PROBLEM THE DAY
AFTER ELECTION
PHILIP BREITMEYER.
REPUBLICAN MAYoRAL cANpI-
DATE SAYS iF he WINS NELL
CALL ON STREET RAILWAY FOR
A PROPOSITION. 49, AZ.
PHILIP BREITMEYER.

Philip Breitmeyer. Republican NOM
inee for mayor, says no will start In
to attempt to settle the street railway
question the day after election, IL he
wins.
The park commissioner. having ex-
pected his nomination all the way
through, Is not unduly elated over his
success. but Is anxious rather to Sc
cure harmony In the party and TO
show his good will toward the two
men who ran against him for the nom
nation.
Throughout, Breitmeyer has never
spoken In any other way than kindly
of DR.. Carstens and VIM. T. Dust, who
opposed him. IL is expected that he
will consult them as to the conduct OF
the campaign.
Mayor Thompson has never done
anything TO settle the street railway
question" says Breitmeyer. II think
that settlement Is possible. and, II
the people want q man who IL willing
to act, rather than to promise. for
mayor, shall go to work the minute
I know I am elected to try TO get q
settlement even before I take ONCE.
THE street railway question is the
thing the people are most interested
In and the one I should take up first.
| l have no desire to lie awake with
| It or to keep II as an Issue Tor political
use
MY policy would be, II the people
clothe me with authority to open nego-
tiattons. to ask the D. q. r. for prop
osition. That company needs money
to make extensions and keep up Its
property. It cannot get more money
or sell its bonds In the present unset
tied state Of things and I think II
should be willing to be fair with us.
IF q proposal 10 forthcoming, will
call upon the council. as the repre-
sentatives of the public to advise with
me IN the negotiations to follow. Not
until some plan had been formulated
that will provide for the best service
and a proper rate Of fare. would any
move be made. Then I would have
the proposition submitted to the peo-
pie at a special election. II the peo-
pie are satisfied. then 1t Is time for
the mayor and the council to accept
IF the d. U. r. will not make
proper offer. that Is another thing
but think the company Is in such cir
cumstances that 1t will have to be
reasonable.
Il ascribe my nomination to desire
on the part OF the people to name a
mayor who will do something. To
the thousands OF friends who gave me
their votes, / extend my thanks. mas
much az / had no committee. or form
of organization. l think the result was
great success. The people were my
committee"
Commissioner Breitmeyer had In
tended to go to Chicago for few days,
but decided to defer the trip.
He will resign his position as park
commissioner within week or ten
days. Mayor Thompson will appoint
| his successor.

THE THIRTEENTH CENSUS OF THE
UNITED STATEs.-TO show how num-
erous Uncle Sans family is, it is
only necessary to state that an esti-
mated appropriation of $l4, 900, 600
will be necessary to defray the ex-
penses of this decennial enumera-
ton. Bills have been prepared by
Director North, and introduced in
the Senate and House. Originally
provided for to afford basis for
Congressional representation, the
functions of that service have been
so increased that it now embraces
statistics relating to almost every
important feature of national de-
velopment. About FIVE years ago,
this extended use of the service be-
came SO valuable that Congress
authorized the establishment of a
permanent census bureau in Wash
ingtOn, and the census of 1910 will
be the first since the establishment
of the permanent bureau. 1t is be.
lieved that results will justify the
wisdom of the inception. The new
enumeration will be taken April

son that it will much more accurate.

EY-GOv. SEMPLE QUITE ILL.-It is
matter Of regret that we are COM
PEELED to announce the serious illness
of Ex-Governor Semple, from gen.
eral failure of life-forces incident to
age. He had not been in good health
for some time, and it had been his in
ton to..try change of climate as a
means of relief. He was Governor of
the Territory of Washington in 1887
80, and made faithful and compe-
tent officer. After retirement from
official life. he removed to Seattle,
and was for several years chief pro-
moter of the Seattle and Lake Wash
ington Waterway and the first Pres
ident of that corporation. He is now
q patient in the Minor Hospital, Sc
attic, and friends despair of his re-
cOvery unless conditions soon i'm

ELECTED THE Poor WOMEN From
THE CARs.-That q conductor on the
Union Pacific freight train, at Oma-
ha, on the LIST inst, had strenuous
time in dislodging from his emp
ties" nineteen women who had been
discharged from work and took the
chance OF stOw-aways to get to Den
yer, where they had an intimation
jobs waited them. They were good
women, but impecunious, and it is
often want that developes the hobo
instinct, which it did in this In
stance. An alteration between two
of the number betrayed their pres
ence, whereupon the conductor po-
litely informed them that it was
against rules for them to ride on a
freight train, or without pay. His
answer was q derisive laugh. He
demonstrated in vain, and then called
the brakemen and started in by
force to remove them. After much
screaming and scratching and biting
they were dislodged from the cars,
and after declaring the train and its
conductor and brakemen "horrid old
things" took the tie-route back to
Omaha.

OKLAHOMA's STATE FLOwER.-The
people of Oklahoma are discussing
the adoption Of q State flower. Mis-.
tleto was their Territorial flower and

although Golden Rod is q strong ri

friends. An effort was made when
the convention was framing the Con
stitution to make Alfalfa the State
flower. Golden Rod is opposed be-
cause it is already the emblem of sew
eral States - Alabama, Kentucky
Maryland, Missouri, Nebraska and
Pennsylvania-and it is, as well, the
national floral emblem. The Mistle
