SIERRA MADRE AND PACIFIC RAILROAD.

The Chihuahua Enterprise has re, ceived information to the effect that President H. R. Nickerson of the Sier- ra Madre and Pacific railroad, the line which runs from Fl Paso to Casas Grandes, has succeeded in raising S5,, OoO,000 to extend the road to a con, nection with the Cananea, Yaqui River and Pacific railroad in Sonora, the con. nection to be made at Tonichic in the Yaqui river valle.-. |
 This is the railroad purchased by Colonel W. c. Greene several years ago with the purpose of extending il to the great timber belt owned by the Sierra Madre Land and Lumber com pany. Later it was decided to continue the road to a connection with the Can anea, Yaqui River and Pacific.
 The Sierra Madre and Pacific rail road, or Colonel Greene, secured g concession from the Mexican govern ment some time ago for line of this road, starting from Guzman station south of Fl Paso. and running east just south of the international line

 There would always be the undiscov- cred north pole at which to dash and our ancestor. the anthropoid ape, to study in his native wilds, and the Andes and the Alps and the noun tains of the moon to climb and write from. The mine of material is mex haustible to the pen of writer whose name is one with which to conjure subscribers and advertisers. -
 For President Roosevelt to barter the product of his pen for a paltry dollar word when he could almost without an effort build up million aire magazine. is reckless thriftless- ness. Possibly it is too late for him to avail himself of the incaleulable profits that might arise from the adop- tion of this well-neant and perfectly sound advice If so 1t is regrettable that the man of all men who is equip ped to establish an immensely sue cessful magazine should content him self with being a mere contributor.

ROOSEVELT SHOULD START A MAGAZINE.

It is announced from Oyster Bay that President Roosevelt has con. tracted to sell his African output to a prominent magazine at prices which Mir. Loeb does not quote. This Is a business mistake of the fist magni- tude Before going to Africa Presi- dent Roosevelt should establish a mag azine and get all of the profit upon his popularity.
 President Roosevelt is today the best advertised man in the world. No publication could hope to compete with magazine boasting Theodore Roosevelt as editor-in-chief, says the Louisville CourierJournaI.
 What filter field for the activities of a man of President Roosevelts var jed capabilities and naturally editor ial mind than the headship of a per iodical devoted to subjects with whicn he is conversant and upon which he delights to write such as, for instance, politics, domestic science, finance, hy- giene, morality, sanitation, the divorce question, travel, race suicide, big game hunting, tanning the horse, the habits of the cow-puncher, observing the Sabbath, ornfthology. the glacial period, the United States senate, in- door athletics, the rien malefactor, the army and navy. architecture, for vsrry, motherhood, camping out. arc ne hundred others. There is, in fact, almost no subject Save tie tariff upon which President Roosevelt is not ready 10 speak or write entertainingly at a moments notice.
 The trip to Africa would establish the magazine, with its resultant flow or thrillers about overcoming the lion in his den boarding the rhinceros in his lair, bringing down Nhe elephant in his tracks, checking the crocodile barehanded, hunting the hippopotamus in a John boat, catching the maIaka single-handed, letting the giraffe have it in the neck and shooting antelope, gazelIes and such small deer for light exercise between tall tussles with the king of beasts and the grand dukes of the jungle. Upon his return from the dark continent the former president might easily assign himself as war correspondent to some theater of military movements. large or small Desiring a short rest at home he could

WANTS TO RETIRE JUNGLE JOE"

The Kansas City Star argues that it would be a good thing if demo cratic congress were elected to serve with Taft as president It says that the country knows full well thst if Taft were elected and Cannon re mained in the speakers chair the boss of the house would obstruct progres siye policies under the new admins tration just as he did in the last ses sion of congress. The dominant party is under suspicion because Of the re actionary strength in that session and in the republican convention. Taft himself is from the people. and hi: nomination was forced by the people but a convention thoroughly ana heartily controlled by what he repre- sents would have stayed ln sessior another week rather than have made any combination that could have re suited in the selection of man like Sherman for vice-president or the re jection of the La Toilette resolution providing for the publicity of cam paign contributions"
 The reaetionaries were under par dal restraint only; it has been shown .hat they stin have strong grip or the. party machinery, and there is reason to believe. the Star urges. that Taft and the people at large would get better support from democratic hpuse than they would from house such as the present, dominated by Speaker Cannon.

MAKING BEAUTY
A CRIME


 What is in enect bill to abolish matrimony has been introduced in the Georgia legislature by Assemblyman Glenn. The measure provides that
 if any woman. whether maid or widow, shall betray into matrimony any unsuspecting male subject of the state by scents, paints, powder or perfume, cosmetics. waters. artificial teeth, false hair, iron stays. corsets, pads or padding. hoops or high-heeled shoes, Y-cut waists, lace, variegated, drop-stitched or rainbow hosiery, or by any other deceitful means or art ful practices, the marriage, upon con viction shall be null and void.
 Is this the spirit of the new south? asks the New York World. The bill violates the most sacred traditions of southern chivalry. It was framed by a misogynist, and if passed will indict the Georgia legislature for ungallantr, and for hostility not only to the fair Sex but to the author of my policies. Under such law matrimony would languish and race suicide become 8 real peril. Kings and parliameuts have sought to regulate female cos tune, but never so drastically or with so callous disregard of the con sequences. zee.
 Assemblyman Glenn's bill is con trary to the law of nature which brings "a livelier iris to the burn ished dove" and puts rainbow plum age on other birds in the mating sea son. It subverts the law of sex attrac- tion. It attacks an inalienable right of women and is altogether revolu- tionary.
 Shall little feet no longer like mice peep in and out? Must they be shod in brogans? Shall no sweet disorder in the dress kindle in cloths a wanton- ness? Shall there be no winning wave in tempestuous petticoat? Not even Marcel wave in the hair? Maud Muller in the field when the judge rides by must veil her charms. The Georgia legislative prudes indeed condemn stage coryphees, summer girls, society women, stenographers, all womankind alike, to a uniform Chinese costume indistinguishable from masculine attire.
 Fie on the legislation that would make it a misdeameanor for women to employ the arts which contribute most to masculine happiness!

DEMOCRATIC BARBECUE FOR RATIFICATION

The Warren Democratic Club has already determined upon grand bar becue to be given at Lewis Springs sometime after the territorial eonven- tion to be held at Prescott on August sth. It is the purpose of the club to arrange to have Hon. Mark Smith as the principal orator and it is pro posed to make the occasion a ratifca. ton of the nomination of William Jennings Bryan for president and the nomination of Hon. Mark Smith for delegate to congress from Arizona.
 It is the intention to invite the dem ocrats of the entire county to be present and participate in the barbe- cue and the ceremonies attending it.
 The proposition of the Warren Dis triet club should arouse the enthu, siasm of democrats throughout the county and make the gathering the largest ever witnessed in the territory of Arizona The railroads no doubt would be glad to make low rate for this democratic barbecue and demo crats would no doubt come to it from Santa Cruz, Graham and Pima coun. ties

Sierra Madre 6 Pacific Sue CeedS in Raising 5p000,000
 for Improvements.

A week ago the Chihuahua Enter prise received word that President Nickerson of the Sierra Madre and Pacific railroad had succeeded in raising S5,G00,0OO to carry out the pro posed extension of that line and for which concessions have already been received from the Mexican govern ment. After this report was pub lished in Chihuahua the following ap- Peared in the Fl Paso Herald:
 Tt is reported that the officials of the Rio Grande Siera Madre and Pa. cific have successfully completed ne gotiations for $5000,000 and that the road will immediately be extended from Casas Grandes to a connection with the Cananea, Yaqui River and Pacific railroad in Sonora.
 There is no positive confirmation of the report, but President Nickerson and General Manager Meade are now in New York and it is known that ne gotiations of this character have been pending, so there appears to be some reason for believing this news to be correct. The report came from Ma deTa. the headquarters of the Sierra Madre and Pacific, and the local off cers of the company have heard of it, but have had no direct inrormauonI from Mir Nickerson. Mir. Meade left last Wednesday for New York w.ere MT. Nickerson has been for con- siderable time, and this is also taken as an indication that the deal was about to be consummated. The pro posed line of the road is through the state of Chihuahua. crossing the Chi huahua and Pacific at or near SantoI Tomas. from where 1t is 70 run west through the Sierra Madre mountains 10 Tonichic. in the Yaqui river valley irn Ahn .fnio nl Gnnnra

5REVITY IN
 POLITICAL SPEECH

Tsft's speech in acknowledging the 7otlfciation of his nomination handed by him by the committee named by the republican national convention for that purpose was Of sufficient length to fill one page of the average news paper. It was the longest speech of the kind ever delivered by any can didate for president in this country Modern American politics is getting to be wretchedly verbose. If Taft's let ter of acceptance is comparatively as long as his speech it will require sev- eral newspaper pages to hold it, as the letter of acceptance is supposed to be the medium used by a candidate to state his views and give reason for the faith which is in him at length and in detail.
 In a recent editorial the New York World thus spoke concerning brevity in political speech:
 Platforms are too long; speeches are too long; letters are too long; messages, are too long. The repub- lican platform of 1860 was considered formidable at length and justly sub ject to criticism on that account It was longer than all the other plat forms combined, yet it could have been printed in a single column of the World. It>was not half as long as the republican platform of this year and hardly a fourth as long as the demo- cratic platform, yet it heralded the greatest crisis in the lifetime of the republic.
 One of RooseveIts messages to con gress is longer than all of Lincoln's and nearly as long as all of Washing tons, Jeferson's public utterances were usually brief, and he made no speeches at all.
 The Declaration of Independence is short. The Constitution is short. The Kentucky and Virginia resolutions are short. Washington's Farewell Address tires nobody to read. Neither does JeTerson's first or second inaugural. Both of Lincoin's inaugural addresses were brief. The immortal Gettysburg speech required less than two minutes to deliver. It will be remembered long after 100000 words of Roosevelt's messages are forgotten.
 Brevity is good politics. It may even be high statesmanship. The candidate who makes one word grow where two grew before is a benefactor of his party and of mankind.
