norris, at

On the same day ar Salem, Ore., an

How this will work out 's problemat

The Review gives the above for the
purpose of pointing out the dry humor
of Senator Mark Smith, who, when
lie loft Arizona for Washington wa
tompelltd to purchase an extra trunk
into which he packed several thou
sand lottery and notifications of appli
cation for positions at the political
pie counter. Besides the applications
there were other thouands of letters
of endorsements.
No sus It. Arizona believes that
there will be any scarcity of appli
cants for federal offices. In fact they
arc a numerous almost as grass
hoppers during a plague year in the
state ot Kansas. And no one knows
this better than our senator. It Is ail
right to "string" Senator O'Gorman
with a line of talk about our people
being busy with building roads ant
school houses, but the number neck
ing offlcn amount to a stunning figure.
Congressman Carl Hayden has in
troduced in congress a bill providing

men yet living in Arizona and other
states who were engaged ia fighting

timely effort to recompense by this
government many pioneers of the

s-am easy matter
as the woni-
Pned for many years and the public
will hardly know how to inet the
new conditions. There have been fam
ilies in .the luxuries of life, such as
bread and coal, but never in suco
a necessity of the ioor as champagne.
There is some question as to how
tho new battleships will be christened
and the champagne famine may provo'
a great setback in this respect. The!
United States can hardly afford to
drop from second or third 'place to
seventh or eighth on account ot a
scarcity of champagne. ?nd it seems
aa though the administration would
bestir itself to find a reined.
When one stops, to consider the un
told suffering that the shortage on
champagne will cause in the poverty
stricken districts along the Great
White Way and of the misery that
will prevail among tho Pittsburg mil
lionaires and the chorus girls the true
meaning of tho situation becomes ap
parent But let evorone remain as1
calm as posttiblo and it may turn out
that the reports concerning the grains
