Politics.

Some people lament the fact that in ordinary years and when there is no question agitating the public mind, the average man neglects to vote, holding that it is the duty of the citizen to pay great attention to the problem of gov ernment, and he ought, on every occa- sion to turn out and deposit his ballot
 The average citizen, however, is only moved to action when he sees an abuse that needs remedying. When the ma chine of government runs smoothly and without friction he attends to his own business and it makes little differ ence to him who holds the offices, Tom, Dick or Harry. The simple question of putting in one man and putting out another doesn't appeal to him very strongly and he cares very little for it.
 When a great question comes up in- volving a principle, then he is awake

Probate Judge Phillips.

J. C. Phillips has been elected probate judge of Maricopa county after a cam- paign in which he has demonstrated his mettle to the satisfaction of the citi- zens. Everybody took a friendly in terest in giving this honest, frankly poor young man a boost, and nobody will have occasion to regret a vote in his favor.
 This county has had some able pro- bate judges. and the incumbent is q young man of high character and abil- ity, but we predict that Probate Judge Phillips will be the most satisfactory officer that the county ever had in that position.
