THE MOST IMPORTANT THING.
 Hon. Marcus A. Smith in his speeches in the northern part of the territory has been engaging in com parisons of his long service in con- gress with the legislative ineXpe- rience of Mir. Cameron and he has frequently declared that if there was ever a time for an elder statesman" from Arizona it is now. Mir. Cam eron. he has asserted, would not be able to draft a statehood bill.
 As to the first proposition, if men without experience were kept waiting on those who have had long legisla- tive. xperience-waiting until they die or until they voluntarily retire from office, there would soon be a lack of new blood in congress, which would ultimately become distinguished only for senility. Every election sends there scores of men who have never had legislative experience but who are believed by majority of their constituents to have better leg islative timber in them than the expe- rienced men whom they succeed.
 As to Mir. Cameron's ability to draft a statehood bill, it may be said that of the thousands of bills presented at every session, a com paratively small number are drawn by the congressman who present them. and no important bill is ever passed in the form in which it is presented.
 If a bill is defective on it's pre- sentation. a committee to which it is referred looks after the defects and otherwise remodels it to meet the views of a majority of the commit tee. There will be no trouble in drafting a statehood bill whoever may be the delegate.
 The main thing after all is not to draft a statehood bill It is far more essential to induce a majority of congressman to pass it. We believe MT Cameron can beat MT. Smith at that game.

families have not been heard from all though they are thought to have reached safety. The body of man named Whetmore was found at the road side near Luffenholtz with all the clothing burned away.
 At 9 o'clock tonight men returned from the headquarters at Samoa, and reported that the fire was gaining headway every minute. Small forest fires are raging all around this city, al- though no danger is imminent. A ces- sation of the wind or heavy rain is all that will save this county from great loss from the fires now raging.
 Large crews of men are fighting the flames during the day time but the work is too dangerous to permit much being done during the night

Reports now and then of labor or ganizations that have declared for Bryan should not excite public alarm. In the first place, these declarations are by no means binding on the in dividual voter. Then, too, such ac- tion has been taken by a pitiful few of such organizations.
