CAMPAIGNS UNIQUE
FEATURE.

Unless contingencies or conditions
arise which no experienced observer
here now foresees, the presidential
campaign this year is to be in one re-
spect without precedent. The business
community in other presidential, can
vases has counted upon a season OF
dullness awaiting the result of the
election. And that is especially true
when contemplated revision OF the
tariff is the principal issue of the cam
paign.
1t has been the custom in every
presidential season since the civil war
for the merchants and manufacturers
TO curtail somewhat, to take in sail,
and banks have every four years of
the presidential term expected a re
duced demand for accommodations
during the presidential canvass.
Occasionally, business has been CON
fronted with sudden panicky condi-
tons. That occurred in the August
of 1896 and again in late August of
1900. In the second campaign Bryan
made for the presidency there came
day late in August when the bankers
were seriously alarmed.
When Mr.. Morgan sailed for Europe
the day after Yale University had hon
ored him and commemOrated his good
service in the panic Of Jast fall, he eX-
pressed his views with his customary
brevity, and yet emphasis, saying that
he was optimistic, that the bottom had
not fallen out Of American industry
and that he considered all the signs
of the times most favorable.
In these few words Mr.. Morgan ex-
pressed what is undoubtedly the
unanimous sentiment of the leading
bankers of New York. And'it is this
view which jugtifes the prediction
that unless unforeseen contingencies
come we are to have this year presi-
Dental campaign coincident in time
with a revival of business prosperity
The managers of some of the great
est of the American corporations.
whose Offices are in New York, say
that the feeling of confidence that
there will be no currency difficulties
next faI prevails over the whole coun-
try. For that reason, business men
are not afraid TO make commitments
or to undertake new activities.

not be lightly set aside. Nearly a
thousand million dollars of American
capital is invested in the republic and
this money can neither be coniscated
nor its values deprecated by force. 1t
has been invested under the laws and
by the sanction of the authorities and
can neither be taken away nor plum
dered at the viii of the mob. The gov
eminent is responsible under penalty.
Without American money and Ameri-
can enterprise Mexico would have no
developed mineral wealth today. Plain
iy speaking, behind this invested
wealth stands not only the govern
ment of Mexico but also The govern
ment of the United States. MORE than
this at this time need not be said

The territorial, democratic conven-
ton will meet a month from yesterday
in the city of Prescott. There is but
one result expected at that conven-
ton, and that is the nomination of
Mark Smith as the candidate for dele
gate to congress. The candidacy of
Eugene Brady ONef of Phoenix has
not been actively pushed by that gen.
tleman since the meeting of ne terri
torial convention in the month of May,
though prior to that time it had been
announced by his friends that he
would tour the territory in the inter
est of his candidacy. 1t is conceded
that Mr.. O'Neil will have the delega,
ton from Maricopa county, provided
he remains in the race until the con,
vention meets in Prescott; Yuma
county democrats have also showed
a friendIiness for the candidacy OF
Mr.. O'Neil and his friends claim that
he will receive the support Of Apache
county Every other county in the
territory is confidently expected to
send delegations favorable to the re,
nomination of Mark Smith. It is ex.
pected that the convention to be held
in Prescott viii be the last territorial
convention to be held in the territory.
Before 1910 Arizona will almost Ger
tain'y be clothed with the right OF
self-government, as the result of the
passage of the statehood bill. In the
first state election it is expected that
there will be many favorite sons put
forward as candidates for congress.
Among these may now be named the
following: Hon. George w. P. Hunt
Of ella county; Hon. James Hampton
Of Graham county; Hon. Eugene Bra
dy oNeil Of Maricopa county; Hon.
Henry Ashurst Of Coconino county.

Visitors to Convention Angered by the
Loss of Valuables.

DENVER, July 9.-According to
some angry visitors there are as many
pickpoekets in Denver as there are
delegates. Losses Of pocketbooks
have been numerous in the last three
days.
In several instances considerable
sums of money have been lifted" by
the gentry with light fingers, while the
loss OF pocketbooks also has resulted
in the loss of valuable papers. which
cannot be replaced. The authorities
are awaking to the situation and spec
ial detectives are being assigned to
watch the convention crowds. Detec-
tives from outside places are also
coming in.
Detective Rim of San Francisco,
Detective LOTUS of Chicago and De
tective Lally of Detroit are among
those now, here.

CONSERVATION OF
OUR FUEL RESOURCES.

1t would be a mistake to suppose
that the recent gathering at the white
house to promote the conservation OF
the natural resources of the country
was the first official step taken by the
government for that purpose. Every
body is aware, or should be, of the
good work that is being done by the
government in the department of for
estry in the preservation of our tim
Der supply; and equally, if not more
important have been the labors Of the
United States geological survey in
the effort to conserve our natural sup,
plies of fuel by the very simple ex-
pedient of teaching us how to use
what we do consume, to better eco
nomical advantage. In carrying on
its work of testing the fuels used by
the government, the go ogical survey
has gathered data of wide variety,
which have proved to be of great eco
nomical value in the industrial world.
The. work Of the department in the in
vestigation of the gas engine alone,
has been very valuable in showing
its high economy as compared with
the average steam engine. 1t has
proved, for instance, in it's testing
plant, that the gas engine will deye'-
op from two to three times as much
power from a given amount OF coal
as is being developed today from
steam engines of the same capacity
the degree of comparative economy
of course. upon the condi-
lions under which the steam engine is
being operated. In this connection,
the tests which have been made of
the fuel value of various Goals, which
are practically worth ess for steam
raising, are entirely serviceable for
use in gas producers. The Importance
of this investigation in it's bearing up
on the fuel supply of the west can
scarcely be overestimated; for the
of high grade coal in the west
are very limited, While there are mil
lions of acres of the poorest forms of
coal known as lignites. 1t is largely
due. furthermore, to the labors of the
in making a general analysis
of the Goals of the country, that Goa,
is now being purchased on the basis
IF its heating value, definite speclfice-
ions being drawn up, covering this
and kindred features. The beneficial
effects of this system have been shown
in the case OF the state, war and navy
building in Washington, IN which, IN
der the new system, the government
is said TO he saving fifteen thousand
a year in the coal bill alone.

THE SPIRIT OF
UNREST IN MEXICO.

a spirit of unrest pervades all Mex
leo and the slumbering fires Of revo-
luton wait but the coming death of
the great dictator, Porfrio Diaz, to be
famed into a flame of wide spread
and destructive proportions. Incipient
fires of revolution continue to break
out here and there, only to die of
themselves or to be ruthlessly crushed
out by the iron heel of the govern
ment- No weakling can still the COM
ing storm now threatening the repub~
lie, and rarely, indeed, does one strong
man succeed another.
There are said to be two causes IN
DERIVING this seething mass of discon-
tent-opposition to the Diaz govern
ment and jealousy of the growing in
terests of Americans.
At the time Diaz became president
the republic of Mexico was nothing
more than a disiointed mass Of states,
governed almost by as many forms Of
government as there were states and
Influenced by opposing interests. Life,
liberty and the pursuit of happiness
as we know such things in the United
States, were unknown in Mexico. As
union of states the republic of Next
co had neither credit, reputation nor
cohesion. Revolution was rampant as
robbery. Every little general, and
there were more generals than corpo-
rails in the federal army, with a poIiti-
cal grievance or a thirst for Hight
mate gain, issued his 'pronunciamien-
to-" raised a rabbie of the discomfort
ed and laid tribute on every hamlet
town or city he could force into sub
lection, and like the canailIe of
France they robbed and murdered in
the name of liberty.
With the accession of Diaz to the
presidency the murderer stayed his
bloody hand and the pronunciamento
robber passed out of existence for the
time being. The little fellows who
later sought to again assume the die
tatoriaI role were stood up and shot
and the big ones shared or were
scared from a like fate by submitting
to the central government. Chatting
under his enforced restraint the
death only of Diaz is waited till the
/ fires Of revolution again blaze. Of
course much of this will depend upon
his successor, but be he who he may
ne will have to establish himself with
fire and sword as did his predecessor.
The good will of the civilized world
is with Diaz today. He is looked upon
as one Of the few great men in the
world. What Mexico is he made it.
Perhaps it was arbitrarily done per
haps the constitution Of the country
was made to fit his despotism, but
the country throve in peace, grew in
population and multiplied in wealth.
Every law abiding citizen was safe in
his own, a blessing not hitherto en-
joyed in the republic Of Mexico. Plain
ly then the discomfort with his gov
eminent is based on sinister motives.
The American Issue is one that can
