Always excepting those few people


 who bySnature consistently take a
 gloomy view of all the THE affairs of life-a class of CHEERFUL which every community OUTLOOK has it's share--the peo-
 ple of Central Arizona find abundant reason for being pleased with the business outlook. The cons struction of new railroads and the stor- age of water for irrigation, both mat ters of the near future, immeasureably offset all temporary causes for dis couragement. It is true that the water in the rivers is unusually low. but this very fact has caused a general aban- donment of fads and visionary schemes. and is causing the people of the Salt River valley to come together on prac- tical lines for speedily ending all difti- culty as to the shortage of water.
 Hardly less important than the sub stantial certainty of a water supply which will transform the valley and make is the most populous. prosperous and wealthy agricultural region in the world, will be the construction of the new railroad from Phoenix to Benson. This is an enterprise which is so far reaching in importance that the best informed citizens scarcely comprehend its general bearing. The public at large perceives in but remote sense the Influence which this road is bound to have in promoting the prosperity of Phoenix and the valley. Upon the com pletion of the road Phoenix will cease to be an interior town. and will be on a transcontinental highway. The merchants of the city and the ranch men of the valley will find that q new territory has been opened to them, the value of which it would be difficult to overestimate. Indeed. the potential wealth of the country lying between Phoenix and Benson-a country much of which is wholly isolated by lacka of railway facilities is something which would require large space merely to mention in outline. Its possibilities are recognized by but few,s even among the oldest residents of the valley.
 The special correspondence which The Republican has been printing lately concering the region to be served | story. Great mines. one after another. are lying practically idle, waiting for the coming of a railroad. So far as distance is concerned. these mines are at the doors of the valley. The mineral districts which will be developed will draw heavily and permanently upon the products of the valley and upon supplies from our merchants. As has been pointed out in the correspondence referred to-. there are great cattle ranges which will furnish thousands of feeders for the valleys alfalfa fields. If there has been any reason whatever for supposins that water storage would create an overproduction of agricult- ural products except al prices only moderately renunerative. the new road will settle the question For all time there will be a nearby market at good pricesfor everything that can be raised.

THE BOER WAR.

How very Inconsistent are the preach
ers and other ardent BOer sympathizers
who insist that Col. Roosevelt III his
capacity of President of the United
States could stop the war in South
Africa if he would Mr.. Roosevelt is
a kinsman by blood of the Transvaal
fighters and no doubt his personal
sympathy for their cause is as strong
as that of anybody i'll this country,
but when it comes 70 taking official
action III the case another question
is involved.
The United States like all other ma
this trouble between the Beers and
England, as England did when Amer
lea was having a disturbance with
Spain few years ago n would be
violating the most sacred of obliga-
tions, an international agreement,
should this country take sides with
the Beers now If there was any hon
orable way to help the struggling
Dutch of South Africa to maintain
their independence there is little
doubt but President Roosevelt would
strain every point to do so and give
what aid and comfort he could in bat
thing with their enemy, Great Britain.
But how can it be done honorably +?
Those who criticise the President for
not acting in the matter are decidedly
unjust. None of them would dare do
it were they in his place, for if such
step were taken, complications would
arise that could not help plunging this
country into bloody war with Eng
land, and possibly this might extend
so as to involve all the countries of
the globe. 1t is easy for preachers,
mugwump orators and sensational lee
turers to get up in public and say that
the United States should take a hand
in this matter, but they take no ac'
count of the danger i'll which such q
step would place this country.

\ COINCIDENCE?

A curious feature of the campaign
is the hesitation of the Proctor man
ayers in trusting the Vermont public.
Two weeks ago the hackers of Proc
tor held a bedroom caucus at the Wal
dorf Astoria, New York After it
was over they came home and the
Proctor boom was promulgated. Last
Thursday, Speaker Proctor, ex-Lieu-
tenant Gov. Fiske, Olin Merrill, Col
T. @. Fletcher and several others met
at the Touraine-the Wa ldorf Astoria
of Boston-and considered the cam
paign and the plans agreed on will
doubtless be heard from directly. At
the same time the Mccullough man
ayers were meeting in a public man
ner at Burlington, taking the public
into their confidence and not seeking
to hide their movements. -Bennington

WEBB FORCES.

\ despatch sent out from Bellows
Falls Thursday evening, says general
auvass of Windham county carefully
made shows that the Proctor move
ment meets with very little favor.
This developed at meeting of McCul-
Tough lieutenants held there Thursday
evening. The canvass was thorough
ly gone over and the situation war
rants the positive statement that Gen.
Mccullough will have practically q
solid delegation from the county.
Previous to DR.. Webbs withdrawal
an undercurrent existed in his favor,
strong enough in some of the smaller
towns to have won out, but little of
his strength has been turned to Mr..
Proctor in spite of the strenuous
efforts of the Proctor lieutenants. AS
it now stands III the county, Brattle-
boro is the only debatable ground and
even there the chances favor Gen
Mccullough. In Bellows Falls, per-
haps the most important town in the
county from a political standpoint,
owing to local conditions, DR.. Webb
had a strong following and prepare
lions were made for q vigorous cam
paign. This following has gone over
to Gen. Mccullough bodily and there
will be no opposition to Mccullough
delegation from here.
EX-Gov. G. S. Page of Hyde Park
authorizes the statement that he is
ready to actively support Gen. Nc
Cullough. Gov. Page says Lamoille
county is overwhelmingly for the Ben
ningon candidate.

In ninety-nine cases in hundred indlges-
tion is due to lack Of some of the elements
which constitute the natural digestive
rio acid from the stomach. 1t is by the ac-
tion Of these juices that food is reduced to
a form in which 1t can be transformed into
living tissue. With any Of them lacking it
is easy to see that the process of digestion
cannot be perfectly performed.
With the single exception Of Kodol Dys-
pepsia Cure all preparations for the relief Of
indigestion lack certain Of these elements.
Consequently they cannot digest all classes
Of food. Kodol Dyspepsia Cure contains
them all. 1t will digest anything that the
healthy stomach can digest. It's natures
own cure
Don't resort to stimulating tonics. Such
drugs simply urge the already overworked

Cures all stomach troubles

Speaker of the House of Representa-
tives United States Senator and Sec
rotary of War
If the landslide, which the Brattle-
boro Phoenix. Windsor Journal and
Randolph Herald were sure would at
tend the consent of Fletcher Proctor
to allowing the use of his name, has
put III an appearance in this southeast
corner of the State, the course of that
landslide northWard has been so slow

We use the words unusual haste. "
Col Proctor is forty-one years old.
The people of Vermont will scan the
records in vain to find a single instance
in the history of our State for the past
third of a century in which citizen
of that age has been elected to the
executive Office. Senator Proctor has
stated in the past that his son would
not be a candidate for the governor
ship while he was in the Senate, as it
would be asking too much of the State
to place the two highest honors at the
same time in his family. Why this
change of base now?
Col. Proctor has made mistake and
we believe that his more judicious
and level headed friends are so III
forming him in such liberal numbers
that he will see that the sense of fair
play has been shocked by his entrance
III the field at this late day, after hav-
ing given repeated assurances that he
would not be candidate, and predic-
tons are not wanting that the level
head of the father will discern the
signs of the times and advise his son
to withdraw from contest which the
Colonel's more enthusiastic yet over
Jealous friends have unwisely urged
him to enter.
There is no doubt that Col. Proctor
would make good Governor-that is
not the question to be considered al
this time But rather, is it right al
this time, under the existing circum
stances, to turn down the broad mind

Dys pepsia Cure

Starvation seems strange remedy for any
disease. Yet starvation by rigorous diet
was once generally resorted to in cases Of
Indigestion or other stomach trouble. Even
yet it is sometimes tried. Such a
remedy is worse than useless. Every
day of life consumes portion of the tissues
CT the human body. The food we eat serves
to repair this waste and you can't build up
the system by Withholding material for the
purpose II tne stomach Is IN such condl-
be performed without the stomach's assist
ance. Kodol Dyspepsia Cure is the only
preparation which accomplishes this. There
are Others which act on certain kinds of
food, but Kodol Dyspepsia Cure is the only
one which digests them all as the stomach
digests them. Man is so constituted that
be needs variety Of food and to reduce this
variety always produces bad results.

A KNIGHT IN LIMBO.

The Messenger is fiattered to learn
from its esteemed contemporary, the
Montpelier Journal, that its pro-
nouncement on the canvass for the
Republican nomination for Governor
is being anxiously awaited by breath
less public. OF course, as might be
expected under the circumstances,
there is vein of ill-disguised satire
and cynicism running through the
Journals observation that might
wound more sensitive spirits than the
Messenger pretends to possess. 1t is
painfully clear that, if the anXiously
expected deliverance of the Messenger
proves to be contrary to the we'll
known opinions of the Journal, then
this paper can be nothing more nor
less than a hypocrite and sham.
There is delicious touch of fOreor
dination and predestination about The
Journals political orthodoxy that APP
peals to the imagination. Meanwhile,
| however, the Journal is cordially re-
minded that The Messenger is being
edited principally in st. Adams, this
State, and that it will express its mind
on this subject when it gets around
to it.-St. Adams Messenger.
The Messenger concludes with a
story of Gen. Sherman, designed to
illustrate and enforce its purpose to
debouch upon the field of Vermont
politics when and for whom eve
d please. Well, then, a breathlesS
public will have to be content with
abstract editorial disquisition till its
blankety- blank spirit moves the Mes
senger to speak, Incidentally the
Journal regrets that the contempor
ary's inner consciousness is not devils
ing a self-respecting opinion Of it,
evident commitment to the wrong
side in the pending contest.
A story of Lincoln, rather than the
Sherman anecdote, seems to have thu

THE GOVERNORSHIP.

Last September when the elements
in the gubernatorial canvass began to
take form, the Boston Globe printed
three-column article on Vermont
politics. 1t was i'll the main Il com
prehenSiVe review and attracted no
little attention throughout the State,
as the writer had more than a superb
cial knowledge of the situation. His
forecast was in effect that DR.. Webb
and Gen. Mccullough would have the
field to themselves. Fletcher Proc
tors case was disposed of by the Globe
writer in this way:
Some time ago, and before eX-Gov
Carroll S. Page of Hyde Park had
sought a nomination to Congress in
the First district, Senator Redfeld
Proctor told Mr.. Page that while he
was in the Senate his son Fletcher
would not be candidate for govern
or. at would be asking too much, !"
said the Senator, to expect the two
highest offices III the gift of the State
to go to one family That was some
I years ago, when the Proctor influence,
while very strong, was not so secure
ly intrenched as it appears to be to-
day. 1t is matter of interest
ing speculation i'll certain quarters
whether the father can still feel as
conscientious about the passing around
of honors Fletcher Proctor is placed
! III a hard position. His fathers term
as Senator expires i'll 1905, and al
though he will then be seventy -four
years old. unless all signs fail, he will
undoubtedly be a candidate for re-
! election. There may be no opposi-
ton at that time, but if his son should
decide to let Gen. Mccullough and
DR.. Webb fight it out next June and
should then enter the field four years
! hence, about the time when the elder
Proctor was seeking a reelection tC
the Senate, there might a cry of "Too
much PROCTOR go up all over the
State and it might be the means of de-
feating Senator Proctor for reelection
Both the Proctors are too shrewd not
to have figured this out, and that il
where one of the rubs come.
The remark by Senator Proctor tha
while he was in the Senate Fletche,
would not be candidate for Governo
sounds like Proctor in his prime, ant
it was permitted to go unchallenged
This was one reason why the grea
bulk of the voters of the State believ
ed Fletcher Proctor when he said tina
he was not candidate They dic
not realize that there was a power II
this snug little commonwealth which
could at any moment draft Fletche
into the race and ever now they ar
not able to identify that power. 90

AN UPRISING FOR FAIR PLAY.

Four years ago the n Jews and Citizen
earnestly favored the nomination of
Gen. j. G.. Mccullough for Governor.
We said then that in point of ability,
experience and culture he would bring
to the office those qualities that make
a model executive, in greater measure
than any other available candidate
on the west side of the State. The
four years that have interviewed have
emphasized rather than weakened our
estimation of Gen Mccullough and
his fitness for the office
In the interest of harmony, he with
drew from the contest in 1898 While
it is well known that that withdrawal
was after consultation with many
leading Republicans of Vermont, it
may not he as generally known that
among the most prominent of those
who urged his withdrawal, in the in
terest of party harmony, was Senator
kedfield Proctor

facts of McCullough's history, per
sonal and political, and certain events
J of recent occurrence, the cOntempor

can draw their own conclusions as t.
what they mean. But so lar as we are

keener suffering than before.
What the stomach needs is rest. To OBJ
tain 1t a substitute must be found for the
natural digestive juices. Kodol Dyspepsia
Cure is the only substitute which accom-
plishes natures results by natures own
methods 1t gives the stomach perfect rest
by digesting what you eat. No dieting is
necessary. Eat all the good food you want,
build up the system and at the same time
relieve the stomach from all res ponsibility.
The rest will restore 1t to its natural condi-
ton and soon effect a complete cure. This
is the only rational and common sense
method Of aiding nature.
