BOOMING HIS TOWN.
How a Young Board Of Trade Presiden:
"Mads Good" With the People.

Systematic town boosting is a fca-
ture Of American business activity
which aims at the general good instead
Of personal profit. One western town

to Il yonily man OF TIC type we Ike Sc
encourage" The young man took his
Job seriously and went to work. It
wasn't Ion: before he grew ali Idea OF
his own.
Every family that moved TO town lie
spotted. Employ was provided
for the brcadwinners where neccssal-.
and the new peopD were made TO feel
1t home. When this personal atten
ton had got in its work, representa-
tive OF the board Of trade interviewed
the head OF the new family. This il-
tervieW was incorporated into o letter:
mimeograph copies were made, put into
stamped envelopes and made ready 10
mail. Then the letters were taken 10
the newcomer, and he was asked to
address them to his friends ''back
east" The scheme worked like magic,
and the population doomed. OF that
idea many new ones were born. The
young man has been several times re-
elected president Of the board Of trade.
and he can have anything the people
; Of that town can give him.

New Work. Feb. 25.--With the
gathering OF rne National League
clans in New York today. prelimi-
nary to the annual spring meeting,
the warfare between President Har-
ry e. r'ulliam and Garry Hermann
of Cincinnati over the blacklist ma
ter will be brought to focus. Pull
liam's threatened resignation is not
considered seriously at the presen:
time. although there is an undercur-
rent of feeling that the affairs Of
the league are reaching 4 critical
stage and that 4 change in the pres
tdency will be necessary, sooner Or
later, to restore harmony in the war
ring camps,
While the friends of Pulliam
claim 10 control the situation, Herr
mann will fight just the same, it is
said, because he believes that Pull
liam has attacked him without war
rant. In this contention he may
stand alone, but it will make no
difference to the Cincinnati man.
At the same time Hermann is anx-
ious to have Ban johnson and the
American League men back him up
in his opposition to Pulliam's meth
DDS, and as johnson is inclined TO
lean in Pulliam's direction there
may be some interesting develop
ments.
The blacklist matter, which caus-
ed all the trouble, has been widely
discussed, but the fact has been ap-
parent y lost sight of that in de-
manding the wiping out of the
blacklist, contract jumping would
be encouraged rather than sup
pressed. It is understood that in
Offering the alleged blacklist resolu-
lions }. H. O'Rourke had in mind a
plan to prevent a further violation
OF baseball contracts and that he eX-
pected his lead would be followed
hv al, o, the other baseball organi-
Nations.
Veteran baseball magnates who
remember the blacklisting of sever
al PLAYERS in 1876 for crooked work
will insist that contract jumpers
should be similarly treated.
While Pulliam is probably safe IN
his berth for the present, he IS
sure to have a big fight on his
hands when he tries for reelection
next December Al the annual meet
Ing of the National League last De
cember Pulliam's election was not
unanimous. He was opposed by the
New York club, and the latter also
opposed his election two years ago
and will fight against him next De-
cember.
But the next time the New York
club will not be alone in opposing
Pulliam. Garry Hermann is sure
to work against Pulliam because Of
the latter's personal attack some
time ago. Mr.. Hermann has big
following and is sure to get support
st. Louis will probably stand with
Hermann if he makes the fight,
and Chicago, being James a. Harris

A LEARNED FRENCH TRAMP.

A French tramp of the visionary, imaginative sort. met in the forest of Rambouillet.
 My fellow wore the rags of frock coat and was not very dirty, though hair and beard lad grown to mon- strous length. He was sitting with his back to tree. Bread he had and was eating it: by his side was a broken bottle half-filled with wine. His face was rather fine and intelligent, and the eyes l remember. were good and clear and kind as those of a setter bitch l used 10 shoot ovc- He -oddcd and waved his hand and began to talk to me-inverse. Ay, and very good verse. too, nimble- -trotting on its five. What he wanted was tobacco. And when he had broken up some Russian cigar cites to stuff a pipe with. he rhymed his drogue. Fifty years of age. this man had been university professor. The steep road he came down was that of alcohol.
 "A wandering poet, son of old Homer" said he. and. like him, fol- low the road"
 A volume Of his verses had been published. his name was Oresime Love. and he had been professor at Lyons. he took a tattercd copy of his poems from some nook in his rags and read to me. One line l have not forgotten: "The earth's my only bed. my curtains the blue sky" I left him there. smok- ing Russian tobacco. chanting his rhymes of the rOad--a kind of tramp unknown in the Anglo Saxon world, He had tried all sorts of life and found this best For him 1t held the Dream that vague ideal which most of us lose in youth and only fitfully remember.

PHOENIX. ARIZ., APRIL ,. 1908.
THE FIGHT IS OVER.

The question of sending an instruct ed delegation to the national republi- can convention was disposed of by yes terday's primaries throughout the ter ritorv exclusive of the indecisive result in this county. In Yavapai, Pima and Gila counties where the subject was rather clearer cut issue than in Mar icopa there were determined pro- nouncements against it. In Cochise though there was a local contest both sides were strongly against instruc- tions The sentiment was even more pronounced there than in other coun- ties in that it was strengthened by re- sentiment against federal interference.
 The Republican never believed from the beginning that>the territorial con- vention would commit Arizona to a course from which it had nothing to gain but in which it might sacrifice opportunities which are presented only once in four years.
 We do not believe now that the most ardent instructionists will pursue the scheme any farther but will cOnfine their efforts to securing an endorse ment in favor of Secretary Taft.
 The campaign which is now prac- tically at an end with the primaries has been made unnecessarily warm, especially in Phoenix. We think that the leaders on both sides will quickly see the advantage of applying healing lotions to bruised and abraded spots in order that they may be healed by the time the fray with the democrats begins.
 Unless the republicans Of Phoenix harbor revenge there is nothing fur ther to fight about for the only bone of contention has been removed.
 The principle for which the anti instruotionists contended has been overwhelmingly endorsed by a large majority of the republicans of the ter Iitory while the policy for which the instructionists contended has been shown to be impossible of adoption So it is time to shake hands and make up. The sooner it is done, the sooner whatever soreness there may be will be forgotten.

WHY BRYAN FAILED AT ST.
 LOUIS.

It was quite freely predicted before the St. Louis populist convention that MT Bryan would be nominated by that party. There seemed at first glance no reason why he should not be. He is sufficiently radical for the most wild eyed populist and he is ready to go to any extent of radicalism provided there are votes at the end of his jour chair all the vagaries in which pOpu- lists have indulsed from the outset would be endorsed. Mr Bryan was as good q populist in all but the name. as the best. But that is where the hitch came-in the name. MT. Bryan called democrat. could not smell as sweet The more enthusiastic popu- lists. those still hopeful Of seeing pop ulism a great third party, understood that nothing was to be accomplished by fusion. toward the realization of their dream.
 They have learned from their his tory. They received little if any bene- fit frcm fusion with democrats and silver republicans in 1896 when they joined in naming the candidate from Nebraska, whereas four years before when they chose General Weaver as their candidate they polled over a mil lion votes and earned twenty-two votes in the electoral college.
 IL was therefore clear to them that it would be better this year to keep to the middle of the road and leave the democrats to flock to themselves.

Thirty women of Crosby, members
OF the w. c. T. U. gathered Friday
and made things lively for the slot
machines and blind piggers. They
first entered every place in the town
where slot machines were manlpu-
lated, loaded the machines onto a
dray and had them hauled to the
edge Of town where they were smash
ed all to pieces with axes. They then
visited the blind pigs and Carrie Ma
ton fashion broke up the fixtures
and ran the beer into the cutters.
No attempt was made to stop the
women in their work of putting down
the liquor traffic, tho many tear was
shed by some of the old topeds whose
tongues were dry from thirst.

One of the cleverest pieces of de-
tective work ever seen in this city,
and on the part of Officer Pat Hy-
land. resulted in the arrest Tuesday
night Of two young men, Fred sible
adm Joe Hockey, who have confessed
to breaking into five of the places OF
business Of this city and stealing sew
eral hundred dollars worth of arti-
cles.
The following places were burglar
lied by these young desperadoes ac-
cording to their confession to the po-
lice: Minot Steam Laundry, Minus
Bros. General store, Hand Laundry,
Central Barber Shop, Sliter's barber
shop and Everybody's Meat Market.
The burglaries have been commit
ted at various times during the past
three weeks, and altho the police
knew what was going on, they were
unable to locate the guilty parties, al
tho extra men had been put on and
everyone, including the citizens we're
on a careful lookout.
AS Hyland was standing on the
street Monday afternoon, he noticed
the two burglars, take some cigars
from their pockets, and treat some
friends. They were we'll dressed, and
and didn't look like suspicious fell
lows, but he thought it strange that
two men out of work, should be so
flush with cigars. He Swallowed them
and saw them go to their room on

Burglars Captured
Bad Men with Big Guns Landed by Officer Hyland After
Clever Piece Of Detective Work--t1ad Burglar
lied Nearly Dozen Places

Thrift streets, where they occupied
a basement room and did a little
patching. Hyland stationed himself at
the City hall Monday evening at six
o'clock and waited until nine o'clock
when the men emerged from their
rooms. As they passed by the city
hail. the officer arrested them, and
placed them in jail. They swore that
they had done nothing, but on search
ing them Hy1and found large num-
Der of cigars, of the same brand THAT
was stolen. He went to their room
and there he goupd in grip about
seventy dollars worth of clothing,
taken from Mus Bros. Store, also a
lot of stuff gotten from the laundries.
He also recovered nearly all Of the
razors stolen from Sliter's shop, and
withal, secured nearly all of the goods
that had been stolen.
The younger of the two, who is
nineteen years old, then confessed to
the robberies, but the other was OBJ
stinate until Hyland made him cough
up.
The fellows were we'll provided
with guns, having two dangerous wea-
pons on their persons. They also had
chisels and a good kit of burglars
tools. They claim however that they
did not blow the safe at White Bros.
Ice cream factory. They say that they
entered the buildings generally after
midnight, but never used explosives.
They are good for a few years in
the pen. 49,
