THE IMPRINTED.


 The tip of a tentacle of the Stand ard Oil octopus has been discovered within the very national republican committee. That is, it has been found that the manager of the Chicago headquarters, in the absence of MT Hitchcock, is a partner of a man who was once and may be now an attor- ney for the oil trust. We do not know what will follow this disclos- Ure; perhaps the resignation of the acting manager, as it was thought a few days ago Treasurer Sheldon of the republican national committee might be forced to resign on account of his connection with the United States Steel Corporation.
 The managers of both the great parties have gone insane with fear of the effect upon voters of the knowl- edge that men high in the counsels of the parties. men of known ability as well as probity, have been or are now interested in a great corporation.
 The insanity becomes more pro- nounced day by day until the man agers find in a leaders remotest re- latiOn to a corporation an excuse for his political decapitation, just as dur ing the French Reign of Terror, royal or noble blood alone frequently qual- flied victims for the guillotine.
 We do not believe the common people are half so crazy about cor porations as the party managers think they are, or as the party man. agers are themselves. We believe that now, or if not now soon, the masses of the voters would prefer that the affairs of their parties as well as of the country should be directed by sensible, successful and honest business men rather than by practical politicians.
 The interests of business are iden- tical with the interests of the far mer, the miner the merchant and all the best interests of the country. The interests of the practical politi- clans are identical only with those of his kind and are best served when the country is in an uproar-when satisfaction with the present and confidence in the future have been displaced by unrest and distrust.

It is useless therefore to butt against the stonewall at the point where we have been assailing it. The wall there is just as strong as it, was twenty years ago. If we go to the opening in the wall and ask ad- mission as a favor we may get it. We will leave it to any reasonable man to say whether it would not be better to send the republican, Ralph Gamer on, to ask this favor from republi- cans, rather than the democrat, Mar GUS A Smith.
Arizona republican., 1908-09-30
THE LIKELIEsT MESSENGER

We will have to assume that our democratic friends are honest in their belief that the election of MT. Smith would facilitate admission to state hood; that they are earnestly indig- nant at the proposition to relegate MT. Smith to private life when state hood seems so nearly certain, after his undisputed, though we must con- fess, his ineffective services in the direction of admission. Nor, do we pretend that the democratic orators are more deficient in reasoning power than republicans, but we do claim that their zeal has blinded them to the fact that a great change has taken place in the mental attitude of republicans in congress toward the territories
 Hitherto we were barred from statehood by an impregnable stone wall against which we butted our heads without any understanding of its impregnability. The friends of MT. Smith ask us to keep on putting in the same place, oblivious of the fact that an opening has been made in the barrier through which we may enter.
 The time has not yet come for us to enter. It may be next winter or a year from next winter. If at the later period we will be admitted by virtue of the national platform declar- ation of one or the other of the great parties, but if we are admitted at the early period it will be by vir- tue of the republican party alone which is under no obligation of any character to confer statehood so soon.

MT. Taft may lack the magnificent voice of Mir. Bryan, but the best presidents we have ever had have had the least use for voices. If it's a voice the people want, why not take Morphy, who sang in Phoenix a year ago ito beat the band or the Hon. "Rube" Shields, who will shortly be with us Either of these vocally talented gentlemen could give MT. Bryan a megaphone and then sub merge him with sound.
