Editorial Comment

and forget his errors of free silver and anti.impcrialism. The more pres ent menace to his strength ns a candi. date comes from his ultra radical views regarding the railroads, which he ad. vanced in his Madison Square Garden speech, year ago. Lately, ne has taken great pains Co have it understood that he does not contend for immediate government ownership nor does he favor it at all, until the Roosevelt pol. icy of regulation has been given n far trial. So we have him actually in line with the main features of Roosevelt. ism. and plainly trimming his sails 10 catch the Roosevelt breeze.
 But there must be differentiation somewhere, and Bryan has seized upon the issue of federal achment up. on the rights of the states. He de. clares:
 "The Democratic party must meet the issue presented; 1t must resist the encroachments upon the authority of tue states. It must insist upon the exercise of federal power for the reg. ulation of interstate commerce, and it must insist upon the exercise of state authority for the exercise of all If the power vested in the state. This question mas grown in importance dur. ing the last year and it's prominence will b. increased if any attempt Is made to impair state authority"
 He has in mind, most likely, the attempt to aggrandiEe federal author. ity through new legislation, rather than the federal interference through the courts. such as has developed in North Carolina. But the same principle .s involved, and, ss we have said be. fore, genuine issue, of value to the Democratic, may come from it.
 MT Bryan again praises the Prcsi. dent, intimating that both stand on practically the same platform. Bryan could not be elected with either Roose. welt or Taft as the opposing eandidats. Wherefore, representing e they do, the same principles according to che Commoser-the logical ticket would bc Roosevelt and Bryan, or Taft and Bryan. Let us have another "era of good feelins," such a the country nx. perienecd % years ago, and make 1t unanimous for the Double Bill-Bill Taft and Bill Bryan.-Los Angeles News.

Opponents Declare The Petition Is Not
 Regular
Protest Is Registered Against A New
 Court House
(From TuesdAy's Daily.)

Thfce hours of the afternoon session of the regular monthly meeting of the board of supervisors, yesterday, was taken up with the consideration of Q petition asking that local option cleo. ton be ordered, to be held in four townships, embracing part of 1tas Camp Verde precinct. The petition was warmly supported by Rev. Eugene Keenc of Camp Verde and Attorney T. c. Norris of this city, and as ardently opposed by George w. Hance, justice of the peace nt Camp Verde, and At- torney Leroy Anderson.
 Attorney Norris, in his address, ar. gucd that the petition was drafted ac. cording to law, and Attorney Ander. son, wao represented three parties in the matter, declared that the petition was not n legal one, for the reasons that it did not describe the boundaries of the precinct and that its signors had given no addresses.
 Justice of the Peace Hance, in his description of the boundaries of the Camp Verde precinct, stated that 1t ex. tended from Cottonwood to tho Mari- copa county line, in n northcrly and southerly direction, a distance of sev. cnty'Ave miles, and from Dewey to tho Coconino county line, sn approximate distance of about fifty milss. He did not oppose the calling of . local option eletcion, but stated that provided the matter of closing the saloons carried, there was nothing to prevent anyone from starting 5aloon within few miles of Camp Verde, where there was no justice of the peace and no oaicers to enforce the law. Mr. Hancs, in his remarks, repudiated tho imputatiop made, viz; "That hs was subservient to the saloon element," and challenged the opposition to hold . local option election in the the precinct according to ito legal metes and bounds.
 Further consideration of the matter will como up at tomorrow session, after the arrival home of District At. torney Morrison.
 After tho close of tho debate 1t was agreed by the opposing parties that as election should Dc ordered within the following bounds: ,Connsseins at the mouth of Oak Greek, thence running h . northsaststly direction to aad inelud- ing the Casner .rsnsAse on Beaver Greek. thence in southssly direction sp end including tie Jonss ranch st the Bull Pen on Clear Csssh, .thsuss h . soutAsriy direction to tA1 Brown spring, including tAs J. 2. euliivss ranch, thence in nortAwssssriy dirse. ton to and including the Reeves q Frederick ranch on Cisnees Greek, thence hy way of Cherry Greek falls to the place of beginning.
 A petition, sisned by over fifty tax payers of the Verde Valley, protesting against the building of . new court house, was presented, but was laid over for consideration until today. The petition asks that the money proposed to be expended for the court house un. der contemplation be used towards pay. ing the county indebtedness, and recites that the present sdiAes is large enough Tor the present needs of tho county.

CT which came into notice here last week. As in the case of its Europesn prototype, much discussion has arisen From 1t. The automaton was invented by a contractor named Mansfield. who Found money making in his line of busi. ness too slow. So he const ructed the checker player, which much rssembled an automatic weighing machine with n checker board in front of it and n rubber hand projecting from a copper sleeve over the board. According to the inventor, 1t was operated by cleo. t1city, and all that anyone wishing to play against 1t had to do was to drop n dime in the slot, when, accompanie l by great whirring of wheels within, the hand would move the pieces against those of its human opponent, and, as 1t happened, invariably wins. Mansfield figured that at least one person out of ton played checkers and that of these half figured that they were masters and could beat anyone or anything.

 New York, with it's annual budget
 of more than $50O,00O,0OO, or rather
 more than half the appropriation made
 every year by the federal government
 for all it's branches, would seem to bs
 on it's financial uppers. The city has
 literally been spending its money be.
 fore it got it, and consequently, in
 spite of the half billion which it dis.
 purses annually, finds itself in the
 humiliating position of being unable
 to settle n few small accounts amount.
 ing to the mere triflc of $30O,0OO or thereabouts. To mak. the situation all
 the more painful, there is more than F,OOO,O00 in the city treasury, which money.swallowing Father Knicker. booker cannot apply to these bills. The city indeed stands today as n startling municipal example of the axiom that 1t is we'll to get ones money before spending it, The small accounts which cannot be met arc due to contractors for work done on dock and water main construction. To meet these expenses an issue of corporate stock was au. the attitude of the city being that there would be plenty of time to raise the money in this mannerafter the work had begun. Perhaps therc would if there had been any purchasers of this issue of the city's securities. Unfortunately, there were none. The money in the city treasury cannot be used for expenditures specially pro. vided for by corporate issues and con. Sequently Father Knickerboeker is rather ruefully aware of the fact that he cannot pay his small bills and that he has been follishly indulgiug in the pernicious psstime of spending money be didn t have.
 The s'ork, this week, brought to New York the tiniest baby in the world, at least Co fer as any records show. Medical men have herstofOrs believed that . pound and half wss about the ninimum limit st which . battle for tho babyS life might be made, but this minute record breaker lips the scales at exactly l9 ounces and l6 grammes, that is, . trifle more than one pound, or about the weight of . good sized potato. Little Miss Brown, for that h her name, measured II inches in height some time after her birth, while from one temple to the distance was just 9 inches. Some idea of her size, or rather, lack of size, may be gained when it is 'tated that a l0-cent piece will cover her hands, both of which will 70 through her mothers wedding ring. A '0-cent piece covers her entire face while her arms are just 3 inches long. that is, about equal in length to the
 little finger of an adult, although their is only that of a lead pencil. Miss Brown is spending the hnt week of her life in an incubator. and as she is perfectly formed and apparently healthy, the doctors believe that she will grow into . woman of normal size. While such microscopic baby would seems to be enough for one 'ity, New York, to firmly establish a record, also boasts the smallest dog in Inc world. The canine weighs less lhan . pound and . half, although full grown, and is said by It's owner to be m excellent watch dog, except for tine Tact that it must almost be held to ono 's 'ar to make it's barking audible.

NEW YORK, Aug. 5.-Chain mail promises To become the popular sum
 mer attire here, and armored automo. bllcs the only safe means of convey. city's reign of terror. Three cold
 bloodcd and dramatic murders before the eyes of thousands in the center of the city in three successive days have served to accentuatc grimly the fact that SO far as the safety of human life is concerned. New York is about on n par with the widest mining camp of
 fiction, and as regards organized murder and terrorism by blackmailing societies closely akin to conditions prevailing in the middle ages. The astonishing pass 10 which things have come is instanced by the lack of notice accorded to any but the most dramatic crimes. Four days after doctor was siranglcd to death on Q populous street, the matter had been forgotten, and the dcprcda. tions of the Black Hand society to whose door at least one murder n week
 has been laid for months. only became worthy of notic, when eliminating in
 the blowing mp of n tenement house containing 200 persons. Battle. mur. der and sudden death seem to be sweep. ing through the city like n p.s,ilence.
 Man hunts for assaulters of children are of daily occurrence in the suburbs, no less than four occurring in one day on Staten Island. The past week shows twenty.two murders and murdcrous as. saults, and deaths labeled as violent, exclusive of accidents, approach close to the one hundred mark. On top of all this comes the startling revelations of tho workings of tho Hunchakist, the Armenian secret society, which brought about the murder of . prominent Ar. menian millionaire, because he refused to be blackmailed, and since nis death has in letters to others of the same race in this city openly acknowledged causing his murder and promised the same fate to others unless they gave large sums of money. Looting banks has become a joke. Only this week robbers held up the teller of a Broad. way bank during tho noon hour, with masks and guns, in true dcsperado style, for the sum of el,OOO. Respect. able citizens arc planning to take mat. ters into their own hands and to de. fend themselves by meeting violence with violence. Altogether 1t makes a very pretty picture. of hot weather con. ditions prevailing in the first city of the land, and lends weight to the ehsrges that something is rotten some. where. One thing seems certain, now. ever, a.d that is that the limit has been reached New York is ripe for \ crusade against prime and criminals which should be long remembered.
