HAD the proposition to disincor- porate the town of Nogales pre- vailed three years ago, it would have been step backward which would forever have shut the town out from securing Santa Cruz county. Yet some of those who were loudest in the cry for disin- corporation now claim front seat in the synagogue.

DEMOCRATS are now debating as to which is the better politics, eating sIo dinner or a SI dinner. Time was in democratic circles when a man who could eat ST dinner was considered a plutocrat. Gingerbread and whisky were dem ocratic fodder in those days.

The Benson Baseball Clean Up.

tht faSfbitll clean
 All who read in the Citizen the &C., count of the ball game between the Tucson and Benson teams, no doubt will be much amused at the absurdity of its charges, and the alleged wrongs inflicted upon Tucson's pets.
 A canard, pure and simple. the whole of it.
 Does the Citizen seek the public's sympathy for their sadly abused heroes?
 In the first place, Tucson was amazed at the impudence of Beuson's challenge.
 They came down with the expecta- tion and determination of wiping up the earth with the Benson team. They were sadly disappointed, Jor in- stead of winning with ease as they had boasted they would do they were easily, humiliatingly and over- whelmingly defeated as the score 30 to II will show
 Their charge that Kelly was badly hurt and received no attention, is ut terly false, as he was taken in a buggy to private house and received the very best and kindest attention of the master and mistress of that home.
 There were were as many Of Ben sons players hit as there were of Tue sons. The Tucson boys were so mad and chagrined when they saw that they were being so easlily beaten, that they did not know enough to get out of tLe way of the ball
 The pitchers OK was moved up six feet nearer th9 home plate, says the Citizen
 Didn't Tucson's pitchers deliver the ball from the same distance as the Benson pitcher? The distance was marked of and agreed upon by the opposing captains.
 These allwse and much abused pets of Tucson knew not the proper distance according to the league rules so they measured 1t with their eagle eyes and said before the game, lit is good" Now they squeak like babies.
 The strong arm pitcher of Benson's nine has probably pitched in as many games of ball as the Tucson scrub ever saw, and never before has he heard such an infantile ranting.
 The Citizen says the pets were up all night. That is an injustice to tell 1n them, as they had am le time to sleep before leaving Tucson and after arriving at Benson.
 It is a very mean howl they have | ct out, and the sooner they admit ! they were fairly beaten the scorer they will get the sympathy they so earnestly seek. It would be well for them also if they would admit that hey are not the best ball players on ,arth. BENSON.

A ruDL,c NECESSITY.

The steady growth of Nogales,
 its increase in population and the
 rapid augmentation of the number
 of children of school age in the
 town have long since outrun the
 facilities supplied by the edihces
 now ill use. All the rooms in the school building are over-crowded, outside rooms have been rented, and they also are inadequate to the demand upon them In this situ- ation new school house is a public necessity which should be met as soon as possible.
 Hitherto the school district has been unable to erect a structure ade- quate to the wants and needs of the school population by the impossi- bility of borrowing money on the faulty title to all real estate. Some six years ago an issue of school bonds was voted, but for the very reason indicated no sale of the SC curities could be made. Investors would not take bonds of school district the title of the real property in which was inchoate. While other and poorer Arizona school districts where titles rested upon government patent were selling their bonds at par or at premium, Nogales district could sell bonds at no price. That trouble has dis appeared and the issue of the United States patent to the townsite makes Nogales school bonds gilt edged se- curities. Doubtless they would command a premium.
 Now IS the time to act As soon as the board of supervifors has ar ranged and numbered the school districts i'll the new county of Santa Cruz, so the district can be correctly designated, the board of education should call a bond election to vote bonds i'll sufficient amount to pro- vide building which will meet all the requirements of the district for the next twenty years. A two story building with at least eight school rooms and the necessal y rec l itation rooms, etc, should be pro- vided. By moving immediately an election can be called, bonds is- sued, sold and structure erected by the end of the holiday recess, ! next January, if not before. The people of the school district are in favor of the propo- sition, and no time should be lost in carrying it out.
