ILLEGAL REGISTRATION AND VOTING.

Attention is called to the opinion
by Attorney General Clark in an
other column, with regard to the
registration and voting at Naco Of
many who are employed at Can
anea. Many of those men pointed
out so plainly, never lived in Ari-
IONA, and their employment and
residence at Cananea gives them
no right to vote in Arizona.
While the opinion cited aims at
illegal voters in Cochise county GO
ing to Naco from Cananea it will
apply to many who are registered
and expect to vote in Santa Cruz
County at Nogales. In some way
or another such votes seem to be
drawn to the democratic ticket as
uneringly as iron filings cluster
about magnet. 1t is manifestlv
unfair that votes for Cameron cast
by men in Nogales and Naco who
have lived in the places named for
years should be nullifed by the
votes of men who never resided tn
Arizona, but have employment
within easy distance of the line
and come here to vote, because of
the complaisance of democratic reg
istration officers. The republican
territorial committee and the re-
publican county committee of Santa
Cruz will exert Tin the interest Of
Mr.. Cameron) every influence in
heading away from the ballot box
all such voters.
The opinion OF Attorney General
Clark is very explicitin the mat
ter quoted above. 1t touches also
upon some other points worthy of
attention: Particular attention is
called to the final paragraph OF
that opinion, with regard to per-
sons who may remove to another
state or territory and acquire re-
sidence there, Under that ruling
one cannot return TO Arizona after
acquiring residence elsewhere and
resume his citizenship here as If he

John Dupuy, who has returned re-
Gently to Nogales after an absence
of several years in California. The
county central committee has a
certificate from the County Clerk
of Ventura county, California,
which shows that he was registered
in that county as late as the
twentieth day of March last. With
out a doubt he was a citizen of
California and entitled to vote
there on the twentieth day of last
March. That being the case he
has no right to register and vote
in Arizona until his recent resid-
ence here has extended the full
period of one year. Yet he is reg
istered in Santa Cruz county, and
his registration number is 243. If
Mr.. Dupuy offers his vote it will be

MANY voters who have no interest

their votes in the line towns OF

been a matter of almost natural

was not much activity in Sonora

employment among the sparsely
scattered mining camps. Between
times they made their homes at
Nogales, or Bisbee or Tombstone.
They never abandoned their homes
in those places, and whenever en-
ployment failed they returned to
the place they claimed until
another job was found. They met

ney general. They were "dom-
iciled" at Nogales, or Bisbee or
Naco, or Douglas, and they went
into Sonora to accept employment
with the intention of returning to
the place Of domicile. But with
the great growth of the Cananea
and other camps in Sonora, and
the extension of railway construc-
ton there have crowded into So
nora hundreds of men who have
never acquired domicile in Arizona,
and while temporarily in Sonora
they have no ties in Arizona that
would call them to return. If
they have a constructive domicili-
airy location, with right to vote,
it is in the state whence they came
to find their present employment.
And they have no right to be regis
tered and vote in Arizona;
their registration has been an
evasion of the law pertaining to
registration, and their votes

COAL AND STEEL TRUST.

A gentleman who is conversant with the trend of affairs as far as they re- late to the development of coal lands in Alaska, is authority for the state- ment that the numerous impediments, which have been placed in the way of opening up coal lands of the territory may be traced to the influence of the Steel Trust. At first glance the state- ment would seem a far cry, but a little anlayzing of the statement will show that there may be in it food for reflection. The Steel Trust virtually controls the iron and steel output of the entire country. It has neither mines nor plants in the west, but it supplies the iron and steel products. It therefore has large, lucrative and constantly widening market, which it dominates. On the Pacific coast there are extensive deposits of iron ore, but the price of coke, due to the scarcity of coking coal. essential in the treat iIouo OI lIoii oICo, iouuCio oilo uosCi- opment at profit impossible.
 The Katalla coal fields contain the finest quality of coking coal to be found in the United States, this state ment being based upon the reports of the United States Geological survey. The coal is easily accessible, and once placed on the market would immed- lately sovle the coke problem and re- suit in the speedy development of the iron mines of the Pacific coast and the loss of an exceedingly profitable maket to the Steel Trust. And according to The Herad's informant, the logic of the situation was not slow in impress sing itself upon the huge monopoly, hence the steel network that entwines the coal men of Alaska when they seek to make progress in perfecting their titles so that they may be in a position to mine and ship coal for all purposes.
 The trusts are powerful in high places, and it well may be said that the head of the steel trust is behind the handicaps that seem to bar the way to Alaska coal development. Katalla Herald.

HEARST RUNNING AMUCK.

The following editorial appeared in the Katalla Herald few days before election. It was fair prediction and a good outline of Hearst's position:
 William R. Hearst as bull in the political china shop seems to be hav- ing few innings in the present polit- ical campaign. He is proving himself veritable stormy petrel, inasmuch as he has been the instrument of dis aster to high personages in the coun- cils of the two great parties. He is impaling trust-tainted politicians upon his spear like modern Don Quixote. With rare impartlality he charges Taft with being backed by the Steel Trust, and Bryan by Standard Oil. His .lenuncations and exposures have placed Foraker on the cold shelf occu- pied by misft politicians, and he has plucked the halo from the democratic brow of Oklahoma's governor, who was forced to resign as treasurer of the democratic national committee, as direct result of the Hearst allega- tions.
 The net results of Hearst's pyrotech- nic averments will not be determined until the votes are counted on Nov. , next. Both Taft and Bryan may lose votes, but one or the other will be elected. The republicans have worried and the democrats are not quite happy President Roosevelt, it is claimed, is now the absolute director, as we'll as the absolute dictator of his party's campaign. And so, many strong men have been wounded. AnC the only man in the fierce limellgh' who seems to be having any real fur out of the situation he has created is Mir. Hearst, himself political phar- lsee, Jack Cade leading tatterde mallion army.-Katalla Herald.

ROOST!

An exchange advises everybody to
 boost, but in connection with the ad- vice offers the information that il
 may be we'll to remember that boost ing consists in something more than mere talk. Talk is cheap, but talk
 with action is what wins results
 Boost individuals as well as general affairs. Whenever you see an honest man struggling to get ahead in his business lend him helping hand. Whatever benefits him benefits the whole community, and as you are one of the whole community, it benefits you. Get out of your crust of selfish. ness. Pat your neighbor on the should CT and say to him: "Take courage, am with you and will help you win out" Open your heart and lend a helping hand. It does not hurt you and does lift up some one else. So shall you become-not "prominent" citizen perhaps-but good citizen, in the broad sense of the word. Sow ing the sunshine is more prof table job than most people realize. There is much more than sentiment in It. There are solid results. The disheart- ened man takes up his burden again and goes to work with renewed de- termination to win. Other men feel the influence of the sunshine and work more heartily, and the whole com munity feels the good effects.

The tall spuce of Alaska

= u0 bdll SpuC0 OI A ldSha Thou art dear to me see thee straining in the gale Like stalwart masts at sea, Or in the tranquil summer time When nature sleeps and all Is quite as thy waving boughs And topmost branches tall. Grand monarchs of the shade art thou And yet so soft and low Thou singest now thy slumburou
 songs, AS in the long ago, When in they glad primeval youth, Thy transient shadows lay, And fragrance of the balsam filled The woods of yesterday. And often in my pensive moods, And far from home and thee, I listen for thy wind-swept voice Thy gentle minstrelsy, There comes to me prefume sweet, I hear the glad refrain And on my mental vision falls, Those spruce trees in the rain.

In an address to the students of the Episcopal high school of Virginia on Saturday, President Roosevelt gave some excellent advice. He told them he believed in sports and urged the boys to play hard when they played, but also to work hard when they worked. ''Scorn to be guilty of any foul practice in your sports," said the president. ''Do your level best to win, but do it in fair way" This advice from the president has the merritt of being timely, and it can be taken to heart with advantage by many prominent in athletics in the United States,

beach, the strike that made the Tana- na famous.
 One of the most interesting stories that Alaskans tell. is that of the poor well-digger who had been hired by the city fathers of Fairbanks, the capital of the Tanana country, to find a supply of fresh water for the young city. There were not many people and the town did not have much money. l. was figured. however, that i. few weeks work and several thous- and dollars would do the work, and a III n vho had just arrived in the camp was hired to do the work. He VAS new and green to the ways of the ortb and he did not appreciate as the
 i'd timers did, that he was undertak- ing practically hopeless task at the price, But he soon discovered it.. Laboi was high, supplies were expen- sive, the ground frozen solid for many feet. His money which had looked like a big pile when he started for Alaska, soon dwindled to few dollars But he struggled on. He was not dis couraged, only disgusted at his lack l of foresight. However there were indications of the water level baing not many feet below and he secured enough credit to continue the work himself For two weeks he kept at it. The water level was reached but there was no water. Thro igh the gravel and down to the hard pan bot tom he worked with pick and shovel, filling each bucket and then climbing to the top and pulling it up. He re- peated this hundreds of times. But when he struck that hard pan ne gave it up. Disgusted at himself. mad al things in general, be angrily hurled the pick into the gravel and started tt climb to the top, determined to go te work for wages. As he happened tt look down after climbing half dozer steps, he was held fast almost petri. fed as he said after ward, by the sigh The steel of the pick had sunk deel right into big pocket of gold. Mug gets as big as acorns and scores o little particles like wheat were i'm bedded in the half frozen earth. H, had struck d real bonanza. It did no take him long to get to the top, te get the claim staked and properly re corded. It was all his and he.'made ; round million out of it. Incidental, he dug a we'll for the town, paying for it himself just to show that h' had no hard feelings.

In Massachusetts they have a rule which as it applies to the stage would if enforced debar many an adult actor and actress. This from the Fall River News, is certainly indication of such condition of affairs in that state.
 Not only was an application to allow little girl to appear in a theatrical performance refused by the mayor, but the mother of the child received substantial lecture from the chief executive for allowing the child to grow up in ignorance of the Lord S Prayer. Incidentally it was brou ght out that there was some cloudiness on the part of the mother as to what con- stitutes the Lords Prayer.
 The mayor was engaged in conver- sation with some friends when the representative of the theater came in- to the executive chamber with the mother and daughter to secure the usual permit for the appearance of a child in a public exhibition.
 Excusng himself to his other call CTS, the mayor asked the mother and child to be seated. Then, in kindly manner, he asked the little one if she could reciJe the Lords Prayer. The child looked as if problem in alge bra had been propounded and shook her head.
 'How old are you?" asked the mayor The mother immediately volunteered the information that her daughter was years old.
 'Do you mean to tell me that you have allowed your daughter to reach the age of 8 years and that you have never taught her the Lords Prayer?" interrogated the mayor.
 (Which one? Dou you mean Now lay me down to sleep?" said the mother.
 "Which one? There is but one," said the mayor. ''I am astonished to hear you ask such question, and l all uOTS tudu dSlOulSuSO CO ucdf tudu your daughter does not know the prayer every child should learn to say with its first lisping words at it's mothers knees. No, madam, the child cannot have permit.'
 "But say the other one to her," the mother.
 "And yet the child does not know it. No, repeat. No, there will be no permit, and you will understand turning to the other callers-''that this child does not go on the stage in this city. If there is any attempt to her there will be immediate 
 Very red in the face, and no doubt much vexed, the mother withdrew, taking the little girl, bright, pretty creature, with her.

Uncle Joe Cannon will in all prob ability be the speaker of the next House. He has the advantage o1 possession and of we'll defined lead
 in the contest. The probabilities fay. oring his reelection, it becomes very easy for him to pick up loose votes. For Uncle Joe as speaker is a veri. table Poo Bah, who can exalt the low1y or humble the mighty by means of his committee appointments. Even congressman who might under other conditions oppose Cannon will fall into line, lest they pay a heavy price for their unfriendliness. The itch for power in the house is the con. trolling motive with with practically all the members. Many representa- tives who are at first drastic critics of the existing system become recon clled 1t it as soon as they become cogs be 1t ever so humble ones-in it's intricate mechanism. It is by playing on the itch that the speaker keeps the house in line. The statement is made that the speaker is but the creature of the majority, and that, therefore
 tho majority rules the house. So he is, but a man so buttressed with power as the speaker has no particu- lar trouble keeping a majority so tame that it will feed out of his hands. The big men in the house are all com fortably placed in the house machinery. They enjoy power and favor, and are we'll content with things as they are. The little fellows see more chance of getting to the top of the ladder by studied subservience than by open rebellion. The recalcit- rant arc so few as to be neglible in tho face of the inertia of the great
 body of members. But it is not alone through fear that Cannon rules. His personal popularity with the majority of representatives is undoubted. They speak of him in terms of cordial friendship and admiration. If they
 had had their way they would have

MUST USE AN AK.

The National Association of Furni- ture Manufacturers has voted unani- mously for resolution calling specifically for reduction of duties thus emphasizing its demand for tariff reform Such resolution by the rep resentatives of 300 firms whose output is valued at forty million per annum ought to receive attention at Wash ington. These men are not theorists, not free taders, not amateurs. They are manufacturers-the very class for whose benefit the protective tariff was devised-and seeking with the wisdom born of experience they ask for a re- duction of duties.
 If these men expect that congress will give heed to their resolution, and that nothing further is required on their part they will find themselves badly mistaken. There are hundreds of thousands and probably millions of people in the country, writes the Washington correspondent of the Chicago Tribune, who expect re- duction in duties as a result of revi- sion, but, he adds, Ut will be neces- sary for some of the people who want lower rates to appear before the con- mittee and show why rates should be reduced.
 Messrs Payne and Dalzell are the ruling spirits in the house committee. Senator Burrows of Michigan is one of the ruling tariff spirits in the senate. They are standpatters. Payne and Dalzell have just been reelected and consider their tariff stand has been "vindicated. The hearings before the house committee are little better than farces. Two or three hours are allotted to the repre- resenta. tives of vast business interests. The benefciaries of the tariff are on hand to urge even higher rates. and they take up most of the time. It is farcical for the committee to claim that the time devoted to hearings is adequate -and it is still more farcicalte claim that such one sided hearing is sufficient to impart full knowledge o the subject.
 The simple truth is that those who want lower duties will be compelled to break into congress with an ax 1T order to obtain even hearing whict will be entitled to the name. The
 adoption of resolutions by such bodies as the furniture manufacturers shows
 the drift of public sentiment, but
 what do Dalzell and Payne care fol sentiment as long as thelr own dis.
 tricts keep them in congress? Organ. ization for work is the prime need o1 the tariff reformers and unless they do organize and work it is not un- likely that they will get next to noth- l ing.

made him president. Thus Cannon is doubly strong in the house, and it may readily be believed he will be speaker until he passes the bar. As it seems to us he has the same kind of grip on the speakers chair that he has on his Danville district.
