Bisbee daily review., 1910-09-06
the United States is in reality merely partisan attorney.

For a number of years Cochise
 county has been without just rep
 resentation in our legislatures. At
 the last election, held in 1908 CO
 chise county boiled more votes than
 any other county in Arizona, still 1t only has three members of the legis-
 lature while at least one county chad
 as much strength in the legislature,
 with not half as many votes as Go chise. All this will be remedied by an equitable apportionment of the legislative bodies to be provided in the constitution for the first legisla- ture of the new state The size of the legislature will be for the con- sideration of the constitutional con vention, in which Cochise county will have more delegates than any other county. Should a council be provided of IS members and a house of 24 a total of 42, on the same basis of representation that fixed the of the constitutional conven- tion, Cochise county would be en- titled to a total of eight members, probably one member of the council and seven members of the house. It will be pleasing to finally see Co chise county receive an equitable leg lslative representation.

Three Watch,Uords of Success.

A writer of the biography of ont of the country's great men. great in his business success and great in his work for humanity. says that his first employers gave the following three qualifications as the reason why he so early attracted attention in business: His enthusiasm. his en- tire thoroughness. and his faculty of application"
 These are without doubt three of the watchwords of success in the business world. An employer likes enthusiasm, not merely effervescent spirits that mean nothing and accom- plish nothing, nor a fussy. over zealousness that is continually med ding in things that are none of Its concern But he likes the deep, sin cere enthusiasm that takes as much interest in the genuine welfare of his business as he does himself. En- thusiasm Is catching, and the en- ploye who is enthusiastic about his employers business makes others be- lieve in it. He arouses a feeling of goodwill for it wherever he goes.
 Few things are more valuable in the business world than entire thorough ness. The peace and satisfaction that come to an employer when he finds an employe who is entirely thorough are beyond words to describe. If an employe wants to make himself valu. able, let him cultivate entire thor oughness. He will become more prec- ious to the busy man of affairs than the stocks and bonds in the strong box A man may not have original ity, or the qualities of leadership,

grew strong enough to, overcome them.
 Driven from his occupation in pub lie under a license the gamblers in some instances have attempted to continue action under the privacy of back rooms. but this has proven unproftable. so that now, as far as Arizona is concerned. he may be re- garded as practically out of business. There may be private poker game here or there, but they are not under the control of the professional gam bier.
 So that now the thousands of dol lars which formerly went to support horde of professional gamblers in Douglas and other cities in Arizona is used for providing and sup porting more comfortable homes and riotous and extravagant living has passed away. and it is hoped never to return.
Bisbee daily review., 1910-09-06
TO TIE THE HANDS OF THE MAJORITY.


 The Globe, Arizona Silver Belt. which recently changed owners and politics, delivers a severe lecture to the democrats of Arizona because they did not accede to wishes of the republicans and send uninstructed delegates to the constitutional con vention as the republicans claim to have done.
 It is usually a safe rule followed by the democrats both in Arizona and elsewhere to find out just what it is the republicans would have them do, then do the other thing.
 This may, possibly, have been the reason why the democrats of the territory instructed their candidates for delegates to the constitutional convention, and if it was. it was the wise thing to do politically. But it was more probably done in ac- cordance with the cardinal doctrine of the democratic party that the people should rule
 It is not the purpose, we appre- bend, of the demochats of Arizona. any more than it is of the democrats of any other state or territory, to send uninstructed delegates to any constitutional convention, or other convention that is to pass upon the rights of the peopit.
 The instructed delegation is the despair of the boss, just as the un- instructed delegation is his delight. The instructed delegate knows exactly what the people he represents want and is going to follow those instruc- tions despite the power of the boss and the aliurements he may bring to bear to lead them to betray the people.
 It is not sLI prising that the re- publicans should desire uninstructed delegates to the constitutional con .vention, for their ulterior purpose is to secure for the two new states con stitutions that will perpetuate boss rule, open avenues for continued graft and leave the people with limite5 power and circumscribed rights and very few of them.-El Paso Times.
