MARK SMITH AT WORLD BANQUET.

On May 10th the New YorK World. one of the greatest newspapers of the country, celebrated its twenty fifth anniversary under the control and direction of Joseph Pulitzer. On the evening of the publication by the World of it's mammoth anniversary humber a banquet was rendered in the World building to the invited guests, including prominent men of New York and other states. Includ- ed in the list of guests were seventy five members of congress and Hon. Marcus A. Smith, delegate to con gross from Arizona, was one of the four selected as the speakers of the evening. Only six speakers were on the stand The New York papers say it was an honor vorthily bestowed upon one of the most popular mem bers of congress. Mark. as usual. ac- quilted himself in good fashion as was evidenced by the enthusiastic ap- plause following his remarks.

REVIEW BsBEE ARIZONA THURSDAY MORNING.

of amalgamation in the South would result in race war of extermination and it is strange that men of the in teIligence of Holt and Willard do not know it.
 If the Cosmopolitan society exhibits much more activity of the kind which rendered its banquet conspicuous. the States of the North will be compelled to enact laws to put a stop to the intermarriage of the whies and blacks Experience shows that in States where such laws have not been enacted these marriages occur, there being a class of weak-ininded women who can not comprehend the enormity of the folly of such unions.
 The fact that Holt and Willard are identified with the Ogden movement for the education of the South admon. ishes the people of the South to be watchful lest the insidious influences of Holtism and villardism be establish ed on Southern soil.

FERRET OUT AUTHOR OF sLANDERous CIRCULAR.

The good people of Bisbee cannot af- ford to allow the matter of ferreting cut the author or authors of that vile circular letter which was circulated in Bisbee on the day preceding the election to drop. Whatever was the motive of that letter, whether it was written and printed because of per sonal hatred of the citizens of Bisbee who were assailed and maligned or whether it was done to defeat George Neale for mayor, it was ibelous and a islander upon prominent citizens of Bisbee. The citizens of Bisbee can not afford to allow sucn underhand and villianous work to go unnoticed, The man or men who are responsible for this contemptible work should be identified at any cost and prosecuted with yigor as a warning to those who might be inclined to drag their slime and filth through the streets of the city during some future political cam
 paign. Bisbee wants clean politics and good government and her people cannot do better than to nip this anonymous libel work in the bud.

SHOULD ENCOURAGE CAPITAL IN ARIZONA.

Arizona needs all of the capital We can get. Industrial corporations should be welcome in our midst. be they big or little Our most prosperous cities would still be a part of the desert and mountains if 1t were not for such cor porations as the United Verde. South ern Pacific, Imperial Copper O., HeL vetia Copper Co.,, Copper Queen, Cal amet & Arizona, Shattuck & Arizona, Old Dominion. Globe Consolidated, De troit Copper Co, Arizona Copper Co.,, and a hundred other such corporations. They are spending millions in tho de- velopment of the natural resources and providing labor for thousands of industrious and contented employees at the best wages paid in the United States. What would Prescott, Jerome. Tucson. Bisbee, Douglas, Globe, Cliff ton, Morenci be without the corpora tions who by gathering together an aggregation of capital have made these enterprises possible. The cor poration harangue in Arizona has worn itself out and the attempt to make this yelp do duty on every occasion when political demagogue goes down to defeat is an insult to the intelligence of the thinking citizens and voters oi the territory.
 The attempt of the politician tc class our industrial corporations h this territory in the same category al Standard oil Trust, the Lumber Trust the Sugar Trust and other national trusts and monopolies in the countYy Is an i'll advised attempt to build uT the selfish interests of the politician seeking office to the detriment of th' best interests of the territory and it industrial advancement.

NOTICE.
NO Gooo REASON FOR ANY KIND OF COMBINATION.

Ehe2e is no good reason for any combination on the part of the big or little counties, having for its purpose the control of the approaching terri tOrial democratic convention which meets in Tucson today. There are thirteen honorary positions to be filled by the convention and there are just thirteen counties in Arizona. The convention will be called upon to elect six delegates and six alternates to the national convention and to en- dorse a democrat for the position of national committeeman to be equal in importance to that of delegate to the national convention, we have seven first places to be filled. In the ab- sence of any contest within the ranks Of the Arizona democracy a simple and equitable manner for the distri- button of these seven positions would be according to the democratic vot, ing strength of each county at the last election. If this rule was adopt ed the following counties would be entitled to either a national commit, teeman or delegate: uochise, Mari, copa, YaVapai Graham, Gila, Pinal and Coconino, a total of seven coun- ties for the seven first positions. The remaining counties, according to their democratic voting strength would be entitled to representation on the Arizona delegation as alter. mates in the following order: Yuma, Santa Cruz, Navajo, Mohave. Pinal Apache. In this manner all of the counties will have been provided for and the representation decided ac cording to the number of democratic voters in each county. In addition tC the delegates and alternates there will be the selection of the chairman of the convention which would bt construed as the greatest honor to bt bestowed upon any county.

The harvest for the sweet girl graduate is now at hand.

Today the Territorial Democratic convention will meet in the city of Tucson for the purpose of selecting the delegates from Arizona to the National Democratic convention at Denver. It is the expectation that the convention will give instructions fer Hon. William Jennings Bryan and pass resolutions acknowledging the excellent work of Hon. Marcus Aure, lius Smith during his long and faith ful service in the halls of congress as the representative of Arizona. Co
 chise county will not be denied the honor of naming one of the delegates to Denver, but as yet definite deter. imitation has not been reached as to who will be the man given the honor.

ARIZONA'S
 OPPORTUNITY.

There is no state or territory more interested in the result, of the confer ence held in Washington by President Roosevelt and his distinguished guests, including the governors of the several states and other men distinguished be- cause of tteir knowledge of the unde. veloped resources of the country, than Arizona. While Arizona pioneers have developed some great mines in the territory and astonished the world by the enormous output of last year, we all know that the development of our agricultural industry has hardly be- gun. It is true that all of the avail able surface water has been taken from the streams, thus making several important valleys productive and beau tiful. but the work of storing the enor- nous amount of flood waters which pass through the territory every year has only been started.
 The Tonto dam will suply the Salt River valley with abundant water with which to irrigate all the IauI under it; when that great government enterprise has been. completed there are others just as important which should be undertaken without delay Every opportunity should be availed to impress upon the irrigation bureau of the government the fact that this territory can show several opportuni- ties as favorable as that at Tonto for the storage of water. Besides the water storage proposition there are other ways of securing water for ir- rigation in Arizona which the govern ment should be urged to assist in. With artesian water in the vicinity of Benson and east and west of the Sul- phur Springs valley, may we not hope that it can be developed in the vicin- ity of Tucson? We believe it will not be hard to induce the government to make experiments along this line and in other arid valleys of the territory Governor Kibbey attended the confer ence in Washington, accompanied by several other able men of the territory, and we feel confident that nothing was overlooked which will direct attention to the great opportunities in this :air and sunny land for the development oi great wealth in the future.

THE ADVOCATES OF REORGANIZATION.

The Northern press greatly dep-e- cates the banquet of the Cosmopolitan society of Greater New York, but dep- reeation is not apt to neutralize the evil effects of such an exhibition of fanaticism. To witness a gathering of whites of alleged responsibility with negroes around a banquet table. cheer ing speakers who advocate the inter marriage of the races, is matter of grave concern to the American people and if this society prospers in its work the time may come when the rnegro problem will present far greater difficulties than are now apparent. Especially was it discouraging to note the presence at sucd 2 gathering of Mir. Holt of the Independent and Willard of the New York Evening Post. These men are supposed to stand for the higher civilization, and yet they countenance a movement that strikes at the very taproot of Concession civil ization. How long could American institutions survive a process of mon grelization? Yet Mir. Holt believes that such a condition is inevitable.
 Conditions" he said, "are going to get worse in the South before they get better When the colored people get educated the whites in the South will have to recognize them as their equals. GA great outburst of applause and hand-clapping greeted this state ment.) What must the remedy be? To let things remain as they are is unsatisfactory; deportation is impos- sible; then it\must be amalgamation and education. InteEmarriage, if con tinued long enough, would solve this |
 race problem. (Tbe applause that this received was not stopped for several minutes j." .. If we understand this doctrine. it is that Mir. Holt breaches amalgama- ton, especially for the South, showing how little he knows of the real condl- tions in the section of the country where the negroes are most numerous. Mir. Willard declared that "the spirit of caste is the most dangerous spirit that can threaten any land, particularly a democratic form of government" we stand in this country" he declared flor equality of rights, liberties and to do as we see ft" In other words he would break down the Southern statutes which denounce miscegena tion and encourage a general mixture of the races.

THE RUFF
 TRIAL FiASCO.

ntNL FfSSNOs
 The result of the trial of Abe Ruef on one of the many indictments against him for bribery resulted in a hung jury-six votes for conviction and six votes for sacquittal. The yer dict cannot be considered in any oth- CT light than a miscarriage of jus tice. That Ruef is guilty of bribing the San Francisco supervisors has already been admitted and supervis. ors have testified that they received money from Ruef to vote for certain franchises, but the indications now are that the prosecution is up against it and it is not likely that Ruef will be convicted on any indictment. In the trial of the San Francisco graft CTS the '.big stick" grandstand poli- cies have been too much in evidence. MT. Heney has done his full share of talking and threatening. He has been wont to try his cases in the news papers and on the stump, as well as in the courtroom, and the defense has been quick to see their opportun- tics. Abe Ruef will soon face anoth- CT jury on another indictment but he strongest case has been tried and resulted in a failure, and it is very probable that after all the grafters
 %ill finally make good their escape.

WHAT WILL THE COUNTRY
 DO FOR TABASCO SAUCE?

Chicago, September 15.-A bill was filed in the superior court in this city today asking that a receiver be appointed for property in Illinois of the F. McIlhenny Canning and Manufacturing company a $10,000,00O corporation engaged in the man. ufacture of tabasco sauce and in the oyster trade. The bill was brought by William c. Titcomb, f4tmer western man ager for the company fs charges that the company is insolvent and that It owes him s29o00 for salary and other accounts The declaration in the case sets forth that the company has not for some time paid and is not able to pay the interest on the indebtedness of S690 = 900 which is secured by s1,OOO,OOO five per cent bonds. The complainant claims that on July 1, 19O5, he signed a contract with tn company to act as it's manager for five years at salary of $500 a month: that on July 30 1908, Edward McIlhenny. president of the company, asked him to sign new contract which he re- fused to do, whereupon he was dis-

charged; that on June l, 1908, through George w. Young, of New York, it's fiscal agent, the company borrowed sSo0,- 900, and that it's total indebtedness amounts to twice that sum- Another claim of the declaration is that the com pany has not compiled with the Illinois statute governing foreign corporations having never filed it's papers with the secretary of state Besides a receiver ;for the property Of the company in this state, restraining order is asked to prevent the removal of goods said to be stored in Chicago. The goods, &C., cording to Titcomb, consist of oysters and tabasco sauce in warehouses, valued at more than $1O0,Oo0. The oysters, how ever, Titcomb alleges, are unfit for the market and are practically valueless.
 The company is incorporated under the laws of Maine and Louisiana. Its head quarters are in New York, New Orleans and Chicago. It Is declared In the bill for a receiver that the real headquarters until January 1, 1908, was on Avery Island in the Gulf of Mexico, and that the island is one of the chief assets of the company.

FAILS IN ATTEMPT
 TO KILL HIMSELF

Columbus, Miss, September 15.-(Spec- ia.D-Judson Morgan, about 30 years old son of the late J. D. Morgan. disappeared from his home in North Columbus yester- day evening about o'clock. Morgan has been in ill health many years and is under the constant watch of a negro male attendant. His opportunity to get away came yesterday. however, and search was instituted at once because be has fre- quently intimated his desire to take his life. He was not found in the after noon and last night the roads and country around Columbus failed to show his hid ing place. This afternoon at 1 o'clock he was spied coming toward his home with his throat badly cut. He had buried several valuables, including his watch and a little money, and then slashed his throat with a pocketsnife. He broke the blade trying to kill himself and after suffering some time decided to return home. He was taken to the Co., lumbus hospital and pr. Davis says his wounds will not prove fatal.
