John W. McFadden is successful

John W. McFadden is a successful
business man OF long experience. He
has been intimately associated with
the farming classes and knows their
needs and is in sympathy with them.
He is broad-minded in his makeup,
well qualified to perform the duties
of the office, is a clever. courteous,
accommodating gentleman and will
see that the county affairs are cor
rectlyand economically administered.
He will make a presiding Judge OF the
county court equaltoany the county
ever had.
4 report was current on the streets
Monday -to-th. effect thai Judge
Rogers, residing near Pleasant Gap,
a pioneer and one OF the best known
citizens of the southeast part of the
county, was lying at deaths door
with a complication of diseases. His
ndition was SO serious that his
children were notified, and Sunday
NOR ming W. D. Rogers and wife, of
Jefferson City, passed through town
on their way to the old homestead.
The many friends Of the family in
Butler will regret to learn of the
Judges precarious condition.
Judge D. Y. Brown is author of a
history of the McTeear and Brown
families, of which he is a worthy de-
scendant. 1t is well written record
OF 100 pages, illustrated with half
tone photos and accurate as to
ma mes, dates and details. These
were very prominent families in the
DEVELOPMENT of the states of Penn
sylvania aud Ohio, and their progeny
are scattered over the entire union,
nearly all of whom are prosperous,
God-fearing, respectable citizens,
many of them men and women of re-
nown during their day and who have
left their impress on the history of
their country. 1t wasat the expense
OF much labor and pains that Judge
Brown accumulated the great mass
of facts, out of which he constructed
his history. 1t is certainly an inval-
liable record for every living member
of this family. The book was printed
in THE TINES Office, and Judge Brown
carefully read the proofs, thus irsur-
in its accuracy in every detail.

REPUBLICS DON'T PAY TALENT.

American, have always boasted of their resourcefulness, of their ability to meet every emergency. Yet there must be limitations upon that bright intelligence which has been the admiration of the world when our public men confess almost daily that the railroad problem has reached stage at which no solution short of cala mity can be found. Ii there are minds big enough and strong enough to plan colossal com bination-. why should there not be minds capable of devising measures to hold these combinations in check? Is it possible that the best intellects are in the service of the railroads; that the corporations control not only the transportation facilities of the country, but it's brains as well?-Citizen.
 Can it be that the Citizen cannot see why corporations control the brains of the country, and the gov ernment always pits second rate men against talent of the highest order? There is plenty of the very best talent ready and willing to serve the people. But the corpora tions offer princely salaries to such men and gives them permanent positions, while the government doles out meagre pittances, and holds out no inducement to retain capacity in exalted public station. When man has to sacrifice S50,- 900 to $l00.000 per year to accept a cabinet position at SS,OO0, it is too much glory and too little money.

 STANDARD OF CITIZENSHIP.

What we need most in this republic is not special genius, is not unusual brilliancy, but the honest and upright adherence on the part of the masses of the citi- zens and their representatives to the fundamental laws of private and public morality, which are now what they have been during record ed history; and we shall succeed or fail in making this republic what it should be made-I will go a little further than that-what it shall and must be understanding to the manner in which we absolutely set ourselves to the task of citizen ship, which consists in doing the duties, private and public, which in the aggregate make it ."-Presid- ent Roosevelt
 The foregoing recent utterance of President Roosevelt Is very re- freshing reading when one looks about his environment and sizes up the men who aspire to run public affairs and control the destinies of cities, coun- ties and commonwealths. The point to these remarks consists in their application. Just look about and make your own application.

TIE outlook for enactment of the statehood bill by the senate is said 10 have greatly improved. Senators Elkius, Qnay and Pen rose have taken up the measure and are using every endeavor to enlist the aid of other senators, and of the administration. They are reported to have secured d majority of the senate committee on terri tories, who are pledged to call up the bill in the committee at an early day, and vote for favorable report. They have also inter- viewed the president and secured his favorable attention He in- formed the three senators that he desired action upon the bill before congress adjourns If all this be true Arizona is close to statehood

CERTAIN financial and mining journals in the east and elsewhere continue to insist that MT W. c. Greene has let go or is about to let go of his holdings in the big copper mines at La Cananea.

EVER since John c. Calhoun declared in the United States senate that unless his own peculiar ideas prevailed the country would quickly pass through the sue cessive stages of rule by faction, corruption and despotism," the democracy have been always pre- dieting all sorts of dire disaster to the republic Yet Calhoun's dire predictions were never verified, although nis doctrines were rejected. It will be the same way with the prophecies of the present day.

TnE advocacy of adoption of some system in Arizona, whereby the big corporations which have heretofore evaded their just share of public taxation, inaugurated by THE OASIS some months ago, is spreading all over the territory, the newspapers are taking up the issue and urging the matter with all ability.

HAD General Miles been wise he would have done as General Sherman did in 1S77-moved the headquarters of the general of the army to St. Louis and let the war department run it's old army to suit itself. There were nearly ten years in which the general-in-chiei of the United States was in prac- tical retirement. He didn't care. He knew that whenever there should be any real fighting to be done "Old Uncle Billy" would be called to the front while the de- partment clerks would subside.

MINE EXPERTS DISAGREE.

The recent history of the cele- hrated Independence mine at Cripple Creek, Colorado, shows that noted mining experts, with world wide experience and reputa- tions, can disagree as widely as the proyerbial doctors The ln- depence which has been very rich and made millionaire of its dis r-Stratton-has been work ed q number of years, and has long been owned and operated by an English company with it's shares upon the London Mining Stock Exchange. Even while the mine was continuing to pay dividends it was whispered about the world that the great deposit of gold ore was about exhausted and that the property would be soon worked out That report naturally caused some uneasiness among stock holders, and John Hays Ham
 mond. one of the greatest of living authorities, was sent to Colorado to investigate After careful ex- animation of the property, and a thorough study of the ore bodies,
 Mr Hammond reported that there was only three hundred thousand dollars worth of ore in the lnde- pendence mine. Immediately the stock fell to lower prices than ever known before. Then Mir. Daniel McLaren, another famous expert, was sent out; and after an equally careful investigation and study he reported that the value of the ore in sight in the mine is three millions of dollars just ten times what MT. Ham, mond found it. As a result of the report of the latter gentleman the stock went up to four dollars per share in the London market. Those who sold their shares at lower price on faith in MT. Ham mond's report), must now be doing some pretty hard thinking. Of course MT. Hammond can await the result of little time. Ore extraction and the work of the mill, both continuing, will in little time demonstrate which is right-Mr. Hammond or Mir. Me Laren. But in either event expert knowledge in mining of the high est order, will or has caused loss to -confiding investors.

The first necessity of athletics is A
sound stomach. Food is the source OF
all physical strength, but to extract and
assimilate the strength from food requires
that the stomach and other organs of
digestion and nutrition should be in a
condition of good health. What is true
OF the athlete is true of every man and
woman; physical health and vigor de-
pend upon the digestion and assimila-
ton of food
