Ashurst Out for Senator

According to the Prescott Jour- nal Miner, Henry F. Ashurst, dis. trict attorney of Csooniao county, has announced himself as . candi. date for United States senator as soon as Arizona is admitted into the Union. That paper says that when Ashurst passed through Pres. colt Sunday night on his way to Phoenix to see the fair, he told several friends at the depot that he will enter tho race for the senator ship as soon as Cameron succeeds ia putting Arizona's star on the flag. Of course. he didn't say any. thing about Cameron. but 1t is. evident that he is counting pretty strongly upon his fellow towns man doing right away what Mark Smith failed to do in twenty years. Ashurst has many friends among the. demoerats. and as he is the first in the field as an active san- didate for a ssnatorship, there are many who believe he will be suo. cessful.

A BOLD ROBBERY
Safe in the News Office Broken
 Into..-Over $500 Taken

Between the hours of 10 o'clock
 last Sunday evening and o'clock
 Monday morning the safe in this
 office was robbed of sum of m oney
 mounting to over $500 Entra nee
 was had through the front door, the perpetrator of the burglary evi- dently having a key that fitted the lock.
 The proprietor of the paper was at work during the evening, and it ls possible that when he left the building he failed to set the combi- nation to the safe. The robber, af- ter gaining access to the room, ex- tinguished the incandsscsnt light which is left burning during the night. the burnt ends of many matches showing that he used them in lieu of tho electric light.
 The work of forcing the cash drawer was not a difficult matter, and it, with the entire contents, was taken. The money was nearly all in bills, although there was some coin ia the drawer and two money orders for small amounts. The cash drawer taken has not vet been found.
 The officers were notified at once i and immediately began a vigorous search. Sheriff Francis was inde- fatigable in his efforts, and last evening a clue was obtained which will ia all proba bility result in the capture of the criminal, al- though, from all that can be asesr- tained at present, it is not likely that any of the stolen money will be recovered.

Will Help Coconino County

The sale of the Hum boldt smslter proposition, which took place at Prescott last Tuesday, means much for all sections of northern Arizona. The purohase price, including the mortgages, amounted to $46O,OOO. The purchasers are men of large means. If the sale is confirmed. which it will undoubtedly be, . general resumption of work will begin. The 10th of December is the day set for the confirmation of the sale. As a sign that the new company is going to accomplish something, miners are at once go- ing to work to do $4,0OO worth of asssssment work on mining claims that were bought in with the smell ter. It is probable the smelter will be in operation early in 1909.

time Investigations have been held in
large cities with the object of cleaning

is fair to assume that no conditions
and circumstances like those revealed
by the famous LeXow investigation in
New York could now exist. The If
teenth convention of the International
Association of Chiefs of Police now in
session at Denver has been treating the
subject of crime, offenders and police
with marked regard for the ethical as
poets of the problem. The chief of
police of Cleveland made a remarka-
BILE address, in which he defined police
duty as being something intended to
help and protect society and not merely
to regulate and interfere with it. He
says that in his experience wholesale
arrests for minor offenses do no good.
On the contrary. they do harm. He
said: "In my experience they brought
disgrace, humiliation and suffering to
countless innocent persons in no way
responsible for the acts of a thought
less, careless, mischievous or even, If
you will, malicious first offender.
finally concluded it was our duty not
to help unfortunates on their down.

EVERY MAN TO HIS TRADE

If you do not know how to write or read
And figures are meaningless to you,
Your case is pitiful one, indeed.
But don't give up as the foolish do:
There may be rewards that you still can
earn.
You. too. on the splendid sheights may
dwell,
For surely no man is too dull to learn
How to do some one thing we'll.
If you cannot paint and you cannot sing,
And you guide fleets oer stormy seas,
Perhaps II you try, you can learn to swing
With surprising skill on the gay trapeze.>
For It's every man to his trade. you know;
Let the minstrel sing and the warrior
fight.
And surely no man Is too weak to show
How to do some one thing right.
Though you cannot toot on the clarinet,
And the trombone nils you with wild
alarm,
You may have the gift that one needs to get
living out of the peaceful farm;
Only the weak man suffers doubt
To bear him down or to haunt his breast,
And only the fool will not find out
How to do some one thing best
If the eggs are stale that the heartiess
When you speak your lines in the part
you play,
DO not be crushed by the cruel blow.
But strive to win in some other way;
There are picks to swing. there are cranks
to turn,
There are nails to drive and there's corn
to shell,
You. too, may possess the wit to learn
How to do some one thing we'll

OREGON

n REGIONS popular choice for United
States senator is Governor George
~ Chamberlain, Democrat. By a
handsome majority he defeated his Re-
publican opponent. George NJ. Cake,
and polled the Roosevelt vote and more.
1t is to be hoped the Legislature, which
still by an antiquated absurdity must
approve or disapprove the popular
choice, will ratify the election of Cham
berlain. We will not suggest that the
legislators won't. We will refrain from
limiting they might be un-American and
foolish. We take it for granted they
will obey the peoples will and hope the
principle of government of the people,
by the people and for the people will
become an actual and not merely a
nominal institution in the United
States. With this hope expressed, we
call attention to the fact that the voters
of Oregon are tired of the phrase RE
publican prosperity" that wild howls
concerning the probable fate of the
country under Democratic rule have no
terrors for them, that the voice of the
Republican charmer has lost its cum
ming and it's power to charm. No one
need be astonished at the verdict of
Oregon. 1t is not wise to try to at
tribute the Democratic victory to the
popularity of the candidate alone. No
doubt his popularity had something to
do with his success; but much more
potent factor in 1t was this: The
country is tired of Republican brag
bluster and do-lessness, and sick of the
progress of poverty and ignorance under
a moneybags administration, which

Drink BILL

~ VERY year the American nation
II pours down its throat in liquid
- form $213 501, III. Drinks that are
not stimulants are not included in this
calculation. In addition to stimulating
beverages many hundreds of thousands
of dollars worth of soft drinks, ginger
ale, soda fountain connections. etc, are
swallowed every year We do not like
to wound the feelings of honest people
who imagine that they have always
been strictly TT" but candor and
public duty compel us to state that
coffee, tea and cocoa are all classed as
stimulants. In spite of the progress
of prohibition, the per capita consump-
tion of spirituous liquors for the year
ending June 30, 1907, is the highest on
record, reaching 25.53 gallons per cap
ita, an increase over 1906 of 127 gallons.
The advance in consumption of distilled
spirits from 1.52 gallons per capita in
1906 to 1.63 gallons in 1907 is more not
able than an increase Of ~ gallon in
the use of wine and rise of IA gallons
in beer. The nation spends an average
of over 81, 500, 900, 900 annually for stim-
ulating beverages, a sum about as great
as the appropriations of congress for a
session. Nearly double as much per
capita is spent for drink as is spent for
the maintenance OF public schools.

Is AN ORGANIZATION OF

Herald: Referring to my letter In
comment upon that Of Mr.. Thomasson.
and Mr.. Downing's comment upon
both, I am at one with the latter when
he asks, what is a government II not
an organization?" I am not at all so
sure, however, that an organization Is
necessarily a government. think l
grasp the meaning Of Socialists VINO
have told me they do not contemplate
having a government" but only an
organization. Their aim Is to abolish
classes, and government" must, In
our present habit Of thought, inevita-
bly, smack of classes, implying as It
does governing element Zone class)
and the governed (another class). They
claim however, II understand right
ly, that their organization, being
voluntary arrangement between equals
Zone class only, would not be a
government. in the now commonly
accepted meaning of the word, since,
while there would be an efficient al
location of necessary offices and duties
in the administration of affairs there
would yet be no one class govern

This seems to me consistent and RAJ
tional enough, and If all the claims Oh

SUNDAY ELooUENCE

q ONE people are grieved because
- Billy Sunday delivered a sermon in
~ which he spoke his mind too freely.
We neither approve nor disapprove Mr..
Sundays utterances. If he spoke after
investigation, and if his remarks were
founded on ascertained facts, he had a
right to talk as he did, and will do
good. If he is merely blatherskite, he
will do no harm. But the point which
should attract attention Is that ortho-
dox religious life is in such groove
and the average sermon is such a staid,
reserved or even timid composition
that we can hardly imagine what would
be the effect produced by bold preach
er who would address his congregations
as broods of serpents, generations OF
vipers, whited sepulchers, fools, blind
men, children of hell, sons of perdition,
etc. Some will believe Mr.. Sunday was
following a remarkably high and good
example.

noon meetings, referred to in The
Herald as soon to be inaugurated, be
looked after by the members. Let all
strangers in the city have the call and
our own live speakers-such gentle
men as Judge Wilbur and Librarian
Lumnfis-be asked to briefly discuss
any subjects promotive of the public
welfare.
OF old time, two of the greatest men
who thus discussed "in the market
place" were Socrates and Jesus, but
both these, the best orators and
thinkers of all times. were murdered
by the priestly cult because Of their
modernism. The 10 heres" and the
