The Era of the Thinking Voter.

Although defeated for mayor of
 Mr. Otto T. Barnard came out of the
 contest with more personal credit
 than attached to any other candidate or politician connected with the cam
 paigh. He steadily grew in public esteem, and he now appears 10 be the most eligible man for the repub- lican nomination to succeed Governor Hughes. The country is therefore in- terested in his personality. He is dis tinctly broad" in his political views Speaking of party divisions. he said recently:
 There are no great issues dividing the parties. We have simply descended to personal politics and have opened the field for personal prejudices and favoritsm. The par ties are almost blended on the is- sues'
 MT Barnard recognizes conditions which professional politicians stub bornly ignore Until recent years the slogan" of both parties was "Prin- ciples: Not Men.' Thus was trans lated the hum of the party whip. and the existence of issues which sharply divided the parties justified to a large extent the appeals to voters to- ignore questions relating to the fit ness Of candidates. Those were the days in which stump speaker could always get tremendous applause" by the boast: Never yet have l scratched my party ticket!" Those were the days in which the strongest was the fervid assertion that the can didate for nomination had never voted for a candidate of the loathsome op- position.
 But those days are gone. Oratory | of this sort now merely provokes a | smile It gets faint applause. and the | man who declares that he would vote | for crooked candidate on ,his own ticket against an honest man on the other ticket, or would vote for the | candidate least fit because he is on the right ticket" is regarded as a nossback. Appeals to party spirit Ire not effective unless it appears to he voters that the party is on the light side of the main questions un- fer discussion. and such appeals fall ;tand close inspection
 Mir Barnard is a typical citizen ~ef he present day.

The Arizona Comet.

Last night at dark we beheld a
 comet in the sky. It was in the west
 near the horizon. moving impercept-
 ibly downward with it's long tail like
 closed fan stretched perpendicularly
 behind it. They say it is not Halley's
 comet. which is not scheduled till
 May. P Lowell of Flagstaff says it
 is not Don't know yet what it is. The papers call it the Arizona comet,
 with. characteristic modesty.-"H," in a letter from Arizona to the New
 York Sun.
 With all propriety and with becom- ing modesty was the strange celestial visitor named the Arizona Comet" by tory may be written correctly from the outset and not distorted few hundred years hence by lack of facts concerning the first appearance of this comet, 1et it be recorded that it was first discovered by an Arizona savant, Professor JesuBofsky, the of ficial observer of United States wealth CT at Phoenix Further, that it was at an Arizona observatory-the famous Lowell observatory at Flagstaff-that it was first determined that the stranger was not Halley's comet. Fur thermore, that it was by another Ari- zona astronomer-Professor Douglas of the territorial university at Tucson that the first discovery was made that the tail of this remarkable comet had disunion, the result of the being two tails. Because of these facts, The Republican filed with the great American public an un- comet for Arizona.
 We refuse to accept the ridiculous "A-10" as the proper one Or this comet, and we are confident hat the world will be with us and hat Arizona will come into her own n due course. The very fact that | me of the tails of the comet pointed | O the zenith. in token of it's heaven y origin. and that the other tail | 'ointed directly to Arizona. in token if the good understanding between l his territory and the visitor in the ky. ought to settle the question.
 The New York Sun always has cen noted for it's firm inslstence pon justice for Arizona in all things, nd we expect that great newspaper 0 do the right things in respect of he Arizona comet

The Manner of Entrance.

When Arizona enters the Union she will come in like a gentleman.-The Arizona Democrat.
 Far be it from us to make any suggestion which would even tend to disturb the harmony and good feeling which now prevails in this territory and obscures the hateful lines of tra- ditional political battle as fog ob- scures an ugly barn. But We cannot forbear moving an amendment to the esteemed Democrats dictum Let us say that When Arizona enters the Union she" will come in like a lady

NEW YORK MORE PARisiAN THAN
 PARIS.

Paris-"New York is becoming more Parisian than Paris itself" said James Clinch Smith, who has just returned to Paris after a two months visit to the American metropolis. And by Paris ian" he continued, 'I mean all that Is best to make life more pleasant
 'I was amazed at the progress New York has made and at the advance of the cosmopolitan spirit of New York CTS. ~Nothing can stop New York be- ing the real Paris of the world. The development of the cafe and restaurant life. which has been feature peculiar to France and the French peoplr. has grown to such an extent that Paris well may look to it's iaurels.
 T was surprised to see such a large number of Englishmen in New York. and most of them there for the first time. They were attracted. l found, by the facilities for money making bv speculation. and they swarm around the tickers. taking iliers every now and then. and most of them making big money every day. They are wild in their praise of the possibilities of money making in America. and from the signs of the times I think they are not wrong in their estimate of the of the near future.-New York American.

Once More, the Steering Committee.

The recrudescence of the famous steering committee is a portent of bad luck for the esteemed democracy of Arizona. Thanks to the steering committee" and its pet child. the legfs- lative caucus the democratic party in this territory was blowing in a difficult row of stumps when the legislature adjourned last March. So cratic voters in general with the mar rowly partisan record made by the legislature. that scores of them were heard to say that never again would they vote the democratic ticket in To- cal affairs. Making due allowance for some evaporation of this heat of disappointment. the fact remains that the intelligent democrats of the ter ritory will not follow such leadership as was shown by the steering com mittee"
 One manifestation of the steering committees" present wisdom is it's proposal, hitherto treated as a joke, that lawyers be excluded from the membership of the constitutional con- vention which is expected to meet this summer. This scheme also com prises the proposal that the democrats in the constitutional convention shall take their orders from a .'caucus"- all the same the late legislature

The only cloud in the statehood sky is little cloud. as yet no bigger than mans hand; but it may grow to dangerous size. This cloud has taken the shape of democratic opposition to the enabling act which was introduced in the senate by Senator Dillingham;

Ring Found After Forty-Two Years.
Greensboro News.

Greensboro News.
Some time ago J. NJ. Reeves, a col
ored man, as the sequel shows, is an
honest old soul, was digging a ditch
for drain on the property OF Kelley
Institute, when he happened to see
something in the ditch shining. He
thought it might be OF value and he
tucked it away in his jeans. When
he got home he cleaned off the dirt
and saw that it was a ring: he also
saw that it had some initials inside
of it. Then he commenced to make
inquiries of persons he knew. The
other day he showed it to a gentle
man and told him he wanted to find
the owner. The man saw the initials
and suggested that he interview DIR.
J. f. Logan. Straightway he paid a
visit to that gentleman. DR.. Logan
rubbed his eyes, his glasses, then Mrs.
Logan put in her appearance.
To make the story short. it was
Mrs. Logan's wedding ring. She lost
it ~ years ago when calling at what
was then the home OF Mr.. j. A. Gray.
Every effort was made to find it,
but it could not be located and it
was long, long ago given up as gone
forever.
The colored man was happy, not
only that he had found the owner,
but that he had in his hand a check
rewarding him for his honesty.

No Room for Pessimists.
Manufacturers Record.

Manufacturers Record.
Ninety million people in the United
States are producing or consuming;
most of them are doing both They
are moving to and fro upon the earth.
They are travelling or working.
They cannot cease their activities
They cannot become negative. They
are of necessity positive in their ef-
fects from the demands for food, for
manufactured products. Even il at
the moment they are buying a little
less per capita than in boom times,
they are offsetting this to large ex-
tent by an increase in numbers. Poll
ticians come and 90; financial scares
come with their accustomed regular
ity, but the country moves along. in
creasing its population, raising more
agricultural products, turning out
more manufactured goods and doing
more work. Railroads are wearing
out with every wheel that turns, and
must continue steady replacement.
New railroads must be built to open
up new territory awaiting develop
ment, and new facilities must be pro-
vided by existing railroads. Politi
cal uncertainty and harassing legis-
lation may affect the ability of rail
roads to secure money, and these
things do very greatly lessen the
amount of capital that under more
favorable conditions would turn into
railroad building, but despite these
adverse factors, railroad expansion
must continue, or railroads will be
bankrupt physically, and that is as
bad as being bankrupt financially.
Houses are wearing out and new
houses must be built. The increase
of population means a constant eX-
pansion in building operations. The
growth of cities compels the building
of water-WOrks and sewerage sys-
TENS, the extension Of new streets
and the better paving of existing
streets. The awakened sense of the
country to the Importance OF good
roads not as a luxury, but as neces-
sity, an investment yielding a larger
profit than any other investmen t
which the country can make, means
vast expansion all over the United
States in road-building operations.
The Improvement of the internal COM
bustion engine, as typified in the au-
tomobile, means the utilization OF
these engines in every department of
farm work and in thousands of places
where heretofore manual labor has
been essential. Though at the mo-
ment there may be some dullness
here and there, or rather failure OF
activity to be AS great as has been
anticipated, there is business every
where, and business for everybody
who goes out after it intelligently
and increasingly. This is no land for
the pessimist. The greatest optimist
of America is in reality a pessimist
when measured by what careful stu
dents OF the country and it's business
opportunities know to be facts as to
the vastness of it's potentialities.

if he loves the farm and wants to
stay there Do not think that the

the art of farming depends on SO
many OF the sciences that a man need
be an expert in several of them. Let

Concord Times.
We are glad indeed to note that
the committee appointed at the last
meeting of the Press Association to
take in hand the matter OF erecting a
suitable memorial to the great hu-
morits, Bill Nye, has decided to erect
a building at the Jackson Training
School. Such a decision, we know,
is just such as the great humorist
himself would endorse, as he was op-
posed to having erected over his
grave a marble shaft or anything else
than plain piece of unmarked gran
ite. A building bearing Nye's name
erected at an institution the great
work of which is uplifting humanity
by the proper training OF unfortunate
youths, would mean much that Nye
himself stood for. The work OF the
committee should be promptly and
literally sustained by the people OF
the State.
