Selections.


Our country's voice is pleading,
Ye men of God, arise.
His providence is leading,
The land before you lies;
Day-gleams are DER 1t Frightening,
And promise clothes the soil;
Wide field, for harvest, whitening,
Invites the reaper's toll.
If the Chinese that are in New York
or San Francisco had stayed at home,
we should have felt it our duty to send
the gospel to them. How much easier
1t Is to give them the gospel now they
have come to us. And is 1t not quite
as important?
There is hardly country of the
globe that is not represented in this
land of ours, and whose representa-,
tives may not be reached by earnest,
loving, consecrated Christian workers.
1t Is surely no longer necessary for US
to go away from our own land to be-
come essentially foreign missionaries.
"Our land for Christ" we cry,
We lift this banner high;
In God our strength.
Oh that his story, told
BY champions firm and bold.
Would bring within the fold
All lands at length.
Suggested Hymns.
Jesus saves. o blessed story.
Ho! reapers Of hfes harvest.
Sowing in the morning.
My country, It's of thee.
Stand up, stand up for Jesus.
Work, for the night is coming.

Lesson Thoughts.

Our land, from the very beginning Of
It's history, has been the refuge for
the stranger; today the stranger con.

bers to our shores. 1t is our pre.emin.
ent duty to make America a Christian

Here more than in any other land.
perhaps, home mission work pays large
dividends to the general cause OF
Christ. Every stranger won to Chris.

missionary to his own home land.

REPUBLICAN CITY PLATFORM

We believe that a city e n be like ned to an individual in that those things that will administer 10 adn fos- ter the success of the enc will ad- minister to and foster the success of the other. In proportion as the individual is indolent. content and timid, he remains where he is and cannot advance, and so it is with a city. Unless il be energetic, ambiti- ous. watchful and courageous, it can not hope for growth, for prosperity nor for advancement
 What our city is. what is has been, and what it might be made are each lessons which can be learned by all who will take the trouble to study them.
 It is not the intention of the Repub. lican Party to allow the city to re- main as it is. We insist that it is true policy of Tucson that it shall be kept awake and that it shall continue intelligent and vigorous work and faith fully and courageously prosecute it to an end.
 This work consists in supplying the city plentifully with pure water: pro- Nidlng complete system of sewers: sprinkling of graded streets: beautify ing parks: installing fire alarm system better equipment and maintainence of fire department: and increase in street cleaning department: and each and eF- cry other thing conducive to the wei fare of our city and of it's people. in cluding encouragement 70 capital to invest money in manufactures. smelt- CTS. electric street car systems and ali progressive industries.
 We do not believe in. nor will we countenance. the expenditure of money save to the extent that the same is prudently and necessarily demanded by the work outlined herein when prudently. economically and honestly earned.
 In this connection we feel constrain. cd to congratulate the people upon the commencement and prosecution of this work by the present Republi- can City Administrations. We heartl ly endorse their actions and pledge our nominees to a continuance there . of
 Because of the matters and things herein outlined We ask all electors who hope for the prosperity of Tue son, who wish to make it city. and who are in favor of an enterprising and prosreesive policy to unite with us in the sTpport of this platform and of our entire ticket.
Bisbee daily review., 1903-11-19

There is no use of going into an argument All we want the voters to do is reflect. Just go to the corner of Congress street and Stone Ave and look up and down the two beautiful thoroughfares. Just take walk over the Military Plaza and look at the beautiful buildings rected there within the last five years. Refict on the miles of city sewerage pipe laid and in use. Think of the miles of water pipe laid and in use. Look at the miles and miles of well graded streets and then acknowledge that you are largely indebted to Mayor Schumacher for all this. Think of how little it has cost to do all this in comparison to the value returned for money expended. Stand on the corner of Church and Congress and look east and enjoy the sight of one of the most beautiful streets to be found anywhere in any city of the size of tn city of Tucson. Look west and see the old Wedge that will disappear within a few months if you will strengthen the hand of Mayor Schum- acher by electing the Republican coun- cilmen on Monday To whom are you

 has nothing to be sorry for. They have been hampered for lack of funds

 The other resource of the city for improvements, that of mere income, in the shape of taxes. is likewise pre- CIuueu, tut OElN OHc dollar on the s100 assessed valuation is cOllectible. The remedy is with the Legislature, and if any set of men in Tucson is aware of the needs of an amended charter, it is certainly the present administration and the Repub lican nominees. Mir Reid being part of the administration. MT. Pusch. former Councilman. and MT Schole- field, who is well posted on city affairs Messrs. Duffy, Griffith and Francis may be very influential citizens but they hardly appear influential enough at the present writing to secure a special session of the Legislature for the purpose of giving us a suitable charter.
 Let all prejudice be laid aside :n this matter. The Republican admins tration has rendered a good steward ship. both in making improvements ard providing the wherew:thal to pa for same. They have been cOnserva- tive. They have given the taxpayers their moneys worth. md have fur nished more employment for the lab bring men of Tucson than any other institution here except the railroad. The Republican candidates, Messrs. Scholefield, Reid and Pusch are safe and trustworthy. and the voters can do no better than to endorse the ad- r inistration by voting under the flag.

How many of the so called acts of eXtravagance of the Republican ad- ministration did Barklcy and Contzen. the Democratic cOuncilmen, vote for. An investigation will show that the two Democratic councilmen stood right in line with Mayor Schu- macher and the Republicans majority and voted for all these measures which the kickers call extravagant but which have resulted in graded streets. a sewer system, electric lights. bet ter water service and many other im- provements.

If they put fine on immortality and collect that fine, they are in partner ship with prostitutes" If they lie ense gambling and collect that licen- SC, they are allying themselves with vice. If they bring suits for condem nation of wedges, and fight the cases through the hard devious ways of the courts with their City Attorney on a basis of an extra $50 per month for the period of such contests. a reduction oi his salary is advocated. The city phy- sician had his salary reduced from s100 a month in times of smallpox epidemic to the more economical basis of slo month, epidemic or no epi- demic. and still more cutting is urged. If they fight out an economy on hall the price the county is paying for advertising. a disappointed newspaper calls them "srafters."
 Pleasing the Democratic party in Tucson therefore becomes a task that is hopeless The administration is damned if they do, and damned if they don't" Yet the Democratic platform proposes to throw conserva- tism to the winds and create new eX penses. regardless of where the mon- ey is coming from to pay for it; not only this, but in the next dip of the pen they propose 10 cut of 10 to % per cent of the revenues of the city
 The city needs a new fire alarm sys- tenn. We admit it. But where is the money coming from to pay for it? The present charter precludes an as sessment beyond one dollar on the S100 valuation. and there you are. Do they propose that MT. Martin Duff fly shall go down in his pockets and buy new fire alarm system? Or urge that he is business man enough to provide through the resources of the city the wherewithal to pay for same?
