Conditions in this county are
simply intolerable and unbear-
able to liberty loving, self re-
liant and self respecting people.
But the half, nay the tenth, has
not heen told. We are a WHITE
people up here in Henderson
nty-Anglo- Saxon to the core
descended from the mountain
boys who went down to Kings
Mountain and to Guilford Court
House and met CORVALLIS and
his men and sent them on to
Yorktown to surrender descend
ed from brave Confederate and
Federal soldiers, who were not
afraid to meet death on the bat
tlefield in defense of principles
each thought to be right. We
justly and naturally feel that we
are entitled to the largest and
fullest measure of local self
government compatible with the
institutions of a free people if we
are to have it at all. At present
only about one officer out of every
twenty-five in the county is elect
ed by popular vote. to say moth
ing of the tax collector and
school superintendent the ring
sters are bowling about.
Our present Sheriff, r. P.
Freeman, who. by the way is a
Republican and a splendid young
man, was appointed to his office
by the County Commissioners.
He is also the County Treasurer
by virtue of his office as Sheriff,
and handles and pays out all tax
money in the county, and yet the
voters of the county had no say
in his election, nor did they have
any voice in selection of his pre-
decessor, Jesses.S. Rhodes, who
was appointed to the office by
the Legislature of 1905 upon the
recommendation of the present
Republican candidate for Lieu
tenant Governor, and at the re-
quest of no other citizen of the
county. Then there are the as
sistant registrars of deeds, ]. D.
Davis and Miss Juno Morris, ex-
cellent people and good officers,
but neither of them were elected
to office by the voters of the
county On the contrary they
were appointed to Office by one
man. This is the best paying
oficein the county-the emolu-
ments amounting annually to
about three thousand dollars.
The man who was elected to fill
this office ''farmed it out, pay
ing about nine hundred dollars to
get the work of the Office done
and putting into his own pockets
the balance. And complaint is
made that he has not even visit
ed the office on an average of
once a month since his election
two years ago. Such a condi-
ton of affairs the people ought
not to be forced to tolerate.
Then too, we have eight tax
listers each year to fill important
places and twenty-four tax as
SCISSORS each four years. These
officers get good salaries, paid
out of taxes contributed by all
the people Of the county and yet
the people have no voice in the
selection of these officers. In
TACT, these important officers are
usually selected from the peanut
crossroads politicians whose
only qualification is the ability

70 use successfully a part of the

Often d OCT son carelessly picks up wheel that does not belong to him and rides it to some other business place when he dis covers the mistake. Not wishing to be caught with another mans wheel he leaves it standing there and goes after his own. all of which is a very wrong way of doing. If such a careless of fender does not want to be caught re- storing the wheel it would be well for him to call up an officer and let him do it. or accompany him back to where he found it.

 who was employed in a Phoenix sa-
 loon can thank his good luck for not
 being in jail now instead of at large free and happy as a bird. for he did what might very easily have been con- strued as the stealing of a wheel if the owner of it had wanted to make
 him trouble The wheel was taken from it's accustomed place by someone, probably through accident, and left at the saloon. The owner at once report cd its loss to the police. After the wheel sat around in the way a few days the porter inquired about it of the barkeeDer, saying he thought he would utilize it on his-errands. That was satisfactory and he did so as mo- body seemed to claim the machine. But finally the porter quit his job and said he was going to leave town so he took the wheel to a local repair shop and wanted to sell it. The bicycle man recognized it at once and accused the man of stealing it. He claimed it had

 It has been reported to the board of trade that 600 acres are signed to the associations. in Tempe and Mesa, 415 acres to the Phoenix association and 260 acres to the Glendale association. making a total of 1275 acres which will be planted for the shipping mar ket It is said that is the largest area devoted to cantaloupe growing in any one county in the United States. Dr. J. w. Foss is convinced that Arizona is the best cantaloupe state in the world and that the Salt River val ley is the best cantalOupe section in Arizona. Moreover he believes the best cantalOupe land in this valley is signed mp to the Glendale association. For that reason he has offered a fine prize to the man in the Glendale as- sociation who beats the rest of the valley in raising cantaloupes. Inci- dentally the winner of this prize. on the above theory, will have the best oantaloupes in the world, and the best is good enough.
