ation about what the people of Ari- zona will do and will not do about their proposed state constitution? No one has ever proposed at any time that constitution for Arizona shall be written at Washington. But the enabling act does say that the constitution that will be writ ten at Phoenix shall meet the approval of the President and the Congress,-just as was the case with the constitutions of Kansas and Nebraska. That is all there is to it.
 Now it would be a great deal more to the real purpose were the Review and the rest of the Kelly syndicate of corporation news papers to give the assurance that is in their own hearts that E. E.. Ellinwood, Ben Goodrich, Eugene s. Ives, Fra nk Cox, and other emi- nent corporation attorneys who will be sent to the constitutional convention by the democratic party in Arizona will see that the fundamental law that will be framed for Arizona, will meet the approval of even Senator Aldrich.
 Whats the purpose of all this talky-talk put out by the Kelly newsapers? Surely an outfit which fought bullion tax of any kind in Arizona ten long years, and then aided in giving the people one that taxes the great mining cor porations but twenty. five per cent of what they should pay, will not stand for anything either radical or revolutionary in the proposed constitution. Senator Aldrich himself would find no difficulty in framing a constitution for Arizona that would suit the Kelly syndicate to a T. And what is more the Kelly syndicate and its allies will take care that the constitution adopted will meet the views of even Senator Aldrich. Then why so much good space given the sub ject. Whats the game?

PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION IN MEXICO.

Sunday the presidential election in the neighboring republic passed without incident or any of the dis turbances predicted so freely by sensational newspaper correspon- dents and reporters along the bor- der. Overwhelming majorities were given everywhere to the candidates for presidential electors pledged to the support of President Diaz and Don Ramon Corral. Upon the tenth of July the electors will meet in their respective states or districts and elect the two distinguished cit. izens named, certifying the result to the proper authority, when that result will be proclaimed in due form and solemnity; and on the Sixteenth of September the choice made last Sunday and ratified in July, will be given visible form in the inauguration for another term of six years of Porfrio Diaz as president and Don Ramon Corral as vice president of the third great est republic upon the face of the earth.
 Sensation mongers among Amer ican newspapers seem bent upon prOmulgation of incredible and ridiculous stories with regard to this presidential election in Mexico. Now the tale is that the opposition manifested was against Don Ramon only, and not against General Diaz; that a majority of the elec- tors selected will not vote for MT. Corral on the tenth of July; but on that day will cast their official ballots for another candidate, who will be elected, proclaimed and inaugurated. One can hardly restrain an expression of inn patience when contemplating assertions so ridiculous. The presidential electors elected in Mexico last Sunday were given a sacred trust which they will dis charge religiously, to elect to the presidency and vice presidency of their republic General Porfrio Dlaz and Don Ramon Corral. As with our own presidential electors In the United States the electors are not bound by law to elect the two candidates for whom they stand, and they can cast their votes tor whom they please. If they desire they can turn down Lon Ramon and elevate another. DO could presidential electors in the United States do likewise. But mas any one any idea what would happen to presidential electors in the United States who would try .O perpetrate so gross a breach of 'Sl'nT We'll, then, depend upon it Vnat something would be doing in "eAico were anything of the kind attempted.

The Omen Primary.

The chief element of uncertainty In
the impending Nebraska primary
grows out of the vicious wide-open
feature that was engrafted on it by the
late democratic Legislature. When
this change was proposed the obiee-
ton to that form of primary as con-
tfasted with what is known as the
closed primary was that It permitted,
If it did not invite. members Of one po-
litieal party to name candidates for an
other political party. and this is ex-
actly what we are now threatened
with.
Instead of appealing to democrats
to make him their party nominee,
Mayor Jim" and his political man
ayers are pleading with republicans to
abandon their own party in the pri-
mary and come across and help him
out. While the open primary per-
mits voter to change party afilia-
tions up to the moment he marks his
ballot, the purpose and intention of
the law is not to let republicans
choose the democratic nominees, or
vice versa, but rather to shield the
voter from the necessity OF disclosing
his party afTiliation.
The law is explicit in this require
ment--thst an elector must vote only
one party ticket in the primary, and
declares in SO many words that put
ting cross-mark in more than one
party column invalidates the whole
ballot. In other words, in asking re-
publicans to help him out Mayor
Jim" is asking them to forego vot-
ing for any republican, and for the
time being to abandon their own party.
We believe that few republicans will
respond to this demand. Republicans
have contests for nominations within
their own party, and it behooves them
to vote in their own party column in
the primary in order to make sure
that the best and strongest candidates
are nominated on the ticket.
This point must be strongly EN-
phasized from now until primary day
that no republican can vote for any
democrat and vote for republicans al
the same time. 1t is for democrats to
settle their own differences and lei
republicans make up the republican
ticket.

The Peace CONGRESS.

Two significant and gratifying
features characterize the International
Peace congress at stockholm-the rep
of Russia and the domi-
mating influence Of the United States,
It was the first congress to which Rus
sia had ever sent delegates, a fact full
of significance to those who have fol-
lowed the course of the cars diplo-
macy. 1t is taken as an indication OF
a new and better spirit in Russia, a
spirit Of greater candor toward other
powers and determined recession
from foreign policies that were any
thing than reassuring to world peace.
If Russia is to be accredited with good
faith---and she will no doubt be given
a fair hearing--then other nations
may afford TO remove the question

Sorting Out the Indians.

The census bureau makes the pre-
diction that by the next decennial
enumeration all Indians in the United
States will be classed as citizens That
is not an idle forecast, but carefully
reckoned statement, for the govern
ment is working toward that end with
persistent effort. 1t is intensely
anxious that the condition be realized
and this gives material weight to the
prediction.
1t was no sentimental impulse that
brought the government long ago to
the conviction that Indians were en-
titled to the rights of citizenship az
soon as they showed themselves
capable, but rather solid conviction
that such graduation was best for the
Indian and the government. 1t was the
only way ever to make anything else
than a nomad out of the aborigine and
SO the government set about to per-
form the task. 1t has made splendid
progress, civilizing and educating the
redman, denying him manly rights no
longer after he demonstrated manly
powers. The one principle has been to
instill sense of responsibility and this
has been the combined effort of the
and allotment system. 1t was
hard task at first. for the govern
ment had to gain the Indians conf
dence and convince him that it was moi
trying to hatch new schemes to trick
him with.
The recent order curtailing the
rations and cutting them off entirely
in some cases is direct application OF
this rule OF making Poor Lo mar
first. 1t has been amply proved that
the Indian, like anybody else, will
work as much as he has to to live and
that work in him breeds industry just
as it does in other people.
Now the government is showing the
Indians that it meant what it said re-
Gently that every one of them who wa.
capable of exercising the rights of &
citizen should enjoy such rights. II
has sent a commission into Oklahoma
to sort out man for man from the
various tribes who measures up to thil
standard of citizenship and endow him
This will not only crafty those who

Two Distinguished Visitors.

Two eminent foreigners are to be
the guests of the. United States, the
sultan. of sulu and General Hermes da
Fonseca, president of the republic of
Brazil In the case of the former his
visit cannot have the same significance
to American interests as that of Presi-
dent Fonseca, though both WILL Of
course, be cordially received. 1t would
be proper, however, to 60 little out
of our way with the Brazilian states
man. This country can well afford to
show him special attention, and the
sultan will have no right to feel of
tended, for 1t is on record that he is
in the habit of taking life habitually
in rather epicurian manner. r,.
The United States should seize this
opportunity to cultivate closer rela-
tons with Brazil. 1t should do SO for
business reasons, as well as for diplo-
matte reasons. Brazil is country of
20 100000 population, making great
progress, prosperous and inviting as a
market for manufactured goods. More
over, it is selling us much more than
1t is buying of us. 1t spends far more
money in Germany and England than
it does in the United States and this
can be attributed to nothing else than
indifference on our part. In closer
proximity to it, we should enjoy the
bulk of trade with it.
In 1909 Brazil sold to the United
States 500. 900. 900 worth of coffee and
other raw products and we sold to
Brazil only $4,000 worth of
finished goods. our imports being Just
five times our exports, which is not
right and not justinable. Cities all

SEGA visits should see to his proper
entertainment and he should be inter-
ested at once in closer trade relations

The Stumbling Of aenins.

Upton Sinclair's proposition to ere
ate a fund for the endowment Of
young authors seems not TO have met
with quite the popular response the
writer evidently expected. Even his
friend, Bernard Shaw. who acknowl-
edges himself to be an eminent writer,
finds fault with 1t. In the sapient
judgment OF MIR. Shaw, one of the
fatal difficulties would be to get trus-
tees or committeeman capable and un-
prejudiced enough to select the best
authors for the endowments. He fears
the tendency would be to select sec
ond best men and then eplains why he
comes to this peculiar conclusion by
citing a bit OF personal experience that
betrays to very good view the most
distinctive side OF the Shaw character
First, Mr.. Shaw begins by admitting
that II, myself, seem an example Of
a man who has achieved literary emf
hence without assistance" but he adds
that he did receive assistance from
wealthy relatives or he could not have
reached the pinnacle of eminence on
which he now finds himself But the
point of his story is that he had five
big novels which no one would pub
fish, and the publishers readers, by
whose advice the books were rejected,
included Lord Morley and George
Meredith, all of which he uses to show
that even when the best authors are
judged by such eminent men as
Morley and Meredith they cannot
safely count on winning the prize.
Mr.. Shaw does not come out and
say that Morley and Meredith
we're envious of his rare talents
and rich promise, but he does say
this: Il can assure Sinclair that pro-
duced on them exactly the same i'm
preston that was young man with
more cleverness than was good for me
and that what needed was snubbing
and not encouraging"
Perhaps it is unfair to Mr.. Shaw,
that, as an author, he has apparently
been judged on his personality rather
than his literary works, but it ia
nevertheless inevitable in such cases
as his and the preponderating chances
are that Lord Morley and George
Meredith were singularly prophetic in
rendering judgment which should in
later years be affirmed by the court
Of public opinion.
If the world is denying itself any
literature of lasting merit by failing
to endow aspiring genius 1t will
doubtless wake up to the fact before
long, but in the meantime it will have
to be convinced Of it's stupid self-sac.

RivaIina Dreams of wealth.

The manufacture Of automobiles has ex-
banded 50 rapidly that the competition of
the manufacturers might have been ex-
pected to bring prices down, but the de-
mand has increased even faster than the
production, so that the prices remain high.
What the profits of manufacture are may
be guessed from the fact that one concern
in Michigan engaged in making medium
and low-priced machines has just divided
among its shareholders a cash dividend of
30 per cent and a stock dividend of 800 per
cent The capitalization has been in
creased from $4,000 to 100000 without
any contribution by the shareholders.
