THE OUTLOOK IMPROVING.

It must be apparent to every reader of the territorial papers that the tide of prosperity so noticeable in the east in the last fortnight is moving west ward We hear of a number of Ari- zona enterprises that have entered up- on new lease of life since November 3. Business men in every branch of trade say there has been much inn provement since the election. In a week or ten days the railroads will begin to handle vast quantities of goods ordered from various points in the east and middle west for consumption in Arizona The volume of local adver- Using is increasing, as witness the columns of The Republican. There is feeling of hopefulness in business circles which is having a most salu- tary effect.
 One who keeps track of conditions in the great trade and industrial cen ters has no difficulty in finding reason for encouragement. There is a gen eral movement to replenish stocks Merchants got along for months with as few new goods as possible. Thou sands of them could not have carried on another month without going into the market. They are now buy ing up to the full extent of their needs Figure on the requirements of 7O,OOO,- 900 people and one can form an idea of the vast sums that are beginning tc flow through trade channels. The
 railroads of the country require mil
 lions of pounds of steel for necessary repairs to their roadbeds which have been postponed pending the result ot the election. The natural reaction
 from a long and fiercely contested
 campaign is beneficial to general busi ness.
 In the present case the investing
 world has received fresh evidence tha

OBSERVATIONS.

About the best plan to stop the sale of liquor is to give it away.
 Never sit in draught. If you do a doctor will be the one to cash it.
 Never allow yourself to get the big head-it will cost you too much for hats.
 The man who never forgets anything never forgets to boast of it to every one he meets
 The man who is willing to do as he would be done by, always wants to be done by first.
 The reason most people give advice so freely is because they are anxious to get rid of it.
 Half of the people in the world are working the other half for chumps and making it pay.
 If some men were half as big as they think they are, the world would have to be enlarged.
 Egotism makes a man believe the world thinks as much of him as he thinks of himself.
 What some people know would fill book-and what they don't know would fill library.

 It is funny to see the Republican mayor and the Democratic comptroller of New York quarreling over the,ques- ton as to which of them is entitled to the credit for the success of the latest municipal bond sale there. T person. ally wrote to several of the largest banking firms asking them to bid for these bonds, and received their assur- ance that they would do so,'' says the mayor. That's right says the comp trolIer, q, asked the mayor to do so.' The fact is that the success of the loan was due to neither of these officials, but to the good credit of the city of New York and to the renewed conf dence in public credit everywhere.

NONE BUT AYERS AT THE
 WORLDS FAIR.

Ayers Sarsaparilia enjoys the ex- traordinary distinction of having been the only blood purifier allowed an ex- hibit at the Worlds Fair. Chicago. Manufacturers of other sarsaparillas sought by every means to obtain a showing of their goods, but they were all turned away under the application of the rule forbidding the entry of patent medicines and nostrums. The decision of the Worlds Fair authori- ties in favor of Ayers Sarsaparilla was in effect as follows: Ayers Sarsapa- rilla is not patent medicine. It does not belong to the list of nostrums. II is here on it's merits"

MEN AND THINGS.

The Milwaukee Journal makes a vigorous plea for the adoption of laws that will save the deer in that state ening them. It says that to be of any use the close season in Wis consin, Michigan and Minnesota must coincide, as the animals wander back and forth acress the dividing lines constantly. The Journal favors the absolute prohi- bition of deer hunting for several years, as the most effective means of restock- ing the northern forests, and, failing this, it advocates November as the 'open" month, and the eXaction of large license fee from all would-be hunters from other states.
 A queerer provision was probably never put in will than one by which Charles G. Hopkins of Kansas City tried to guard his property from claim ants who might try to get it away from his chosen legatees, Harriet Eliz- abeth Calvert, his housekeeper, and Thomas M. Barr, a lifelong friend. The will solerlnly asseyerates that the testator is bachelor and childless, but says that, having noticed with what ease sworn testimony can be pro cured to support the alleged rights of widows and children invented . cases like this, he bequeaths the sum of $1 to each of any such heirs as may ap- pear after his death and establish their claims to the courts satisfaction. Singularly enough no claimants turned up to oppose the probate of the will, and there is not the slightest reason to suspect that MT. Hopkins apprehen- sions had any basis except that of wholly impersonal observation.
 J. L. Dearborn of Wentworth, N. H. who is ninety-three years old, tells with equal pride that he voted for An drew Jackson in 1929 and for McKin- | ley in 1896. He says that in time he may get ''sot in his ways" and cast 8 1 ballot for the reason that it is ''regu- lar,' but for awhile longer he proposes to use his private judgment and vote as sense and interest dictate.
 Something of a stir has been created among the dentists of Georgia because the state dental association is advocat
 ing the passage of a law under whicf
 an examining board, composed of tivt
 of it's members, will have the power tt
 grant licenses to such dentists as i
 considers competent and respectable
 and to withhold them from all othe
 applicants. MT. A. o. Best, a practi
 tioner at Augusta, has raised grea
 cry over this as an attempt to ''enslav
 the profession" and has scattere,
 broadcast a circular advising tn knights of the forceps and gas tanl to defend their rights. Laws like tha to which he objects already exist il most states and have worked eXtremel , well.

The reports of Comptroller Eekels descents on National banks come along frequently. It is better that the unfor- tunate condition of these institutions should be made known to the public In that way than that it should be al lowed to become so aggravated by sub sequent mishaps as to occasion dis satisfaction because the government has not been prompt to do it's duty in the case. -.-

Efforts to amend the state cOnsti- tutions appear to have fared badly wherever they were made in the late election. The most conspicuous fail ure of all was in California, where a proposed amendment extending the suffrage to women received only 13,0OO votes, while the number of votes re- corded against it was 33,0O0, according to the published returns from there. The women may reasonably claim that this was not a fair test of the merits of their cause, inasmUch as the amend ment not only provided thatcitizens Of the state, male or female, 21 years of age, should have the right to vote for all candidates, but it also excluded from the franchise all persons who cannot read the constitution of the United States in the English language and such as cannot write their own names.

The common council has displayed good business sense in authorizing the installation of a fire alarm system Many cities smaller than Phoenix have long enjoyed the security which such a system affords. When the boxes are in their places the people will wonder why they were so slow in getting them. One result ought to he the lessening of insurance rates.

Ex-Congressman Belden of New York paid more for his election ex- penses than his salary for two years in congress will amount to. Being a millionaire, MT. Belden can stand this sort of thing. It would be interesting to the public to know just how this big sum was distributed. The term "legit- innate election expenses will hardly cover MT. Belden's case.

The tributes to Mark Hanna's genius continue to pour in, and there is an apparent disposition in some enthusi- astic quarters to attach wings to him. It is due to Hanna to say that he takes a good deal of taffy with becoming modesty and without much swelling about the head.

At the rate it is climbing, wheat will soon be worth a dollar. The present dollar, according to Bryan and Teller, being a 200-cent dollar, farmers with wheat to sell will then be able to pocket two dollars in value for every bushel they put on the market. Not much calamity about that.

Of interest to ladies-The scalp may be kept white and clean, and the hair soft, pliant and glossy, by the use of Ayers Hair Vigor. This preparation never fails to restore to faded and gray hair it's original color. Sold by drug gists and perfumers.

The demand for Ayers Hair Vigor in such widely separated regions as South America, Spain, Australia and India has kept pace with the home con- sumption, which goes to show that ! these people know a good thing when | they try it. "Only' trife," you say; perhaps so, but it is best not to trifle with it. That cough, if neglected, may result in some thing serious, such as bronchitis, pneu- monia, or even consumption. Sore throat, colds, coughs, hoarseness, diff culty of breathing, and similar disor- ders, though so common as to excite nc alarm, should be treated without delay The continued irritation of the bron- chial tubes may result in dangerous 1 inflammation The best remedy to take is Ayers Cherry Pectoral. It is agreeable to the taste, only small doses are needed, and it is always ready fol use. Actors, singers, preachers, teach CTS, auctioneers, and all whose voca organs are severely taxed, declare they prefer this preparation to any other It affords speedy relief, soothes and heals the irritated mucous membrane and gives tone, strength and f1exibility to the voice. No other medicine is SC prompt to act and so sure to cure as | Ayers Cherry Pectoral. To it were awarded medal and diploma at tht Worlds Fair.

You may eat cheap food and not be seriously hurt by it; but you cannot take cheap medicines without positive injury. If you use any substitute for Ayers Sarsaparilla, you do so at the peril of your health, perhaps of your life. Insist on having Ayers, and no other.
