George Hunt Quits.

The Tucson Citizen makes the fol- lowing shrewd comment upon the re- fusaI of the Hon. George Washington Peter Hunt of Gila county to remain on the democratic ticket in that county:
 Another democratic politician has seen the handwriting on the wall and has made his escape to other parts, there to await the returns from the September elections before venturing d return to the soon- be state. George Washington Peter Hunt has been heard from in Chicago, whence he telegraphs to his lieutenants in Gila to- take his name off the ticket of candidates for delegates to the constitutional convention. 1mpera- tive business affairs is the reason assigned for his retirement from the head of a ticket which he named and dominated and whose platform was drafted from a carbon copy of that prepared by Eugene s. Ives, the rail- road boss of the democratic party in the territory today. Hunt declines the honor of being a candidate. which he is quick to see is the only honor to be had from a democratic nomination in Gila county in this campaign.
 Friends of Senator Ives are ap- parently not averse to the impression going abroad that the retirement of Hunt was dictated by the senator and Editor Ellinwood; they were ouick to call attention tO the remain der of the ticket, which they declare is altogether satisfactory

sue-will be exceedingly glad of an excuse for denying statehood to us.
 For these reasons, we are confident that inquiry of either of these demo- cratic leaders will elicit a reply to this effect; That while they consider the terms under which we are en- abled to apply for admission are outrageous" insulting" and all that and regardless of any personal opin- ion they may have of the initiative and referendum" and recall" they are of the opinion that the inclusion of these things in the constitution will put statehood in grave peril. to state it mildly.
 The one big question which is "com- ing out of the wash after all the campaign discussion is: Do we really want statehood? And on this ques- tion we cannot believe that either Mark Smith or Col Wilson is enough of a demagogue to try to mislead the people.

tion, but the railroad boss makes and unmakes delegations in other coun- ties. The voters of Arizona will have the opportunity of answering on Sep tember F the all important question: Shall the corporations or the people write the constitution of Arizona?
 "The democratic party is today in the grip of the salaried counsel of the leading corporations in Arizona, who are openly boasting that they will write the organic law in the event of democratic success. They are parading themselves before the people on a platform of fake radical ism. The election of the Ives Ellin- wood delegations, each one of which is shackled with hard and fast in structions, drafted by these shrewd railroad lawyers. will sound the death knell of statehood for another decade.

RIBBONS IN BABY SHOWS.

Men are obtuse creatures. Feminine charm to a man is made up largely of lace edged ruffles and ribbon bows and coquettish smles-attributes en- tirely eXtraneous to real rock bottom character.
 This prelude has reference to the process of deciding which were the prettiest babies on exhibit at the firemen's picnic. Not that the win ners weren't nice babies. Far be it from anyone to intimate that those picked as first and second choice" were not well up to the average of babydom.
 But the judges were all men, and out of the sixteen prizes awarded to high class juveniles eleven went to girl babies, and, without a single eX- ceptiOn, pink and blue ribbon bows, curls of gold or brown or black, and fluffy. lace trimmed dresses were the outward and visible adornment of the lucky children.-Cleveland Plain Dealer

Good for Colonel Roosevelt!

It would be difficult to write a
 stronger endorsement of the platform
 of the Maricopa county republicans
 than was uttered by Theodore Roose-
 welt in a general statement at Pueblo yesterday Expressing his regret that
 he could not visit the territories at
 this time, Colonel Roosevelt said:
 ''I wish I could go down to Arizona and New Mexico, but this is the near
 est place to them l will reach on this | trip. Many of my friends there have | written me asking me to advise them about their constitutions. 1 have not felt familiar enough with their con- | ditions to do so, but there is one point upon which I would like to | advise them, and that is to leave their constitutions easy of amend ment at any time when the people feel amendments should be made. EX perience has shown that not only doc trnaireS, but also designing cor poration attorneys and others often get put into the constitution matters which were not thoroughly under stood by the people at the time, and my plea is that the people of the new states should be left with their hands free so that if at any time they find something has been put into their constitution which they did not know was there, or if they find something working badly which they thought would work well. they shall have an opportunity to make any change that is necessary"
 The republicans of Maricopa county advocate a constitution which can be amended simply. by majority vote. Their platform so declares, in plain terms. They stand exactly where the former president stands, on this ques- ton.
 And to make their platform effec- tive, they propose the adoption of the system of direct primaries, whereby the people retain absolute control of political affairs-the system whereby the machines" have been Overthrown fornia.
 Precisely with Roosevelt, the repub licans of Maricopa county stand on the additional proposition stated by him, also: That Experience has shown that not only doctrinaires. but also designing corporation attorneys. often put into constitutions matters which are not thoroughly understood by the people at the time"
 Although he professed not to un- derstand conditions down here. Col onel Roosevelt could not have stated them more accurately had he inves- tigated conditions on the ground.
 It is exactly true in Arizona today that "doctrinaires" are trying to put into the constitution the initiative and referendum and recall" which many people as yet do not under stand"
 It is exactly true that designing attorneys" to-wit: the Hon. Everett E. Ellinwood and the Hon. Eugene s. Ives, democratic bosses and attorneys for the Copper Queen and Southern Pacific interests. | are trying to put into the constitution l these very matters that are not | thoroughly understood"
 But the people are rapidly reaching | an understanding.

Arizona republican., 1910-08-31
Ask Smith and Wilson,

There are two very prominent dem ocrats of this territory who are quite well informed as to sentiment at Washington concerning statehood.
 No other democrat in Arizona is so we'll informed as they are on this question.
 These two democratic leaders are: The Hon. Mark A. Smith, and the Hon. J. F. Wilson.
 Arizona has been represented in the congress of the United States during most of the time for the last twenty years by either Mir Smith or MT. Will son-no other democrat has been our delegate during that time
 To any democrat who sincerely wishes to know whether the inclusion of the initiative and referendum" and ''recalr' in our constitution will put statehood in peril, we recommend that inquiry be made of either Mark Smith or Col Wilson.
 The Republican is not in the confi- dence of either of these distinguished democrats. We have had no con- munication with either of them Our recommendation that inquiry be made of them is based solely on the fact that they know what the situation is at Washington, and the further fact that we have confidence in the hon. esty of both men.
 Both Mir Smith and Col. Wilson know that there is a very large ele- ment in the senate that is opposed to statehood for Arizona under any circumstances. and that still another element, while it might be reconciled to the admission of this territory, would not be in favor of its admis- sion under a constitution such as is proposed by the politicians who are the candidates for the constitutional convention in Maricopa and most of the counties.
 Both Mr. Smith and Col Wilson know that the statehood bill was passed by a "fluke"; that a great many senators who voted for it did so with the understanding that the bill would be rejected by the house, and that the bill would then go to the conference committee. where it was expected to die.
 Both MT. Smith and Col Wilson know that all the pressure that the national administration could exert was placed upon the house leaders to get them to accept the senate bill without a conference, and that through became a law-to the surprise and disappointment of the opponents of statehood.
 Both MT. Smith and Col. Wilson know that senators were heard to say: -"The fight is not ended yet; we shall have another say when their 1 constitution is submitted to us"
 Both Mir Smith and Col. Wilson ! know that President Taft was in good | faith when he advised us against the adoption of a freak" constitution.
 Both Mir. Smith and Col Wilson know that a large element in the ' senate-sufficiently large to talk the measure to death. and probably large | enough to defeat statehood on a vote, with a radical constitution as the is

were kept in a room where the Their
mometer registered 80 degrees?"
No doubt the vindictive weather
which obtained throughout the winter
was the principal cause of the poor
hatch. OF course 80 degrees is quite
bit lower than the temperature
ought to be in a room where eggs for
Matching are stored and that would
contribute more or less, according to
the time the eggs we're stored, to the
i'll success of the hatch. But the con
tinuous bad weather was the main
cause. So far as | can learn few breed
ers get more than so per cent hatch
during January and February and
many did worse than that. | know of
one breeder, whose eggs enjoy good
reputation for Matching, who got but
100 chicks from 300 eggs set, and
another who set 285 eggs with 101
chicks as the result. If breeding birds
are confined to their pens for weeks
on end the eggs will show poor fer
tility and the fertile eggs will contain
many weak germs that will perish dur
ing the hatch. Since the weather has
moderated great improvement has
been observed in both these respects
and am in receipt of several re-
ports of SO and "a per cent fertility
matches now in progress.

A Timely Word on Fertilizers.

IL vegeta bic life is dependent for
maintainence upon three main ele-
ments Of fertility potash
and phosphoric acid. Some soils have
sutticiency or even an excess of
some element, but more often suffer
from a lack of one or more of these
elements usually nitrogen. Each
crop makes demand on the soil for
these elements In different proportions
of composition and each crop has it's
own capacity for and rate of assimila-
tion
This rate, in the colder northern
ATTITUDES, is almost always beyond the
rate of formation and supply of soil
nitrates due to the low temperatures
in early spring which is the time both
when the plant most needs sustenance
and when 1T is not forthcoming from
the soil. Ii nitrogen is supplied at
this stage in the form of Nitrate of
Soda, III which the nitrates are already
formed and Immediately available, the
young plants are able to establish such
a vigor Of growth that they can much
better resist disease and the attacks
of insects or parasites. To this adj
vantage, in spring vegetables, may be
added the further gain in quantity and
succulence with the profit resulting
from admission to the early market.
Edmond Dick, Sand Coulee, Montana
says: ''Nitrate was a success. Had
enormous crop of cabbage and was
first in the market. / put 200 pounds

last December. l have favored early
Matching myself, but one should al
ways be open to conviction and must
confess that my April Matched pullets
surpassed their March Matched sisters
last winter. From Oregon comes
word from customer who Matched
lot of chickens late in June and had
them laying we'll in December; so per-
haps the old man dosn't know it all.
I have always said, however, that the
March Matched pullet needed very
careful handling to avoid moulting ON
the one hand, and lack OF proper de-
velopment through too much caution
in feeding on the other.
From all sides are heard hard luck
stories about early Matching this sea-
son. The following letter from cor
respondent at Lopez, WASH, is fairly
representative of them all.

Demonstrate the King Road
Drag.

A. S. AlvOrd prominent rancher
of the White River valley, who lives
mile south of Kent, gave practical
demonstration of the great benefit of
the King road drag last week at his
own expense. 1t is surprising that SO
simple means of road improvement
has not been generally adopted This
is probably because few people have
it's benefit. Mr.. Alvord's drag consist
ed simply of two pieces Of timber, six
by six. five feet long set four feet
apart, fastened together by boards
across the TOP, and braced in the
center. The front timber is placed at
slight angle, and has an iron shoe
two inches wide and quarter of an
Inch thick. Three strong horses were
used and all the debris on the road
was worked into the center and in
about three hours one mile of road
was completely cleared of all mud and
the road rounded up neatly. The
front timber has bolts driven through
it near the ends. To this, the draw
chain is fastened. A clevis is placed
in the chain at any point to give the
angle desired. Farmers should more
fully look into this means of road i'm
provement. Though the King drag
has been Def ore the public for some
years, it has not received the recogni-
ton it deservs. This is probably ow-
ing to the fact that it is so simple and
can be constructed at so small cost.
The drag mentioned in this article was
made with common farm tools in three
hours work, and probably did not cost
five dollars. Anybody can make one,
and for rounding up road to give
it drainage, it is the finest method
known.

TUBERCULOSIS IN THE PRISON
Per Cent. of Suffering Is Enormous
and There Seems but One
Remedy.

From several Investigations that
have been made by the National AS
sociation for the Study and Proven
ton of tuberculosis it Is estimated
that on an average about Is per
cent of the prison population of the
country is afflicted with tuberculosis.
On this basis, out of the 10000 prison
ers housed in the penal institutions
of the United States at any given
time, no less than $4,000 are infected
with the disease. If the Philippine
islands and other insular possessions
were takeR into consideration the
number would be much larger Some
of the prisons of Pennsylvania, Kan
sas and Ohio show such shocking con-
ditions with reference to tuberculosis
that many wardens admit that these
places of detention are death traps.
Similar conditions could be found In
almost every state, and in the major
ity of cases the only sure remedy is
the destruction of the old buildings
and the erection of new ones.
