Is it any wonder that some old

And the items cited are only fore
runners of what shall happen when
neglect of the home becomes more
rampant.
When mothers are as they were in
the simpler times, the confidants and
advisers of their daughters, the
White Slave traffic will cease to exist
because of the lack of material.
When girls are instructed in the
seriousness of wife and motherhood,
and of the racial differences of every
nation and color, there will be fewer
mesalliances, such as the Bishops

that money can't buy happiness nor
peace, there will be fewer lonely old

MINERS ALLOWED ID REST ON
 SUNDAY

BISBEE, Aug. s.-Notices were filed yesterday throughout the mines of the Calumet and Arizona Mining company by John c. Greenway, the newly elected general manager, that beginning August :, until further advised, no Sunday work will be done by the company in the future except necessary repair and emer- geney work.
 This is an innovation in the Bisbee mining district where the miners have heretofore worked seven days a week. The change is intended to give the men one day week if in the belief that this will result to the mutual advantage of employees and employer by raising the standard of living and thereby increasing the standard of efficiency.
 Whether this move will be fol- lowed by the other mining companies here is not known.

DOUGLAS, Ariz., Aug. (. Is the Copper Queen again to enter active operations in the Courtland copper district9 This is the question that arises out of certain movements that have taken place during the past few days. Dr. Ricketts came over from Cananea Wednesday and was joined in Douglas by James Douglas and Superintendent H. S. Lee, who left in an auto for Bisbee, after holding conference here.
 It was expected that Dr. Ricketts would return from Bisbee to Can anea, but in Bisbee a conference was held, General Manager Walter Doug las, of the Copper Queen, pr. Rick etts. General John Greenway of the Calumet and Arizona, General Man ager W. J. Young of the Great Western Copper eompay of Courtland and others participating. From Bis bee it is reported that after this conference, which included all the big interests identified in the Court land camp, certain officials in the consultation went to Courtland. Just what their mission was cannot be stated, but by many is taken to in fer that the Copper Queen and other interests in the once booming camp may have decided upon some plan of cooperation for active development in addition to that now in progress.
 It will be remembered that little more than a year ago Courtland was boom camp. The Calumet and Ari- zona Mining Company was sinking on the Germania shaft, in the Ger mania Basin, in what is otherwise known as the Leadville canyon. Work

SIMPLY sELFIsEnJEss.

Our Democratic brethren refuse to dwell together in harmony and select a non-partisan ticket for delegates to the constitutional convention. Just what they expect to gain by sucn action is difficult for the general public to understand. The great ma jority want Statehood and are not especially interested in the personal ambitions of the individual, but it is evident that the personal ambitions of a few Democrats overcame their desire to make Arizona a State.
 There are big interests in Arizona that evidently do not want State hood; there is an element in the Democratic party that cares more for their own aggrandizement than for Statehood. In the United States Senate there are a goodly number of Senatrs who do not wish to see two Senators from Arizona-it is not a party issue-it is the East against the West in the matter of representa- tion in Congress. As surely as any reasonable excuse is offered, which they may hide behind, there will be no great State of Arizona.
 Among fair minded men it was pretty generally conceded that a po- Iitical fight would avail nothing, that when Statehood was an accomplished fact, our internal differences could have been fought out on party lines in our own backyard.
 The Republicans in Coeonino eoun- ty-which is conceded by all to be a Republican eounty-have plenty. of good material, men whose honesty and ability are unquestioned. Being a Republican county and the propo- sition forced upon Republicans, they can do no less than put up good men and fight, and fight hard.-COeonino Sun.

FUNERAL OF P. c. ASTON.

(From tuesdays Dally)
 The remains of P. C. Aston, who died in Dewey on Saturday, were in- tered here yesterday. The deceased was v years of age and was a na- tive of Indiana. He had lived in Arizona for thirty years, twenty of which were spent at Flagstaff, where he followed his vocation as a sad dler. He was generally known. as ''Unele Diek,'' and was. a man of wide popularity and sterling char aeter. He mas been in failing health for nearly three years, and his sis ter, Mrs. Mary A. Jordan, came from Colorado about two and half years ago, to take care of him. He died after an illness of three weeks, from an attack of erysipelas. He was a widOwer and had no children. His sister, who is connected with the h. dian school at Mayer, returned there yesterday afternoon.

was also progressing at The April Fool, where fine ore was struck, at the Miami shaft and other claims
 The Great Western was preparing to ship from the Mary and putting down the Mamie, at the head of the Great Western townsite of patented ground. The Copper Queen was de- veloping in the Casey shaft, adjoin- ing the old Leadville mine owned by W. c. Holmes and associates, at the Silverton shaft east of the Mary in the Germania Basin, and also on the Brown claims. Suddenly the Copper Queen abandoned all work, at a time when the joint power house of the Great Western and Copper Queen was building at the Mamie shaft. This move shattered confidence in the camp, and values fell. The Calumet and Arizona continues to ship. from the Germania and the Great Western from the Mary and Mamie. The Leadville is not operating. The Fl Paso and Southwestern had built the Courtland branch from Douglas, with spurs to the Casey shaft and the townsite and the Humboldt and Mamie shafts of the Great Western, as well as to the April Fool and Germania of the Calumet and Ari- zona, the Southern Pacific had ex- tended its lines from Pearee to Courtland and Gleeson, and every body thought the camp was due to become a world beater. This wonder is again riveted in the hope that the Copper Queen may again renew devel- opment work upon it's claims there in, already including several thou sand feet of shafts and drifts.

LAURA JEAN IN LIMELIGHT

What7 Laura Jean Libby actually on the stagei Odds bodkinsl Can it be that Laura is a flesh-and-blood individual? We were under the i'm pression she was a trademark, mythical person through whose sign manual shrewd publishers put forth literaehoor for the young lady gum cnewers. We refuse to think of Laura other than as a syndicate, but if it is true that she insists on fac ing the spotlight in order to get into "closer touch" with her public, eurely it is not in ingenue parts she would make her debut.
 For Laura, bless her heart, is no spring chicken in the literary circles of the area level. Her thrillers have been. the Alnpha and Omega of the back stairs for the last quarter of century. Not to know pages of "The Fatal Wedding" by heart, were to announce one's self a muck er" Who that has devoured "Lov- CTS Once, But Strangers Now," be- tween the serving of luncheon and the "strapping up" after dinner can ever forget that impassioned gem of creative worki Or, with the kit chen floor unserubbed and the greasy dishes standing in the sink, to sit down on the back jorch, in one $ dirty gingham froek, for a few stolen moments with "He Loved, But Was Lured Awayl"
 Oh, the joy of such delving into the finest of Libbeyan romancesi To weep with the proud but beautiful hero inc in "We Parted at the Altar" to palpitate over the pages of "What Is Life Without Love;" to drink in, with feverish haste, the throbbing lines of "The Mad Be trothal;" to agitate one's mind over the fearful unfolding of "When Lovely Maiden Stoops to Folly;" and to debate in eagerness the prob lem, "0ugnt We to Invite Heri" This is to have lived, and who but Laura Jean Libbey has given us these delicious moments!
 Welcome to the histrionic ranks, L. J. L., be you a trademark, a syn dieate advertising sign, a myth, or an individual We of the humber ranks of life will flock in numbers to the theater you honor by your presence, and in mute adoratiOn will hang on your words in much the same way that we have wor- shped your goddesses and adOred your Adonises of the printed page.

ROOSEVELT ROAD IS TWO THIRDS
 FINISHED
CFrom Tuesdays Daily)


 GLOBE, Ariz., Aug. s.-With twenty-two miles of the new Globe Roosevelt Territorial highway prae- tieally completed, or the grading finished on nearly two-thirds of that project, it will be a matter of only a few weeks until the new road con meeting Globe with the central DOT tion of the Territory will be com pleted.:
 Engineer James Parker, assistant to Territorial Engineer J. B. Girand, and who has been in direct charge of the building of the Roosevelt road since construction work was com meneed, arrived in Globe yesterday afternoon, highly pleased with the progress which is being made by the contracting firm of R. Toohey & Sons. Two of the younger mem bers of the firm accompanied him.
 According to Engineer Parker, the road has been graded from Roose- welt toward Globe to a point about two and a half miles this side of what is known as the summit. With the exception of surfacing the road, work has been completed to this point.
 The recent rains aided to a con siderable extent in facilitating road work, although portions of the road did not receive a drop of moisture which has been rather freely pre- eipitated throughout the Globe dis triet during the past several days.
 The work of surfacing the road in the Pinto district has already been taken up, quite a stretch of the highway having already been graveled. This part of the road has not been rolled as yet, but it is al- ready in excellent condition, in the opinion of many autOmobilists who have travelled over it. Portions of the highways are still rought, but on the whole the road, even in its pres ent unfinished condition, is an i'm provement over the old road.
 A steam roller has been ordered for the road and should be in opera tiOn within a short time. With this machine in use, the new road can be put in the condition of a boulevard, mechanically, and without requiring time fer traffic to level its surface.
 There is considerable talk among local autoists of holding a formal road run to Roosevelt and return by way of opening the new roads on its completion. It is believed that such an event would not only serve to advertise the Globe district, but that it would benefit the auto indus try as well.

Editorial Comment
PUT YOUR NAME ON REGISTER.

The special registration which the Board of Supervisors mas ordered, in conformity with the provisions of Governor Sloan's proclamation and the Statehood bill, is an important one.
 It will not only be necessary for voters who would cast a ballot at the election of delegates to the con- stitutional convention to be reglst- cred at this time, but also those who will vote at the election for the ap- proval of the constitution and the first election of State officers, will have to be on the Great Register now for no other provision is made in the Statehood bill for an addl- tional registration.
 The Statehood law provides that before the holding of the cOnstitu- tional convention, the Board of Sup ervisors shall order a registration, but it shall not be necessary for those whose names were, on the Great Register in 1908 to ,re-register.
 The Statehood law makes no other provision for registration and if ii is to be strictly interpreted, it will be seen that it is essential that those who expect to vote at the first State election register now.
