The Referendum
 and Recall

Those who are advocating so strenuously some of the new eX-
 perimenGs in government which are meetiag so much approval at thls time should throw the light of history upon some of their
 pet theories and measure what
 would have been their probable result had they been in practical operation at some critical period in the history of the United States. For elucidation of the point of this article, one or two cases will be cited.
 Suppose the recall had been in operation in' the federal govern
 ment in 166l-2-3, when every available man was called into the field, and every availa ble dollar was drawn and utilized in a colossal effort to save the Union from dissolution and prevent the destruction Of the nation. At any time in those dark days which tried the souls of men, up to the "High tide of the rebel- lion" at Gettysburg and Vicks- burg, nJuly, 1863, it would have been possible to have secured a petition signed by ten per cent of the voters for recall of Abra- ham Lincoln from the presiden- cy. And upon such petition, had that idea of government pre-
 vailed at that time, an election
 for new president would have followed. So great was the dis
 content with Mr. Lincoln he
 would have been defeated, and | the presidency would have pass ed to another. Yet as we now
 read history he was the one man of all the great statesmen of that age who was fitted to carry that tremendous conflict to a success
 f0i issue.
 The American system of gov ernmcnt, as formulated in the 1 Constitutionsof the federal grov
 ernment and i'll the fundamental laws of the various states, is one of wisely devised checks and
 balances, we'll calculated to meet successfully just such emergen- cies as that of the Civil War. Now, to abandon that for the new ideas of this day-the initial tive, the referendum and the
 recall, would be to sweep aside those checks aRl balances which ! the people of Arizona are not quite prepared to do.-Nogales l Oasis.

Mark Smith

Is Los Angeles to be head quarters for Arizona candidates for the United States senate Two aspiraats for the senate have chosen the coast metropo- lis for the point of vantag whence to announce their ambi- tions-the Hon. Marcus Aurelius Smith and Hon. H. l.. Pickett.
 Authorizing the Los Angeles Examiner to make his announce ment, Mir. Smith is quoted as saying: Il havea long campaign ahead of me, but 1 feel sanguine about my success.
 It is not clear from this state. ment whether Mr. Smith thinks the actual admission of Arizona is in tue distant future, or that he expects to be repeatedly a candidate until he wins. As to the date of admission, it is rea- sonably certain that Arizona, If admitted at all under the ena- bling act now ia force, will be a state by the middle of next June. If freak constitution should be framed and adopted, and subse- quently rejected by the presi- dent and congress, as we have every reason to expect it would be, admission would be indeti- nitely delayed. It is not proba- ble that another statehood bill would pass within the next ten years. But nobody is expecting a freak constitution, and we therefore cannot understand why MT. Smith expects to have long campaign ahead of him, unless, as suggested, he rather expects to be defeated in his mbition to be one of our first senators and intends to try again and again: Mir. Smith is not a close student of our country's history or the existing statehood law, else he would not have made so many erroneous statements concerning the courage" involved in sab- mitting our constitution to con gress, and concerning the terms of the enabling act--Arizona Republican.

Customs at HOgaIes

Through the port of Nogales, Arizona, the United States dur ing the year which ended June 30, 1910, imported almost twice as it exported. This interesting fact is disclosed by the annual report just made by Collector of Customs Con O'Keefe.
 OKeefe's report shows that about $l6, ,0O0,O 900 worth of dHti- able goods passed through No gales during the year, of which S1G, 900, GOO came into the United States and $6, 900, 000 went into Mexico. Domestic exports and imports made up the greater part of each total.
 Another disclosure made in O'Keefe's report is the growing importance of Nogales as a port of entry. For the year ending June 30, 1908, the total duty col lected was Sl08, 717. 96 for 1909 it was Sl55, 938.68, while for 1910 it reached the large total of S232, 796. g.

4 Prophetic Prank

A week before the Bisbee flood the telegraph operator there, weary of his job, informed the world one night that flood was sweeping Bisbee out of the Mule mountains. Then he opened his key and Bisbee was isolated.
 When the food finally came and the BiSbeeiteS recalled this incident, they held the operator to be prophet. But like all prophets, he was not honored at home. He would have been tarred and feathered instead if he could have been caught.

Census increase

For several years public speak cEs have in in the glow of their ofatory referred roandly to the ninety millions of American
 citizens constituting this nation, This has been 8 eUphemism of eioquence, an advance gness at the federal censns founded upon hope, There is a good reason to believe that this hope was we'll based.

25 Years of Dr0uth

The Parker Post says; Ac- cording to an opinion rendered by District Attorney Timmons, Parker will be dry for 2 years unless changed by future legis- lation. Owing to the failure of tue government to file the plat of the Parker toWnsite, the county does not recognize the legal opening of the town. In the event that the plat is with held until after the territory has become a state, the enabling act provides that no liquor can be sold on land segregated from Indian reservations for 9 years after said act has become effect i've.

exactly the numerical increase
 from 1890 to 1900, and inasmuch
 as the actual advance has decen-
 nially progressed with one ex-
 ceptiOn in every decade since the
 first census was taken in 1790, it
 is fair assumption that the 1910
 count will assuredly bring the
 total to the point so proudly pro
 claimed in advance by many
 prophetic patriots.
 Judging from all appearances,
 the national population will be somewhere between ninety-one and ninety-fve millions. There
 is no likelihood of it's reaching
 one hundred millions, as has
 been lately suggested by enthu-
 siaStic students of the count. Nor is2there any particular req son to wish for that figure. This lis growing country and it's at tainment of the hundred million mark will very soon be reached,
 perhaps too soon for the good of the nation. The point of satu ration is yet far distant as re- gards the entire area of the United States, but in some places
 it has been passed. The chief problem of today is to effect more even distribution of the population by spreading the new Icomers from other countries throughout the smaller cities and the urban area instead of per hitting them to settle in the places of their initial landing.

Fortune from an Appetite

An appetite for luscious, juicy apples made the fortune of Prof, J. l.. Dumas. While teaching in Honolulu he frequently tried to get the kind of apples he had been accustomed to in the north west, but without success. The only apples he could get were small, shriveled and tasteless. They sold for about , scents each, though. and that led to the thought that not enough apples were grown to supply the de- mdnd.
 Prof. Dumas acted on his idea. He returned to the northwest and purchased 140 acres near Dayton. Washington, for $3, 900, which represented bis savings for twenty years of school teach ing. Prof. Dumas has just sold his original orchard and 100 acres more he added to it for $15O, Goo. Besides he has taken $125, Coo of the property in apple crops since he bought it. Many a man has consumed his fortune in gratifying an appetute; few can say they made one by doing the same thing.
