A Leader Worth While.

The democratic statesmen in the constitutional convention who are now so ready to flout the counsel of Mark Smith and the other leaders of their party in this territory. will in all probability be imploring MT. Smith and other conservative democrats to tect Arizona from the evil conse- quences of a radical constitution.
 We don't know of any citizen of the territory whose advice at this junc- ture should be more valued by the democrats in the convention than Mark Smith. It is not too much to say that the statesmen who are so sure-just now-that they are 'the peo- pie" would have had no opportunity to frame a constitution if it had not been for the long years of service rem dered by Mir. Smith at Washington. It was he, indubitably, who lined up the national democracy against joint statehood, and the cumulative effects of his work for statehood were seen in a large measure in the final strug- gle for the admission of the territory. With this record behind him, MT. Smith is entitled to a respectful hear ing when he warns his party associ- ates against the folly of framing a revolutionary constitution.

ADVANCE AGENT FOR CHORUS
Girls of Opera Company Have a Man
 to Look After Their Interests

Reserving rooms for chorus girls and making all advance arrangements for their comfort and convenience during their stay in each city visited is the principal mission in life of J
 Percival Moore, who dropped off a Pennsylvania train from New York Saturday. MT. Moore came to Phila- delphia as the advance agent of the chorus and show girls of the com pany in which Miss Lulu Chaser is starring this season.
 But this particular advance agent has nothing to do with the company or the star. He is engaged not by the Messrs. Shubert, but by the fifty odd chorus girls of the company who pool their interest and pay MT. Moore regular weekly salary to look up hotels and boarding houses, make res ervations and then send back a de- tailed report as to rates, locations, distances from railroad stations, the aters, restaurants, etc.
 An advance agent exclusively for the merry merry is an innovation even for big musical organizations, but the girls declare he is a necessity The regular business manager or ad- vance agent of theatrical company limits his work of reserving rooms to the star. and for that reason the chorus girls have decided to supply their own advance representative. The small sum levied per capita is said to be saved several times over by their advance agent who has nothing else to do but inspect hotels, boarding houses, apartment houses and the like.

The Silly Recall.

Will somebody please explain how 1t comes about that the recall" was not advocated by the democratic party in the late campaign and is now sup posed to be one of the cardinal doc trines of the territorial democracy?
 Who authorized the wise statesmen in the convention to believe that the recall is so ardently desired by the people of Arizona that they are willing to lose statehood in order to register their approval of this 'ism?"
 The whole recall business is a piece of political insanity. of which most of its advocates will be heartily ashamed a few years hence
 And as for the recall of the judic- iary,' is there a sane member of the convention who believes that there will be even a remote chance for statehood with such a provision in the constitution?
 If the delegates would only muster sufficient courage to defeat once and for all every proposal to make the recalr' a feature of the constitution, the many thousands of citizens who are deeply desirous of statehood would ending.

PERSONAL CHATS WITH
THE HERALD JUNIORS

Dear Aunt Laurie:
| think a department for those in
the eighth and high school grades
would help US all in political lines, but
yet there are a good many who would
not write as often, because they would
have to spend more time, and then
there are a good many of the girls who
would not write because they do not
care for palitics. I remain, your loving
niece, HELEN MACE.

GIRLS ATTRACT ATTENTION

Dear Aunt Laurie:
one summer a few years ago | was
visiting in Pomona. They had a large
parade. 1t was very hot day and
the streets were so crowded that lots
of the people couldn't see the parade
at all.
The parade with all it's animals and
actresses came in long train. 1t had
ever so many long cars, and it took
two engines to pull them. The train
arrived early in the morning. By 8
O'Clock they had everything ready for
the parade. 1t began promptly at 9:3O
o'clock.
The first thing that came was the
animals, the clowns and then the
floral part.
The prettiest things in all the parade
We're two little white ponies, drawing
a little white buggy, all trimmed with
pink flowers and ribbons, with two
pretty young girls sitting in the buggy,
dressed in pink silk dresses and car
rying pink silk parasols.
There were two other little black
ponies drawing a little blue buggy,
all trimmed in blue and white flowers
tied with large blue bows, and sitting
in the buggy were two more young
girls dressed in blue silk dresses and
carrying blue silk parasols.

PARADE OF ANIMALS

Dear Aunt Laurie:
February 6, 1909, we arose at 8
o'clock, the time set for the parade in
Alamogordo, N. M.
The first thing in the parade was an
Eskimo with his train of dogs. Thls
was followed by a wagon containing
the Mexican band, and it in turn was
followed by boys and men leading eie-
phants and camels, the cage that he'u
two tigers and cages with monkeys and
leopards.
The shetland ponies came next eacn

girl. -,
Look! Look! There comes her band!
And what can that be just behind II
IT looks like an engine on wagon
believe it is and how funny! Every
time it turns around it whistles real

back to the tents, where they let the
elephants drink, and we watched them
and we went to the circus in the after
noon. tLOhENCE "A 70

NOVEL PARADE DOES
HONOR TO LINCOLN
(HonorabIe Mention)

SAW a wonderful parade in Buff
falo, N. Y, on Lincoln's birthday.
- First came a group of soldiers
representing the north and another
group representing the south. I can't
remember just what came next, but 1
think it was brass band playing. But
l certainly can never forget the clown
that was riding in the decorated
chariot drawn by eight small ponies.
Another queer thing was a group of
men dressed like bullfrogs, playing the
Star Spangled Banner" The animals
too, were queer. The kangaroo was an
odd sort of an animal. 1t carries its
young in a kind of a pocket. 1t can
jump about thirty feet and is very
strong.
Then came the Gagged animals-leop-
ards, tigers, lions lynx and bears.
Little children were crying and were
SO scared they didn't know what to do
L couldn't make out what they were
AFRAID of, but 1 guess the roaring of
the lions was the reason. The animals
also were queer, and when the ele-
phants came the children cheered up
Then came the steam calliope, which
was the end of the Lincoln parade.

FLORAL PARADE GIVES
DELIGHTFUL MEMORY

Dear Aunt Laurie:
r HAVE seen very few parades, but
the one 1 liked best of all was
n the Elks' floral parade last sum-
mer.
We had such a splendid place to see
it, and 1 didn't get tired olt' al
though-it took two hours to pass us.
Everything was so interesting and the
flowers so pretty that l am sure it is
the best parade Los Angeles has had.
I liked the floats Of the different ma
tions, and the fraternal orders were
all fine. It was good from the be-
ginning to the end. Don't you think
so, Aunt Laurie?

VARIETY OF FLOATS

Dear Aunt Laurie:
The parade that l am telling about
was the largest parade 1 have ever
seen. 1t was on Labor day in Calves
ton, Texas.
The people were crowded on each
side of the street. They were even
peeping out of the windows of the
buildings.
They had restaurants on floats with
people buying fish and other things.
People were seated at the eating table.
There We're barber shops, grocery
stores and floats of all descriptions.
There were woodmen, and Old Mother
Goose was sitting upon a wagon with
all of her little children. 1t was the
queerest, best and most laughable pa

CUNNING PONIES

Dear Aunt Laurie:
The largest and best parade / ever
saw was in Dcming, New Mexico. 1t
was about four years ago.
1t had a great many animals in 1t,
and a clown or two, and the queen of
the parade was in great tall wagon.
She was dressed in bright yellow with
a yellow crown on her head.
Last of all came the cutest of all. 1t
was some little Shetland ponies, with
little girls riding them, and some of
the girls were in little carts driving
them. Your niece,

In one big wagon there was band;
this wagon was white and red and was
drawn by six coal black horses.
Men rode on elephants and camels.
