HERE IS A MAN !
(Tucson Citizen.)

(Tucson Citizen.)
 Our Mark Smith was with us again on Saturday night and what well come he was given by his old friends and neighborsl For several years Pima county has gone republican and Mark Smith has shared the fate of the democratic ticket in this county But when the hand of caiumny was raised against Marx Smith. then our people, knowing his honorable record, knowing his past .ifs and history as only neIghbors in the smaller cities can know such records. rose up as they did on Saturdav night and gave Mark Smith such a ringing endorse nlent of confidence and trust that the wounds of calumny were healed and the shafts of hatred found themselves Gattened on the saining shield of pub lIc confidence.
 t seems useless to describe the scene in the opera house. It seemed as thoagh every Tucsonian was there. And vhen Mark Smith stepped for ward 10 greet his home folks the waves of cheering swept back and forth from the ros.rum to the very curbstones on the street. When Mark Smith struck back at his traducers the opera house shook with the ap- piause. Those cheers. those clapping hands. those fair-faced women who duttered their handkerchiefs at the old lion of Arizona as be barred his teeth all meant one thing and their message was this. We know you. Mark Smith, cur neighbor, and know ing you we trust yrI"

The tenderfoot press have at last turned their attention to the official record of Ralph Cameron. The first witness called to te tify for Cameron was Attorney General Clark, who has been devoting most of his time during the campaign trying to assail the off cial record of Mark Smith, Now call Governor Kibbey and Robert E. and Joe Morrison. They may know some Ralph Cameron; they certainly can ten as much truth about the Gamer on record as they lave about the rec. ord of Mark Smith.

 this county. h fAct. it looks very much now that the only purpose or the Cameron ieade<s in naming the republican candidates in Cochise cvunty was to make them do the, work for Cameron. The tenderfoot press is so busy with Cameron that it has completely ignored the county ticket.

wgLLMAn,s FORECAST.

Walter WelImans forecast of Ohio and Indiana as Bryan states in the November election-a cheerful piece of democratic news.
 Of course. the political prophet is fallibie. but Weilman is a shrewd ob- server and his political predictions have generally come true. In this case his forecast IS strengthened by the fact that 1t is contrary to his de- sires. for he is republican if he is anything in politics.
 Moreover. weilmal's opinion is in agreement with the opinions of many unbiased observers and students ot election indications. The republicans themselves concede t..at Ohio and in diana are doubtful. Two months ago the most sanguine democrat hardly thought 1t possible to carry Ohio and had only faint hope of carrying in diana. The republicans would have booted at the suggestion that Ohio could possibly reject her own son.
 When there is so much opinion one way and so little to the contrary, it does seem that these two heavy states today incline more ta Bryan than to Taft.
 And if that is 50, what may not be expected in other close states, like Illinois, Minnesota, Nebraska and even Kansas. The same conditions that influence voters in one part of the middle west will influence them elsewhere, and if Ohio can be swung into line landslide will not be great ly surprising.
 New York, with its tremendous electoral vote. is i~ class by itself as to strength and local conditions. at the moment, perhaps. 1t is in- clined more to Tatt than to Bryan. but everybody knows that Bryan has gained surprisingly there within the last thirty days, an1 if the gain con tinues the result is more than a Bry- an probability All reports agree that the opposition to Governor Hughes is intense and overwhelming, and it is to be considered that many voter in his zeal to vote against Hughes will scratch the whole republican side of the ticket. The impulse is strong under such circumstances, and Bryan will be the beneficiary of every sucf instance It hardly seems likely that Hughes can lose New York by 150,00o to 100000, as the prophets confident Iy assert, and that the state can still be safe for Taft. Such an anti Hughes momentum is bound to cause great loss to the republican electoral ticket

fore them was the iaan who for twen- ty years has been battling with every force of his powerful personality for single statehood for Arizona. And at last with statehood on the eve Of realization, with victory almost in our grasp. a clique of oiUce holders, with Ralph Cameron as tb-li rippet, would seize from Mark smiths hands the standard of Arizona which was never lowered in the thiekest of the fight That meeting was the protest of Ari- zonans. both republicans and demo crats. at such an act so foreign to our western sense of chivalry and grati- tude. That meeting was an endorse ment of fair play. The voters at that meeting. we firmly elieve. will with their votes on election day. declare. Honor to him 10 whom honor is due" And more than that, Arizon- ans know a fighter. know a states men. and know that Mark Smith, the national figure, the orator, the conf dant of powerful pcrsonages. is bet ter fitted to carry Arizona's standard in the final stormiag of the oppoe.- tor breastworks than Cameron. the weakling and the pdrpet of an office holding clique, intent on holding their fat johs under the appointive system of territorial fora of government.
 Mark Smith, in closing his address, read simply the telegram from w. J. Bryan inviting him so speak in the states of New York, Indiana, Illinois. Ohio and Wisconsin, the pivotal states in the great rational campaign.
 Mark Smith, the fighter, had once
 more been summoue1 to the thickest of the fray. To go there meant the
 loss of much to Mark Smith person ally, for many a political opponent
 vii sheer that Ma.k Smith cared not
 enough for peoples votes to stay
 where he could ga- them. Many a shyster speaker in Cochise and Santa Cruz will scream that those counties are neglected by MaTF Smith because he has not campaigned there. But Mark Smith has answered the call of duty, even though it injure his politi- cal dances. It was in keeping with his character. Time and again Mark Slai:h has cast aside personal oppor- tunities in behalf af the public good. And it is true of him, perhaps more than of any other figure in our ma tion's life today, that he would not have loved his people half so much loved he not duty uore.
 Mark Smith has answered the bugle call of duty. He has left his own fight in the hands q his friends and has gone to lead 'n the ranks of war for the great commoner, William J. Bryan. But the friends of Mark Smith are legion and their fighting will be the harder because, thank God, chivalry and trEth and brave
 mans courage are still things that
 are honored in our great territory
 soon to be the glorious state of Ari- zona.

THE OFFICIAL RECORD OF RALPH CAMERON.

The tenderfoot press of Cochise county have been thrown into vio- lent state of perturbance by the let ter from Hard Rock Miner" or McCabe. Arizona, which was publish ed in the Prescott Courier and repub- hshed in the principal newspapers ot the territory. These tenderfoot edi- tors seem to be no better posted on the official record of Ralph Cameron than they are on the official record of Mark Smith. but, fool like. they as sunle to know 1t ali
 In the Dispatch this morning and in the Bisbee Miner yesterday. the tenderfoot press siamese twins, a let ter is published from Attorney Gen eral Clark in whicn that gentleman admits that Ralph was s2500 shy in his account, but Clark. who was district attorney of Coconino county ~hen this ''shyness" occurred in the sherif's offices talk ss all the blame upon himself. We confess that eve are somewhat in ths dark concerning the record of Ralph Cameron as sher- fir of Coconino county, but we have listened to many str fies since he was nominated for congress which was no credit to that official record. As the Bisbee Miner and Dispatch seem to have all the facts concerning this rec ord, they will probably be wiling ts answer some other questions. Isewogld not be proper to ask questions aboa. the private character of Ralph Cam -eron. bat We submit that it Is entirely proper to seek information concerning the official record of any man who is cansssate for public office. if he has one.
 It has been reported by persons who resided in northern Arizona at the time that the men who were on the bond Of Cameron as sheriff tool. charge of the office l'efore the expIra- ton of the term sni collected all the warrants due the office from the coun- ty and paid the expenses. Will the tenderfoot press tell the public wheth- CT this report is true O, not?
 James Roberts. sGeciai officer Of she Copper Queen rmeIter in this city. who was for many years constable and city marshal h the Jerome min ing camp. says that while Cameron was sheriff he and other officers of Jerome arrested a man for whom there was a reward of 5000 by the territory and citizens of YavapaI county. Roberts says shat the pris- oner was turned oyez to Cameron with the understanding that he. Cam eron. was to collect this reward ana pay it to himself and associates who made the capture. Roberts declares that he never received a cent of the  reward collected by Cameron and that his associates fared the same way. win the tenderfoot p'ess now tell the public whether or not this charge is

TWO YEARS AGO AND NOW.

AND NOW.
 The republicans are nursing the false hope to their bosom in this cam paign that the big democratic major ity two years ago was not an evidence of the popularity of Hon. Mark Smith in Arizona and that the rcsultwas no evidence of democratic strength in Arizona. The republicans make this claim on the theory that many repub- Iicans voted for Smith in 1906 because they recognized that he was the best equipped man to send from Arizona to prevent the passage of the hated ani iniquitous joint statehood bill. If there were republicans who voted for Smith for this reason two years ago, the result showed that they were cor rect then in their estimation of the ability of Mir. Smith. Joint statehood was defeated and the integrity of Ari- zona was preserved to the people Of the territory.
 Now. two years later these same re publicans are trying to make the vot- CTS of Arizona believe that Mark Smith had little to co with defeating joint statehood. But the fact remains that joint statehood was defeated and that the cause of A-;zona was defend ed on the floor of congress by a speech which attracted the attention of the entire country as one of the ablest ever delivered on the floor ot the house It was the cutting tongue of Mark Smith that made the traitor. Tawney, cringe in his seat as our delegate exposed his hypocrisy to the country; it was the burning eio- quence of Mark Smith that exposed the infamous tactics of Speaker Can non in forcing members of the house to vote against the interests of Ari- zona; 1t was the tireless work oi Mark Smith which held the solid dem ocratic vote In both houses and sen ate against the joint statehood bill. After the fight had been won for Ari- zona there was not a republican in Arizona who was So hide-bound in his political bias as to withhold just praise of the earnest work of our del e gate in preserving the territory for one of the finest future states to be found within the bounds of the Amer ican union.
 Republicans ~ho returned from Washington after the battle for the independence of Arizona were ready and willing to give to Mark Smith credit for his invaluable service in saving our people from a condition of political peonage; how they are try ing to steal from Mark Smith the good name which ho earned fighting the battle of Arizona by publishing in the tom-tit press Of the territory the sIanderous statement that he had but little to do with preventing jcint statehood.
 The people of the territory. how ever, are not ignorant Of the facts connected with the joint statehood fight; they know thai two years ago it was conceded tha: the election of Mark Smith was conceded to be nee essary to defeat that inIquitous meas ure; they know that the bill was de 1 feated and they know their obligation to Mark Smith for the good service he rendered Arizona in that battle.

Our Curious Brain.

A wonderful piece of self analysis,
worthy of st. Augustine, which &C.
ours in one Of John Donne's funeral
sermons gives poignant expression to
what must doubtless have been a CON-
mon condition of so sensitive brain.
II throw myself down in my cham
Der and I call in and invite God and
his angels together, and when they
IRE there I neglect God and his angels
for the noise of fly, for the rafting
Of coach, for the whining Of dog.
I talk on in the same posture of pray
er, eyes lifted up. knees bowed down.
as though prayed to God, and if God
should ask me when I last thought of
God in that prayer cannot tell. Some
times I find that l forgot what was
about, but when began to forget 1t
l cannot tell. A memory Of yester-
days pleasures, fear of tomOrrow's
dangers, straw under my knee, a
noise In mine ear, chimera in my
brain, troubles me in my prayer"
It is this brain turned inward upon
itself and darting out on every side
in purely random excursions that was
responsible, l cannot doubt, for all the
| contradictions Of career in which
the inner logic is not at first apparent

100000. 1t was made of white brick

Dying Younger.

In view of all that has been said
about the fall in the death rate, it
seems strange to realize that we are
not living so long as our grandfathers
and grandmothers did. More babies
live to grow up nowadays than former
~, but people in later life die younger.
Once arrived at adult age the average
man or woman has fewer years of sur
vival to expect. This seems on the face
of it so surprising a statement that in
order to be accepted it should be back
cd up by data authentic and indisputa-
BILE. Such data are furnished by the
figures of the insurance companies,
which all agree on the point. but it is
easier to refer to the government cen
sus reports. which tell the tale in SIM
pie and convincing fashion. Even dur
ing the last fifteen years the death
rate among all persons over fifty-five
years of age Of both sexes has risen
