C0MMONLY KNOWN.

Mark Smith is solidly established as
 the greatest representative of inactivi- ty a commonwealth ever had to be ! burdened with, and it is no reflection
 on him to reproduce the following
 taken from late issue of the Los An geles Times on the rating he enjoys.
 So accordingly it is printed below,
 not as of any particular interest to
 Arizonans, but it shows how such a political commodity will creep into notoriety, and worse than all Arizona
 has to swallow such dose:
 "Looking across California's eastern border line, beyant the murky Colo rado, the view is unimpeded by the bulk of towering federal buildings. In Arizona the government pays rent in at least four towns in sums sufti- cient to we'll repay the cost of federal buildings. It is not remembered if any such structures ever were asked for by Marcus Smith, now candidate for a seventh term in congress from Arizona. The worth of a congressman is to be measured by the amount of good he does the people who send him. If Arizona returns Smith again, it will show they prefer misrepresenta- tion to representation. The republi- can candidate, B. A. Fowler, has had a hand in the greatest enterprise ever started for the benefit of Arizona-the Tonto Basin Reservoir. His supporters have painted the single word ''Eftic- iency" upon his shield. In Washing ton he would not indicate that the people of Arizona were wild and wool ly. It lies with the Arizonans to show whether they want man of this kind in Washington or one of the democratic stripe.''

cordingly to the point in so far as his personality figures, and likewise was it true so far as the needs today of Arizona are to be considered. The situation in which this gentleman is placed is drawn to a fine point-he wants something done, and he helps to do it. Furthermore he wants as- sistance, and that is why he wants MT. Fowler in congress to help secure for this territory a firm regarG in any and all things deslred There never has been a more earnest regard from the stump evinced to the mater ial interests of Arizona, nor taore open expression from the lips of any one, than is to the credit of this nan. He handled the railroad interests. the irrigation movement in all phases. the building of a government assay in Prescott and pledged the growth of this city through these influences if we secured the man to handle them oftic- tally. 1t is time to wake up to a stern realization of duty, and Mir. Mufphy as we'll as others know it. The people are yet slumbering, and political idol atry supplants material progress. Mir. Murphy feels it, and while he was en- phatic ID saying so, conditions as they prevail today throughout Arizona, ex- emplify the belief that the demagague rules and progress is a back number, so far as governmental aid to any pro- ject is to be considered. This is prov en in the cases of Whipple and tn building of water storage enterprises. In both of these instances it has been the private individual that has borne the burden. The politician has seGur- ed nothing, neither will he in the fu- ture.

A BAD INJUN.

Adams, in his account of the Fowler meeting last week at Jerome, as he gives it in the Mining News, lets him self down easy. If there ever was a man sat down on and squelched it was Adams.
 When Smiths name was mentioned by Bob Morrison, Adams clapped his hands, and so did several others, but when the speaker said "That's right cheer for Mark now, its the last time you'll have a chance, as Fowler will snow him under on election day." the avalanche of cheers which burst forth oveIpowered and smothered Adams and he was a nice quies boy for the rest of the evening. Adams didn't cheer for Smith because be was paid to do it, for the very good reason that one of the democratic warhorses in Je- rome told the Smith managers that if they gave Adams a cent, he, the demo- cratic wheelhorse, would get out in that town and fight Smith until the polls closed on election day.

FOR SUPERVISORS.

When you come to choosing your next supervisors recollect that Fred Stephens of the Verde, the democratic candidate for reelection, voted for that infamous compromise which gave to the wealthy United Verde the four teen thousand dollars which belonged rightfully in your county treasury. He deserves defeat for such conduct and will get it. Haskell and Smith will make good team and will be am- ply able to take care of the gentleman from YarnelI, the democrat who will continue on the board, and that too for equality of taxation for all tax payers, great or small.

in the Chaparral country. Jesse Jones, his next door neighbor, placed his name before the convention, and when Jesse endorses a man he must be all the people can desire.
 We need lawyer from Yavapai in the legislature. Laws must be care fully drawn to make them legal. Bills for the consideration of the legislators are usually the product of legal minds as all will admit.
 In Leroy Anderson, legal training and experience are combined. He is active, painstaking and progressive He has made a record in Arizona as lawyer that places him in the front rank of the profession. He is devo- tion itself to the interests entrusted to his care. As the representative of the people, their welfare will be safely guarded and he is sure of election, so get on the winning side and increase the majority.
 These four candidates stand for pro- gression and honesty. They are pledg- ed by the party platform to assist in making laws which will not retard Arizona s development but open up all her great resources. If bills are intro duced in the legislature which will aid in decreasing taxation, they will %ork and vote for their adoption. They will not fight and vote against such legislation as Yavapai's three in the last lower house did to their dis credit.

The voters of Yavapai county should weigh every man on the republican ticket, and on the basis of coanty finances, four per cent, knock out drops every two years for the county from it's legislative bunch, persistent hankering after office, and tinarcial evils by the basket full, why should the old line democracy be eternally supported. The only remedy in official life given the burdensome taxpayers of late years has come through the elec- tion of republicans. To persist ir the present methods of running the ma chine on a political basis of oily re- presentations is played out, and ghat the people want is in striking contrast to what they have been getting It is about time there was a disposition to do something else than pile up ex- penses and and keep the tax rate boil ing over all the time.

WATS0N'S MISSION.

Thomas B. Watson, otherwise and
 more familiarity known as "Tom,
 nominee of the populist party for
 president of the United States, spoke
 in Chicago recently, and as usual bit
 terly denounced the policies of both
 the republican and the democratic parties. "If Bryan had bolted the St. Louis platform and called upon dem- ocrats everywhere to rally to his sup port against Wall street," said Wat son, ''Parker's campaign would have died in its birth. The Belmonts and Germans and Olneys and Clevelands would have been driven into the re- publican camp, where they belong. Bryan would have made himself the uncrowned king of American democ- racy, and in all probability would have defeated Roosevelt in 1904 most assuredly in 1908." Watson fur ther declared that Parker had not the ghost of a chance to be elected, and that ''the only practical effect of his continued candidacy is to stand in the way of real opposition to the rresent system" Watson declared that the purpose of his campaign is 'to revive and reorganize the real democratic sentiment which exists throughout the country"
 If Bryan had bolted the democratic platform and called upon the demo- crats to support him, the candidacy of Parker would not have been ma terially affected; for Bryan would have secured only small portion of the vote of rational democrats. Bryan is an extremist, and is so well known to be such that he can never again se- cure the support of ahy class of vot- CTS save extremists. If Bryan had bolted the platform, Watson would not nave been a candidate, for he is the campaign that would have "died in its birth" The race would have been principally between Roosevelt and Parker, with Bryan as a popu- listic tail-ender.
 The spectacle or Tom Watson at to 'reviye and reorganize" democratic continent throughout the is enough to excite the laughter of gods and men.

Joe Roberts has a record to look back to officially that will stand all the pinhead puneturing the enemy is capable of. He has saved YavapaI county many thousands of dollars. and the vicious attacks of the fly up naws- papers are but narrow and unca.led for. Mir. Roberts has been in office but one term, and quite naturally de- sires to succeed himself. He is not a three timer pensioner, please bear in mind. He does not ask the county to make good for him the rest of his days, but simply desires reelection on the basis of what he has accomplished. He has done excellent service and coes not ask for charity votes. He wants them on his record.

CLARK AND THE FARLEY CASE.

The speed shown by the board in employing Ellinwood in the Roberts case and squandering public money was evidently because Roberts was a republican. The question promptly comes, why so? The answer is, Coun- ty Recorder Farley during the year sued Ysvapai county for S1200 on ac- count of fees which he claimed be- Ionged to him. He had paid this money into the county treasury under protest, and wished it back. The board knew of this suit and so did Clark. The time for the county to answer in this case expired and no answer was filed. The board knew it but neither Mir. Ellinwood nor any other special attorney was hired by this board to protect the county's interests. As in the Roberts case, Clark had secured an extension of time from Farley's at torney in which to anwser. The board did not know this. MT. Farley is deomcrat and the members of the board likewise. Was this the reason why no anxiety was apparent and no special counsel employed? It looks like it to a disinterested osberver.
 In the Farley case as in the suit brought by Roberts, Clark answered the complaint and in addition filled counter claim against County Record CT Farley requesting him to pay the county treasurer between S4000 and S5000 fees collected by him for msk- ing abstracts of title. This action is now awaiting trial in the district court.
