For Delegate to Congress Win. F. Cooper
A RED-LETTER DAY.

September 20 should be declared by the county authorities to be a holiday throughout the length and breadth of the valley, to be celebrated by rejoic- ing and merrymaking. Though months and more than a million dollars have been spent in preparation for the building of the great Tonto dam, not until yesterday was the first actual step in construction taken-not until then was the barrier put in the way of the waters which rush down to the sea, carrying with them wealth which would make in a decade a rich empire out of the Salt River valley.
 Everybody knew that there would be such a red-letter day as yesterday that the "corner-stone" of the great dam would be laid and that upon it would rise the saving structure which will yearly add millions to the wealth of the valley and for ages to come will be an object of admiration.
 Yet it was only yesterday that the visible accomplishment took place. sig nifying that the work of preparation had been brought to an end.
 The worst stage has been passed. though the greatest volume of the work remains to be done From now on the doing of it can be seen and measured from day to day by the eye of the lay man as we'll as by the eye of the en- gineer
 The earliest announcement that the dam would probably be built brought encouragement which was increased by the definite word that the construc- ton had been decided upon. Cour- age grew with each succeeding step. and the great prosperity which the completion of it will bring has been very properly anticipated to a cer- tain degree
 The farmers of the valley and the merchants of the town should now be discouraged by no untoward circum- stance. Disappointments may arise from time to time. but this emotion should not. be magnified into discour- agement. Whatever happens. it should be borne in mind that in few. three or four years at most the valley will be secure. The land, 250,OOO acres of it. will be absolutely and certainly for tified against crop failure, and pros perity for all time will be inevitable.

ceptance of jointure would make us more honest or more intelligent than we are now. or that it would improve the quality of our legislative material The legislatures of New Mexico have been notOriously corrupt and our own have not alays escaped notoriety. Are the legislatures of Arizona the Great to be improved by jumbling the ma terials of which we are wont to con- stitute territorial legislatures to- gether?
 In what way are the people of Ari- zona to be more self governing or bet ter governed under jointure than they have been all these years under a ter ritorial government? In no way at all. but on the contrary we on this side Of the line would be less self governing and unless jointure should in some mysterious manner reform the morals of our preponderating New Mexican friends we would be infinitely worse governed and much more eXpensively governed than We have ever been.

MY AccEPT Jo1NTURE 2

In all that has been written or said by the joint statehood advocates in be- half of jointure there has been no pre- sentatiOn of any definite practical ad- vantage to the taxpayers and other residents of Arizona. They have con fined themselves to minimizing the dis aster which they are asking Arizona voters to draw down upon themselves.
 They have stated with indefiniteness that it will be less expensive to con- duct one state government than two territorial governments with their dual set of officers. Yet they assure such voters as might be influenced by the bait that our dual institutions are to be maintained; We are to lose none of them but the capital There are to be as many employees in the state as there are now in both territories. There will of course, be only one governor and one secretary to be paid by the state instead of two who are now paid by the national government
 There will also be other state off cers for whom there are no corre- spending territorial officers. There will be a large legislature whose ex- penses will have to 5e paid by the state whereas the expenses of both legislatures are now paid out of the federal treasury.
 This showing is not offered as an argument in favor of a territorial form of government as against a state gov ernment, but in refutation of the neb- uIous promises of reduced expenses which our joint statehood friends are holding out
 Any state government must neces- sarily be more expensive than a terri torial government but every patriotic resident of Arizona would gladly un. dertake the additional expense for the right kind of a state-a separate state
 As shadowy as is the promise Of re- duced expenses is the promise of bet ter laws under joint statehood No sensible man can believe that the ac-

 Remembering but one thing and making but one test will keep one from avoiding this error. The thing to re member is that the nominative and ob- jective forms of the personal pronouns are as follows, respectively: I. me; thou, thee; he him; she, her; it. 1t; we, us; you, you they. them: and that the nominative form can never be used as an object of a verb or proposition. The test to be applied is this: Use the doubtful pronOun alone. To apply it- would one say "He gave it to r.? No. Then one should say "He gave it to him and I'

Colonel George Mowbray, of Tulsa, recently discovered that because of the location of his bed he slept each night with his head in the Cherokee nation and his feet on the Creek side.
