SOME of the democratic newspapers
of Arizona, in their misrepresenta-
ton and vilification of republicans
and republican newspapers on the
statehood question are doing good
work for jointure. Even the ERA
has been accused of favoring jointure,
which every reader of the paper
knows is absolutely an untruth. The
statement eliminated from such a
questionable source, however, that it
will have no other effect than that
of branding it's author as wilful and
malicious prevaricafor.

THE Yuma Sun, which enjoys the
distinction of being the oldest news
paper in Arizona, is now advocating
the joint statehood movement. 1t is
the only newspaper in the territory,
we believe, which has changed front
on this important question since the
act passed congress. Perhaps its
editor is anxious for an appointment
of some kind.

CONGRESS has adjourned, and with
all of it's faults, it has no doubt passed
more good laws in the interest of the
people than any congress in recent
years. Some of these laws are not
all that the people expected, but now
that congress has made start reform
will speedily follow.

THE statehood bill provides that in
case of the admission of Arizona the
new state shall be responsible for
the debts of the various countses,
and as many of the counties of New
Mexico are practically bankrupt the
people of Arizona would then be
compelled to pay this indebtedness,
which would add materially to their
burden of taxation.

The Morenci team went over to
Globe Tuesday to fill an engagement
with the Globe team for the Fourth.
The morning game was played with
the result that Morenci was victori-
Gus by the score of 1O-1. The after
noon game, which was to be played
between Morenci and Globe, with the
understanding that Globe was to haye
Clifton battery, for some reason or
other did not materialize, and a
game was piled off between Clifton
and Globe instead. Globe was pre-
sented with Crandall and Oswald as
a battery and Doran and Marquee
defended Clifton with the result that
Clifton won the game by the score of
Al, being the best game of the
series. Arrangements were made
with the Clifton team to play an
other game today, after which the
locals will come back home.

Many of the newspapers of Arizona
were considerably excited over the
probability of a strike here on the
lst instant. They printed the report
that three thousand miners were
going out on demand for increased
pay, and they apprehended that al
sorts of serious results would follow.
They had the various militia COM
panies of the territory on marching
orders for Morenci and Clifton.
There was really nothing in these
reports. The men employed in the
mills and smelters of Clifton and
Morenci had asked for an eight hour
day, and their demands were COM
piled with, at slight cut in wages,
averaging about twenty-five cents
per day. A change in the hours will
employ a few more men in the
camps. If the miners are dissatisfied
with the wages they are receiving
they have so far given no notice of a
demand for an increase, and from
present indications it does not seem
likely that they will do SO. The
miners of this section are mostly
Mexicans, and they are now receiv-
ing as good or better wages than the
same class of labor elsewhere, hence
it is not likely that they will go on
a strike.

Notwithstanding the fact that the
Clifton baseball team spent Sunday
in Globe the local diamond was the
scene of two interesting games last
Sunday. The morning game was
pulled off between the Lancaster
Colts and the Mexican team. After
the warm-up, which lasted thirty
minutes the players rubbed their
eyes and went to work. The wind
was not blowing any but in spite of
stirred up regular dust cloud dur
ing the entire game. There were
many sensational plays made
throughout the game and the score
was so close that the players were all
greatly relieved when the finish
came and the official scorer an
nounced that the Colts were victor
ious by the score of 6-S. Deck and
Deck composed the battery for the
Colts and after the fourth inning the
pitching was turned over to Danen-
hauer, one of the old has-beens, who
finished the game. The line up of
the Colts was as follows: Fred Deck,
c., Joe Deck, p, and CT, Weis-
becker, 1b, Lancaster, 2b, Erwin, 3b,
Whitley, S., Seigel, If, Danen-
hauer, CT. and p, Riley, r.f. The
most interesting and sensational
plays were pulled off in the last two
innings. In the eighth the Colts
pulled off a double when the result of
the game was in danger for the Colts,
and in the ninth one of the greatest
pieces of work on the diamond took
place. There were two men on
bases when a drive was made to CEN
ter, which was scooped in by Deck
and returned to the infield and after
the ball had been tossed around and
the Mexicans settled down from
trip to the moon, it was discovered
that triple play had been pulled
off and the game belonged to the
Colts. The game proved to be sur
prise from the beginning to the end
and the players who were really ex-
pected to do something proved al
most complete failure at the bat
and showed lack of practice or the
loss of their batting eye. The ex-
cuse offered is that the boys have
not had any practice. Many of the
dark horses came in for good hits
and figured in the rungetting and
really deserve credit for winning the
game. When the old timers get
back into form, the Colts will have a
strong team and will be able to make
things interesting for the Morenci
second nine. Lancaster, the man.
ager of the Colts, held down second
in good shape and worried the right
fielder with several long safe hits.

The Clifton ball team left home
last Saturday and on Sunday played
Globe two games of ball. The games
were rather one-sided and proved to
be easy for the locals. The morning
game, which was pitched by Crandall
and caught by Oswald, proved to be
a regular farce. The result was 2l-O.
The score itself tells the tale-no
other remarks necessary. 1t is re-
ported that Crandall held them down
to one hit. The afternoon game was
pretty much the same as the first
one, with the exception that the Cliff
ton boys stopped when they had
rubbed the plate twelve times.
Globe received another shut-out.
Doran and Marquee were the Clifton
battery and it is said that the vic
tory was too easy.

The Morenci ball team journeyed
to Lordsburg last Sunday and de-
feated their opponents to the tune of
17-2, which would indicate that Don
Kedzie will have another difficulty in
telling how it happened. Don usually
manages to shield his players when
they lose and he has way about
giving the score that usually saves
their reputation. The Lordsburg
team has issued a challenge to the
Clifton second team. The challenge
was for the Fourth, but it was
decided to postpone the game for
another date.

Noll on second was the star of the
game. and showed the boys how easy
it was to stop ball without the
assistance of a nit. He stopped it
with his stomach and coughed
the ball up to first. Anderson on
first held the bag down pretty well
and had things pretty much his own
way. Jacobson on third was there
with the goods and played with a
clear record. Hildreth behind the
bat filled his position with credit but
second base was about ten feet too
far for his throwing. otherwise the
Colts would have been shut-out.
Weisbecker pitched first-class
game and with proper treatment
from the umpire would have won the
game himself. Lancaster, who should
have played with the married boys
played second for the Colts and
pulled off some good plays at his sta
ton, but the sun bothered his eyes at
the bat. His support from the grand
stand was immense. The Colts all
played pretty good ball but the place
hitting of Kerby, Van Dorm and Greer
was too much for them. 1t has not
been decided when the next game
will be pulled off but it is understood
that the Stiffs intend to win, regard
less of who umpires. The Stiffs are
all sore and Hugh Forbes has not
been seen since the game.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inhamed con-
dition of the mucous lining of the Eus-
tachian Tube. When this tube is inham-
ed you have rumbling sound or inper-
feet hearing, and when it is entirely clos
ed, Deafness is the result, and unless the
Inflammation can be taken out and this
tube restored to its normal condition,
hearing will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh,
which is nothing but an infamed condi-
ton of the mucous surfaces.

RENEWED AGITATION.

A great wave of agitation and
comment, pro and con, white and
black. has been suddenly famed
to life by the discharge of the
negro soldiers at Fl. Reno. The
northern press is responsible in
large measure for any criticisms of
the action of the president, as we'll
as the disgraceful conduct of the
northern people who have taken
part in the hue and cry against
the presidential execution"
It has all come about through
an utter lack of knowledge of the
matter and criminal carelessness
in the use-rather, abuse-of the
few facts they do possess and an
apparently Unsuitable desire to
distort and and bewray them.
Doubtless many of these people
have white blood in their veins
and can trace an ancestry back
to a time when they were all
white, but the lives they have led
or the thoughts they have had, or
theirs associations, have depraved
and degraded them to the point
that they are willing, nay anxious,
to believe innocent these negroes
and lay at the door of our people
the crime of murder e0en IN tie
face Of all authenticated or eVen
credible accounts of the affair. 1t is
the call of the blood. They are
saying the things they feel in their
hearts; they know better. The
president is to be commended for
the manly stand he has taken in
the matter and by it he has shown
that he is broad and true and
fearless enough to be president of
the south as well as the north.
By the same token he has been
fortunate enough to win the esteem
and regard of his entire right
thinking and fair-minded people.
With the new wave of exploita-
ton of the subject that is sweeping
over the whole country, will come
a better knowledge and under
standing of the facts that occurred,
and, ultimately, a equalization
of sentiment among all white
white people, upholding and
lauding the action of our presi-
dent
Truth is mighty and will
prevail.
The Brownsville daily herald. [volume] (Brownsville, Tex.) 1897-1910, 1906-11-28

sought relief from Heaven by lay
ing their wants and distresses before
the Lord in frequent set days of
fasting and prayer. Constant
meditation and discourse on these
subjects kept their minds gloomy
and discontinued; and, like the
children of Israel, there were many
disposed to return to that Egypt
which persecution had induced
them to abandon.
At length. when it was pro-
posed in the assembly to proclaim
another fast, a farmer of plain
sense rose and remarked that the
Inconvenience they suffered, and
concerning which they had so of
ten wearied Heaven with their
complaints, were not so great as
they might have expected, and
were diminishing every day as the
colony strengthened; that the earth
began to reward their labor and to
furnish literally for their substance;
that the seas and rivers were found
full of fish, the air sweet, the
climate healthy and, above all, that
they were there in the full enjoy
ment of liberty, civil and religious;
he therefore thought that rejecting
and conversing OH these subjects
would be more comfortable, as
tending more to make them con-
tented with their situation and
that it would be more becoming
the gratitude they owed the Divine
Being if, instead of fast, they
should proclaim a thanksgiving.
His advice vas taken, and
from that day to this they have in
every year observed circumstances
of felicity sufficient to furnish
employment for a thanksgiving
day, which is therefore constantly
ordered and religiously observed.
While Thanksgiving day pros
pered in New England, it was not
until the time of the Revolution
that it became general. Then a
day of national thanksgiving was
annually recommended by congress.
As we now have it, the festival
dates from 1864, when President
Lincoln issued a proclamation for
setting apart the last Thursday in
November of that year as a day of
national thanksgiving.
In his proclamation, Lincoln
said: 1t has pleased Almighty
God to prolong our national life
another year, defending us with
His guardian care against unfriend-
ly designs from abroad and vouch-
sa6ng to us in His mercy many
and signal victories over the enemy
who is in our own household.
Each succeeding president of the
United States has annually pro-
claimed a thanksgiving day, and
this.is generally followed by similar
proclamations by the governors of
the various states.
