PHOENIX'S OUTLOOK

w. A. Reynold, Contractor and Archi-
 tect Establishes Himself in This City

w A. Reynolds. contractor who came here from Colorado last winter has determined to become d part of Phoenix and ne has estabIi5!icl offices at the BucKeye Lumber vards at Five Points. NIT. ReynalF after making a careful survey of the local situation, believed that the outlook for Phoenix was much more promising than that of any other town he had seen in the west. He has accordingly moved his household goods to Phoenix and will shortly be joined by his family. MT. Reynolds is not only a successful and experienced contractor but he is a skilled architect
 The building prospects of Phoenix were never so bright as they are now. Throughout the summer building has been going in a most unprecedented manner The building permits for the month of July exceeded $40,000 the record for any month, except in the cases of permits for such buildings as the Noble block.
 It is the general impression among contractors and material men that the volume of business will greatly in crease beginning next month. Mont the proprietor of the Buck eye yards said that yesterday he was called upon to submit bids for ma terial aggregating more than S3000. There were at least three of the con- tracts, showing a very good promise of business for a single day, at time of the year when it is ordinarily expected that there is not much to do.

COMMON SENSE VS.
 STRONG DRUGS.
Simple Oil of Wintergreen Cures Eczema and Drives Out Old
 Foqy Treatment.

If you were to hack your finger or scald your arm, you would apply some healing remedy as soon as pos sible, wouldn't you?
 That would be good common sense and it would bring the quickest re- lief You surely would never think of drinking medicine or doctOring the blood to cure a surface affliction.
 It's just the same principle with diseases of the skin. Eczema, psor- iasis, salt rheum and barber's itch can be cured and cured easily if you strike right at the trouble as you do with a cut or burn.
 The cause of itching. burning skin diseases according to modern science, is a germ which feeds upon the weaker parts of the skin. To kill these skin bacilli which produce the fetching sores and ugly red blotches, use the famous prescription of oil of wintergreen, glycerine and thymol, commonly known as D. D. D. Pre- scription. This mild liquid was ad- vocated by a prominent skin special ist, Dr. Dennis, of Chicago, long be- fore it was adopted generally. This liquid is called D. D. D. Prescription. It is a positive specific for all skin diseases.

DEATH Or R. f. DAGGS
 ON A MOUNTAIN TRIP
End of an Illness Much Aggravated by Worry.

A telegram was received from Globe yesterday announcing the death of R. E. Daggs in the mountains about fifty miles from that place. The telegram was received by Attorney P. B. Lyon from William Billups, cousin of the dead man, who was with him at the time of death last Saturday night.
 Mr Daggs. never robust, for thelast three years had been in bad health, and not long ago, accompanied by Bill lups and a cook, he went into the mountains near Talklai. thinking that the mountain climate, if it would not restore his health, would arrest the progress of the disease or would af- ford him temporary relief.
 The cause of his death may be trac- ed back to a suit for criminal assault brought against him by a girl by the name of Esther Power about three years ago. It was during the progress of that trial that MT. Daggs became a confirmed invalid. He was convicted, but there was a considerably wide spread helief that he was the victim of blackmail. a fact that has been rather confirmed by the subsequent career of the prosecuting witness.
 The supreme court last spring revers- ed the findings of the lower court and that was the end of the matter.
 The murder of his brother. A. J. Daggs, on New Years day in Pinal county, further depressed him and it was plain that he had not long to live
 Mir Daggs had been a resident of Phoenix for about twelve years during which time he was associated with his brother, A. J. Daggs, in a variety of enterprises, but their time was de- voted mainly to the incorporating bus mess, which it is stated will be car ried on by MT Lyons, who has had charge of it for several months Not long ago the aged mother of MT Daggs died
 A. J. Daggs was an attorney and it was generally believed that R E. Daggs was also, though he was never admitted to the bar of this county He had, however an intricate knowledge of the law and though he did not ap- pear in court, he was of great assist ance to the firm. MT. Daggs was about 45 years of age and a native of Missouri.

Says the New York Sun: What ever the little eccentricities of Thom- as Collier Platt, he knew enough to go in when it rained In the pros porous years of his bosship and after he had learned the business thoroughly he knew that he had to yield to the opinion of his party; and if there was just one road to victory he took it. In 1898 he had no adoration for Theodore Roosevelt, but he saw that no other man could be elected governor by the Republicans. It is hard work for the kindergartners among whom Mir. Platt's mantle has been divided to understand that their poor little likes and dislikes don't count; and when there is but one candidate the Republicans can win with, that can didate must be taken whether the

PHoENIX, ARIZONA, AUG. Il, 1908.
THE ONE SUFFICIENT REASON.

THE ONE SUFFICIENT REASON.
 There is at least one reason suffi- cient and overshadowing, why a re- publican delegate to congress should be elected this year. That reason is statehood. As we have before ob- served, we believe that Arizona will be admitted, if not at the coming short session, at the congress to which the delegate will be elected. The representative from Arizona, whoever he may be, may not by his ward admission, but it is evident that his political complexion may be a determining factor.
 It perhaps never mattered much before whether the delegate was a democrat or a republican so far as statehood was concerned, but as things have turned out it may mat ter a great deal now. The only ob- stacle in the way of Arizona at present, if there is an obstacle, it must be confessed, lies in the repub- majority. That is where we have al- ways hitherto come to grief. We have reason to believe that during the national republican convention, this obstacle was largely if not wholly, removed.
 But whatever of St may remain can be overcome in no other way, so surely as by sending a republican delegate. We do not think MT. Smiths most ardent friends would undertake seriously to point out how he can contribute to statehood now.
 This is the only argument with which republicans need go before the voters this fall The introduction of any other reason for the defeat of MT. Smith would serve only to cloud and weaken the real reason.
 We mention this only to correct in the friendliest spirit such republi can newspapers as are prolOnging the cry raised by Mir Smiths op- ponents during the pre-convention campaign, that he was the choice of the corporations and that his nom ination was being forced by fraud and irregularity in opposition to the will of the masses. As a battle cry in a hot factionaI fight that might have served an inflammatory pur- pose but it is asinine to suppose | that it can be effective through a 1 three months partisan campaign. It would be regarded as a reflection | upon the intelligence of those who | raised it. Voters of ordinary sense i would stop somewhere in the course | of the campaign and ask of what | earthly use MT. Smith or any other delegate to congress could be to the corporations. And, who could an swer the question?
 There is never a moral excuse for the acts of a demagogue, though he may sometime fool people and com mand their respect by his success. But there is no respect for the dem agogue who fools only himself.
 Let us go into this fight with thl strong argument which the logic of circumstances has put into our hands and convince all, republicans and democrats alike, that this is the year for Arizonians to vote the re- publican ticket.
