JUDGE PARKER,s LETTER

The quiet, steadfast American citizen
must read Judge Parker's letter of ac-
ceptance with a thrill of satisfaction
and glow of pride. Every Democrat
reads it with recognition that here is
a leader indeed 1t does not bubble
into rhetoric, but maintains throughout
the calm, dignified tone of the man Of
affairs, the jurist and the patriot. 1t
is dignified, earnest, and, above all, sin
cere. Almost without an unnecessary.

anu plants the Democratic party firmly
on position as steadfast and as i'm
pregnable as the republic. 1t is a docu-
ment whose pedigree is as old as the
nation. and whose lineage can be traced
without break to the great document
and the great men from which we date.
our national existence.
We need but to review in the brief
est terms this letter, which is so con-
densed that it scarcely bears summa-
rizing, and of such worth that every
voter should read it for himself. In a
few we'll chosen words Judge Parker
accepts the gold standard as an estab-
on to the real issues of the hour The
first of these is commonly designated
by the word imperialism for want OF
a better. Democracy protests against
Capitalization. 1t sees in the contest
now waged the issue of government bv
the law of the land or by individual
caprice" 1t scents the old conflict Of
reason against Imagination, and finds
its only security in an appeal to the
calm and permanent judgments of men.
The tariff is justly arraigned as the
mother of trusts. Discussion on the
dine of tariff versus free trade is merely
academic. The issue of the hour is
to fit practical system to the interest
of the people and the just demands of
the community. Our tariff schedules
,outrageously violate this law. The cost
of living has been enhanced beyond all
Increase in wages. Prohibitory duties,
introduced on the pretense of making
trade basis for reciprocity, have be-
come permanent. The tariff must be
revised, and that work can be done
only by the friends of the people. and
not by the friends of It's abuses.
Judge Parker counters neatly Presi-
dent Roosevelt's statement in his let
ter that recourse TO the common law
against trusts would exclude the cues
tion from the federal courts. He saws
that this is, something not to be decided
by president or candidate for the
presidency; and points out that. the

Street Commissioner Griffith told d reporter that at the next council meeting steps will be taken to get an ordinance passed permitting the oiling of Congress street. It cost Sl50 for the oil that went on sixth avenue, but it has since been learned that twice the amount of oil needed was used. The labor was cheap and even then the men were retained twice as long aS they were required for the reason that the street was not oiled right at first and all the work had to he done over

Right of way Won by 5. p.

Since the first of the year the Southern Pacific railroad company and the Santa Fe railroad company have been scrapping over which had secured the right of way for line down the Gild river from San Carlos to Kelvin. The Southern Pacific line building over this route is known as the Arizona Eastern and the Santa Fe line claiming the same route is known a the Phoenix X Eastern. Se-ver>-ee>@,iits have been tried in the courts of the territory. wherein these lines were the con testantS and the right of way the bone of contention. Now news comes from Washington that the Southern Pacific has succeeded in having it's right of way maps approved by the government. A dispatch from Wash in%tOn says:
 The Arizona Eastern railroad com panv has won out in the fight with the Phoenix & Eastern company for control of an important right of way in the Gila valley, to which both companies laid claim.
 Acting Commissioner of the Gen eral Office Larin addressed to the register and receiver of the land of fee at Tucson d communication stating that the map filed by the Arizona Eastern company had been approved and the conflicting map filed by the Phoenix & Eastern com pany had been rejected.
 This action is subject to an appeal to the secretary of the interior within sixty days.

Vest on the Dog.

The late Senator Vest was ready debator. As q specimen of his spur of-the-moment oratOry. the following plea before the jury in d case wherein one man sued another for damage inflicted by q dogs bite has been re- garded as d classic:
 "Gentlemen of the jury. the best friend man has in the world may turn against him and become his en- emy. His son or daughter that he ha, reared with loving care may prove un@rateful. Those who are nearest and dearest to Us, those whom We trust with our happiness and good name. may become traitors to their faith. The money that d man has he may lose. It flies away from him perhaps when he needs it most. \ man, reputation may be sacrificed in q moment of ill-cOnsid- cred action. The people who are prone to fall on their knees and do Us honor when success l. with Us may he the first to throw the stone of malice when failare settles it's cloud upon our heads.
 The one absolutely unselfsh friend that q man can have in this selfish world. the one that never proves ungrateful or treaCherous. is hi, dog. A mans dog stands by him in prosperity and poverty, in health and in sickness. He will sleep on the cold ground where the wintry winds blow and the snow drives fiercely. if only he may be near his masters side. He will kiss the hand that has no food to offer. He will lick the wounds and sores that come in the encounter with the roughness of the world. He guards the sleep of his pauper master as if he were a prince. When all other friends de- sert he remains. When riches take wings and reputation falls to pieces, he is as constant in his love as the sun in its journeys through the heavens. If fortune drive the mas ter. forth an outcaSt in the world fricndless and homeless. the faithful dog asks no higher privilege than that of accompanying him, to guard against danger. to fight against en emieS.
 And when the last scene of al comes, and death takes the master in it's embrace. and his body is laid away in the cold ground, no matter if all other friends pursue their way there by his grave side will the no ble dog he found. his head between his paws. his eyes sad, but open ir alert watChfulnes>, faithful and true even in death.

Europe is Strong Right Arm of Copper
 Market.

There are several features of in- trinsic merit discernible in the posi- tion of copper. and Shese must tend to exert good effect upon the mar ket course of the metal. other things in the business world being equal. says the Mining Journal Interna- tional trade requireInent are absorb ing the bulk of production as it comes from the mines at d rate which keeps up d constant move ment of supplies on d large scale into multiplied channels of electrical en- terprises. The remarkable outlet for production furnished by the per >i>tent foreign demand. which eclipses all previous records. gives Europe the distinct ton of being the strong arm of the market. Continued enormous exports up to date testify to the magnitude of the copper requirements of England and the continent. and the rapidly widen ing avenues of distribution abroad is deserving of special attention. There is an impression that dom e>tic consumption is possibly improving. and the fact that consumers have been requesting their September de- liveries in advance, gives some ap- parent support to this idea. A sub stantial gain is expected in this re- spect sooner or later, and it will un- doubtedly matefialize to pro- nounced extent at the time the gem eral industrial and business interests of the country wake up from the partial lethargy which has kept trade within restricted limits so long. In the meantime, the heavy exports. much more than compensate for whatever falling off occurred in do- mestiC consumption. Should the eX- port movement continue on the present liberal scale, and the home demand assume larger proportions. the situation may be expected to re- fleet the strength these exec llent factors would impart. The political | situation abroad and the character of the recent European news have te nded to influence buyers to adopt q waiting policy for the present. but with the return of normal conditions more activity will be developed. Copper in primary hands has been ! firmly held at about current prices recently ruling. The outlook for this metal based on the splendid foreign demand. and the project bet terment of domestic conditions i> certainly favorable for maintaining market SOundnesS.

Prisoners in the territorial peni- tentiary at Yuma cost the territory an average of 3S l-5 cents day each.
 This is shown in the report pre- sented by Superintendent Griffen of the penitentiary which was consid- cred at the meeting of the board of control held last week.
 A comparison of the figures with those from other penitentiaries in the United States, shows that the cost per capita at Yuma is less than at any other prison in the country having an equal number of inmates.
 The figures 3S l-5 cents include the entire cost of the keeping of the prisoner, not only the food, but the cost of guards and prison officials as we'll There are now 306 prisoners in the Yuma penitentiary. The total cost of conducting the prison last month was $3.619.5O.

The following item. which origi- mated in the Liberal. has been trav- cling around the territory for some time. and no doubt q great many peo- pie are believing it to he q fact. but in Clifton there is nothing heard in of men in Clifton who are not wear ing diamonds. says the Liberal. Some time ago the Tucson diamond company, Hotf manager, sold lot of certificates to people in Clifton. The rule was to allow q man to take but one certificate. As special favor to a prominent politician who iS in- tinatcly connected with the people who are running Judge Parker $ campaign. he was allowed to take two certificates. \ prominent saloon keeper. who treated the agent plac- ing the certificates, was allowed to take three certificates. The cer- tificateS provided that the holders were to pay in d dollar q week on each certificate. If they missed d payment they were to forfeit all the money paid in. When they had paid in $S0 each they were to have q dia- mond worth Sl60. providing there was enough money in the treasury to pay for it. It took some of the members longer time than it did others to find out what they had run up against. The saloon keeper paid in for about twentytwo weeks. How long the politician paid is not known. as he is somewhat tender on the sub feet, and does not want to talk about it.
