THE LAY OF THE LAZY MAN

Breathes there a man with soul so
dead,
Who never to himself hath said:
Tomorrow morning l will rise
Before the sun lights up the skies.
"T'll set this clock so 1t will ring
Before the birds begin to sing;
It's strident bell will me awake,
An early morning walk I'll take"
And when at an ungodly hour
Next morn the clock with all it,
power
Made noise enough to stir the dead.
And woke the man upon the bed
Breathes there a man, now repeat
Who wouldn't chuck 1t in the street
And back into the bed then leap,
And with sigh go off to sleep?

THE CREED OF FREEDOM.

All authority belongs to the people,
No government can continue good
but under the control of the people.
The people of every country are
the only safe guardians Of their own
rights.
The will of the people is the only
legitimate foundation of any govern
ment, and to protect its free express
sion should be our first object.
Governments are republican only in
proportion as they embody the will
of the people and execute it.

the people at the north and south; the
really intelligent and progressive
members of congress, have quit re-
hashing war issues, but have turned
their attention to today's problems,
The result is a better feeling in con-
gress, more just and practical laws,
and more material advancement and
development for the country at large.
The present gigantic trusts. the
present autocratic organization of the
great railroads, the. monopolies Of
manufacturing, transportation and
mining have grown up through and
have taken advantage Of the bitter
prejudices of the people to fasten
their hooks deep into the very heart
Of the country.
The leaders of these corporations
have no political belief but selfish
ness. They stand together everywhere
sor their mutual interests, regardless
OF political differences. The common
voter has shouted himself hoarse over
sectional and political prejudices, and
has voted his enemy into place and
power.
Through the awakening influences
Of such men as Roosevelt and La
Toilette. the people are coming to rec
ognize the common foe and to realize
that blind prejudice has delivered the
matchless resources and privileges Of
the country into the hands Of few
scheming manipulators.

If those taxpayers who are kicking
at the county court for heavy county
expenses will go down to the Umatilla
river and watch the angry flood run
ming wild for short time, and think
of the havoc 1t is able to play with
roads and bridges, they will perhaps
change their minds as to the causes
Of heavy expenses.

"JuSt Stretch"

Stretch" commands a high priest
ess Of beauty, going on to prove that
this foreign cult is the sum total of
physical improvement. In short, to
be fetching, just go on stretching. The
New York World has been driven to
verse by this new way of beauty. 1t
advises:
If your cheek has lost its dimple
Meath the march Of Time, the
wretch,
There's a remedy quite simple
Take a beautifying stretch.
All the beauty you desire
This one exercise will fetch;
Even INSTRUMENTATION
Are much better for a stretch.

 Every plank of the platform, as read by MT. Stoneman, chairma nof the com mittee on resolutions, was cheered by the enthusiastic delegates and laymen.

 In the person of Hon. Marcus A. Smith, we have a competent, experi- enced, able and earnest advocate of Arizoha' $ needs upon the floor of the American congress. Untiring in his ef- forts for the welfare, the good and the best interests of all our people of the territory and with q vast influence among his fellow members by reason of his former years of unremitting, faithful and loyal service, in that body, for the good and glory of Arizona, and in maintaining her name and ind;vid. uality for future sisterhood in the American Union, we congratulate the democracy of the territory in particu- lar, and all our people in general upon the assurance of the return to the next congress of Hon. Marcus A. Smith to aid in upholdng the patriotic hands of William J. Bryan, after his inaugura. tion as president of the United States on the 4th of March, next.
 We heartily endorse the platform of our party recently adopted at the ter ritorial convention in Prescott, Arizona, and commend every declaration therein to the patriotic voters of Gila county and the territory.
 For Railroad Regulation.
 We assert that the conditions in Ari. zona do not at this time justify the imposition upon the people of this terri. tory by the railroad corporations of 3 maximum fare of six cents mile, and we urge upon the next legislative as. sembly, irrespective of party affiliation the necessity of the passage of a law which, within constitutional limitations may be enforced, to the end that ex orbitant charges in railroad freight ana passenger rates within this territory and unjust discriminations shall utter ly cease. We believe that the railroad corporations of this territory should bt subjected to the control of commis sion which shall be vested with tn, powers granted to like commissions il the different states of this union, ant we pledge our representatives in thu next legislative assembly to the enact ment of any law which will result il the accomplishment of these reforms.
 To Remunerate County.
 We pledge our representatives in tn next territorial legislative assembly t use their utmost endeavors to secur such legislation, either territorial O congressional, as will secure to Gil; county just recompense for the loss O revenue entailed by the construction O the Tonto and Salt river reservoir ant reimbursement for the increased expend iture of money with which our count. } has been burdened arising from tn necessary policing of large tract o land withdrawn from the revenue pro ducing lands of this county.

THE LEADERS TODAY.

Miss Millie Williams, with a gain of l1,07s in six days, has been awarded the premium vote of 2000 and heads the list of contestants this morning with a total vote of 1S,754.
 The total vote cast yesterday was greater than that cast during the six previous days and places four of the leaders in the fve-fgure column.
 Miss Dollie Armstrong, Miss O'Con- nor and Mss Kelsey made almost phe- nomenal gains, but it seems Miss Will jams anticipated a heavy vote, and put in a very strenuous day, making gain of nearly six thousand votes and placing her safely in the lead. The surprise forecasted by the Contest Ed itor yesterday morning was slightly overshadowed by the almost phenom enal vote for Miss Williams, which, af- ter all, proved the big surprise of the day.
 Miss Mildred Voris, the child candi- date, made gain of over 4,000 votes during the past twenty-four hours, and her friends promise to keep up the good work and gradually held her to tho forefront. Miss Mildred turned in a goodly number of subscription coupons yesterday, and a heavy scattering vote was east in her favor.
 Miss Tulita hellncr also made handsome gain, as did Miss Norma Dix on. The young ladies are all to, be con- graduated. The figures this morning i indicate very close race. There will be number of surprises Tuesday morn ing. as at least three candidates 1T the light figures will pass to the column of the leaders; and there may be new leader.

Direct Primaries.

Believing that conventions of every political party should represent the will of the majority of the voters of such party, we favor the enactment into law of the bill introduced by the Hon. Geo. w. P. Hunt in the twenty-third legls- lative assembly, providing for nomina' tions by direct primaries.
 Mine Inspection.
 We deplore the too frequent recur- renee of fatal accidents to employees in the mines of this territory which m most instances may be traced indirect ly. if not directly, to failure on the part of employers to provide proper ia cilitics and safe appliances. We there fore urge the passage of law providing for a mine inspector who shall be given authority, under proper restrictions, of enforcing necessary and proper regula tions looking to the comfort and safety of employees.
 Better Highways.
 We favor liberal appropriations Of money for the construction and main tenance of public highways. The reve- nue provided by statute is not sufficient in many instances to properly construct | and maintain adequate roads through sparsely settled districts of our county; we therefore favor the passage of ter ritorial act by which appropriations for this purpose may be increased, so that there may be greater community of interests and business between the res idents of our own and adjoining coun | ties.
 Shall the People Rule? The national democratic platform which contains so forcible a declaration of the principles and tenets of the par ty, we believe affords the voters Of this country the opportunity of voicinl the expression of their views upon tho question propounded by William Jen nings Bryan---"S Shall the people ruleS' So believing, we favor the passage oi a law which shall carry into full fore, and effect the objects sought to be at tained through the initiative and refer endum.

 We, the democracy of Gila county, Arizona, in convention assembled, con graduate the united democracy of the union in nominating for the presidency the one who has never failed in his sterling loyalty to the people since his first entrance into public service, eigh- teen years ago as member of congress from Nebraska.

THE SMART BOSS.

Rudyard Kipling concluded his re-
cent address to the students of McGill
university with an attack on smart
ness" He said:
Whenever and wherever you find
one of your dear little playmates show
ing signs of smartness in his work his
talk, or his play, take him tenderly. by
the hand, by both hands, by the back
of the neck if necessary, and lovingly,
playfully, but firmly, lead him to a
knowledge of higher and more inter-
esting things"
Afterwards Mr.. Kipling told story
about a smart man.
''This man. he said, "owned a dry
goods store, and one day, to his great
disgust he heard new clerk say to a
lady:
NO madam: we have not had any
for a long time
with a fierce glance at the clerk
the smart employer rushed up to the
lady and said:
"'We have plenty in reserve, ma'am;
plenty up stairs
Lady and clerk looked dazed, and
afterwards the smart proprietor learn
ed that the clerks remark had been
made in answer to the lady's, I'VE
haven't had any rain lately"

to inquire if you could take my son

training l think he would some day

hep said the architect a trif1e glumly,

What's he done?'
He designed a garden for our

about it?' said the architect impa-
