The Legislative Nominations.

With the county conventions of the two parties but little more than a week away. koW many citizens of Maricopa ccVnty are taking any steps toward se- rprinE good men for the legislature? gt iE safe Co say that the legislative nominations are attracting less atten- sion than any other places on the tickets, among republicans and demo- crats alike. And it is also safe to say that the same state of affairs exists throughout the territory. Scheming politicians with selfish purposes 10 serve are too much interested in the legislature. and the people in general are paying too little heed.
 But it iE not too late to assure a reas- cnably honest and respectable Iegisla- ture for the session of 1905. The dele gates to the conventions in Maricopa coVnty, as elsewhere, will be men fair lY representative Of Arizona's citizen ship. In the main they will be men of integrity and intelligence. In order To assure creditable nominations for
  that these delegates shall realize the responsibility which rests upon them, and that they do not forget this re- sIonsibilitY while engaged in the more exciting york of nominating candi- dates for the other offices.
 if the delegates to the republican and democratic conventions in the several counties will determine to turn down she professional politicians and graft sgs who always seek legislative nomin- stjonE. and will insist upon nominating men of good repute, men of tried char scter men of education and sense, they will earn the gratitude of all Arizona.
 There is litle occasion, indeed, for pRrtisanship in a territorial legislature but that is no reason why the con- Ventions of the two parties should ha- bitually overlook the great importance Of legislative nominations. A good re- publican or a good democrat should De proud to serve his party by render tng faithful service to the territory in the legislature, and if the delegates are sufficiently urgent in their demands .they can compel good citizens to accept fhe nominations.
 And as we have pointed out here tofore, in naming candidates fer the legislature the conventions should draw freely on the legal fraternity. There should be at least enough sound law yers in every legislature to protect the territory against the handiwork of cTanks and fools.

It is said that the highest taxed citizen of this country is Marshall Field of Chicago, who pays on a valuation of $4O.OOOOOO, of which $SO,- OOO. coo is on real estate. If MT. Fields realty is worth so much it is not inn possible that he has an income as large as that of any British peer who Is rich in the possession of a more or less fixed return from such property. After all, land is pretty nearly the right thing to own if a person wants assured means of existence without risk through foul and fair weather. IL is not subject to large percentage Of loss. a competing fellow citizen cannot freeze out the title holder, and as a rule the mine never is worked out and war and pestilence carrot re- duce the demand for his product, which is space. especially in Chicago, where it can be created up to twenty to thirty stories from the ground.

The Smiths.

The editor of the Arizona Star has spent a considerable part of his time and his editorial space speculating upon the intimate relation existing between Hon. Marcus A. Smith and the Mormon brethren of the Upper Gila valley. The bond of symI Iathy is there but the Star has not yet succeeded in ascertaining to it's own satisfaction why it should be there. The Mormons are a moral and estimable people and the Star can see nothing in the character or person of MT. Smith that ought to appeal to them. He stands for nothing, says the Star, for which they stand.
 Having exhausted the field of logic to no purpose the Star has invaded the realm of conjecture and wonders if the secret of this strange relation does not lie in the potent and widely distribut- cd name of Smith. It is remembered by the Star that that happened to be the name of the founder of the Nor mon religion, or more accurately speak ing, the first prophet of the church. It is suggested by the Star that Marcus X. Smith may be a member of the same family and that at the rate he is going he may some time himself be- come prophet of the church or at least an apostel of it.
 We do not believe that the Star will ever be able to prove a family relation ship between Marcus A. Smith and Joseph Smith, Jr. The branches of the smith family are so numerous and so intricate that the explorer of the fam fly tree cannot find his way through them, so that the editor of the Star if he pursues his investigation is destin- ed to confusion,
 Beside all available proof is against his theory. We know little of the an tecedents of Joseph Smith and his posterity is pretty well accounted for. He was of New England stock while 1t is known that Marcus A. Smith is of Kentucky stock and according to a statement lately made by him to 2 reporter for the Washington Post his family still occupies the estate which

The democratic brethren of Gila and Graham counties are having troubles of their own. In the latter county Wiley Jones is engaged in the forma- tion of new party. In Gila there is a division over the nomination for sher- if which threatens the disruption of the party. But the republicans of those counties can take little comfort out of the situation in either for if the democratic party were divided square ly in two, either faction would still be too big to handle.

FoLLYs CROWN OF FOLLY.

A young woman in this town went visiting in New York. She was visiting some suburban people in an aristocrat- ic neighborhOod outside of town. She went to a party and was introduced to a number of girls. They seemed nice enough girls and she had a good time But when she met them down to New York they didn't know her from a rab- bit She afterward heard that they said her father was a storekeeper.
 And she had a good cry at the cruel ty of women in general. She said she wouldn't treat a dog that way.
 But she came home and was visiting at house where a girl was working for her living. She and the girl and time one afternoon together. And then a few days later the proud storekeep- CTS daughter sailed down town in her fluffy white duds and passed the girl she had met few days before and cut her dead. Could she be speaking to every hired girl she met on the street?
 Why of course not. And the second girl went home and had a good cry. And she wouldn't treat a dog that way.
 And she went to a dance in the
  out from the front room and the kitch- en, and put the fiddler and the caller off in the bedroom door. And she met a big-footed Dutch country girl who danced on her heels and threw the boys around like sacks Of flour. And the country girl thought the city girl with her big hat and town clothes was just the sweetest thing out of heaven. And when the country girl came to town looking like a fright one Saturday night, she ran into the city girl and her chum from the West side on par ade with a dapper little clerk and a pretty looking tinhorn gambler whom all the girls at the shirt waist dance said was just dead swell" And do you think the town girl spoke to the big footed country girl with her funny clothes on?
 Not on your tintype. She turned her face the other way and she and the other girl and the two boys sailed by prouder than a peacock.
 And so. it goes. Cruelty and pride and vanity stabbing their way through the world. Women are worse than men. Men accept one another for what they are really worth. A rich man who has honestly earned his money thinks nothing of talking to someone's hired men. The railroad brakeman and the railroad president have relations that their wives never could assume-pro- viding their wives are fools. A man is proud of the fact that he has worked with his hands and come up in the

Few contests so stubborn as that in history. There was plenty of oCur- age at the siege of Sebastopol-some- times blind courage, as in the storming of the Malakof. But the recklessness the present contest is almost without parallel. The whole story has not yet been told. But it is clearly one of valor-perhaps of useless Yalor. If the Jaapnese are sacrificing themselves at wholesale in the assault, the dogged courage of the defenders is not less conspicuous.

 Therefore, if there is a family rela- tionship between Marcus A. Smith and the first prophet it considerably ante dates the birth of the latter.

For though the sly young rascals Have plans in secret drawn, Iris shown by Foxy Grandpa He knows what's going on. Now there's a Foxy Grandpa, And he's the real thing, Whose tricks the funny papers Are never picturing.. He dwells in West Virginia, Where he has won some fame. And there he's known as Davis, Which is his real name Sometime ago this Grandpa, Who's eighty years or more. By Democrats was chosen
