The independence Party.

INV Iu0VRSu0SuSV > ~
OF the half dozen or more so called
third" parties there is no doubt that
William r. Hearst's personally con-
Quoted Independence party will make
the loudest noise in the 1908 presiden-
tial campaign. To be sure Mr.. Hearst
thrust aside the crown of the nomina-
ton which he might have won if it had
pleased his fancy, but the selection of
a Massachusetts man named Hisgen as
the party standard bearer will not pre-
vent Hearst himself from being the
chief figure in all the Independence
only founded it, but he puts up the
money that keeps it alive and it is al
together likely that without his finan-
cial assistance the party would melt
away into thin air.
The strength of the independence
party movement does not lie in the per-
sonality of Hearst, for that is q source
of weakness for it rather than OF
strength, but it lies in the millions
which he commands and in his chain
of sensational newspapers across the
continent from San Francisco to Bos-
ton. 1t lies also in his appeal to class
hatred, an appeal in which he outbds
Bryan himself in his invitation to the
Gxt 10 I,
yellow banner.
Although the Hearst party wages
war upon both the old parties alike,
there is no doubt that it's activity in
this campaign will be to lessen any
possible chances of Bryans election
which may exist. Bryan himself early
recognized this and has tried in vain
to conciliate Hearst and gain his sup
port. How far he succeeded is shown
by Hearst's speech at Chicago in which
he called the Democrotic candidate "a
Falstaff arrayed in a motley Of mod
flied professions and compromised prln-
ciples, of altered opinions and retracted
Statements and in which he called the
boodlers and braves" and an army
whose banner bears on one side a
watchword for the people and on the
other a password for the trusts, whose
only object is office at any cost, and
whose motto is after us the deluge'
delegate at the Hearst party conven-
zion who tried to name Bryan as the
party's nominee Tor the presidency was
mobbed and narrowly escaped from the.
hall with his life.
The significance of the attitude of the
Hearatites is found in the fact that the
their endorsement, and in the addi-
lional fact that not only are Hearst
and most of his lieutenants former
Democrats bur the votes of the party
are drawn almost wholly from the De-
mocracy. The Hearst strength is in
the great cities, Boston, New York,
Chicago and San Francisco, and there
and elsewhere the work of the Hearst
| organization may well cause the Dem
ocrats Il lot of worry. Aside from its
capacity to inJure Bryan the Hearst
party can amount to nothing. 1t has
no vital issue and does not come into
being in response to any genuine need.
The secret of it's existence is probably
found in the personal ambition OF
Hearst who thinks that the dsintergra-
ton of the Democratic party is at
hand and that he can make himself the
leader of its successor.

The Town Summer Girl.

The Summer Girl down by the sea,
st oils lonely on the slvery strard;
Or, in the wild waves, bilowy,
Is guided by her own fair hand.
Lay in, day out, it's hers to scan
The sea and shore to find a man.
The Summer Girl, up in the hills,
Sits lonesome in her hammock swing;
She reads d novel for her thrIils,
And hears no little love-hi1ds sing.
Size war'ers far. she braves the tan
In searching vainly for a man.
The Summer Girl, who stays in town,
Is on the everlasting jump,
Until n"r systems quite run down
And her emotions on the slump.
The men are standing in Il line
Around the block, on more;
They beg of her to sup or dine,
Or go down to the shore:
IhCE take her out in motorcarS,
70 all tie roofs in town she goes;
They walk with her beneath the stars,
Or take her to the summer shows.

Duffy, a deputy in the internal rev.

making more than twelve miles.
He succeeded in adding something
to this distance, but after ne had
pushed his way strongly through the
water for five hours and twelve min

fourteen miles, he was obliged TO stop.

Takes First Place in All of the

The recently organized Bisbee Re.
yolyer Club yesterday completed sue
cessfully the first matches of their
kind ever held in Arizona. Inasmuch
as there are no other clubs of the
kind in the territory, and the rules of
the matchs, which were held under the
auspices of the United States RevoIv.
err Association, allowed entries from
any part of the territory, the shoot was
for the championship of Arizona.
Yesterday there were held what are
officially known as Matches B" and

match and a military revolver match.
In both of these ALT. E. Mackenzie,
who carried off the honors in the
first match. took first place. The
practice Mackenzie received while a

abled him to easily maintain the lead
in all three of the matches.

they will be able to have contesting
teams from several places.

NEGROES IN
DOUGLAS RAISE
A PROTEST
County School Superintendent
Rockefeller Goes To Douglas
to Hear Protest of Co.ored
Citizens.

County School Superintendent
Rockefeller passed through Bisbee last
evening from Douglas, where lie had
been in an attempt to pour oil on the
troubled waters in the Douglas school
district, occasioned by the decision
of the school trustees there to segre-
gate the negro school children from
the white children.
Mr.. Rockefeller attended a meeting
of the colored citizens of Douglas on
Thursday evening, at which time the
question was gone over, but no definite
conclusion reached. Before going to
Douglas Mr.. Rockefeller had been in
receipt of several communications
from the negroes there requesting him
to pay Douglas a visit.
At the train last evening the county
school superintendent stated he was
in possession of communication from
some of the negro citizens of Douglas,
protesting against the proposed action
of the Douglas trustees, and thaI he
would forward it to the territorial SUI
perintendent at Phoenix for his de-
cision. Mr.. Rockefeller stated that he
found the negro population divided
upon the question. Some favored the
proposition of having separate schools.
believing it would be better for all
concerned and tend to keep down any
idea OF race prejudice. On the other
hand some of the negroes argue that
after the segregation has been ac-
complishd the negro school children
will not receive the same EDUCATIONAL
advantages as the white children.
Mr.. Rockefeller was assured by the
trustees at Douglas that the best in
terests of the Douglas schools re-
quired that the negro pupils and the
white pupils be segregated and they
also assured him that there should be
no discrimination OF any kind toler-
ated.
Mr.. Rockefeller is of the opinion
that the matter will finally be adjust
ed to the entire satisfaction of all par
ties concerned.

familiar figures in northern Sonora.
were found dead in their camp, hay-
ing been murdered several days pre-
viously, presumably by Yaqui Indians.
Last night the Review received a
letter from Moctezuma in which some
Of the details of the finding of the
bodies, and th~ movements of the
men a few days prior to their death,
are given.
The bodies were found by Mexican
prospectors, and gave evidence of hav-
ing been dead for several days. Coy
otes and buzards had eaten away the
greater part of the flesh, and had torn
the limbs from the bodies.
The two prospectors left Moctezuma
on August goth. They purchased some
supplies from the store of Geo. Wood
ward and stated they were going south
on prospecting trip and would be
gone for several weeks. The men
were last seen alive at Charles Nor
gan's mine at Elsenada. They left
this camp on August 25th, going in a
southwesterly direction and nothing
more was seen or heard from them
until their dead bodies were found on
Thursday.
Every Indication pointed to the
fact that the men had been murdered
while resting in camp. Both bodies
were shot several times. Since the
finding of the bodies it is known that
the men secured some money at Ell
senada and one theory advanced is
that outlaws learned that they had
money in their possession, and killed
them for their money.
Jack O'Leary was native of Maine
and is also well known in Spokane,
Wash. He was an old time railroad
contractor and prospector. John Poe,
his companion, was a native of Texas
