We suppose Hoval A. Smith and Ralph Cameron will confer in Wash ington this week and agree on an other plan to fool the voters of Ari- zona next year. Smith and Cameron are responsible for the statehood bunco game played on the people of Arizona last fall.-Review.
 In speaking of the statehood bunco game, it might be well tor the Re view to remember that this is not the first time that the people of Ari- zona have been disappointed in state hood promises. The only difference is that this time the goods are to be delivered by a republican congress- man. It IS not yet too late for Cameron to deliver the goods, even though he failed to get it through before the fourth of March.

THE Hampton educational qualified tiOn bill fell by the wayside on ac- count of mistake by one of the clerks and in order to save it it had to be passed again. This was done and there is ample time to pass it over the governors veto. Therefore, un- less another mistake is made it will become a law.

THE political complexion of Green lee county seems to be worrying the democratic newspapers. It is true that the old ring will be broken up and the ignorant voters will be cut out, but we do not see any reason why this end of the county should undergo any great change. How eyer, it will be a new slate in No- vember, 1910, and we will have no way to tell what the result will be.

A. 4. Aabere.

This morning the sad news was learned that death has again reaped a mOurnful harvest. Although every one will be summoned to this call, still, when a dear friend is suddenly taken out of our midst, we can not help stopping from our turmoil and consider the fickleness or the fates of our lives. This is especially true when a youth just ready and pre- pared for life's battle has to submit to grim death. Once some one said, that he knew there was a life after this because when young man pre- pared and educated for long life, is suddenly suatched away he must continue, from where he left off, a different existence in a place un- known to mortal men; because if he did not continue after this life there would be no purpose nor end in view in his requirement of an education.
 Arme A. Aaberg died last Monday Februlry s, at Stafford from d severe attack of white plague. MT. Aaberg was born, reared and educated in Minnesota. In 1901 he took the de- gree of Bachelor of Arts at the University of Minnesota. In the winter of 19Ol-O2 he did postgraduate work there, teaching at the same of the University. In 1902 he took the degree of Master of Arts at the same institution. After he had graduated he was elected president of Glenwood Academy, a position he held for two years, when he was elected to teach in the Seattle high schools, where he remained till the fall of 1906 when he suddenly took ents at Roy, Washington, where he took well earned rest and also tried to recuperate from supposed attack of the typhoid fever. He was ad- vised to seek a drier climate than Washington and in the summer of 1907 he came 10 Clifton to take the principalship of the schools of dis triCt 3S. He remained in charge of the schools until Christmas, when he decided to move to Stafford, where he remained until his death. The re- mains were sent to Roy, Washington, for burial.

MINING NOTES
Pertaining to CIiftOn-MOrenci DiS-
 trict and Surrounding Camps.

A new copper strike of unknown proportions has recently been made on the property of the Polaris mining company, on which development work is being done by the Southwestern development and improvement com pany. General Manager Franz has made no announcement of the extent of the new strike, but it is under stood that if it proves permanent, it will be of much importance. During the past several months that portion of the Clifton -Morenci district has interests, and as a result consider able amount of new work is now being executed.
 Work has been commenced on de- velopment of the Silver King group of claims just below Morenci. Den yer capital is making the venture. This property is in a valuable dis trict from which a considerable amount of good goldsilver ore has l three years. The work is under the supervision of Jacob King, who was superintendent of the New England and Clifton Copper company mines several years ago. That the new Denver syndicate will make go of the Silver King there seems to be little doubt The property is con- nected with the county wagon road by first-Class private road, and ore can be transported at comparatively small cost. It is more than likely that the property will soon develop into d shipper.
 Low priced copper, which is the present condition of the market, Cer- tainly does not look good to the com panies engaged in the manufacture of that metal in this territory. Els pecially will this condition of affairs interfere with the operation of new or small companies, and if the market settles down to a 12 cent level, there are, no doubt, many companies that will be forced to close down. While the Clifton Morenci district will feel the effects of small prices, there is no liklihood of a close-down, due to the fact that our large producers are or strictly scientific basis, which per mits them to operate at small profit long after many other companies are out of business. With the exception of the suspension of some new im provements or development work, oul companies go ahead just the same and continue to produce their general average output. The Clifton-Morenc district is known in mining circles a: a low grade camp, but when it come: to weatheringa a cheap copper market | we are in a class by ourselves.

COnnsr Phases.

The following item is taken from an easter copper authority of recent date:
 "There is talk of early large sale of copper, of arrangements between con- sumers and producers for taking large part of accumulated metal at concession. Producers have held firmly for 13 cents; consumers seem willing to pay 12t and a 12f cents price appears reasonable. An nauthor- ity is quoted by the New York Journal of Commerce as saying that it sounds very bearish to say that production is running 122, ,OOO, ,OOO pounds in excess of consumption every month, but this is very small percentage of the aggre- gate business. In normal times," he says, "there would be scattered throughout the premises of consumers every ounce of the IA, ,000,oO0 pounds shown to be awaiting purchasers, but at the moment the warehouses of con sumers are as bare as a wiDdswept sand desert. Unfortunately, our ulduuId GU luTGIS nave nut SullCl6uI acumen to lay in supplies when prices are low-it is possible to do business on big scale only on rising market, whereas Europeans are quick to take advantage of a break in prices. If quotations were to move up a cent or more you would probably see a rush 10 place contracts, and when once this buying wave sets in the accumu- lations will disappear like a flash. It is never unsafe to lay in a supply of merchandise when that merchandise is being sold at cost of production or less.
 A large number of the old timers of Clifton this week had the remains of Mason Greenlee removed from the Shannon hull cemetery to the new Masonic cemetery up Wards canyon. MT. Greenlee was one of the first pros- pectors who had confidence enough in the values of the Clifton-Morenci dis | trict to risk his life with the Indians in order to locate the oldest claims in the Greenlee Mining district.

day:

wear shoddy garments
The men who build houses live in
novels
The men who make motor cars
walk
The men who build ocean liners
cannot afford to travel abroad.
The men who do the hardest and
dirtiest work get the lowest reward.
The men who have transformed the
world have no legal right to live in il.
Under a Socialist system, however
The right TO work. which means the
right to live, would be an established
fact.
The men who work will get the full
product of their labor.
No man will be able TO live upon
the labor of his fellows unless he be
incapacitated through age or illness
Every man will be well fed. well
clothed, and well housed.
Every man will have opportunities
for culture. for travel. and for leisure
The world will become a thing Of
beauty and will belong to the workers
of the world.

claimed for II,
Individualism tcapitalism) demands
profits in the production and exchange
OF commodities. Socialism demands
that production and exchange of
commodities be for use purposes and
not for profits.
Socialism stands for cooperation
and is constructive. 1t builds for the
benefit OF all. ITO teach as his work
shall be" is its motto.
Individualism stands for compe-
tition and is destructive. Through
competition IL tears down. 1t destroys
more and more the interests of the
less successful and enlarges the inter-
ests of the more successful, until al
ready one per cent of the people of
the United States own more wealth
than all the remaining 80 per cent OF
the people put together, and ten mil
lions of our people are constantly
underfed. badly clothed and poorly
housed.

The right to boycott is inherent in
every man and we are going to stand
by it," declared Samuel Gompers,
president Of the American Federation
of Labor, in a lecture on Trades
Unions and Social Progress" under

is no person in the world against
whom 1 bear III will. But there are
some persons 1 will not trade with.
And when / get one or more men to
take the same position 1t is called a
boycott. Our revolutionary fathers
boycotted. They would not buy the
Englishmens tea and would not buy
from any person who did. That was
real secondary boycott. From the
time of Adam and Eve the boycott by
another name has been a universal
weapon of mankind, and for a court
to throw itself into a spasm because
the word is not euphonious is incom-
prehensible to a rational person.
Right to Patronage.
Men say they don't like the sign
on the United Cigar Stores and won't
buy there. That is all right. but the
principle applies as well to the cigar
store as IL does to a Buck stove or a
range. (Cheers.) You have a right
to give patronage or to withhold III;
to restore. or to transfer It.
II hold as legal right. as a funda-
mental right. the right to bestow or
Withhold patronage; in other words,
TO boycott. The question of the boy
colt Of one company or another COM
pany shrinks into insignificance. how

ance OF the injunction which has been
used against myself and others.
THAT Injunction prohibits the right
of you and OF me TO speak or write on
a certain subject, thereby depriving
US OF that freedom OF speech guaran-
teed to us by the constitution. and I
