should be. abolished.

The next. speaker was S. Nc.
EGowan Simkins, Esq, candidate
for the House, who bryan by say
ing Thomas Jefferson put this
test to the aspirant 10 public
Office: as he honest, is he capa-
BILE, is he true to the constitu-
tion?" MIR. Simkins stated that
he was willing 20 leave it TO the
people to say whether he Was hon
est or capable. In choosing their
re presentatives, said he, the voters
should have an eye to a mans
capacity rather than his position
upon the liquor problem, lien law
and other questions. You can not
legislate prosperity or morality
but can only provide the necessa.
ry machinery. The speaker stated
that the question of liquor, high
morality and religion can best be
advanced by compromise, and
that citizen should vote for
liquor if. it bettered conditions.
Mr.. Si-nkins said you eau have
an ideal star but ycu can ap-
proach it only as conditions and
environments permit.
A discussion of the question of
local option was then entered into
at considerable length by Mr..
Simkins. He stated that in his
opinion local option is right, and
as matter of expediency should
be embraced by all prohibition
lists. The "dry" counties secured
prohibition under the Brice law
a local option law. Following the
Brice law, another local option
measure, the Carey-Cothran law
was enscted, which is, said the
speaker, a compromise law.
In referring to the Especial
box" resolution that was adopted
by the county executive commit
tee, Mr.. Simkins said in Ei5
Judgment it was under present
conditions not expedient AID
wise. He expressed The opinion
that the matter should be decided
by speciai election.

II P. Wells, ESQ.

II. p. Wells, Esq.
Mr.. Wells is candidate for the
House and began with the discus
sion of education. He favors the
higher institutions but thinks
some of them should be taught
economy, as they are always
clamoring for more money. Would
not reduce appropriation so low
as to impair usefulness of the coll
leges but would buil6 up the
country schools.
Mr.. Wells thinks that the dis
ordinations against small towns
by the railroads, particularly in
the matter of freight rates: should
not be allowed. lie says passen-
ger rates for. a long or short dis
tance are the same per mile,
but in freight rates the short haul
is at much higher rate than is
charged for a long haul. Mr..
v wishes to see this discre D.
y corrected.
ne speaker began the discus
sion of tn" liquor question by
saying whiskey is what General
Sherman said war was (h-').
Mr.. Wells says the liquor problem
is tough knot, and that the best
solution of it is not to drluk the
solution. He advised all young
men not to drink liquor, especial
ly blind tiger liquor, for it re-
quires a copper lined stomach aud
wrought iron skull to stand tn at
Kind. This question has alroa dy
cost the tax payers large su m,
the expenses of the legislat u re
being $1,000 per day aud ab O
one.third of the time was Oh
sumed with this one question.
Mr.. Wells says it is not consist
ent with that high principle of
home rule aud local self govern-
me1t to take away the right
the people to say whether they
shall have dispeEsarY or pr6hi-
bition, maintaining that q loc Il
option law is tha best souti oil a

Mr.. John c. Morgan.
The second speaker introduced
for the House was Mr.. John G.
Morgan, the Nestor of the "School
of Politics" This was his maiden
effort in political speech making
and he imagined in advance that
be would he scared to death but
stated that he was not frightened
bit. The speaker said he did not
know it all; has much to learn
yet, but has a strong conviction
that prohibition is right. Mr..
Morgan says that it is his earnest
desire to put liquor as far away
from the boys as possible, and
that prohibition is the o.lly means
of doing it; local option might
put it right at their door. He stat
ed that he was as good Democrat
as anybody. The speaker said
that prohibition is not. now on
trial 1t has been tried aud has
proven success. People are fight
ing on the liquor question and
will keep on lighting till we get
statewide prohibition, because it
is right. Mr.. Morgan SAID We
should not only snun evil, but
every appearances OF evil, and that
liquor selling is great evil,
nothing being more degrading.
The speaker said: II am a
straigEtout prohibitionist, and if
1t is Gods will for me u go to
the legislature, l want t. be elect.
ed, l am not a politician and am
not seeking the office for the Off
ce's sake, but want the Office for

MIR. Morgan stated that he had
uever been in public life before
and had not studied the various
questions that had been discussed
but will study them aud do bis
very best for ali concerned. He
advocates equal rights to all aud
special privileges to none. Mr..

Already the republicans are getting busy suggesting the names of those whom they desire shall go to the re publican national convention at Chi c=ss as delegates from Arizona The Copper Era at Clifton has proposed the name of Judge F. s. Nave, as the Attest man to be selected by@Gila and Graham counties. The Journal-Miner of Prescott names Judge R. E. Sloan as the desirable man to send to Chi- cago from the five northern counties. There will be no trouble fin filling the entire delegation from among the federal appointees of the territories. We imagine that such delegation would be entirely satisfactory to the administration forces whether they were instructed or not

LOOKING AHEAD.

Everything is pointing now not to a simple recovery of the mineral indus try in the mineral country which in cludes the great Warren disrict, the Cananea and the Nacozari country: from it's recent curtailment, but to a greater activity for the early future than ever before. ID the Warren dis trict today the two large companies are working about as many miners as they ever did in the past. It is true that the Shattuck and Denn are not working as many men as were em- .ployed there a year ago, but at the meeting of the Shattuck directors to be held in the city of Duluth it is expected that orders will be given for starting construction on their pro posed smelter at Douglas, site al- ready having been chosen and sur veyed.
 During the present year, if adopted plans are carried out, the Calumet and Arizona shelter will be doubled in capacity; enlargements have also been planned for the Copper Queen smelter.
 It is the general belief that by the first day of August, next, there will be more miners employed in the Warren district than ever before. It is re- garded as certain that before that date Cananea will be back in the pro duction game with as many men enl- ployed as at any time in the past. Nacozari is coming to the front rap idly and when the new concentrator is completed it will require a much larger force there than has ever been employed before
 All this means that BIsbee and Douglas are to have not only the pros perity of the last three or four years restored but in addition a much larg- CT volume of trade and prosperity than eyer enjoyed in the past.

MAGRANI IS UNDER
 ARREST FOR GAMBLING
Phoenix Marshal PincheS Sa- loon Man, Charging Him ,
 With Running Game,

PHOENIX, Feb. 3.-On a charge of running a house in which gambling lis permitted, O. Magnani was this morning taken into custory. by Mar shal Moore Magnani is the pro prietor of the Redlight saloon. that was, and of the houses of i'll fame in connection herewith
 This action was taken as result of the arrest in one Of the rooms in the district a few days ago of Juan Barrarros and Apelino Lopez. Bar rarros and Lopez were fined $50 apiece by Judge Thomas, but as they had little money they are work ing it out
 At their trial the two men threw every protection they could around Magnani They declared that they had ,strolled into the place and sat down at a table, whereon there were cards and chips. One ordered a glass of soda and another cigar. By and by one proposed a little game of draw. They took out what money they had and laid it on the table. After a few minutes of play an officer chanced to glance in and as circumstances were dead against them took them under the protecting wing of the law.
 At the trial both men suddenly changed the story they had previous H told that they were merely play ing Tor fun and pleaded guilty. How ever, nothing could be gotten out of them that would incriminate Mag mani. They did not even remember the man who had brought them the soda and cigar. Magnani himself was put on the stand and swore that he knew nothing at all about the matter. Ifsmen chose to play poker for money in his house without his knowledge he did mot see how he could be held responsible.
 Yet Marshal Moore was certain that Magnani knew more than he would tell. He also suspected that Barrarros and Lopez had been care fully coached in the story they should tell in the event taey were caught. After a conference with City Artor- ney Prescott and Judge Thomas a warrsnt was issued by the latter, which was served shortly before noon today.
 If, as the marshal is inclined to be- lieve, more than one quiet game has been carried on at tho Rediight with Magnani's knowledge, it may be pos sible to secure testimony against him, The question of testimony is a tough one and the marshall will have to be pretty lucky II Magnani is convicted.
 Added to the difficulty of securing testimony is the peculiar wording of the city ordinance against gambling. In several places the phrasing is rather vague and there is a question as to exactly what is meant.

COMMENTING ON
 THE MESSAGE.

The first republican papers of im- portance to reach us since the publi- cation of the presidential message of last week are not giving any loud ap- plause to the document, while the democratic press is declaring that careful reading of the democratic na- tional platform during the past twen- ty years will disclose that the reforms for which President Roosevelt is now going to the utmost extremity of his strenuosity to enconipass were started long ago by the representative demo crats of the country. It was re- marked yesterday by gentleman in Douglas who has the reputation of keeping thoroughly posted on matters political that at the present time Roosevelt republican and a Bryan democrat were laboring for identical purposes, save on the one dividing issue of the tariff
 It is a safe guess that more ap- plause will come from the democrats than from the republicans.
 What the president points out as conditions which are expressing the people and asks to have changed are conditions which have grown up dur. ing the last fifty years of republican rule in this country When Lincoln led the republican party to power there were no favored national banks and there was no high protective tar if as a powerful advantage for the manufacturer over the consumers of the country. This iniquitous tariff system bred the trusts and protected them in the work of total obliteration Of competition which would mean no thing more nor less than monopoly.
 Republicans accept the Roosevelt doctrine without an acknowledgment that they have. during their more than a half century of power, allowed the special privileges granted to over ride the prosperity of the common people.
 Following Is the comment of the Arizona Republican, the leading re publican paper in Arizona. on the mes sage. We publish t as sample of the kind of applause which may be expected from the many republican expected from many republican pap CTS for the message. Says the Repub- lican: . ...
 "The presidents special message to congress yesterday, ostensibly rec ommendation for the enactment of an employers liability law to meet the lately expressed views of the supreme court of the United States, was made
