THE POLITICAL uTTEpANcE

Thus far In the presidential cam paign the formal utterances of parties and men have been interminably long. The speeches in the various conventions were long. The plat forms have all been long. Mir. Tafts speech of acceptance was long and it Is to be presumed that MT. Bryans will be long. MT. Watson's was and that of Mr. Hearsts candidate will have to be.
 This all argues very healthy belief in the power of moral suasion, a very creditable reliance upon the ability of reasoning 10 educate the voters up to a better understanding of .heir needs and the best way to gratify them. But will the average voter read and inwardly digest these 'ong utteranoes? Won't they be more apt to skim one through, forget 1t and pass on to the next? There Is cer- tairly fear of this and if the fear IS well grounded, what in the end will have been the use of the effort inyolv- ed in the first place?
 In other words 1t begins to be somewhat apparent that words have already played too much of a part in the political drama and that a stua- ton or two must soon be sought to relieve the nervous tension of the vast audience. 1t Is not likely to sit still long under a downpour of words. l. has been nourished now for some time on fireworks and while perhaps that particular diet may be dispensed with, action of some kind will be de- manded It won't be to bore the electorate. Campaign managers should bear this in mind. Nor should the spectacle be commonplace in an initiative sense. Variety is the spice of life and the public will begin soon to ask to be entertained.

COME TO ITS OWN.

To the western mind, accustomed, as 1t is, to the enjoyment of the liberties of democratic government, 1t is not easy to grasp the full import of the many radical changes that have hap pened within fortnight in the domain of the Turkish sultan, Abdul Hamid With the establishment of a constitu- tional government and the convokins of a parliament in Turkey, 1t may truly be said that the world has lived to sec the rule of the people everywhere. 1t has been pointed out that Russia, Per sia and China have made great consti- tutional strides all within the last few years and that in Egypt and India there are now no uncertain rumblings that foretell hearty demand for sell rule. But, to the western mind, Turkey had been thought the one exception. It had been supposed that the sultan's SC, clusion would ever guarantee him the covering submissiveness of his poor, deluded subjects and his monarchy's s peculiar position in the very heart of Europe would make sure It's entirety, free from interference at the hands of any of the powers.
 True outside interference is no near CT now than ever, If anything, with the establishment of constitutional gov ernment and the advance of the more modern ideas in government in Tur- key, 1t Is today less probable that the boundary lines will ever be violated or changed. It is the seemingly impossible that has happened. The covering sub missiveness of the people has been tried too sorely. It must be remembered thai the sultan has granted his now famou;

 It ls a curious comment on the times In which we live that with oer- tain emendations and erasions, which can be accounted for on the score of temperament, and loose pencil any one of these platforms can be made to do service for the others. All are out to catch the Ire eaters. It Is this fact which makes interesting the pos sible or probable effect of the inde- pendence party upon the vote cast this fall. Mr Hearst has completely dumped Mir. Bryan and he has done 1t in a variogated language If he ig- nores MT. Taft in his speeches it Is because he does not expect anyone can believe for minute that he has any use for republican, His ean- didate for president ran for governor In the state of Massachusetts last year on an independence ticket and pollcd I5,000 votes. If that Is any criterion he may be able to eat big hole in the democratic vote, especially In those sections of the country where radical dishes are served at all meals, the sections fed daily by the Hearst string of newspapers. Whether he VIII eat a way Into the republican vote Is yet to be determined, but If he does 1t will be In those sections of the country
 The more one reads and studies the various political platforms which have been written on asbestos thls summer assuming that there are men who are thus blessed with leisure, the more the conclusion is driven home that the choice will ultimately lie be- tween men rather than tho views set forth for them before they were nom- mated. It Is to be expected that be- fore the polls have been reached the great majority of the voters will have reached a conclusion apart from plat form promises. It will be surprising nevertheless If the campaign proves to be a walkover for any candidate, IL begins to look like fight to the finish.

The utter dlslngenuousnes of the democratic platforms condemnation of republican extravaganza Is exposed conclusivcly. In conclusion Mir. Taft declares that the republican party has by great achievements In home, colon lal and foreign affairs fairly won l vote of confidence from the American people. "rhe democratic party under It's present leadership has shown itself ready to embrace any doctrines whlcl, would win votes. with little sense oi responsibility for its practical opera. ton IL has departed from sound eco- homie principles and reversed Its own traditional views of constitutional con. struciion. Therefore, MT. Taft asks for the continued support of lndepend' ent democratic as well as of republic. an voters.

THE INDEPENDENCE PARTY.

II is something for a young political party to receive the attention from the press and people that Mr. Hearst 8 party is receiving. He has every req - son on that account to felicitate him self, and also because he was able to side step the presidential nomination and confer the nomination for vice. president upon his chief editorial writer, John Temple Graves. It is not by the way so many months ago that this same MT. Graves was ad- visng Mir. Bryan to nominate Pr ssi dent Roosevelt in the democratic con- ventlon.
 The independence party Is hot "agin" both of the older parties and as It's platform declares, It's immediate purpose is to wrest the affairs of gov ernment from the hands of selfish interests, political tricksters and cor rupt bosses' Somewhat the same language will be found in the plat forms adopted by both the democratic and republican parties, but If we were to place the three platforms un- der the microscope especially reserved for the more scientific understanding of such utterances, we should be obliged to admit that there Is more ginger in the Hearst outfit, more ret fire and more hot stuff In those

INCONSISTENCIES ARE
 BLOCKING ID WILCOX
Thousands of Acres Are Being Taken Up For Dry Farming
 Purposes,

WILLCOX. Ariz.. Dec. 19.-The an nouncement of the changes in the Phelps Dodge companies. and the do- nation. through Prof. Douglas of a sufficient sum of money to maintain dry farming experiments in the Sul phur Springs valley. has aroused great interest here, as it has all along the valley between here and Douglas.
 Although this valley will not de- pend upon dry farming, as it has been demonstrated that thousands of acres of the very best land are susceptible of irrigation from an almost inex- haustible underfiow, practical dem. onstratien of the success of the scien- tifie methods of the Campbell system will materially aid in the settlement of the county. as it will cause settlers to cultivate land on higher ground in the valley and enable them to raise their crops with no water, orr less water. as the nature of the crops cul- tiyated demand. It is contended> and with every possibility of truth, that hundreds of thousands of acres in southern Arizona can be put under cultivation by a combination of tAe Campbell system with irrigation. Thls combination system will simply be he pumping of sufficient water tc Supply the deficiency in the rainfall, and as it can be applied at exactly the right time for the needs of the crops. success must attend such methods.
 All the land in the vicinity of Wili- COX, and practically all the valley be- tween a point twenty miles north o, Wilcox. southward tss Douglas, is, o- was, government land subject to en- try The water in the valley is very near the surface in many places, as in the vicinity of Wilcox, being from twelve to forty feet, and in seeming ly inexhaustible quantities.
 s The land near Wilcox is very rich, and that its advantages are becoming known to the home seekers is shown by the entry of about 60,000 acres within twelve miles of the place
 Home seekers are arriving on every train, and the majority of them find freeland to their liking, and file on it. The result is a sCrong demand for lumber, light building hardware, baro wire, groceries and clothing, and in the early spring there will be a strong demand for farming implements, wag- ons, etc Farm horses find q ready sale.
 Recent rains all over this part of Arizona have greatly benefited the stockmen by filling water holes In the mountains and on new ranges. The rains were needed, as the last grow ing season was a little dry and feed for all stock scarce. The stock inter ests centered at Wilcox are heavy.
