IRRIGATION CONGRESS.

The irrigation congress will meet in Albuquerque tomorrow This con gross during the last decade has grown into a powerful influence in aid Of the reclamation of the arid west. It is composed of men of national reputa- tion who have made a study of every phase of the irrigation question and who have been prominent in the work of promoting national aid for it. The present congress is expected to be the most important ever held. In connec- ton with it has been promoted an exhi- bition at which is to be shown and made known the resources of the southwest, including mining, agricul- ture and the stock industry.
 A large mineral exhibit has been forwarded from Sochise county and Sonora and it is expected that this ex- hibit will easily take the prize offered which amounts to $500.
 It is expected that many of the dis tinguished visitors to the irrigation congress will make a trip through Arizona after the session for the pur- pose of seeing for themselves the country and becoming acquainted with its opportunities and possibilities. Douglas and Bisbee will no doubt be included in the itinerary of those who will come to Arizona firm the irriga- tion congress and the people of these cities should b. ready to take proper care of any visitors coming this way to learn more of our resources.

plainly the desperate straits into which the republican campaign has fallen than the appearance of the strenuous one in the midst of the fight. For a president of the United States to take an active part in the reelection of his successor is unpre- cedented and cannot be accounted for on any other theory than that of panic in the ranks of the party.
 The vote of organized labor in all the larger cities is today supporting Bryan with much enthusiasm and without the labor vote Taft cannot hope to carry the states of Illinois, Indiana and New York and others rated in the doubtful column.
 It is always safe to judge the coun- try by our own locality. politically, and here in Arizona We have an exemplifi- cation of the lack of harmony in the

in morals or brains. It wants clean, square, able cntest, between clean and able men. It does not want any dou- ble dealing, evasion. or covering up of the truth. It will not tolerate any thing that looks like an attempt to protect weddings or shield crooks.
 The people are wide awake now. watching the national campaign with an eye that cannot be deceived. They are demanding more than they ever demanded before They want public ;iy of campaign receipts and expendi- publicity before the election so that there will be no mortgage on the next administration in the shape oI promises to campaign contributors. They want open speech on the issues, frank, flat-footed expressions that cannot be misunderstood They want all rotten, weak, and dead timber elim- mated from the campaign. They want yigor and courage, and progress.
 Ihe fight for the presidency is a mans fight Let it be conducted by real men, in behalf of real meni Let the cripples and lame ducks go to the rear and get out of sight, The can didate or the party that hesitates or equiyocates in the sight of the people this year is lost.-Washington Post.
 The Post is right, clean, eonscien- tious, clear-cut men are now wanted for representatives of the people in politics and government. Any man who has stain on his official record should be hauled from the political and official arena without ceremony. What the Post has said should be the rule from the campaign which involves the election of president to the cam paign which involves the state officials and the members of congress in every state and territory in the union. It should be the rule down to the lowest official to be chosen in every county and precinct of every state.
 The people, if they would have good government must see to it that no one gets their votes who cannot show a clean bill of health, so far as off cial record is concerned.

HAskELL,s REsIeNATloN.

Haskell Is eliminated from the Dem ccratic campaign In this many Dem ocrsts who have become attached to the Oklahoma governor and believeG him to be a man of high principle and convictions will find cause for regret. But the Democracy as whole must feel that it was a step absoluteiy necessary to the protection of the party in its war on privilege.
 Is Haskell guilty2 On that alone should the Oklahoma man he judged. It matters not what charges were brought against him. It matters not whether he has resigned from the cam paign committee. His fate rests on the truth or falsity of the charges made. And these charges Have no, beer proved.
 Haskelrs resignation was a neces- .sity. It could not be avoided The matters at stake were too great aD permit of tampering The party of Jeffersonian ideals that is waging the war on the greatest oligarchy of wealth and privilege in the world s history could rot afford to i-- rself open to suspicion. Had Hasken re rnained on the campaign committee the enemy would have used hin as the issne and the people would have been persuaded to distrust the sincerity or the party. Haskell had to go.

MAKING IF HOT FOR UNCLE.

"pNFNbiNS VI FTO1 FOH
 The current rumor that Uncle Joe Cannon" is going to have the fight of his life in this campaign, is not with out substantial foundation. It is not so much the Democratic opposluon that troubles him. as the life in the rear" from Republican journals. Take as a sample the following from the Chicago Record-Herald, one of the staunchest Republican papers in Hi nois:
 The letter of exCongressman Lit tlefield to Mir. Cannon, called forth bS the revolt of the temperance elements and western. progressives against the policy of smothering and holding up" legislation in committee at the dicta- ton of the speaker and the interests he may choose to represent, is un- questiOnably truthful as far as IL eO7s. It is also quite sound and intelligent. But-it leaves the grievance of the friends of the Littlefeld lliquor ship ments bill which it's author admits he was not able to 'get reported" on any terms, entirely on one side t is wholly beside the point.
 No one may have any authority from Mir. Littlefield to hold the speak CT responsible for the action of the committe on his bill, and yet the ac- tual responsibility of the speaker, if not in this particular instance, then for the whole suppression and strang- ling policy, may be an undeniable fact.
 We know how absolute lnd irDs' illegitimate the power exercised 5y the speakr and his creatures on rhy rules committee has been in re.rn. years. We know how bills have been juggled with, how legislation has been dictated and controlled by tyrannical clique, and how rules for the efficient transaction of business have been per verted to obstruct and defeat meritort ous and popular measures.
 "We know that the Littlefield bfn vas not reported even adversely. Talk of personal opinions, constitutional doubts, sincere objections is utterly irreveient. The speaker and the mem bers of the committees are entitled to their opinions and to their vote They are entitled to free express-7n of their doubts and fears. They are not crit icised for the mere fact of opposition, for the submission of adverse reports, for vigorous opposition on the floor. They are arraigned for arrogating to themselves the final authority, for pre- suming to veto legislation and relieve the executive and the JudlcIaIy U. their proper function.
 When was 1t made the duty oi T:ght of the speaker and the rules commit tee to save us from what they think unconstitutional legislation Who gave them the authority to pass finally on questions of constitutional con struction2
 'To ask such questions is to answer them. It is to answer them in way which spells condemnation of the hold-up methods. and the indefensible tactics of Mir Cannon and his allies in usurpation.-Albuque Journal.

THE PRIMARIES.

At the primary election held on Saturday last delegates were chosen who will compose the various party conventions to be held on Saturday next. Most interest is if course cen tered in the democratic convention and the county and precinct officers to be nominated by it Besides the contest for precinct officers the only contest left after the primaries seems 10 he those involving the office of treas drer and supervisor. According to reports from the several precincts there is hardly room to doubt the non ination of Charles Lockling for sheriff.
 It is important now as always that competent and popular men be placed on the democratic ticket this fall and to this end every delegate chosen for the convention should be willing to sacrifice every personal desire and ambition to the best interests of the county and party. If there has been disappointment in any quarter that should be forgotten for the present that the party may have it's full strength in the political battle to be fought with the republicans
 The delegates chosen. if they have not been positively instructed by their selection should make it their business to find opt who is desired on the county and precinct tickets by their constituents. If we are to have the strongest ticket 1t must be com posed of those who will be upheld and supported by strong sentiment with in the party.
 | is now the aaty of all to forget the strife aad friction incident to the choosing Of convention GeIegates and all should devote their energies to al fay any reeling or dissatisfaction which may have been engeudered. Cochise county should this year become inc banner county in percentage of demo cratic votes cast
 With only two or three contests to he settled in the convention to be held in Bishee next Saturday il should be an easy matter to accomplish the work of naming the various county and precinct officers which will easily win success this fall. With harmon ious convention and ucket composed Of worthy and competent men. which now seems to be assured the last hope Of the republican party in cochise county will have vanished. Let every democrat be as good democrat after inc convention as he was before the primaries snd there VIII be no doubt of grand victory for the party this fall.

oEMoRALizEp REPUBLICANS

All the jaunty confidence with which the republicans began the cam paign has disappeared. Mir. Roosevelt and Mir. Taft are greatly worried. Chairman Hitchcock has prepared an admirable card index and broken all records for travel on the Twentieth Century limited. but there has been no republican campaign visible to the naked eye and Mir. Roosevelt is fran tically writing letters in an attempt to arouse the voters. says the New York World
 There are factional fights in nearly every debatable state-New York, Ohio. Indiana, Illinois, Wisconsin and Iowa. Even in such rock-ribbed re- publican state as Michigan the rival candidates for governor are contestinn the count of the vote in the recent primaries, and there is a possibility that the state ticket on election day will be without head. The sniy fac tional contest which have yielded to the ministrations of the national com mittee are those in West Virginia and Tennessee. The Foraker revelations have stunned the leaders. With tho election only six weeks of the repub- lican party is more demoralized than it was the day after the nominations were made. and it is doubtful if even old Dr. Crane can better the patients condition --

republican party. In this territory nearly every republican entitled to be rated as prominent is talking harmony and carrying a political dirk up his sleeve. The present campaign in Ari- zona is one of the most hopeless ever undertaken by the republican party be- cause of the dissensions in it's ranks. With a bolt in the territorial conyen- tion this spring there has been ever since widening of the breach rather than healing of the political wounds.
 Bryan is making a manly campaign, he isf standing squarely on the plat form of his party. adding nothing and taking nothing therefrom while Judge Taft has seen fit to amend the repub- lican platform by adding those promi- nent features of reform which were emphatieally denied by the convention which made the platform.

REAL MEN TO THE FRONT!

This is no time for sympathy and no time for exultation on the part of the management in the nafionai cam paign. The derelicts must lock out for themselves. whether they fall through incompetence or corruption. Neither the republican nor the edemocratic party can afford to carry any corpses on it's back. or to finger over the mori- bund.
 Mir. Taft and Mir Bryan must shake on every incompetent and corrupt man connected with their campaign, as soon as the fierce test reveals tho weak would be for smith yet

COL. w. c. GREENE.

According to lengthy article taken from the Fl Paso Herald and repub- lished today Col. W. c. Greene has been ordered by his physicians to con tinue total abstinance from business for six months yet. According to the statements of Judge A. B. Fall Col. Greene has sacrificed more than s,500,00O of his private fortune in an endeavor to keep going his large en CT prises in the state of Chihuahua, Mex ico. which finally had to come to a stand still because of unpaid obliga- tions.
 There will, perhaps, be no one to rejoice at the misfortunes which have undertaken Bill in his Mexico enter prise; on the other hand there will be universal regret among all who have watched his wonderful career in the financial and commercial world during the last ten years. since he first undertook the development of tn wonderful copper properties now own ed by the Greene-Cananea company.
 Col Greene has always been regard ed as a man of wonderful nerve and one who never deserted a friend in many times while he remained at the head of the great copper industry at Cananea re ports came that the Arizona Copper magnate was to be unhorsed, but al ways he was able to thwart the de signs of those who coveted the Can anea properties and each time the word came of victory of Greene there was applause and glad feeling among his friends ir Arizona and in Mexi- co.
 The history of Col Greene during the last ten years has been the history of the marvellous development of one of the greatest mining enterprises and one of the greatest mineral districts in the republic of Mexico. During all this career of success Col. Greene never forgot or deserted his friends gained during his early days with the pioneers who reclaimed Arizona from the Savage Indians and caused it's development and consequent prosper 'ty. The work done by Col. Greene at Cananea has added greatly to the wealth of both Arizona and Sonora and it will continue. to add to the worlds commerce during future gen
 raiIons and the name of this pioneer be linked closely with their future of Arizona and pioneer of Sonora will history and whether all his ambitions in the accumulation of wealth be real ized or not his memory will be en- titled 10 place among those who will be reversed in the future among
 lose who were builders of the great 
 1nre states of Arizona and Sonora. It will be tae hope Of the many old time friends Of Col W. c. Greene that he will soon regain his health and yigor and that all hrs enterprises in which his unbounded confidence led him to risk so much may yet prove that he has not under estimated their value.
