conceived them intended for the hui
initiation Of a PROSTATE foe. I allude
to the 18th amendment to the consti-

This amendment was passed and
made part of the law Of this land in
time Of peace without the consent

A time came In the conduct of this
league or partnership when there
arose great friction between these
partners, and believing that that well
fare for which they had banded them
selves together was not only seriously
imperilled but about to be DESTROYED,
on account Of the attitude of some Of
the partners towards form of prop
erty that has been fully recognized
by the law at the time of the partner
ship, the Southern States, believing
that the constantly growing feeling
towards this form Of property would
prevent their longer remaining in the
partnership on terms of amity, there
fore announced their decision to with
draw from the same.
Being free, independent and sover-
elgn States, and acting upon the time
honored principle that compact vio-
lated by one Of the parties thereto
releases the other party from further
obligations Hereunder, the Southern
States entertained no doubt Of their
right to do this. This they proposed
to do peacefully, not questioning the
right Of the other States to set up
such government as they saw fit. Then
it was that despite the entreaty Of
Horace Greedy and fair minded men
of his type who said, LET the erring
sisters depart in peace" the majority
raised the cry "The union must and
shall be preserved" and determined
by force to coerce sovereign States to
maintain partnership, the terms and
spirit of which they themselves had
determined to change, and in many
instances, had changed. The issues
thus raised became casus belli, with
result we all know.
There was nothing left for the
South to do but to accept the gage
of battle thus thrown down. Having
agreed to settle the question by arbit-
rament Of the sword, like brave men
they accepted in good faith the result,

South, coupled with the restiveness
under these conditions of small con-
tingent Of resident white Republicans,
has already provoked considerable dis
cussion; and would seem to render
timely an examination from a South
ern viewpoint, of the justification for
these conditions, as we'll as the ad-
visibility of any change from the
South S forty-year policy Of solidar-
ity.
1t is not proposed to discuss either
the wisdom or unwisdom Of our fol-
lowing blindly and solidly the Demo
cratic or any other political party,
whose course may be shifted and
changed by changing political poll
cies. That is an entirely different
matter, as we might easily shift our
solid political support to any party
that would offer us the hope Of deliv-
erance from the body of that death
to which we are yoked.
The solidarity Of the South, how
ever, is not to be classed as merely
political policy, it is rather a matter
of sacred sentiment and principle,
coupled with necessity so stern that
to abandon it would be as if some
shipwrecked mariner in storm
tossed sea should soberly contem-
plate the abandonment of a floating
spar that carried with it the only
hope Of life and salvation. The wild
horses on the pampas Of South Amer
lea when attacked by the wolves, i'm
mediately form circle, putting their
heads in the centre and presenting a
solid phalanx of heels to their enc
mics. It is an instinct older than
human nature that common danger
makes a common cause, and compels
united action.
In order to get a clear idea of the
existing situation and it's raison
d'etre, let us take a rapid cursory
survey of past events leading up to
and formative of present conditions.
This may also be Of advantage for
the younger generation, lest haply
they might forget, or not fully ap-
preciate the underlying principles.
Stripped of voluminous historical
detail, the naked salient facts are
substantially as follows:
The colonists who settled this coun-
try founded thirteen independent SOW
ereign States, who built their politi-
cal institutions upon the cornerstone
Of the "consent Of the governed" as
the only warrant in law or morals for
any authority that should ever COM
mand their allegiance. When George
III violated this political princi-
pie by taxing them without their con-
sent, they invoked the mighty weapon
Of solidarity in a righteous cause and
made war upon him, and emerged
from the struggle bearing upon their
victorious standards this principle of
the "consent of the governed rem
dered. doubly sacred by baptism in
the blood of the brave. Having thus
realized the value Of solidarity when

HARD LUCK STORY
 FROM REAL LIFE
Elmer Lewis, Native American in
 Mercantile Business at Sacaton.

Elmer Lewis, a native American who conducts a store immediately west of Sacaton is playing in exceptionally hard luck.
 Two weeks ago Lewis came to town suffering with an advance case of blood poisoning and the doctor immediately put him on diet consisting of dry air and sunshine. Lewis tired of this and craved something that could be felt on the inside of his stomach but the doctor was firm and the sufferer has nearly recovered.
 Last Monday night some one entered his store by cutting a hole in the screen and took about two hundred dollars in money. The thieves wore number shoes and walked out of the country before Lrw.s could get an officer on their trail. He has his mind made up that there were some Pina Indian boys who knew where he kept his mony and that he left it il the store at night. He has offered the Indians $10 reward if they will give him any information as to the whereabouts of his money and they are doing a good deal of figuring but so far nothing has been heard of the missing money or the man that accompanied it.

has always been to specialize and carry few lines and handle only the best grade of goods.
 The Toggery for Men soon built up a reputation that extends practically all over the South Side and a splendid mail order business has been built up at the several towns along the P. & F. railroad as well as the towns reached by the stage lines out of Mesa. With the success of the Mems Toggery came a demand for a Ladies' Toggery and with the Ladies' Toggery naturally came a demand for chldrens ready made clothing. The three lines with all accessories has finally satisfied MT. Johnson that he has a foundation upon whcich to build a much larger business. The exclusive idea has been his hobby and he is glad to announce that he has last come to d condition when he can offer to the residents of the South Side an exclusive line of Gen. tlemen's, Ladies and Children's read made clothes with all accessories.

THE ToGGERYS GRAND AUTUMN
 OPENING

The Toggery in announcing its for mal autumn opening for this season in a page ad in this issue of The Re publican brings the residents of the south side face to face with the fact that at least they will have a store dealing exclusively in Ladies. Gentle mems and Children's ready made cloth ing. For years it has been the idea of Mir. Johnson to gradually work into this exclusive line, and at last he is ready to announce that his ambition has been realized.
 The Toggery is practically a new establishment in Mesa, only being a few years old but its growth has been phenomenal. From a very small be- ginning with a small stock in small room it has enlarged into the most CommodiOus room in the Chandler building with one of the largest stocks on the south side. However, with the move into the Chandler building a line of piece goods was added for the accommodation of the many customers of the place but this was not exactly the idea Mir. Johnson had of business building and a plan was immediately commenced to close out the piece goods business which has been about accom- plished. The idea of the management
