LACK OF CONSISTENCY.

Robert Morrison, now on the stump for Cameron, D. B. Heard, Roy Good rich, Frank Murphy and in fact every republican who was in Washington aiding in the defeat oi joint statehood, returned loud in their praise of the splendid work done by Mark Smith in behalf of the daieat of that meas ure Yet, in the face of this record, only two years old, we hear many of these same mel decrying Mark Smith and his record in congress. The bfazen effrontery of the Arizona re- publicans on this joint statehood rec ord is appalling, We find President Roosevelt and nearly every repnbll- can member of the lower house utii- izing every possible means at their command to consummate that infamy, backed Up and abetted by large ma. iority of the republican senators with a solid democratic opposition in botn senate and house Yet, in the face of this infamous record, we hear these partisan organs and speakers assault ing Mark Smith for his record on this bill The republican managers of Ari zona must think our people are either forgetfuI or unpardonable ingrates, as they appeal to then, in the name oi statehood, to vote for Cameron as against Mark Smith. We. however know that the peopie of Arizona are neither; they are loyal to their ter sitory and her every interest, ana they will not by any reason of sophis try put aside their sense of justice tc be used to pull office holding chest nuts out of the blazing ashes.
 President Roosevelt and the repub lican national convention both givt their sacred word Of honor that Arr zona shall be admitted to statehoou Now comes the office-holding speak CTS and their organs. and seek t' write the word ''Falsehood" across the declaration of the president ane  his party. The people of Arizona don need advice as to who is trying t' nfslead them.

Much regret is expressed here over the apparent failure of Merry del Val to win his spurs in the higher diplo- macy. If he is not possessed of the divinely given diplomatic genius, as events seem to prove, he is as hign type of his class as the world unas- sisted can evolve. In the artificial adornments. of the professional states man he stands at the head of the list. He is a diplomat by birth, predilec- ton, education, and training. Ills father was the Spanish ambassador in London when Merry del Val was born. His brother, Alfonso, is in the Spanish diplomatic service, and his fathers fathers were statesmen for generations before him.
 Fitted by the traditions of his race, by his mental abilities, by his social tact, personal charm, and constitu-
 eferehces. for diplomatic emi- hence, it is difficult to explain Merry del Vals apparent failure as papal secretary. His lack of success might be attributed, indeed, to his youth and inexperience, fer the Cardinal is not yet 45. Most Of his fellows in the Sacred College were bishops when he was born. But Leo XII. s papal secretary, Cardinal Rampolla, who is likely to return to his old post. was only A when he first assumed the office. His experience was not greater than Merry del VaPs, while his incidental diplomatic accomplish, ments were considerably inferior
 The responsibilities and difficulties of Merry del Val's office. particularly since the rupture with France, may be urged as an explanation of his shortcomings. Of all the diplomatic posts in the world, that of the papal secretary of state unquestionabiy re- Ggires the highest degree of diplo- matic ability properly, to discharge it's functions. Other secretaries of state have soldiers and battleships to give weight to their demands, and they can negotiate with the practical in ternational currency of military or commercial favors and concessions.
 The papal secretary of state, now ever, is the pope's army and navy and treasury. What he wants he must obtain by skillful show of right, and for diplomatic concessions he must offer mutual advantages, sometimes moral, sometimes spiritual, some times sentimental, but always iri- tangibly. The Church having spir- itual subjects all over the world. and comprising two-fifths of Christendom, the secretary must preserve, if pos sible, friendly relations with all na- tions. although the nations them selves are in constant discord. To maintain his equilibrium upon this whirling diplomatic ball. Merry der Val has high qualifications in that sort of acrobatics, but he has also some vulnerable points.

BEN GOODRICH.

Cochise county has bonored itself and the people of Arizona by nominat- ing Ben Goodrich If Tombstone for the council. Ben Goodrich came to Arizona way back :l the early days of Tombstone, days that tried the best that was in man, and during his long residence in Arizona he has al. ways stood in the front rank in the legal profession and second to none in his sterling worth and integrity, a man that can always be depended up on to be on the firing line when men are needed to protect Arizona and her interests. Now that statehood is ap. preaching, it behooyes the people of Arizona to put the best men on guard. We need better laws, better system of county government, and last but not least, we need and must have an up to date model constitution for our new state The people of Arizona love and honor Ben Goodrich; they honor and respect him for his splen- did ability, and his incomparabl, courage as a man. The people of Ari- zona take oT their hats to Cochise county for it's selection of such repre- sentative citizens IS were nominated by the democratic co'.nty convention. Star

IF MERRY DE VAL
 A MYSTERY
Church Diplomat Supposed To Have Been All Powerful In the Affairs of the Roman
 Catholic Church At Rome.

ROME, Oct9.-The probable retire ment of Cardinal Merry del Val from the all-important post of papal secre- tary of state, which is said to have been brought about by representa- tions made to the Vatican by AmeTi- can and English prelates, adds anoth- CT argument to, the contention that the genius of diplomacy. like that of poetry and oratory, in heaven born. something which careful nursing in the most favorable stmospheres can not produce.
 When young Mgr Rsfaele Merry del Val. as he then was, visited Amer ica in 1896, intrusted with the task of ironing out the religious creases made in Canadas politics by the Man itoba school dispute, his first impor- tant mission, a distinguished Amer can lawyer, who met the Paual AbIe- gate twice, said of hfm: Mgr Merry del Val is diplomacy personiffed ana idealized.
 Other persons well qualified to judge expressed the same opinion of the diplomatic abilities of the young papal nuncio. Then it was announc- ed in 903 that the new Pope Plus x. had selected a new secretary of state this same Merry tia: Val. those ae- quainted with his qualifications ex- pressed no surprise. It was, then said, an instance of extraordinary diplomatic talent mounting to it's pro per pedestal.
 Those same wise heads who rec ognized the young eceiesiastie's pow CTS were rather surprised, therefor, when they learned .he past week that the retirement of Merry del Val was imminent and that ne probably would be succeeded by Cardinal Rampolla, who formerly held the office of papal secretary of state.

TRIBUTE TO MARX SMITH.
erucson e.itisen.)

2
 From calm. cool. steady John sharpe Williams. leacer of the demo cratic minority in sse house of repre- sentatiyes and a man who seldom mixes ia the internal affairs of the states and territories. comes a mes sage to Arizonans telling them of how Mark smith is regarded by the big men of Washington. It is a mes sage that was unsolicited but which came straight from the heart of a statesman who won from the reluct- ant lips of Theodore Roosevelt this tribute, .He is great man."
 Clear to Washington had drifted news of the scurrilous campaign be ing conducted against Mark Smith by brigade of hired gum-shoe workers in Arizona. Knowing that they spoke uhtruths these hired men have circu- lated stories of lack of diligence on Mark Smiths part and have eovertly, by lying innuendo. attacked his char acter. John Sharpe Williams. ever opposed to injustice and deceit, has drawn the sword of right and crosses 1t with the sword of calumny. Whom would you believe. the leader of de mocracy in Washington. who knows better than any other living man the record of each democratic congress man and delegate. or the stranger who edges up against you in some public gathering and with a guise Of open friendship drops a scurrilous re- mark or hint.
 The gum-shoe man will tell you that Mark Smith was not regular in his at tendance at the house of representa- tives. John Sharpe Williams says. Mark Smith has been one of the most diligent men in his attendance at the meetings of the house. one of the most yigiIant in watching those things that concern his territory ana one of the most aettve in pushing leg islation which is, in his opinion, good for his constituents and in repressing that which is bad for them"
 The gum-shoes man will tell yoa that Mark Smith once favored joint statehood. John Sharpe Williams says, But for Marx Smith Arizona would now be in the union as part of the state of New Mexico.''
 The gum-shoe man will tell you that Mark Smith had nothing to do with our present splendid opportunity for single statehood John Sharpe Wit Hams says. ''The victory which we won in getting Oklahoma into the un- ion, without joining Arizona and New Mexico, and thereby retaining the op portunity for Arizona to become some day an independent and a great state. was a most excellent and remarkable one when you cousider it was over :he speaker and the management of the house, The Big Five as they are called, and over the expressed de- sires of the president himself"
 We advise every reader of the
 zen to read in full Jchn Sharpe Will liams' letter and from it gauge the character and standing of Mark Smith in Washington. Then let the gum shoe man do his worst and render your verdict at the polls.

CONFfSSES ATTEMPT TO
WRECK CALIFORNIA TRAIN

Watsonvllle, CAL, Aug. 6.-South-
ern Pacific railroad detectives are
making vigorous search in this VI
cinity today for three lumbermen,
following a statement made by Ann
Richardson, a notorious woman, I'm
plicating the men in an attempt to
wreck the Santa Cruz flyer last Sum
day night at the Pajaro river bridge.
The Richardson woman was ARE L
ed on suspicion OF having knowledge
OF the plot. Subjected to a sweat
ing by the detectives, she finally
made partial confession TO the eff
feet that the plot to wreck the train
was concocted in her house during
drunken orgy, I'm which a number OF
men participated. Suspicion OF the
detectives was aroused by the sud-
den and mysterious disappearance OF
the woman immed 'ately after the at
tempted wreck. II was learned that
she went to San Francisco, and had
later started back to Watsonvllle.
She was taken into custody on her
return. When confronted with the
evidence in the possession
