SOMETHING
 TO REME EM BIER.

As the date of the Democratic couD- ty convention draws nearer t is well
 to sit still for few minutes and think
 of the real purposes for which this
 convention will gather and the i'm
 pression its actions will make on the independent voters of the county
 Cochise county is overwhelmingly
 Democratic. This much was demon strated at the last election, when il was shown that the major portion 0! the increased population were adher- ents of the Democratic party. Nat
 urally they cast their votes for the party of their choice. The Demo cratic ticket nominated two years ago was an exceptionally strong one, not because the nomineees were believers
 in the principles efJefferson and Jack son, not because, the party from whom they received the nomination faveored single statehood. not because of the position of the Democratic party cn the tariff and trust questions. but for the paramount reason that the voters of the county, or at least a great majority of them, recognized the fitness and qualifications fer the office to which the Democratic candidates as pired In Arizona. where nc active part is taken in National affairs where even our delegate is denied a vote, the spell-binder who appeals to a voter in local affairs, on the strength of national affairs, usually finds himself not in sympathy with his audience. We must admit that because a man is a Republican or Democrat B believing in the principles of either P party, does not make him eligiblt for the office of sheriff. Because candidate believes in high protect i've tariff, or tariff for revenue only . is no argument as to why he should o' placed in charge of the recorders of fee.

This Apathetic Campaign.

Campaign managers are puzzled and
troubled by the seeming indifference
Of the people TO politics. The Oldest
campaign managers say they never be-
fore saw SO little interest shown in a
Presidential election.
The apathy is not confined TO any
party. IL IS general Most OF the
political meetings that have been held
up to this time have been poorly at
tended. The enthusiasm has been
down TO the freezing point.
Not more than one-third or the
quantity Of campaign literature used
in the contests In 1896 and in 1900 viii

Tor campaign buttons and badges has
fallen OF 10 per cent. From more

care little whether any campaign Is
made. The torchlight professions,
flambeau clubs, campaign legions, and
other spectacular accessories or former
Presidential contests are altogether
absent.
The Republican leaders console
themselves with the thought that this
indifference means that the people are
SO well satisfied with existing con-
ditions that they have already made
up their minds 10 vote for Roosevelt
and do not care for arguments 10 fort
lily them In their convictions.
The Democratic leaders have no ex-
PLANTATION even as plausible as the fore
going, and they are even more annoy
ed than the Republicans by the abb
sence Of public interest.
There is absolutely no enthusiasm
for Parker and Davis. The Democrats
have not rallying cry anywhere In
their campaign. They say--with re-
gret-that the people seem not 70 care
at all who is elected.
The situation is absolutely unprece-
denied In American politics. In some
ways it resembles the campaign OF
1920, and in others that OF 1924, but is
different from either. The Demo
cratic party has not publicly collapsed,
as the Federalists had In 1920. Nor is
the campaign, despite the efforts OF
some Democratic leaders TO make ii
SO, a mere personal contest like that OF
1924
However, all careful students OF the
workings Of the public mind must con-
fess that the situation promises better
for the Republicans than for the
Democrats. People who have griev-
ances, or feel themselves threatened
in any way, are always interested and
vocal. But people who are satisfied
are silent, especially when they feel
that nothing really threatens their
Therefore 1t must be assumed that
the people expect the Republican
party TO continue in power, and with
that prospect are content.

American Courage.

History is replete with incidents Of he- reism and suffering by men who have been forced by circumstances to shoot a gun in the interest of their countries. There is hardly parallel, however. to the case of a member of the 18th United States Infantry. who fell wounded dur ing an engagement, before Yang Tsun, in China. The English had been shelling the village. unmindful of the approach oi the United States troops. One of their shells fell in the midst of the boys of the Fifteenth.s One youth of IS had both arms and one leg blown of. He regain ed consciousness and -uRder~thate awful, blistering sun, for one-half hour. while his life blood was ebbing away. dictated a letter to his mother without ever winc- ing from the pain that was racking him.

Cyclone Damages Bannpas.

A report from New Orleans which gained credence in fruit importing cir cles in this city was verified upon the arrival of the fruit steamer Gylier this morning direct from Puerto Cortez Spanish Honduras to the effect that a tornado had struck the banana belt in Spanish Honduras, also Guatemala in Central America. causing the loss of nearly half a million banana trees. This means a raise in the price of fruit temporarily. The territory damaged was mostly the property of American capitalists. The Advertiser correspon- dent was informed by an expert on the culture of the bananas that the loss might mean a temporary hardship to the planter. but that unlike many oth- CT kinds of fruit bearing plants, in stead of being totally destroyed by such a mishap, would the ensuing season come up as though nothing happened to it.
