INTEREsTING READING.

Walter Wellman in a long article
in the Chicago Record Herald, re
CARDS it as extremely probable that
Bryan will carry Ohio. a calamity
which he believes nothing less than
a miracle will avert. The causes of
the impending disaster are interest
ingly and even pIausibly set forth.
We confess that we would feel
alarmed but for a few things, one
of which is Mr. Wellman himself.
1t is recalled that Mr. Wellman failed
to reach the north pole. Now every
man who misses the pole is not to
be disregarded as a political expert
and Mr.. Wellman's reputation would
not have suffered more than those Of
other explorers if he had not ex-
planned at length in advance. and
with great FEASIBILITY, precisely how
he was going to run down the pole
and drag it from its lair. It has
since been pretty well settled that
Mr.. Wellman and the Record Herald
had not the slightest intention of
finding the pole and that it was
known from the beginning that the
balloon would make no more than a
bald bluff Of starting on its voyage.
While state conventions were be
ing held last spring to select dele
gates to the republican national con-
vention, Mr. Wellman was busily en-
gagged in different parts Of the coun-
try gathering data for predictions
with which he kept the columns Of
the Record Herald loaded Mr.. Well
man all the time was attaining his
immediate object-he was making
most interesting reading. In one in
stance, describing with great cir
cumstantiality a plot of President
Roosevelt's to capture the convention
for his own nomination was so in
tensely interesting that the Record
Herald was constrained TO say edi-
torially, that it believed, whatever
the source III us correspondents H.
formation, he was on the wrong
tack
The object Of Mr.. Wellman, differ
ent from that Of old time political
correspondents like George Alfred
Townsend, who foretold results al
most with the accuracy of an election
count, is to make interesting reading.
We know Of nothing more interesting
than the information that Ohio is GO
ing democratic unless, possibly, the
intelIi gence that the Atlantic was go
ing dry on November next.

Mr.. SMITHS RECORD.

The Republican has never joined
the chorus Of those who have in
quired What has Mark Smith done
in the twenty years he has been a
delegate in congress- p" Mr.. Smith
has done perhaps all he could do in
the circumstances, all any democrat
could do in the face of a republican
majority and as much as a republi
can could have done in a democratic
congress.
So, it is as unfair, or at least, as
uncharitable to taunt Mr.. Smith with
the brevity Of his record Of accom-
plishments as it is foolish on the
part Of his friends to pervert that
record and set up false claims in his
behalf In fact his friends by that
course do him more harm than good,
by giving strength to the belief that
he really ought to have accomplished
something amid his hostile surround
ings.
MI Sillilh Hd9 VI SouiSe ldlleu u
do much that he ought TO have been
allowed to do and the action of the
republican majority in congress
against him cannot be defended even
on partisans' ground. It is therefore
wildly foolish TO suppose that he
could have been influential in Sc
curing favorable action in statehood,
a matter Of deep party concern.
1T would be even more foolish now
Arizona republican., 1908-10-21

to suppose that Mr.. Smith can do
more toward securing statehood
than he was able to do at any time
within the last twenty years.
1t would be no vindication of Mr..
Smith to send him back to congress
to inevitable failure and to the dis
appointment of Arizonians who do
not care who secures us statehood
just so it is secured.
\ republican victory, the election
of Ralph Cameron, will certainly
bring about what Mr.. Smith has not
accomplished and can never accom-
plish until congress is democratic.

If the republican candidates from

at the EIks theater, when Ralph Cam

delegate to congress, Governor Kib-
hey and John B. Wright of Tucson

Mr.. Wright is perhaps the best
campaigner in the territory. More than
any other he can keep an audience in
good humor with itself and bring it
into accord with his argument.
Early in the campaign the republic

services. but he was so immersed in
his law business that he was unable
to take part in the political battle

fairs into shape so that in the closing
days he could participate in the cam
paign in the south.
Mr. Wright is not a stranger to
Phoenix audiences. He has appeared
here in two other political meetings.
but his greatest speech was delivered
near the close Of water works cam

Women's Rights In Brazil.

The curse of Brazil lies in the
great illiteracy' of its men and WON.
en-" declared Edward B. Norris. an
Englishman who has been many years
a resident of Rio Janeiro.
According to the official govern.
ment figures the illiteracy is so per
cent. Certainly a country where only
one man in five can read and write
and only one woman in 20 has cause
to blush at the ignorance of its peo-
pie. A country of enormous area, yet
with a population of only 10000, 900.
Brazil is sadly handicapped by lack
Of modern enterprise and an enlight.
ened citizenship. One of the most dis.
couraging features of the country Is
the low esteem In which woman Is
held. A great many Brazilian girls
marry by the time they are IL years
old and are grandmothers long before
they are 30. Woman is regarded as a
chattel, and in many household of
the republic never opens her mouth
