This was his manful reply, delivered
from the stump, and which brought
down his audience in storm of cheers:
II wish to make the statement once
and for all, that any man, any paper,
which dares to assert that during the
years have represented the territory
in Washington have acted otherwise
than as free man, devoted to the in
terests Of the whole territory--who
dares to assert or insinuate that have
been the tool Of any man or set of men,
or of any corporation, using my Office
to benefit any private enterprise at the
expense of this territory, asserts or in
sinuates lie. This is as strong as I
can put it. My whole course has been
governed by my sense Of duty to the
people of this territory. My course in
congress hereafter shall be dictated by
the same sense of duty which has gov
erned my actions as a public servant in
tho past.

in this country. Thanks to free schools
and the wide range Of opportunity, the
second generation has been able as a
rule to care for its immediate forbears
and has done it with filial loyalty, de-
votion and pride that are the glory of
our American life.
But even in this country there come
times of stress such as we have just
passed through, when the workers, the
men who make our prosperity, whose
sweat produces our Injuries, need the
helping hand of some other power than
any that has yet appeared to aid them.
This is problem for real craftsmanship
and it is one that must be solved sooner
or later and the sooner the better.
The theory of self help is well enough
1t is a pretty theory; it has the ring
Of our cherished independence and the
TOXIC Of manliness; but like all theories
IL sounds better than it listens. It IL
essential to mere decency to keep clear
the way of opportunity and to give
every man an equal chance.
But at the very best with this world
organized as it is socially and economic
ally, men do not have a free opportunity
nor equal chance. They cannot have
them, and this government will never
be what it should be and no political
party will have done more than scratch
the surface until industry has ceased to
want and honest effort means comfort
when age renders effort impossible

A PROBLEM FOR STATESMEN

Skilled labor in this country is more
and more taking measures to insure
freedom from poverty in old age. A
number of the large corporations are
making similar provisions in the form
of pensions for employees who have
been with them for stated period.
Certain labor unions through month
ly assessment provide for aged members
and others have form of insurance
with much the same purpose. Some are
providing homes for aged members and
the sick, and corporations are by shar-
ing of profits or by an annual retirement
to fund providing for an employees
insurance feature.
Massachusetts,, which has always been
in advance of other states in its insur-
ance laws, recently instituted form of
industrial insurance and annuities
through savings banks which has the
Endorsement of tn eAmerican Federatio
of Labor as well as of insurance ex-
perts. 1t seems to be standing the test
of actual operation and certainly should
be adopted by other states.
But after all is said and done what
of the old age of the average unskilled
laborer in America? What of the fu-
ture? 1t is true that government pen
sions as recently provided by the Eng
lish and the German compulsory system
through the joint action of the govern
ment and the working man, do not ap-
peal to the working man of this coun-
try.
It is also true that there is as yet
comparatively little old age restitution

MARK SMITH THE MAN
The Tempe News, an independent re-
publican newspaper, has this to say Of
the congressional fight in Arizona:

publican newspaper, has this to say Of
the congressional fight in Arizona:
The News intends to be perfectly fair
with Mr.. Cameron in its opposition to
his election as delegate to congress. 1t
may be that he would make a good del
egate, but he would be an experiment.
If statehood be the vital issue, as the
republicans would have it appear, then
the only thing for Arizona to do is to
return Mark Smith, the man to whom
all unprejudiced republicans give the
lion s share of the credit for saving
Arizona from jointure with New Mex
leo. 1t was the solid democratic vote
held together by Mr.. Smith that saved
MS and now with the prospect of a
largely increased democratic represen-
tation in congress, not to mention the
strong possibility of the election of Mr..
Bryan, it would be mighty poor politics
for Arizona to send another man to
Washington at this time.

ENJoINED TO BE GOOD

Some people have the idea that this
old world is running away from itself,
it is going so fast. They see it, in its
giddy whirl, breaking from all its an
chorage, tearing loose from its faith
and giving itself to a mad dash into
space.
The favorite example of this wild or
gle of unhitched license and irresponsi-
BILE flinging away of moral ballast is
Pittsburg, poor old Pittsburg that once
wore a face so long that it stepped on
its own beard. But even Pittsburg is
only going to the bowwows steady by
jerks.
1t still has enough of the grace Of
facial longitude and sufficient of the
righteousness of that self -abnegation
which would do unto others as it does
unto itself to have saved both Sodom
and Gomorrah. On pinch it can still
lay down rule of stiff necked and
wooden-legged conduct and make it
stick in the courts.
Recently members Of one Of its
churches decided to give Joint picnic
to raise fund for the organization. In
order to be sure of profit worth the
trouble il was decided to let the young
folks dance, but to make them pay
something more than the price of the
fiddler.
Then came the preacher and the court
with an injunction--tha horror of mod
ern horrors. 1t was ordered that no one
should dance in the name of that church,
nor at any entertainment given in the
name of the church If they would in
sist upon rushing pell nell to perdition,
it must not be with the nominal sane
ton of that brand of faith.
There was a row and ruction. The
picnic was given, so was the dance, but
it was for the benefit of children s
home. 1t was the largest gathering and
financially the most profitable ever held
in that section of the city. But the
church was saved. 1t didn't get the
money and Pittsburg still has at least
one anchorage left to jerk it TO mo-
mentary glimpse of where it is headed.
Yet there are those who would abolish
court injunctions. There are those who
would let people "go to" even in the
name Of the church, with no earthly
court to say them nay. But here it Of
fers a new way to save sinners and in
cidentally save church from sinners
within its fold. If there had been courts
and injunctions in Lots time possibly
he could have enjoined enough sinners
in the city of the wicked to have saved
II from destruction.

MARK SMITHS ANSWER TO A LIE


With their weakling candidate joke
on the stump, with the people of Arr
IONA thoroughly realizing that strong
man and one of legislative experience
and acquaintance is necessary to hold
the two great parties to their promise
of single statehood for Arizona at the
next session of congress, certain small
fry republican politicians of the peanut
variety are by inuendo attempting to
besmirch Mark Smith as corporation
man." says the Tucson Citizen. &.
A nastier lie was never whispered.
1t is a lie so false upon the face of it
that no republican speaker dare utter it
from the stump, where immediate refu-
tation would follow on its heels and
brand the man who dared to make it.
Here in Mark Smith s home county
the people know that Mark Smith is a
man who is poor in this worlds goods.
He is only rich in friends.
His record shows that he forced the
Santa Fe railroad to pay SITS per mile
in taxes when boards of supervisors
were willing to accept $125.
His fight for the settlers against land
grabbing corporations is fresh in the
memory Of Arizonans.
Right here in Pima county we can all
appreciate Mark Smiths splendid fight
against the legalizing of the Pima coun-
ty railroad bonds-which were held by
a banking corporation intent on legal
izing them that our people might be
forced to pay AN unjust debt-and
which scheme Mark Smith again and
again defeated. Those bonds were final
ly legalized and the Pima taxpayers now
foot the bills, because for one term re-
publican took the place Of Mark Smith
in congress and, without our fearless
Pima fighter to oppose it, the corpora
ton won the fight.
The other day at Prescott Mark Smith
was told Of the petty lie which limited
that he was the tool of corporations.
