Let Us Get That Watch!

The late J. Elliott Walker was fond of telling a story the point of which is especially applicable to the great issue of this campaign.
 Mir. Walker was a sturdy old demo- crat, and was one of the most Icvable characters that ever lived in Mari copa county. He had a heart as big as "all outdoors and he would not willingly hurt a fly. He was a valiant soldier of the cOnfederacy, however. and he did his full duty as a soldier and braver man never lived. He was one of Mosby's famous troopers, and the incident that he so often told about happened in the closing days of the war. Walker was in command of a detachment which overlook a carriage in which a Yankee colonel'' was riding. and the colonel was halted and ordered to surrender. Climbing out of the carriage. the colonel shone forth in the splendor of a new uni form of the federal army. A hand some sword dangled at his side, and across his vest was a gorgeous watch chain, which to his captors betokened an equally gorgeous watch. The col onel surveyed his captors, all of whom had the worn and bedraggled look of men who had slept on the ground in their clothes for weeks. Among them there was not a sign of a uniform. Looking from one to the other, the colonel in choice accents said: "To whom shall I have the honor of sur rendering my sword?" With a roar like the bull of Bashan,. Walker re- piled:
 "To h. with your tea table talk Give me that watchi'
 All of us have heard, and have in dulged in, more or fess tea table talk in this campaign which has not even a remote relation to the one issue which confronts us-the issue of statehood. The only question be- fore the voters next .uonday will be: Shall we have statehood?"
 Let us get that watch!

Legislatures have generally fiber ally provided for the Tempe Normal school. Sometimes they were inclined to be niggardly, but the friends of education and influential citizens of
 Tempe have always succeeded in showing them that a niggardly policy in matters of education was a short
 sighted one.
 Now, suppose under direct legisla
 ton a liberal and just appropriation
 should be proposed by the legislature
 for the Tempe Normal school. And suppose, as in the case of the
 state university of oregon, a group
 of miserly fools should seek to defeat
 that appropriation. Who could prevent It's possible de- feat?
 Would the great ignorant vote come
 to its aid?
 Would the miners of Bisbee. Clifton, Globe and Jerome rise in their thou 1 sands to save the appropriation? Would not these voters if they should go to the polls rather vote against the appropriation? Thousands of other voters. in re- mote parts of the territory, fairly in telligent but with no children to be benefited by the Normal school. would
 he apathetic and would probably not | go to the polls
 The citizens of Tempe and the friends of education could not reach | the electorate of Arizona as they had
 reached the legislature, and save the | bill.

A Peril of the Referendum.

Some of the citizens of Tempe and vicinity see a peril in the initiative and referendum which they had not thought of at first-a menace to the Normal school, which is the pride of that locality. They see a possible dan ger similar to that which for a time threatened the state university at Eu- gene. Ore, from which it was rescued after it had been foolishly submitted to a referendum by the bare majority of 4,0O0 votes in the 100000 voting population of Oregon. It was that nearly defeated by the selfish and ig- norant voters who felt no interest in the state university. Many of them, of course, could not read; they had never attended a university and to them the proposed annual appropria- ton of s125.0o0 seemed an unneces- sary waste.

LACKED LENGTH OF LEGS.

 He announced he was from New York. naggcd the bellboys, jawcd the clerks, cusscd the service. roared at the food. complained about his room and the elevator. and the telephones and the bar, and everything else.
 One afternoon he walked over to the porter and said Here, you, I'm going to quit this town and go back to New York, where l can get some decent service. I want you to buy me two seats in d parlor car on the i o'clock New York train. Get me two seats now, and meet me at the station with the tickets. l want one chair to sit in and one to put my feet in"
 The seats were delivered at the train just before it pulled out. one of the seats was in car No. and the other was located in car No. I. Cleveland Leader.

FINANCE AND COMMERCE

New York, Sept. 9.-The contin- gent of professional board room traders who have made up the re cent stock market shows a dwindling tendency. The Encouragement of the efforts to move prices proves too much Listlcss indifference to every variety of news developments be- comes more and more pronounced. That the stagnation of the stock market is not expected to be merely temporary is shown by the general reduction of office and clerical forces which is going on amongst brokerage houses.
 The price of stock exchange seats is falling as another indication of the low ebb to which purely stock mar ket operations have fallen. The meagre daily transactions are made up in large portion of transactions between board room members them selves and upwards of half of the total is concentrated in two or three stocks
 Yesterdays unfavorable copper sta tistics were reflected in a decline in the London price. Copper indus trials were almost immovable in New York in common with the rest of the list. Business for the day made low record of activity for the year. Bonds were steady. Total sales, par value $1,563, 900. United States bonds unchanged.

Salvation First.

Under the republican plan. the con- stitution of Arizona can be amended at any time by a mere majority vote.
 If, after we become a state. the voters desire to change the constitu- ton in any way. they have only to vote a change.
 There will be no more difficulty about it than there is in the election of next Monday for the constitutional convention.
 It would seem, however, from much of the hysterical talk that has been waited upon the breezes. that many people are under the impression that the election of Monday will be their last and only chance to vote for any thing
 All the probabilities support the proposition that the world will con- tinue to revolve, and that time will go on. All the future is before us. Ii the world should come to an end the details of legislation will no longer interest anybody.
 Assuming that time will continue why should we grow hystericaI in our efforts to adopt at once every Ere form" that has been suggested? Ii there be merit in any of the propo- sitions that have been suddenly ad- vanced and advocated by people who up to sixty days ago had scarcely heard of them, these propositions will survive.
 There will be plenty of time to dis cuss them calmly. and to put them in force if the people want them.
 Meanwhile, let us get statehood
 Without statehood, we can't hay, any of the things that some people now think they want.

The Parting Roads.

Like the Children of Israel wander ing in search of the Land of Promise, the people of Arizona have wandered for more than twenty years in pur- suit of statehood.
 Quite twenty years ago they fol- lowed unwise leaders and framed a constitution which was sent to Wash ington. That constitution was dis tinguished by populism, and it went into the Washington waste baskets. Arizona thereby created a reputation abroad which has been a handicap through all the intervening years.
 Washington is still suspicious Per mission has been given us to come into the Union, under certain clearly defined conditions.
 These conditions are that we must present a constitution that will meet Washington approval.
 The constitution must be approved by the president and by congress II disapproved by the president, the con- stitution will not even reach congress. Statehood is defeated, then and there. President Taft is not playing poli- tics. He is paying no attention to the question of a second term. He IS doing what he thinks is right. In all his official actions he is guided solely hv his sense of duty. He is a great constitutional lawyer. He has the most profound admiration for the constitution of the United States. The constitution of the United States pro- vides for the representative form of government. The democrats in Arl- zona propose to destroy the repre- sentative form of government, and adopt the freak system of direct leg jslation." The president is opposed to this proposed innovation. He has made this clear in the documents which were sent directly from his of flee and published in The Republican on September S. He also made his position clear in his speeches at PhOe- nix and Prescott last fall. He earn estIy advised the people of Arizona to adopt a constitution simple and clear, taking for their model the con- stitution of the United States.
 Is there a sensible man in Arizona who doubts that President Taft will disapprove Arizona's constitution if it contains the principles to which he. is opposed? He will not hesitate to dc his duty
 William H. Taft is the most power full friend Arizona ever had at Wash ington He is all sincerity. He found the people of Arizona wandering in the desert of disappointment. He pointed the way to the Promised Land He has kindly acted as oui guide and friend. But if we persist in following path that he cannot
