harriman,s 100000.

From the New York World.
As we understand Mr.. Roosevelts de-
Tense of the Hartman campaign contri-
BUTTON
1. 1t was entirely proper for Mr.. Roose-
welt to solicit this money, because he in
tended to bunco Hartman and did bunco
him.
2. Secrecy was necessary because Mr.
Roosevelts motives might have been
misconstrued by low-minded persons who
would see in the transaction a sordid at
tempt on the part of Hartman to con-
troll the presidency through the use of
tainted money.
8. Publicity of such a contribution be-
fore election might have thwarted the
high moral purpose of Mr.. Roosevelt in
separating Hartman from his money
without giving him anything in return.
4. Other presidential candidates should
never be permitted to engage in similar
negotiations, because even were they suf-
ficlently patriotic to repudiate the moral
obligation they would not, be sufficiently
practical to deceive a man like Harri-
man.
5. The fact that 1t was Theodore Roose-
welt who did this is a complete answer
to all hostile criticism.
Having defended the contribution, per-
haps Mr.. Roosevelt will now explain just
how the money was used. as Hartman
said. to turn $4,000 votes in the election.

About d~week ago the friends of the sheriff of Maricopa county were in formed by that most truthful young man that he intended going to Los Angeles for a convict. Two days later these same friends learned of the mar riage of MT. Hayden to Miss Downing in San Bernardino.
 Up to last Saturday MT. Hayden was public property and of course some thing had to be done to even up the joke. Therefore some thirty of his friends visited him and his bride time and turned lose the sweet strains of innuinerable oil cans, horns, COW be Ills and other melodious contrivances. The serenade was notable, not so much for it's harmony as it's volume. Con- trary to his lifelong custom MT. Hay den arose on first call (said call last ing about thirty minutes). came forth and greeted his friends and a little lat CT introduced his charming bride whom he said had been sent up for life her crime being the theft or his heart. His friends thereupon wished them a very long and happy welded life and de- parted with the assurance that boxes of cigars would be placed at convenient cigars were forthcoming yesterday and Tempe smoked at MT.

4 VALUABLE FIND

Jimmy Baldwin, the horse shoer at Attaways basksmith shop yesterday went 10 Phoenix to file on d tract of government land lying east of town. Mir Baldwin is new conner in Mesa, and since his arrival has become very much interested in irrigated lands.
 Ii is somewhat of d mystery how this valuable piece of government land lying within a distance of only about four miles east of here, came to be overlooked at the time when govern ment lands in this section of the coun- try were so eagerly sought after and taken up. However this has proved to be a piece of good fortune for Mir. Baldwin. and upon his discovery of it he lost no time in taking advantage of this exceptionally good opportunity of possessing the making of a fine farm in this valley.
