NOT A SOCIETY WOMAN.

Her house was small, but her heart was
large.
She was eminently human.
She faithful was to her every charge,
But she was no society woman.
She went to church, and her mite she
paid.
She was earnest as but few men,
She her bonnet plain, her demeanor
staid.
She was not society woman.
Her hands were rough from her useful
toll,
And she paid all that was due men.
Her soul was pure, and was free from
soil,
But she was no society woman.
Her house she kept, and her children
raised,
With wonderful Rcumon.
When they were grown, her children
praised
This no society woman.
A help in need, and in trouble O friend,
Were you sick, then came this woman
Give her her due, and let blessings at
tend
This no society woman.

ROBERT N. BELL. Custer.
F. T. DUBOIS, ACROBAT.

In view of the utterances of
Senator Dubois and the so-called
democratic party of Idaho, upon
what they dub an issue, the fol-
lowing clipping from the Poca-
tello Tribune might be of interest
to the democratic readers of the
MINING NEWS:
Senator Dubois made a speech
in defence Of the Mormon church
in the senate on February 5, 1903,
in which the congressional record
quotes him as saying:
81 say there is no poligamy,
and no one contended more Wig
orously against this tenet and
practice of the Mormon church
than myself. 1t was a fierce fight
for years, and in my feeble way I
did all | could to suppress it.
1T is folly and waste of time
for senators to undertake to dem
onstrate here now that poligamy
is a live issue. 1t is dead; as the
senator from Utah (Mr. Rawlins)
so well said, and he has spent his
life among these people, fighting
them hand to hand. If shy have
suffered on account of their activ-
ity in politics the senator from
Utah is one of them; but, as he
said, poligamy is not living is
sue. 1t is dead because of the
public sentiment in that country,
which has destroyed it.
Nov these Mormon people
believe what no other people do,
and they are as sincere in that as
they are in their other beliefs.
They believe that the constitution
of the United States is a divine
instrument. They honestly and
thoroughly believe that it comes
direct from God. In the early
days they believed that under the
constitution the United States
could not interfere with poligamy
holding to the idea that poligamy
was a part of their religion. They
contended that the constitution,
being a divine instrument, and
poligamy being a part of their
religion it could not be interfered
with under our constitution.

Il may say that they fought

Il may say that they fought
against anti-poligamy laws in all
the courts, but when the supreme
court of the United States decid-
ed that an anti-poligamy law was
constitutional, then came their
manifesto abandoning poligamy.
AS one of the representatives
of a state where the Mormons
are one-forth of the people, /
join with the senator from Utah,
who is in part a representative of
a state where three-fourths are
Mormons, in saying there is no
poligamy, that is, new poligamy,
IN these parts of the country.
doubt if the gentlemen on the
other side are sincere in quibbling
over this proposition. If they
are sincere, let them put the test
oath, or provide for its being put
into the constitution. No one
wants to take it out, but there is
no occasion for it's enforcement.
Should the occasion arise its
power would be invoked.
"This speech was delivered less
than a year before Senator Du-
bois resumed his anti-Mormon
agitation. There had not been
an intervening state election in
which an opportunity was pre-
scented for church influence
1t was after Mr.. Hepburn in Ida.
no and Mr.. Smoot in Utah had
been elected to the senate. Ii
church menance was not a me-
nance in February, 1908, who will
say that it is a menance now?
If poligamy was dead last year,
as the senator said it was, will he
dare to say to the people of Idaho
that it is alive now? These are
the questions that the leader of
the American party must answer
on the stump, and he cannot be-
fog the atmosphere and dodge
the issues by disappearing the
attitude of others upon this ques-
tion."

According to the New York World
Jim K. Jones, sometime u. S. senator
from Arkansaw, has sounded mote of
warming" the gist of which appears to
be the damage which the rejuvenated
populist party will work to the cause of
Parker. Mr.. Jones, it will be recalled,
was the chairman of the democratic
national committee from 1896 until the
other day, when he was relieved by Mr.
Taggart of Indiana. He is the man
who was employed by the democratic
party to attend the st. Louis populist
convention in 1896 and secure the in
dorsement of the democratic nominees.
He succeeded in securing the indorse-
ment of Bryan upon his assurance that
the democrats would withdraw Sewell
and indorse Watson, which promise was
promptly repudiated by him immediate
ly after Bryan's Endorsement was Sc
cured. He is the same Jones who,
because of the most scoundrelly double
dealing, was repudiated by the dem
ocrats of Arkansas; feature of the
campaign being the reading of two let
tiers, written by him, at every meeting
throughout the state and which drove
the sturdy veteran" as he is described
by the New York World, into political
and nearly into social eclipse.
In tones described by the same paper
as showing his deep Indignation, this
discredited Yahoo, following his usual
line of proc edure, cowardly inuendo,
seeks to bring the populist movement
under suspicion by limiting that some
one outside their party was supplying
the funds for the campaign. That
someone" according to this political
cottonmouth, being the republican party
1t seems impossible for Mr.. Jones to
conceive of any other than selfish and
unworthy motives governing the action
of men in political controversies. Ex-
pediency or subserviency and not in
frequently both, seems to have been
since the days of Andrew Jackson as
now, the shibboleth of the democratic
party. They adopted the Chicago plat
form, not because they believed in it,
but to prevent the dissolution of their
party and its ultimate absorption by the
peoples party. They reafirmed this
platform at Kansas city partly for the
same reason and in part because Bry-
ans high character compelled it; but it
is fact, proven by every move of
Jones and his time-serving tribe, that
just as soon as, what they are pleased
to term, the ''peril of populism" was
eliminated by becoming discredited by
its unholy alliance with the decaying
body of democracy, they broke the rec
ord in the sprint to reach the flesh pots
OF Egypt, and we heard nothing of any
one outside the lines furnishing the
funds. Yet, according to previous
statements of Mr.. Jones, someone out
side the lines must have paid the freight.

THE CONTRACT SIGNED
Government Enters Into Binding Re- lationS With Salt River Farmers.

Judge J. H. Kibbey yesterday re- ceived the following telegram from President E. A. Fowler of the Water Users association:
 'I shall bring approved contract to Phoenix with me and will arrive Sat urday. Marcl1>5."
 Next to the announcement made
 when when the association books were closed last summer, that sufficient land had been signed to insure the construction of the Tonto reservoir by the government, the news contained in
 the above telegram is the most pleas
 ing ever heard by the people of this
 valley. It is-the final act on the part
 of the government. placing in black and white it's promised agreement with the people of this valley, to build the ] reservoir. That agreement has here tofore been conditional, only and al- ways, on certain things to be done by ! the people. The signed contract is an ] official announcement by the govern ment of its recognition that the people | have done their part so far as the 1 enterprise has progressed, and abso- ! lutely assures it's continuation of th= l work to completion.
 ! 1 when there was more enthusiastic l demonstra ton, for those times and in | cidents were critical moments when
 the project wavered one way or
 the other, while in respect of the con
 tract it's final consummati0n has bssr l for sometime a foregone conclusion in ] the minds of the people here. No one | here ever doubted the e3rnestness CT
 the intention of the government tc ! execute this contract and the mem | bers of the, association, conscious of ! the fact that they were hlTrying TheiI part of the work as fast as possible | have never faltered in their confidence ! concerning the result 1t was one of l the steps ttat had to follow in the | natural order of things; hence there l was no occasion for excitement when
 the news was received yesterday. But | there is universal rejoicing just the ! same, because another milepOst has ] been passed and there is one less sub l ject for the. worry and attention of those engaged in the affairs of the ! great storage project. It was this thing particularly that called Judge ! I1ibbey and Mir. Fowler to Washington.
 It was something that had 10 be done and done right and the sooner done the better for all concerned. There were mum berless details that had to be look
 ed after and while the reclamation service has been busy with the pre- liminaries it was this special business
 that has engaged the officers of the association and the representatives of
 the government

Rullard brought suit against Mir. Gold man for S5G0, the amount that Charles Williams, superintendent of the Buck eye canal. put against Cottrel's horse as au evidence of his faith that Belladonna was the better horse. The papers will be served this morning.
 On the face of the situation there seems to be but one outcome of the suit and that is that when the pressure of the law is applied the bet will not stand. Most of the side bets have been paid, though 9 few are vet in the hands of stake holders awaiting the dspo- sition of the princapal stakes.
 There were fewer echoes on the streets yesterday of the race. It had been talked of night and day for forty eight hours. Then attention was turned again to the far eastern war, which had heen partially eclipsed since about i o'clock Saturday afternoon.
 The case of JCln Gibson, who had been arrested the day before on the complaint of A. IT. Davidson, charging him with drawing a gun, was settled in Justice Burnert's court, whence the warrant issued, by the payment of the costs.

SAN DiEGO'S BOOM
The Isthmian Canal Has Reawakened
 the Town.

Dr. F. F. Prowen returned yesterday morning from San Diego That town he says is entering upon a boom after a long period Of lethargy from which Il seemed it would never revive. The city is filled with visitors SO that those who live at restaurants have to await their turns. Nothing is to be gained by leaving one restaurant Co go tu another for they are all filed alike. The boom has been largely<set in mo- ton by Los Angeles people who have gone down there and inaugurated the methods which have made their own town famous.
 But the bottom of the boom is the isthmian canal Since last fall there has been a steady increase in the value of property and as the prospects of the ratification of the canal treat~ grew brighter the advance became sharper. On the day of the ratifica- tion all inside property was either withdrawn from the market or put so high that it was out of reach.
 It is believed there that the present visit of George J. Gould has something It is suspected that he is engaged in negotiations with the Rock Island for an arrangement for reaching what will be the last and the first port to call for vessels passing the canal The peo- pie of San Diego believe that the late visit Of Mir. Gould to Bisbee is signi- flcant of his relation with the Rock Island.
