CANCER

Sufferers from this horrible malady
nearly always inherit it-not necessarily
from the parents, but may be from some
remote ancestor, for Cancer often runs
through several generations. This deadly
poison may lay dormant in the blood for

breast, or some other part of the body,

To cure Cancer thoroughly and perma-

eliminated from the blood-every yestage

IS the only medicine that can reach deep

conclude from these manifestations of peculiar mania that they indicate low | order of civilization among our people. ety. But the fact should not be over looked that this school of journalism" is a heritage from the days of the past. and no longer has the support of the citizenship of the territory.
 Always the residents of Arizona have been above the average of intelligence. They have been newspaper readers from the first. However. the sparse population and frontier conditions were not conducive to the upbuilding of important newspaper plants within the territory. While there have at all times been some brilliant exceptions, the newspaper field generally was left to be covered by men whose indolence and incapacity barred them from mak- ing q living in the ordinary callings. all of which demanded industry and hard work. The people were friendly to newspapers. They wished { O see them sustained. They were quite willing to put up with the material on hand, since nothing better offered. Thus was developed the Arizona school of newspapers. which became notorious throughout the union- So well known did this school become as characteristic of this territory, that a shrewd humorist. M. Quad,' took ad- vantage of the situation and estab- lished a worldwide reputation for the mythical Arizona Kicker which was popularly accepted as a caricatuI1 but little exaggerated The full ex- tent to which Arizona has suffered from the incubus of .lIe journalists" portrayed by M. Quad" can never be known. That they have kept out i'm migration. frightened away capital. retarded development. and delayed statehood, is incontrovertible.
 But what we wish to impress upon the outside world is tke fact that there is a new Arizona-a commonwealth builded by the glorious Hassayampers and late coming sturdy citizens who have redeemed the desert and opened the mines and established here a so- ciety equal to the best that America Arizona which is presented by the al legged newspapers which disgrace the calling to which the affect to belong. One excellent proof of this statement is furnished by the fact that every one of the class of publications to which we refer is hanging on the ragged edge" financially, eking out d miser- !. -.r line iv11y against the tide of progress which is carrying them to oblivion. The peo- pie no longer support them.
 Arizona is all right Let us have statehood.

MT. Jones was T years old and a native of Illinois. Early in his youth he began to cultivate a benign feeling for dumb brutes, and his syrnpathies were not without their reward, for his animal friends seemed to understand his af- fection for them and eagerly responded to it. He succeeded in perfectly tam ing number of wild birds, and he domesticated several butfaioes, using them for agricultural purposes. and demonstrating that they had utility other than that found in their pelts.

 work. The eleventh census cost 11,0O0.OO0. An army of :, 500 clerks in the clerical department of the census bureau, and another army of 6O.OOO enumerators have been employed to do this stupendous work. The payroll of this vast force was enormous, the daily disbursements for the present clerical force being over ss, GOO. or more than s2OO, 1000 per month.
 The enumerators were only employed about a month or six weeks. Their average salary was approximated at 8 day. or more than half a million dollars for learning the exact number of persons living in the United States, Cuba, Porto Rico and Hawaii, between July l, 1900, and July 30 of the same year, and other data.
 Of course, the services of these 60,000 enumerators have long since been dis pensed with, and the clerical force of 3, 600 will be reduced at feast one-half by the first of the year.
 The establishment of a permanent census bureau has been advocated by sll of the directors for the past thirty or forty years, including General Walker, Robert P. Porter and Carroll D. Wright, the present commissioner of labor. All of them have declared from time to time that there would not only be 9 great saving of money to the government, but that the work could be done more accurately and in a much shorter period.

 Referring to the above the Mining and Engineering Review says:
 Arizona is knocking at the nations door for admission. and we hope the door will be thrown wide open with hearty welcome. California can well appreciate the position of ' Arizona when it is remembered that no less statesman than Webster opposed Cali fornias admission to statehood on The ground that it was "a barren land of sand and sagebrush, and q haunt of savages and wild beasts" Arizona will be extended a cordial greeting by Cali fornia, and the two great mineral states ot the Pacific coast will hence forth march side by side to prosperity.

Sundays issue of The Republican contained more than sixty-cne columns
 of paid advertising ANOTHER a new record for this HIGH-wATER paper. and a quantity MARK which would probab-
 ly exceed the adver- Using in all other territorial dailies combined. Few newspapers between Chicago and Los Angeles even ap- proach this showing.
 It means, of course. that the busi- ness men of Arizona and of Phoenix especially. are among the brightest and most enterprising in the United it pays to advertise in The Republican. Of course, the advertising comes to this paper, because it has the circu- lation. This journal is read every morning by practically every family in Phoenix, by nearly everybody in the neighborins towns. and by large number of ranchers in the valley. Mer- chants know, therefore. that through The Republican they are talking to a vast audience comprising substantially the entire population of Phoenix and the Salt River valley. In the matter of being such universal home pa per, The Republican enjoys q unique position in the newspaper world. No other paper in the union has the en- tire population of the town in which it is published as its readers. Not only that, but in the broadest sense it is a territorial newspa per. There is hard ly a postofIfce in Arizona to which it does not go.
 As to some of the reasons for this circulation, we think our readers would say that it is because The Republican prints the news; because it is fair: because it does not surfeit it's read CTS with "politics"; because it stands steadfast as the champion of Phoenix and all Arizona and of every legitimate business interest whether conducted by respectable and reliable, and because every man of a family knows that he can safely give it to his wife and children to read

Gen. eral Walker said he believed that a permanent establishment would prove to be in the highest dgeree economical. in the sense of preventing errors and getting more for the money.
