to enter the law Off, es of a well known New

simple case. He was asked by the late James

When this caught his eye he smiled and
said:

Mr. Bonynge DeIves into History.

In the course of his speech the other day against the Philippines tariff bill Mr. Bonynge os Colorado said: All the nations of the earth that have had possessions have gone on the theory that the government has a right to legislate as will be best for each pos session. That was the rule of the re- publican party. I do not think if it had been urged at the time we acquir- ed the Philippines or Porto Rico that we would be compelled either legally Or morally to extend our tariff laws to them and to make it possible that the industries of those tropical countries should come into competition with the industries of our country, that the cheap labor of those semi civilized countries should come into competition with the highly civilized labor of this country, that any political party would have been found which would have been in favor of the annexation of those is lands or any respectable number of people in the United States would have endorsed such a policy"
 one of the supporters of the bill is MT. Dalzel of Philadelphia. Mr. Bonynge quotes the following from a speech by him made in a former ses- sion in an argument on the legal pro position involved in placing a duty upon Porto Rican sugar. Said MT. Dalzell then: "The question of free trade or protection with reference to this little island is one of absolutely no importance but when you come to say that under the limitations of the constitution you must give free trade to the Philippines, you must incorpor- ate into the body polite 12,OOO, 900 Malays as citizens of the United States I call a halt. I am not willing to see the wage earner of the United States, the farmer of the United States put upon level and brought into compe- tition with the cheap, slave labor sa- wage labor of the Philippine archi- pelago."
 MT. Bonynge quotes from a still higher party authority a former re- publican national campaign book as follows: "It, (the Porto Rican bilD was a distinct promise to the farmer that ha need not fear that the re- publican party would permit the cheap labor and the cheap sugar of any tropi- cal territory to be brought in a man. ner which would destroy the infant industry of beet sugar production which the farmers of the United States have under the fostering care of the republican party been building up dur ing the last few years"

AN INSPECTION TOUR
 OF FINAL COUNTY
Looking up Ore for the Big Humboldt
 Shelter.

Messrs. C. F. Finney and F. w. Brooks of the Arizona Smelling com Dany. Messrs. w. A. Drake and r. A. Jones of the s. F. P. G p. Railroad company and Charles Finney Jr., re- turned yesterday from a trip of two or three days through the mining fields of Pinal county, contiguous to the Phoenix & Eastern railroad. They spent last evening at the Hotel Ad- ans, leaving on the Diamond Joe for Wenden, Salome and nearby districts having their private car attached so there would be no inconvenience in the connections at Wickenburg. Thev expect to return to Prescott on Wednesday.
 As was mentioned in the announce ment of their trip over the Phoenix & Eastern, the mining men were going principally to look over the field, form the personal acquaintance of mine ana prospect owners and operators and acquaint themselves with the necessI- ties of the situation that may need remedying in order to insure a con- stantly increasing output of ores from that section for reduction at the Hum bOldt shelter The railroad men ac- companied to study the transportation needs involved in the handling of 2. large tonnage of ore. All of them re- turned enthusiastic with what they had seen. Though the other gentle men have been more or less frequent visitors to these parts it was the firS= visit of MT. Finney, who is the gen eTal manager of the Arizona Smeltins company, or Humboldt smelter. He was gratified with the promising con- dttions and proposed increased faciIi- ties and was greatly impressed with the general features of the PinaI coun- ty districts. Both he and MT Brooks are convinced that Pinal county will Tn the near future be known as one oC the great mining counties of the terri 1 tory and that means of the entire west for in a general way all of Ari- zona is a vast mining field.

Send on Achievements.

In dispatches to The Republican from Washington, MT. Charles .. Ran dolph has repeatedly urged that more Arizoniaus of influence go to Wash ington and assist in the joint state hood fight. It is true that there is II comparatively small but strong dele gation there but the work is of SC great a magnitude that a half score Of men can not perform it so well as a much larger number.
 MT. Randolph, who, being on the ground is in full understanding of the needs of the situation. The importance of q large representation of strong men from this territory is easily ap- parent One of the most effective ar guments against the statehood bill is the solid opposition of Arizonians against tointure with New Mexico. The congressman have been told that such an opposition exists and then they have been told that there is not serious op- position. They would be impressed by the presence of a large delegation made up of leading men from all parts of the territory representing it's varied inter ests.
 The absence of such a delegation might he accepted by some congress- men as proof of a degree of disinter- estedness here on the statehood sub ject.
 The conditions in the territory and the various objections to joint state hood should be made known to the congressrRen. Those seen by the Ari- zonians vho gre now there will of course be fully informed but it will be almost impossible for so few delegates to see and talk in sufficient detail with so many congressman. Beside some of those who are now in Washington will have to leave for. home within a week Or two and their places at least should be immediately filled.
 Dispatches from Washington indi- cate that the struggle is going to be a long one, extending perhaps through a considerable part of the session. In all this time, though victory for Ari- zona HOW seems assured exertion should not for an instant be relaxed.

tween the town team and a nine

While the game was not without
errors there were some very good
plays on both sides. and the town
team showed a marked improve
ment over the Sunday before. At
the end of the first half of the
ninth inning the game was con-
cluded, the town team having eight
scores while the soldier boys could
not show up but 5. The game
was good natured throughout, and
while there was the usual amount
of 'guying," it was all well taken,
and no one got real mad. Sergt

his decisions appeared to be very
satisfactory.
