Labor.

This is labors day in labor's country.
For. after the last word has been said, II
remains true that the man who works with
lis hands. no less than the man VINO works
with his mind, finds in the United states
his greatest opportunity. In no other coun-
Try does he fare so well, or as an indiVid-
ual count for so much AS a rule his
wages are good, his home is snug. he and
has family are respected, and the world
goes we'll with him. He has his IN )ments
of doubt and depression They come to
him to every other man. Under their
influence he. at times, does some illad";sed
things But, in the main. he knows the
road and keeps in the middle of It, and
as the result he makes progress from year
To- year. He is better off today than he
WITS this day last year, and, barring acct
dent. or such turn in the general tide as
now and then comes without his bidding
and is quite beyond his power to prevent,
he will be better off this day next year
than he is today. Good luck to him.
Labor's greatest privilege is not in organ
ization. or in the right to strike. but i'll the
ballot. The laboring mans stake in sound
public policies is something he never for a
moment should fail to appreci tie. If things
are going well with him they are pretty
1t is in his power to render important aid
in shaping public policies. Discussion. in
all but the lower southern states is full
and free. Newspapers, daily and weekly,
are numerous, and public speakers find
much encouragement. The laboring man 3
sources of information are abundant. SO
that he who wants to know what is best
for him and his, and has the courage to
apply the wisdom he gains, is sure of d
return for his INDUSTRY and his ballot.
Where there is unrest today 1t does not
grow out of lack of opportunity to work, but
out of disputes as to terms of work. Bust
less is good. the crops are maturing in fine
shape, and there is meat on every mans
table This is a land of plenty, and the
policies which have brought it about are
good for much more. Let discuss
may the problems of distribution, but
let us not lose sight of what has produced
the supply nor put an end to 1t in any
passionate effort to adjust minor inequali-

Vermont and Arkansas,

Vermont votes tomorrow. The state is
republican beyond doubt. But some in
terest attaches to the size of the conceded
majority. Senator Proctor says that %, 900
will be entirely satisfactory TO his party
He evidently expects as much as that. The
campaign has been short, and not particu-
larry spirited We may well believe that
no change in sentiment has taken place
either as to sound money or protection, and
so If the republican vote should fall off
the democrats may be expected to explain 1t
on the score of Imperialism and distrust of
the Roosevelt temperament, and to direct
their line of attack elsewhere on those two
issues. Arkansas is voting today, but no ma
tional interest attaches to the contest Gov.
Davis, although pronounced unworthy of
support by number of the most prominent
democrats of the state, will be reelected.

Much was recently published about the
copper kettle treatment for water. Copper
canteens have been recommended for soi-
ders. All this. because copper Is known
to be a germicide. Somewhat of L set

Up to this time it has been con side"ed a

MI. Hill in the Campaign.

MIR. Bryan. in an interview. denies that
he demanded the retirement of Mr.. Hill
from politics. The yarn was scarcely worth
his notice. A feebler invention has not as
Yet appeared in the campaign.
Mr. Hills action was clearly air his own.
He had not in mind the Bryanites. but the
independents. His play was for the men
who don't mind accepting his services. but
object to rewarding them. The fixing of
the day of retirement shows Mr. Hill S
thorough appreciation of the sort of men
he is dealing with, They would not have
appreciated immediate retirement. That
would have deprived them of his valuable
aid in the campaign. They want him to be
active, and their hope of carrying New
York is truly in him. But they don't want
him TO receive anything for his labors. SO,

possible. must have these independent

Coming Home.
From the Philadelphia Ledger.

The summer nomadS are returning to
town, and in a few weeks the latest lag

old stand. Next to the joy of going away
is the delight of coming home. The diff
ference Is only that which exists between
the anticipation of a good time and the
memory of it. The philosophers are divided
upon the question whether expectation is
better than retrospect. defender of the

notes of preparation, the clamor of the

Tobacco for Children.
From the New York Tribune

A bill has been submitted to the British
house Of commons forbidding children
under the age of sixteen years to smoke
tobacco or to use the so-called "nox ious
weed in any form, and proposing to exact
fine not exceeding 10 shillings for each
offense against this parliamentary act Nc
intelligent person denies that the use of to-
bacco by youngsters is injurious, but 1t Is
not generally expected that this proposed
enactment will become a law in Great
Britain. because. If for no other reason Its
thorough enforcement would be practically
impossible. Deceitful urchins would smoke
or chew or snuff the stuff In spite of the
prohibition. But the public in this country
would be glad to see the smoking of Gig
arettes by newsboys and other lads of the
streets who are of tender years suppressed
entirely.

THE GLOBE GAMES.

Arrangements have been made 10 pull on two games next Sunday on tbe Clifton diamond between the Clifton and Globe teams. The first game will be called at lO o'clock in the morning and the afternoon gamc at 2:30. Every thing points ,o good games. The Globe boys will draw from the Gila valley and it is known that they have secured the services Ot Balmer, the well known San Carlos pitcher. The Globe papers speak in the highest terms ol their team and say that the boys can play ball, which will be more fully explained in the next issue o; the ERA. The Mctcalf train will leave Clifton twenty minutes after the after noon game, which will be very con ycnicnt for the Metcalf people who en- joy aseball. Come out and exercise your voice whether you root for Clifton or not. The local tea welcomes all.

TuE .Iournal-Miner of Prescott is urging the nomination of R r.. Mor- risou for delegate to congress- Mor- risOn made a fine run last time and was beaten by Wilson by less than five hundred votes and it is generally admitted that Wilson is the strongest candidate the democratic party can put up. The republican party leaders claim that the republican vote has been increased in Arizona more than a thousand, and that the socialist vote will cut into the democratic ranks very deep ths trip. lt these calcu- lations are based on fact, Morrison ought to make a winning. There is no more popular republican in south crn Arizona than the indominatible. aggressive and eloquent Bob Morri- sOn.-Star.

When it is con Sidercd that property is never as SeSsed for more than one-half ot it's par value, and frequently for less. it will be seen that the district is going ahead by leaps and bounds.

Successful Badger Fight at TOItec Club.

Quite d successful badger fight was pulled of at the To!tec club last even ing in the presence Of good sized ard selec. audience. The fight was ar ragged for the special benefit of II. $ Anderson, formerly of the Shannon Copper company, but now prominent promoter.
 Nr. Anderson acted as champion for the badger, which was striped in color and almost as large as the dog against which it was pitted. With the assistance of Mr. Anderson, who successfully pulled it from q barrel, the badger whipped the dog in very short order.-El Paso Herald.
