the city are so heavy. l remember that under his former administration the expense of running the town was lit- tie more than half what it was after he went out, and I like to see an ad- ministration that is both progressive and economical. I like the principle that Adams has always insisted on that the city administration must car ry out the will of the people. I don't like to be compelled to leave my bus mess and go to mass meetings in or der to pound sense into city officials. and I don't like to be compelled to threaten mob law in order to keep the council from robbing the city blind or from selling us out. I have a pretty good sized business, and I wouldn't think of hiring Powers to manage my affairs if I could get the services of Adams"
 This is almost a literal paraphrase of what Is heard in talking with re- publicans, and it is gratifying to find so many broad minded democrats who are talking the same way.

 It appears that Mir. Powers was prac- tically the whole thing in the com pany.

ground were not encountered. But in variably. except in the case of mining sharks. a showing for the investment can be made in unproductive holes in the ground.
 But the money for the smelter at Wickenburg was to be used for the smelter and nothing else. according to Mir. Powers promises. It may be sug- gested that MT. Powers has been un- fortunate and found himself unable to return the money. But if Kerr's was the only case of a promise to return the investment, MT. Powers would have had no difficulty in borrowing the forty dollars in Phoenix from al- most the first friend that he met. He could have got it from the business office of The Republican as a personal favor. And taking the other horn of the dilemma, if he received large sums and promised to return these large sums, what has become of the money?
 But We wish to say nothing unkind of MT. Powers. We have not intend ed to attack his integrity. except so far as he makes his own showing. What we wish to impress upon the voters of Phoenix is that MT. Powers has not shown such an aptitude for business affairs as qualities him for the great office of mayor of Phoenix. Poverty is no crime. and inability to pay ones debts Is no crime. but to say the least an explanation was due to MT. Kerr, and according to Mir. Kerr he has received no explanation.
 Many a poor man is a capable bus mess man. but what friend of MT. Powers would say that he has shown himself the kind of a business man that is wanted for mayor during tl.e two momentous years that We are now entering?

The mayor of the city of Phoenix should be the business manager of the municipal government. The business of the city aggregates sSO,OOO a year, and covers a great variety of things. It Is quite as complex, indeed. as the business of a city many times as large; the only difference is in the size of the items. That a capable, strong and sue cessfuI business man is needed in the mayors chair is admitted by every body.
 The mayor must also be q man whose integrity Is above question. His honor must be unassailable.
 Bearing these things in mind. the matter that follows should be of ab sOrblng interest to the voters and tax payers of Phoenix. It throws a flood of light on the question of T. T. Pow CTS fitness to be mayor The story. told In the main by himself, shows that he has been a failure. It presents him as man who has been engaged In transactions that are far from credit able. It shows that while he is now posing as q reformer and as superior morally to J. c. Adams, his opponent he has made a record which reveals a startling lack of a sense of honor.

mr. Powers and His Record.

We promised yes. s.erday morning to furnish some very interesting litera- ture today. bearing on the fitness of MT. T. T. Powers to be mayor of Phoe- nix IL is furnished now. per sched- ule. It did not appear yesterday morn ing because we wished to be sure of our facts. and on account of delayed mails some of the documents did not arrive until yesterday.
 The record was not completed. in deed. until half past nine o'clock Sat urday night when the telegram print ed below was received.
 Every voter in this town who is cap able of taking an unprejudiced view Of his own interests should read the unvarnished chronicle of MT. Powers business transaction with the old far mer, J. D. Kerr. of Harvel Illinois.
 MT. Powers. according to the state rneuts made by him in his advertising matter. sold large quantities of stock in the Acme Smelling and Refining Company to eastern investors. The scheme was to construct a smelter at Wickenburg, Arizona. The smelter has not been constructed, for reasons best known to Mir Powers. As long ago as July, 19OO-five years ago. all 1nost-Afr. Powers sold to MT. Kerr block of stock for forty dollars. Two years afterward. he was promising Mir Kerr to return the forty dollars within sixty days if the smeIter project was not a success by that time. The prom ise. contained in the letter from Mir Powers which we reproduce verbatim, was unqualified, as our readers can see.
 The smeIter was not a success. be- cause of the very good reason that it was never built. but the money was not returned to Kerr. After waiting patiently for two years for the full flment of the promise, MT. Kerr wrote. last August, to a lawyer in Phoenix, the letter of which a facsimile is printed.
 It occurred to us that possibly MT. Powers had returned the money since last August, however. and out of ex- treme caution to do him no injustice The Republican telegraphed yesterday to MT. Kerr, and hired a courier at Harvel. Illinois. to ride five miles into the country and deliver the message. We asked: Has Powers or anybody else returned the money you paid for Acme Shelter company stock? Wire fully" Last night, at, 9:sO, MT. Kerr's reply was received. It reads:
 "Harvel, Illinois, April 2e, 1905. Arizona Republican,
 Phoenix, Arizona.
 "No. Powers nor no one else has ever returned the money l paid to the Acme Smelling and Refining compa ny. l do not know of any one else who invested in the stock of the Acme Smelling and Refining company, of Phoenix, Arizona. J. D. KERR"
 We take this opportunity to release the Western Union Telegraph compa- ny from secrecy. in order that any reader of this paper can readily yer fly the accuracy of this copy
 Why was not the money returned to Mir. Kerr? This smelter deal was not on a plane with the promotion of a mine. When a mine project fails it means, usually. that the judgment of the promoter was at fault. and the riches expected to be found in the
