AN URGENT NEED.

Under the above caption the Phoe- nix Gazette in line with what has
 heretofore been urged upon the repub- licans of this county, as we'll as of the whole territory by the Journal
 Miner says that special attention should be given by republican party
 leaders this fall to the naming of a sound representative legislative ticket, made up of men thoroughly conversant
 with the needs of the taxpayers of the territory and fearless in the perform aace of their duty. Differences of the
 past should be left to the past, and
 there should be no refusal or even
 hesitation to work earnestly and in perfect: harmony for the redemption of the territorial legislature from the misgovernment of democracy. The republicans owe this duty to the people of Arizona, and it should be performed.
 The conservative business ma can see nothing but cause for alarm when party points proudly to the doings of the last democratic legislature. If democrats are proud of that record they are certainly easy to appease. Admitted by the democratic press as having enacted but one law beneficial to the taxpayers, it is interesting to note that that one act was championed by Governor Brodie, and made the subject of lengthy recommendation in his message to the legislature. If the democratic record is the enact ment of the Cowan law, turning the incorporation fees into tEe territorial treasury, they have little to stand on. The measure came from republi- cans and was voted for by republican members of the legislature.
 The great issue in the approaching campaign is that of securing a good legislature and it is of such great i'm portance that no man should be per mitted to cloud or conceal it by thrusting in questions which have little or nothing to do with our home affairs. The republicans can give the people the kind of government they need if they will join ill a common effort to place the best and most legislative ticket pos sibIe ID nomination and secure for it a majority of the votes at the polls.

these qualifications, friends of Hon. B. A. Fowler, of Phoenix, are urging bis claims as being just such a man, also. His ability, his intergity and his influence are unquestionable.
 His accomplishments in Washington last winter and the winter before for the good of the people of this territory are evidenced by the great work of the government in the construction of s4, GOO, ,0O0 reservoir for the people of the Salt River val l ley and the great g, 900, GOO project at Yuma. His work for Arizona on the statehood matter and particularly in so far materially aiding in delaying action on the joint-statehood matter is we'll known among those posted in such matters in Washington.
 Mir. Fowler, it is true, has publicly intimated. his unwillingness to run for delegate to congress. What his reasons are we do not know, but the situation may have so changed since he came to that deter minatlon, and the reasons for his ac- ceptance become so that he would heed the wishes of the people to stand for the office.

WATSON ON ROOSEVELT.

Tom Watson, who heads the ticket of the populists, as candidate for president, thinks that Roosevelt is not so bad after all. In his speech of ac- ceptance Watson said:
 "I have no words of abuse for Theodore Roosevelt. I believe him to be brave, honest, conscientious man. give him full credit for hay ing a splendid courage of conviction, but inasmuch as he stands for those governmental principles which, in my judgment, are hurrying this republic into a soIdid despotism of wealth 1 will combat him and his principles as long as there is breath in my body" |"
 Answer ing a self asked question as to why he consumed more time dis cussing democrats than in speaking of the republicans, the popuilst leader made reply thus:
 ''lt's an easier and quicker job to strike an open enemy right between the eyes than it is to tear off the mask from the face of a pretended friend and show him to be the hypocrite that he is. ''

PLEA FOR THE DOG.

Along the same line of argument of the Journal Miner the Los Angeles Times has espoused the cause of the unlucky canine and demands better treatment for the brute even if he is nothing but dog. The Times says
 "Every dog has his day, the old say ing runs, aud sometimes there comes a day when the dog catcher takes Rover to the city pound. What hap pens to him there is frequently a sad story. He is not always treated in the canine calaboose just as kindly as he might be, and when it is deemed necessary to remove him from the land of the living he is often made t. literally die the death of a dog with an unnecessary degree of cruelty.
 ''The Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals has requested to be put in charge of the city dog pound, and if the society demon strates its responsibility possibly it would be a good idea to grant its re- quest. But in any event, better treat ment should be given the animals that fall under the vagrancy ordinances or which are taken in charge for any other violations of the law. While under detention in the pound it should be seen to that they do not suffer for lack of water or food and that they be not maltreated in any way. Before putting the dog to death an offer of it should be made as pain less as possible for the poor, dumb creature thus doomed.
 Cruelty and brutality must be elim- mated from the dog pound The people of Los Angeles "ill not suffer mans most faithful friend to be need lessly abused" "

The telegraph on Monday announced an accident to Barney Oldfield and his automobile racer in which two men were killed and Barney was very seriously if not fatally injured. Old field'was one. of the greatest dare devils that ever drove one of these modern juggernauts. The writer saw him in November last when he drove machine around the race track at Los Angeles, breaking all former records by reducing the time for a mile considerably below minute. Bare headed he, speeded around the track, fairly inviting death, his machine sliding sideways at the turns, nearly across the track, so great was the momentum. His hair, in the wind created by his speed, stood up on end, and the great danger to which he subjected himself, fairly made the hair of the spectators as- sume similar position. It was freely predicted at that time, by many who witnessed his record breaking feat, that 1t was only question of time until Barney Oldfield's machine would assert itself and make a record besides that of speed, by killing its manipulator. Should he recover from his injuries of last Sunday this pre- diction may never be fulfilled as it will in all probability have the effect of shattering his nerves so much that he will never be able to get the speed out of his machine that he formerly has.

It was very kind and thoughtful of Judge Parker, in his speech at Rose water Mount, to assume the public that if the democrats should succeed in putting him into the White House neither he nor his party could do any harm to the commercial interests of the country since the senate is hope lessly republican. How, then, under the same circumstances, could the democrats do any good?

The Sun, of New York, has had a varied experience in the course of its career as a paper which shone for all. One need not recapitulate the list of all the candidates it has supported {; enough for nur present purposes to know that it refuses to sup upon the democratic platform, which it des- cribes as composed of "helI broth, dish waterand dynamite" and that it announces it prefers the "impulsive candidate" Roosevelt, to the "repre- sentative of. the Hun vote in the back ground. This is pretty severe, but the Sun always did use strenuous language.

Replying to some of his democratic critics W. J. Bryan. in his Con- moner says that he owes duty to the loyal Democrats of 1896 and 1900 as we'll as to the organization, and he could not help the ticket by pretend ing to be delighted with the nomina- tion. Neither could he help the ticket by trying to deceive those who have trusted him. That simply means that Bryan does not like the nomination made at St. Louis and that he is eating crow not because he likes it but because he feels it is his duty to do so. He claims the right to make just as many wry faces over it as he feels like too.

The state department decides that the sacred Monroe doctrine has not been particularly lacerated by the British seizure of Bird island in the West Indies, first because under the law of nations any power finding en unoccupied guano island may take it and hold it until the deposits are ex- hausted; second, because it is too little and insignificant to be worried about {; and, third, because the British did not do it.

FOOD FOR THOUGHT.


 The night of July 3d, 1904, MT. Vim. J Bryan, at St. Louis, Mo, gave out a statement containing these frank remarks:
 TWO ARGUMENTS ARE HAVING WEIGHT WITH THE DELEGATES. AMONG THE RADICAL DEMO- GRATIS THE FEELING IS THAT THE PARTY MUST NOT BE SUR RENDERED INTO THE HANDS OF WALL STREET. INFLUENCES BACK OF THE PARKER CANDI- DACY ARE so INTIMATELY AS WITH THE TRUSTS AND THE GREAT CORPORATIONS THAT THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY COULD NOT APPEAL TO THE MASSES. THE SECOND OBJEC- TION Is THAT HE CANNOT WIN. WITH SUCH A CANDIDATE THE BATTLE WILL BEGIN WITH A AND END WITH A ROUT.
