Monday night. A Denver drum
mer elected to find fault with
his bed, and to shoot six bullets
into the mattress and raise a
row, and the landlord had to
shoot one bullet into the drum
mer that the rest of the guests
might get to sleep again. The
drummer left town after the
bullet was extracted, threaten
ing a suit for damages, but we
opine he will think better of it.
Hotel proprietors in Arizona al
ways have and always will ex-
ercise a fatherly care over their
guests. If they think best to
shoot one of them in the leg or
shoulder, it is done.
The Jim Hellso Opera house,
which is one of our harmless

ject to the cowboys coming in

themselves. The cowboys object
to our objections. Hence the
strained relations. When We
catch them in town we shoot
them out; when they catch us
outside the town limits they
shoot us in. In returning from
Volt creek the other day we
were pursued by five cow-punch-
ers for a distance of a mile and a
half, and it seemed as if a hum
dred shots were fired at us. We

The Shadow We Cast.

In this great world of sunshine
and shadows, we are constantly
casting shadows on those around
us and receiving shadows in re-
turn. There is no pathway Of
life which is not sometimes in
the shade, and there is no one
who walks over these paths, it
matters not which way they
tend, who does not now and
then, cast his shadow with the
rest. How often do we, by a
mere thoughtless act, cast a
shadow on some heart which is
longing for sunshine?
How often does the husband,
by cold greeting cast a shadow
over the happy, trusting face of
his wife, who it may be, has
waited anxiously for the sound of
his footsteps to go give him a
4 joyous welcome to his home.
How often has the parent, by a
harsh reproof. chilled the over
flowing spring of confidence and
love which is bubbling up from
the heart of the innocent prat-
tier at his knee?
How often are the bright rays
of hope torn from the clinging
grasp of the souls Of those worn
out by poverty and never endin g
conflict of life, by the stinging
ridicule or the sordid advice of
those whom honors aye, love to
honor? How often does the chic
even after it has grown to the
full bloom of manhood. and is
clad in garments of strength anG
beauty bring sorrow to the par
ent already tottering on the
brink Of eternity? Then beware
lest you cast a deeper shadow
over those already darkening il
happiness. The shadow we cas-
and we escape them? Can We
look back as we walk on in life''
journey and see no shadow
marks about our footprints?

There are several things in

as any ordinary shed will do that,

In bad weather they will take to
shelter, but in nice weather they
prefer to be out in the open, and
any fence three feet high will
turn them. They are not trou-

as are chickens and turkeys. 1t

Mileage Graft.

AHS early statesmen OF the re-
public, before the days of rail
roads, fixed the mileage of Sen.
ators and Congressman at 2C
cents per mile. This was at a
time when the trip to Washing
ton and return had to be made
stage coach. The allowance was
reasonable and just.
Today Senators and Congress
men ride over the railroad to and
from Washington at two cents
per mile. Until quite recently
most of them rode on passes. But
they all continue to draw 20
cents per mile going to and COM
ing from the Capital City.
1t is a deliberate swindle, a
brazen robbery, shameless
graft.
And yet if there is a Senator
or a Congressman who has re-
fused to be a party to this theft
we have not heard of him.
The law has never been chang
ed, as honest men would have
done, to meet modern conditions.
A Senator or Congressman whose
salary is $500 a year is allowed
500 or more for mileage without
having travelled a mile. If this
is not stealing, what is it?
The fact is that Senators and
Congressman ought to pay their
fare the same as other people,
and if they had any self-respect
they would do it. A hod> carrier
in search of a job has to pay rail-
road fare for every mile he trav-
els, or walk the ties. A washer
woman with a family, compelled
to visit a dying relative has to
pay fare, but Senators and Con-
gressmen, who fix their salaries
at more than $500 per month and
allow themselves liberal perqui-
.--sites for expenses can not afford
to pay their fare.
All of this graft and moral tur-
pitude is characteristic of capit-
alist craftsmanship. Public Of
flee is private graft, and that is
all there is to it. All pretense to
honesty is sham and duplicity to
deceive the people.
Congressman Cox says that in
!. opposing this graft he runs the
risk of incurring the displeasure
Of every member of Congress. "
We agree with him. They are
all grafters and will fight any at
tempt to deprive them of their
spoils.
The mileage graft ought to be
thoroughly ventilated by the
whole press not subsidized by
the ruling class. 1t is a public
scandal and an unmitigated dis
grace. Farmers League Journ-
al.

A Constipation

There IS no action of your daily

Arizona Kicker.

Montana the other day. Might
as well have been swung off
here, but he was too burned
mean to give..us a show.
The editor Of the Lone Jack
Recorder" says that we were
once in jail in Ohio. That's the
difference between us-he ought
to be in jail right here in Arizona
now.
Mr.. Henry Guzzler, late coro-
ner of this county, is telling
around that he intends to shoot
us on sight for saying that he
robbed the dead. 1t strikes us
that he is rather thin-skinned for
a coroner, but if he is determined
to shoot he will have to have his
way.
Our esteemed contemporary,
the Cowboy" says that we lie
and that we know we lie when
we claim three million weekly
circulation for the Kicker. "
Rather than have his feelings
hurt we will admit that we lie.
What's a few hundred thousand
circulation to keeping a holy
peace in a town?
The announcement of our
death in a Chicago paper last
week was a bit premature. We
are still on the spot, and there
are no signs of immediate de-
parture. We do not really care
to be an angel, and we don't
want to go the other place, and
so we linger on.

enough to take her into the
Union, but as far as we have

When Mr.. Taft was made
President it was predicted on all
sides that our postmastership of
Giveadam Gulch would come to
an end within 80. days. Thank
you, kind friends, but we are
still on the job. Mr.. Taft knows
a hustler by looking at his sigma
ture, and he has seen ours. Nice,
fat, little appointment, and nice
man who is hanging on to it.
We own in fee simple 10000
acres of desert land, four noun
tains, sever canyons and one ex-
tinct volcano. These properties
have come to us through specu-
lation, and we don't want to be
selfish about it. If there is a
hustling chap who wants to start
the old volcano working and raise
strawberries on the rest of the
real estate we are willing to give
him the best kind of a show.
We understand that the land
syndicate which laid out the new
town of Paradise over in Coon
Valley and hoped to sell thous-
and lots this summer has busted
all to smash. We could have told
it so. The name was enough to
kill it. 1t was the town of Tomb
stone; had it been called by any
name to cuddle up to it would
have had a dozen inhabitants.
Hit Arizona with a right name

THE FAIR COMMISSIONER.

The appointment by Governor Sloar of J. C. Adams to be a member oi he territorial fair commission was ma, Q in response to the request of those who believe that a territorial fair is an institution which should be maintained. Almost every resi- dent of the territory believes that
 There are perhaps other citizens who could fill this place as well as MT. Adams but it is the common un- derstanding that the success of the fairs we have had has been in a large measure due to the unremitting and energetic efforts of Mir. Adams, but for whom there would probably have been no territorial fair.
 It is certain that there would have been none at the time the fair was instituted. The idea originated with him, was pushed through the legisla- ture and through the office of the governor in spite of apparently in Surmountable obstacles.
 Mir. Adams has been subject to a great deal of criticism. This, how ever, has not come from those who were associated with him in the fair management or those who were in terested in the success of the fair. Nor has it beeh contended by any of his critics that he had been negli- gent of the performance of any of his official duties.
 The action of Governor Sloan in reinstating MT. Adams insures the fifth territorial fair, which we believe will be bigger and greater than the best of its predecessors.

day or two longer. MT Mcconnell cante expressly to see the country. caring little for the town and has spent most of his time in the coun- try. He is enthusiastic over the val ley and is a man whose enthusiasm is well worth while. Mir. Mcconnell was formerly the state dairy and food commissioner for Minnesota, and is now connected with the Farmers State Institute in an official capacity. He says the only trouble with the valley is that not enough people know about it and the only trouble with the newspapers is that they do not print enough "bucolic' matter, telling their eastern readers all about it, though he admits that he has seen a lot in The Republican and that it was through reading The Republican that induced him to come here. He says the sugar beets look fine. They raise a great many beets in his coun- try and are pleased when they get ten and twelve per cent saccharine mat ter and fifteen tons to the acre He says he has seen lots of beets here that he is certain will go eighteen tons and as to their sugar content all that he has learned is most gratifying. Some of the beets show the need of water. but altogether he considers the crop an excellent one especially when it is remembered that the industry is new and most of the farmers are eX- perimenting rather than anything else. The alfalfa fields he says are more than a surprise to him. He never saw anything to equal them in the alfalfa line. And so it goes down the whole list of farm products He says the newspapers and literature sent out are all modest in their statements compared to that sent from other places with less to talk about. His one comment was the slipshod culti- Vation of much of the land. Half of it if well titled he believes could be made to produce a great deal more than it does and some of it possibly would double the product if it were farmed as vigorously as in the east.
