Socialism would give TO each an
equal right TO take; Republicanism
would give to each an equal right to
earn Socialism would offer equality
of possession which would soon
leave no one anything to possess.
Republicanism would give equality
of opportunity which would assure to
each his share of the possession. In
line with this tendency the Demo-
cratic party of today believes in gov
eminent ownership while the Repub-
lican party believes in government
regulation. Ultimately the Demo-
Gratis would have the nation own the
people. while Republicans would have
the people own the nation.
Upon this platform of principles
and purposes and adherence TO every
Republican doctrine proclaimed since
the birth of the party we go before

and make secure the achievements of

attached most importance, apparent

proposition TO insert plank re-

carried into effect Stress was laid
also upon the coming nomination
preeluding the superstition of a pos
sible surprise in the action of the
convention. These motives for buy
ing stocks were not effective outside
of narrow professional circle, the
political activity having no other APP
parent effect on the general financial
world than to prompt the caution and
hesitation. Other matters seemed TO

OLD FOLKS DAY,

Yesterday was a day which will be long remembered by a larNe number of the old people of Mesa who gather ed at the Mesa opera house to par take of the good things which had been brought there for them The interior of the opera house had been decorated with palms and pepper boughs along the side walls and balcony until it resembled a bower of greenery. Along the sides of the room and in front of the stage the tables were spread, formed in an immense hollow square. and were laden with good things and decorated with huge bouquets.
 A throne had been erected on the stage, oR which were seated the king. Wm. Passe, and the queen, Mrs. Ann Brizzee, who were crowned by the maid of honor, Miss Gean Hunsaker. An address of welcome, and of the origin of old Folks day and its sig nificance, was delivered by Judge l.. V. Guthrie, which was followed by an entertaining program.
 The following is the ceremony used by the maid of honor in crowning the king and queen:
 Chosen ones of our aged sircs, we your humble subjects greet you with loving reverence: and through you We extend our joyous greeting to all who have crossed the divide of 55 years"
 To the l1ing-"In behalf of your loy- al subjects, I place this crown of gold upon your brow, and proclaim you king of your realm, our fathers
 To the queen-"And in behalf of all humanity I place this crown of silver. suggestive of your locks, upon your brow, and crown you queen in the realm of life. at whose shrine our ear Hest and latest prayers are breathed, our mothers
 To both king and queen-"We are now yours. to command. and may you both and all such. ever reign in the hearts and loving kindness of all of Gods children"
 The ceremonies were closed by a dance given in the Mesa opera house in the evening.

MESA
MESA,s WAFER SUPPLY.

This vital question which i5 to be one of the paramount issues at the forthcoming city election on the 18th inst. is one that should have careful consideration from the business men and property owners of Mesa. and that serious thought is being given to it by those who have the cities in- terests at heart, is shown by the diff ferent letters now being received hY The Republican. of which the follow ing by o. s. Stapley, is one.
 Mesa, Arizona, May 18th, 1908.
 As a citizen of Mesa I wish to say somtthing in regard to voting the $50,000 bonds for waterworks purposes. on the 25th of this month Having lived on the mesa for twenty six years, and seeing it grow from a pop ulatiOn of about seventy-six people. to the present population of one thousand five hundred, we cannot expect to see the city grow much greater in population and business enterprises until we have some assurance that it will be protected against fire.
 We have had two very disastrous fires in our city, as you know, the loss sustained in either one of them amounting to as much as the bond is sue which is now before the people We now have ten miles of streets that are being used by the public in cover All of these streets with S50,OOO, Mesa, so it would be impossible to install a water system that would but what We want is to putin per manent system that will last for the next twenty years, if we only put in stand pipe and direct pressure pumping outfit, and two miles of pipe lines, but let us have them large enough so that we can add to them from year to year as the population demands, so that when Mesa becomes a city of fifteen or twenty thousand people, it will not be necessary to tear up our water mains and put in larger ones. (City of Phoenix for eXample.)
 Let us put this $50, 900 where it will do the most good and all pull togeth- CT, no matter if we live in parts of the city where it will be impossible to get the benefits of this water sys- tenn direct at the present time, for we must remember that all this time, it is making our property more valuable as property advances in value in the center of town where the system is in active operation.
 When we consider that the two sides of Main street in one block. pay as much taxes as all the rest of the city together, we will see that these taxpayers will bear the burden of taxation. The increased taxation re- sulting from the installation of the water system will amount to only twenty-five cents additional on the $10O valuation, so it will work no hardship on any one.
 My candid opinion is that the in- stallation of the plant will make but a very small difference if any in the rate of taxation, and after the first year, the plant will be a source of revenue for the city. Investors will then be willing to build good, substan- tial residences and business blocks, when they know that they will have

some chance of saving them in case of

some chance of saving them in case of fire.
 Tt is also my firm belief that the installation of the correct water sys- tenn will mean a saving to the mer- chants and citizens of Mesa in insur- ance premiums, amounting to more than the interest on the bonds. As near as I can learn, municipal owner ship of waterworks in other cities, has tended to reduce the rate of taxation. 'So let us all work, each with his neighbor on this bond issue and try to have it as near unanimous as possi- ble. Then help the city council to formulate plans to put in one of the best systems in the fest as far as S50,OOO will take it, so that if we should have a fire in the city, where the fire is, it will be wet wet, wet.
 Yours truly,

THE CRUSADE ON.
Mosquitoes Slaughtered Yesterday in
 Wholesale Lots.

According to theory and to the statement of W. H. Ward, there will be a noticeable decrease in the num- Der Of mosquitoes in Tempe within the next twenty four hours. With a corps of three assistants. Mir. Davis commenced work yesterday morning and by night had made good progress. He is going at it in a thorough man. ner and the task, properly handled, is necessarily a slow one. A block is taken at a time and it is not left until every part of it has been looked over and each spot that gives the slightest encouragement to the breed ing of mosquitoes has been given good application of crude oil. MT. Davis says that it has been found by actual experience that crude oil is better than coal oil or a mixture of the two. The crude oil lasts longer, does not evaporate so soon and is more effective. Mir. Davis still com full support of the people for so far as he has yet observed but a very few have acted in any measure upon the suggestions he made at the be- ginning of the crusade and which were published in these columns. He says, however, that he feels certain that as soon as people begin to see the difference in the number of mosquitoes, they will wake up to the good that is being done and will lend a helping hand.

UNIQUE ADVERTISING

Board of Trade Furnishes the Sta tionery and the Pupils Do the Rest-A Popular Project.

The board of trade has devised a unique scheme for advertising that will surely return a large percentage on the investment. It has had printed 15O0 letterheads bearing the heading of the Phoenix Central school. with the words in one corner Compliments of the board of trade The letter sheets are double the same as the old-fashioned letter paper bought by the quire. Only one page is for let ter writing, the other three being filled with printed facts respecting conditions in this valley.
 The paper is furnished the school for distribution among the pupils who desire to write to friends or to pupils of schools in other parts of the country. The paper has all been turned over to Professor StilweH and it has occasioned a great deal of en- thusiasm among the young people. The only trouble is the supply is not large enough to give the ambitious youngsters enough to satisfy them all and they keep applying to the board of trade for more, but there is none to be hadA
