CYCLONE BILL"

The following from the Saturday Evening Post will be read with some interest by the many friends of "Cy- clone Bill" who has been a resident of the vicinity of Douglas during the past year. If it is true that Mir. White took liberty with the name of "Cy- clone Bill" without authorization or without regard for truth we agree with Bill that he should be willing to divvy with the real character which he had so vividly pictured in his mind and in his article. No man in this country would stand for being called a horsethief without going for his gun and we wonder that the real Cyclone was so modest In his request for a diYEy of the proceeds of the magazine article. But from the last note it would seem that the Cyclone has oiled up his shooting irons in readiness for this reckless author should he ever come this way.
 Could Stewart Edward White meet W. E. Beck, better known as "Cy. clone Bill," he would find him to he man of education and polished manners and a man who can show A wide correspondence with some of the big men of the country. He is A native Of Texas and arrived in Afi- zona about twenty years ago. Since coming to the territory he has never been connected with any bad man in. cident. further than carrying on an unceasing and relentless war, up to a few months ago, with his old enc my John Barlycorn, whom he finally conquered. at least temporarily.
 The article from the Saturday Evening Post referred to above. is herewith produced and notwtthstsud- ing the ability of Cyclone BilI" to shoot other things than dance house pianos, we guarantee that MT. White win be perfectly safe should he de- sire to visit Douglas:

THE QUEEN TAX CASE.

The result of the trial during the past week of the old 1901 tax case against the Copper Queen Consoli- dated Mining company was one. re- gardless of what the legal status of it may be. which should meet with the general approval of the residents of Cockfse county. This suit was forced into the court by Attorney General Clark after 1t had been set tied by compromise to the satisfae- tion of all the people of the county who favored square deal for the Copper Queen company along with just treatment for all the taxpayers of the county. corporate and indiyid- ual. The money sued for was claimed to be due on back tax bill for the year 1901. That year the board of supervisors raised the assessment of the Queen more than $S,000. 900, bringing the total assessment for that year against this company to a total of more than all the balance of the mining property. of every char acter in the territory. was assessed for. It was perfectly natural that the company should resist payment on such an unequal assessment; there was no reason why the board of su- peryisors should attempt to force the Queen or any other company in Co chise county to stand for such an as sessment. It will be remembered that the Copper Queen enterprises in this county at the time of this assess ment was not to be compared to the enterprise of today. At that time the Copper Queen did not rank in i'm portance with several other copper enterprises in the territory, notably the United Verde at Jerome and the Arizona Copper company at Clifton, and we cannot see why there should be insistence on the payment of this old compromised tax bill which would amount to more than the amount paid by all the other mining property in the territory for that year.
 We believe that all property should bear its just proportion of taxes, but we do not believe in the effort to hold up one corporation in the matter of it's taxes and allow all others to escape an equal burden of tax.
 It has been announced that the tax case will be appealed to the supreme court of the United States before it will reach final determination.

The action of the Cochise couaty democratic central committee taken when the forty-seven delegates were appointed to the territorial conven- ton no doubt foretells an instructed delegation for William Jennings Bry- an from Arizona to the national dem ocratic convention at Denver. The Cochise county committee recon mended that the delegates from the largest of all democratic counties fn the territory should favor an instruct ed delegation for Bryan. It Is quite evident that practically every other county in the territory will stand by the action of Cochise. The democrats of cochise. as might have been ex- pected. also took occasion to laud Mark Smith for his splendid work in congress and to ass=re him of their continued admiration and future sup port

Notwithstanding the fact that Sen ator Bailey has been twice vindicated by the people of Texas at primaries held by the democratic party and that he has been exonerated by the legislature twice, of the charges made against him by his enemies, once in his election and once by the adoption of the reports of the legislative com mittee, his enemies declare their pur- pose of keeping up the fight against Bailey. Bailey has never been charged with a single public act which was not in the interest of Tex as; several years ago 1t seems that in the course of his business career he borrowed some money from a man who was afterwards shown to have some connection with the Waters Pierce Oil company. an affiliated con- pany with the Standard Oil company. That the democrats of Texas do not believe Bailey should be turned down for his act has been demonstrated at every opportunity presented and it may be predicted that from now on Bailey will grow again in his strength as the idol of the Lone Star state.

DIPLOMATS AT
 NATIONAL CONVENTION.

DiFEOMAi . Al NATIONAL CONVENTION.
 It is agreeable to hear that the diplomatic corps vii be iberally rep resented at Chicago. The same should be true also of Denver. Political na- tionaI conventions are instructive bodies, and the foreigner, looking on with the eye of friendly interest. is fully repaid for the trouble of attend ance.
 At the inauguration of president every provision is made for the rep resentatives of foreign governments residing in Washington. Prominent places are reserved for them in the senate chamber, where the inaugural ceremonies begin., and on the stand on the east plaza of the capitol where the new president takes the oath of office. In their uniforms they lend color and increased attraction to the picture.
 Likewise is provision made for them in the chambers of congress. There is a reserved gallery in each house for diplomats. and they often make use of them. On field days, when orators of distinction are booked for speeches. the diplomats turn out in force and follow the pro ceedings with great interest and prob ably with profit. Law-making by the American process is worth their while.
 So with those national conventions. They afford study which men ac- credited to this government by friend ly powers should not miss. Provision should be made for their entertain ment and they pressed to attend. The business of such body is with in the scope of their legitimate in quiry and reflection. It shows democ- racy at work, and it's most strenuous form. Choosing a leader for a na- tonal campaign is a performance which no distinguished man visiting America should neglect an opportuni- ty to witness.
 It is but truth to say that the per fomance is not always impressive. It is sometimes deplorable. Where there i should be order there is pandemon- ium. Where there should be refec- tion there is often passion. Where discussion would be valuable acri- monious exchanges between shouting factions hold sway. Lung power is at times great reliance and carries further than brain power. In word, what should be ieliberative body about the most important of matters is at times converted into noisy circus
 Still, for better or for worse, we do business in that style, and we are an interesting people in that raqnifes- tation. And, to be fully and proper ly understood, we must be studied in all of our aspects. The forei n diplo- mat who misses Chicago CT Denver this year will be heavy loser -Ex- change.

WHEAT AS AN 

The United States is to have wheat crop of over 70o.ooo,o00 bush els in 1908, according to all the pres ent indications, as gleaned by the department of agriculture. There is special need for large crops this year. and the earliest of them to make a report gives promise to meet this demand. The wheat yield of 1907 was 625,O00,O00 bushels. Only twice-in 1901 and 1906-was the 700 ,000, 900 mark passed. The season was backward and nearly all the con ditions were adverse in --,i. This year, however, the season is earlier, the acreage is greater, and the hope of a big harvest has something to say for itself
 Large crops of the great staples fin 1908 would go far toward placing the country again on the high road to- ward prosperity. Wheat stood fourth on the list of the country's crops in 1907 in point of value, corn being first, hay second and cotton third. Sometimes wheat leads hay and cot ton, but corn always heads the list. The time for planting corn and cot ton is till ahead of us, but as the sea sons opens favorably for wheat there is strong expectation that the oth- CT big crops will also start out under l friendly auspices. In the aggregate yield 1907 did not stand high, but the big prices which all the staples con- manded on account of the prosperity which prevailed along till after the harvest, made the total value of all the farm products greater than in any previous year. It passed the s700, 100000 mark for the first time in the country's history. The range of prices will necessarily be lower in 1908, although in some cases they are still up to the 1907 mark. But the harvest, whether it be small or large, will see the average of prices be low those of twelve months earlier.
 Large crops, however, Twill be of vast service to the country. They will insure a fair income to the farmer and cheap food to tke con sumer. Agriculture is still one of the country's great interests; and when the agriculturist prospers the whole country has good times. We are on the upgrade in business once more. This is shown by the increase in the transactions of the banks and the railways as compared with a few weeks ago. Financial confidence is being restored. Good crops in 1908 would have little of the same tonic effect which they had in 1894 and 1895, as well as in 1877 and 1878, in periods of much greater depression than that through which we are pas ing now.

TIRE TROLLEY FRANCHISE AND MAYOR cAVEN's POST

The Republican city campaign in Bisbee Is being made solely along the lises that Mayor c. L. Cayen was the prime mover and has been entirely responsible for the great municipal improvements in Bisbee since he took office two years ago. The friends of Mayor Caven and the Republican campaign managers are using this argument almost exclusively in their efforts to divert votes from the Dem ecratie to the Republican candidates and especially to Mayor Caven, who Is cut for reelection. There has never been any intention on the part of The Review to reflect in the slightest sH Mayor Cayen's integrity. Any charge that such has been the inti- nation is made without any founda- ton in fact The Review holds Mayor Gaven in high esteem both as a gen. tlemaH and a citizen. In politics it is opposed to him.
 Phe trolley franchise matter is not something which happened long ago. If Mayor Caven was opposed to that franchise which would have termin- ated the trolley line at the Copper Queen store instead of up Tombstone Canyon, his position was never made public. When this franchise was pre- sentee it was the Review that sound ed tAe alarm which brought protest from the citizens of the city which re- suited fn a change of the franchise program
 The Review during this campaign will not knowingly deal unfair with any candidate and 1t will be easy for Dr. Caven to state his position on q
 the first trolley franchise so that there may be no further controversy oz that point. So far he has remain cd silent, though his friends are loud f. prociairning that The Review seeks te do an injustice to Dr. Caven. Dr. caven should be willing to stand on his ostciai record now that he is candidate for reelection.
 Resarding the attitude of Aessrs. Hughes and Morris toward the trolley franchise. The Review will be per tectfy frank and state ttie. it was mis- informed. As a matter of fact these two members of the council agreed with the Democrats in opposing Mayor Cayen when he advocated acceptance of the first franchise. The error in stating the position of the two mem hers of the council was one such as ,s liable to occur under the circum- stances and has nothing whatever to so with the Republican claims made for Mayor caven.
 If the Democratic members of the council had not adopted progressive se,iey and followed it out for two
