New Workers Ask Roosevelt to Inves-
 tigate Situation.

New York, June At a meeting of the New York Board of Trade and Trans portation today, Oscar s. Straus presid- ing. resolutions were adopted urging President Roosevelt to appoint com missioner to investigate the situation in the anthracite coal regions and to see if the miners and operators could not be induced to arbitrate their difficulties.
 Such power, 1t was declared, was vest ed In the chief executive by chapter 1063 of the federal laws dealing with difference or controversies that may affect inter state transportation and commerce.

It is intimated in official cir cles that if such commissioner Is ap- pointed the president will look to Sena- to anna to undertake the task.

4 CHANGE.

With this issue Messers. Bull X Leonard retire from the ERA, which passes under the control Of the Era Publishing Company.
 This change in management was totally unexpected by the former own c?s of the paper until few weeks ago, when they were confronted with the fact that the republicans of the c0un- tv. who had no organ, had raised a considerable sum of money, and were then ready to put in first-class news paper and job printing establishment, and with ample capital in reserve to establish newspaper.
 We were asked by the promoters of thi, new enterprise to name a price Cor our plant and business, and real iZfnr that there was not room here for two newspapers, we decided to comply with their request. Our offer was ac- ccptcd, and we therefore retire from the business.
 Wo regret exceedingly that this change was necessary during the cam r,ais-u. GUS sorn,, wiIR doubtless aver that we "sold out the party" which, however, is not tho case. It was pure lv q business transaction, in which no one was interested but ourselves. We insisted on not having the transfer made after the campaign was over, but the republicans would not consent to this, as they had their money ready, and wanted to use tho paper during the campaign. In the language of the strcot, we wcro t"up against the real thing" It was trade then or hav9 op- position, which would have cut the very life out Of our business. We pre- fcrrcd to trade, as any other business men would have done under the cir Cumstauces.
 The salo includes the good will and subscription list to the ERA. All bill, due tho ERA other than subscription will be payable to the old firm. All money due on subscription will be pay able to the new company.
 We sincerely thank the people Of Clifton for their liberal patronage, and assure them that not only their liber- ality, but also their kindness will not soon be forgotten by us.
 Very truly,

MORRLSON'S CAMPAIGN.

The gratifying news comes from the northern and western counties, that Robt. E. Morrison, republican candi- date for delegate to congress, Is making a most surprising canvass and is receiving enthusiastic greetings wherever be goes. He Is man of ability, standing for above his op- ponent, Wilson, and he represents ideas Of government that are pulsing with life and that commend them selves to the best ofArizona's manhood.
 Arizona is now passing into new era. The old, sleepy, unprogressive order Of things is passing away and this splendid mineral territory is standing forth as a strong man girded for race. The blood Of the coming commonwealth is moving faster, and a place is demanded among the states of progress-where action takes the place Of dead and dying theories.
 Morrison will lead us into brighter day; better life. He will give Us standing in the east which We do not now possess and which Wilson cannot bring to us. He will be the friend and associate and have the confidence of men who can do and accomplish.
 Let us stand by him now and make his election certain.

kELLY'S INDEPENDENT
 TOTE.

For two or three years past, Kelly. the political seer Of the Gila, has had much to say concerning the large and rapidly increasing independent vote of Graham county. He has praised this vote, commented it for its wisdom in refusing to walk in the devious path oi democracy, aud rejoiced exceeding ly when the count showed that the Independent vote had in fact acted ac- cording to its own sweet will. Now We witness the spectacle by the shifty Kelly, bull whip in band, attempting to lash this same independent vote into the democratic ranks. We learn now, indeed, that there is, or should be, no independent vote that dem ocracy once instilled should extend even unto the fourth or filth genera tIon. Kelly always has an axe upon the grind stone. Some years he deems 1t best sharpened by defeating the party to which he pretends allegiance; other years by electing i:. His fran tic efforts with the bull whip are amusing, especially to those who re- call his lengthy and lauditious edi- torial concentrations Of this same rapidly increasing independent vote.

IN HIS campaign speeches over the territory, J. F. Wilson, democratic candidate for delegate to congress, ad- vocates a most amazing proposition. It is nothing more or less than to repu- diate. the solom promise of the terri tory with regard to the non-taxatiou Of railroads for term of years, to the end that the taxable property Of the territory may be increased. Mr. Will son will speedily learn that the hon. esty-loving people Of Arizona will not tolerate any plan that smscks Of bad faith TOT will il tolerate any man who advocates such 8 plan.

The action Of the democratic news papers of Graham county in belittling the republican campaign meetings, is an exhibition Of uarrowness not looked for by the writer. The meetings at Morenci. Metcalf and Clifton were they were excellent meetings, we'll at- tended and enthusiastic. The old trick of belittling and ridiculing the work Of the opposition has long since been abandoned by reputable journals and will net be indulged in by the Era.

DEMOCRATIC PLATFORM.

The territorial democratic couven- ton adopted platform which pledges the party to a number oi measures which are revolutionary and which would work great harm 10 the terri tory 1T enacted into laws. IL is fair was constructed for a vote catcher, little thought being given to the effect such proposed legislation would have upon the industrial life Of Arizona. Four years ago and two years ago, the democrats went before the people with practically the same platforms-plat- forms that pandered to any element that promised vote, no matter how unwise or unworthy the measure sug- gested may have been. In the terri torial legislature the party, although strongly in the majority, lacked the courage to enact into law the proposed measures, the ad dvocacy of which had hel ped 10 boost them into power,
 Judging from the past, it is fair to assume that the Arizona democracy Of 1902 is not sincere in the declarations upon which il is asking for suffrage. The proposed eight hour law, the mine inspection law and the various forms Of railway legislation are all measures which have found lodgment in democratic platforms of former years. If they were inserted merely as a campaign trick then, they are there for the same purpose nov, and the deceit thus. attempted upon the people is unworthy Of a great political organization. There are here and there over the territory small bodies or men who hold views out of har- mony with the best interests of Ari- zona. These men have no politics, but vote for the party showing the most favor to their peculiar views. The democratic party has ever pandered to that vote. It has promised laws and measures, and is still promising legis- lation, that would not only iniure the territory as a whole, but would work the utter urGoing of the very men who are making the demands. No party has ever needed votes worse in times past than the republican party of Arizona, but it has never encOur- aged unworthy measures nor obtained support through false pretense.

Democratic Meetings.

Hon. J. Frank Wilson will speak in Stafford. October 2; Morenci, October %; Clifton, October 80.
The copper era., 1902-10-16

The ERA has advanced the charita- ble view that the democratic platform was an insincerc document; that the party does not in reality intend to full fill the solemn promises Of that plat form. The people of Arizona, how ever, cannot afford to risk the truth of this theory. Back of every other in dustry in the southwest is the mining industry. Cripple that and the capi- tai which gives it life and you strike blow at our very vitals. This is especially true as regards the copper industry at this time of low prices. If the democratic platform means any thing, it means that capital is to be crippled and discouraged, that every mining camp shall be placed in con- dition of uncertainty and doubt and that no more railroads be built, except it be done in the face of hostile laws a pleasing prospect indeed for this desert territory struggling for devel- opment against the almost unsur- mountable obstacles of nature.
The copper era., 1902-10-16

This brings the writer to the fact be wishes 10 impress upon the voters that the platform is either dodging, vote-catching declaration, or a pledge to do vicious and unwise things. In either case it is unworthy of support unworthy of the confidence of the people. Arizona needs more people, more capital, more industry. The lit tie frictions and inequalities will take care of themselves in the natural course of events. Let us open our doors and extend welcome to all the world by creating statutes that are safety and stability.

Territorial Republican Ticket.
Representative to Congress ROBERT EMM6T MORRISON
 Of Yavapai County.

COUNTY REPUBLICAN TICKET.
The copper era., 1902-10-16

The platform demands the creation of the office of mine inspector. This sounds very well, but what is back of it? A three thousand dollar year job for somo politician, who would be given unlimited license to barrass and hold-up mining companies. Every company operating mines employs high salaricd engineers, who are ex- pert5 in their special lines, to do the work which it is proposed to turn over to an outsider. The proposed meas ure is bad one and one for which thore is no general demand. The mine owners know how to protect their mines and employees better than any territorial officer can tell them.
The copper era., 1902-10-16

The platform proposes to regulate the railroads by means of arbitrary laws to limit their earnings. The ef- feet of such law would be to disCour age the building of more roads in Arizona and thus check the mineral development and progress of the terri tory. Nothing but competing lines will ever lower the freight rates in this territory. As proof of this, note the conditions in Cochise county com pared with conditions before the new roads penetrated that section. The railroad rates have been nearly cut in half. Additional lines, especially through lines, will sulve the freight and passenger rate problem for Ari- zona as it has been solved for every frontier country. Hostile legislation would simply retard the solving for many years.

Trouble Among Peasants Said TO he
Spreading.

VIENNA, Aug. 6-The strike of Ga
lician peasants is at present spreading
TO districts which have. hitherto not
been affected, and there have been
many conflicts between the peasants
and the military. A detachment of
uhlans attacked 800 peasants ut Poth-
ering. Many OF the latter were wound
ed. and the soldiers made 173 arrests.
The prisoners were confined overnight,
densely overcrowded, in a stable and
taken to jail the next day in a fainting
condition, not having tasted food in
twcnty-four hours.
Three Ruthenian members of the
chamber of deputies have protested
In this matter to DR.. Won Koerber, the
Austrian premier, declaring the peas
nnts to be Indifferent whether they die
ut the hands of drunken gendarmes,
brutal soldiers or the legal eXecutioner.
This protest alleges that officials are
siding with the landlords instead of
acting as mediators in the trouble.
