.UNCALLED FOR
 CRITICISM.
International Ameriean.l

The article in the Dispatch this morning in which odium is sought to be cast on J. J. Bowen, the democrat ic member of the board of supervis- ors, was wholly uncalled for, and con- tained several false statements. The Dispatch in that article Is trying to play the very lowest and dirtiest poli- tics, notwithstanding it's frequent pos ing as a non-partisan in county and municipal affairs.
 That Cochise county is to have a new county hospital and that it will be located at Douglas is almost who'll ly due to the common sense of Super visor Bowen. The plan to erect the hospital by a bond issue, endorsed by a republican caucus, and the Dis patch would never have brought the new hospital; that plan was opposed by Bowen and Supervisor Shearer finally agreed with Bowen. notwith- standing he was present in the repub- lican caucus when the bond issue was proposed and endorsed.
 The letting of the first contract for the hospital, according to the district attorney was not in accordance with the law and as litigation was threat ened it was proper that the contract should be relet.
 cfa avT Svz the Dispatch article this morning shows the recklessness of that sheet. We refer to the following: Thou sands and thousands of dollars have been voted away in past years for bridges, jails, road contracts, public works of all kinds, Foxy lawn would even now" This would imply that money had been voted away for which the county had not received value No incident of such action is mentioned. The fact is that during the last dem ocratic administration the plan fol- lowed in the letting of the hospital contract to Olson did NOT obtain. The board in letting the contract to Olson followed ar old precedent, it is ] true, but one not confined to Cochise county by any means.
 Here is another extract from the Dispatch which displays its hide bound political prejudice and puts that paper to ridicule in the face of
 e former pleas for non-partisanship } county and municipal government:
 "The Dispatch is glad that the in cident occurred in a measure, for it has brought two good republicans and lmen on the board together
 It has not been week since th Dispatch was denouncing both Bower l and McCabe for playing politics iE he letting of the hospital contracs. out now that two good republicans ] lhave been brought together on the board the Dispatch's cup of political . joy has been filled to the brim.

limit the race for this greatest of in ternational cups to skimming dishes under special rules is not to the best interest of yachting. It is not the American way to keep sporting tro- phies under lock and key.
 Sin Thomas wants "a sporting race and that is what the public wants a real race with real boats. It wants a trial of conclusions between sesgo- ing sloops or cutters, not contest between racing machines in specified waters In adopting the universal measurement rule for all other races but retaining special conditions for the Americas cup the New York Yacht club in effect keeps the great est race of all in class by itself under hampering restrictions that on. ly tend to discourage the development of yachting in what should be its freest field. This is not to forget that the club has shown spirit of con cession to the demands of the British challenger. It would violate no tradi- tions of American sport in meeting him half way.
 Sir Thomas comes ''red-hot," to use his phrase, for race. Why not give him one, notwithstanding the letter of the text of deeds of gift? And may the best boat win!

ELECTION RESULTS IN AN OFF YEAR.

The result of the counting of the votes cast in the various states on Tuesday contain much of encourage ment to the democratic party, and in other states the results are decided ly mixed. Kentucky is back inthe democratic fold and has come back handsomely, having elected legisla' ture two-thirds democratic so that all legislation can readily be passed over the head of the Republican govern or.
 From the old Bay State also comes cheering tidings, although the entire republican ticket has been elected. the majority of a year ago has been minimized and was less than ten per cent. of that which was given to the Taft electors a year ago, 5000 as against 60,00O, and hope is felt by the party that Henry Cabot Lodge may be retired from the senate an other year when his present term has expired.

To be sure Gaynor was elected but this is small if any comfort, as he has never been a strong support CT of the wigwam and was put on practically under compulsion in hopes of saving the rest of the ticket.

The county ticket is also gone and the Tiger will hunger for patronage for two years to come. It was the white slavery cry which was most largely respon- sible for the defeat of Tammany Hall.

The Evening Agony is showing signs of political disturbance. It is trying hard to uphold the action of the dis trict clerk of this county in freezing to the thousands of dollars of fees which was cut away from him by a Democratic legislature when this of- flee was made a salaried office. We have no quarrel with MT. Wilcox be cause of his action, but we are of the opinion that the people of this county will desire to see this question of fees settled by a decision of the supreme court. The afternoon sheet says that the case wherein the district clerk se- cured a judgment for the fees which the legislature sought to abolish by the substitution of liberal salary, has been appealed to the supreme court The Review was informed that this case was not appealed; if it has been there is no criticism due the district attorney on account of this case. It was reported from Tombstone that this fee case was practically submitted to the court without contest on the part of the district attorney. This paper has admired many things in the present district attorney and would not knowingly criticise him unless for an inexcusable action. However, no matter what he thinks of statute in- volving thousands of dollars Of fees which might be saved to the county we believe it is his duty to see that the law is tested in the highest court in the territory before agreeing to it's notification at the expense of the tax payers of the county. If it is true that this is the program of District Attor- ney Williams, no one will ask any thing more.

Joe was accused few days ago by .he Douglas Dispatch with playing to the political galleries in Bisbee and it seems that this intima- tion was sufficient to bring Joe to terms with the Republican political bosses of the smelter city.

RINGLING BROTHERS MAY BUY MADISON SQUARE GARDEN FOR
 NEW YORK HOME FOR CIRCUS
It is Offered to Them for S250 900 and They Want it
 for Practical and Sentimental Reasons.
How an Old Rag Carpet Stretched in Mothers Back Yard Promises to Grow into the Greatest Circus
 Pavilion in the World

New York, April 5.-Overtures are being made to the Ringing Brothers to purchase Madison Square Garden. Should the deal be consummated the greatest and most famous sporting arena in this country will be preserved to New York.
 Although matters have not pro- gressed beyond tentative stage, they were discussed last night with enthu- Sia.Srn by a. few captains of the real estate market, who shared in the se- cret.
 The price asked is s3,25o, ,000. This is $250, 900 less than the amount at which it was offered to the city in 1907, when the site was suggested for the propc ;ed new court house. There has never been a. time since the Garden was opened on June 16, 1890, that the stock holders have received a dividend on their investment.
 Alfred T. Ringing said: '1t would be premature to discuss the matter at this time. We have not purchased Madison Square Garden, nor has any definite decision been reached. It IS true that overtures have been made, but they have not come from the stockholders. I must decline to affirm or deny the reports heard in real eS- tate circles further than to state that
 The plans for alterations include building three or more stories on the Madison avenue frontage, which would be devoted to business purposes.
 Another suggestion Is to provide for a Dig auditorium by combining the
The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1909-04-05

Garden theatre and the concert hall. This plan provides for a. movable par titfon which would separate the thea tre and concert hall when occasion re- quired.
 Although the Ringing Bros. regard the project primarily as a business proposition, sentiment plays g. promi- nent part in their attitude toward the overtures. Not SO many years ago the famous brother ShowInen set their eyes on Madison Square Garden as a goal post to their ambitions. Barnum & Bailey enjoyed the exclusive privilege of exhibiting their circus in the Gar den. Other proprietors, and notably the Ringlings. sought admission. but were barred by the Barnum & Bailey contract The Ringlings were deter mined to accomplish their ambition and to that end purchased the Barnum elusive right to "corne to New York town" once a year and show in the Garden.
 Madison Square Garden under their ownership would serve as a monument to American youth of what energy and integrity can accomplish. It would mean that their first mammoth pa vilion", which consisted of an old rag carpet borrowed from their mothers kitchen and stretched in the back yard, had grown to a canopy inclos- country.
 The Garden site covers thirty-two city lots. It originally cost $1, GOO, GOO and the building $1, 800, 600. It is known that the Ringing Bros., should they decide to purchase, will perpetuate the ampitheatre as the home of the Horse Show.
