Regarding the injunction law which
the republicans are about to assail in
their platform, Suppose William
Smith, member of the American Fed
Grafton Of Labor. is the owner of a
house and lot in Bisbee and the E.
p and S. w. railroad company desired
TO build a spur or sidetraek over a
route which would require the ground
the house stands on and suppose the
railroad company undertook to tear
down the house without making salts
factory settlement for its value, or
any settlement. Would not the pres
emit Injunction law be of value to
Smith lin stopping the company IRON
destroying the house; would it not be
desirable TO have a temporary injunc-
ton ON afidayits, 10 restrain the com
pany from destroying the house:
delay until hearing could be had TO
determine whether the injunction
should issue or no would be TO allow
the destruction of the house before it
would be possible to have such hear
ing thus rendering an ultimate RENE
dy ineffective. The writ of injunction
is a necessary remedy to preserve the
rights of the individual and the rights
of property, threatened. and when APP
piled by an honest judge no one has
cause for desiring its abolition or
modification. This country must in
sist on all the laws necessary TO pro
-tect the rights of the individual citizen
and his property and it should not be
forgotten that corporate property is
entitled to the same protection as that
of the individual

DO THEY WANT
ROOSEVELT.

ROOSEVELT.
Following is an editorial from the
New York World:
when the republican allies' issue
statements predicting that Taft will
be defeated in the Chicago conven-
ton what do they mean? That Roose-
Welt viii be nominated?
Surely none of the allies believes
that Hughes or Knox or Fairbanks or
Cannon or Foraker can take the nom
nation away from Taft in conyen-
ton controlled by Theodore Roosevelt.
That is too silly for serious consider
alton even on a hot day. The situa-
ton remains precisely what II was
months ago when the president began
to tell his visitors: II they don't take
Taft they'll get me. There is no
way Of betting Taft except by taking
Roosevelt. who Is still holding the
threat of his own candidacy over the
heads of his opponents
If the allies do not know This, they
do not know anything. The plain
question is; DO they want Roose-
velt?'"

Associated Press dispatches to the
International recently an
nounced the departure for Europe of
David Bennett Hill. former United
States senator from New York, and
for long time a democratic leader
Before leaving he is quoted as saying
that there was no longer any demo
cratic party. The political light of
David B. Hill went out just about the
time Bryan's star began TO shine and
as the new star shone with renewed
lustre the political gloom surround
ing David B. increased until lately it
was almost impossible to find him No
doubt his early departure for Europe
is accounted for by the approach of
the democratic convention at Denver
where for the third time the thrice
recognized leader of the party is to
be lrenominated. Once in twelve years
the party again hardened to the ad-
vice of David B. Hill and the result
was so disastrous that his prediction
now that the democratic party is dead
may be taken as a sure sign that the
party has secured new lease on life
and win march to certain victory in
November.

THE YAoui
WAR NOT OVER.

The Yaqui war unfortunately is not
ended. To some people this is no
surprise but TO many the news win
be of a most depressing nature. The
blame is said to be not wholly with
the Indians. It is deliberately charged
that during the armistiee the Mexican
government openly vicl2ted its agree
ment with the Yaqui chief. in that in
stead of allowing matters to remain
statu quo, as they were when he first
Sought an audience with the Mexican
general in command Of the zone. they
ailed the country with troops and oc-
cupied points Of advantage they were
not privileged to occupy before. This
of itself was SUFFICIENT TO awaken a
feeling of distrust and suspicion on
the part OF the Indians, It is said,
however, by parties recently arrived
AiOh f1SlAiOSAiAO flAoi NASh 6ONSAh
ment aid was offered the rebel chief
he refused it pending an unconditon
al surrender. He asked, however,
that merchants be allowed to visit the
camp for the purpose of selling them
much needed merchandise. PERMITS
sion having been granted it is said
that Bule purchased not less than $751;
coo worth. and paid for same in Amer
can money 1t is reported by the
same authority that he still had some
$4,000, ali in United States coin. 1t
is said that he further Informed the
Mexican general that his fighting
force consisted OF 1900 men, OF which
400 were armed with 1880 caliber ri
fles. Whether this be true or not it
is believed in semi-ofiicial circles and
if true it would appear that double
game was being played 10 the disad
vantage OF the Mexican government
The very fact. and it is fact, that
Bule refused government aid was sig
nifcant of intended treachery This,
however could have been practiced
more adroitly had he accepted it, but
by refusing it the opportunity came
for purchasing goods in unlimited
quantities. We do not say that this
is so but We do say that such is the
belief in semi-offcial circles in Her
mosillo. Unfortunately nothing is To-
be gained by continuance of the war,
and in the end the Yaqui is sure 20
be beaten In the meantime they viii
be killed on a few at time and the
women and children, non-combatants,
will be sent to die on the plains of
Yucatan. To the war there can only
be one ending however far the end
may be away, but in the meantime the
mining and commercial interests of
the state will suffer. Already the loss
is enormously great and the financial
strain has almost reached the break
ing point. However, let US hope for
the best.

The republicans are becoming very
solicitous about the labor vote and
will attempt to deceive this vote as it
has in the past by a meaningless
plank about the injunction law. There
is nothing the matter with the in
junction law with those who desire to
obey the law and the rights of others
and there is no occasion for any de-
claration by any one regarding it.

GOVERNOR kIeBEY
AS A POLITICIAN.
(Arizona STAR

(Arizona STAR
The decision of the national repub-
iican committee which unanimously
seated Colonel Powell, the regularly
elected delegate to represent southern
Arizona in the convention, WAS right
and just, AS such it surprises no one
We do not believe that even Governor
Kib5ey expected otherwise. Kibbey
is generally regarded as 2 shrewd
man. but he played the baby act and
abandoned the convention at the very
time ne could hav won it 10 very
thing but instruction. While east he
undoubtedly was apprised Of the
weakness of the situation and an at
tempt was made to bolster it up
through the territorial committee The
action OF said committee being Illegal
and irregular could not and did not
change the complexion of the situa-
ton. No action of his friends could
make right or legalize a wrong done.
If the bolt from the convention was
wrong in the first place no patching
would help it. It was wrong in the be-
ginning and the, end found it in the
same condition. Aside from all politi-
cal bias or affiliations it is sincerely to
be regretted that the highest officer in
the government of the territory would
lend himself to the attempted graft of
a little political power. What or earth
did ne hope to gain by the disruption
OF his party, even if he had succeed
ed? SO far as the democrats are con
cerned it may truthfully be said that
it was none of their funeral and that
the spectacle of a political nix-Gp in
the camp of the enemy was more TO
be applauded than deplored. But
such was not the case. The Star and
its management have always stood
and hope ever 10 continue to stand
for a fair deal to fried and foe alike
The Star l. IN Arizona Institution. Il
was born here and grew TO its present
proud estate on Arizona patronage. i
never did and never viii sanction {
wrong done under any cover, color OF
pretext and not raise its voice il
protest. As a territory we are stand
ing on the threshold OF statehood anC
cannot afford to be falsely represented
before one of the great political bodies
of the nation by playing the part of ;
pretender. Arizona is strong in he
own right and should have gene be
fore the committee with clean bill
of lading. That she was not permit
ted 70 do so was due wholly to III,
misguided ambitions Of Governor Kib
hey. When the true condition OF al
fairs was made known TO the commit
tee they voted to a man and Arizona
came into her owa. IN conclusion tbs
Star IS free to say that Governor KID

snca We have ever been pleased Il
accord him the honor and credit due
but when he essays the role of boss
politician with equal pleasure We are

sistent insistence upon an Instructed
delegation in open defiance to the
win of his party led to his undoing
It was a plain case in which the small
politician oyerleaped himself. and this
was made pam TO the wDOo oSuutr5
by the unanimous action Of the pa

j. W. Morgan, the nominee for sher-
i'll on the Republican ticket, needs
no introduction to our readers, since
for the past fifteen years he has been
actively engaged in business and was
resident OF the county for some time
before. He may be justly styled a self
made man, since he began with moth
Ing, and by hard work and attention
to business has secured competence.
Not only has he made his money in
La Plata county but he has spent It
here. Mr.. Morgan is one Of the men
who help to develop and build up a
country. The various lines of business
in which he has been interested have
not only aided In developing the re-
sources of the county. but have given
employment to many and have put
much money in circulation. His In.
terests are here and have been for
years.
With his partner, Mr.. Wood, Mr..
Morgan has successfully conducted a
transfer business, run a flourishing
livery, and managed feed corral, en-.
gaging In all Of these for at least ten
years. Mr.. Morgan has taken much
interest In improving stock. IN brssd.

H&& an enterprising young man
who psii Etl,ct attention to his own
affairs with such good purpose that
Durango citizens began to give him
both their attention and their patron
age.
DR.. w. H. C. Folsom, the Republican
candidate for commissioner in district
No. 2. was the man to whom we re.
Ter, and as every one knows, what
was true of him in early days is equal.
ly true today. By unflagging industry
and honest labor in his profession he
has established a flourishing and ever.
increasing business.
The money he has made, outside of
tnat used to further develop his bust
ness, and for running expenses, he
has invested in Durango and La Plata
county realty, thus assisting in de.
veloping the resources of this sec.
tion.
DR.. Folsom has contributed to the
appearance of our city the finest of
Nntal buildings with handsome Of
hces. beautifully furnished and fitted
up with the most approved appliances.
1t is doubtful whether finer building
oi It's character is to be found in the
STATE. This building is a sample of the
pride the doctor has in making a sue.
cess of everything he undertakes.
A year ago last spring the Repub
lfcans prevailed upon him to accent
the nomination of alderman, and he
was elected by neat majority in a
Democratic ward This was his first
office OF public nature, and came
to him unsought. During the time he
has served in this capacity, he has
given close attention to the interests
OF the city; he has stood solidly
against graft of every description: and
has voted always in such manner as
to protect the taxpayers, as an inves-
si6otioh Vi tHe OluCldl records VIII
show.
Until late in September, DIR. Folsom
paid no attention to the frequent de
'mands of Republicans to accept the
no2ination for commissioner, but the
EXPRESSIONS of good will and promises
Of support in securing the nomination
came from every precinct so that he
finally consented to become the party
nsminSe.
If elected. he will give everybody a
square deal. He has no political enc
mics to punish and no political friends
to serve to the detriment of the coun-
ty. He will do the fair thing to each
and every section. He will treat wage
Garner and corporation with justice
More than that the people cannot wish,
nor have they any right to ask.

He has never sought office, the nom
