CENTRAL COM- M|TTEE MEETS
 SATURDAY
Democrats Have to Fill Vacan- cies of Chairman and Secre- tary, Both Left Open by designations.

The democratic central committee of Cochise county is 10 hold it's first meeting. preparatory to the opening of the fall campaign in the Copper Queen hotel on Saturday evening next. This is in pursuance of call which has been isued for some time past by Chairman NJ J. Cunningham.
 While much work of importance will present itself to the committe. the principal work lies in the choice of a Chairman to take the place of the present incumbent. NJ J. Cunningham. whose resignation has been in the hands of the committee for the past year.
 Besides the election of a chairman, the office of secretary also has to be filled. that office having been vacated hy Louis B. Sroufe who has not re- sided in Bisbee for more than year.
 There is much conjecture on the part of the politicians as to who will be chosen to fill these positions.
 In view Of the strenuous campaign that is promised, many details of im- portsnce will have to be gone over by the committee.
 It is said that there will be large attendance of democrats from remote parts of the county, and that the prac- tice of the proxy will not be so much in evidence as has been noticed on the part of the republican party here.

WASHINGTON, July 1S.-Represen, tative George F. Burgess, of Texas, a close personal and political friend of Senator Bailey, said at the Metropoli' tan that the Senator was not to be considered in the race for the presi, dency.
 Tt is undoubtedly true.' said he, that the Democrats in Congress would be practically unanimous in hailing with delight the nomination of Senator Bailey for president in 1908; but they know that the party can not and will not urge his nomination. because of the section of country with which he is identified.

Once Held q Key.
Once, and only once, SO far as / am
aware, Minnesota did exert tremen-
dous influence on national affairs, and
one would naturally think that the little
taste of reputation on the national scale
which it then had, would have called
for more, but it has not. When John
Goodnow, forspurely selfish reasons, as
it afterwards was learned, making up
his mind that Mckinley was likely to
secure the presidential nomination In
1896, concluded to give him Minnesota,
the14eyes Of the entire country were
ixed on the northwest. Minnesota, un.
der Goo now q masterful leadership, got
the front of the stage and held it for
several months, and finally delivered
her votes to Mckinley at q time which
permitted her to claim that she had set
the McKinley band wagon in motion.
What was done then in the way Of at
tracing national attention might be
dor again and again, and yet there
seems absolutely no sentiment among
the local leaders in favor Of this broad
sening Of: horizon and interest and larger
participation in public affairs.

To Helb-To Assist.

To help is the generic term, and
expresses a single act; to assist is
specific term, and expresses q
mode of helping. A man is helped
at his labor; assisted in any intel
lectual pursuit. Help is more inn
mediately wanted than assistance.
Help is wanted in labor, dangers,
difficulties, etc.; assistance is re-
quired in the pursuit of some
study, or the performance of some
work. When man is attacked by
robbers, he calls for help, not for
assistance. He who rescues man
in this situation from danger helps
him; but if he should do more
if he should second his endeavors
to put the ruffians to flight, or to
capture some of them, he assists
him. In fine, he who is suffering
is helped; he who is doing is as
sisted.

What we haze does not always
belong to us, and therefore we
cannot dispose of it according to
our will. We have entire power
over what we possess, and it is con-
tinually shifting, as money, which
circulates in all classes of society.
What we possess is permanently
our own, as an estate or house.
We are masters of what we possess,
but not always of what we have.
To have is the generic term; to

Poetry---A Throb Of
Fiction.


ANCE upon time in the dim
and misty past, before the
traditions of a bygone race
became hoary with antiquity,
I had beautiful dream. I
dreamed / was the poet laureate
of the fairyland of Fantasma. l
am not sure whether it was Fan
tasma; but I will call it that be-
cause 1t sounds nice, poetical-I
might say grandiloquent. and even
mysterious. There seems to be a
glamour of romance thrown around
it; veil of mystery enshrouding
it, we'll suited, I thought, to grace
the portals of the fairy realm.
It was peopled with nymphs
and gnomes; traversed by limpid
streams; and dotted with sparkling
fountains, shimmering in the sub
dued light, filtering thru the in
terstices of the emerald foliage;
while the dull murmur of a silvery
cascade, family musical, sounded
thru the sylvan glades. Knolls
and terraces, unique and pictur-
esque, were all clad in their royal
livery of Towering plants of many
hues. It was simply gorgeous!

of Killarney and the hanging gar

about the enchanted dells and fairy
grottoes, communing with nature
and the beautiful nymphs [ met
in my rambles.
I invaded the sacred precincts
of the great council cavern of the
fairies. It dazzled with myriads
of sparkling gems that encrusted
the walls from pit to dome; it con-
tanned galleries of ivory and gold
and supported by columns of ala
baster; and stairways of the purest
of marble and balustrades of the
richest of bronze. Oh! these fai-
ries were certainly up-to-date. It
was plain to be seen that no cap
tain of industry had ever sojourned
in that locality. Reluctantly leav-
ing all this magnifcence, [ pad
died across the ice-cream lake, in
a dainty cut-glass canoe, with
silver spoon to the cigarette grove.
Here I climbed the rock-candy
mountain and explored the sponge
cake cavern, carrying away with
me good-sized chunk of the cav
ern for souvenir. [ had a quiet
siesta at the lemonade springs,
then, greatly refreshed, I passed
on, RECALLING myself at the soda
water fountain, gently murmu r-
ing between gurgles; "This is the
place for a poet"
AS I passed thru the bower of
melody, where the blue birds sang
their glad refrain, the orb of day,

deur was slowly sinking below the
western horizon, as it always has
done about that time of day for
j the last seven million years. [
thought 1 would mention this fact,
as it is we'll to keep track of those
things. Soon the cool shades of
evening spread their mantle over
the surroundings; the twittering
of the feathered songsters ceased,
and a deathless silence broods
over the stiffness. Again I num-
bled: "This is the place for a
poet" Here, everything was pro-
vided in lavish splendor to delight
the soul of the most fastidious
and poetical poet. The rural SIM

Everything lovely for poet to
feast his frenzied eyes on.
I have observed in this world
that poetry and money never
travel hand in hand down the
pathway of life. The true poet
spurns filthy lucre, then goes
hungry for dinner. He often
goes to bed on the city's scales,
using ladder for blanket. But
here in this sylvan retreat no
money was needed, and the duties
were light. Just eat sponge-cake
and ice-cream and write poetry.
But could I write poetry? If 80,
the rest would be easy. The
thought made me feel rather sick.
Maybe it grows on trees, but |
hadn't noticed any. [ began to
lose my equipoise. My nerve was
going out of commission. My
self-confdence wanted to resign.
It was poetry or bust. In frantic
haste 1 searched the confines of
this sylvan-gladed, fairy grottoed
paradise, but no poet tree could l
find. So I concluded to surround
the caramel patch, fill my pockets,
and then jump the country, for l
was an interloper in this beautiful
land. At the very first Jump 1
landed against stone wall which
[ had not noticed before; but that
bump caused me to sit up and
take notice. I was awake, very
much so; and the stone wall was
still there.
Of course, all this was a dream;
but 1t gave me an idea. Poets
occasionally get ideas, and my idea
was to be an expert on poetry, to
insert an ad and make poets by
mail. I therefore began to read
up on poetry. [ recited poetry all
day and dreamed about it all night.
I manufactured it in my sleep.
It was good poetry, too, but 1
could not get it copyrighted.
Then proceeded to draft a few
specimens while awake, but it was
not SO good as the nocturnal arti-
Gle. I continued my researches
in this prolific field of genius,
burning midnight oil, until the oil
gave out. There was lull in the
proceedings, for the price of oil
had gone up. But, strange to re-
late, the price of poetry had gone
down.
However, I persevered in my
chosen field of endeavor, and not
until I had mastered every detail
did I rest from my labors. I was
now fully competent to hand down
a decision on the gentle art. l
