Howl of Federal Brigade

The cry raised in Arizona against
the referendum is confined almost
exclusively to federal and territor-
ial office holders, and it will have
little or no weight with the voters
of Arizona.
While they are SO loudly denounc-
ing the referendum, the republicans
of Nebraska have placed it in their
state platform, and James A. Gar
field of Ohio tried to insert it in the
Ohio republican platform. This
shows that it is not a very danger
GUS measure to even republicans,
but it might be remembered that
the Nebraska and Ohio republicans
are not ALL federal appointees.
Thus it is that the Arizona bread
and butter brigade turn their guns
upon the creeds Of democracy. -

Greeley Dodued Lincoln.

President Lincoln, having been often
and severely arraigned In the New

considered his slowness In prosecuting
the war, had said: 'If he (Greeley) OBJ.

have him state to me his views frank.

"1f l were to CO." said Greeley wheS
the words were repeated to him, "bs

fingers, as he always does"
"Llncoln's smile would wilt me In

casion when again urged to see the
president and have talk with him.
HE Is a wonderful man-wonderfull

Arizona

0, Arizona! Thou tawny, thorny
land,
Of devilish things and blazing sand:
Where things most choice, and trash
accurst,
With equal plenty are disburst;-
Where best on earth, and all earth's
worst,
Have marshalled here to here dis
band,
And gloat with chaos on the sand.
And yet: thine hot old cataclysmic
hills
A realm of wealth and splendor fills;
Nor dreams of Spanish glory old
Might count to Arizona's gold:
Shimmering on in myriad rills;
Or clinking, aye, in lordly tills.
Spain's dreams Of conquest and of
gold,
Writ high in chivalric story old,
Were childhood's pictures on the
SanQ
To wonders real in this strange land;
Nor mortal yet has been SO bold
To conjure hell to have them told.
Ten thousand thousand focks are
thine
Of horse and sheep and lowing kline;
With pond'rous mills of gods and
men;
With homes and farms in vale and
glen;
With choicest fruit and grain and
wine;--
Aught man may grow, or build, or
mine.
0, Arizona! Thou eternal land of
wonder!
Creations boarded geologic blunder!
Thou well may'st knock at state
hoods gate;
And take the sovereignty of state,
In place almighty firm of stock,
AS that built down from Plymouth
Rock.

Emphatic

In the July Worlds Work begins
the autobiography of Alexander
Irvine, who is now lay preacher in
one of the New York churches. Mr..
Irvine is an Irish socialist; he was
born in a poor and ignorant family,
enlisted in the army to learn to
work, was converted" and went
about preaching his experience.
Since coming to this country he has
won great reputation as a social
thinker and as a stirring orator.
Il bounced into the alley one Sun,
day morning." writes Mr.. Irvine in
his first chapter, "whistling a Moody
and Sankey hymn.
Shut up yer mouth! said my
father.
It's a hymn tune,' | replied.
"I don't care a damn! replied
my father. ITS the Lords day,
and if | hear you whistlin' in it, I'll
whale hell out O. ye!"
That was his philosophy, and he
lived it."

The Cost of Living

A young lady who taught a class
of small boys in the Sunday school
desired to impress on them the
meaning of returning thanks before

William, what is the first thing
your father says when he sits down
to the table?'
He says, Go slow with the but

The Republican Platform

The platform adopted by the re-
publicans of Graham county is a
freak to say the least. 1t gives no
assurance whatever that the in
terests of the people will be taken
care of in the constitutional con-
vention, instead it starts off with an
Endorsement of President Taft and
Delegate Cameron, and then under
different headings practically aligns
the party in favor of everything
that the corporate interests want.
Nothing whatever is said of the
initiative, referendum and recall.
These propositions, of vital impor-
tance to the people, are eliminated.
1t declares in favor of direct pri-
maries and the election of United
States senator's by popular vote.
1t also favors state wide prohibi-
ton and equal suffrage to women,
not as part of the constitution, but
to be submitted at separate elec-
ton.
The platform appears to be a
massive aggregation of meaningless
words that convey nothing and will
be hard to explain.
It's only good features are those
that declare for direct primaries
and the election of United States
senators by popular vote.

Democratic Convention

The democrats of Graham county
assembled in convention Saturday
and prepared the way for victory
for their delegates by adopting a
platform that is progressive and in
line with the best thought of the
people of the entire country.
In perfect harmony with the
principles of democracy, the Gra-
ham county democratic convention
declared for a platform that will
elect their candidates as delegates
to the constitutional convention and
help swell the democratic majority
that will control and write the
fundamental laws of the new State.
1t is getting close to the people
when declarations are made for laws
that will give them the right to de-
termine on questions of legislation,
and prevent the enactment by leg
islatures of laws made in the inter-
est of corporate powers and politi-
cal machines.
The adoption in the platform of
the initiative, the referendum and
the recall, and the election of five
delegates pledged to see that these
democratic principles are written in
the constitution, is convincing ar
gument that the democratic party
is the party of the people and that
the interests of the people will be
safe-guarded by constitution that
will protect the people from the
domination and control of corpora.
ton rule.
The initiative and referendum
will give to the people the power tc
propose laws and amendments to
the constitution and to enact or re,
ject the same at the polls indepen'
dent of the legislative assembly, and
also the power to approve or reject
at the polls any act of the legisla'
ture. Thus giving into the hands
Of the people full power to take
care of their own interests at all
times and prevent the enactment OF
bad laws.
There is no doubt but that these
laws will be submitted to the peo.
pie as part of the constitution if
the democratic party is given the
right by the people to write the
constitution. There is every rea.
son to believe that they will not be
submitted to the people if the re-
publican party is allowed to organ
ize the constitutional convention.
Each and every candidate of the
democratic party of Graham county
stands pledged to vote for these
laws, and the people will undoubted-
ly elect the entire democratic dele
cation at the polls on September
18th, and Graham county will once
more assert itself the banner demo
cratic county Of Arizona.

PASADENA METAL STRIKE
AN ENDURANCE CONTEST
Union Members Receiving Liberal
Benefits from Organization

PASADENA. June 5.-The strike sit
uation in the metal trades here has
apparently settled down to question
of endurance. officials of the Reli-
ance Machine works claim to have
enough non-union men coming Mon
day to fill places vacated by strikers,
while C. w. Wishart of the Pasadena
foundry declares that none of his men
have struck and that he has no fear
of their laying down their tools. Off
GERS of the union are confident of win
ming their demands for an Increase IN
pay, according to statements given out
last night. They are paying liberal
strike benefits to those who walked
out and declare that instructions to
the strikers to commit no violence have
been needed. They claim to be pre-
pared for a long struggle if such is
necessary.
Reports that violence had been
threatened have simmered down to the
statement of one employe of the Pas
adena foundry who said "he feared a
heating"

PETITION IS FILED
FOR REFERENDUM

amended petition with the city clerk
yesterday just two minutes before the
office closed for the day.
An earlier petition, filed by the same
men and for the same purpose, was
declared insufficient because of a tech
nical error in verifying the signatures
it bore. The present document, how
ever, is correct as to form 1t is in
forty-eight sheets, containing about
sixty names each, which gives total
Of approximately 2S30 names. There
were 29S valid names on the first petit
ton. The law requires per cent of
the vote for mayor cast at the last
election, which is 2612.
TEN DAYS TO VERIFY
The city clerk now has ten days in
which to verify these signatures. At
the end of that time he must report
the result to the city council, which, II
the petition is found to be sufficient
can either repeal the ordinance which
operates to deprive the petitioners OF
their position, or can refer the matter
to an election, either a special election
called for that purpose or the next gen.
eral election. In either case, however,
the ordinance will be imperative until
it has been approved at the polls, and
until then the men will continue to hold
down their jobs.
The men concerned are park watch
men, and according to the park COM
missioners, have nothing to do but to
stand around and talk to the park
workmen, thus interrupting their work.

the filing of the first petition, which

ruling of the city attorney, who has
held that Sunday must be counted as
one of the ten days allowed by law in

the last day on which such filing could
be made.

sure that If they win the battle union
ism will be placed on firm footing In
the city.
An Organization" meeting was held
by the Merchants and Manufacturers
association in the Wilcox building last
night for the purpose Of STRENGTHENING
the forces with which the metal trades
strikers are to be met. With the Mer-
chants and Manufacturers in the meet
ing was the Founders and Employers
association.
One of the chief objects of the meet
ing was the consideration Of plans for
the protection of the smaller machine
shops affected by the strike, which do
not maintain foundries and which
therefore are not now eligible for mem
bership in the Founders and Employers
association. Committees were ap-
pointed and it is possible that these
smaller shops may be taken into mem
bership. At any rate, steps will be
taken for their protection.
ENTRIE COUNTRY INTERESTED
While the employers realize they have
q fight before them they feel that their
opponents, the striking workmen, have
small chance of accomplishing their
end. The employers are determined to
Weld no ground. 1t Is their opinion
that the present strike is being watched
by the whole industrial world, and they
are resolved to prevent the union move
ment from gaining in Los Angeles. At
last nights meeting positive asser-
tion of such principles was made by
all of the employers.
Los Angeles is the only city of any
consequence which has not yet been
invaded by unionism,'' said H. Baker,
secretary treasurer of the Union Tool
company, last night THE union forces
of the entire country are directed to-
ward the city now. But we are power
full enough to withstand any attack"
Fred l.. Baker, president of the Ba-
ker Iron works, expressed the inten-
tion of his company to stand absolutely
for the open shop and to consider with
no seriousness the demands of their
striking workmen.
At the Metal Trades headquarters in
the Union Labor temple last night it
was stated that fifty men dropped their
tools yesterday, sixteen boilermakers
leaving one shop alone, the Pioneer
Boiler works, which, it was said, is
so seriously crippled that it will have
to close. Twelve hundred men are now
out altogether, it is claimed,
A plan to enlist the building trades
will not be resorted to until it is seen
that 1t is necessary The building
trades, it was said, is the best organi-
zed body in Los Angeles. If it takes
part in the strike many men employed
by contracting shops will quit work.
sTRIKEBREAKERs NOT EXPECTED
Business is too good in the east"
said E./H. Misner, one of the organi-
zers, last night when asked what he
thought of the probability of strike
breakers being brought to Los Ange-
les. Men back there are paid too
well and jobs are too plentiful They
will not come to Los Angels to work
for the meager wages paid here"
A mass meeting of the strikers will
be held tomorrow night at the Union
Labor temple by order of the general
strike committee. Stewart Reid and
other organizers will address the meet
ing.
