TAFr's APOLOGY

Commenting oE the recent speech of Secretary Taft. in reply to the formal notification of his nomination by the republican convention for presi- dent the St Louis Republic says;
 "The steam roller that did such wonderful work at Chicago is still in commission. Every observant reader of the speech delivered at Cincinnati yesterday by Mir, Taft will discern it's tracks. They symbolize surrender to the machine.
 It is not to be forgotten that the republican machine is Theodore Roosevelt His masterful domination put Taft in the place he would have taken himself if he had dared risk defeat at the polls, so the Taft ac- acknowledgements yesterday were ad dressed more to the master in the White House than to the republican party as an organization superior to any single individual As panegyric of Roosevelt it differed from the familiar style of recent presidential messages only in the necessary elimination Of the personal pronoun
 An exeusable warmth of personal adminiration, a commendable en thusiasm of political loyalty. win re lieve Mir. Taft fom apology for his exaggerated laudations of Roosevelt In this spirit of charitable allowance for the obligations enforced by his en, vironment we can concede that it is natural Mir. Taft should have found it inappropriate to condemn by spe. cific declaration. or even by any form the federal judiciary involved in the offensive criticism of the Standard Oil reversal to which President Roosevelt gave expression last week. And yet it remains a stubborn fact that Mir Taft will be regarded as ac-

oepiing the Roosevelt view, however much he disapproves. unless he finds some way to put himself right before the public.s
 His entire speech of acknowledg- ment is couched in the same spirit. Paragraph after paragraph unfolds the story of acceptance as matter of political expendiency of policies his individual judgment condemns So Mir Taft expands with refined distinc- tions in his endeayor to explain his party's rebuff of the reasonable appeal of the working classes for legislation to prevent misuse of the power of injunction and it's flat refusal to pledge the enactment of a compulsory publicity law.
 Facing the tariff issue Mir Taft bows to the edlct of "standpatism" which even Roosevelt himself must obey. Taft the tariff reformer dis appears in Taft the candidate. obedient to the party mandate and willing to defend eEen the prohihitory duty that protects trust. The mea- sure of tariff reform to be expected under his administration would obviously be that meted out by the tariff barons. themselves.
 Read discriminatingly for the les son it carries between the lines the Taft speech is a democratic document In very large part 1t is an ingenious effort to prove that the republican platform means what the democratic platform says. The American people must decide whether they want that party to rule which says what it means or win trust the welfare of the country to 8 party which dared not say what it pretends to mean"

WHO WILL IT BE?

The Arizona Star in a recent issue says
 With fear of contradiction, and eer- tain that our kindly motives will be impunged. We rise to remark that there is a growing sentiment among Republicans in both Cochise and Pima county for the nomination of Governor Joseph H. Kibbey as the candidate of the Republican party for Congress in the year 1908.
 Information from Graham and GiIa county Republicans conveys the same intelligence and all that will prevent the nomination of Governor Kibbey for congress this year will be his positive declination of the honor.
 "Win the governor decline?
 Tn the opinion of the Star there are two substantial reasons which Governor Kibbey will place on the side of his desire to decline The first is that he can not be elected. and none know this better than the gov ernor himself. Second, the governor is under no obligations to the Re publican party just at present. They cast him ruthlessIy aside in Tucson in April and when he was down, kicked him in his political stomach at Chicago in the following June. Why should the governor meekly ac- tquiesce in the desire of the corpora ton Republicans of Pima and Coehise counties to become their sacrifice when these same high and mighty have told him, in so many words, that they have no confidence in his political leadership?
 ] con the other hand. the governor must believe that Arizona is not far distant from the boon of statehood. The Republican who fights the good fight this year, and lives to fight another day. would be entitled to be considered the logical candidate for United States senator or congressman from the new state in, lsiO--proyided always. that the Democrats go down to defeat Either alternative presents a gloomy aspect to Republican with political ambitions. but we can not forego the opportunity at this time to advise our Republican friends that the strongest man in their party for

ARIZONA IS
 ALL RIGHT.


 Arizona will today compare with al. most any state in the union in the matter of prosperity The cry of hard times in this territory is based on very little reason that is substantial. Aside from the railroad shop forces there are practically as many men em. ployed as there ever was before and at as good wages. The'b producing mining camps are continuing almost to the maximum of their capacity, The farmers in the agricultural val, leys have been blessed with good crops and the 'cattlemen have assur. anees in the bounuful rains that the range will be good and that the beef crop will be equal this year to any former year.
 The cry of hard times is catching and we believe this territory has been influenced to raise this cry withou; taking account of the conditions at home Arizona depends upon the three great industries of mining, agriculture and the cattle industry. The two lat. ter could not possibly be better and the mining industry. as stated above, is almost normal if not quite so, as compared with former years
 Trade has been lost in some of the border towns and cities because of the disocntlnuance of development in sev- eral districts below the line in Sonora, but so far as the industries in Arizona are concerned they would only have ts improve slightly to again be at the heyday of their prosperity.
 There is always a business lull in Arizona during the vacation season July and August Thousands of peo- pie go away to the coast and other places for rest and recreation. Many are in California now, but within thir- ty days all will be back home to re sume their various business pursuits. The financial panic last fall was in  furious to Arizona; a great many of our people, in nearly every city, had been trying their fortune on the stock board; they were caught in the slump and lost heavily. This taken in con nection with the usual dullness dur ing the summer has caused a more acute depression than we have been accustomed to.
 But the industrial sky Is clearing rapidly fn the east; money seems to be plentiful; factories are starting up and railroad cars which have been idle on the sidetracks for months are finding employment. The crops throughout the country are excellent; copper, especially of interest to Ari- zona, is advancing in price and all conditions point to the fact that with in six months Arizona win have for. gotten all about the panic of 19O7-S-

Floods In HaFRcit.

The editor of The COMMONWEALTH
spefl: part Of last week in Harnett
county, and made some observations
there Of the disasters from the re-
.ent floods. The Cape Fear river
vas higher than it has ever been
Known by any person i'll that county
and the destruction was the greatest
.ver known there.
All the crops along the river were
completely destroyed and there was
also considerable destruction along
the creeks. The two steel bridges
across the Cape Fear at Ellington
and Duke were broken by the fresh
It and the people now have to cross
the river at those points in the old
time ferry fat. The expense to the
county in the loss of these bridges is
very great, and bridges over creeks
at various other points will be re-
| built at much cost.
The damage done to the Raleigh
and Southport railroad through the
county was very heavy. All SEIZED
ules on the road were suspended
for many days and there was anoth
er great flood south of Raleigh Sat
ur,.ay which caused high water II
all the creeks, covering the railroad
! t. ack in several places. The worE
train coming into Raleigh Saturda,
night at 10 o'clock plowed through
the flooded streams in many place
where the water was running owe
the track, and at one point Presiden
Mills said the water was up to tn
train steps.
The farm lands in all that region
/ of the State have been badly wash
ed and the damage has been SO grea
and varied that there is no way c
oronarIv mating it.

The county commissioners Monday
appropriated $3.50 for the Halifax

ed in Weldon September l7ih.
Colonel ". H. S. Burgwyn, Of
Weldon, presented to the board OF
commissioners q petition from the
United Daughters of the Confedera-
cy at Weldon, asking for small ap
preparation. Colonel Burgwyn made
a strong plea for the appropriation
stating that Northampton county
has given $3.50 to the monument.
The commissioners were asked for
an appropriation some three years
ago, but owing to the financial con
dition Of the county then they die
not make the appropriation; but the
county being now about out Of deb'
they did not hesitate to make the
appropriation Monday.
