The Popular Choice of Senators.

Inasmuch as United States senators must be formally elected by state leg islatures, until the constitution of the United States is amended (nearly two thirds of the states have already expressed themselves for the amend ment, however, and its adoption with tainty.) any expression by the peo- pie as to their choice for senator can be only advisory to the legislature It is altogether improbable. though, that any legislature would dare to disregard the moral obligation i'm posed.
 The platform of the Maricopa county republicans is for the selection of United States senators by popular vote-within party lines. of course. The Oregon plan is vicious. This plan requires the legislature to abide by the result of the popular vote, no matter how obtained even to the election of a senator whose political principles are opposed to the major ity in the legislature. So long as the legislature under the law is charged with the responsibility of electing United States senators, the members of the legislature should at least have the privilege of voting for a man of their own political faith-the candi- date who has won a victory in the primary vote of his party.
 The Kansas and California plans, while differing in detail, provide for the selection of senators within party lines. at direct primaries, as the re- publicans propose in Arizona. Thus, in California, while A. G. Spaulding appears to have been the choice of the republicans in the primary cleo tion, he will not be elected to the United States senate unless the re- publicans have majority in the leg islature-and possibly not then.
 The California law is peculiar in that the aggregate vote-counts for

New Stars of the Track.

If the commissioners of the Ari- zona fair succeed in securing some of the new stars of the turf as contes- tants at the fair of this fall. these horses will attract much more than ordinary interest, for the reason that new records have been established by them.
 For instance, there is Hamburg Belle. with the record for the fastest racing mile, and on top of that the record for the best two-heat race, 2.O1H and 2O1%
 The trotting stallion, The Harvester is one of the new kings of the track, with records 2.O4A and 2.O3A in races. the latter record just equalling the famous stallion race record made by Cresceus.
 The seasons pacing record of 2.O1A by stallion in a race was first made by Ross K. at the Detroit meeting, and sevas equalled by Ess H. Kay at North Ransall.

The Significance.

So great are the legal-and other abilities of those eminent democratic leaders, the Hon. Eugene S. Ives of Tucson and the Hon. Everett E. Ellin- wood of Bisbee, that they are en- ployed by the year at princely sal aries by the Southern Pacific and Copper Queen interests respectively.
 The Hon. Eugene S. Ives is the leader of the democratic ticket in Pima county for the constitutional convention.
 The Hon. Everett E. Ellinwood is the leader of the democratic ticket in Cochise county for the constitutional convention.
 Both of these eminent lawyers and democratic leaders are running on platforms of which the distinguishing feature is a demand for the 'fnitia- tive and referendum and the re call"
 The Pima county platform was written by Senator Ives, and he keeps standing in sundry spaces of the Tucson Star this challenge:
 T challenge any man the republi- cans will put forward, none being barred, to meet me in public debate on the initiative and referendum. these are the most important issues of the campaign and should be dis cussed before the people"
 The Cochise county platform, on which the Hon. Everett E. Ellinwood is running, is even more strongly for these "isms" than the Ives platform if possible.
 In Maricopa county the men who are most loudly advocating the 'ini- tiative and referendum" and the re notorious for years as trusted lobby ists at the capitol building for tl Hon. Eugene S. Ives and the Hon. Everett E Ellinwood
 All of which is of significant and special interest for the taxpayers of Maricopa county.

SEITz SAID ID HAVE
 PASSED MANY CHECKS
Police Find Evidence of Business Places Having Accepted
 Worthless Paper.

Tn the arrest of w. l.. Seitz on Sat urday night by Officer Fraley, the po- lice believe they have in custody the man who for the past few days has been passing checks in various busi- ness establishments. which checks have later turned out to be forgeries, and of the rankest sort. That he would have continued his work is evil denced by the fact that when arrested there was found upon his person an other check made out for twenty five dollars and which was in the same hand writing as those which had al ready turned up at two establishments in town.
 It developed yesterday that Seitz had presented a check at the Boston store for s3O. purchasing clothing for the en- tire amount, with the exception of two dollars, which was given him in change. The yellowstone saloon also suffered to the extent of d s20 forged docu- ment.
 The police were notified yesterday that a check made out to Raymond Illicit and purporting to be signed by w. B. Moore, had been accepted by Goldberg's. The check was for $2O. and the man who presented it took $11 worth of clothes and received S9 in cash. While it is possible Steitz may have been connected with this deal, he had not been identified as the one who passed the check yesterday previous to being transferred to the county.
 The police were able to recover the clothing Seitz secured at the Boston store when a search of the mans room was made. While he is supposed to have realized to d considerable extent, less than B was found upon him when he was searched.

Uhlan, another of the new won ders, has made a record of 1.5S% in a race against time, and in the opinion of many is likely to make the long awaited record of minutes in a race.
 Among the green" trotters-horses with no previous records-are Dudie Archdale, 2.O6h, and the stallion Billy Burke. 2.O6%.
 Before the end of the season still other records and still more horses may be added to this years phenom enal list, so that the outlook for ex- ceptional attractions for the territorial fair is the best there has ever been.

Where Equal Suffrage Has Been Tried

In a temperate review of the re- suits of woman suffrage in New
 Zealand, the New York Tribune says: New Zealand has for some time and with much reason been regarded as a sort of social and political eX- pertinent station for the rest of the world. Whether because of it's de- tached and remote situation or be- cause of the not unnatural restless ness and curiosity of comparatively l new and growing communities, or for some other reason, it has given itself to the trial of many inventions, with varying results but generally with some profit to the discriminating ob- | server One of the most interesting 1 and probably not least fruitful of its experiments has been that of votes | for women, granted many years ago, l the apparent results of which are altogether satisfactory to neither the advocates nor the opponents of the system.
 The common objection, that the majority of women do not wish to vote or would not take the trouble to do so. seems to be invalid at the anti podes. There the women vote as generally as the men. In 1908 the percentage of adult males registered as electors was 99.54, and of women 99.76, and figures approximate to these have been maintained for the last dozen years. The percentage of males actually voting has in the last half dozen elections ranged from 69.61 to S4.07, and that of females from 74.52 to S5.1S, the figures sug- gesting a slightly greater zeal for voting among women than among men. It will not escape notice, eith- CT, that the inconvenience and diff culties of voting are somewhat great CT for women in New Zealand than they would be in more settled coun- tries.
 ''On the other hand, the promise that woman suffrage would purify and elevate politics and particularly
 would mean the end of the liquor
 traffic appears to have been con
 spicuously disappointed. The mo-
 license movement may have gained something from woman suffrage, but
 1t certainly has not won that over
 whelming and immediate triumph
 which sanguine promoters expected.
 As for politics in general, it cannot
 be denied that the moral tendency has
 for years been downward. The boss
 and the machine" and their attend
 ant corruption have been enormously
 developed since votes were granted
 to women; whether because of or in
 spite of that fact it would be injudi-
 cious to declare. But the general i'm
 pression seems to be that, on the
 whole, the effect of woman suffrage
 in New Zealand, upon the women
 themselves and upon the body polite,
 has been neutral, neither securing
 important profits nor entailing serious
 evils"
 The experience of New Zealand with
 equal suffrage seems to be the same
 as the states of our Union where it
 has been tried-it has been found
 that little of real good or of real
 harm has been accomplished
 The one incontrovertible argument
 in favor of votes for women is,
 that ethically they should have the
 suffrage-there is no reason why they
 should be deprived of it. And, as
 we have often said before, the
 women will get the right to vote as
 soon as it is made clear that a major
 ity of them want to vote
