DOUGLAS CONTRIBUTION
SHOULD BE LIBERAL.

There is a shortage of funds neces-
sary TO properly install and care for
the mining exhibit which has been
gathered in Cochise county and So
nora for the national irrigation con-
gress at Albuquerque during the
week beginning September 30. A
magnificent collection of minerals
has been collected and is now on
the way to Albuquerque. 1t is stated
that the mining meu in Sonora have
in addition to deyoting their time TO
gathering up ore samples from their
several properties, contributed 5000
In cash to defray the expense of
caring for the exhibit at the congress.
There have been some contributions
made by the business men and prop
erty owners of Douglas, but there are
many others who should now come
forward and see that what funds are
necessary for properly displaying and
advertising the display at Albuquer.
que is forthcoming The chamber OF
commerce and mines have been ac
tive in this matter, but this organiza.
ton is not in a condition to meet ali
the required expense.
We regard this exhibit as a very
important matter to Douglas and the
mining country tributary 10 it; the
people of the city could well afford
to drop lesser matters for a short
space of time and turn their atten
ton to the matter of availing them
selves of a golden opportunity TO,
bringing the mining industry in Co
eAise county and Sonora into promin
enee at the irrigation congress.
Douglas has never yet failed to come
through in all matters giving promise
of benefit to the city and this is /;
time of adj others when there SHOULD
be quick action in raising the remain
ing funds necessary for the success
of the mining exhibit

If sending a republican DELICATE to
congress will get Arizona statehood,
why is it that New Mexico with all it's
republican delegates has not been ad-
mitted? CamerOn's promise is an
empty one. Just look at the record
and see if it isn't. Cameron could not
be expected to accomplish anything
but could do a great deal of harm, es-
pecially if a joint state bill was intro
duced. New Mexico's republican del
egate was pulled into line, but Ari-
iona, only for the reason that it had
a democrat in congress, escaped the
unholy union.

Hon. Eugene Brady O'Neil address
ed a large audience at Mesa City
one night last week, the occasion be-
ing a regular meeting of the Mesa
democratic club. Mr.. O'Neil took the
republicans to task because Of the
conditions which had grown up in
this country under the misruIe of the
republican party; he showed how a
few trust magnates had absorbed
practically all the wealth of the coun-
tries under the protecting favor of
republican policies. He .urcel The
democrats OF Maricopa county to
stand by Mark Smith the worthy
standard-bearer Of the democratic
party in this territory, and who had
served the people faithfully and well
for so many years.
Bisbee daily review., 1908-09-23

There seems to be lack of agree
ment among the republican papers OF
the territory as to what the campaign
issue is in this territory The repub-
lican papers in this section of the ter
ritory are proclaiming the fact daily
that the election of Cameron to con-
gress will insure the admission of Ari-
IONA as a state. The Arizona Repub-
lican is bold in the declaration that
there is no politics involved in the
Arizona congressional election in this
territory. The Republican is inclined
to rely more on the promises of the
republican party in regard to state
hood than the tenderfoot editors of
Cochise county. Another discrepancy
may be found in the declarations here
that the greatest enthusiasm prevails
throughout the territory for Cameron,
while the Phoenix Gazette declares
that for three weeks it has been trying
to cause the formation of Cameron
club in Phoenix or some other work
ing republican organization in the
capital without success. And in the
meantime reports Of disappointment
in receiving that bunch of mazuma
from the republican national commit
tee has caused general gloom in the
republican camps.

THE FIGHT is ON.

THE FIGHT is on
MIR. Bryan is struggling to separate
himself from his record" says MI.
Taft. "Mr. Taft is lodging" says Mr..
Bryan. "Nr. Bryan presents a re-
markable spectacle" says Mr.. Taft
Mr.. Taft knows as little abour my
record as he does about the public
questions which he has attempted to
discuss" says Mr.. Bryan. What a
colossal failure he would have
made!" exclaimed Mr.. TAFT. Taft
made mistake OF Sl14.O00.0eO in his
estimate Of the cost of imperialism"
exclalms Mr.. Bryan. 1.-The chief con-
sideration which mas affected his Sc
lection of an issue has been its risusi-
bility in attracting votes" savss Ar.

issues; he will not be permitted to
run away from them,s saws Mr. Eryau
A very good start. indeed. toward
brisk campaign. although the start is
a little late. There is reason to hope.
now, that the country will have a lit
tie excitement in the interchange Of
compliments and brickbats, says the
Washington Post. Several days ago
every one was complaining of the
apathy of the voters, east. and west.
1t was only a natural apathy, after all.
The voters are the audlence-they are
not the gladiators. But just as soon
as Mr.. Taft rises and smites Mr.,
Bryan, and receives in return a Jolt
that shakes his rotundity, the apathy
of the voters will disappear. 1t is
human nature to take sides. Some of
the voters will begin to see great
fighting qualities in the Nebraska
Whirlwind. Others will perceive that
the Ohio Mastodon does wonderful
footwork for heavyweight. Enthusi-
asm viii rise as the combantants Skin
mish toward clinch. 1t win be at
fever heat when they begin the de-
livery of real short-arm punches.
These fighters have it in them to
give an exhibition that will be memoir
able-but it must be in earnest, not
for the gate receipts. There must be
enough personal interest and feeling
behind each punch to give it zest and
favor Perhaps it was just as well
to open the campaign cautiously and
with every show II distinguished CON
sideration. Soon. however. the bow
ing and scraping must give way to the
real business of the hour, or an eager
populaee will be badly disappointed.
The world loves a good fighter, and is
only too glad to cheer him on.
There is no danger that the forth
coming scrap will degenerate into a
rough-and-tumble brawl. The con-
testants are not so new at the game as
to abandon science for brute force
They are skillful, trained men-pro-
fessionals, one might say. There will
be headwork in this contest, as well
as lively sparring and maneuvering
for position. The man who uses his
wits, as we'll as his good right arm,
is the man who will find favor with
the crowd. The audience is not made
up of toughs or wide-mouthed yokels.
1t is well up in the sport, and is
watching the two big fellows" with
critical eye. 1t wants plenty Of &C
ton, but it wants everything done on
the square.

The Phoenix Gazette has been
bowling for a Cameron club in the
capital city ever since this wonder
from the north was named as the re-
publican candidate for congress. So
far the Cameron club has not been
forthcoming in Phoenix, which shows
that the people on the banks of the
Rio Salado are not without self
respect

THE OBJECT PRIMARY

The tendency of the times IS forward
as never before in the woTtl's his
tory. The tendency of the lines in
the government of this great repuD
lie is to take that government right
back to the people with wnoln it had
its inception. No greater reform has
been inaugurated in the pas twenty
years than that Of the direct rrimsrs
which is now fully operative in Gala
homa, Oregon, Iowa. Illinois. Wash
ington, Montana. Nevada ana the
Dakotas, and in practically eyers cus
of the southern states. The direct
primary practically solves the qnes-
ton of the election of UnitssSs states
senators by the people. 1t has made
possible the rehabilitation OF the be.
publican party in such states as
Oregon. Washington and the Dakotas
4
where for years representation in the
United States senate has meant 1T
tie more than Washington agents for
predatory corporations, which have
used those, states as mere POCKET
burroughs for the advancement Of
their own selfish purposes at the
sacrifice of the rights of the people
If any hope remains for the Repubi-
lican party it is because leaders have
arisen in recent years who have
realized that knowledge had so
spread among the masses that the
great day of political reckoning was
at hand. and that it behooved any
party which hoped for a continuation
of its lease of power to arise ana
meet the viii of the people.
1t was the direct primary which
unseated the reactioRary Ankenny in
Washington, the cIouded Fulton in
Oregon and the corporation agent
Kittredge, in South Dakota 1t was
the direct primary which allowed the
people of Oregon 10 reward faithful
Democratic Governor Chamberlain by
eleyating him to the United States
senate in the face of five-sixth Re
publican majority in the next Oregon
legislature.
The direct primary places the nom
nation of all candidates directly in
the hands of the people. 1t practical
ly eliminates manipulation by politi-
cal bosses and assures merit alone
as the qualification on which man
may successfully appeal to the people
for the privilege of serving them in
a public capacity.
In those states where the direct
primary law has been tried there is
absolutely no thought of returning to
the old system of party convention
nominations. Conventions will, in
the future. he mere state electoral col
leges, as,it were for registering the
will of the people.
For any party to place itself on
record as opposed TO this great for
ward movement, is to oppose the
will of the people and court the OBJ
livion to which such a short sighted
party is always consigned. The PEG,
pie are utterly weary of being used
as tools for the benefit of selfish in
terests. A genuine revival of Ameri-
canism is in progress-and real
Amerieanism in a nutshell means
the direct rule of the people. The
Democracy of Arizona cannot afford
| to face the overwhelming demand of
the times. The Democracy of Co
chise county cannot afford to trail in
the wake of the reactionaries. Rather
Ilet the Democracy of the banner
Democratic county take the lead in
this matter. and at the coming coun-
lty convention place itself on record
for the direct primary in no uncertain
manner.

STR ONO SPE Oh
IS MADE HER
NATIVE LADY
OF This City is Dead at Her
Home in Greencastle,
Indiana.


The Greencastle. Ind. Banner,
gives the following sketch of a for
mer Clarksburg lady, who died in
that city last Saturday:
Caroline Hursey. wife of the late
Alexander Martin. for fourteen years
president of the DePauw University.
was born February Fl. 1891. at
Clarisburg. Virginia. She was marri-
ed to Alexander Martin June .. 1888.
She was of Quaker ancestry. which
was manifest in her temperament ia
all life She was very quiet in dis
position, claiming that her first du-
ties were to her family. While she
carefully avoided anythin glike pub
lfcfty In her work. she was very val
friends. For many years she was a
teacher in the Locust street Sunday
school, aud for a long period served
as treasurer of the Woman's Foreign
Missionary Society of her church.
Her modest reserve never allowed her
voice to be heard in public services,
still she was a constant member upon
the means of grace Ind her pastor
and all church people always thought
that her presence and quiet assistance
were of very great value
During the time President Martin
was in charge of the university Mrs.
Martin was a most valuable help
his administration the customs of the
times led many students. on arriving
in Greencastle, to go directly to the
home of the president. Mrs. Martin
always gave them a very kind wei
come. and many times extended to
them hospitalfties over night and at
her table until they were comfortably
settled in their boarding places
Members of the faculty and students
always felt that they were heartily
welcome to the presidents house.
and the receptions rendered the senior
class and other students of the unver-
Rity were occasions cherished with
the most grateful remembrance. The
large number of graduates who went
out from the university during the
long period OF President Martins adj
ministratIon and his subsequent SER
vice as professor of philosophy will
remember Mrs. Martin with great es-
TEEN.
In a very especial sense it can be
said of her that her children rise
up to call her blessed" Her devo-
ito nto her family was wise and
beautiful and bore precious fruit in
the noble characters for which all Of
her children were distinguished.
Mrs. Martin has two brothers ltv-
ing: John A, Hursey. Clarksburg. w
Va. and Lloyd Hursey, Shinnston. w
Va. Also a sister Mrs. Hattie H.
Brown. Vanatta, o. Her children are
Professor James V, and the late
Judge John z. Martin. and Mrs. Anna
Whitfield These have preceded her to
the immortal life. Her surviving
children are. Mr.. Charles a. Martin,
OF GrcencastIe, and Edward l.. Mar
tin. of Cincinnati. o.

hess of dry powder in distinguishing

interested the members of the fire
department, city officials and the
large crowd OF property owners who
witnessed the same but deeply tr1-
pressed them with the necessity OF
having these dry powder tubes on
hand for the protection of their
homes
df. Miles took q large sized store
box: filled with split wood and. then
poured one gallon of coal tar on the
pile. He allowed 1t to burn about
ave minutes. and. when the flames
were shoptfng up in the air twenty
feet, he distinguished the fire'wtth one
tube in three seconds.
The powder Is contained in a tube
20 inches long and Q inches in
diameter. It sells for 50 piece or
$50 per dozen. The fire chief add
city omciols expressed tueAiss4NSS 80

mend that every private home in the
city have few of the tubes.

Smoke.

CHARLESTON. Oct. 22-News has
reached here of the destruction by
flre of the mammoth plant of the Rit-
ter Lumber Company, on the Norfolk

near Aven. The entire plant, with
thousands of dollars worth of dry
lumber went up in the flames, and
the total loss to the mill company is
over $4,000.
Several loaded cars OF lumber be-
longing to the railroad company were
burned, ehtailing big loss. The
origin of the hre remains mystery.
