when in fact the intention was to shut from the ballot box so far as possible a native element which is largely republican in one or two of the counties, by elimination of which it was hoped to make those counties democratic; further it was purportedly to put stop to the alleged wholesale purchase of vot- CTS by both parties, when no effort had been made at any time by the men advocating enactment to put stop to the purchase of votes by a strict enforcement of the anti bribery laws, some of whom as dis trict attorneys in their various counties had possessed the power to do so; and the act was alleged to be modelled upon the educational qualification in the constitution of the state of Maine, which it was not, through omission of most i'm portant clauses. It was by work ing the Maine subterfuge that there were secured endorsements of the proposed act by prominent repub- licans, who approving the broad principle of raising the standard of the electorate were trapped into endorsement of a measure that in detail is different entirely from the Maine constitution. The trickery perpetrated has had much to do with making the measure odious.
 The following is the provision erected into the state constitution of Maine:
 AMENDMENT xxx" "Educational Qualification of Voters"
 No person shall have the"
 fright to vote or be eligible to"
 "otfice under the Constitution"
 "of this State, who shall not"
 "be able to read the constitu-"
 "tion in the English language"
 land write his name; provid-"
 led, however that the provis-"
 'ions of this amendment shall"
 mot apply to any person pre-"
 vented by physical dis"
 ability from complying with"
 ''its acquisitions, nor to any'
 "persOn gho now hos the righp
 "to gote, nor to any person"
 "who shall be sixty years of"
 "age or upwards at the time"
 "this amendment shall take"
 "effect."
 The penultimate clause in the foregoing, which has been italicised purposely, is the crux of the situa- tion. Had the Twenty-fiflh legis- lature included in the educational qualification act similar clause, then would have been true the allegation that the act was model led upon the constitution of Maine; and in that case native citizens of Arizona, who pay taxes and are educated we'll in Spanish, would not have been disfranchised. It is that vital omission which has torn from Arizona democracy the mask

FREE FROM SHAckLEs.

Two years ago the Republican
party Of Colorado, cut loose from the
Denver utility corporations. The
county committee was reorganized
Two sets of primaries were held.
When the state convention met, there
was a contest. The delegates ected
at the primaries supposed to be con-
trolled by the corporations were
thrown out of the convention, and
the anti-corporation delegates were
seated. Thereafter the corporations
organized Bryan Repub lean" party
and fought the regular organization
throughout the campaign. Their first
object was TO elect a legislature that
would send Charles j. Hughes to the
Senate; their second object was to
elect that other corporation counsel.
John F. Shafroth. as Governor. They
managed to cast something over four
thousand votes at the election. and
that was enough to defeat the Taft
electors and to put in Shafroth as
Governor
The corporations were for the Dem
ocrauc ticket then; they have been
for it ever since: they are for it now;
and they will be fer it as long as Mr..
Hughes is in the Senate.
These are not arguments or opin-
ions: they are cold, hard, incontrovert-
ible facts.
There is no need to demand" that
the Republican party of this state
shall cut loose from corporation con-
tr-l; IL is loose already. 1t is not
tied with any faction in Denver. 1t
simply iemanCs of Denver that there
shall be one delegation to the next
state convention, and no contest on
the floor of the convention; that
there shall be open primaries in which
all Republicans shall be privileged to
participate, and that the result OF
those primaries shall be final The
next state Republican ticket. and the
next state Republican platform. are
to be made by the delegates to the
convention, and not dictated or even
suggested by any secret or outside
control
These also are facts, and it is well
that the people should know them.

THE GLORIOUS FOURTH.

OF the hundreds and hundreds of
eacn years victims. many-the ma
jority. in fact-are little children,
and the day is invariably a day of
mourning in hundreds of homes
throughout the country where death
mas come as a result of the celebra-
tlon.
What is to be done to guard
against a repetition of the fearful
figures which are reported every
year from this cause? What will
lessen the number of deaths and the
greater number of those who are
injured. in many cases permanently?
The answer is simple,-for pa.
rents to watch the children.
1t is a serious matter. These ac-
cidents are limited to no particular
territory. They are as likely to oc-
cur in one city as in another. unless
IT happens to be one where fire
works are forbidden.
The figures cannot be minimized
They cannot be disposed of by shrug-
ging the shoulders. They are facts.
OF last years victims. probably
there were few whose parents did
not know something of what pre-
vious Fourth of July celebrations
had cost. Yet the warning was not
taken, and so the list was again add
ed to.
There are happy homes to-day that
will be desolate. What homes they
wi be. and how many there will be
will depend largely upon what care
parents use in guarding the children
against danger.

AN INSECT MENACE.

Weather like that of the past few
days emphasizes the need of under
taking the campaign against the
housefly. The insect is abroad in
numbers and is as disagreeable and
dangerous as ever.
ut is conceded that it is the cause
of number of cases of illness and
that it carries contagion with it
wherever it goes. 1t is pest to
be guarded against as wei as an
annoyance.
1t is not difficult to keep 1t out of
the house if suitable methods of
doing so are adopted. To screen
windows and doors is not very
costly proposition. and it pays in
comfort as well as health.
Garbage should be looked after
and the surroundings of the houses
kept clean.
With these precautions. the num-
ber of these insects will be con-
siderably lessened.

is no excuse for getting excited a
bout it and calling names or anything
of the kind. Friends and enemies of
the direct system are equally sincere
in their view of it. and those who
oppose it are just as much in favor
of popular government as those who
.avor it. They oppose it for two
main reasons; because it is step
backward from a representative gov
ernment toward the pure democracy
which our fathers deliberately dis
carded: and because they do not be-
lieve it will accomplish the good re-
su IS claimed for it. And there are
differences amcng its friends. In
New York. for instance, the legislature
would have none of the bill which
the Governor favored. and the Gov
ernor would not approve the bill ma
jority favored. Each said the others
law would be worse than nothing So
there may be honest differences of
opinion even among those who be-
iieye in the first principle OF the sys-

A SPLENDID RECORD.

The sixty-first Congress has made
record of constructive and affirma-
tive legislation which is not matched
by the record of any Congress in the
first half of any administration since
the war.
Look at the facts.
The Republican platform pledged
an immediate revision of the tariff
at a special session. That was done.
1t favored a continuance OF currency
reform. and the Monetary Commission
has been at work ever since. Postal
bill has been passed. Further con-
troll of railroads was favored, and
the railroad bill is now a law Re-
clamation work was commended, and
the bill authorizing Withdrawals, to-
gether with the bill for issuance of
certificates to carry on work al
ready begun, has been made law. The
establishment of a Bureau of Mines
was favored, and the law establish
ing such a bureau is already on the
DoOhS. lot New
Mexico and Arizona was favored,
and the statehood bill is now a law.
The only so-called administration
measure" not enacted into. law is
the anti-injunction bill; and as the
practice embodied in that is already
generally followed by the federal
courts. its delay will work no harm.
Half a dozen other good measures
CT Importance were a'so enacted.
The Republican party. as is its
custom. has redeemed its platform
pledges. 1t has carried out the
Roosevelt policies" Search the
records. and you will not find another
Congress since the war in which so
much. or half so much. was accom-
plished during the first half of an ad-
ministration.

TWO NEW STATES.

The signatures of President Taft
been attached to the statehood bill
and ii is now a law-separate state
hood for New Mexico and Arizona.
With the admission of these two
there is not a territory left in the
United States itself. There are still
aska. Porto Rico, the Philippines
and Hawaii, which have varying
forms of territorial government. but
the last one included within the
United States proper has become
state. II is convincing proof OF
the progress which has been made in
settling and developing the great
west.
Like all their predecessors, Ari-
zona and New Mexico give promise
of becoming great commonwealths.
Their area is extensive and their re-
sources greater than many under
stand. For long time they have
been emitted to the statehood just
conferred upon them, judged by the
/ usual requirements Wnlcn nave ueeH
exacted of territories asking for adj
mission.
Their prosperity will probably in
crease now that they have become
states. Such has been the history of
others. at least. 1t is evident with
their land developed as it may be.
they will support a large population
and that the southwest will become
an important section of the nation.
| Ii is aside from the subject per-
haps. and yet this leads to another
related matter.-the tremendous ad-
vance which is being made all over
the United States in the development
I of resources. the better cultivation of
the farms the conservation of the
natural endowments upon which the
prosperity of the nation is found
Cd.
With Arizona and New Mexico
made states, this work will proceed
more rapidly there. and it is fair to
assume that they will take such rank
among other commonwealths as will
show the wisdom of their being ad-
mitted.
