Vote the straight Democratic ticket.
FAGE THE PLAIN TRUTH.

An interesting communication ap-
peared about a week ago in the San
Francisco Examiner. 1t was as fol-
lows:
SAN FRANCISCO, CAL, Oct. IT,
You hear a great deal these days from
newspapers and citizens about the ter
rlbie wrath of the American people,
and how it sweeps away those who
defy it. That is all rot. The Amer
ican people are the most abiect endur-
ers of oppression and injustice that the
world has ever seen. They boast
about what they will do, but they take
it out in boasting. No European ma
ion would have endured for a month
the insolence and arrogance which the
American people have meekly sub
mitted to at the hands of the coal trust
for six months-and will submit to un-
til the end of time if the coal trust
sees fit to continue it. The American
people make me sick, though | am
ONE OF THEM.
There is more than a grain of truth
in this statement 1t is not the duty
VI newspapers CnaL seek TO lead the
people into correct political paths to
f1atter them. On the contrary, it is
the duty of newspapers to present the
solemn facts, and instead of predicting
the terrible wrath of an outraged
public the duty is best discharged
when the serious conditions are placed
before the people and they are urged
to correct them. 1t is true that we
have heard a great deal about the ter
rible wrath of the American people,
and how it sweeps away those who de-
fy it," and it is also true, as this
correspondent says, that there is a
great deal of rot about this. It is
likewise true that "the American peo-

THE DEMOCRATIC TICKET.

No true Democrat need scratch a
ticket next Tuesday. To make the
passage OF the Statehood bill certain
next winter, Colonel Wilson must be
elected by large majority. He is
: faithful and capable, and will honestly
and earnestly represent the interests
of Arizona at Washington. Not only
Democrats, but all citizens of Arizona
who are sincerely desirous of State
hood should vote for Colonel Wilson.
The election of Wilson is duty in
volving the highest patriotism.
The Pima county Democratic ticket
is excellent from top to bottom
Sheriff Murphy's faithful service in
Office should be rewarded with reg
election. The voters should show
that. they appreciate efficient and eco
nomical discharge of public duty by
recognizing faithful service. Sheriff
Murphy's conduct in office has saved
the taxpayers of Pima county thou
sands of dollars by discouraging ar
rests merely for making fees. Charles
Blenman is well qualified lawyer,
and an honest, fair-minded man. He
will prosecute offenders in a spirit of
justice and fair play, and with an eye
to the full enforcement of law, but
can be depended upon not to be vexa-
tious in office nor a prosecutor. 1t is
the duty of district attorney to see
that justice is done. and not merely to
convict an accused person. Many in
nocent persons have been accused of
violation of law, and for the protec
ton OF these, as well as the community
at large, man of broad mind and lib
eral instincts should be chosen for
prosecuting attorney. Mr. Blenman fits
the office admirably and he ought to
be elected by large majority.
The candidates for supervisor, Harry
Drachman and Fred Ronstadt. could
hardly be improved upon. Both are
progressive and public spirited, both
are taxpayers, both are familiar with
the conditions of Pima county, and
both can be depended upon to exercise
sound Judgment in administering the
affairs of the county.
Judge Purcell, the present efficient
and capable probate judge, has been
tried. He has sized up to the Office
well. He is honest, competent and
obliging. He will not neglect his
duty. He stands on the record he has
made. Nat Hawke, the candidate for
county treasurer, has been tried in an
important municipal Office, and we
think that every one will agree that he
has made faithful and obliging off,

What q Jealous Wife Found.

A Fayette woman suspected that her
husband was in the habit of kissing
the hired girl and resolved to detect
him in the act. Saturday night she
saw him pass quietly into the kitchen
The hired girl was out and the kitchen
dark. The jealous wife took a few
matches In her hand and. hastily plac-
ing shawl over her head, as the hired
girl often did. entered the back door,
and Immediately she was seized and
kissed and embraced in an ardent man
ner. With heart almost bursting the
wife prepared to administer terrible
rebuke to the faithless spouse, and,
tearing herself away from his fond
embrace, she struck a match and stood
face to face with~the hired man.-S Sal

WILL OTIS REFORM?

A dispatch from Washington in
forms us that the Treasury Depart
ment has directed the collector of Gus
toms at Ell Paso to refund to General
Harrison Gray Otis, the editor CT the
Los Angeles Times, certain duties paid
by him on personal effects, consisting
OF presents for his family, bought by
General Otis during a recent trip
through Mexico The amount, we be-
lieve, is in the neighborhood of forty
eight dollars
We congratulate General Otis on his
influence with the department, and on
his steadfastness in standing for his
rights. AS we understand the case,
the Los Angeles warrior-ed pur-
chased few trinkets for his grand
children during his Mexican tour and
was held up by the Dingleyites at Ell
Paso and forced to give up the
usual amount of plunder for the pro-
lection of home industries. The gen
eral, after vainly citing Secretary
Shaw's ruling that tourists may bring
home, duty free. "$100 worth of baled
hay if they like paid the assessment
under protest and took an appeal to
the Treasury Department at Wash
ington.
We are glad that Otis won his point.
He was clearly right. 1t was credit
able alike to his head and heart that
he should not forget the dear ones at
home during his foreign travel, and it
is barbarous law that would levy
a tax on his generosity and kindness.
But will the incident open the eyes of
the Los Angeles editor to the injustice,
II not brutality, of the law? He is
one of the strongest advocates of
Dingleyism, with all that the term
implies, in the United States To
pay duties On trihing presents is mere
ly vexatious to the comparatively few
generous giandpapas who go abroad;
but duties on sugar, fruit, coal, wool,
steel and beef are tax on every one.
General Otis is in the habit of get
ting red in the face with indignation
and anger every time a proposal is
made to lower the duties on fruits and
beet sugar. These are necessaries of
life to thousands of little grandchi1-
dren every whit as dear to their grand
papas as General Otis charming
grandchildren are to him.
We trust that the Ell Paso incident
has shown General Otis a great light,
and that hereafter he will use the in
fluence of his powerful newspaper to
cause the election of Congressman
pledged to reform of the tariff There
are other grandchildren than those of
General Otis in the United States who
have natural right to happiness,
contentment and an occasional luxury.

Meath and the Philoannuer.

A certain philosopher was in the
habit Of saying whenever he heard that
au old friend had passed away: All,
well. death comes tn us all. 1t is no new
thing. 1t is what we must expect.
Pass me the butter, my dear. Yes,
death comes to all, and my friends
time had come"
Now, Death overheard these philo
sOphCal remarks at different times,
Hnd one day he showed himself to the
philosopher.
Il am Death" said he simply.
"Go away" said the man, in panic.
VI am not ready for YOU"
''Yes, but it is one OF your favorte
truisms that Death comes to all, and
am but proving your words"
''Go away! You are dreadful"
"No more dreadful than Il always
am. But why have you changed so?
You have never feared the death that

In fact, the whole ticket, from be-

to courting public favor by deserving

pie are the most abject endurers of
oppression and injustice that the world
has ever seen" 1t is true that they
boast about what they will do" and
it is too often the case that they take
it out IN boasting." It, is likewise
true that mo European nation would
have endured for a month the inso-
lence and arrogance which the Amer
ican people have meekly submitted to
at the hands of the coal trust for six
positions which the American people
have submitted to at the hands of va
rious other trusts for many times six
months.
1t is the duty of the men who rec
ognize these evils, and understand
what they mean for this people in the
future. to present them to the people,
and to plead with the people to stand
up for their own rights, and even
though many are so blind that they
will not see, and they reject the good
advice, the duty yet devolves upon
those who do see to continue the good
work.
One week from today the people will
again assemble at the ballot box. A
Republican victory means an indorse-
ment of Republican policies. An in
dorsement of Republican policies
means a continuation of the policy of
hypocrisy on the trust question and
on other issues vitality affecting the
people. A Republican victory means
that the trusts will feel more secure,
and will be encouraged to continue
their impositions upon the people.
Prior to the 1900 Presidential elec-
ton the Republican party was con-
fronted with a great coal strike, and
that strike was settled just in time to
save the Republican party from defeat.
But soon after the Republican victory
had been won, the workingmen found
it necessary to again resort to strike
in order to obtain justice; and now,
no doubt for political reasons, a COM
mission of arbitration is at work try
ing to adjust the strike which has been
devastating the country, because of
the greed and arrogance of the coal
barons, for six months past We are
now to be told to keep on letting we'll
enough alone" We are now to be
urged to trust the Republican party, a
party that obtains it's campaign funds
from the trusts, to deal with the trust
question and to protect the people
from trust imposition. Will the peo-
pie submit?
Let us hope that they will not SUBJ
nit; but nothing is to be gained by
flattery. The situation with which
the American people are confronted is
altogether too serious for fiattery The
cold, brutal truth must be pressed up
on the people, and they must be urged
to stand up for their rights. If they
do not stand up for their rights, they
may depend upon it that conditions will
grow worse and worse with every Re-
publican victory which they permit;
and when conditions do grow worse,
the people who give their confidence to
the Republican party will be RESPONSE
Bile for the evils, and the time will
come when they will find the chains
so firmly riveted upon them that they
will not be able to liberate themselves
by the ballot. which today is the effect
i've weapon within their reach, a
weapon with which the trusts may be
driven from control of the govern
ment and the exactions under which
the people suffer summarily abolished

The Democrats of Oklahoma and
New Mexico are in the same box as
the Republicans of Arizona They
know that in order to insure the pass
age of the Statehood bill the condi-
tions that existed when the compro-
mise was made must be maintained.
The Oklahoma Democrats are organiz-
ing hunting parties for election day,
and the New Mexican Democrats will
just stand aside and smile while the
Republicans are voting for Rodey
The Democrats of New Mexico and Ok
lahoma are practical men. They give
much better evidence of fidelity to
Statehood than do the Arizona Repub-
licans, The Arizona Republicans are
chauvinists.

HIS BOAT EXPLODED.
Irwin Pribble is Seriously In
jured Today.

Irwin Pribble, the superintendent OF
the sand dredging works Of the Wear
Coal company, is lying at Stormo2t
hospital IN dangerous condition, where
he underwent an operation today on ac-
count Of injuries received by the ex-
plosion of the boiler of his naphtha
launch.
Mr. Pribble, in company with Monty
Gregg, was fishing on the Kaw river in
Mr. Pribble's little naphtha, launch when
the accident occurred. Mr. Gregg was
from the boiler. and consequently es-
capped without injuries. Both men were
thrown into the water, and on account
OF the confusion attendant on the ex-
plosion, Mr.. Gregg had much difficulty
IN assisting the injured man to the
shore. Not much could be learned of
the accident. The attendants at Stor-
mont hospital refused to state what the
injuries were, although it is known that
an operation was necesSitated. 1t is said
MT. Pribble will lose the use of one eye.
