NO CAUSE FOR ALARM.

MT. Bailey, general counsel for the Development Company of Amercia, which company is interested in sever al large enterprises in Arizona and Sonora, views with alarm" the recent utterances of the democratic party in Arizona.
 MT. Bailey is quoted in the Phoenix Republican as follows:
 Such legislation" said Mir Bailey, 'as has been suggested by the demo- cratic platform is not democratic. Pa ternalism has never been the policy of the democratic party, nor interference with people in the management of their affairs. Our company everywhere is paying the highest wages and is taking the best possible care Of it's men and It desires that the conduct of it's busi- ness should be left in its own hands. This is new country. Much of it's future depends upon the investor, but investments will be discouraged by un- wise restrictive legislation. This is a
 
 new and undeveloped country, and cor ditions which obtain here are quite diff ferent from those in the east Legis- lation which might be enacted for the regulation of say the N. Y. Central. would be ruinous to railroad in Ari- zona. Our future course here will have to be determined by the treatment we receive"
 Mir. Bailey is the paid attorney of the American Development company. and his duties are to protect their in terests and to defeat those measures that would tend to increase their tax ation. Any law proposed to be enact ed along this line is bad in the eyes of MT. Bailey. He has been schooled in the art of protecting corporate in- terests and sets up an imaginary scare crow when he arrives at the conclu- sion that the attitude of the democrat ic party in Arizona will tend to drive capital from our midst.
 The platform of the democratic par ty in Arizona Is no new departure from it's principles. True, 1t was framed in the interests of the whole people of the territory and not in the Interest of any corporation. and every

LET US HOPE
 FOR THE BEST.

There is cause for national satis- fation in the announcement that Pres ident Roosevelt has given to the Anti Imperialistic party a definite promise which amounts to an offer of independ- nece to the rnlippines as soon as the people of those islands are capable or self-government.
 Such action would be genuinely American in spirit and would prove to the world that we are still faithful to American principles. While it is true that the President cannot pledge this government to hard and fast policy. it is also true that he can do much to bring about the fulfillment of the personal promise which he is said to have given.
 For this reason the news sent out from antiimperialistic headquarters at Boston warrants the hope that an American solution of the Philippines problem may yet be reached.
 Tn the event Ol dD cal hCSL uN'Ni hi' nation to deal fairly with the Philip pines, it will then rest with that peo- ple to attain national independence in the not remote future. They should be stimulated to the utmost effort to fit themselves for self-government. The American civil government under Governor Taft's administration will be a valuable object lesson to this end Friendships with the Americans en- deavoring to assist them towards inde- pendence will give increased opportun- ity for study of the things which a self-goyerning people must know
 It is to be hoped alike that Presi- dent Roosevelt proposes to extend in dependence to the Philippines and that the Fillipinos shall make them selves worthy of the blessings thus to be conferred.

Secretary Shaws admission that the republican party fears to attempt the task of tariff revision, appreheI sive tha. in such an event the entire stru -. ure would collapse, should convince American voters sf the folly of hoping for relief by means of the republican action. The real truth of the situation is that the republican party not only fears to tinker with the tariff" for this reason, but it dares not go con- trary to the will of the trusts. The whole fabric of monopoly rests upon the Dingley tariff and monopoly is in control of the republican organization. The people of this country must of necessity look to the democratic party for a revision of the tariff in their in terests.

Tthe question has been raised in connection with the county seat peti- tion. which is being circulated, wheth- CT or not the Copper Queen Consolida- ted Mining company can sign the pc tition The statutes say that the coun- y seat petition must contain the names of qualified electors and thesa electors must represent one-third of the assessable property of the county. The question naturally arises, is the Copper Queen Consolidated Mining company, or any other mining compa- ny in Arizona an elector?

Our dispatches yesterday morning bring the announcement that the big coal strike in Pennsylvania is still un- changed. There can be no arbitra- tion," says the coal operators. The strikers are willing to go before any tribunal and submit their case, which proves to the American people the justice of their demands. Unless an amicable agreement is reached within . few days the state of Pennsylvania will take . hand.

TARIFF REVISION AND THE TRUSTS.

Successful republican opposition to the Cuban reciprocity bill in the last session of congress was based on the expressed belief that the removal of duties from Cuban products would con stitute a dangerous tinkering with the tariff and must. therefore. be prevent ed as a menace to the principle of high protection.
 The majority party in congress knew that public sentiment favored the establishment Of reciprocal rela- tions with Cuba. and that we were virtually pledged to that action. But the monopoly trust influence was too strong to be resisted by republican majority. The trusts demanded the defeat of the Cuban reciprocity bill. and that bill was defeated in obedi- ence to the will of the great corpora tics.
 In like manner will the trusts exert all their power to prevent a revision of the Dingley tariff in the inerests of the American people. That they can absolutely dictate to the republican party on this issue is the undoubted and undeniable truth. With this own ership of the republican organization the trusts will, in the campaign of of ry to defeat the will of the people in re- gard to tariff revision by encompassing the defeat of the democratic party at the polls They will see to it that the republican campaign slush fund is am pie to the extent of millions. They will strive to influence the votes of trust employees in behalf of republican candidates. They will leave nothing undone to keep the republican party in control in the government, because this will mean trust control of the govern ment and the maintenance of the Ding ley tariff. They realize that the public sentiment against the tariff and the trusts have been aroused to point where the latter must make the fight of their lives to retain the monopolies made possible by the tariff.
 American voters must keep these truths in mind The dominant issue of the campaign of this year and that of 1904 will be the tariff and the trusts A revision of the tariff means richer opportunities and a lessened cost Of living for the masses. It means as we'll the elimination of the evil con tained in the trust system. The demo cratic party is the party of tariff revis- ion. The republican party stands for the high tariff and the trusts. The American people should gain relief from tariff burdens and trust oppres sions by voting the democratic party into control of the government.

A GREAT SCHOOL.

In this issue of the CENSOR Mr.. To-
land announces the mid-winter term of
the famous Wisconsin Business Univer
sity of La Crosse. The school that has
revolutionized business college methods
and whose work has already become q
part of the history of the great north
west. Ten years ago, when Mr.. Toland
first began advertising in this county,
the Wisconsin Business University was
a small unknown school and few of our
young people then attended it. Today
1t is the largest school of its kind in the
northwest and our young people who
desire practical education would not
think of going TO any other school, as
they have learned from experience that,
although the graduates of other busi-
ness schools are occupying cheap, unde-
sirable positions, Toland's graduates are
always in demand at good salaries.
How many boys and girls from this
county Mr.. Toland has educate1 and
sent to fast class positions, the CENSOR
does not knew, but il does know that 1t
has yet to learn that the first student
who ATTENDED ane Wisconsin Business
University and excelled In his work,
that has not had good success.
Mr.. Toland does not agree TO furnish
positions for his graduates, but the fact
that the demand Is always in excess OF
the supply should satisfy that no one
who attends the University and excells
in his work, will long remain idle, and
we believe that no young man or woman
can start the new year better, or make
better investment of time and money
than by attending the Wisconsin Busi
ness University.

Drivers on our rural mail routes ask

stamps on their letters before placing
them in the boxes During the winter
season especially, 1t is inconvenient to
pick change out Of mail boxes, and it is
because of this shat the request is made.
Stamps can always be procured Of the
messengers. The law governing rural
service requires that patrons shall keep
their boxes free from snow and also
cleared away from boxes, 50 drivers can
get close to boxes without plunging
through snow drifts.

PAID Dearly 70, their Violation.

In the liquor cases lad before Justice
Stoddard during the last week there
we've three convictions, two of the par
ties pay fines of $50 each, and the cost of
$50 each, and one took Jail sentence OF
80 days; these cases came from the town
of Hillsboro and were the results of a
keg of beer at dance in that neighbor-
hood last October. 1t seemed that some
parties there have custom of bringing
liquor to the social parties held in the
nsighborhood and more or less trouble
has come from it here 6ofore. 1t is to be
hoped that this may have a good in
fuence. Ontario Observer
