Arizona contains 113,000

Arizona contains 113,000 square miles of territory, be- ing the fourth largest State or Territory of the:Union. The theory of government is against the making of large and ..unwieldly States. Even Texas, with it's 365,00O square miles of territory, has had to cut itself up into the smallest subdivisions of any of the States of the Union to localize and handle its criminal and civil business. Texas is ho- mogeneous both in population and interests. The proposed Joint State of Arizona would be a conglomerate with no in- terests in common.

 after fact in substantiation of his contention that a Rep
 resentative in harmony with the Administration at Wash ington must be subservient to the partizanship lash, and consequently acquiesce in leg islatlon not beneficial to Ari- zona. MT. Smiths ideas on Joint Statehood are not held to revision; he repre- sents the sentiment of the people; he is capable and sin cere and for those reasons he will be returned to his post of duty at Washington.

Purely Political
 Pointers Presented
Board of Supervisors.

Upon the action of the board of su- pervisors, more than any other oflicia does the county depend for it's revenue and progress that all look so fondly to. Its workings are of that nature that each member shouli be a post graduate in economy, financier and | all around business man. His duties are multifarious, and while he legis- | stes for one section he must not be l forgetful that other communities are | exually clamorous and correspond | ingly deserving. Watchfulness over the county household requires the constant vigilance of the supervisors. The finances of the county are at the dispos l of the board, through whom disbursements are made, and from
 whom the public expect and exact
 good accounting. In this branch of
 our county affairs-as is also the case
 with other democratic officials Co
 chise has been singularly fortunate.
 The board of supervisors as now con-
 stituted and presided over by
 J. J. BOWEN,
 has made an enviable record for itself
 during the two years soon drawing to
 close. Commencing with the matter of road improvement, bridge construc- ton and county buildings the Cochise
 county board has accomplished more , meritorious work than any similar set :. of officers in Arizona during a like i. period. This envious record IS due in r the main to the tireless energy O. g John J. Bowen, who, profiting by ( t four years term as supervisor, ha. y become an accomplished adept in ths
 management of county affairs. Bu
 his good work did not end with de
 sirsble improvements. He had
 further and greater duty to perform
 that ct supervising the finances, add ing l. our exchequer and reducing | general taxation, which he did, ther
 now being & greater reserve fund il
 the treasury, and a lower tax rat
 than ever before. For the efficien m work accomplished, in recognition ( al the fact that his routine knowledge C
 county affairs gives him complet vs mastery over a vexstious position, tn in democracy of Cochise county has It n. nominated Mir. Bowen for supervisor
 He needs little commendation iron i, the press, his public record is sui .s ficient. As his reelection is ( n. paramount interest to the taxpaye the cautious, conservative voter wi ,b see to it that MT. Bowen is retained |
 bis present position. To make thi il work less onerous and more effectiv
 the same convention put in nomina f ton for supervisor
 P ALFRED PAUL,
 of Douglas, thus equally dividing tn Ia representation on the board through Il out the county. MT. Paul is a self
 made man of keen business percepti
 bilities, is successful business mai
 of the southern portion of the county d and if elected will bring to the boarc 's ripe qualifications that must inev r. itably conduce to the general welfar l. of Cochise county. It was upon his su D perior qualifications for the position t unquestioned integrity, probity O l character, and devotion to duty re l. posed in him that the democratic ;, nominating convention gave to Mir t Paul the nomination by exclamation Mir.

MARK shlfA's PROBATION AT ScHlfFeLiN HALL

Smiths coming. In no other section of Arizona is MT. Smith held in higher esteem than in Cochise county, and the demonstration last even ing was but a faint attestation of the worth in which he is i held by the Tombstone pub- lie. A multitude of admirers thronged the spacious hall early in the evening and the crowds surged for admission until the edifice was packed from the parquet to gallery and standing room was at a premium. The Tombstone City Band favored the expect ant audience with appropriate selections until the arrival of the speaker, when enthusiasm overcame the crowd and deaf ening cheers smothered the melody of the orchestra. Hon. Ben Goodrich was made Chair
 msn of the evening, an honor most beftting, the. details of which could not have been as
 signed to one more worthy, one more effcient~or a more
 loyal disciple of Democracy.
 The Chairman assumed his
 duties amid tumultuous ap-
 plause. MT. Goodrich refer
 red touchingly to many char
 acteristics of MT. Smith and
 introduced by name each oi
 the several county candidates
 than whom a finer aggrega-
 ton of intellectual integrity
 seldom if ever graces a sim
 liar occasion-when Delegate
 Smith was presented, who oc-
 cupied the rostrum to the ex-
 clusion of all else, the several
 aspirants feeling that sure of election that speech-making
 was deemed unnecessary.
 Mark Smith made one of his characteristic addresses. It was an suspicious occasion for the brilliant Congressman, and for nearly two hours one of the largest and most repre- sentative gatherings that ever assembled in Tombstone lis tened attentively to the indis- putable deductions inimitably presented by the speaker. Mir. Smith was happily at his best, his grace of gesticulation and ease of delivery being in con sonance with the generous re ception accorded-a general outpouring--attesting in no small degree the appreciation in which the services of our Delegate to Congress are held by grateful public. His per oration was a masterly en- deavor, one moment his soul whisperings depicting the threatening dangers in a son. bre hue, immediately turning with a flight ot rhetoric in commendation of the good Re- publicans who had stood by | Arizona through our perilous | fight against a proposed ca lamity.

ATTORNEY GENERAL ELLIS

Columbus. O.-1be hearing before
Attorney General Ellis to determine II

Valentine antitrust act against the
Ohio Wholesale Grocers' association
has been continued until February 81.
The attorney general hit upon the
novel proceeding Of hearing from both
sides in the controversy before decid.
ing to bring action against the alleged
trust. C. G. Higgins, Of the Eldridge
& Higgins company, is complainant.
A small army OF attorneys has been
present at the hearings The men,
bers OF the executive committee OF the
Ohio Wholesale Grocers' association
were present with COUNSEL the Gin
cinnati Retail Grocers' association had
legal representatives in attendance
and Arbuckle Brothers were represent

1t was generally understood that
Mr. Higgins. in his complaint. refer.
red to Arbuckle Brothers. when he
citation had been a party to an agree,
ment with the producers OF certain
brands OF coffee by which the price
of the same had been fixed and con
trol!ed to consumers and the public
generally throughout the state.
Although referring in this manner
TO Arbuckle Brothers In his complaint.
Mr.. Higgins and his attorney at the
beginning OF the hearing expressly dis.
claimed having made any charges
against Arbuclile Brothers.
In substance, the accusations wers
based upon these points:
That Arbuckle Brothers had refused
to sell the Higgins company Ariosa
coffee which Mr.. Higgins claimed was
somehow brought about because he
would not maintain the price OF sugar
as fixed by the Ohio Wholesale Groc.
ers' association. While admitting he
had no knowledge OF anything done
either by the Wholesale Grocers' asso.
citation or any OF its members to In.
duce Arbuckle Brothers to sell OF not
to sell its products to him, yet Mr..
Higgins claimed that whenever he cut
the price OF sugar he could not get
Ariosa coffee. and when he maintain,
ed the price OF sugar he could get the
coffee The representatives of Ar.
buckle Brothers stated to the attorney
general that the refusal to sell Hig.
gins and his company Ariosa coffee
was on account Of personal reasons
only. and because he had been hostile

ago. Arbuckles claimed the right to
sell and to refuse to sell their pro.

refused to sell their products to mem.

the purpose OF buying and selling mer.
chandise for profit. 1t had never en-
gagged in that business at ALL and
should be ousted for nouuser of that

The Presidents Future.

Many augurs are casting horoscopes
as to President Roosevelts future.
Most of them seem to think he must
have an office. Some therefore want
him to be United States senator.
others member of the house. others
mayor OF New York. and Mr.. Jacob
Rils, thinking that promises, like pie
crusts, are made to be broken, desires
him to again be a candidate for the
presidency. 1t has also been suggested
that he should be president of Chicago
university; likewise president of Har-
ward. One prediction may be safely
made, and that Is that he will find
employment at remunerative wages.
Only four presidents after quitting the
White House held high governmental
position. Washington was made lieu.
tenant general, q rank especially <cre.
ated for him, during our trouble with
France. John Quincy Adams served
seventeen years in the house of repre-.
sentatiyes and Andrew Johnson few
months in the senate. Both died in of.
fee. John Tyler was member and
president of the peace congress and
member of the Confederate congress.
Jefferson found employment in found

practlced law most successfully.
