Franchises chief of police, who
was drowned recently in San
Francisco bay while returning to
the city in police patrol boat
after conference with police
commissioner at Belvedere, lit
tie town across the bay from San
Francisco.
Biggy's drowning, coming on top
of the Heney shooting and the sui
eide of Morris Haas. Heney's as
sailant. took on, at first, a sinister
aspect in the eyes of San Fran
ciscans.
The police chief had been bit
terly attacked as being largely re-
sponsible for allowing Haas to
make away with himself just when
detectives were endeavoring to
prove that there was a conspiracy
behind the Shooting of Heney.

BY MAY WOOD siMoNs

Where is the favorite breeding
spot of the tuberculosis bacilli that
is no respecter of person or class?
In the slum neighborhoods, in the
places---not the homes,
mind you-of the impoverished and
submerged poor, and in the I'M
sanitary, stuffy, dark and dirty
shops and factories in which those
same poor are ordered to grind out
profits for soulless, greedy capital
lists, whose god is the almighty
dollar and who care nothing for the
lives or health of their workers.
In Chicago. in New York, in
Boston, Philadelphia, Pittsburg and
other industrial centers tens of
thousands of children are forced
into shops and factories, where
stunted and diseased bodies be-
come their heritage. They are
old at II, and their lives are prac-
tically over at 40. What chance
has a little girl or boy of IL or
IA to grow strong and healthy
when robbed of its play days and
school days; when plunged into the
industrial mill for 10 hours day?
The rudy glow of health and
life, the CHEEKY laugh of sweet
childhood, early disappear to make
place for the dull, sunken eye, the
hollow cheek and .shiveled form.
Poor food and clothing and bad
housing complete the wreck of the
young frame. 1t becomes a ready
victim of disease. which Is bound
to spread to other children, and
even eats it's way into the houses
of the rich. No class Is immune

from smallpox. and those who

punishable by the severest penal
ties, to cause children to work in
doors before they are IS years of
age. Those who engage in this un-
holy traffic are not only doing a
tremendous injustice to the present
generation, but they are commit
ting a crime against posterity. The
barbarous races display more
mercy toward their young than
many of our so-called civilized and
pious money grabbers.
But, aside from all humanitarian
considerations. the exploitation of
child labor is unscientific and an
economic absl rdity. 1t must be
remembered that wherever child
labor prevails, the competition of
the children cuts down the wages
of the adult or reduces his oppOr-
tunity for employment. Taken alto

THE SKY Is CLEAR
 ON CONVENTION EVE
But Little Could Be Found Out Last Night Forecasting the Events of To- day.

Yesterday the city began to blossom out in the national colors with which the business houses generally will be decorated today in honor of the meet ing of the republican territorial con Vention.
 Several delegates arrived on the early trains yesterday and a few more came during the day but the greater number by far will not arrive until this morning. It was practically i'm possible last evening to secure a fore cast of convention events, by reason of the fact that it is a real republican convention, and is not working in ac- cordance with cut and dried plans. Though many of the leaders were here, they did not assume to perfect their plans until all are on the ground and they can not only confer with each other but with the voting strength be- hind them. the individual delegates, who represent the great republican constituency of the territory.
 As the delegates scattered through out the city no complete list of those on the ground was available but among the men who were in evidence were, w. s. Sturgis. national committeeman and delegate from Pima county, Mott E. Guild of Pinal, William Shilliam of Bensen. Hoval A. Smith, and w. P. McNair of Bisbee, Chas. A. Overlook of Douglas, George. Mauk and George H. Smalley of Globe, J. l.. Hubbell and Alfred Ruiz of Apache county and perhaps a dozen others whose names were not secured. There will be a whole trainload of them here from the south this morning and quite a dele gation from the north and it is expect ed the caueussing will begin early.
 It was announced last evening by the Maricopa delegates that they would hold a caucus this morning at S:45 in the office of Capt. George D. Christy in the Fleming block Con- corning the probable temporary organ ization it was early announced that Attorney General E. S Clark would be considered in connection with the chairmanship. Mention was also nlSde of J. L. Hubbell of Apache county and it was said in his interest that while he is particularly friendly to the ad- ministration, he would be equally as popular selection with those who have at one time or another taken is- sue with it in matters of party man. agement. He comes from a section of the territory that all will delight to honor and has at no time been aligned with any factional course in either central or southern Arizona.
 Altogether there seems on conven- tion eve to be no cause for worry on the part of anybody. except the demo- crats and the convention is likely to present no more excitement than that which follows earnest and friendly riv- airy for the honors and careful judg- ment in matters of policy.

PHoENIX, ARIZONA, AUG. p, 1908.
DEMOCRATIC CONCERN.

Only pity and commiseration can be expressed for those misguided demo- cratic newspapers that for a week past have been deploring what they affect to believe is an ingrowing dis cord in the republican party of the territory Inhar1nnny- is such a chronic ailment with the democracy that it fancies every other party is equally as distressed and that every demonstration of republican enthusi- asm is a symptom of pain.
 The normal condition of the demo- crats is a state of coma and they are aroused to energetic action only sharpening of their tomahawks. It is a party of dead issues. Rather it harmoniously accepts a principle or policy only after it has been per fected by republican experiment and become recognized as a fundamental. The republican party in contrast owes its virility to its conservatism in the consideration of new conditions and the cool judgment with which it meets their demands. But great things cannot be safely done in a minute. Republicans recognize this fact and moreover they come out in the open to discuss their views. They confer with each other and sometimes express their mutual diff ferences, keeping always in mind that they are living for a purpose. The interest of republicans in pri- maries, and in conventions, is the best evidence of their working strength and republican conferences may seldom be rightly spoken of as war councils until after the issues have been plainly made between that party and the democrats.
 The democratic newspapers that are turning their eyes toward Phoe- nix today in the hope of seizing upon some republican error as a common target for an assault that will make them forget their own differences, are doomed to. a most embarrassing disappointment The republicans will meet today for the purpose of nom mating a candidate who has the qualifications insuring his election to succeed Marcus A. Smith as dele gate to congress. The making of political capital for the democrats is no part of their plan and they are as wise to the situation as the opposi- tion possibly can be.

VISITORS WELCOMED.

In the name of the city The Repub- lican welcomes today the delegates to the territorial republican convention, hoping their stay will be a pleasant one.

It is easier to criticize than to cor rect. a fact all should remember when discussing the Springfield, Illinois, riots Doubtless most of the good people in that city appreciate the foolishness displayed by ignorance and criminality in giving way to pas sion, as fully as people elsewhere do. and would have prevented it if they could. The least the press and pub lie can do in the premises is to give the law and order element of that city all possible moral support in its efforts to bring the offenders to jus tice. The work of the grand jury is a delicate one and even more em- barrassing is the duty laid upon many of the citizens who could give valuable testimony if they dared to but who are withheld by the fear that it will involve friends and neigh bors against whom they have no per

COLONEL STURGIS
 ON lHE SITUATION
He Feels That Today's Work Will Not Be the Performance of an Idle and Perfunctory Duty.

Colonel ". s. Sturges the republican national committeeman, was interview ed last evening as to the situation of the party in Arizona. The colonel was very positive in his views as to the chances for the republicans electing a delegate to congress. He believes that success will be assured if the party nominates a representative republican for delegate to congress and makes an earnest and aggressive campaign to elect him.
 The national committee have given Col Sturges positive assurances that they will do everything in their power to help the republicans of Arizona in the coming campaign.
 Colonel Sturges has just returned from three months spent in the East most of that time working to secure the active support of the national com mittee in the coming campaign and to secure its aid in the passage of a statehood bill at the next session of congress.
 The national chairman, Hon. F. H. Hitchcock is a warm friend of Arizona and largely through his efforts the statehood plank was adopted.
 Colonel Sturges says if the republi- cans will work in harmony select a territorial central committee of able and representative men, headed by a broad gauged chairman and secretary who will work Loyalty with the nation al committee the republicans will put up the strongest fight ever made in the territory.
 This is the most important election ever held in Arizona. The election of a republican delegate to congress means immediate statehood.
