Actors Troubled With
Exaggerated Ego.

Actors are intense. nervous, emo
tional folks" says a manager of LONG
experience, f. ID. Price, OF "The Man
OF the Hour" once prominent in De-
troit newspaper work, and who hes
handled many famous stars and varied
attractions.
They are peculiarly sensitive and
self-centered' and self-conscious," says
Mr.. Price. Their ego is often abnor-
nally developed. not merely the recog-
nized stars, but the rank and file. No
matter how obscure he may be, the
actor seems to think that his name
should be a household word.
las a matter of fact, the identity of
player is not OF vast consequence TO
the average play-goer. IL would prick
many bubble Of self-conceit IL actors
generally realized how little the pub
lie knows or cares about Them as in

LEWIS SPRINGS ON THE MAP.
 The candidacy of Mark Smith has at least served one good purpose, the discovery of Lewis Springs, Cochise county. where a big democratic pie nic is to be held tomorrow, Sunday. Mark Smith is to be there and like wise H. F. Ashurst the eloquent, who seems to have transferred his affec- tions to Mir Smith from William k. Hearst who he declared few years ago was the best man who ever lived with the single exception of the Savior or words to that effect.
 Imitation is the sincerest flattery, hence it is with some pleasure that republicans see the democratic lead CTS in emulation of MT. Taft who opened his campaign from another springs resort on the other side of the continent MT. Taft though, se- lected a place that was already dis covered while the Arizona democratic leaders want to get as far away as possible from the searchlight for fear they may do some of their thinking out loud. They are planning to fire the first gun on Sunday in the hope that the impression will go forth that their cause is a holy one. It will be no use. They have succeeded fin fooling the Arizona people quite frequently, it is admitted, but they cannot fool Providence and it is hardly believed they will be able to give the people a bum steer" this year.

A CHALLENGE.

The Salt river valley is too well bred to point to its own virtues and attractions, in the presence of those who are lacking in either, merely through conceit. It is only that peo- ple may know where they can go to better themselves, that mention is again made of the fact that while Augusta and Columbia and a score of other big cities are suffering of floods this valley is just right. Topograph- ically it is sufficiently sloping for good drainage but too level for tor rential rains to wash anything away, even if they occurred here which they seldom do. And there can be no shortage of water for the govern ment insures an ample supply. Cli- matically it has every other city in America except the resorts beaten to a standstill twelve months in the year and it beats the resorts eight months in the year for comfort and all the time for health. Financially it is one of the very few places i'm mune from panics. Socially and morally there are no degenerate mil lionaires and but a small number of the naturally vicious element. Relig- iously there are all kinds of churches but no one is forced to attend them unless he chooses. Politically the two old parties are both strong enough to put up a rattling good fight every time the ballot box is trotted out and there are enough "ists' and "isms" to keep both parties guessing. These statements having been repeat edly made and being susceptible of proof The Republican challenges ev- cry doubting American citizen to come out here next winter and un- der take to prove a contrary state of affairs. The Republican does not care if 5OOO0 men accept the chal- lenge, it will stand its ground and back every word written. Come on, you long suffering, prosperity seek ing pilgrims! The Republican dares you to come.
