lie life Rooscvelt. more than any oth CT man in the nation, understands the great throbbing heart of the American people He has studied their interests, been true Co their interests, and is big enough and broad enough to give praise 10 the opposition where praise
 is due. and SD he has not withheld it from The idol of the great mass of the democratic party, Bryan of Nebraska.
 IL is bccause President Roosevelt so well understands the people that he has for the past two years given his sup port Co Secretary Taft as his successor in the White House. If the heart of the American people is throbbing for something higher and better in the ma tional life, the heart of Roosevelt has beat in sympathy. He above all others understands the position, the patriot ism, the lofty ideals of the graat big, boyish secretary of war. Roosevelt knows that with Taft in the presiden' ,ial chair the country will take no backward step. The regime of busi' nes honesty he has ushered in will not be s,rayed from with Taft at the helm of state. On the other hand Roosevelt understands that if by any chance the republican party should listen to the voice of the plutoeratic siren at Chica' 20, sacrifice Taft and nominate re. 'aetionary for the presidency, then Bry' an as the democratic nominee would appeal 10 millions of voters who gave their support to Roosevelt before, who are eager to vote for Taft in Novcm. Der. It is the only hope of victory for the democracy. To nominate so. called conservative democrat like Par. ker or Gray, or even man like Gov etnor Johnson of Minnesota who has listened 10 the voice of the plutoerats and turned against Bryan who was his idol before, is 10 invite a defeat not even second in its overwhelming hu. initiation 10 tnat which overlook Par. ker in 1904.
 wi,n Bryan the democratic nominee the democrats will in all probability carry the -o.callcd solid south with largely reduced majorities. redeem Missouri which for the first time in its history wen, republican for Roosevelt. and carry the new state of Oklahoma, where Bryan is popular idol. l, is certain Johnson could do no more, and almos, a, certain that Bryan'r personal following in both those states would knife Johnson, as they did "that pure patriot" Parker four years ago.

BRYAN's POPULARITY.

There is q grea, diversity of opin. ion among ,be politicians of the far east as 10 the strength of William Jennings Btyan AS . presidential can. didaie. The independen, democratic New York Sun, one of the ablest edited newspapers in the world, and the New York World, which has for many years prior 10 the meeting of democratic na' tional conventions assumed 10 dictate 10 the party what it should do and what it should not do, are bitterly re- wiling the Nebraskan as q party wreea' CT, solely dominated by selfish inter, ests, out of touch with the public pulse
 and whose nomination means a worse defeat than that which humiliated the Worlds prize candidate, Judge Alton B. Parker. in 1904. On the otner hand we have the authority of Walter We'll man, than whom there is none higher and more reliable in this country, so far as presidential views are concerned that President Roosevelt is of the opin
 ion that Bryan is by far the stronges, man that the democrats can nominate The controversy is interesting mere Iy as a political incident, for with Taf, the nominee of the republican party his election is as certain as anything eap be which has not already beea ac' -eomplished. The Sun and World, pow crful newspapers in the great mertopo lis, are unquestionably inspired in their opposition by the great financial element of the democratic party domi mated by Thomas F.

They have no. been worried by statesments that the last annual report was not up to ex. peetations, as they knew the company mad done we'll in the face of low cop. per market and unfavorable labor con. ditions. For several months the mines ran with very small number of men. the strike at Bisbee having interfered with the output of all the pfopertiss in the camp The company also was liberal in it's expenditures at the smel,. CT plant, having made additions of i'm. portance which cost lot of money. There was a genssal improvement at all points on surface, so that the mines are now splendidly equipped for many years, the growth having been antici. pated in making the recent changes.
 The new stack at the smelter will be kept busy, and win be ready in about sixty days. Calumet ( Arizona will be in the dividend paying column for ma. ny years 10 come. Besides its Hope and Wagner claims in the Bisbee camp, which are as yet untouched, it has con. siderable territory about its producing shafts that win be brought in as de. manded. lt is also developing several outside properties from which it ex. poets good results.

Population I85,000 And Taxable Property Now
 S77.0OO.OOO
(From Tuesdays Daily)

According 70 the annual report of th. secretary of the interior. recently pub. lished, conditions in Arizona are stead. fly improving. There has been a grad. ual increase in population, which is now estimated at ls5,Oo0. Tae 6nan. eial condition is better than ever be- fore. The taxable property has in. creased in the last three years from *45,ooo,ooo to s77,Ooo,O0o, and the rate of taxation has decreased. There is no difficulty in more than caring for the current expenses of the territory and the retirement of it's bonded indebted. ness.
 The organization and use of the rang. CTS have been most satisfactory in the enforcement of law and order.
 The annual school census taken in May of last year, gave 33,l67 as the number of children of school age (six to twenty'one years) in the territory. The total number of children enrolled in the schools was 25,370. This appar. ently would indicate that nearly 5000 children fail to attend school; but it is explained that most pupils finish school at about the age of IS, although they are enumerated in the school census until they are twenty Practically dions. There were 293. school districts, employing 626 teachers; l0s men and ols women. The average monthly sal. iary paid men teachers was $93. 30; for women it was $7l.Os.
 Not only is the mining wealth devel. oping very rapidly, but the agricultur. al possibilities have been enormously increased by the development of irri. gation projects and the experiments in dry farming.

Their Tuscumbia Mine Promises Big Returns

Chairman Smith, of the board of su- pervisors, and Chief of Police Prince have returned from n visit of insp"' ton to the old Tuscumbia mine, owned jointly by Assessor Frank Williams ant MT. Prince, and in which Mr. Smith will interest himself.
 The property was first located 8" worked many years ago, when tnc price of silver made the mining of ttat metal we'll worth while. After the To- ca,ors ceased working the mine it was never relocated by anyone, miners in general familiar with ,he property he. ing under the impression it was a pat ented claim. Some eight years ago, however, Messrs. Williams and Prince, in looking over the records, discovered the property was open for location, and immediately filed upon it. Since then some 2,O00 feet of development work has been done on the property, which is a silver proposition, picked samples running as high as 6l4 ounces to the ton. In the lower tunnels of the property gold values are also found
 The location of the ground makes I: especially easy to be worked by tunnel. IL is now planned 10 run $50 feet ci new tunnel, which portion of the work Mr. Smith will finance, after which ht will become an equal owner in lac property with Prince and Williams.

When the Chinese recently, ,L <Asis own waters, seized Japanese merchant snip on a charge that she Was loaded with arms and ammunition 3ss Chinese rebels, the action of Japan Was prompt and threatening, and tho CAinese authorities, under naval men. ,se, were required to pay for the muni.
