ID seemed IMPOSSIBLE to arouse an,

it seemed impossible to arouse any
enthusiasm. This year the conditions
are even worse and the party managers
do not know what to think of the sit
uation. Every known means has been
Utilized to arouse enthusiasm this fall
but without success. The people
seem utterly oblivious to the import
ance of the election and the real situa-
tion. They have no time for anything
but business, and the fear is that they
will not take time to vote. The
people are not discussing any of the
issues that are impending. 1t is true
that the issues this year are not
numerous The Democrats are object.
ing TO the general state of things In
their state platform they say that
'they find many things that ought tc
be changed :" If the Republicans OF
Iowa would read this sentence over q
few times and think for moment Of
how the Democrats changed things
when they had an opportunity there
would be less apathy.

Multitudes are singing the praises
of Kodol, the new discovery which is
making so many sick people we'll and
weak people strong by digesting what
they eat, by cleansing and sweetning

food into the kind of pure, rich, red

Old campaigners say that they do not

1t will take very graceful and
plausible Democratic oratory 10 con-
vince any great number of the people
that they are not better off than t. ey
were before, to say nothing Of their
condition during the Democratic low
tariff era of 1S93-lS96. Over million
people have savings bank accounts TO
their credit who had no accounts five
years ago. One of the questions fer
the voters to decide is whether they
shall keep them and add to them OF
whether they shall lose them.

FAST RAILWAY TRAVEL.


 When the Pennsylvania tunnel is fin ishcd passenger cars between New York and Philadelphia will move regu- larly from the station on Manhattan island to Broad street, at the foot of the colossal statute of William Penn, in ninety minutes, and trains to Balti- more and Washington will travel at equal speed. Our famous Empire State Express has made Buffalo a near neigh bor of this capital, and travellers are now hurried from New York to Chi cagO in twenty hours, and from New York to New Orleans in thirty three. In q few years, at most, passengers will be carried from Forty-second street, on this island, to the big union station in considerably less than five hours. and the swiftest journeys from the Atlantic to the Pacific on systematic schedules may be brought within the compass of three days.
 The plans Of the captains of trans pOrtation are worthy of the develop ments of this republic and of the prog ress already made and sure to be ac- celerated hereafter on American rail- ways. The new century has come in with a rush, and the pace already set in every field of activity in the United States is nothing short of prodigious How marvellous the triumphs already achieved in the hastening of passeng- CTS and freight hundreds and thousands Of miles, to even remote recesses of the union, with a velocity which fifty years ago was never dreamed of or was con sideIed beyond the uttermost limits of human endeayor! The genius which has been applied t6 the bettegment of condi- tions of traffic, to the advances in ma chinery, methods and roadways, may well make the world stare And these exploits promote harmony and unity and friendliness in every quarter of the land, more cordial sympathies. a wei come increase cf fellow feeling and good will. Maine is closer to Texas. Massachusetts to Oregon, Pennsylvania to New Mexico. the east to the wes-. the north to the south. the Adirondacks to the Rockies and the Sierras, fo. these triumphs Of our railroads.

ARIZONA FEDERATION
Convention of Women's Clubs Now in
 Session in Prescott.

The Arizona Federation of Women's clubs met yesterday in Prescott in an nual convention with the president, Mrs. A J. McClatchie of Phoenix. pre- siding. The following greeting to. the federation was delivered by Mrs. H. F. Robinson of this city:
 Madam president and lidies of the Arizona Federation of Woman's clubs: The woman suffrage associa ton of Ari- zona sends you greeting. We greet and thank you for the work that has been done in every part of our country by the great organization of which you are a unit.
 We thank you for the improved school opportunities which hundreds of thousands of children enjoy. We thank you for the many pleasure grounds and green places in the earth where before were the crowded agencies of commer- cialism. We thank you for the areas refOrested; for the landmarks preserved for the libraries founded, for the fac tory laws enacted, for the juvenile of lenders rescued from an education of crime, and for the very many other deeds of true and practical statesman ship, which have been effected by your organization.
 We greet and thank you in the names of our mutual friends, whose names have become household words where ever the welfare and development Of
Arizona republican., 1902-11-20

the race are dear to the hearts of men and women; the names of Jane Ad- dams, Florence Kelly, Edna Vance Cheney, and Julia Ward Howe.
 We tell you that we share your hopes, your faith and your aspirations.
 We tell you that you are the herald of a new day, that through you, woman is exchanging the position of Q more or less disinterested observer of the worlds pageant, for a wholesome, liv- ing, moving part in the progress toward a higher ideal.
 It has been said that the first object of a republican form of government is not the attainment of good government but the development of the individual man through responsibility. We have seen in recent times in our own coun- try, how the responsibility of the in dividual has made our soldiers the best in the world. Our soldiers have proven to the world that the best soldier is the man who thinks for himself. who glasps the broad plan of action, who can be his own captain and his own sergeant if necessary.
 Woman now feels a strong inward need for the same development through responsibility The proportion of her native power is driving her to take up questions and to investigate problems which can not fail to make her broad. to make her strong, to make her brave. to it her to be her own captain and her own sergeant if necessary.
 The woman's suffrage association CCngratulates you that you have taken up the problems of your time and place highly that What thou wouldst highly, that wouldst thou holily." We con- graduate you that your first question ha. not been, What are the spoils;" that your motto has not been, "To the victor belong the spells" Your ambi- tion has been to be, and to do. not to have or to get. Your effort is to make the conditions of life less hard for some, to make effort more profitable for ell, and to secure to all the best that can be had for any.
 The w. s. A. believe in you: they pray for your prosperity and success. They know that your labors will never be less worthy, nor your aim less high.
 You and we are fighting the same battle; we are waginS the same high strife.
 
 enc wing. they are preparing us all for larger interests and endeavor. The de- partment clubs of civics, education and science are coming gallantly into action on the other side of the field; and the woman's suffrage clubs gre standing in the middle and taking the heavy blows.
 People are, at last, understanding you. Even the funny paragraph little man does not mean it when he says that your husband sits at hQyne. darn ing his socks. But it does seem as If we should never be understood. We are still assured with much earnestness that our skirt and waist do not meet in the back, whereas you can see very plainly that it is not true.
 We are accused of @ mad determina- tion and a resolute endeavor to turn the world upside down, whereas, our aim and wish is simply to put into your hands the weapon with which to cOnsummate your present labors.
 We bespeak your prayers.
 Again. we bring you good will in its every form and guise.
