HOW DOES THIS STRIKE YOU2

Bob Morrison, the Republican
nominee for Congress will soon
como through Graham county ask.
ing the people to vote for him.
Before Il man has the right to ask
people to vote for him he should
give q reason why they should do
so. We don't know ofany reason
why the people here should vote
for Morrison, but there are excel
lent reasons why they should not.
In 1890 Morrison as chairman
Of the committee on platform re.
ported the following resolutions to
the Territorial Republican cOnven-
tion and secured its adoption:
"The history Of the Mormon
church in the United States means
an ecclesiastical control that has
ever been aggressive, eXacting and
tyrannical and whose boast has
ever been that the Mormon church
and people do not and will not
assimilate with the people of our
country; whose domination tenet is
polygamy; whose doctrine is to
Segregote its people from all others
in their affairs; who vote as one
man under the dictation Of it's
priesthood and only for those who
may be used for its base purposes;
that as apeoptc they are uu-Ameri-
can and disloy0l, and for less rea-
sons than these the Chinese bave
been refused citizenship aud are
excluded from our country; that
the Mormon in our midst is con
stautly increasing; that the evil Of
their livess a blot on the good
name andfair and fame of our terri
tory, and that if We allow the vice
to continue, we can hope to harvest
from this vice only evil; and there
fore, we the republicans Of Arizona
in convention assembled, do hereby
demand Of congress that before il
adioarns it shall pass the bill now
pending before it, know as an act
for the 'Puritication of elections
in Arizona ,"

now being considered by them,
1t may take several days for the
Board to determine whether or
not it is q competent petition, one
upon which they will be justified
in ordering an election.
The people Of both sides Of the
question have worked hard, the
people Of Stafford to get the neres-
'ary petition, the people Of Solo
knoxville to prevent it, and now
the question is up to the Board
and we believe the election will be
ordered.
1t is to be hoped that the elec-
tion will be ordered so that the
question that has been agitated in
the county for so long may be
finally settled by the voice of the
people,
For ten years county seat re
moval has been agitated and the
Bulletin claims this very agitation
has retarded the growth of the
present county seat. If this is
true, and we have no reason to
doubt it is, ii would be better for
both Solomonville and Stafford and
the county at large, to have the
question settled nj the ballot box,
for we do not believe the people
of this town will be satisfied until
the people have an opportunity of
saying where their county seat
shall be,
To defeat the petition before the
Board at this time cannot possibly
settle the question and for the
sake Of everybody interested it is
to be sincerely hoped that the
question will come to q vote.
Should it do so and the citizens Of
Graham county, by their votes,
say that they are satisfied to allow
the county seat to remain where it
is, we will say amen to the verdict

IT IS UP TO THE BOARD.

That the people of Stafford are
working earnestly for the removal
of the county seat and that a large
majority Of the people of the coun-
ty believe it should be removed to
Stafford is evidenced by the fact
that nine-tenths of the people
whom it was possible to reach
with a petition have signed it and
that it represents several thousand
dollars more taxable property
than the required one-third.
The petition has been presented
TO the Bourd of Supervisors and is

ave hold that the trusts are not
due to the tariff, but they are due
to loose corporation laws, adopted
by Democratic commonwealths,
under which laws creating great
and pernicious combinations of
capital are greatly facilitated.
Thus sayeth the Republican plat
form of Arizona. Such hyprocracy
as the above is hard to surpass.
The Republicans know that under
their protective tariff trusts have
sprung into existence and under
Republican rule have been fostered
and protected. The trusts know
it also, otherwise they would
not fight the revision of the tariff
schedules. The American voters
also know it and when voting time
comes will convince the Republi.
can party that they know it. 1t
took the Arizona Republicans, led
by Oaks Murphy, to manufacture
such an absurd and shallow excuse
as the above for the existence of
trusts.

spends u great deal Of time making
n home for himself. and when he
has it, spends more time investing
excuses to get away from it. He
will raise Il great row at home if
he has been given a spoon that
has been used by one OF the children

will go to a free lunch counter and
shovel sauerkraut into his mouth
with an iron fork that has been

it is foolish to go to circuses, and
then he stands at the railroad

TREES OF 'T]HEE CITY ARE NOW
IN THE GARB OF AUTUMN.

Natures bouquet Is displayed in
Wilmington parks just now in a
gorgeous display Of foliage tinted by
the autumn atmosphere into an array
Of contrasting colors, which give a
wonderful beauty to thel ndscape.
In some places a single tree may
be seenStandin e OUT In bold relief
with It's golden or crimson tinted
foliage contrasting with the emerald
hue, of the grass surrounding it. But
in the m ajorty Of cases the gorge.
ousy tinted trees nestle amid a
cluster of those which yet retaIn
their green foliage or perhaps euctr-
Gle single green leaved tree which
stands out in vivid contrast to rs fel-
lows. Caprice is shown in the deg rec
of colorng and especially is this
true of the naples. Here may stand
a maple In all the fresh greenness Of
early spring, while few yards away
will be another tree of the same va.
riety which has taken on a golden
sheen deepening into crimson and
forming glowing spot Of color In
the landscape.
Probably the most striking of al
the park trees is the dogwood.
Brilliant red and maroon tinted
leaves now thickly cover the ,umbrcl
like branches, which in the ear Y
spring ale the first to set out a boz =
qIet of white blossoms Bright
scarlet berries add to the color of e
trees, lighting up like fre-haml s
when touched by the sunlight A
large number OF dogwoods give
beauty to Brandywine Park.
Closely crowding the dogwood for
the honor of autumnal beauty is the
black haw. A group Of these trees
have been Ilkened by a person Of
artistic temperament TO glowing
bed of Goals. Beneath is the fiery
red Of an Intense heat, darkened on
the outside by purplish hue, derlv-
ed from tie berries which The trees
bear.
LlndenS-the 1lrSt TO assume their
dress Of green in the spring are the
first to feel the touch Of autumn,
and many of them have already
given up their golden tinted leaves
to form rustling carpet in the
parks.
Tall chestnuts show a touch of
gold in their leaves to distinguish
them from greener neighbOrs. Horse
chestnuts have donned a bris sht
yellow autumn dress, while birches
are clad in a ligher yellow for the
nonce. Beech trees show dark
brown leaf, shading to yellow in
some parts of the foliage, giving Il
variegated effect to its leafy dress,
Another striking tree in this park is
the sassafras, which shows at once
the bright green of summer
