THE CONSTITUTION
 WILL BE ALL RIGHT

A special dispatch from Wash ington to the Albuquerque Morn ing Journal gives the following in- teresting interview with the Hon. J. c. Adams, of Phoenix, who was on a business visit to the national capital:
 Arizona, said J. c. Adams, who halls from that territory, and is at the New Willard hotel, is destined to become the model commonwealth of the Union.
 There is every element, he con- tinued, to work out even so great an ambition. She has the example of all the others who have gone be- fore as to success and failure. She has people within her domain hail. ing from all of these states who are aware of their shortcomings. There are people in Arizona who have aided in the framing of many con- stitutions and have witnessed their working out and profited by this experience.
 There is the non-success of Cali fornia, next door. the constitution of which has enabled certain inter- ests to dominate her. When Ari- zona comes to making a constitu- tion she will produce something that will be better than the fundamen- tai law of any other states in the Union.
 The class of people who make up the population of Arizona is such as to make this the logical thing. The best, most enterprising, most ambi- tious men in all eastern communi, ties go west. They have pluck. in- itiative, and something of this worlds goods or they would not be able to make the long journey.
 The percentage of college gradu- ates is higher in Arizona than in Massachusetts. They work with pick and shovel in the mines and throw the dia mond hitch oyer the packs that bear chuck for the COW camps. They are graduated again from this to the ownership of mines and cattle ranches. But they make real men, and men make common wealths
 Arizona will be model of intel ligent, educated men, governing themselves in the light of all the experiences of the past.

THE Fl Paso Herald issued a very attractive special edition with it's issue of Jan. 12. The special number is in a magazine form and gives thorough summary of the progress made in the southwest. It is justly called the "Skyscraper Edition. for it gives illustrations of dozen or more skyscrapers now under construction in the fast growing and progressive south western metropolis, Fl Paso. The paper gives comprehensive statistics of dry farming which is being car ried on with a success in various sections of New Mexico.

THE action of President Taft in removing Clifford Pinhcot from the office of chief forester is meeting with the approval of the people in all stations of life and of all political color. The public press has sound ed it's approval of Taft in such terms that Pinchot now looks like a thirty cent guy.

THERE is plenty of room for hundreds of industrious men who desire to engage in dry farming be- tween Williams and the Grand Canyon. The lands can be easily secured under the homestead rights The soil is rich and will produce crops abundantly if properly culti' vated and cared for under the simpl' Campbell system" of dry farming This system of farming without irrigation is successfully practiced in the Estancia Valley and other sections of New Mexico. The con. ditions in the valleys in Coconino county are practically the same, il not more favorable, as those in the far famed Estancia Valley, where dry farming has been going on for the past ten years, and where abou, fifteen thousand contented souls depend for their living from dry farming. The government reports taken as a basis the farmers of Coconino county would have the advantage from the fact that the rainfall here is almost twice as much as it is in the Estancia Val ley. Here it rains frequently during the summer months while in the Estancia Valley the farmers altogether bank on moisture their land receives during the fall and winter months. The blowing is done in the fall in order that the fields may get the benefit of all the moisture that may fall during the winter months. The altitude be- tween Williams and the Grand Canyon is about the same as ip the Estancia Valley. Several who have experimented in dry farming around Williams during the past year or two declare it success be- yond any shadows of doubts. Some of those who have experimented have already filed on land between. this city and the Canyon and will farm their holding this year upon a larger scale. There is no question but they will make good" The business men and others of this city should make every effort to get settlers to locate and build homes in these productive and beautiful valleys. Get the desert once settled up with industrious and intelligent class of dry farmers and it will bloom like a rose. Il will be to the interest of all to get the people to come here and locate and succeed. Let us all work hand in hand and shoulder to shoulder until in few years time we can point our finger with pride to the cozy homes, to the green fields of waving grain, and to the herds of grazing dairy COWS in the green meadows of our prosperous dry farmers.

ALWAYS A
 LOSING CAUSE

With the administration against them the insurgents are likely to make a losing battle. It has hap pened but once in the history of the republican party that senators and congressman have broken with the president and carried the party with them. That was in Johnson's time when the war feeling ran high and the policy of Johnson, an acci- dental president and southerner, had exasperated the north. Even then, though his leadership was re- pudiated, the man escaped inn peachment. Later when Senator Sumner, Senators Schurz and Julian and many other influential repub- lican leaders deserted President Grant and went the way of Greedy, the republican rank and file stood Loyalty by Grant and overwhelmed the ''liberal" candidate with adverse majorities.
 The last previous attempt to get a vote of want of confidence against a republican president was made in 1881, when, unable to control the executive patronage in New York, Senators Roscoe Conkling and Thomas c. Platt resigned from the senate and went back to their stste seeking reelection and letters of marque against the administration. A long fight ensued, but the great bulk of the party stood pat and compelled Conkling and Platt to re- tire to private life. Conkling never emerged and Platt remained in coventry for sixteen years.
 Senators, however powerful, can not prevail against president of their own party in whose integrity and patriotism the voters feel con- fdence. Having elected a president the natural instinct of the party is to stand solidly behind him and keep the organiza ton from going to pieces. They value continued par ty success, honestly achieved, more than any other political considera- ton and far more than they do the personal triumph of any favorite senator. As to the tariff policy they have varying opinions; but no mat ter how crazy the insurgent leaders may get over revision, they cannot induce any considerable number of voters to accept their economic views to go with them to extremes. For change in the tariff no large con- tingent of republican voters will take a course that would be most likely to secure a change of party control in congress and the white house. That is not what they are after. What they would do instead is to undertake the creation of a party sentiment that will express itself in state and national copven- tions and thus bind the president nominated on their platform. Mean while, the Cumminses and Bris- tows, the La Follettes, Nelsons and Borahs have much more cause to fear the political results of war fare on Taft than the president could possibly have.-S. F.

OBSERVATIONS OF
 A CLODHOPPER
By E. z. MARK.

we meet many people strangely afflicted. Two very strange diseases. manifest themselves. namely "Men-
 al Appendicitis" and" Exageratum Coco" In the former disease the symptoms are very manifest in the jealousy at the success of fellow men, tendency to retard the pros perity of another, and constantly presenting the painful slander of another to keep them from their evident possibilities.
 The other is unmistaka ble when once it seizes upon it's victim. He 1t once becomes of a greater i'm portance than "Uncle Joe" himself. He feels that he can handle his fellow men with anything short of brutality, and customarily carries his nose so that the rain mi .,ht enter the nostrils. His steps are firm and generally the foot strikes the ground with pressure of ton to the square inch.
 We find "mental appendicitis" very common among all classes of people, especially so among the working man and the middle man.
 We find two men or two women working side by side or engaged in a business of similar nature. Each watches the other with jealous eyes There may be enough for all, yet greed, jealousy and underhanded work causes one man to attempt to crush the other out, even though he may have more business than he can handle. And in case of man working among his fellowmen he watches for some sign of favor, some chance of promotion on part of fellow workman. He is ready to tear down the rewards of good work and roll in the dust the very possibility of life time that may illumine the horizon of the exist ence of any fellow workman. Ever ready to slur. and cast reflections, and to drag in past mistakes to mar the opportunities of their kindred.
 The results of this terrible malady can be seen best in small communi- ties. when several are undergoing the epidemic.
 We believe that "exaggeratum COCO" is a most serious affliction. It geneIally tackles people who have lived in "poverty flats" and have been employed in most humble employments, and have been sud denly cursed with promotion or a sudden rise in finances.
 Take for instance a stable man, place him as foreman over men similarly employed and note the chonge. He first looks in a mir TOT and pats himself on the head and exclaims, "I am a boss" He feels it in every fibre. He becomes so important that the president of the company must approach with caution lest our hero take offense. We are glad to note that the people thus afflicted have a lack of brains, and in most cases there are spaces in their cupola for rent.
 You can judge the degrees of his former state by the temperature of his importance. If he tears around like skunk bitten Chinaman and issues orders indiscriminately you can safely judge that he gnawed the bones in ten cent restaurant and reclined in someone's wood shed.
 Take the average ignoramus thus noted and give him a little power to dictate and it spells him. You will observe 'snobs" of this specie are materially spoiled and forever ruined for anything except "mock turtle" in life.
 In conclusion beware of these diseases and those afflicted. Re- member the names mental ap- pendicitis" and "exageratum coco"

BRYANTs STORY.

Bryant lived in an out-of-t he-way
cotton mill village He led very
cheerless existence, toiltng from morn
Ing till night and earning only the
naeasre wages of 20 cents a day. His
father was strong, robust man. who
never thought OF how his son, whom
he dearly loved. was growing weaker
and weaker The boy had inherited
weak constitution from his mother,
who struggled with her weakness,
cooking the meals and trying to make
home as pleasant as possible for her
husband and son. The father was the
sort of man who. as he was so healthy
himself, never thought of weakness in
any one else. while his wife was one
OF those meek, gentle women who
would live and die without murmuring,
bear pain patiently, and cause no one
to share her troubles.
4 man who devoted his life to help
Ing humanity came by chance into the
village. He saw Bryant going from
the mill to his dinner, so he walked
alongside him. Seeing how weak the
boy was, he asked him If he would
not like a vacation. Bryant's eyes
sparkled. He had often thought of a
vacation, when he could wander freely
In the woods and fields like those he
saw in the distance. The man asked
him what his name was. SO he said
Bryant Reade. The boys heart warmed
to the man who talked SO kindly to
him,
In the months following the boy did
not forget the stranger, for the man
had awakened q desire in the hoy's
heart. Bryant often dreamed of yaca-
ton and rest,
