credit of the reduction of the county rate. There has never been transaction of the present Board of Supervisors, who every body knows. is Cameron and Poison, but what has been published. You do not hear any of the prosecutors" saying anything about the cash items of 1903 and 1904, that the Williams News cried loud and long for during said years. They are in file in the office of the Board of Su- pervisors. They were never pub l shed. They are now open to your inspection.
 The indictment against me proved boomerang to my prosecutors. It was brought against me purely foi political purposes and am reliably informed that when a juryman told him he hal insufficient evidence to convict, this yer. honest "perseeu,- ing attornery" replied tat he did not think he could get a tonvic- tion, but he only wanted the bill. No reasonable man can doubt his reasons. When a just judge threw out one case in disgust and advised him that he would do the same with a second case, this upright and conscientious prosecuting at torney" wanted to continue the ,ase until next year. When asked for his reasons he gave none, he had none tp give save the honol able(?) reason that he wanted to hold the case up in order to say was under indictment. The judge of this district knew the facts in the case. Would you not rathel take his unprejudice judgment than that of a man whose sole pur- pose was to defame my character to gain his petty political ends, and who would prostitute his office to do so?
 No man in Arizona or any where else has been persecuted as have. while l forgive the injustice and trust that God may do so also, it is beyond my power to ever for get such treatment.

 stand for Recorder on my abil- ity to fill the office and on my past record. 1 have not an apology to make for single official act of mine, during the time l have been in your employ, and while 1 desire to be elected, and to receive the in- huence of every woman and child, and the vote of every man in Coco nino county, do not want the in- fluence or the vote of any one who does not think I am honest to the core, and have always worked and will continue to work for the inter- est of the people who employ me.

AN OPEN LETTER
In Which County Recorder Hbben Asks for Fair Play and Nothing Else-Tells Some Things Which Will Interest the Voters of
 Coconino County.

10 the CltlZen or COcOnln0 COunly
 A few of my most bitter politi- cal enemies, with a view to injure me, are circulating from the stump, Phoenix Enterprise and through other sources. the report that l have stolen thousands of dollars from this county in making ab- stracts.
 It has been my intention to treat their attracts with silent contempt, but on the request of a number of my true and wet weather friends [ have decided to speak.
 First: In August, 1902, when the relinqushment of the grant lands was started, the Board of Su- pervisors of this county, consisting of George Rabbit, James c. Phelan and T. E. Pulliam, made contract with me (which is of record in the minutes of the Board of Supervisors) that if could get out the abstracts without expense to the county, that l could have what ever could make out of it. Said contract showing that in their opinion the abstract could not be made for the legal fee of SIPS each. The com panies who owned the land also knew that the work could not be gotten out for the legal fee, and voluntarily paid me an extra one dollar and twenty-five cents on each abstract.
 1 did the work and paid all my deputies, clerks and stenographers out of my own pocket, and every abstract that was turned out by me cost me Sl.90. 1 employed the best help that 1 could secure and paid them well, out of my own pocket, and thereby instead of taking anything from this county saved them 65 cents on each ab- stract. and out of the extra SIPS, voluntarily paid me by the owners, relinquishing the land 1 made 60 cents on each abstract. In addition to this received from Thos. De- vine. Treas. and Geo. Hoxworth, Treas, 25c of the 75c that they re- ceived for their certificate for said abstract. This was paid me by them for searching their own rec ord and for making their certif- cate. This would give me not from the county but from the own CTS relinquishin0 said lands and from Thos. Devine, $0.95 in all on each abstract and the county, by the benefit of my energy and ex- perience, saved 60c on each ab- stract, and got their recording done and the fees thereon for nothing.
 If the peopl, who are prosecuting me were fair they would at least, if they had one drop of honest blood m their veins. give me some little credit for what the records show l have done. to-wit:-

telligent way ever since. In this ]. also refer you to the same Boar'l of Supervisors and to the Public Examiner of Arizona, who staled to me that no county in Arison had the records of the Recorder and Board of Supervisors ill as good shape as Coconino County.
 My prosecutors do not say that am incompetent, and l am proud of that, but they do say that no one can look at the recordJ of my office. The people who have had business in my office can best an- swer that it has never been too late at night or too early in the morn ing for me to get out of bed and go to my office to accommodate friends, enemies or strangers. Since l have been in office have drawn up more papers for both rich and poor, than all the lawyers in Coconino county, and never yet have charged a man penny for such wo~k or for my notary acknowledgment or seal, and l thank God that there are hun dreds in Coconino county who know it, and the work in my office is up to date and kept that way.
 One of my prosecutors in his speech last Saturday night in the court room said that the County Treasurer, T. Devine. told him, that poor women shed tears when they paid taxes assessed against them." 1 asked Mr. Devine about his statement today, and he said it was in 1904, and when he told me who it was, it proved to be the wife of a man that today would walk a hundred miles to vote for me and who has always come to "Old Fatty" when he wanted assistance and he never went away empty handed.
 The prosecutors, even in their democratic convention, stated that 1 had bought band of goats. Have 1 not the same right to buy band of goats as any one? But they would have you think I stole the goats. l have not only bought band of goats, the prosecutors re- ferred to, but 1 have bought and sold several bands of goats, and hall continue to do so as long as 1 can buy them right and sell them at profit.
 When l started in the goat business, 1 did not have a dollar, but l did have true friends and ,redit that was worth having and nave them both today. 1 made ,ome money as Recorder, but the largest part that have made as Recorder, and also in the goat bus mess, has gone to do good for others. and as long as 1 can be of assistance to others l will feel that I am doing some good in this world and will be happy.
 Before l close l wish to say one word in regard to taxation, and the much persecuted supervisor, Frank Poison, who has a heart in as him large as an OK and has never been known to turn down a worthy man in distress.
 First: You will observe that the there is one large corporation that is fighting both Frank Poison and myself. Why? Because they have been ass ,ssed somewhere near on the basis of the poor man. They do not like it, they prefer to grow rich and richer on the labor of the poor man, and after doing that they want him to pay their taxes. Being unable to handle the Board, p I l O AL A

Value of Small Talk

It may be that the philosopher
who Wrctc "Silcncc is Golden was
justified OF MS writing; but in So
cictv speech is the only currency.
Small talk is the small change OF
everyday existence. 1t smoothcs
ones wall; through lie, makes in
Productions easy, bcspcaks the
confidence OF men, opens the way
to the hearts OF women. 1t buys
the interest OF those who otherwise
remain apart. Just as the chance
shilling judiciously applied will Sc
cure for the mean man the reputa
ton OF generosity, so the proper
phase glibly inserted will gain for
the mediocre mind the merit OF i'll
tclligcncc. No man can afford to
travel without a pocket full OF bak
shish small coin to lubricate the
joints OF listless servants; no man
may dare to enter society without
a store of ready conversation
topical observations which insure
the attention of Jagged listeners.
Neither title, nor wealth. nor gen
ius will avail aught il the posses
sor has not the ability to speak
easily upon those subjects that
most interest siciety. Talk is the
Trinkgeld OF social intercourse.
But, lust as the copper coin Of
ones desultory charity must bear
the stamp OF the country in which
it is dispensed. so must one table
talk be suited to the society III
which it is passed. The same re-
mark will be accounted witty in
Paris. which in London would be
deemed irrelevant. One must fit
ones conversation to ones COM
pany as one would adapt one $
clothes or ones language.
The provincial speaks to interest
himself, the cosmopolitan talks to
interest his ncighbor. The more
perfect the culture of any society,
the wider will be the range of top
les included i'll its small talk. 1t is
an unfaiing standard whereby to
measure the refinement of a peo-
pie. Society is known by its
small talk. The man in the vii
lage shrinks from the table talk of
the rural community, its petty de-
tails of cows, and grass, the har-
vests. The man of the town shuns
the chatter of the village and Cos
sip Of the parson and the Judge.
The citizen shrugs his shoulders
at the municipal politics of the
townsman and the metropolitan
abhors the business interests of
the man OF the city of factories.
The wider the horizon the more
general the conversation.

Impoverished Soil

Impoverished soil, like impov-
erished blood, needs a proper
fertilizer. A chemist by analvz-
ing the soil can tell YOU what
fertilizer to use for different
products.
If your blood is impoverished
your doctor will tell you what
you need to fertilize it and give
it the rich, red corpuscles that
are lacking in it. 1t may be you
need a tonic, but more likely you
need a concentrated fat food,
and fat is the element lacking
in your system.
There is no fat food that is
so easily digested and assimi-
lated as

Having been in the school business
for sixteen years, finding that the
majority of people are inclined to try
to run every school in the community,
whether they nave been appointed
to do so or not, and believing that
matters should be placed solely
in the hands of competent directors,
we desire to write, saying:
Mr.. Meddler, did you eve stop to
consider, that The Woolverton Prac-
teal Business College Co. is not mea-
ly-mouthed about anything, and al
ways acts deliberately?
Have you considered that we pad
die our own canoe, that we need no
help, That we own an interest in
leges in the United States, that we
have absolute control of six of them,
and are in position to do whatever
we desire, but hat we are a little
careful about spending our own mon
ey in any town where local men are
hard to interest?
We often open colleges in towns
where we are expected to blow in
| some cash and leave town" This al

and dance begins; we preferring to

were young, that there would Away:
