The or year congressional campaign
Of 1854 is. perhaps. the most interesting
in the whole course Of our political his
tory. since it gave birth to the republican
party. which ever since has ruled the ma
ton, with the exception Of two years in
the second Cleveland administration, when
the democrats controlled President, Sen
ate and House of Representatives. The
lffrst republican victory was achieved
without the aid Of a party name, a party
platform, political organization or, a
national campaign. 1t had none Of the
adventurous aids of machine manipula-
ton 1t was great 'ground-swelr' of
public opinion in opposition to certain
specific measure of the administration
and the congressional majority. 1t was
the first time that new political party
won a national election in the first year
of its existence, but it did accomplish
that very thing, although the members
chosen were grouped under the heading
"Anti-Nebraska," and many Of them for
a time declined to be called republic
ans"
Clay and Webster effected the compro-
mise of 1850, by which California was
admitted as free state, and by which
many great CONCESSIONS were iiduc " lHo
slavery interests. including the right of
New Mexico to decide for itself whether
it would be free or slave territory. The
compromise of 1850 was originated by a
southern slave-owning whig, Clay, under
the aegis Of southern slave-owning
whig President, Taylor. Taylor died while
the discussion was in progress. The COM
promise found its chief defender in Web
ster, northern whig, and the fugitive
slave bill passed under its terms was
signed by Willard Fillmore, another north
ern whig. Although the compromise up
and slave states in the Senate, California
being free. the conscience" wings of
the north looked upon it as a surrender to
the slave power. The southern wings
were rapidly deserving to the democratic
party.

Daniel Webster permitted a boiling fac

What Good Is Father?

Father has always been the goat"
1t was always father who held the
family from the achievement of its So
cial ambitions. 1t was father who
made blunders that put the family to
shame. Father never would take to
the new fashioned ideas. He was
against the domination by the younger
generation, against suffrage, against
women's clubs, against the teaching
of French to the chlidren-in a word,
a natural reactionary. 1t was but nat
ural, therefore, that father should be-
come generally known as back num-
Der, useful only in bringing home mon
ey and writing checks. - Washington

Found Dead in Bed.

J. M. Petty, young man employed by
the Wilson Cypress Co., was found dead
in his bed at the Dixon boarding house
on Kirby street Wednesday afternoon
about o'clock The discovery was
made by one of the boarderS.
Petty had been complaining for two
or three days of not feeling we'll, had
had just slight fever, and had remained
home from work. He didn't think
himself sufficiently ill to warrant medi-
cal aid and therefore did not call doc
tor
But short time before his dead body
was found Petty had been down stairs
mingling with the family and others in
the house, seemed cheerful and had
drank bottle of coco-cola.
DR.. Warren was sent for Immediately
upon the discovery of the mans death
and from the appearance of the body
said heart trouble was the probable cause
of death. The body was turned over TO
F. A. Gerber & Sons and kilograms were
sent to Attapulgas, Ga, from which
point Petty came TO Palatka not long
ago. The young man was apparently
about rs years of age, was well liked by
all who knew him and was industrious.

East Indian MONKEYS,

A naturalist who has Travelled in the
East Indies says: THE effect on the
monkeys Of mans appearance is most
interesting. The expression of their
emotions is certainly almost human as
they sit and stare at him, coughing
and snarling with anger and contempt,
drawing back their heads and throw
ing the hand before the face with
gesture Of adherence and other move
ments indicative Of shocked and out
ragged feelings. But predominant is the
expression of absolute horror, which,
coming from those we consider our
still degraded cousins, is to our supe-
riority very aggravating."

Phoenix. May 21 1a1n

Phoenix, May 31. 1910.
 To the Editor of The Republican, Sir: In recent issue of your paper you stated that one of the boy pris- oners in the jail had said that Frank Shindelbower had told him that he. ShindelbOwer. was to get S2.5O per day for every day he spent in prison. Attorneys J. H. Langston and A. b. Leyhe, attorneys for Frank ShindeI- bower. together with the sheriff. Carl Hayden and J. w Spear. called on the prisoners in the jail and they all denied hearing Frank Shndelbower make any such statement The infer ence drawn from the statement in the paper was that the Maricopa County Anti-Saloon league. through it's third vice president, Mir. J. w Canning. was paying the boy for his time during his Imprisonment.
 The Maricopa County Anti Saloon league through Mir. J. w. Canning. has never committed single act that MT. Canning would not tell. under oath on the stand, in the court house or anywhere else. And there is also no truth whatever in the statement. heard on the street or elsewhere. to the effect that Frank Shindelbower was to receive any pay whatever for his time in prison. Every dollar that has been paid out for witness fees by MT Canning has been done by the consent and under the advice of the district attorney, who stated to me. in the presence of a number of wit nesses, that any reasonable sum from Sl.5O to S3 per day as witness fees. the same as would be paid in civil suits. would be perfectly proper and legal. All the evidence was gathered by the Anti-Saloon League of Maricopa Coun- ty for the use of the district attorney's office, because the district attorney said that he had no money for ex- penses in gathering this evidence. I had previously hunted up a man for ranger deputy, to be appointed by the supervisors, whose principal duty should be to see that saloons lived within the law, especially in relation to selling to minors. The board of supervisors. when the application was made by the sheriff. promptly refused to make any such appointment. and would not hear any argument on the question

anticipated There was a fair sized
 crowd. however. and those who were
 present were well rewarded for their
 efforts MT. Chain is not only flu
 ent speaker. but he is a man who
 speaks to the point-no beating about the bush for him.
 He had occasion to criticise the present methods of temperance people on their fight for the abolishment of the saloon Referring back to the campaign in which he ran for presi- dent he said that if the prohibition democrats and the ohibition-republi- cans had voted the prohibition ticket instead of either of the other parties things would have been different Said he: If every man and woman entitled to a vote in the campaign who desired the abolishment of the saloon as well as the prohibition of the manufacture of liqupr had voted for me in that cam paign I would have been elected by big majority. I would have then been the whole thing and would not be here tonight. and by this time it would be a much of crime to manufacture liquor as it is now to make counter Ielt money.
 The speaker pointed out that the so- lution of the liquor problem is organi- zation. Organization" said he, "is stronger than principle The principle in prohibition is recognized and has long been set aside. It is now the method that is to be considered, and organization is what we need. Organi- zation of course is not possible with out first having the principle The speaker illustrated that point in this wise: Tn the organization of a church there must first be principle After the principle is established the church can exist for twenty-five years on ice cream socials" He contended that the principle in prohibition having long been, all that is now required is the proper organization of the forces.
