JUDGE sLoAN's ADDRESS.

In a conversational tone and with q sincerity of expression indicative of the high appreciation in which our next governor regarded the warmth of greeting given him by the citizens of Prescott, Judge Sloan addressed his auditors as follows:
 Mayor Goldwater and Friends: l appreciate your kindly greeting to- night, all the more because it is non. political in character and prompted solely by neighborly good will and friendship. After a residence among you of fifteen years I have come to re. gard the good opinion and good will of my Prescott fellow tOwnsmen as a thing of great value. If my appoint ment, therefore, to the office of gov. ernor is approved by you, my friends 1 enter upon its duties with lignt heart and the cheer that comes from the feeling that I have the support and encouragement of host of disin- terested well wishers.
 It ought to be helpful to any man as he enters upon the duties of an inn portant office in which mistakes not only count against him personally, but work to the disadvantage of large public interests, to know and 10 feel, as I know and feel, that his home peo- pie believe in him and will stand by him so long as he does, or tries to do, the right thing by them and the people he serves.
 This is not the time or place to enter into any discussion of public affairs or policies. There is one thing. now ever, of which I may speak with pro priety. I bring back from Washing ton assurances of the highest and most trustworthy character that my term of office must of necessity be short :; that statehood will not be delayed lon ger than may be necessary after con gress meets in December next. It is, therefore, important that every cit izen should give some thought and at tention to those things which must be done in preparation for this event. It is a time for unselfish and patriotic effort on the part of every citizen.
 We must satisfy the critical judg- ment of the nation at large by seeing to it that only the highest and best ideas of government are incorporated into our new state. These things do not come about as a matter of course, but are the result of intelligent and unselfish thought and effort. I shall be disappointed beyond measure if my fellow townsmen of Prescott shall fail in their duty in this regard, for we have citizenship here of high order, and, if we be indifferent in this, it augurs i'll for the people of the terri tory and the state at large. l nave the utmost confidence that you will not fall short of your full duty and that if mistakes be made our skirts will, at least, be clean and the Odium of failure will rest upon others.
 In entering upon the office of gov ernor I know you believe me when I say that have only one purpose, and that is to be of service to the people who have so highly nonored me in so many ways. I have, of course, an am bition, as all men have, but in this

Since, however, it is not mans nature to be satisfied, and since the world at large looks upon your present appointment as an advance. ment, we who are your friends and neighbors congratulate the Territory and the nation upon your selection as our governor. We congratulate the ter l ritory because we believe that all par ties and sections will be impartially treated during your administration and that the welfare of the people and not lease of office or private gain will be your constant study. We congratulate the nation, because in your appoint ment we see the promise of better days.

 But sir, it is said that republics are ungrateful, and if in the course of time it shah seem to the powers that be that your appointment was a mis- take; even if your efforts fail to satis- fy the horde of office seekers, or make peace among the would-be leaders of your party, if newspapers assail you, if political friends forsake you, if en- " traduees your god name, and life in a gubernatorial mansion proves delusion and snare, may you find con solatin in the assurance that nere in Prescott where you have spent so many years, you will always find friends who will be glad to greet you and to honor you as your merits deserve.

Reports from Globe indicate that the Superior and Boston has resumed sinking in the winze from the bottom of it's Great Eastern mine. An aver age sample taken from the bottom of the winze, eight feet in width, gave 12 2-3 per cent copper, or better than 24O pounds of copper to the ton. This is an improvement in the grade of ore from the levels above, and would ap- pear to bear out the theory of Consult ing Engineer Probert that the lower workings of this mine are just enter ing the zone of secondary enrichment.

WILL START SOON
 HUMBOLDT SHELTER
(From Thursdays DaiIy)

l From InurSOav'S Oally)
 A. s, Dwight, consulting engineer of
 the Consolidated Arizona Smeltinr
 Company, arrived here yesterday af- ternoon from southern Arizona and
 will leave this morning for the Hun
 boldt shelter. He is accompanied by
 Mrs. Dwight. He was met here by F.
 N. Flynn, mining engineer and metal lurgist of Globe, Ariz., who is assO-
 eiated with him in his examinations
 for the company.
 In an interview with Journal
 Miner representative, Consulting En-
 gineer Dwight said that he did not
 wish to make any statement concern
 ing the starting of the Humboldt plant
 at this time; that he was here in a
 professional capacity, and desired to famiiarize himself thoroughly with the many complex questions of the ore and Aux situations before giving any thing for publication.
 "All can say at this time is 'hov do you do, '' he said. ''I admit, how ever, that the company is as anxious to have the smelter started as soon as possible-as anxious as are the ore producers here.
 ''I will leave for Humboldt this morning to commence my investita- tions. The character and values of the ores, the probable output, and the Aux question are matters of serious consideration. These will be gone in, to thoroughly before any move is made looking to the resuming of perations. It is the desire of everyone interested in the company that the smelter will be a success when it is started. Fail ures are bad for investors as well Ss for the districts When the shelter is started it will be on a safe basis and with a thorough knowledge of local conditions and the ores to be treated.r
 "This is my first visit to this part of the Territory. I have operated in Cananea, Mexico, which is considered a part of Arizona. I am going into my investigations here hopeful of find ing that conditions will warrant the early resumption of operations.
 MT. Flynn, who is associated with MT. Dwight, has spent seven weeks of the last two months in this county, ex- amining mines with view of aseer- taining the possible tonnage that -sn be supplied.
 Investigations are conducted on Inc same prineipl as if starting a new shelter in a new district" MT. Flynn ,aid. elf there is a sufficient tonnage in the district to warrant and a sufiei- mt Aux obtainable, there is absolutely 10 question but what the smeiter Will DC reconstructed at the earliest possi- ole date.
 "'The work done already is only pre- iminary. The ore situation will be ,one into thoroughly. Dr. Dwight will investigate the ore and Aux problems, he condition of the plant and the cost md time necessary to get it into first lass conditin. It is more than likely hat this will require at least d north before decision can be reached
 'During his stay here MT. Dwight vill be pleased to meet ore producers Iireetly interested in the smelter.

Now, that little Socialist sheet pub
lished at Abilene, Texas, says that if
a man makes five bales of cotton, that
it will be his, that he can sell it for
money or it's equivalent. That does
not sound very socialistic. 1t seems
to me that that is just what we are
doing now. Of course, we would get
a better price for the cotton if the
monetary system was properly ad-
justed. But Socialists do not advo-
cate money reform. Some Socialists
say, Have all things in common, like
unto the cooperative commonwealth
at Ruskin, Tenn" Others say, that
man can own the cotton he pro-
duces to sell for money, etc.-which
is not Socialism at all. Neither is
that idea in harmony with the nation
al platform. In the cities they saw
one thing, in the country different
thing. In their platform they adyo-
cate one doctrine in their papers and
speeches they advocate a different
doctrine How shall we Judge them?

THE ALABAMA SITUATION

Dear S1r:-I wrote you several
days ago asking that you recon-
slider your former letter to me. and
see II you couldn't give us date for
a speech in Dothan during the next
lew days. Haven't heard from YOU
yet. l truly hope you may be able to
see your way clear to do this.
Every sore-toed politician in the
State, all the whisky men, all the
men who sell and buy it, are against
the amendment. The men who want
prohibition to continue want the
amendment. We don't admit,
don't, that the election at this time
is timely. There may be political
axes to grind behind all this. It NAV
be that our prohibition laws were
secure, but this is the question:
The bulldog is out; he's coming our
way. When the election was called.
every whisky man saw an opportuni-
ty to make rush for liquor. Money
is coming into the State from the
brewers and distillers; and this force,
together with the old home guard,
makes a dirty fight. They switch
everything into the campaign to
prejudice the minds of the voter.
They hold up the horrible searching
OF the homes; they even tell some
that they will never have another on
portunity to vote or serve on the
jury. There are so many people who
do not keep posted, and who will
not inform themselves, till it is a
nard fight.
Then, above all, two of the lead
ing criminal lawyers of this section,
men who have been political leaders,
are against it, and we all know that
they have been paid anywhere from
$4,000 on up for their fight. That's
why they are where they are.
You know the common people as
we'll as you do the uncommon"
You are close to the hearts of the
people. There are hundreds of voters

ter how firmly they are fixed, if they

WHY MIR. WATSON DID NOT GIVE.

Dear Mr.. WatsOn:--We have been
reading your publications since the
first numbers were printed, and have
been, all along, hearty believers in
your politics. But when you pub
lished your first article ON Foreign
Missions our faith staggered for a
while, but after reading and study
ing carefully what you had said along
this line, we became convinced that
you were right here, too.
We have read, with enthusiasm,
all your articles on missions, and are
glad-yes, thankful-that you have
opened our eyes; for nothing short
of blindness could have prevented our
knowing, long ago, that our present
method of conducting Foreign Mis-
sion work is wrong. And, although
we do not interpret your articles to
mean that you are a non-believer in
Foreign Missions, yet there are those
who do so interpret them, and it
hurts us, who are your loyal friends,
to hear you misrepresented.
Not long since we heard a man
who is a very earnest Christian,
class you with the hypocrite, giving
as his reason for so doing, the fol-
lowing: The secretary of our Bap-
fist Home Mission Board, after read
ing your plea for the people of the
mountain section, also your article
showing the great need Of trying to
cope with the Catholic situation in
this country, wrote and asked you for
a contribution to help carry on their
work, which you so strongly advo-
Gated. But instead of sending money
to help along the cause in which you
professed to be such a strong believer,
you wrote the secretary that you
were sorry, but you had so many
calls you could not help him.
We do not, in the least, doubt
your sincerity, but to remove the
doubt from the minds of others, we
would like very much for you to give
in an early issue of the weekly JEFF
fersonian your reason for not send
ing contribution to this secretary.
We believe you had a good reason
for not sending him anything; and
we believe, also, that you help to

THE NEGRO SECRET SOCIETIES
DID 1T.
Boston, Ga.

Dear Mr. Watson:- am a reader
of your Jeffersonian paper, and am
we'll pleased with the piece I find
in the last issue on the negro Ques-
ton. There is nobody to blame for
the way the negroes act but the white
people, and I do say that I long
to see them forced to go to work,
with their wages cut down to where
they will have to work every day or
starve.
[ am a section foreman for the
A. G.. L. Railroad, and it is nearlyim
possible for me to get men to work.
Hundreds of negroes are walking up
and down the road daily, and you
can't hire one to work. Why? Be-
cause he has got a woman in some
mans kitchen, and she is feeding
him, while he walks about and meets
paydays and calls himself a gambler
You can't hire him for any price!
Oh, I long to see the time when I
can work negroes as [ once worked
them. | have worked them for fifty
six cents per day, and their board,
and I only allowed them nine cents
for their board. l long to see that
time again. For while we had all
the hands we wanted, and they would
beg for jobs, but now you have to
beg them to work for you, and they
will hardly want to do it then.
Hoping you may have success in
all your undertakings, 1 am,
Very respectfully,

Answer.

1t is exceedingly diStasteful to me
to discuss, in public, my own private
affairs. Were not my friends some
times embarrassed by criticisms of
me, would simply take the position
that my charity work is nobody's
business but mine; and l would de-
cline to admit, by defending myself,
that any other human being has the
slightest right to dictate to me on
the subject.
Nothing is easier than to tell some
one else what he ought to do. In
fact, the Englishman's idea of charity
has become thoroughly Americanized;
when Jones sees that Brown needs
help, he is bitterly aggrieved if Smith
doesn't rush to the aid of Brown.
Charity brokerage is a profession,
lucrative and arrogant. Boards and
things tell you what the Lord wants,
and how much of your money He
needs; and if you don't hand it over,
down comes the anathema of the
brokers.
1t seems rather harsh in that good
brother to call me a hypocrite on no
stronger evidence than my failure to
respond to the appeal of that Allan
ia Home Mission Board.
If | were to give away money every
time l am asked for it, bankruptcy
would soon oVertake me. The aver
age citizen can form no conception
OF the number of letters, and individ-
uals, that come to me asking for
help. To aid every one who seeks
financial assistance of me, would re-
quire the income of a millionaire.
To tell you the truth, l do not give
my donations through any of these
expensive, unscriptural Boards"
The Bible nowhere indicates that
mission work was to be bossed by
such high-salary organizations as
now have control of the ''Go ye'' bust
ness. Secretaries here and secreta-
ries yonder, with rake-offs of $4,000
per annum, are not in the Bible, so
far as l can see.
There was another thing about this
Atlanta Board appeal to me; it look
ed little like hold-up, or a trap.
l had come out strong in favor of
Home Missions, and against Foreign
Missions. The Atlanta Board, almost
Immediately, called on me for money.
Now that looked suspicious. It
seemed to me that some of the Board
fellows had laid their heads together,
and concocted a clever scheme.
thought I could hear them saying to
one another: eff we don't discredit
that man in some way, he is going to
hurt the cause. Our revenues will
shrink. We may have to give up
these cosy quarters and fat salaries,
and go to work for living. Let us
apply to Watson for money for Home
Missions. True, we have never done
SO before, and he may suspicion
something; but, nevertheless, we will
now do it. If he comes across we
put his ducats in our pockets; if he
refuses, we will expose him. and
have him denounced as hypocrite."
