been compelled to look high and low for candidate to defeat him. Sturges is republican,; but he is not re- publican boss; nor, in the broad sense, republican politician. He is, and al- ways has been, an advocate--a cham pion of the people. He has fought for years in and out of the ranks of his own party to break the grasp of the federal office holding combine from the throat of Arizona. He has tried to still the clamor of the hungry office seeker and holder that the voice of the people might be heard. He represents neither faction or clique. He is a plain, honest man, fighting for right and jus tice, and is looked upon both by demo- crat and republican of sound judgment and fair reasoning ability as the man at present able to deliver Arizona from her political bondage without heaping curses upon the territory of another kind. The Silver Belt is glad to note that Sturges is being accepted in Wash ington at his full worth; that he enjoys tho confidence of the president and the highest in Washington officialdom; that he is able to give advice without cast ing the suspicion that he has interior motives--that he is out for something save the interests of the people. And the beauty of it all is that the people of Arizona do not question the motives of Mir. Sturges. That home confidence has blazed his trail to the national capital and as he sits in council with the powers that be the samp influence casts a halo about his head. The oust- ing of Kibbey and his coterie of pie pulling parasites is but a satisfying in cident. The acceptance of s'turges is triumph-a great victory-for all Arizona.

ELIHU ROOT OR THE DECI.ARA
 TON OF INDEPENDENCE?

TON OF INDEPENDENCE?
 In announcing himself to be opposed to the principle of popular primaries as applied to the choice of United States senators, the new senator from New York, MT. Elihu Root, said:
 "You cannot take power away from public bodies without having the charac- ter of the bodies deterioriate.'
 Which is quite true.
 But the other end of the proposition is equally true, namely: A public body like the state legislature cannot deter iorate without eventually having power taken from it.
 The New York legislature is respon- sibls for Platt and Depew. That is an evidence that the New York legislature did deteriorate.
 Any public body which could be responsible for two such men as Depew and Piatt ought to be stripped of all it's powers,
 The powers of all legislatures came originally from the people. What the people give they can take away. The plan to instruct the legislature by a primary is plan to take away from the legislative power. The trust placed in the state legislature has been abused The people have been betrayed. It is right for the people to discharge the "misrepresentative '--the dishones, agent-the unjust steward--the corrupt cd or the foolish legislature.
 Lincoln held that the people could be trusted. That doctrine is good doctrine today. A practical application of i, will do good to many of our troubles polite.
 It is all right for MT. Root to tell us that he is statesman of the Hamil. tonian school. But that is not the ques- tion. What Hamilton might think or do if he lived today might not be what is in the mind of MT. Root. Besides, il is reliably reported that there was a period of reaction about the time of Hamilton, and his name was associated with those who believed that the Dec laration of Independence had gone too far. Hamilton and his friends were looking for methods to place "checks upon the people.
 A hundred years experience with those checks has shown that the senate of the United Stats is a little bit too much so. There is disposition to re- turn again to the Declaration of Inde- pendence, and to the ideas of the peo- ple's wisdom as taught by Lincoln.
 Thank you, Elihu, but you belong to the otheu school

CHURCH MEMBERSHIP

ChUhCd m6Mb6Hck11S
 The growth of the Christian churches of the United States in the year 1908 was not so rapid as in any one of the preceding five years, according to statis- tics of all the religious bodies just com piled by Dr. H. K. Carroll, of New York. In the report are included only church members in the United States. In all Christian churches in this country Protestant and Catholic-there are now 34, ,282, ,643 members. Of this total l2,- 094,6 ,656 are credited to the Roman Catholic church. In all the churches 720,647 communicants were added in 1908, far less than was the gain in 1907, which was reported as 1,241, ,2S6, but more than half of that total was credited to the Roman Catholic church, whereas for 1908 the Roman Catholic increase is only 29s,s4s. This leaves the total Protestant gains for the two years, respectively, 571, JAS in 1907 and 42l, ,s04 in 1908. Compared with the results of the government census of 1890, the new figures show that in the eighteen years, the number of commun- icants has grown from 2o.6ls,S07 to 34,282,543, an increase at the rate of 66 per cent. The number of ministers has grown from 111,o36 to ls5, 5,725, and increase of 4s per cent. In 1890 there were 142,639 churches; now there are 213.o49.

Saving Water on Dry Farms.

There is one point. says the state en-
gineer of South Dakota, where be
lieve the dry farmer can use with ad-
vantage the experience of certain ir-
rigators. and that is by conserving
flood waters or pumping from under
ground supplies, where this can be
done. II a farmer owning 100 acres
can conserve enough water In a small
reservoir or can pump enough water.
either by windmill or gasoline engine,
to irrigate-say-five or ten acres, he
has a great advantage over his neigh
Dor who has no supply of water, and
may even be compelled to haul water
several miles for domestic and stock
watering purposes.
There are several advantages in this
method of farming, one OF the chief be-
ing that there is always enough water
to drink and that 1t is good to drink,
not heated or stale as 1t is when it has
stood few days in tank wagon in
which 1t has been hauled. The home
lean people. as a rule. are not satisfied
unless their home can be made attrac-
tive by the growing of trees. perennial
shrubs. windbreaks for their fields,
and vegetable garden. Many of these
may possibly be grown without irriga-
ton, but it is a question whether very
many will take the necessary time and
care to grow trees and shrubs around
the house by dry farming.
