A FIRST NIGHT AUDIENCE.
The Crowd That Makes Up New
 YOrk'S Famous "Deathwatch.''

The Crowd That Makes Up New
 YOrk's Famous "Deathwatch."
 It would be difficult in line to say just what the character of the first night audience in New York city is. There are the critics, of course, a dozen or so of rather subdued and timorous looking little men who wander lone somely about. not seeming to have the courage to speak to anybody outside ly followed by the vengeful glances of some hurt actor
 Aside from the assortment of young milliOnaires who like the theatrical at mosphere. the main constituency of the first night audience is the profession and the allied arts. the criminal law yers. managers. packers of shows, etc.
 In the early part of the season there will always be number of well known actors and actresses who have not yet gone to work and who are enjoying their vacations. much as the engineer does during his two weeks rest in Au- gust, by spending it at the rOundhouse the tnedter
 And this in general constitutes the aggregation that has become famous, or infamous, ill theatrical circles as the "deathwatch." They are supposed to be very difficult body of people to please, but, as a matter of personal eX perience, l have not seen q first night in ten years that has not been rio;ous ly and foolishly enthusiastic, no matter how worthless the offering was
 At some of the worst failures of the season l have seen the star called Le fore the curtain q dozen times in the evening, the author and the manager obliged to make speeches of thanks for the great reception, while the floral! tributes gave the whole thing the at mosphere of hospital on visiting day -DelincatOr

A SPLENDID ADVERTISING OPPOR-
 TUNITY

The coming of the Fifteenth National Irrigation Congress to California offers fo the people of thls State splendid opportunity to advertise the attractions and advantages of this State as a place for settlement. The news papers and magazines of the country are already devoting considerable space to the irriga- ton congress and as the time for 1t draws near it may reasonably be expected that pages and pages and pages of matter will be de- voted to it. In all this matter, some reference to the city and State where 1t is to be held will be essential aud this wide spread discussion of irrigation and of irrigation in California will pre- pare the public mind for consid- eration of matters which it is California's interest to present strongly.
 The story of what this State is and what 1t has to offer to the in- vestor and homeseeker is one that can only partially be told in the publicity that will come as a matter of course, or through the agency of a we'll conducted news bureau. To secure the best re- suits and to take reasonable ad- vantage of the interest bound to be created by published articles, there should be an organized, comprehensive campaign of paid advertising, a campaign in which the advantages of this state may be pl esented in a business way for business purposes.
 This is a time wien the public snind is sure to be more largely

 In taking up the telephone proposition as we do this week, it is not the aim of the Press to knock any existing enterprise anywhere ill the Imperial valley. The Press would much rather be found trying to defend any com pany from attacks, but it would seem that in this instance there has been ample time in which the present system could have been put in first-class shape instead of being allowed to remain as 1t has. There is no question but what this is the greatest telephone country on earth and nearly ev- cry farmer in the valley is sub while the usefulness of tine system is very small. We firmly believe that the employees here do all they can to make the system as efficient as possible but even that does not do away with the fact that valley farmer may leave his home and go to Los An geles with the understanding with his family that he will tele- phone upon his return to the town nearest home so someone may drive in and get him; but when he does come back. two or three days later and endeavors to as per arrangement, he is told the line is out of order and he either has to walk home or else hire livery rig at cost of B to $4. This not only happens once iu awhile, but frequently. Now let there either be extensive in the old system or else let's have new one.

Ii is to be hoped that the members Of the territorial council will not al low themselves to be frightened into voting against that three-cent rail- road fare bill on account of the repre- sentations being made by the republi- can newspapers of the territory that the measure is an unfair one to the railroads. The railroad lobby seems 10 have exerted wonderful influence on the two republican papers at the territorial capital and these papers are working overtime to save the face of the lobbying railroad attorneys who are lowering around Phoenix. The railroads of the territory have demonstrated their willingness to haul passengers in Arizona for three cents a mile by selling mileage books at that price and for less and they should be estopped from pleading their inability to perform the pubnc
 service for this rate, as it is a rate they made themselves. Public senti- ment applauds the action of the as- sembly in passing the three-cent rail- road fare bill and they will applaud the council if it follows the lead of the assembly in this matter. The
 democratic assembly has passed the
 three-cent railroad fare bill. What
 will the republican council do with it?

GOOD DEMOCRATIC DOCTRINE.

The Prescott Courier, presided over by that old democratic war hors-, Col. Rogers. sends the following re- minder to the Twenty-Fourth Legis- lature. through the columns of the Prescott Courier:
 ,'The soIons in Phoenix who are Introducing exact copies of most ex- esTlent laws in successful operation in states are. without doubt, actual ed by the very best of motives. But the question. and a serious question it Is. arises out of the different cond- ions which surround the government of territory and the government of state. state law which clothes q governor elected by the people with authority to appoint various comnis- sions to regulate state affairs may be expected to be piece of Legal ma cfiinery perfect in it's workings, while the same law in a territory where the people have nothing to do with the choice of their governor may be q positive injury to the people and 1 help to those who from 8 position of vantage oppress the people. It IS well to consider these things. With out any reflection on the present h. icumbent of the governors chair, we hold that a man who holds his offics entirely outside the power and voice of ftke people should not be clothed with the authority of an officer bold
 ing similar position who Is of the
 people. from the people, and selected
 by the people. The appointee of (
 central government which holds u as colonial possession should mol
 have his powers enlarged to any ex.
 tent by the people whom he governs
 without their consent. We suomi
 this as general and correct demo
 cratic principle

The bill for the division of Graham county has not yet made it's appear ance in the legislature, but it is un- derstood that the measure will make it's appearance in due time. It Is pro posed to provide for 8 vote of the people of the county on the question of whether they desire division or not. With the lines properly drawn we are of the opinion that division would carry by popular vote For several years there has been a grow ing friction between the residents of the west and those of the east end of the county of Graham. This feeling was the cause Of the slump in the democratic vote, in the county last fall. A row in the democratic con seution between the delegates from the opposing factions became so bit ter that 1t was impossible to heal the party wound. Politically tine result would be ths making of two demo cratic counties of one wbich is now doubtful, but We are inclined to thins that it would result in higher taxes for all concerned.

President Roosevelt believes the time has come when there should be something done to prevent the con troi of the fuel supplies contained in the undeveioped west falling into the hands of the trusts and recommended that laws be enacted by congress which will conserve the future re sources of the country for the benedt of the people rather than to allow them to be gobbled up by monopoiis tic interests. The president in this recommendation is hitting very close to the mark
