We have written and thought OF
politics so much that it Ia hard to
get back to the ordinary events OF
life, but we will exert ourselves to
the utmost endeavor to furnish all
the current and local news and
abiure politics for the season, after
all the returns are in and duly re-
corded.
The house occupied by Charley Lee
in Elkhart township, was burned last
week. Mr.. Lee had recently traded
the property but still hadposseesion.
The household effects were insured,
but the new owner refused to take
the policy which was on the house ut
she time OF the trade and consequent
" the house was a total loss.
Sam and Albert Kimmick, brothers
living in Cape Girardeau, Mo, we're
badly wounded the other day while
out hunting. They stopped to talk
to a farmer who also was hunting.
As the farmer was ejecting a shell
from his gun both barrels we're
discharged into the bodies OF the
brothers. Their condition are consid-
cred critical.

that state, Mrs. Huyser still holds to
the belief of her fathers that woman's

suffrage.

The republican territorial conven ton appears to have nominated B. A. Fowler for delegate to congress because of the insisteuce of Judge Kibbey aud the Water Users association of Salt river valley, and the indifference of a majority of the other county delega tions, they realizing, no doubt, the uselessness of attempting to defeat Mark Smith. NIT. Fowler is not vide ly known iu Arizoua, aad is not ideI . tiied with any important interest here, except as a promoter of the Salt river irrigation enterprise for which, no doubt, he has been amply paid. The campaign will be diversion for him, and after the election of Mark Smith he can return to the work of organiz. ing water users associations.

The local candidates are beginning to bestir themselves and are visiting some of the nearby camps as sort of warming up exercise, preliminary to opening the canvass in earnest. The candidate this year is confronted with a more difficult proposition than in former campaigns. The new precinct of Roosevelt will have perhaps an hun dred and fifty voters, aud the vote in the adjoining precinct of Grapevine also is expe cted to be large on account of the force of men employed on the power canal. The problem which is giving candidates the most concern, however, is the Arizona Eastern rail- road camp in the extreme southern end of the county, an inaccessible place, reached from Globe only after hard trip. There are one hundred or more voters there nov, and wtth the re- sumption of work by the Phoenix X Eastern the number is likely to be more than doubled. This iDiects a considerable element of doubt into the election. The candidates lot in Gila county this year, like the policeman's, is not happy one.

POLITICAL STORM CENTER

New York is just now the storm cen ter of politics, and it Is likely to be for the rest of the time until election. While the republicans may carry the country without New York, the demo- crsts cannot. But the republicans do not wish to lose New York. It would not look well for the presidents own state to go against him, even if it did declare for another favorite son. Nor do the republicans wish to trust to the narrow margin they could pnssibly ob- tain without New York. Furthermore, New York Is recSoned to be very infu- ential over New Jersey and Connecti- cut. The three states have much com munity of business and sentiment. Hence the great fight will be waged in the Empire state and its neighborhood. In New York city are the headquarters of the two national com mittees, and they are as much concer aed this year as are the state committees in the re- suit there. For these reasons the American people have exhibited great interest in the outcome of the state conventions in New York.

MARK SMITH FOR CONGRESS

The democratic convention at Phoe. nix, by nominating Mark Smith for delegate to congress, ratified the will of the democratic voters of Arizona, who fully appreciate Mir. Smiths past services in behalf of the territory, both in and out of congress, and who feel that he can again best serve them at Washington.
 Mir. Smith is the logical candidate by reason of his ability, his knowledge of the territory's needs, his experience in congress, and his wide acquaintance and good standing among public men at the national capital For these and other reasons Mr. Smith is we'll fitted to look after the interests of Arizona at Washington, and especially at this time when her autonomy Is threatened by the republican majority, who have declared their purpose to merge Ari- zona with New Mexico, and which de- sign they have partially carried out, the bill for joint statehood having been passed through the lower house of con gress by republican votes, and against the united opposition of the democratic minority.
 The voters of Arizona are not so dense as to be misled by republican misrepresentation on the statehood question. The record of the two par ties on that issue is an open book, and shows plainly the duplicity of the re. publican party, which has always op- posed the admission of Arizona as a single state, although its national plat form, in 1900, unqualifedly pronounced in favor of the admission of this terri tory, among others, to the union as a sovereign state.
 To elect a republican delegate now would be regarded us an acquiescence | in the plan to merge Arizona with New Mexico and make of them one repub- lican state. This the people of Ari- zOna will never consent to and they will emphasize their opposition to joint statehood by rolling up the larg. est majority for Mark Smith on No vember s, that was ever given to a candidate for delegate to congress in Arizona.

Notwithstanding the opposition of
 Senator Lodge, voicing the adminis- tration, to reciprocity with Canada, the sentiment in favor of freer trade with our northern neighbor has gained great headway in the New England states, and especially in Massachusetts, where petition favoring reciprocity with Canada, bearing 60,000 names, is be- ing prepared for publication in pam phlet form. It is interesting to specu. late as to what the republican state con vention will do and the position that Senator Lodge will assume on the reel prociiy issue. If reciprocity is not recognized in the platform there is go- ing to be trouble for Massachusetts, junior senator and the state machine. The Boston Herald says that revolt is In the air, and the men ia whose breasts the revolting spirit throbs are republicans whose loyalty can not be questioned.

The democrats of Mohave are to be congratulated for having defeated the aspirations of Kesn St. Charles to rep resent that county in the legislative council. The conservative element in the party, under the leadership of J. A. Whitesides and Henry Lovin, ac complished St. Charles defeat in the primaries, and elected Edward Hunt as the party's candidate for the coun- cll. The primaries in Mohave county were held under the Crawford system.

Chairman E. E. Ellinwood of the democratic territorial committee has opened headquarters in Prescott and is preparing to inaugurste vigorous campaign for the election of Mark Smith and the success of the democra- tic cause in Arizona, The organiza- tion of the territory will be more thor ough than was ever before attempted. Stenographers will be employed and letters and literature will be sent into every precinct to awaken interest in the campaign and increase the demo- cratic votes. Mir. Ellinwood has named an executive committee to assist him in the campaign work, men who are prominent in the party councils. and who are located at important centers of population in the territory. There will be no apathy among those directing the democratic campaign in Arizona.

The champion long distance gover nor ih this country, If we mistake not, IS Gov. J. K. Toole, of Montana. He was the states first governor, and he has served three gubernatorial terms Of four years each. Now the demo. crats have nominated him for another term. If he doesn't pull through this time, 1t will not be from any lack of gubernatorial experience. There are a good many complications in Mon- tana politics at present. Coppers are the main issue.

No one is surprised that Judge Barnes, of Tucson, has quit the de mo- cratic party. He practically did that several years ago when he engaged his services to the holders of the bonds for a railroad that never was built and compelled the people of his county to pay for them. The crime of legalizing the bonds lays at the door of the re- publicans, and having profited thereby 1t Is not 10 be wondered at that the judge has joined the republicans. He will feel quite at home in that camp.- Tempe News.

The territorial democratic platform IS concise and sufficient statement of democratic principles, giving to state hood and irrigation the prominence which they should have. The state. mens in regard to irrigation legislation IS important because it gives the re. cord, showing that national aid for the reclamation of the arid lands was initiated by democratic congressman

from western states, and that such leg
 islation was only made possible by the strong support given by democratic members. Upon a republican admin istration devolved the duty of putting this law into operation, but without the vigorous and persevering efforts of
 western democrats the national irriga-
 ton law could not have been enacted.

Under the new election law the name of every citizen in St Louis who fails to vote will be printed and kept on file by the election commissioners. It is hoped in this way that the citizens can be induced to pay more attention to elections. It will be to an extent like posting members for dues at club, a disagreeable, but frequently effective, way of collecting what is owed. In New York non-voters are given the preference on the jury list. That is, those who do not vote are first drawn for jury service. Business men, who naturally wish to avoid the loss of time entailed by jury service, will, it is ex- pected, be careful to see to it that their votes are recorded.

New Tax Law.

The general revision of the law con-
corning the assessment and collection of
taxes passed by the Legislature in 1908
goes into effect this year.
There are two notable changes in the
law. One is that the State Board of
Taxation may by rule direct that the
value of each parcel of land may be as
sessed separately from the buildings and
and improvements upon it. We under
stand that the Board ha made a rule
for this article 2, section Z to apply to
cities only.
The most notable change snot allow
ing mortgages on real estate to be sworn
off as heretofore. It's article2, section
10 and reads as follows:
No mortgage OF debt secured by
mortgage on real property which is
taxed in this State shall be listed for
taxation, and no deduction from the as
seSsed value of real property shall be
made by the assessor any mort
gage debt, but the %mortgagor or owner
of the property paying the tax on mort
real property shall be entitled to credit
on the interest payable on the mortgage
for so much of the tax as equal to the
tax rate applied to the amount due on
the mortgage, except where the parties
have otherwise agreed, or where the
mortgage is an investment of funds not
subject to taxation.
