A FAIR OFFER.

Republican speakers in the present campaign have submitted a proposi- tion to their democratic friends which seems fair to both parties and on the claims of the democratic poli- ticians, extremely advantageous to them.
 Their claim is that the territory is certainly and overwhelmingly dem ocratic It is conceded for the sake of argument that this is true. They in turn are asked to concede what every reasonable man must believe, and that is that if a republican dele gate were elected next November, our prospects of statehood would immensely brighten; that in fact we would certainly get statehood.
 Then why do not the democrats come in and apply the clincher to the statehood business? If after ad- mission, Arizona is really democratic, what a gain will be that of demOc- racy? democratic governor with the long train of state officials and members of appointive boards and commission; two democratic United States senators, and a representative and a democratic judiciary.
 Is not all this worth the sacrifice of a solitary democratic candidate for delegate to congress? And it would be less of a sacrifice than it might seem even to the politicians and the more intimate friends of MT. Smith, for he will be lost any way.
 The rank and file of the demo- crats, whatever they may think of Mir. Smith or the future of the party seem less disposed day by day to obstruct the progress of the territory toward admission. The ambitions of Mir. Smith and the wishes of his friends are as nothing compared with statehood.

YOU CAN'T CURE CONSTIPATION

by taking purgatives, salts, or other drugs that act harshly or violently upon the stomach or bowels.
 Ask any doctor, and he will tell you that purgatives of any character distend the bowels and weaken the elastic tissue.
 To cure constipation, remove the cause. The cause of constipation is indigestion. If your food digested properly it would continue on from the stomach through the bowels, and would be eliminated without effort and with regularity.
 Mi-o-na tablets cure constipation by curing your indigestion. It is not purgative. It is a stomach tonic and more-it tones up. strengthens, linvigorates, ] refreshes and injects new life into the worn out muscles of the stomach, and in a short time makes the stomach hardy enough to digest i anything you eat. It is a powerful yet harmless stomach tonic, and it's lresistless influence on the stomach is astonishing.
 Try Mi-o-na for constipation. One box will cure you of indigestion; two boxes will relieve you of constipation; | and best of all, Mi-ona is such an
 economical remedy. A large box
 only costs 50 cents, and then. if you are not satisfied with results the Larson Drug Co.,, druggists, will give you your money back. ..-- Mi-o-na cures all stomach disor- ! ders whether acute or chronic, such
 as dyspepsia, vomiting, over-indulg- ence of the night before, sea or car sickness, stomach sickness of pros
 pective mother, etc.
 Read this from the president of a
 New York corporation:
 T have been a terrible sufferer from dyspepsia and gastritis for two years The most eminent physicians prescribed for me with no effect. lhave been absolutely cured by your IMi-o-na tablets. The first one gave me a relief almsot incredible. Very gratefully yours, Herbert H. Taylor 5O1 West 143rd street, New York City"

THE PURCHASE OF THE
CONSOLIDATED.

AO4N 4NkoNl@AD- q -@A~s
 Once more the people of the val lev may be excused if they pause in the march of progress long enough to congratulate themselves and again shake hands with the reclamation service in appreciation of a notable step toward the completion of the Salt River project, the purchase or the Consolidated canal system on the south side. There was nothing un- expected or sensational in this transaction, but it makes people feel better just to the extent of that diff ference between promise and fulfill ment.
 When the purchase of the north side canals was made a couple of years ago it was pointed out that the southsiders should rejoice equally with the northsiders, for it was in pursuance of a policy of cooperation that will ultimately achieve for the entire valley the greatest agricul- tural and business success yet con- ceived by man in the subjugation of the soil. Now that a similar coup has been accomplished on the south side of the river. the north side is called upon to join in the universal paean. Neither side is directly con- cerned in the affairs of the other side. but the organization of the Sat River Valley Water Users associa- ton is so perfectly balanced that in direct influences are almost as potent for good or bad as those of the first order.
 The most engaging feature of the situation is the perfect harmony that has prevailed in this latest negotia- ton. the ease with which formidable obstacles have been removed. The reclamation work in this valley has been that of pioneering in a new field of enterprise. In the beginning there were endorsements on every hand. so numerous that men of ac- credited wisdom shook their heads in doubt and dismay. Even many who were confident that the early ob- stacIes could be overcome, felt in their hearts that the effort to untangle the north side canal conditions would prove a rock of disaster. It was a most formidable undertaking but al most infinite patience, fidelity, faith and persistent work, swept away ev- cry obstruction and brought success

We hope that Chairman Smith Of the territorial central committee will succeed in securing the presence Of MT. Foraker in Arizona in the course of the campaign. The senator would receive such a reception here as would be accorded to no other man. He has always been an advocate for single statehood. He nearly succeed ed in obtaining it for us once. He could perform another great service in that direction by a few well placed speeches urging the election of Ralph Cameron.

ORIGIN OF MOVING PICTURES.

The beginning of moving pictures was in this
wise: Sir John HersChel after dinner 1926 asked
his friend Charles Babbage how he would show both
sides of shilling at once. Ba5base replied by TAX
ing a shilling from his pocket and holding it to d
mirror.
This did satisfy Sir John. VINO set the shiII-
ing spinning upon the dinner table. the same
ti.le pointing out that ii the is placed level
with the rotating coin both sides can be seen at

the power OF money, which has broken through
even their blood caste. Thus gypsy girls now
occasionally marry outside their tribe though

while sternly refuses his sanction. But the
old caste feeling is longer impermeable to
golden suasion, and of the most beautiful
