The speeches OF Senators Cum
Minis and DoIliver at the opening Of
the Iowa campaign shows that the
Iowa idea" which is against the in.
iquitous protective tariff, has become
immensely popular. One thing may
be regarded as certain that the old
republican leaders are reaching the
end of their political reign. The in
surgent republicans have simply re-
fused to longer follow the monopoly
serving leaders of their old party
and this fall in every congressional
district where a stand-pat republican
is nominated hundreds OF these in
surgents will vote for democratic
candidates. Here in Arizona should
the republican nominee undertake to
defend the Aldrich-Payne tariff law
or the standpat republican leaders he
would b., buried under an avalanche
of votes.

THE COPPER
MARKET.

1t must be admitted 1hat the
European copper statistics for the
second half OF April are disappoint-
ing, there having been no reduction
in the visible supply. This is some
what surprising in view of the light
ness OF the expectation from this
side in March and April. and is ex-
plainable only BY a failure of the
demand from consumers on the 9th
er side to maintain itself at the rate
expected. Statistics due next week
will undoubtedly show an increase in
the accumulation on this side Con
sequently the situation viii appear
statistically less favorable at the
end of April than it was a month
previous.
While we are optimistic in a broad
view, especially with respect 10 in,
creasing consumption, it must be
recognized that for the moment the
prospect for the copper market is
inauspicious. Although the worlds
visible supply is proDortionately less
than some previous Accommodations
the existence of a large stock has
/ created a pessimistic popular i'm
preston which apparently cannot be
dispelled. Although manufacturers
may recognize that copper ought to
fetch upward OF I3c. they evidently
are not interested in laying in sup
plies under present conditions. The
outcome will probably be such con
cessions in price by the leading pro
ducers as viii interest spectators in
taking over large blocks Of the ac-
cumulation with a view to carrying
the metal for a long pull After
that the market may be in a posi-
ton for an upward turn. at what
price spectators viii be interested
remains to be seen--E. & NJ. Jour

was willing to let in on a good
thing. The banker has refused to
invest because. as he says, the pro
moter Of the scheme has had no
practical experience in raising geese.
Here are the figures as the would

An investment OF $500 paid in

is three eggs week from each
goose. making 500 eggs q week,
26.S00 a year and for three years
(the life of the company, 100000.
None of the eggs is to be sold. but
all incubated and Matched, and, al
lowing 10000 for bad eggs, there
would be a total of 10000 gosIings.
In three years each goose would
produce. conservatively, three pounds
OF feathers. which at 81 4 pound
would amount to S3OO.0OO. From 1OO.-
600 goose livers would be received
100000. Estimating twenty buttons
from each goose bill, and the prlce
of one cent a button there would be
$4,000 from 100000 goose-bill but

The operating expenses are es-
timated at $4,000 to which should
be added the $500 paid in b. stock

making the total outlay s19G.3o0. The
total receipts. as enumerated would

PUTTING THE FACTS
BEFORE THE PEOPLE.

1t is doubtful whether history re-
cords more seathing arraignment
Of the party in power by its own ad-
] herents than that directed against
the republican party by Senators Dol
liver and Cummins of Iowa in their
speeches delivered at the opening of
the Progressive Campaign" at Des
MONIES. Iowa.
The senators minced no words but
spoke deliberately, fearlessly and
straight from the shoulder. Simon
pure facts. hurtfal as they were to
the standpatters. were set before the
people in all their nakedness.
Senator Dolliver astonished the
large gathering who heard him at
Des Moires by ridieuling the Payne
Aldrich tariff bill and sarcasticalIy
referred to President Taft as "a tit.
ular leader surrounded by people who
knew exactly what they wanted I"
His indictment of Taft and his ad-
ministration could not have been
made more forcible.
Senator Cummins openly and en-
phatically accused the present repub-
lican leaders of being in close al
lance with the corporations of the
country His indictment of the re-
publican administration was equally
as sweeping as that of Dolliver.
1t matters not one whit whether
Senators Dolliver and Cummins we're
inspired to make the speeches they
did because of a desire to serve
faithfully the constituency they rep
resented or were forced into doing
so because of the present plight Of
the republican party, they felt that
the only way TO save their own sena-
torial scalps was to champion the
cause o. the people as against the
interests, says the FL Paso Times.
Their motives need not be taken into
consideration save by the people
electing them. To the rest OF the
country their utterances are all
sufficient.
The incident is all the more strik-
ing because both senators are from
the same state. How the republican
party can dodge the issue in the
face Of such grave charges made by
1 of the calibre and party stand
ing Of Deliver and Cummins is an
interesting subject for speculation.
Senator Dolliver and Senator Cum
Minis may succeed in convincing their
constituencies in Iowa of their deep
sincerity and thus bring about their
reelection to the senate. At the
same time they have performed a
great service TO the democratic party
and by their acts are making smooth
the road for a national democratic
victory

HOUSE STATEHOOD
HAS ARlZoNA'S APPROVAL

Arizona is entitled TO a square
deal in the matter of admission to
the union as a state and it is to be
hoped that a majority of the senate
viii agree to this and pass the Ham
iIton bill which received a unanimous
vote in the house. This bill is the
one demanded by seyenty-five per
cent OF the population of Arizona for
several reasons. II provides for the
admission of Arizona on the same
terms as provided for the admission
OF other western states. II leaves the
qualification of voters in the terri
tory the same as that heretofore
fixed by our legislature and il makes
no provision for the submission of
Arizona's constitution TO anyone for
approval. other than to the president
for decision as to whether it provides
for a state government republican in
form. The senate bill is not only
humiliating TO our people because OF
the doubt carried as to the fitness of
our people for statehood. but il an
nuls the laws in this territory which
were enacted for uplifting and purify
ing our elections. II strikes down
our educational qualification law and
also destroys the direct primary law
which has become so popular not
only in Arizona, but in very state
where it has been enacted.
The Hamilton bill. as it passed the
house has been approved with much
applause in Arizona and this just
measure no doubt been enacted
months ago had not a few republi-
can politicians from Arizona inter
fered with its progress by an attempt
10 play the political game at the
expense of delay of self government
if not its final defeat. Delegate Cam
eron has been appealed to BY promin-
ent republicans in Arizona to do all
in his power to have enacted the
Hamilton bill as more preferable to
Arizona than the senate bill.
The republicans in Arizona who
favor the house bill could do much
to hurry the coming of statehood
bill if they would call on republican
senators by letter and by wire to
support the Hamilton bill. The pass
age of the house bill in the senate
would end our long fight for state
hood with victory at last, while #
the senate demands the Beverage
bill it means a return of that meas
ure to the house and then the IN
certainty Of the conference. Every
democrat in the senate stands ready
TO cast his vote for the Hamilton bill
and it is to be hoped that sufficient
number of republican senators win
be found willing to support the more
lust and fair. statehood measure.

ANOTHER LESSON
 FUR FAIRBANKS

At the request of several cit izens of Valdez a meeting was recently called at that place by the Valdez chamber of com merce to organize concerted movement to exploit the gold discoveries around Valdez bay. It was pointed out that results at the Cliff mine and the dis coVery of numerous promising lodges not yet developed indi- cate that Valdez bay is surround ed by gold quartz deposits of high grade.
 It was stated that the capital which is coming steadily to Alaska for investment in mines was going to those regions that advertise or from which promot- CTS go out to tell what they have and a good deal more.
 Large sums have come into Alaska this year to exploit gold properties that have less to rec ommend them than the Fairbanks district; but we have yet to hear of any concerted movement be- ing taken by the Fairbanks chamber to further the interests of this locality. It is time local business men bestirred them selves in the matter.

 Each of these factions pre- tends to ignore Wickersham, al though he is far and away the strongest man the party has at the present time.
 Taking everything into con sideration the prospects of the Republican party were never poorer than they are at present, but as great Democratic vie tory is assured in any case, it does not matter much who is chosen to lead the Republican party to defeat next August

DID CUCCS BR|BE
 JURORS?

During the hearing of the tes- tlmony before the sub-COmmit- tee of the senate judiciary com mittee inquiry relating to the discharge of Boyce and Suther- land, II. J. Douglas stated that seventy thousand dollars was expended by the Guggenheims prior to and during the trial of Ed Hasey for the entertainment of jurors. This is the sum which Boyce and Sutherland claim was expended for the cor ruptiOn of jurors and witnesses.
 Other testimony of so start ling a nature was introduced that Senator Nelson, as chairman of the committee, twice admOnish- ed all present at the close of the hearing to divulge nothing of an executive nature. He said the evidence tended to show tampering with justice and he deemed it advisable that all evi- dence should be kept secret un- til placed before the judiciary committee.
 Owing to the instructions of Senator Nelson to the commit tee not to divulge anything of an executive nature, all kinds of rumors are afOat connecting Capt. Jarvis, treasurer of the Guggenheim companies, with

BRIBERY IN ALASKAN COURTS

The investigation of bribery in Alaskan courts should be car ried on without delay. The pre- siding judge of this division should request the attorney gen eral to allow him to name a fearless United States marshal to assist in bringing the matter to the attention of an honestly drawn grand jury so that justice shall prevail. The charges read at the mass meeting are too grave to longer stand idle.

THE, LOSING SIDE

The division of opinion among the leaders of the Republican party in Alaska is emphasized by the number of candidates already in the field. Instead of having 8 general Alaskan policy they are split up into local fac tions, each with it's own candi- date.
 What effect this will have up- on the rank and file of the party remains to be seen; but already there are signs of disintegration which are sure to spell ruin for the Republicans at the polls. The local organs of the Repub- lican party insist that the dele gate must be a Tanana man; the people of Juneau are just as insistent that the candidate be chosen from the Southeastern Alaska coterie; while the bus ting new Guggenheim village of Cordova is also putting for ward candidate.

SELF-GOVERNMENT

Those who are opposing the grant of home rule for Alaska do not hesitate torcsOrt to gross misrepresentation of facts to aid them in their campaign The reported trouble in the Yukon territory is a case in point. Be cause the outs there have been deprived of their oppor- tunity for graft, they are crying out for another election, and their action has been made an argument against home rule for Alaska.
 Such absurd reasoning is hardly worth notice, but it shows to what lengths a trust paper will go in order to serve the predatory interests.
 Home rule for Alaska is not being asked as a favor, but as a right. There is no doubt at all that Alaskans are more cap able of governing themselves than are many states in the union, and that being the case it is a manifest injustice to foist upon this territory a system of government which is repugnant to the instincts of it's people The commission form of govern ment may be very we'll adapted to the Philippines and to sub ject races, but it is out of place in a country settled almost en- tirely by white men and women posing a high degree of intelli- gence
 Home rule is the only way to settle the Alaskan question, and until that is granted this coun- try will be at the mercy of the big corporations, who are always ready to loosen their purse strings to subvert Washington politicians. AlaskRns are far more likely to get a square deal from Alaskans than they are from carpetbaggers nominated by the trusts, and for that req son, if for no other, the cOmmis- sion plan should be rejected, and a full measure of self-gov- errment insisted upon.

WAKE UP

A visitor to Fairbanks has re marked that the business men of Fairbanks are the slowest of any in Alaska, and that even little places like Seward, Val dez and Skagway show more public spirit than does the me tropolis of the Panama.
 If this is actually the case and judging by the masterly in activity of the local chamber of commerce we have no reason to doubt it-it is time that some action was taken to intuse a lit tie more ginger into local com merCiai enterprises.
 1t is not that the business men of the Tanana are deficient in the qualities that make for sue cess in trade; nor that they are really indifferent as to whether trade stagnates or iourishes in this center; but 1t seems that there is a lack of energy in their methods, and a disinclina- tion to take the initiative in any matter which has for its object the betterment of the town con- mercially.
 In these days of competition and expansion, a city which does not advertise is likely to get left in the race, while it's less veal thy hut more energetic rival forges ahead, and becomes 8 place of some importance.
 There is always Q large amount of capital awaiting investment in any enterprise which gives promise of fair returns; but in order to make this capital avail able for local enterprises it is necessary that our resources should be properly brought to the notice of the investing pub lie.
 The most approved method of doing this is through the agency of the local commercial bodies, and a vigorous publicity scheme fathered by the Fair banks chamber of commerce would be certain to produce sat isfactory results. There is no part of Alaska which offers greater inducements at the pres ent time for the investor: but at present the investor is quite un- aware of these opportunities, and will remain in ignorance indefinitely unless some con certed action on the part of the Fairbanks businessmen is taken.
 A very largo number of pos sible investors will be visiting Alaska this summer, and the amount of benefit which the Fairbanks community will gain therefrom depends in a great measure upon the activities of the chamber of commerce. A business community without an active commercial body is doom. ed to extinction.
