WHICH WILL WIN?

While the time for the holding of the next territorial democra tic convention is still far off, all over the territory there seems to be a sort of restlesaness among the poli- ticians of that faith. Eugene Brady O'Neill, the avowed rival of Mark Smith for the nomination for dele gate to congress, has returned from Washington and is quietly engaged in seeing his friends and making sure that they will be for him when he needs their services. It was long ago conceded that Maricopa county would send a delegation to the convention. instructed for the 6re-6ghting Irishman, but O'Neill is cautious, for all of his seeming wildness, and is not taking any risks.
 Col. Epes Randolph spent yester- lay in the city and whether his visit had any political significance is not apparent. If he interviewed any of the local democratic leaders he did it strictly on the 0. T. But the fact remains that while he was nere he took occasion to state ir- reyokably that he is still for Mark Smith, first, last and all the time.
 He made his statement to a well known politician who, while not an office holder, has been promi. nent in political life, Mir. Ran dolph told him that he didn't care who knew he was for Smith. In fact, he wants everyone to know it.
 eve want to keep Mark in con- gress," he said, land we want statehood just as soon as we can get it. too. l believe he can get us into the union as quickly as any one. And after we get statehood l am for Smith as one of our first senator's"
 It was fairly certain that Ran dolph would not favor the candi- dacy of O'Neill, the foe of railroad corporations, and now it is settled that he is for Smith again, and from the general tone of his state ment it would appear that he is for the gentleman with the Roman cognomen as long as he is this side of Styx.
 The coming battle is sure to be a long. hard-fought contest.-Gazett

Land and Mineral Decisions

(Published by w. D. Harlan, Land Attorney. Washington):
 Coal Lands-A declaratory state ment for coal land is void if prior thereto no coal has been discovered on the land.
 Contest, Practice-A contest may he dismissed when continued by stipulation to day certain and the contestant fails to appear.
 Desert Land-Though it may ap- pear that the productiveness is in- creased by irrigation, such fact does not esta blish the desert char acter of the land.
 Entry-Where, by the decision of the general land office, the right to enter a certain tract is recog- nized, but no time is fixed in said decision within which such entry shall be made, the right so allowed may be lost if not asserted within q reasonable time.
 Townsite, Homestead-Lan n d claimed and selected a townsite and with Improvements thereon for the purpose of trade and busi- ness, is not subject to homestead entry.
 Mineral-Agricultural Land.-The existence Cf gold in non paying quantities will not preclude agri- cultural entry of the land.-Pres- colt Courier.

The Arkansas Razorback

A man who had watched the affair and claimed to know about hogs, razor backs in particular, gave this dissertation:
 "Arkansas has greater variety of hogs and less pork and lard than any state in the union. An aver age hog in Arkansas weighs about fourteen pounds when dressed with it's head on. and about six pounds and a half with its head off. It can putrun a greyhound, jump a rail fence, climb like a parrot, and live on grass roots and rabbit tracks. It hasn't much tail or biistle, but plenty of gall. It can lick a wolf or bear in fair fight. It is SO called a razorback because it is shaped like sun6sh. In hunting razorbacks they are always shot at sideways, for there is not a ghost of show to hit them otherwise any more than to shoot at a split shingle. It can drink milk out of a quart jar, on account of it's long, thin head. This type of ra- zorback is known as the stone hog, because it's head is so heavy and it's nose so long that it balances up behind. The owner of this type of hog usually ties a stone to its tail to keep 1t from overbalancing and breaking it's neck while running. If the stone is too heavy it will pull the skin over it's eyes and it will go blind. ."-Exchange

"Take My Ad Out"

Some weeks ago the First Nation al Bank at Globe stopped adver- tising in the Bulletin. Now look at itI-Solomonville Bulletin.
 Stop my ad" appears to have had deplorable effect on the bank in question. At the time the First National Bank in Globe discon- tinued advertising in the Graha ID County Bulletin. it was apparently in the heydey of it's prosperity. It discontinued advertising and slid gracefully into the hands of a re- ceiver. The cause of the failure, in the mind of the Bulletin, is to he found in the fatal sentence, Stop my ad." A word to the wise Is sufficient.

WAS THERE A REASON?

When the call of the Republican national committee for the national convention was made public it revealed the fact that instead of its customary six delegates, Arizona had been cut down to two, and az vet no reason for the slash has been given. Perhaps there IS no reason. but it would appear to the casual observer that . decision to change the representation of a community to onethird it's custom ary allotment must have been brought about by something more than mere chance.
 In 1896 Arizona was allowed six delegates, and in 1904 the same number. Yet for the convention of 1908 the republican party in Arizona is notified that it will have a representation of but two. The cutting down of our represen- tation, in view of the allotment of the three previous conventions, would seem to call for some expla- nation from those in the councils of the committee.
 The call further provides that if more than the official representa- ton is elected by any state or ter ritory. then that delegation shall he considered as "contesting" and the convention will pass upon the merits of the case. Naturally, if Arizona should send more than two delegates, it would have no vote in the temporary organization. Then if the convention decided that two delegates were all that it was entitled to, these two votes would proba bly, be passed around to the members-one third of a vote to a man. Or two of the delegates might be selected as THE TWO and the other four could look pleasant and watch the pro- ceedings.
 It seems to the Gazette that the best way out is for the territorial convention to select but two dele gates. In other words, do as it is told. It was entitled to six and should have had them, but we take it that it is better to have two dele gates without reproach than six who will be considered as Icon testing" As a matter of fact the Arizona delegation will cut very little figure. for, by the time its name is read. along down toward the end of the list, the nomination of the next president of the United States will probably have been made.
 It would seem to the unenlight- med that Gen. Charles Dick, of Ohio, who held the proxy of National Committeeman Sturger, of Arizona. must have overlooked bet when he allowed the Arizona delega ton to be shot to pieces The eastern press has declared that he was the power that sent the convention to Chicago, and yet Arizona's vote is cut in two. Strange isL't it?-Gazette.

The press dispatches tell of 8 banker or two passing out" daily. There is such thing as taking matters to seriously.
 The Dallas News says, "Only 15,4Of jackasses are being taxed in Texas" Possibly the others have escaped attention by attending strictly to their own business.
 An evangelist has discovered that Phoenix has four saloons foi every church. If the church con- gregations are not too large, the stated ratio should not cause un- easiness.
 "Never be contentious. Concern yourselves with your duties, and your rights will take care of them selves" A little bit of parting ad- vice from general to the gradu- ates of West Point, but applicab able to all men, young and old, college graduates or not.
 An Illinois clerk has demon strated that some men can live 60 days on an exclusive diet of pea nuts. 1tis not quite clear what he has accomplished by the demon stration as most of us would about as soon die as to live sixty days on a straight diet of peanuts.
 An Fl Paso dispatch says: The International Boundary Commis- sion to determine the actual boun- darv line between the United States and Mexico has rendered a decis- ion so that all land south of Seventh street in Fl Paso is now within the borders of Mexico.
 Phoenix is to have a rival in the electric power business. This val ley has been figuring that when the Tonto Basin dam is finished we will have several thousa nd electrical horse power to sell. The party of French capitalists which will harness the power of the Grand Canyon must be reckoned with az competitor.-Democrat.
 The latest decision of judicial opinion affecting gambling is a wide-reaching one, prohibiting newspapers from publishing tips on races. United States Judge Sanders at New Orleans charges his grand jury that to publish tips on races and send the papers through the mails is to render the newspapers liable to indictment and prosecution for furthering plans to obtain money on false pretenses. No decent newspa per will resent this particular intru- sion upon it's alleged rights.
