THE democrats of the territory will meet in Phoenix on Wednesday,

hG NShIOSI oto Oi tuO will meet in Phoenix on Wednesday November 10, at s p. m. The ex- press purpose of the meeting will be to discuss I.lans for the cam paign that will have to be made in order to carry the new state of Arizona when admitted into the union next winter. Chairman Dil Ion of the territorial democratic committee has addressed letter to the "unterri6ed" urging them to be present at this meeting. Among other things the letter says: "Every democrat is at peace with every other democrat. Let us take ad- vantage of the optimistic feeling that pervades our ranks and perfect our organization to such an extent that failure at the polls will be i'm possible" THE NEWS believes that the democrats are taking a wise step. and a proper time to im- prove their fences. THE NEWS further believes that a similar meeting by the republicans would not at all be out of place. The political complexion of Arizona is in the balance with a tendency to lean towards republicanism. The republicans will probably be in control of the affairs of the state of Arizona if the work of organizing the party is begun early. The organization should be thorough and there should not be a neglected precinct in the entire territory. The Democrats propose to work sys- temically to gain back the losses and get busy.

THE CASE OF DR. PERRIN

We clip the following from the San Francisco Chronicle:
 The attorney general of the United States has ordered the dis
 missal of the criminal charge against
 Dr. E B. Perrin, once convicted of conspiracy with John A. Benson for defrauding the United States government of timber lands. Dr
 Perrin appealed from his convic ton and it was reversed and a new trial ordered. The new trial is now to be abandoned. The attorney general is of the opinion that, al- though there was fraud, of which Benson was convicted, pr. Perrin was innocent of it.
 Whatever evidence there was con- necting Dr. Perrin with the fraud was gumshoe evidence collected by Detective Burns. By declaring that no new conviction could be ob- tained on such evidence the attor- ney general expresses the belief that no jury is likely to believe the testimony of that class of men, and intimates that he does not believe it himself. Secret service men are essential for the collection of evi- dence against criminals, but it is as much their duty to protect the in- nocent as to convict the guilty. There is, however, a class of men who sometimes get into the service whose main thought is not to as certain truth, but to produce a sen- sation to their personal glory. and who, when once started in pursuit of person, are determined to put him in the penitentiary, innocent or guilty. And the conduct of some who are employed in that service has come to be such that a large part of the public IS convinced that they are unworthy of belief. Juries are less and less inclined to believe the testimony of gumshoe men, and as rule will not do so when cor roboration is not ample and clear. The fact seems to be that by con- tinual association with criminal detectives who are honest in the rapidly acquire criminal habits of thought and do not hesi- 'ate to promote thelr own reputa- jon for ingenuity and yigor. when

PAYS TO RAISE HOGS.
Randall County Citizen Gets Good Results From
Raising Of Swine.

Another report of successful
hog raising in this county comes
in this week. In fact we contin-
ually hear about hogs which
bring high prices and which are
easily raised here. Bob Foster
this week sold to Bob Steen and
S. NJ, Downing three head of
hogs which aggregated the total
weight of 1926 pounds, two of
the hogs together weighing $50
pounds. He received six cents
per pound on foot here for them.
Mr.. Foster is an advocate of hog
raising and has grown and fed
many of them during his exper-
fence here. Mr.. Foster stated
to the News reporter that these
three head of hogs had never
been fed any feed other than
Kaffir corn and Kaffir corn chops
and he thinks that Katfir and
Milo Maize are the ideal feed for
such stock. He expects to raise
a large number of hogs during
the next year.
