STRANGERS AND
NEIGHBORS.

A want ad in one of the Kansas
City papers announced that strangers
in the city who had come there to
make their home were asked TO call
up certain telephone numbers as
there was an organization of church
women who desired to know and be-
come the friends OF the strangers.
The want ad brought several expert
mental calls from people in the city.
the method of procedure being to ask
what would those who had requested
the call do for the strangers. The
answer was that tley stood ready to
help in any way possible-that they
wanted to be of service TO those who
had but recently arrived in town, and
4 this especially for girls.
There is a world OF opportunity for
! just such work as the Kansas City
women propose to carry on, says the
Fort Worth Record. Strangers in
town! What a peculiar, helpless,
hopeless meaning thaC phrase can &C
quire under certain circumstances. If
the stranger happen to be a young
woman out of work, compelled to have
work, and also without knowledge of
where she can find quarters to live in
which are at once adaptable to her
needs and her purse, the phrase has
almost targic turn. To be sure,
there are organizations which look to
these things, but organization, unfor-
tunately, means rod tape, and red
tape means delay and sometimes en-
barrassment There is none of that
with the women in Kansas City, who
merely want to DC helpful, useful
sympathetic acquaIntances of the new
ly arrived. And We, as men and wo
men, don't have to live in Kansas City
nor do we need TO put ads in the
newspapers to be genuinely helpful
and sympathetic not only to the
stranger within our gates but to those
who have lived alongside of us. come
and gone on the same car with US,
whom we have still permitted to re-
main strangers and weep for their
own sorrows and rejoice for their own
joys while we very selfishly concern

NO NEW PARTY.

In 1900, Debs, the socialist nominee
for the presidency, received $4,000
votes. In 1904 his vote rose to 402,-
900. This year 1t is less than 1t was
four years ago, though larger than in
1900. 1t may be conceded that his
comparatively large vote In 1904 was
due to democratic dissatisfaction with
the nomination of Parker, but nobody
who knows anything of the genesis
and growth of political parties in this
country viii pay any attention to his
claim that the result this year shows
substantial gains for his party, If par
ty it may be called.
Neither revolutions nor evolutions
move backward. II there were fu-
ture for any sort of a socialist party
in this country Dcbs would this year
have increased his vote of four years
ago to million or whereabouts. So
cialism is not uenacing factor in
our politics, and cannot be until our
dominating Anglo-saxon, Irish-Ameri-
can and German-American population
is supplanted by p, ople of different
breed.
There is only an infinitesimal ele-
ment of our population that does not
believe that civilization and progress
depends upon the rights of property
and the principle that every good citi-
zen should be a creator of wealth and
that he should keep as much Of It for
himself and his family as he honestly
can. The successful citizen may con-
tribute out of his abundance to the
aid of the unfortunate, but he con-
cedes the right of no man to claim
a share of what is lawfully his.
The main issue between our great
national parties will be in the future,
as it has been in the past, between
those who believe With Jefferson that
there should be equal rights for ali,
special privileges to none, and those
who seek to use government for pri-
vate gain.
The democratic party holds fast its
unrelaxing grasp upon the Jefferson
ian doctrine. A vast majority Of the
American people are inspired by the
same principle. And when the fact
becomes apparent thGs President-elect
Taft cannot convert the republican
party into a real party of the people
they will turn again to the democratic
party for a square deal.

THE REFERENDUM
IN SOUTH DAKOTA.

South Dakota has voted its divorce
mills out of business and itself out
of notoriety at the same time Soon
a rear's residence Will be a condition
precedent to suit for divorce and
tire proceedings will be public Hence
fortl; of South Dakota less will be
heard, but what is heard will be bet
ter.
However, the referendum exercised
to correct the Law also operated to
stay the time of its correction.
referendum is constitutional IN South
Dakota. 1t was also practically obso-
lete until the legislature sought to
revise the divorce statute of its own
motion. The lawyers who had been
reapirg a harvest Of dollars from the
lax law dragged ths referendum pro-
vision into the light and insisted on
the constitutional method of proceed
ure
By this means a long delay was
gained. Instead of an immediate re-
vision of the obnoxious law by legisIa-
tive action the slow method was Sc
cured and It will be some months be-
fore the law goes into effect as the
result of the referendum, while the
interested lawyers rave promised the
interjection of technicalities which
may arrest the law for two or three
years yet. Could anything more ri
diculous be conceived than this meth
cd of avoiding, If only for time. not

ARlZONA'S
ANNUAL FAIR.
iron is hot. >

Now that the 1908 territorial annual
fair has come to an end and the peo-
pie of the territory who attended 1t
have returned to their homes. we be-
lieve it can be said with truth that the
fair was pleasing and instructive to
all and that while there may have
been some complaint of some of the
features, yet, as a whole, the result
has been satisfactory to all.
The fair was a success both from
a financial standpoint and from the
standpoint of excellency of the exhib-
its which were presented to the visi-
tors. The attendance was not only
large from nearly every county in the
territory, but there we're many visi.
tors from adjoining states, especial,
ly from California, New Mexico and
Texas.
The territorial fair has been a cred
it to the territory from the first one
held until the last one this year which
is described as by far the best ever
held. The results Of the past should
encourage our people to expect even
/ greater results from this enterprise
in the future and that such results
may be assured there should be gen
eral agreement that liberality should
be extended in its support.
Two years ago The fair commission
asked for an. appropriation for some
additional buildings for the fail
grounds which we understand are
badly needed, worse now than twC
years ago. The members of the las
legislature refused to provide for any,
more buildings on the ground tina
calls for appropriations had been I'm
usually heavy on account of provid
ing for the new penitentiary and 9th
er public improvements connected
with public institutions which wer,
pressing needs.
! at the meeting OF the territoria
teachers institute held last week il
Tucson a resolution was passed ask
ing the legislature to make an appro
priation for the erection of a build
ing on the fair grounds to be used TO
school exhibits. If the legislature cal
see its way to such an appropriation
1t should be provided Such a build
ing would be a standing advertise
ment of our excellent public schoo
system, of which we should all fee
proud.
other buildings ale needed on tn
f3,ir ground and the legislature mex
winter should provide what is needed
so that the fair may continue to groV
and reflect credit ON the progressiv
spirit of Arizona.
Too much praise cannot be give
to the members OF the territorial fai
commission for the good work the
have done in providing such an exec
lent annual fair The commission
now composed Of Hon B. A Packard
OF Douglas; Hon. J. c. Adams, c
! Phoenix. and Hon. J. B. Hockett, Q
Flagstaff. The two former have bee
on the commission ever since # wa
created and they are especially d.
serving of the thanks of the territor
for the interest they have manifesto
at all times for the success of tn
fair.
