Same Old Story.

Last issue Of the Rihe Reveille con.
tained the following:
Another one of those eastern grocery
houses who pay the county no taxes. buy
no butter, eggs, potatoes, beans or other
produce, and who do not credit you, but
whose genteel salesman tickles the
baby's chin. praises your ranch, admires
your horses and smiles sweet smiles at
your wife. have been doing business in
our county this week. Even some of
our representative men are said to have
been subject to their wiles; they forget
the people who elect them to Office and
who pay for their work, their mistakes
also. and make no kick. We would nut
urally expect patronage Of the home
merchants from such. However, the
hnms ussrchasts say they will duplicate
any $40 bill with the same grade Of goods
for CASH and return to the customer
SIS in cash. The only difficulty the home
merchants would have In doing this is
that the majority OF their customers call
for better grade of goods. Suppose YOU
try the home merchants with CASH on a
nice big order such as you give the east
ern house and see what they will do for
you. Then II you are satisfied that the
eastern man has deceived you, confine
yourself to home patronage; but IL you
still think the dashing eastern salesman
mans smiles and wiles ard pleasant
words are worth dollars and cents to
you,-then stay with him, because you
are not our kind of people. Our own
merchants carry q bigger and more
varied stock Of everything than is carried
by the merchants of any other town in
the state the size of Rifle. they are
always ready and eager to serve you,
their prices are right and the people
really should have no kick coming"

Hay, Honey, hydrocarbons.

Hay, Honey, Hydrocarbons.
Hay. honey and hydrocarbons are the
three products that will yet make
Uintah county famous.
Three crops of alfalfa hay, which
grows extra large and yields above the
average, are harvested in a season. and
with railroad through the country
Uintah county will become popular
place for feeding stock for its abund-
ance of hay and mild winters.
We already excel in the production of
honey. both in number of pounds and
quality. There never has been case of
foul brood In the valley. Uintah county
Is paradise for the honey bee-havin0
this year. according to the assessment
roll. 4.O82 colonies of bees valued at
$l2.l68, and these figures will be in
creased one third after swarming is
over.
More asphaltnm. or gilsonite as 1t is
commonly called, is found within the
borders of Uintah county than anywhere
else in the United States. The veins
range from six inches to twenty feet in
width and the depth is unknown. The
supply is simply inexhaustible. This in
dustry alone will make Uintah the
richest county in the state.
Many more natural resources could
be mentioned. any one of which is a
source Uf wealth within itself. We have
our own coal. wood and lumber. Mines
which show as good surface indications

from Senator Jefferson. We would

as good show as anyone In that race.

Chloride it was even worse. All along the line the Democrats are averse to take up with man who tried his level best to defraud Mark Smith of his just won laurels two years ago. They may forgive but cannot forget the disrepu- table methods employed by this man in an attempt to thwart the will of the majority when he set up his rump con- vention at Phoenix, after Mark Smith was declared the nominee of the Dem ocratic party. The friends of Mark Smith will not forget that barefaced action, and will turn down the man who dared to resort to such disreputa- ble methods. In this county his vote will be less than one-half that of Mark Smiths at the last ion.-Kingman Miner.

If you want continuation of the present prosperity, the regulation of trusts by the courts and, if need be, by a sensible and conservative law, vote the Republican ticket. If you want hard times, thousands of men out of work pending the ''revision" of the tariff, the trusts destroyed by legisla- tion which will upset the whole finan- cial structure, vote the Democratic ticket. Take your choice.

It is not expected that candidate for office who advocates free trade will receive an ovation in the counties where one of the principal industries is wool growing and another industry that of manufacturing lumber, and Col. Wilson, who complains that his reception in the northern counties was decidedly cool one, should feel com. plimented that he had even small audi ences in these counties. The people do not desire to listen to or vote for man that is willing to aid in destroying their present prosperity.

The Democratic speakers have good deal to say in regard to trusts. We will admit that there are more trusts than were ever known before in this coun- try, but on the other hand, there are more men employed at good wages than were ever before known, and there is not a man in this country that can not get work if he wants it.

THE REPUBLICAN TERRITORIAL
 PLATFORM.

in convention assembled this 17th day of September, 1902, hereby reaffirm and endorse the national Republican platform adopted by the national con- vention at Philadelphia in 1890 and at St. Louis in 1896.
 "We call attention to the complete and unparalled success of Republican policies adopted and conducted under the provisions of those platforms, by enactment of wise and judicious laws by Republican congress. and their enforcement by Republican admins tratiOn.
 "We call attention to the glorious triumps of those administrations in the fields of war and diplomacy.
 "We are proud of the administration of William Mckinley, which marks in the history of our country an epoch as great and far-reaching as that of the first great Republican president-Abra- ham Lincoln.
 "We rejoice that when Divine Wis dom, in it's infinite mercy, called hence our third martyred president, the Re- publican party had given in Theo- dore Roosevelt great and worthy successor.
 ''We indorse all territorial adminis- trations provided for Arizona by Presi- dents Mckinley and Roosevelt and commend them to the people.
 "We congratulate the people of Ari- zona upon the brilliant prospects for statehood, and we maintain that the political complexion of the territory should have nothing to do with our claims for admission.
 ''We hold that the trusts are not due to the tariff, but they are due to loose corporation laws, adopted by Democratic commonwealths, under which laws cre- ating great and pernicious combina- tiOns of capital are greatly facilitated.
 ''We congratulate the people of Ari- zona upon the adoption by Republi- can congress, at the recommendation of Republican president, of wise and benifcent water storage system.
 "All labor has the right to and 1t is well that it should organize, to the end that the relations between employees and the employer shall be of the closest mutual interest.
 "We pledge the Republican party to the enactment of such just and equi- table Legislation as will tend to the best interests and well being of labor.
 "We are in favor of mod i6cations of the present laws in reference to the taxation of mines and the output thereof, and we pledge our party to conservative and beneficial Legislation in reference to the same.
 "We congratulate our sister republic of Mexico upon the ninety-second an- niversary of their national independ- ence, now in course of celebration.
 ''We favor the exclusion of Chinese and all alien labor.
 "The foregoing declaration Of prin- ciples are commended to the considera- tion of the people of Arizona, with confidence ln their opposition to the present situation, and their efficacy In application"
