Of his poitica! theories run to an ex-
treme of radicalism and eccentricity
that is far from the old time basis
Of Democracy This might make him
popular with certain element In the
northern cities, but such ideas in
presidential candidate would be GER
tain to cause a violent conservative
reaction in the South.
If Mr.. Johnson should defeat Con-
gresham Burton fer the mayors Of
flee in Cleveland, which is by no
means improbable, that fact might
give him boost as a presidential
candidate, but independent Of his po-
htieal beliefs he does not measure up
to the presidential standard. His tive
attempts to- be elected governor Of
Ohio were fassos, despite his spec
tacular cireus tent campaign and The
oratorical support # Mr.. Bryan. He
has been failure in politics in anv
broad field than that of the munich
pality, and his success there was
chiefly due to his advocacy Of Scent
street railroad fares. IIe is in no
sense large man off Of the hay
scales, and though he might be ac-
ceptable to both Mr.. Bryan and Mr..
Hearst, and thus prevent split in
the radical elements Of the Democrat
ie party, there could be no possible
chance for his election. The long
prophesied break in the solid South
would be forcibly realized if Tom L.
Johnson should be the Democratic
nominee Banner.

TOM L. JOHNSON.

It is said that MI. Bryan's prefer
ence for the Democratic nomination
for the presidency should he himself
decline the nomination would be May
or Tom Lotion Johnson, Of Cleveland.
The contingency that Mr.. Bryan may
decline the nomination is a rather re-
mote one. EIis present following
within the party is so patiently strong
that it seems he can have the nomina-
ton for the asking, and his only
reason for declining it would be fear
that the Hearst lisaffection might
make certain his defeat. This idea at
least has been broached, but Mr.. Bry-
an has never shown any great dread
OF defeat. He came out Of his two
experiences Of that kind-the last
worst than the first-with great
cheerflllness and remarkable resil-
ience and turned the advertising he
had gained to personal advantage
But should Mr. Bryan for any rea-
son put away personal ambition, he
would not be able to foist his Cleve-
land favorite on the Democratic party.
The South has stood for more radical
departures than would have been
thought possible twenty years ago, but
1t would revolt at Tom johnson,
though he is Of Southern birth. Tom,
besides believing in government own
srship OF railroads, which the South
would tolerate in no one except Mr..
Bryan, is a strong supporter Of The
Henry George single tax idea, and all

Watson s facts" greatly dims the
glory Of Jackson S Indian wars. In
speaking of the Indians, he says:
Poor creatures! What chance did
they have to win the fight and keep
their honest None at ALL" He sums
up the situation as follows:
General Claybourne was III the
field with AN army; General Floyd
came across the Clattahoochee from
Georgia with an army; and General
Jackson led so many Tennesseeans
and friendly Indians that his biggest
difficulty during the whole Greek war
was the feeding Of his men. The hos
tile Indians, it would seem, never did
muster more than 1000 warriors for
any one battle, while Jackson Is army
alone-not counting friendly Indians
ranged from 1000 to 5000. In
fact, Jackson's triumph over the
Creeks does not rank as military
exploit much above the Manila bay
affair in which Dewey knocked over
those old Spanish tubs. THE Inves-

PoPULIsT CONFERENCE.

A conference Of the national COM
mittee Of the peoples party will be
held at st. Louis, November %, 1907,
and to this all members Of the par
ty and all friends Of the principles
embodied in the Springfield platform
of 1904 are invited. The toiling and
producing classes are especially in
vited-members Of labor and farm
organizations, municipal ownership
leagues, the Reform Press association,
national provisional committee, the
federal peoples party clubs, etc.
The purpose of this meeting will
be to strengthen the reforms repre-
sented by the peoples party, plan
for the campaign of 1908, and to
take whatever action may seem need
full. There are important reasons
why early action should be taken.
While our cause has prospered be-
yond expectation, there is much un-.
finished work that can be advanced
by no other party, for the old parties
do not originate or initiate.
A political party in many years
has not made so great an advance
ment, secured so many victories. The
Springfield platform was wholly pop
uistic. Every plank was populist
plank, and as a whole by popuhsts
was considered a radical document.
In three years, however, these princi-
Piles, with one exception, have be-
come public property, advocated end
advanced by members Of all political
parties. Their complete triumph is
already assured. Observe the list:
Postal savings banks; the right Of
labor to organize; the abolition Of
child labor, convict labor and the
sweat shop; the demands for the pub
lie ownership of the railroads, tele-
graph and telephone; the eight-hour
day; direct vote for United States
senator's; initiative and referendum.
A splendid catalogue, and their adop-
tion will be as speedy as the public
will be educated to utilize the meas
ures economically.
Our remaining plank, the money
question, is well advanced. The
quantitative theory has been accept
cd by government departments, the
banks and the market reporters. 1t
is now regarded as a true princi-
pie of political economy. But recog-
nition is one thing and adoption an
other. This is our principal plank,
Watson's weekly Jeffersonian., 1907-10-24

"
ter warfare behind us it is not to be
expected the end shall come without
q struggle.
Again, the question Of o basis
arises. The annual production Of
gold is now so great another basis for
currency is being sought by our op-
ponents. Both in Africa and Amer
lea there are large areas producing
gold as evenly and surely as farmer
may estimate his harvests. The
acreage value is known and estimates
Of production for hundreds Of years
may be made with fair accuracy.
Gold will not buy as much Of the
other products Of the earth as for
merly. Gold is no longer king, and
thus the demand for q new basis.
When this is adopted, it must not
mean again the confscation Of the
property Of the producing classes, as
in the past. When that basis is de-
termined there will be need Of sci
ence and populists in attendance
A new peril arises, rather an old
peril in an aggravated form, the
stock exchange, better known as Wall
street. Recently the bears have at
tempted to instruct the president Of
the United States, and The incident
again teaches us that industries are
often in the greatest peril. Here is
an organization entitled to no more
respect or consideration than the old
pirates of the Atlantic. Compared to
bucket shops, except in reliability,
their business is identical, but far
more disastrous. They destroy in
dustry, levy tribute upon all honest
commerce and enforce untold power
ty upon the toilers. The populist
party alone will take up this work
the reorganization Of the financial
machinery, the punishment Of the pi-
~ratical, ths liberation Of ths en-
slaved.
The world now does honor to the
popuist. Denounced these many
years as agitators, disturbers and
mischief makers, the populist is now
esteemed for his loyalty, honesty, his
sound political economy, and his
staying qualities.
And the nation keeps apace. Pure
food, public health and sobriety, the
reclamation Of the desert, the protec-
ton of the forest and coal lands, pub
lie control of the railway lines, and
the improvement of the public water
ways are some Of the vital questions
answered in harmony with the popu-
list character and the populist in
stinct. Others have taken courage,
and it tells us these are great days
and the days for great things.
The rich law breakers, too, are pun
ished some. Public hatred for great
crimes is intense, Thus the tide, the
people, are in our favor, going our
way, promising an easy victory for
scientific currency and the overflow
Of stock jobbing. Show the people
now, and the rest is easy.

FRIENDS OF ZAPEDA
 WANT HIM PAR0LtD
They Believe the Killing of H. A. Me
 Donald Has Been Sufficiently Avenged

A movement is under way to secure a parole for Frank D. Zapeda of Sen rinel, who is serving a seven and a half year sentence in the penitentiary for the killing Of H. A. Mcdonald. a saloon keeper at Agua Caliente early in 1904 A petition for his parole has been re- ceived at the office of the governor but no action has been taken on it yet The petition is signed by eight mem bers of the jury which tried Zapeda and by ten members Of the grand jury which indicted him. The petition sets forth his previous good character. his good conduct while in prison. the fact that he has wfe and six children and the circumstance that he has served half his term and is sufficient ly punished. Other prominent citizens of Yuma and Sentinel are among the petitioners.
 Zapeda at the time of the killing was deputy sheriff for that part of the county and had in fact held that office for several years under various administrations. The killing took place in the saloon of McDonald There were no witnesses and Zapeda pleaded self defense but the plea was not sup ported by the circumstances. No weapon was found about the saloon and persons who were on the outside

ADJUSTMENTS

Requests are being made every day by the people of Phoenix who failed to witness the performance of the side splitting comedy "Charley's Aunt" [" presented by the Walter llsh stock company on the 18th. 14th and 18th of this month at Eastlake park, to repeat the bill as all those who attended Ga good many all three nights) were sC pleased with the work of the amateurs of Phoenix and have told others that they are earnestly requested to play and wOuldNe assured of a good house.

 PRINCESS" PRESERVED
A Fine Exhibition by Eighth Grade
 Pupils.

Seldom has a theatrical troupe vis- 1 tied Phoenix which did as good work
 or gave as much satisfaction as the Grammar school graduates did last
 night in "The Princess
 As the prince. Ben Kimber simply outdid himself. His perfect poise. his entire self control and his fine acting all combined to make a most excellent stage presentation. His motions were exceedingly graceful. and as express sions of hope. despair and triumph
 followed each other on his handsome face. even those who knew him best,
 were surprised beyond expression, at
 his ease of manner. the accuracy of
 his lines and the versatility of his ac-
 ton. His singing was a fine feature,
 and well done. adding much to the ex-
 pression of the play. As "Florian,'
 George Eberle did some very fine
 work, fully sustaining his own part,
 and heipfully sustaining the part of the
 prince. whose intimate friend he rep
 resented. George Campbell took the
 part of Cyril very well. really magni-
 flying a part that had but little speak
 ing by his spirited interpretation of the character. The king was made a
 very dignified and naughty magnate by Justus Goebel He has a fine speak
 ing voice and his lines were given with spirit and good expression. Har- ry Hughes fully looked the nobleman he represented. and his quaint costume was very becoming. He spoke clearly and well. The attendants were digni- fled and graceful, and added much to the stage setting of the court scene.
 But to come to the ladies: Too much cannot t.e said of Amy Whites pre- sentation of 'the Princess She was noble in bearing. clear of speech, graceful in gesture. calm and possess ed in manner. in short, she played the part perfectly in every way and more cannot be said. Bernice Stewart made a fine Lady Psyche, speaking as much by the elOquence of her expressive face as by her voice. Lady Blanch professor in the university, was play ed by Bertha Graves. and one forgot that she was "only playing" because she ms de her part so real, and entered so fully into the spirit of it. She for got he rself entirely in the intensity of her interest in the character Melissa was splendidly done by Palline Reno. who fitted her part with remarkable ability. Her acting in Scene V, was especially fine. where she pied with the masquerading nObleman to leave their quarters for safety. She not only acted well. but also looked well. Dor othy Elder as "Violet'' was a sweet and modest little maiden. and sang a dainty little song in the last act, which justly received hearty applause. She was accompanied by Miss Claudia

in a continuous uproar from start to finish. Sir Francis Chesney. a part played by James Foushee was the best acting ever done by an amateur in Phoenix; he was perfectly at ease and theatre-goers will be pleased to see him before the scenes again. Alexan- der Baker as Jack Ohesney and Crate Kohl as Kitty Vernum, two lovers. were exceptionally good. They showed talent and were perfectly self-possess- ed. Mir. Baker has never had any stage experience but he held the attention of his audience from the rise of the cur tain. Miss Kohl is well known as a
 faVorite entertainer her appearance always brings hearty applause and her song Why Don't You Try" was a decided hit. Miss Anna Monohon. the leading lady of the company play ed her part well. the real Dono Lucia De Alvadorey. She is a talented young lady and has played with success.
 If this play should be repeated it would be wise for everybody to go and enjoy a good entertainment and a hearty laugh as this Is the best anna teur company that ever played in Phoenix. Three or four have had con siderable stage experience having. played with successful stock compan- ies now on the road but most of the cast are all new beginners and are credit to any amateur who ever played here.
 The members of the company are: Walter Walsh. James Foushee. Alex ander Baker, Anna Monohon. Grace Kohl, Lester OLeary. Marie Clausen. Harris Thompson, Maclain Christif- ferson and Josephine Zannetti.

heard Mcdonald speak in a remOn- strating rather than a threatening tone of voice. The case of Zapeda was made worse by threats he had been heard to make shortly before he went To the saloon.
 The trouble came up over a letter which the wife of Mcdonald had writ ten to him informing him of advances which Zapeda had made to her. Za- peda denied that he had made such advances and said that the woman was impelled to write the letter believing that Zapeda would tell him of certain of hers which had come under the notice of Zapeda at Sen tinel one night when the woman stob- ped there on her way To Gila Bend.

He says the forest re- serves in Arizona were very un- popular when first instituted, and the eattlemen strongly objected to them, but since they have been pay ing rent, and are sure of their pasture. and cannot be imposed on by having other cattlemen drive OH their range, they like the forest re. serve better than they did the old way of grazing cattle on the public land.
