THE mandate of the postmaster general is that hereafter the wishes of the patrons of the postoffice will be considered above that of the recommendation of the congress men or senators. That's right; let merit rule. If a postmaster suits the people let the people have him. There is not an official in the coun- ty in whom all the people are so interested as the postmaster. and they should be permitted to select the one to serve them. If the con- gressman or senator is owing any one for political work let him go down into his own pockets and pay him instead of giving him a "fat" office.

No Taxes This Year

Residents of Minnesota may not be called upon to pay taxes next year. At present the treasury of the state has a surplus which has never been duplicated. In October there will be nearly $4,00O,0O0 in the state treasury. October 1, 1909, there was approximately $2, 100000 in the treasury.
 The unusual amount of money in the states cash box has come about through the successful settle ment of cases which have netted the commonwealth large sums oi money. The largest of these items came from the settlement of the lumber cases, the gross earnings tax cases, the Kennedy inheritance tax cases. and others.
 Not only have large sums of money come into the treasury, but they will result in constantly aug menting streams of gold in the di- rection of the states coffers, so that Minnesota may become a state unique in the history of taxation a state that may find it not neces- sary to tax it's people one cent for the general maintenance of the government.

STATEHOOD WANTED
 NO TIME FOR "ISMS"

Statehood is what the people of Arizona want-not political bun combe and rattle brained oratorical hysteria for revenue only. It is to be hoped that the rank and file re- publicans will see to it that the very best men of the party are se- lected as candidates for delegates to the constitutional convention men who will sacrifice their hob. bies or 'isms' (if they have any) in the interest of common sense and state government in the short est possible time. There is evident ly strong desire on the part of a certain class of benefciaries under the present status of affairs to pro- long the admission of Arizona, for obvious reasons. A crazy quilt con- stitution will have this effect.
 The preliminary skirmish begins with the primaries, Aug. 12. The nominating convention will be held Aug. 17. Let enthusiastic interest take the place of indifference and apathy.
 Let the party nominate their best men. Woman suffrage and prohi bition, the initiative, referendum and the recall, etc., these are ques- tions about which there are wide differences of opinion. But the ques. tion of statehood is one upon which the whole of us can and do agree we want it as soon as we can get it. Nominate real strivers after imme- diate statehood, and the people will elect them.-Yuma Sentinel.

THE people of Arizona may never have occasion to resort to the "re- call" if such power should be dele gated to them by the constitution, as the very fact of it's existence would have tendency to restrain any public official inclined to go wrong. But it would be wise and in the interest of clean government to have provision in our organic law to enable the people to remove any servant who may become rec reant to his trust. At any rate, it can do no harm in the constitution if we should not have occasion to enforce it against a corrupt official. Florence Blade.

1.-THE constitution itself should in my opinion, be a document set ting forth the purely organic law of the state in the senso that it is the declaration of principles and include only those things that should rightly form constitution. By this I mean that every matter of legislation inserted in the con. stitution will tie the hands of the people attempting to act hereafter through their legislature. I do not believe that any legislative restric- tions save purely necessary ones should be inserted. The real rules by which the people shall be gov erned, that is, the laws of the state, should be left to the legislature to to follow."-Gov. Sloan.

Proud of Platform

Gila county democrats are proud of the fact that they have led off in the campaign for delegates to the constitutional convention with a radical set of resolutions which it is believed will sound the keynote for the democratic campaign thru out the territory.
 Following are the resolutions on principles adopted by the demo- cratic statehood club, which de. clares such principles should be embodied in the constitution of the new state:
 1-The right of the people to initiate and adopt legislation by direct vote; commonly called the initiative.
 2-The right of the people to re- ject laws adopted by the legislature by direct vote; commonly called the referendum.
 3-The right of the people to re- move from office any officer elected by them; commonly called the re- call.
 4-The nomination of all officers by direct vote of the people; com monly called the direct primary.

OBSERVATIONS OF
 A CLODHOPPER
By TEMPEST

At last the dews of heaven have descended to break the drought and no new carcasses are exposed to the glare of a merciless sun. The God who moves the spheres and controls the lapse of ages and soft ened his heart and once again re- joice the forest inhabitants and desert nomads.
 The carefree and the gay "trip it on the light fantastic toe" to the dreamy music. Thousands throng the electric theaters that so faith fully tell life's story over and over to the never tiriug audience.
 Automobiles dart here and there like great animated beings, and spotless robes environ fairy forms, and diamonds gleam likes fires eternal from the bedecked hands and hair of feminine beauty and culture.
 Men in full dress with breast ahame with sparklers cluster about the fairs forms and together they all feast and chat while time bears no weight.
 Voices sound from melody rid den homes and choirs of church singers and social groups sound on the fragrant air. The world seems happy; none mindful beyond their own ken,
 But halt in the revelry and seek the musty recesses of the night; pause in the encircling good, and sounds of agony plainly mark dis cord. All the world is not happy.
 Men of muscle, mind and soul lie under the clouded sky in the mists of evening for lack of dry place to recline their weary forms. Penniless and hungered they have fallen into a broken slumber; some heartbroken and tear-stained, hope less and unclaimed, lie like mas- terless dogs, awaiting the last re- lief. Hope long since has fled, panic ceased to frighten and hun ger no longer a distant phantom, but an ever clinging gnome.
 Wonder tower giant structures, massive industrial works, but there is posted a sign that reads, I've want no men," Millions of dusky. features and grimy hands mark the fotsam and ietsam from foreign shores throng like sharks about a sinking ship when the steam whis- ties signal to work for the day.
 They are still coming 40O0 strong every day to America. Ellis island views thousands of strange faces that utter strange language. They come to crowd out the good old Dutch, Irish, Scotch, etc., and trans plant the crying colors of the levant on our shores.

Has No Candidate - Sheppard
Leading for Governor.

Rochester, N. Y, Sept. 29.-Though

ened today, 1t is the general opinion
that the slate will not be picked until

Hall, who dominates the convention
says he has no one to put forward as
a candidate. Edward Shepard of
Brooklyn is apparently leading for
governor.
Judge Alton Parker, temporary
chairman, said in an opening speech
that more power is being placed in
the hands of the federal government
which. he declared, was an assault on
the constitution. He declared the
people are restless on account of the
increasing cost of living which is more
rapid than wages. He attacked the
tariff, declaring the republican ma
chine stood fairly by the trusts and
against the people.

lean Newspaper Men Hurt.

Berlin, Sept 29.-Newspapers, par
ticularly those of Moabit, which city
has been racked by strikers riots dur
ing the last three nights, today called
upon the authorities to use Iron and
blood" as a treatment to prevent fur
ther outbreaks. The rioting of the
last night was the worst in years.

their injuries. Four American news

For two days this district has been
the scene OF grave riots. Hundreds
of persons have been injured and
pitched battles between strikers and
their sympathizers and the police have
occurred.
AS result of the severe repressive
measures scores of persons, some of
them mere passersby, were bruised
or wounded yesterday evening. The
correspondents of Reuters Telegram
company, the New. York Times, the
New York World and the New York
Sun were among the victims, while
watching the progress of the events
from a motor car. The police swept
down upon them with drawn sabres
apparently without provocation.
In spite of the strictness with which
the eordons were maintained, the
strikers and their sympathizers held
meetings at the street corners which
in several instances caused blood
shed ..,.
The police charged furiously and
beat down the workmen on every
side. In this way they rode through
Emdenerestrasse and Turmstrasse,
which were blocked with excited
crowds. Traces of the police charges
were left in the dozens of persons ly-
ing severely wounded on both Sides,
Several thousands marched in pro-
cession through the little Tiegarten,
carrying red flag. The police DASH
ed at full gallop among the parader..
cutting down and riding over them.
1t is estimated that at this place
alone more than 100 were severely
wounded.
The police were greeted everywhere
with shouts of "bloodhounds." This
only served to incense them and they
charged repeatedly. Lively skirmish-
es continued late into the night, but
at midnight comparative quiet pre-
vailed.
