IS P|NCHED FOR
 STEALING CENTS
 WORTH 0F WATER
But Is Discharged by Court Af- ter Reprimand; Valuation
 of a Bucketful.

Charged with stealing bueket of water valued at one cent, from the Pinal Mountain Water company, George Despudk, resident of North Globe, was arraigned in Judge Thomas court yesterday. The warrant was sworn out by City Officer William Stal. lard. Despudk apparently has his own ideas about public service corporations, He had no water connection at his home and he mad a habit of "borrow. ing1 his supply of aqua pura from the bydrant of neighbor. The water com. pany saw where it was losing about two and a half plunks per month and tired to get Despudk to come through but he gave them the equine ehuckle and continued patronizing his neigh bor s hydrant.
 The case was puzzle for Judge Thomas, owing to the fact that the ter ritorial statutes do not consider it a crime to steal from a public service cor poration which deals in water, electri city or gas, unless 1t is filehed by some connection, viz, pipe, wire, etc, made by the looter, so the court contcnted itself by administering severe rebuks Ito the defendant and allowing him tc go. Tears of sympathy for the water company were shed in the court as the judge eloquently and pathetically lee tured to the defendant on the severity of his offcnse in takin bread out ot the mouths of the water company stock. holders and it is presumed that the de fendant immediately hicd himself to the office of tho company and put up tho price for a month s supply of the stuff that cheers but does not inebriatc.

advent OF William j. Bryan as the
national leader of Democracy, the re-

the democratic candidates on the Ia

case destroyed public confidence,
caused business stagnation and re
trenchIlent and greatly lowered the
price of all farm products until the
threat of democratic success was

the enactment of the un-American

The attitude of Mr.. Bryan indicates
such a separation of good and bad

ton; their plan spells failure from

tell where the democrats stand, the

unintelligible to the best legal talent

Candidate Kern closes by asserting
that honest business enterprises hon
estly conducted have nothing to fear
FROM the democratic party. Honest
business has everything to fear from
the democratic party. The farmer
has everything to fear because demo-
cratic policies will largely close his
home market and reduce the price OF
every product of the farm; the work
man from the same causes will see
mills and factories close and see an
other period of forty men for every
job; the merchant may fear because
when the farmer and workman do not
prosper he cannot possibly enjoy pros
perity. There is but n insurance
policy to be obtained against these
threats Of evil: Nebraska for Taft
is the slogan of the hour, an insur-
ance against the storm of disaster and
business depression which threatens
at every period when democracy as
now constituted, organized and di-
rected, assumes to grasp the reins OF
national administration Candidate
Kern is either joking or presumes the
ignorance of the American PEOPLE and
their inability to remember their own
history for a period of ten short years.

concern of which Tom Taggart is the
head. The character of the French
Lick resort has been exploited By the
newspapers and is well known to the

this institution makes a decidedly
~odoriferous running mate for Bryan,
many of whose supporters seem to
think that he is the author Of the
ten commandments, the Sermon on
the Mount and the golden rule. Demo

combination of sport and spotlessness
as a winner when they nominated
Kern as tail to the Bryan kite and

Of voting age, the democratic vice
presidential candidate approaches the
people in a newspaper interview
with a promise of restoring public
confidence, opening factories to the

This is either unconscious comedy
or hypocritical assurance on the part
of Candidate Kern and the assump-
ton that the people have already for
gotten the history and experience of
