TIE Gazette says it has no desire to lay straw in the way of any pri- vate or corporate scheme impending water for irrigating purposes. On the contrary, it is anxious to see as many enterprises of that kind begun and
 carried out as possible. The Gazette, however, begs to suggest that the organization and plan to build great storage dam at the mouth of Tonto Basin is more than seven years old, and nothing has yet been done, not even so much as sounding for bed rock. So far as publicly known there is not now and never was anybody connected with the scheme that had any money or credit or financial stand ing. The company was organized and the dam site located on water right selling scheme. The proper course to pursue is for the United States gov erment to take possession of the site, build the dam and such reservoirs as are needed and turn the water over to the canals already built. If we wait for private capital to build that great reservoir, judging by the pro- gress made for the last seven years, the youngest child in the Salt River valley will die with old age before it is even commenced.

PROSPEROUS FINAL COUNTY. The Ray Copper Camp and Tributar, Mines Making Much Business.
[From the Tueson star.l

The Mammoth -Collins Gold mine is not only one of the largest producers in Arizona out 1t has for months been largely the mainstay of prosperity for Pinal county and it's rapidly inereas- ing pay roll and bullion output is an important factor in the support of our sister county.
 THE RAY MINES.
 During the past few months, in har- mony with the rapid advance in the price of copper, an English syndicate was organized, which purchased the Ray copper mines from L. Zeckendorf & Co.,, of tlis city. Since that time much development has been made and machinery put into operation which is turning out large quantities of rich concentrates.
 Yesterday J. K Truman, manager for D. F. Kelly ia the development of his group of copper mines in that vicin- ity, known as the Key de Key mines, was iu of the city Mr. Trumln is a min ing nan with years of experience, and from him the Star was pleased to learn of the prosperity of the mining district in and about the Ray mines.
 The Ray is now employing 3s0 men and want l50 more. They are running their new Cornish roller mill and concentrators. The mill has a capacity of 250 tons of ore daily, though not at present running at full capacity. A railroad is being graded from the mines to the town seven miles distant and is about half complete d. It is the inten- tion to continue it on to a connection with the Southern Pacific road at Red Rock, a distance of 47 miles from Ray and s miles from Key del Key mines. Iron is being elivered daily by teams for the piece of road now being built.
 Chittenden and Ladd are working their copper mines near the Buttes making re gular shipments of high grade ore. They are working about thirty me D. They are down 175 feet and in reach carbonates. The ore shipped verages over 50 per cent.
 Smith & McNamara are working their copper claims located about half way between Florence and the Ray, and Ere making regular shi pments.
 Cochran < Harris have bond ed their mines to a Boston company wh ich is pushing development work. The bond is for g 1000. Messrs. Mckinney and Mccarthy are developing their mines across the river from the Ray and at 200 feet the workings show large body of rich carbona tes.
 Florence is enjoying a frst-elass boom, the large uaouut of freighting between Casa Grande aud the Ray keeping np constant string of teams, and Florence is enjoying the results of the same.
 Mir. Truman says that Pinal is look ing more promising than any other section he has visited in the territory that the pros perity has come to stay because the mineral is there to make it.

IF the merchants and hotel men of Phoenix were halfway liberal in patronizing the newspapers published in their ueighborhood they might ex- pect more free advertising for their lim-fam carnivals. The business men of that town are noted for wanting something for nothing. But when they don't give their own papers de- cent support, outside publications ought not to complain.

or calculated to work detriment to the
interests of this incompetent citizen, be.
tween the time Of its ratification and the
year 1908, is wholly false. That class
of citizens has never had 50 true and
seryiceable a friend as their white neigh
bors, and these white neighbors are no
less their friends than they have been
through all the past. The white mans
theory has been to prepare his incom-
petent neighbor for citizenship by means
of the school house, the inspirations of
religion, the equitable administration of
law, and by the strong induction of per-
sonal kindness. But these means, SO
powerful with other races, have failed to
bring about the desired results. Another
remedy must he tried, not as substituting
but as supplementing these which are
still in use This remedy may injure
the sentiment, but will not injure the in
terests of this experimental citizen. His
interest are one with those of the Anglo
Saxon citizen who has governed the
country from its foundation. He is i'm
capable, if left to himself, of directing
or preserving these interests. The pro-
posed amendment gives to the Anglo
Saxon the opportunity and responsibility
of caring for these interests without
hindrance until sufficient time shall
have elapsed for the incompetent citizen
to prepare himself for the exercises Of
the franchise ON the condition Of an in

part, has been left to the State within
which this newly made citizen has his
abode and relations.
In this discussion the question: arises,
why is it, that under the proposed
amendment the uneducated white man
the safe citizen, as we have herein desig-
mated him is to be allowed a voice in
the government of the State, while the
man whose ancestors were not electors
prior to 1867, occupies a different posi-
ton? We answer: On the one hand we
have man in whose veins the blood of
the freeman has flowed for generations.
He has an innate and deathless love for
freedom. His traditions on this line are
full of heroic sacrifices of his ancestry
to procure and secure the liberty which
he enjoys. He has q large and ennobling
ambition to transmit these liberties un-
abused and unabridged to his p0sterity.
This class has furnished many illustrious
examples of the loftiest patriotism, not
only when the State has called for their
services at the ballot box, but when the
sterner calls of duty have demanded
that they measure their devotion to their
country by laying their lives upon its
affairs. While the white citizen of North
Carolina is ever bettered by every form
and degree of wholesome learning, he
does not have to possess it in order to
be a safe, incorruptible, a patriotic citi-
zen. We thus have ON the one hand the

telligent interest in the welfare of the
State and Of himself as Il citizen thereof.
The elimination of this class of citi-
zens from politics will be God-send to
them. 1t will loosen the bonds between
them and those white leaders who play
upon their ignorance and prejudice to
lead them away from their true friends
and against their own highest interests,
and it will strengthen the bonds between
them and the white neighbor upon whom
they are dependent for industrial and
commercial prosperity and progress. The
colored citizen is on trial, not only before
the people of the South, but before the
world, not as a political element chiefly,
but as All industrial factor. This comes
near to his heart and his home. This is
the sphere of his real interest, and what
ever disentangles him on the non-essen-
tial side and gives him larger freedom
on the essential side of his life and des-
tiny is for his present and permanent
good. Nothing in this regard will serve
him better than this temporary elimina
ton from politics. His elimination from
politics does not mean his elimination
from citizenship, except in regard to the
voting function which he lis the least
capable Of appreciating and least prepar-
cd to use for his own benefit and the
good OF the State. All other rights
guaranteed to the best of our citizens
are youchsafed to him: Moreover, the
provisions Of this amendment are not
such as to work a permanent or even
temporary disabement Of any class,
but only n limitation OF the
right Of franchise for short
period Of time In it there is no
discrimination against the colored citi-
zen, distinctively as a class. The inhi-
bition Of the 10Th Amendment Of the
Constitution of the United States only
applies when such conditions exist. Sub
ject to this limitation, the State of
North Carolina still possesses the I'M
questioned right to declare what qualifi-
cation the citizen shall possess before he
can exercise the right of suffrage The
citizen affected by the amendment is put
on notice as to the States estimate of
his incDmpetency after thirty years of
trial. and Of its demand that he shall use
the opportunity provided at the States
cost, if he desires to exercise the right
of participating in the direction of Il free
and intelligent State. In otheE~ words,
he shall measure his estimate of this
sacred right by his efforts to obtain it,
when the State itself has provided the
means necessary to this end. The shock
that will come to this class by the tenn
pofary suspension of the right to vote
viii not be greater than is needed to
arouse the vast majority Of them to the

Anglo Saxon. with all that the name inn
plies: the man who century after cen
tury. with unyielding force, has forged
his way through every form Of tyranny
and oppression into that large Demo-
cratic civilization which, whether it ex-
lists under formal monarchies or ayowed
Republics, stands for an unshackled
manhood and for the free, independent,
self governing State.
On the other hama, we nave the anti
podal man--the man who stands 1T the
other extreme Of the human race; the
man in whose veins creeps the slow blood
Of a savage ancestry-an ancestry which,
though holding undisputed control Of the
richest of the continents. has not moved
one step away from his primeyal bar

The highest political possession Of man
kind is the Right of the Franchise, and
the most solemn and sacred political
duty is the right use Of it. This man
had this incalculabIe treasure which had
been purchased by the Anglo-Saxon with
cole l4tf4e
thrust upon him as an unearned gift,
and he rejoiced in it only as the savage
red man rejoiced in the beads and
trinkets for which he had bartered the

A NATIOTAL ORGANIZATION
On the Lines of the Chicago Civic Fedora
ton Projected

ton Projected
CHICAGO, September 24-The exc
cutive committee of the Civic Fedora
ton of Chicago has authorized its
President, Franklin H Head, to ap-
point a committee of twenty-five to or
ganize national Civic Federation.
This committee is to be composed Of
men representing different sections of
the country and different phases of so
cial, economical and political issues of
the day. The object of such an organi-
cation is stated to be to provide for a
thorough discussion and consideration
of questions of national import affect
ing either the foreign or domestic poll
icy of the United States to aid in the
public sentiment in the country in re-
spect there to; and to promote neces-
sary legislation in accordance there
With. The leaders of the Chicago Fed
Grafton have contemplated this move
for some time, deeming it essential if
national work were to become any
thing more than educational. In Jan
uary, 1898, the Chicago Civic Fedora
ton called a national conference on
primary elections and municipal reform
which was held in New York and which
was attended by representatives of over
forty of the largest cities in the United
States. The impetus given by this con-
ference to primary election reform leg
islation resulted in both New York and
Illinois securing new laws at the fol-
lowing sessions of their respective Leg
islatures. But beyond this and the
publication and distribution of pro-
ceedings, the Chicago Federation has
found it impracticable to go. In Aug
ust, 1898, it called at Saratoga ma
of the United States which after two
days on animated debate by leading
men of all parties, unanimously agreed
upon some broad principles which
called for further effort TO render it of
permanent value to the country. This
work could not be followed up by the
Chicago organization. The four days
trust conference, recently held in Chi
cago, was not expected to agree upon
general principles, but it was believed
the free discussion by representatives
of so many schools of thought would
furnish material and basis for more
thorough work hereafter 1t is to make
it possible to follow up TIP practical
lines suggested by the conference Chat
the National Civic Federation is pro-
jected.
