Behold the Mares Nest!

Stop, Look! Listen! Behold the mares nest!
 It has been discovered that some time in the last century. the repub- licans of Maricopa county, in con vention, declared in favor of refer endum" of all e estions affecting bond issues to the people-a principle which republicans have caused to be firmly fixed in our statutes.
 This. it is argued. is a reason why the people of Arizona should now abandon the American system of gov ernment, abolish the legislature, and resort to direct legislation at the polls on all questions.
 The reference of bond issues to the people is a principle of which every body Is in favor It is as remote from the principle of the initiative and referendum" as advocated in this campaign by the big corporation at torneys" and "visionaries'' described by ColoNel Roosevelt. as the north pole is remote from the south pole.
 Meanwhile, don't fail to look with awe upon the mares nest.

mark of merit to refuse to go before the commonwealth's chosen delegates with their measures; they appeal" to the people. declaring the people should rule and that the legislature is no good anyway.
 But the people rule best by the system that enables them to declare their majority will and to repudiate minority fads and isms. That system Is known as parliamentary representa- tive government. None better ever was discovered. Oregon's improve ments' mark no advance; they reveal repression in the strife of factions, the activity of agitators, the anxiety of conservative citizens. the stimula- tion of minorities, and the practical abolition of constitutional govern ment.
 Generally, the reason ascribed by promoters of new-fangled bills for refusing to take their measures to the legislature Is the real reason why they should be forced to go there and should be denied access to the ''peo pie"
 Verify, Oregon is choice haven for dSlldlOIS Ol leiNS anu iSiiiS- II iS 'iS easiest. of all states wherein to poster
 the people.
 This forceful presentation of facts is accentuated when it is remembered
 that the Portland Oregonian was one of the strong advocates for the adop- | ton of the initiative and referendum" and recall in Oregon. The Orego
 nian is the great newspaper of the northwest It has been under one
 ownership and management for nearly 1 half a century It is noted, the coun- try over, for its honesty and indepen dence and for its advocacy of reform | measures, and for its opposition to political machines. The Oregonian has found, to its regret, that the 'ini- tiative and referendum" and recall" have not brought in a-political a mill lenium in Oregon. On the contrary, it has found that they are vicious that they are utilized constantly by agitators to poster" the people and keep them in turmoil. and that no compensating good-has resulted. Hence, the Oregonian, honest as it is. tells the truth.

A Threat? Certainly.

We hear a great deal of the threat" held over the people of Ari- zona by Washington
 Let there be no mistake about the situation. Let us acknowledge the facts, frankly.
 A distinct threat" is embodied in our enabling act.
 This threat is an admonition ts the people of Arizona to frame a constitution acceptable to the presi- dent and the congress, or be prepared to accept the defeat of statehood
 That is no idle and surplus phrase olOgy in the enabling act which pro- vides for the submission of our con- stitution to Washington.
 It's meaning was intended to be so plain, and is so plain, that the way farer, even though a fool he be, may not err therein"
 If we do not submit constitution that meets the views of the president and the congress. we stay out of the Union.
 It is for us to make the choice.
 Do we want statehood? This is one question of prime importance in this campaign.
 If we do want statehood, let us frame a constitution which will meet approval at Washington.
 If we don't want statehood: If we are determined to frame a freak constitution, and, in the words of our friend. the Arizona Democrat. are willing that the president and con- gress shall do as they damn please about it," let us say so, on the 12th day of this month
 Meanwhile. let us not forget that the inclusion of the principle of direct legislation by the initiative and ref erendum'' and recall" as advocated by the "big corporation attorneys" and the "visionaries" in this campaign will certainly cause the constitution to be rejected.
 The Republican knows whereof it speaks.
 Dozens of well informed citizens in this territory know the facts, as we do.
 Do we want statehood?

Words of Wisdom From Judge Rouse

Judge owen T. Rouse. one of the sound democrats of Arizona, who re- fuses to follow his party into the socialist party. has published in the Tucson Citizen the following dispas- sionate discussion of the initiative and referendum" as advocated in this campaign by the big corporation attorneys" and the "visionaries" de- scribed by Colonel Roosevelt:
 Congress having at least authorized Arizona to form a constitution and to be admitted into the Union as a state, it is now our duty to adopt constitution which will demonstrate to the representatives in the senate and house from all the states that we have the ability to govern ourselves, and that the people of Arizona are loyal to the government and qualified in every respect to take part in the administration of the affairs of the nation.
 Facts from Pioneer.
 We should not spend any time in criticising the terms prescribed by congress for our admission. After the Union was formed by the thir- teen original states. congress has fixed the terms of admission of each state. Young as I am, remember the strug gle in congress over the admission of Kansas. Congress turned down the Lecompton constitution and repudi- ated "squatter sovereignty" the pet measure of the great Douglas
 Now we have the opportunity to demonstrate that we have of our pop ulation enough statesmen to make a constitution free from fads and freaks. We will make such a constitution. The constitution of the United States was framed 125 years ago, and only fifteen amendments thereto have been made; some of them were necessary In order to protect or preserve the rights of the former slaves. One of the amendments was held to be void by the supreme court of the United States for the reason that it was in conflict with another provision of the constitution which guaranteed to every citizen the right to exclude from his hotel or restaurant any person for any reason satisfactory to himself whether he was black or white or of any other class. All those fifteen amendments together do not cover more than two pages of an ordinary law book.
 Representative Government.
 The United States constitution makes this a representative govern ment. There are three coordinate branches. the executive, the legisla- A. l.zs. al, is independent of the other. and free to act within it's sphere. governed only by the constitutional provisions. That is. the executive enforces the laws guided by his oath of office: the congress makes the laws. which must be signed by the president. or be passed over his veto; the court is bound to enforce the law, if 1t is not

The Two Objections.

There are two objections which all thinking citizens find to the adoption of the initiative and referendum and recall" in the constitution which we are to submit to Washington:
 First-These doctrines are socialistic and revolutionary. and are designed for the destruction of the American system of government
 Second-To include them in the constitution will defeat statehood for Arizona and force use to remain in Arizona and force us to remain in years to come.

Thousands of men and women who

not distinct disease in itself, but a
symptom caused by inactive kidneys.
Rheumatism is uric acid in the blood
and other waste products of the sys-
tenn which should be filtered and
strained out in the form of urine. The
function of the kidneys is to sift these
poisons and acids out and keep the
blood clean and pure. The kidneys
however, are of sponge-like substance,
the holes or pores of which will some
times, either from overwork, cold or
exposure become clogged, and falling
in their function Of eliminating these
poisons from the blood, they remain
in the veins, decompose and settling
about the joints and muscles, cause
the untold suffering and pain OF rheu-
matism and backache, often producing
complications of bladder and urinary

The following simple prescription Is
said to relieve the worst cases of

the author was a Ese.bar vas out
after walrus in the middle OF Smith
Sound. they barely escaped death on
a detached ice foe. Finding them
selves separated from the pack and
drifting downward toward the open
water. which would have meant slow
starvation. the members Of the hunt
ing expedition frantically explored the
boundaries OF their temporary prison
for a loOphole Of escape. Finally one
OF the Eskimos discovered where BY
utilizing small ice pans as ferries the
party could escape TO the solid pack.
That was one Of the many close calls
that Whitney experienced.
Eskimo Endurance.
The author never ceased to marvel
at tie endurance of his friends the
savages. Life with them is so stern
matter of nip and tuck that the Es-
kimos seem to have been hardened in
to almost superhuman strength and
stamina. Their pursuit of game is
never ending, and at times the life of
a whole colony will depend on the
success of one hunting expedition.
Whitney saw his Eskimo COM
panions take chances with death
which were nothing short of sheer
madness; he found them ready to go
without sleep for three days on end,
eager to be on the move as long as
their legs would support them. They
cannot lean on others for support,
Whitney comments, and none among
them is so poor that charity comes
his way. He must work if he is to
live, and no man in the world works
so hard as the Eskimo or enjoys so
little of life's comforts and Injuries"
With the return of the sun Whit
ney and a party of Eskimos crossed
the ice of Smith Sound over to Files
mere Land, where the author sought
the single reward of all that winters
isolation, musk OK. With a hunters
pride he devotes several chapters of
his book to the narration of this sue
cessful musk OK hunt. He knocked
down more of the beasts than he
could bring back to Greenland with
him and the trophies in heads and |
hides that he secured amply rewarded
his months of waiting.
