There isone argument that the dem
ocratic party cannot refute, and that
is this fact that the farmers of Berk-
eley county are paying less taxes than
they were four years ago. No one
knows this better than the farmer
himself, and no one is more familiar
with the fact that this condition was
brought about by the republican party
Democratic spell-binders predicted
that if the republicans enacted into
law their contentious about tax re-
form that taxes would be increased
instead OF decreased. The false hood
of these predictions has long since
been exploded, for tax reform is now
a reality and not an issue. The re-
publican party promisd low taxes and
their promise was made good. 1t
does seem that every farmer who has
been benefited by these tax laws
should show his appreciation by vo-
ting the republican ticket. If the dem
ocratic party gets into power in this
state it prpomises to repeal these
laws, and there is no doubt but what
it viii keep its promise. If the farm
ers are interested in low taxes you
had better vote to sustain these laws
or you might realize the fact hat the
democratic party has been successful
at the polls and then you viii be face
to face with the repeal Of the tax
laws which have saved you quite a
sum of money. If you are wise you

The n great issue OF this cam
paign is the tariff. The republican
party believes in the revision Of the
tariff, that is, certain articles should
be raised and other articles should
be lowered, but on the whole the tar
if win not be effected so as to bring
in any less revenue. The democra-
tic party believes in tariff for eyenue
only, which if put into effect would
paralize the business industries of
this country just as it did in 1894.
The republican party believes in pro
lection to American industries so that
the working man can have employ
ment at remunerative wages the dem
ocratic party believes in buying i'm
ported articles made by foreign work
men in a foreign country 1t does not
take five minutes for an unprejudiced
man to see that the republican policy
is best for this country. Let us keep
in power the party that protects Amer
lean labor against the forign markets

Every republican in the county must
not lose sight of the fact that it is
your duty to vote. Not a single re-
publican should stay at home on cleo
tion day. If republican policies are to
continue in force the republican ticket
must be successful on the 3rd of next
month. And every stay at home re-
publican means a one-half vote for
the democratic party. So important
is it that the present administration
that not a single republican voter
that not a Jingle republican voter
should remain at home on election
day. If President R~oosevelt's admin
istration should be r~epudiated at the
polls it would mean a set back for
every great industry of this country
from which we would not recover for
years. Therefore, it is highly important
that every republican should vote in
order to make sure of a republican
victory. ANA if each voter fully real
izes the duty devolves upon him vic
tory is already assured.

WHO IS GUILTY3s

To the Editor of The Republican:
 My attention has been called to the Prohibition ticket in the Arizona Re publican of the 3rd inst. containing my name as a candidate for prosecuting attorney. I wish to say that I have no idea who or by what right, any one assumed such a privilege. Nothing of the kind was ever mentioned to me, and, had it been, would have prompt ly refused. When a political party be- comes so hard up for material that it must make its nominations in the dark it shows a weakness that is not wor- thy of the name of party. I wish to say further that have no political aspira- tions, and, being a stranger, I have no particular interest in politics here eX- cept to do what I can to elect Ralph Cameron, for I see in his election sure statehood for Arizona, and if the party who assumed the privilege of putting my name /on the Prohibition ticket without my knowledge or con sent, or even knowing my party affili- ations will be kind enough to erase the same he will receive all the thanks due to one committing such an act with @ stranger.

The tai Tor gown. if at all elaborate or intend ed for formal visiting, is often com pleted by a coat in the Directoire style, but the skirt that accompanies this, although of the new shape, does not mould the figure as does the sheath skirt used for the new evening dresses that have just been imported from Paris.

There will be a head waiter to usher guests to the tables, and a floor manager, whose business it will be to see that every possible attention and the very best service is given the patrons There will be, aside from the many regular tables in the main dining room twelve private boxes and also one large private room capable of accommodate ing twenty-five guests which can be engaged for private banquets and after rtheater dinner partics.
 On the opening night there will be an orchestra of five pieces. The or chestra will also be in attendance on all show nights, as the management will make a speciality of catering to the after-theater patrons. The menu will consist of many delicacies hereto fore UnObtainable in the town, includ- ing such dishes as Holsters a la New berg, deviled crabs, welsh rarebits, shell oysters, live fish, etc, and the prices will be as reasonable as in any other city where such dishes can be had. In fact, MT. Macris assures the public that no expense has been spared in furnishing equipment and service to make the Crystal Cafe the pride of Phoenix, and he earnestly solicits it's patronage.

ELKS IHEATER OPENING
 NEXT THURSDAY NIGHT
WITH LITTLE JOHNNY JONES'
 AND FIFTY PEOPLE.

On Thursday the Elks will give to the public of Phoenix a thoater- that is really worthy of this town. The town will have a play house that all can well be proud of. The color scheme and the improvements have been careful study, and nothing has been over looked, either front or back, for the comfort of both the patrons and the players. In the choice of the first play there has been a most wise selec- ton, as it is not only full of very funny lines and laughs. but abounds in songs and dances that are popular all over the country, and the cast contains fifty people-a fitting picture to put into our new frame.
 Much interest is being manifested by the theater- going public of this city over the approaching engagement Thursday night of last seasons biggest musical hit, Little Johnny Jones" For year past Yankee Doodle Dan dy," Give My Regards to Broadway" and other musical gems from Little Johnny Jones" have been sung, whis- tied and played on the piano and by Orchestras all over the country. There fore to a large degree the music of the production is familiar to most of our theater- goers. No musical play has been presented in many seasons that has attained such an enormous degree of popularity as was attested last sea son by its phenomenal run of almost an entire season in New York, over three months in Chicago. four weeks in Philadelphia and several weeks in Boston.
 Little Johnny Jones" was written by George NJ. Conan, who also com posed all the music and has given the present production the benefit of his personal stage management. Mir Conan is a prolific writer, only twen- ty-seven years of age, yet is the au- thor and composer of those three very successful musical plays Forty Five Minutes From Broadway" "The Gov ernor's Son" and Running for Of flee" in addition to a large number of vaudeville sketches and a formidable list of songs. Little Johnny Jones" will be seen in this city with the same mammoth and complete production which characterized it's engagement in the principal cities last season. The
 
 be among the most beautiful and ex- tensive in America, the three acts be- ing gorgeOusly set to represent the exterior of the Hotel Cecil in London, the steamship pier at Southampton and a street scene in the Chinese quarters of San Francisco, while the ensemble wardrobe includes eleven complete changes the whole represent ing an investment of many thousands of dollars. The company is one of the largest travelling, including fifty peo- pie and a cast of principals embracing the names of many stage nOtables. As Little Johnny Jones" is undoubtedly the most famous attraction that will visit this city this season it goes with out saying that the theater will be crowded on this occasion.

Under present conditions the fall
ure or, partial failure of the wheat
crop in Washington means much loss,
not only to this state, but to- the en-
tire Pacific coast, because there is
nothing to fall back upon in the Sec
tions now devoted to wheat exclu-
sively. This can only be avoided by
the dlversification Of crops. and IL,
through the continuous cultivation of
the soil, which now remains idle un-
der the practice of summer fallow, it
could only be made to yield a small
return Of $40 an acre, 1t would add
enormously to the wealth of this
state.
"This is just the beginning of an
active campaign, which will be Wig
orously followed up by the traffic de-
partment Of the o. r. & n. and the
Washington State college, and It is
thought that as the value of the pro-
ducts from the soil increase so will
the value Of the land. This will
eventually have a tendency to break
up our large wheat farms into smallI
er ones, where, Instead of having one
family on a farm Of 500 to 700 acres
there will probably be seven families,
and as the population of the farming
country increases so will the popula-
tion of Spokane increase as well as
the surrounding small country towns,
which look to Spokane for their sup
plies"
