SMITH STAKES ALL ON THE NEXT
ELECTION.

If ex-Gov. Smith is a candidate for
governor this year he stakes his entire
future political career on the results
Of the campaign. There can hardly be
any question as to that. 1t is a case
of a man putting his entire fortune on
the table and Lazarding it on one throw
Of the dice The right throw and ev-
erything is before him in roseate col
I ors. The wrong throw and he is a
ruined, beggared man.
| How can it be otherwise? Ex-Goy
/ Smith, it is true, is somewhat of an
exceptional man But tie last de-
feat was a severe jar to his ambition
and a second defeat on top Of it would
be so calamitous that he could never
hope to overcome the effects. Defeated
at the polls again by Governor Brown
his influence will be shattered his
/ powerful hold on a large element of
Georgians broken for good, and he will
be shelved from future political con
Istderation.-
A man who has been twice consecu-
lively defeated for governor could
hardly hope to aspire for a senator
ship with any reasonable assurance of
success. Discredited twice by the
people of his state it would really be
an effrontery for him to present him
self as candidate to succeed Clay or
Bacon. Nothing so disheartens and
disintegrates a political following al
successive defeats, and when the fol-
lowing is more or less hysterical in
its temperament the chilling influence
of failure is even more keenIy appar-
ent.
There is no doubt that the ex-Goy-
ernor appreciates this. He is hardly
to be blamed for endeagor ng, through
his lieutenants, to have a compromise
candidate selected, to avoid, if possible,
putting his political fortunes in the
balance at this juncture, hazarding
his entire career on the result of n
campaign in which, to say the least
his chances are no more than even
and generally regarded as below par
Defeated this year in the coming
primary ex-Gov. Hoke Smith is down
and out for good. Elected, he would
still have to fight for the senatorship.
although his prospects would naturally
be increased by his success in the
gubernatorial campaign. Keeping out
of the race at this time he takes no
chances, retains the position he now
occupies. and can devote his efforts to
Strengthening himself in the Iegisla-
tue and before the people generally.
No wonder that as an astute polite
ian he dislikes to take the plunge.
Yet the indications are that circum-
stances viii force him into the fight
And with his future career In jeopardy
Hoke Smith can be depended on 10
give the state one Of the Iiveliest cam
paigns it has had in many years.

HARD WORK THE BEST TRAINING.

About the best thing that Jeffries,
the great prize fighter. has said in his
autobiography, is that hard work is the
best of all training, that the life Of
the iron worker or the sailor or the
farmer is a better equipment for the
prize ring than the exercises that one
gets n the gymnasium.
Jeffries probably knows what he is
talking about. The great stars of the
ring did not get their muscular
strength and tremendous powers OF
endurance in gymnasiums Nearly all
of them have been blacksmiths, or
longsHoremen, or otherwise engaged
in some daily avocatton where they
INDUCED in long hours of hard and
incessant labor, with ample fresh air
filing their great lungs at all times.
To such men the gyms, useful though
they undoubtedly are would be stilted
places in which to seek TO store up
vast reserve forces of strength and
energy.
Many men who content themselves
with little exercising in gymnasiums,
or at home with dumbbells or Indian
clubs, would be vastly better off
physically if they would give a reason
able time to digging in the garden, 10
chopping wood, or to other forms OF
actual work that accomplish some
thing. And if a man has small
farm where he can turn in and dc
some actual labor he will undoubted-
" soon find that it discounts artificial
exercises so far that there is no con
s'dering them in the same class. Says
Jeffries on this subject:
Working on a farm is very good
because il is all out in the sun and
wind. and there's nothing else like
sunshine and fresh air for an athlete
of any kind. The best example of this
1 can give, however isn't the case
| of a fighter, but a wrestler. Franz
Gotch who became worlds champion
on the mat through beating Hacken-
schmidt a marvellous gymnasiUm-built
man, is one of the finest men physical
/ ly that l ever saw. He is surprisingly
/ strong. Some people think ne got al
| Of his development through wrestling
| as he has matches or exhibitions al
short intervals. But he was brought
/ up to hard work in the country, and
| even after becoming a contender
among the champions he always weni
/ out taSSsSs~ arm in Iowa to prepare
for eF7 S. He has often taken
| ''FarWrr" Burns and other famous
wresffgrs with him, and he makes
/ every man in the camp do more work
at pitching hay than on the mat
Farming interests me as a training
| proposition, for l had lot of it my
self as boy, and. later on, as cham.
! p;on of the world, with no more men
| at the time fit TO give me a fight,
! bought a big alfalfa farm and spent
/ two of the healthiest years of my life

and rope-skipping and boxing in the

Plans For Planting
 Big Acreage of Beets
In the Belief That They Will Give Larger and Quicker Returns Than
 Grain or Alfalfa.

The Queen Valley Development com pany. embracing in its association a good share of the ranchers in the Hig- ley district now being developed, is contemplating planting from 1000 to 20O0 acres of sugar beets this spring The arrangements are purely tenta- tive so far. but the company has talk en up the proposition with the agents of the Southwestern Sugar and Land company. who operate the Glendale factory. and believes now that satis- factory conclusions can be reached.
 The Queen Valley people are inclined to favor sugar beets over grain or all .falfa. for they believe that therein lies larger and more immediate profit. And the financial status of most of the hOmesteaders in the we'll drilling part of the Higley district is such as to render a large income par ticularly gratifying. For the expenses incident upon sinking wells to a depth sufficient to insure an adequate flow of water are naturally very heavy. and they fall with acute force on those who have had heretofore no revenue on their land.
 The efforts of the Queen Valley De- velOpment company, which means sim ply an association of ranchers cOmbin- ed personally and financially to give mutual aid in sinking wells and inn proving the district. have been some what retarded in the past through misunderstanding of one sort or an other All the members are pulling together nicely now. however. and with the probable addition of a few more stockholders a bright future for the community enterprise is foreseen.
 But the drilling outfit which in it. self represents an outlay of several thousand dollars is not yet fully paid for. Hence the turning toward sugar beets. This is not to be taken to mean that the homesteaders are any where near the end of their resources; they simply wish to create these said resources as we'll as to expend them. In the event of beet culture on as lib- eral scale as that above indicated it is not likely that large grain fields in the Higley districts will be con- spicuous for their presence.
 So far as is now known. a thousand or So acres will constitute the largest beet planting on the south side this year It will be. in fact. as much as the sugar company itself is figuring on planting.
 The Higley ranchers will have decided advantage in disposing of their crop to the factory by reason of the near proximity of the railroad.
 The community will shortly be en- larged by the addition of several new settlers C. A. Riggs of Los Angeles. T. H. Dobson of ontario. Calif.. and A. G. Gaffl1ee will all be in the dis trict within a couple of weeks. and c. Cook of Seattle has been looking the ground over with a view to mak- ing his home there.

 A Young Chauffeur
Lloyd Miller, Aged seven, Knows a
 Good Deal About an Auto.


 Tempe may properly boast of hay ing in it's midst one of the youngest chauffeurs in the country. The per son who lays claim to this distinction is Lloyd Hayden Miller. aged seven, son of Mrs. Albert Miller.
 Saturday afternoon Lloyd had clam ored for use of the Miller Reo car The car was not in good shape and the boys brother. Halbert. who knows something about autos. declared that before it could be put in commission again new carbureter was neces- sary. He jokingly remarked to the lad that if he could get the machine to run. he could have the use of it.
 In an hours time Lloyd had the car in good working order He picked up boy friend and together they took two mile spin in the country Re turning to town. the supply of gasO- line ran out but was replenished at the Mercantile whereupOn the two youthful operators returned home in the car. making all turns and passing through the gates without hitch Mrs. Miller had not noticed the ab- sence of her son and her surprise at his enthusiastic recital of events can be Well imagined.

Loag Motor Trip To
 See One Days Flights
Four Ladies From Douglas on Their Way Home Again in Their Auto.

After motoring all the way from Douglas to Mesa, four ladies compris- ing an automobile party. not aided or abetted by any one masculine. were almost too late for the feats of avia- lion which they had traveled so far to see. They saw q part of the big show Saturday and today are facing the desert and the rocks and hills on their homeward way The party consisted of the following women. all we'll known in Douglas social circles: Mrs. Stella Morrison. the Gwr.r of the car; Mrs Luella Peterson, Miss Hutchinson, and Mrs. Flora Jacobs. who chaperoned herself and the others. Mrs. O. Byers started with thea. but became i'll at Benson and returned to her home
 Under the captaincy of Mrs Nor rison. who acted as chauffeur. the four of them tuned up the big Mitchell touring car and pulled out of Douglas last Wednesday. Being naturally some what cautious the ladies encountered no accident. and made the run of 256 miles into Mesa in 25 hours.
 This caution was further manifested in the fact that the party did not travel at night. They managed in each instance to gain some sheltering town when darkness began to gather and stayed at hotels. preferring not to camp out on the desert or run the car all night as rude and reckless men are prone to do. Wednesday night they stayed in Fairbanks. Thursday night in Tucson and Friday night in Mesa.
 They stayed the rest of the nights in Mesa. too. for when they reached here and heard that prizes were being offered in Phoenix for the persons who could successfully catch room a bed.

In the meeting the plans for the summer resort will be fully re- viewed so that every one may have an adequate understanding of just what the leaders of the project have in mind. The movement is beginning to take definite form and Is arOusing wide interest among the people of this community. As soon as the grading Of the road commences committee will be sent from Mesa to the resort site-to "Pineair" in fact-for the purpose of appraising the lots, which will have been surveyed and plated prior to that time. The money which each shareholder pays in for stock will apply on the purchase price of lot

A Woman Attifed
 In Mems Clothing
FORFEITED A sas CASH BAIL.
She and Her Male Companion De
 parted During the Night.

Quite a commotiOn was caused in Tempe Saturday evening by the arrest Of woman who was masquerading in the costume of a man. The woman was picked up in the Cafe Togel by Constable Estrada. Attention was first attracted to her when she asked for drink at the bar. To Mir. TOgel she looked too young to pass the city ordinances covering such matters and he expressed doubt at her having at tained her majority. After some dis cussion, the woman stated that she was plenty old enough to have a drink and was moreover a woman. Her at tempt at the deception of her sex was rather poor. She was attired in over al.s. a dark blue shirt. no coat. and a soft felt hat IL required little more than a second s look to tell that she was not a man. Constable Estrada was in the saloon at the time and it appeared to him that he should take q hand in the proceedings. He forth with arrested the woman and escorted her tO the office of the justice of the peace. A man was with her at the time and he imposed some objection to the constable's action. However. a few words convinced him that he had best refrain from interference. He accompanied the constable and his prisoner to the office. however. as did a gOodly gathering of spectators.
 Arriving at the office, Justice of the Peace Carr and Marshal Brown were both called up. Upon their arrival there was some debate as to what dis position should be made of the case. The officers were firm in their believe that in thus attiring herself. the wom- an had violated both federal and ter ritorial laws. It was the first occasion though on which case of the kind had come within their observation so they had difficulty in finding any ref erence to such a situation in the stat utes. With a view to holding the wom- an until the advice of the district at torney could be had, Justice Carr held her under a bond of s25 which was promptly put up by her male com panion.
 The woman gave her name as Jes- sic Reginie and said she had come from Winkelman with the man whose name was not ascertained, This was borne ont by the evidence of Marshal Brown, who about three o'clock in the afternoon had seen the couple drive into town with a six horse team. They camped in the river bed just beyond the Hayden ditch. The woman at that time was dressed as she was when ar rested and the attention of the mar shal was attracted by her youthful ap- pearance.
 During the proceedings the ourt room was filled to overflowing. Every foot of available space accommodated a curious spectator. This condition of affairs worried Miss Reginie and in language more emphatic than choice she thus commented on the size of the crowd: It's wonder some Of you - - - haven't families you could be at home looking after instead of rubbernecking around here"'
 The deposit of twenty five dollars was apparently about all the couple could stand for yesterday they were not in evidence. The camp had been broken during the night and they folded their tents like the Arabs and silently stole away"

Coming Appearance
 Of Sanford Dodge
h Two Plays at the Goodwin Opera
 House This Week.

Every one loves to listen to deeds of such deeds enacted. The more danger ous they are, the more interesting and attractive they become. Thousands of men will sit for hours in a close and stuffy building to see two men, train ed and toughened for their work. en- deavor to pound each other into in- sensibility with padded gloves. Every year hundreds of thousands of the best young blood of our country thrOng to the amphitheater to see their college fayorites struggle for football suprem- acy. and mo one cheers the battered and victorious heroes more enthu- siastically than the ethereal looking so- ciety girl whom one would think would be more interested in music birds or flowers, than in fierce physi- cal struggle where human life and limb are at stake.
 This shows that the love of strug- gle, springs eternal in the human breast" If in our day of effete civil iZation we love to see men fight, how much more intense. how much more fierce the interest must have been in the terrible gladitOrial contests during the time of ancient Rome! There it was. not thickly padded glove and officers of the law standing near tO see that no harm was done. but in stead il was the sharp and deadly Roman sword that fell from the reel ing gladiator's hand as from his bos- om gushed the streak of wasted life.
 Then it was not a mere defeat of college cOlors, but the rending of limb from limb of the magnificent speci- mems of physical manhood by feroc- iOus lions and tigers if for a portion of a second the gladiator's skill prov ed futile. or his nerve failed.
 It is one of these thrilling chapters Of the worlds history that Sanford Dodge will portray in his forthcoming production of Nero. the Glariator." at the Goodwin opera house Thursday of this week.
 Mir. Dodge and his company will ap- pear at the local theater two nights of this week. both Thursday and Friday. On Friday evening the play will be Shakespeare celebrated tragedy "Othello." The accompanying cut is of Mir. Dodge in the title part.
