Get 100 Votes and Reach Honor
Roll at Head Of District

Contestants are advancing to the
honor position at the head OF
the list by dozens every day
in The Calls $4,000 prize contest. In
almost the whole field of the 81 sub
districts keen rivalry has sprung up
which has resulted in many securing
the 100 votes that are necessary to
gain a place at the head of the list
Those that have reached that position
are finding that this small advertise
ment Of their names at the top Of the
list has lightened their work wonder
fully. Their friends are much more
ready TO aid them and are becoming g
enthusiastic for their ultimate success.
To get into this honor roll means
only the securing OF a small subscrip-
tion. One month paid UP by a new
subscriber gives the contestant turning
in that subscription 100 votes. AS the
subscription costs only IS cents surely
every contestant whose name is not
yet. in the honor position has some
eted position. The contestant need not
stop at one months subscription, for

you secure years subscription 1900
votes viii be added. The longer the
subscription the greater the total, so
that ii is much better to get a year S
subscription than two for six months,
as the contestant gains 1000 extra
votes and probably does only half as
much work to get them
NOMINATE SELF TODAY
There are probably 1000 persons in
san Francisco alone who would like TO
win one Of the four automobiles Of

and that only means that they have

Bisbee daily review., 1908-12-05

According to reports from New
Mexico the republicans of that terri
tory are getting ready to start rough
house over the proposition of having
the territory admitted as state at
the coming session of congress.
What are known as the reformers in
the republican party of our neighbor
territory, headed By the Albuquerque
Journal, are giving 1t out cold that
statehood for New Mexico with the
old republican ring in control would
be undesirable and It IL believed that
rather than see the new state organ
lied by the present controllers of the
republican party there will be much
opposition to admission until such
times as Andrews, Bursum and other
republican ringsters can be deposed
from control of the territory by the
use of the thousands of ignorant Yot.

publican row In New Mexico will have

CAMPAIGN
FUND LISTS.

Whatever analysis may be made OF
these lists, and howeyer~we may diff.
fer in our interpretations, there must
be general agreement that their pub
lication means notable advance in
our political organization. With the
passage OF the Law against partisan
contributions by corporations a great
evil was wiped out. and with the pub.
hcation of the republican and the
democratic funds it is assured that
parties must more and more look for
general rather than special support.
Publicity is theref ne a measure OF
pdrification. 1t is something more
important still, it Is measure of dem.

RAILWAYS
AND PUBLIC.

Says the CleveianG Plain Dealer:
The railroads which propose to In
crease their freight rates TO take eft.
feet about the first of the year win
find less opposition to the move than
they would have encountered only a
few months ago. Not only is the pub
| lie coming more generally to reeog-
nize the fact that The transportation
lines are agencies OF progress rather
than oppression, but Industrial condi-
tions are so much better now than
they were when this increase of rates
was first proposed. that the act of
the railroads will be looked upon with
much more leniency. There is no in
clination new to believe the roads are
doing an unfair thing. without giving
them an opportunity to prove the JUS
tice of their act. People are general
" willing to have The dispute settled
on its merits and 10 acquiesce In the
Increase If the roads can convince the
shippers that conditions demand it. 1t
is worth while to notice also the
change of attitude toward the public
the railroads have adopted in connec-
ton with the present controversy.
The companies ami their patrons, the
shippers, are to determine in confer
ence the rate of III crease. Instead of
enforcing an arbitrary 10 per cent ad-
vance. as was proposed some months
ago. the increase. it is now believed.
win not be far from g per cent. More
important from the peoples point of
view than the rate OF increase, how
ever, is the new attitude OF fairness
and cooperation the railroads now as
sumo toward the public.

Mayor Tom Johnson of Cleveland is
all to the bad in a financial way. He
backed his Scent tare railroad to the
limit OF his fortune, and then gave
it up as a bad job. But Tom, who is
really a game sporc, says he is glad
of 1t anyway, as wealth has been a
great care to him. He will remain in
politics, and has announced himself
as a candidate for mayor next year.
He expects to give up his autos, his
fine residence and ether good things,
but insists that he will be happier,
anyway. The mayor is down, but not
out by any means. He is made of the
right stuff and win be on top again.

THE MARVELLOUS
SOUTH.

SOUTH.
Fifty years ago the south lay pros
trate. Her fields were devastated
her industries obliterated. She boast
aed only OF her past. and lifted up the
remnants Of her bruised spirit to glor
ify traditions which war had swept
away. Today she is almost riotous in
the ferYor of her Industrial activity.
Her boast Is her progress; she glori.
fies no more the traditions of her
past. but the promises for her future.
The history of southern states for
the last 50 years & perhaps the most
remarkable recorded of any section
of the weird in so brief a time Not
even t1e captains Ct industry, with
their hngers constantly on the pulses
of trade. conceive the phenomenal
rapidly of Industrial growth at the
south without the aid of figures. Fig.
ures dc not lie. and it is only their
reputation for veracfty that saves the
startling figures showing the south's
prosperity from impeachment.
In 1858 the amount of capital in
rested il southern industries might
be represented as nearly nil In 1880
it had grown to s21 600, 00e for cottonn
mills alone. But IS years later. in
1908, the amount Of capital invested

BY 1880 the coal output had grown to

to him more strongly than the Inn
pulse for change. Few young men are
fortunate enough Ia the beginning to
ok upon the one line of effert for
themselves, choose wisely a field of
opportunity that is promising enough,
and then hold fast, says a writer in
the Chicago Tribune.
Thousands of capable yosng men
are unable to understand why it is
that men of riper judgment and ex-
perience are inclined always to frown
upon this impulse for change which is
SO universal in youth. Some of this
conservatism belongs to age without
further reason. but it remains that
much OF it is based in a sane. sound
observation Of men and things.
That one trouble with the young
man is that his impulse for change
Is TOO often based ON something else
than his judgment. He may be dis
satisfied with his slow progress where
he is. His imagination may prompt
him that somewhere else he with have
a better opportunit?. Mere desire IL
see the world may be the incentive
which stirs him.
But whatever the single or cumula-
tive promptings which move the
young man to new fields. that change
cannot be made in wisdom without
taking into consideration the present
and potential worth of the position
which he holds. Not all such positions
have been chosen N1sely. 1t is quite
possible that many OF them could De

the choice must be made in wisdom
and not because of restIessness in

see little more of the world than is
possible to him whore he is.

the mere fact of an applicants hav-
