Legislature, in which 1 expressed the
opinion that it would not be advisable to
create such an Office at that tine.
"1n my last message, as a result of ex
perience and observation, approved the
suggestion in the following language: 'In
my former address l called attention to
the fact that | had received eommunca-
lions from quite mum Der OF men familiar
with State affairs, declaring that in their
judgment there was an urgent necessity of
creating the office of State auditor, and
insisting that the State would save much
money by so doing, in excess of the cost of
the department. After two years. expert
ence in examining and auditing bills
against the State by committees of the
executive council, am fully convinced of
the truth and correctness OF these state
ments, and the pressing need of such an
officer. l care not how faithful commit
tees OF the council may be, they cannot so
fully protect the interests of the State as
an experienced auditor would. l think
there are but two states in the Union be-
side our own that do not have this officer
To create this Office it will be necessary
perhaps, to submit an amendment to the
State constitution, which now imposes
very many of the duties of the auditor
upon the governor and council lam still
of the opinion that was right in my last
expression on the matter.
The cost of the office of auditor would
not be all output, even il its work re-
suited in no direct saving in the expense
account of the State government. We
now pay about $3.50 year for the exam
nation of the treasurer's accounts, which
could be saved and applied to the expenses
of such an office. In the early days of
Maine, and in fact till within compare
lively recent time, all the State depart
ments were directly supported by the tax
payers. This is not the case to-day. The
last report of the State treasurer shows
that the departments Of State paid into
the treasury, including what was collected
from the railroads on behalf of the State
commissioners, amounts collected from
licenses, fees, etc, aggregating about S50,-
OOO-a sum which goes long way towards
their support.
81 am decidedly of the opinion that the
State will save money, and not small
amount, by having an auditor to carefully
scrutin:ze its accounts and keep system
OF books for recording them, that will
enable them to be placed in detail before
the taxpayers of the State. This is sim
ply the good, sound business policy pur-
sued by all big corporations, and as | have
already said, by all the states in the Union,
| with two exceptions.
at is question worthy Of the careful
consideration OF every taxpayer who de-
sires the affairs of his State to be con-
Quoted upon good, sound, business prin-
ciples."

Treat the children sen.,b,y.

"Many theorists In methods for the

less the highest practice. the highest
ground to take. But let us pause mo-
ment and think. In all the ....,...s rela-
tons among grown folks, in business, IN
duties to one another, in s.-... intes-
course. how many right acts are perform
ed purely because they are right acts and
for no other reason? The people who live
in all their relations to life ON this high
plane are in the minority. The ability
to live on such plane is only acquired
by years Of discipline and self sacrifice.
How can one demand of child that
course Of action which is so hardly ac-
quired by those of larger growth? These
of necessity have the unavoidable dis
cipline of years, and they find tnis alone
not enough to keep them in that high,
pure atmosphere where not only virtue
is its own reward but where l. is the
only reward desired.
Let us agree, then, to give children re-
wards But the giving of them must be
set about with many cautions. Much
depends on the way in which the child is
made to regard the reward. Never,
never let it be anything valued coarsely
for its moneys worth. Never let it be
anything valued for its sbowiness or for
its superiority to what another child pos
sesses. Even try to guard against this
feeling, I want one because John or
Susie has one.' Children will try for O
trifling reward, simply because it fills
their minds and is something to look for
ward to. To illustrate, teacher of

of the ancients with Mark Smith to
address the people here in English
and Spanish on the issues of the day.
Mr.. Orfila is one of the best campaign
speakers in Arizona, one who always
carries conviction to the hearts of his
hearers. With the Mexican people
he is an idol, for he is true and sincere
in his statements to them, never at
tempting to deceive; they know they
can implicitly rely upon him for good
advice; that which is always to their
best interest. Mr.. Orfila is no strang-
er to the people of Clifton, where he
is ever welcome.

support of the people of the county,

scientioas and impartial manner in

the funds belonging thereto. He has

other. Of course he will be elected,

of the county. Give him your votes,

Hon. Mark A. Smith in Clifton.

The democrats of Clifton never be-
lieve in doing things by halves, SO in
rendering Mark Smith reception on
his arrival here last night they did
themselves proud and out-did all pre-
viOus attempts. AT the depot, when
the train pulled in, was a brass band
of twenty-five pieces playing ''Hail to
the Chief" while great throngs of
Smith admirers were also present, all
pressing forward to shake the hand of
the next congressman from Arizona.
Mr.. Smith was escorted to his hotel
where, for the next hour, great crowds
poured in upon him to shake his hand
and to welcome him into our midst.
That Mr.. Smith is a great favorite in
Clifton was manifested by the dense
packing of the Library Hall by our
towns people who gathered there to
hear him speak. The hall was filed
stood around the doors and windows
on the outside eager to catch what
they could of the eloquent words that
fell from Mr.. Smiths lips. When Mr..
Smith left the hotel for the place of
speaking it was the signal for the fir
ing of guns and beautiful display of
fireworks. AS he entered the hall
grand Grafton was given him, and dur
ing the hour and ten minutes in which
he spoke he was frequently inter
rupted by enthusiastic outbursts
of applause. Mr.. Smith never spoke
to a more appreciative and respOn-
sive audience in all Arizona and it is
useless to say he delivered one of the
most eloquent, effective and telling
speeches ever heard in Clifton. If he
hadn't vote pledged to him before
last night in Clifton, he has hundreds
now and is certain to carry this town
by a handsome ma jority. From trav-
cling in the heat and dust and making
out door speeches Mr.. Smith was some
what out of voice, nevertheless he
held his audience who listened with
rapt attention from the beginning to
the end of his speech, drinking in
every word he uttered. He paid par
ticular attention to Gov. Murphy's
record on the Yavapai and Pima
county bond question and showed that
gentleman up in a most unenviable
light in view of the latter statement
on the subject here a few evenings
ago. His statements about the gov
ernor were couched in respectful Ian
guage, for Mark Smith abuses no man.
On the statehood question he showed
how absurd was the claim of the gov
ernor that he alone could secure that
boon so dear to every Arizonian's
heart. After a review of the national
issue in which the trusts were severe
ly arraigned in d clear and fOrCible
manner, Mr. Smith closed his speech
with an impassioned appeal to his
hearers to remain true to the princi-
pies of our forefathers and uphold
that document, the Constitution of
the United States, SO sacred to every
American heart.
