FAyoRs MINE INSPECTION

The Gila county democratic platform Is plain and outspoken upon the matter of mine inspection. No moro important matter can be recognized by any politi. cal party. Many lives are lost and many hundreds of persons are injured in the mines every year through accident Much of this could be prevented by proper inspection of the mines. The democratic party of Gila county pro poses to protect the mineers from in- jury and death, as shown by its plat form, upon that subject, reads as fol lows:
 "We deplore the too frequent re
 currence of fatal accidents to em
 ployes in the mines of this territory
 which in most instances may be
 traced indirectly, If not directly, to
 failure on the part of employers
 to provide proper facilities and safe
 appliances. We therefore urge the
 passage of law providing for a
 mine inspector who shall be given
 authority, under proper restrictions,
 of enforcing necessary and proper regulations looking to tho comfort
 and safety of employees
 Upon this subject, the republican plat form is silent.

MARK SMITHS GOOD WORK

Hon Marcus A. Smith is doing great service for the democratic party in the middle and eastern states. He will end his speaking tour north of the Ohio river at point in Illinois, and then, after spending Sunday at his old home in Kentucky, will make his closing speech of the campaign at Mt. Sterling, where he Is well known, and will then return immediately to Arizona. It was a nobls act of his to respond to the call of Mir. Bryan. and give his best efforts to his election, which means so much to the people of the whole country. He could wall afford to do this as there was no great necessity of his remaining here, where his own election is an assured fact If his opponent has mads no bet ter progress in other counties than he has in Gila, there can be no doubt that he will carry the territory by as large a majority as he did two years ago, and most likely by much larger ma jority. The claims made by the repub- licans that they will carry this county, or at least make an even race of it be tween Cameron and Smith is simply non- sense. They cannot produce the names of twenty actual bona-hde democrats who voted two years ago for Mark Smith, who will not support bim in his present race. The psople of Gila county know Mark Smith, and they know that they can depend upon him to do all in his power for the territory. They know he has dons it in the past, and that they can trust him in tho future. They know that the hardest work that has been done against him in this cam paign has been by "windy William" Cleary, the Judas Of the independence party. who betrayed his own party to serve the ends of the republican party, and who has been held up to the scorn and contempt of everybody by the head of the independence party in Arizona. Cleary's case is not one of "sic semper tyrannus,'' but one of "sic semper damnfoolsbus.

COMPARE THE PLATFORMS.

The democrats of Gila county invite ths closest inspection of the platform upon which they ask the support of the people; and they especially ask a com parison of this platform with that put out by the republican convention.
 One of the strongest blanks in the democratic platform Is that pledging the party and its legislative candidates to do all in their power to secure to the people relief from the extortionate rates charged by the railroads for trans portation of freights. Upon this subject the republican platform is absolutely silent. Not single word does 1t say. The reason is that the republican party of the county, territory and nation is the party of the railroad and other cor porations and dares not to do or say anything derogatory to their interests.
 The railroads may go on making the people of Gila county pay them tribute in the way of heavy freights, and never will there come 8 word of protest or suggestion of remedy from the repub- hcans. They know that the county has suffered mora from this source than from anything else, and yet, when 1t comes to forming the platforms of their party, the republicans arc silent. They know that fully twenty per cent or more of the money paid by the people of this county for the sugar, rice and beans they use, goes to the railroad cor poraticns, and not a word of protest comes from them
 For remedy for these evils the peo- pie must look to tho democratic party. It has taken strong position upon this subject, has made known in plain words, what it proposes to do. It's candidates stand pledged by its plat form to bring about, if possible, a correction of this and like abuses. But, more than this, its candidates for the council and house, Messrs. Hunt and McCormick, have already shown by their course in the last legislature how they stand upon this matter, in trying to have freight and fare bill passed. Their efforts in thls matter would have been successful, but for the work of the | council which was republican. When | the measure was put to final vote, every republican, seven in number, vot- ed against 1t; while every one of the five democratic members voted for it.
 Can any stronger evidence be pro- duced to show the position of the terri torial and county republicans parties upon this most important matter? Can any palmer reason be shown why tho people of this county should give their support to the democratic party?

You think George II is small eh, dc you7 Well he isn't7 The only thing wrong with him is that his political creed is cut bias to the best interests of the people of Gila county and the territory.
 When Cameron sinks into political ob- hvion, as he will next Tuesday, the re- publican party will begin to look about for another sacrihcial offering to lay up on the political altar to be gobbled up by the democrats two years hence.

wATTERsoN PLAYS TAFT

PATTERSON PLAYS TAFT
 'It is all over but the shouting, and money win not save them,' declares Henry watterson in the Courier-Jo Jour. nal.
 The Louisville editor taking his cue from the repeated assertions in tho press that the republican campaign fund is now full to overaowing, says that the presidency cannot be bought, and that ''the chink of gold cannot deaden the sound of the death rattle in their throats." He continues:
 ''If there is anything in history that has bsen squarely, eternally and indis- putably established, 1t is that the repub- hcan party managers were in conspi. racy to debauch the electorate and pur- chase the presidency in 1904. Consider their heavy assessments upon tho cor. porations. Consider the presidents dis patch of E. H. Hartman to New York just week before the election for the collection from corporate sources of s2eo,00o, with which, as Mir. Hartman himself unblushingly writes, 10000 votes were turned in the city of New York alone.' MT. Roosevelt would have no use for S260 0o00 in New York thres or four days before election day--when the speaking and other legitimtas &C., tivities Of the canvass were at an end except for the buying of votes. And yet, while MT. Hartman was in the very act of holding up H. H. Rogers, John D. Archbold, Mir, Twombly, and the rest, the president, who had sent him upon the errand, dared to call Judge Parker's charges 'monstrous.'
 ''The insurance contributions, $50, 900 at clip; the Standard Oil contributions and the others all supply evidence to demonstrate the wickedness of the re- publican managers in 1904. And yet the disclosures so far made arc but gimp sos. Most of the record is yet jealously
  guarded.
 "The master hands of the 1904 cam paign are ths matser hands of the 1908 campaign. Tho republican party, which sought power by such means in 1904 is dominated now by the same unscrupu- lous shamelessness, and debassd politi- cal manipulators. Will the people of the United States deliver ths govern ment once mora into the clutches of such a band7 will-can--any honest citizen, be he democrat or republican, having the fear of God in his heart and a moral instince in his being, .contem- plate the damning record of 1904 and | yet vote for the republican ticket and tho perpetuation of the hideous sys. tom which that ticket represents.
 "What else is Judge Taft but "a dancing bear,' to which the venerable John Bigelow compares him. He dances first to the antitrust music made by Roosevelt. Then he dances to the trust music made by Sunny Jim. He dances irst on one foot and then on t'othcr seeking to make . single giant strad- He between the raising west and he trust breeding cast. He is for pub icity and against publicity. His last lance-ths dance of death---is tho old 'lea of hard times. Elect me, good tmes, boat mo, bad times. We heard 1t rom tho Hayes crowd in 1s76 ws

The Boy On the Farm-and After.

Philadelphia Public Ledger: The hoy born on the farm has reasons TOT being grateful. He is apt to begin life with the heritage of health upon which to build lie is not isolated as a few decades ago. The probability is that the mail is brought to his door that there is available telephone service. The school within reach IS as good as the school cf the city, with better sanitation and better moral atmosphere. The amCsements, sim ple as they may be, are as instructive and as elevating as the cheap thea ters. Yet the boy, getting to the age of liberty. leaves the farm, where he would have developed into a substan- tial citizen. and hurries to the city, in which the chances are that he will attain no more individuality than one fly in a myriad swarm.
 When this boy arrives at an age or more serious discretion he regrets that he elected to make bootless con ouests of the city. but 1t is too late. II ne naS DetH OHS oi tiiS ONN' P''"'N successes he may purchase the old farm from the hands or strangers but if wealth has not crowned his ef- forts, and generally it has not. he has 10 let the years pass while vainly he yearns for the country that once had seemed so dreary He had wanted to hear the clamor of traffic instead of the song of birds. the rustic or rip ening fields; and the traffic has be- come deafening roar
 There are farmers who make thelr lives narrow and hard, and to youth hateful. They fairly drive the boys away. There is no excuse for this. The farmer boy Is entitled to his vacs- tions 10 reasonable hours, his social relayations. his visits to the city. But among the many thousands of boys who have been impelled toward the city there is arising wave or reac- tion. Among the new generation oi farmer boys, alert intelligent, reading napers. books and magazines, getting an insight into the worlds realities without hardening and dispiriting con tact with them, there is forming also an opinion that the country Is 'he better place, the place for greater en- iovments. surer returns, fewer tempta- tions, saner and more satisfactory existence.
