Home-First and Last.

The town that encourages and fosters home industries is thriving and prosperous It is also a good town in which to locate, and where the people patronize their home merchants and dealers. Every dol lar spent among outside parties that can be spent at home detracts just so much from the prosperity of the town This applies equally to trade and labor. Preference should be given our own tradesmen whenever making purchases of whatever nature, and wherever labor is to be employed our own townsmen should have the prefer ence above others If contracts are to be given our own bidders should have the first consideration. The lowest bid does not always mean the most advantageous contract, especially in dealing with outside parties, as has frequently been demonstrated The money that is earned and spent here is what helps pay the taxes and keeps the wheels of industry constantly revolving Yuma Sentinel.

Will It Hurt hike7

The Western Association of Min CTS, which met at Prescott this week, passed a resolution pledging the members to work against all candidates for office who voted against the eight hour law in the last legislature. This is a blow directed against Charles NJ. Shan non, the democratic candidate for congress
 Those who voted against the eight hour law include William Beard, in the house and in the council; G. P. Blair, of Pinal coun- ty; c. c. Campbell, of Navajo county; c. M. Shannon, of Graham county; C. c. Warner, of Cochise county; Eugene s. Ives, of Yuma county, and M. J. Riordan, of Co., conino county.-Tucson Post.
 Organized labor in Coconino county does not cut much figure that is, there are no charters held within its borders, and few union men, except scattered miners. From present appearances, MT. Riordan will have no trouble in securing the nomination and reelection to the office if he wants it.

The Observations of
Street Car Conductor

There are few persons who have a
better opportunity to study human
nature than the street car conductor
and when one happens to grow remi-
niscent he can tell some curious tales.
~ noticed a story in one of our
newspapers the other day, which had
been reprinted from an English paper,
commenting in glowing terms the cour-
tesy Of American men in public
places" said an N o. I. conductor to
Democrat reporter, the other day.
while this may be true as rule there
are many exceptions and as conduc-
tor l see so many Of the exceptions
that 1 am sometimes inclined to be-
lieve them the rule.
But, hard as the thing is to say,
there is more lack Of courtesy on street
cars shown by women than by men.
Time after time 1 have seen women
enter a crowded car and, instead Of
finding a place to stand comfortably,
look around expectantly for some man
to give up his seat. And though the
woman may be fresh as a daisy in
nine cases out of ten she will accept
the seat of tired working man with
out so much as thank you

which fairly took my breath. 1t was

Found Dead In
the Woods.
Young Man Charged
With Their Murder.
He Was the Last Person Seen
With Them.

Camden, N. j., Oct. 6--Paul Wood
ward, 21 year old, has been formally
charged with the murder of his two
young friends, John Coffin, aged IL,
and Price Jennings, aged Ia, whose
bodies were found in the woods near
the city Saturday. The accusation
does little to clear up the mystery of
violent deaths of the boys. THE chief
evidence against Woodward is that he
was the last person seen with the lads.
The only motive that the police can
give for the crime is either a morbid
love of killing, or n desire to rob.
The authorities now believe that the
boys met their deaths either by poison
or by strangling. A chemical analysis,
which will be completed Tuesday, will
answer the question of poisoning.
The autopsy revealed marks Of vio-
lence on Coflin's body. There were
bruises, possibly finger marks, on the
little fellows neck, indicating that he
had been strangled. Jennings body
showed no such marks. A vial OF
chocolate colored tablets found In
Woodward's pocket is being chemically
analyzed.
Woodward lived with his mother, a
widow, at No. 221 Barrson street. He
had no regular employment but for
several years has worked at odd jobs
on Camden farms. He first met young
Coffin when he worked on Major Cof-
fms farm last summer. The little
chap seemed to be fascinated by him
and was often with him.

on a Barberton car, and about $50
d. M. The car, an open one, was
crowded. and in seat at the very
front, were five working men, some of
whom were no longer young. At one of
the stops were three young aud bloom
ing girls-girls In whom from their
appearance and dress one would expect
refinement and delicacy of feeling.
One of the girls found seat at the
rear and the others started toward the
front of the car. The girl with the sea
green eyes, aud daisies in her hat,
spied the seat full of working men and
was up in jiffy.
"Ahy room there?' asked the brown
haired miss.
"Yes, lots of it, responded she of
the sea green eyes, and then in the
coolest manner and with an impudence
I never saw edualed, they took po-
session Of the front seat and before
they knew what had happened, two
of the working men were out of their
seats and hanging to the running board
Of the car.
"a young man who had been casting
some admirlng glances at the girl with
the daisies here turned with look Of
disgust and directed his gaze to the
landscape during the remainder Of the
trip"

The thieves secured 300 pennies, 80
