CONSERVE WATER
Numerous Factors Involved EN-
bracheS Much Public Land.
Long, Distance Transmission Of Hydro.
Electric Power Will Always Be
Most Practicable and Econom-
icai In Western States.

Numerous factors of conservation
are involved in the development OF
water power in the arid and semi-arid
regions of the west. which embrace
substantially all the remaining public
lands outside of Alaska. The essen.
tial factors are. ID saving OF the
natural fuels.-coal. oil. and forests: :
(2) lessened expense in the irriga.
ton of agricultural lands and In Sc.
curing power for mine development: !:
(3) the restraint of flood waters and
the augmenting Of waters for naviga-
tion, writes Secretary r. A. Ballinger
in American Review of Reviews.
The long-distance transmission of
hydro-electric power will always. gen.
orally speaking. be more practicable
and economical in the Rocky Mountain
and Pacific Coast states since the cost
OF coal and other fuels for power gen.
Grafton will have locally prohibitive
values. due chiefly to cost of labor
in mining and the long hauls In trans.
portation. This however, Is not true
In all localities. as at present the low
selling price Of oil in Los Angeles and
incentive for hydro-electric develop
ment in these cities.
1t needs no argument to show that
every horsepower developed by by.
droelectric transmission conserves
just that quantity of natures fuel nee.
essary to produce the same horse
power. not to mention the fuel used
In its transportation: therefore the
gain represents the saving OF an ex.
haustible natural resource and the
utilization Of what would otherwise
run to waste.
The natural gift of power In the wa.
ters can never be OF full service until
developed and stored, in countries
where there are well.defined wet and
dry seasons. and such development Is
dependent mainly upon private enter
prise. Water-power development in
probably the major portion Of the west
Is impracticable from commercial
point Of view unless coupled with the
irrigation OF arid lands. the extraction
and reduction of minerals. or railway
operation. The force of these state.
ments Is better understood when II Is
known that the maintenance of n con-
tinuous flow throughout the year In
wet and dry seasons requires the i'm.
pounding OF food or surplus waters.
These waters so restrained thereby
become In part available for irrigation
during crop seasons as well as In the
continuous generation OF power for
electrical transmission. Also thou
sands of motors are thus capable OF
use In pumping water to the surface
for irrigation to an extent not feasible
II fuel were necessary to create power
or normal stream flow must be depend
ed on.
Experience shows that the impound
ing or storage OF the waters OF noun
tain streams in the food season neces
sarily retards the abnormal seasonal
run OF and eQualizes the flow Of the
natural streams and rivers. preventing
inindation of lands In one season OF

CARTWRIGHT.

Cartwright, Sept. 11.-Cartwright has been entertained this week by the visits from candidates, both republican and democratic. On Saturday night of last week the Labor party held a meet ing at the school house, at which MT. Cooke and Louise Stevens Cooke spoke to an audience of three. The crowd was not small because the people here were not at all opposed to hearing the views set forth by the labor party, but visit from the candidates of that party is a new thin ghere and we were not expecting them. In fact, the bills were posted so late in the week that only a few knew of the meeting.
 The republican rally for Tuesday night was well advertised, but only d few were present Those few enjoyed the music by the quartet very much and listened eagerly to the speeches of the candidates. MT. Christy acted as chairman and opened the meeting with talk to the armers. telling them that they needed statehood more than any other class of people. passing his state ments upon whatrhe knew of farm life from his experience when he farmed section 20. MT. Sprunger of Wicken- burg followed MT. Christy. Having al- ready stated his views upon the initia- tive, referendum and recall by means of the public press, MT. Sprunger steered clear of that issue of the cam paign and assured us of his support of the prohibition question MT. Sprung

The Local Campaign.

In Maricopa county the democrat:
 have elected their candidates by
 somewhat less than the average dem.
 ocratic majority in this county.
 The Arizona Republican is proud O
 the republicans of Maricopa county
 They made an uphill fight agains
 what appeared to be hopeless odd:
 at the outset. At the beginning ol
 the campaign it was clear that there
 was a majority of at least two to ont
 against them. It was the old free
 silver craze over again. But reason
 began to assert itself, and if the cam paign could have lasted two weeks
 longer the republicans would have
 won.
 This paper salutes the defeated re- publican candidates. They made one of the most manful, one of the most courageous, one of the most self-re- specting. and one of the cleanest campaigns ever made in America They were, and are. representative men of this county. Better men can- not be found in the United States. They stood resolutely for what they knew to be right. They knew from the beginning that they were leading a forlorn hope. They knew that they had to encounter a popular hysteria. the like of which had not been seen since 1896. There was little reason for them to hope to win. But they stood for the enduring principles of American institutions, entirely con- tent to lose if need be, and assured that the verdict of time would vim dicate them.
 This was true republicanism. The republican party is not a party of It stands for established principles. It does not set its sails to catch every shifting breeze. hypo- critically ready to change front at any time in order to catch votes. This Is why the republican party is the dominant party in the nation, and why 1t will remain so. It is the party of honesty and sincerity.
 All republicans have reason to feel proud of the character of their cam paign. It was absolutely clean. There was not a vote bought It was a replica of the Fowler campaign of 1904, in which Judge Kibbey and MT. Ely, chairman and secretary respec- lively of the territorial committee, re- fused absolutely to expend a dollar for dirty purposes, and in which every grafter was told squarely to go to hell

What Will They Do With It2

democratic party in overwhelming control of the constitutional conven- tion.
 This is a country in which the ma jority rules, and where it must rule if the republic is to endure, and he is a poor sort of citizen who does not accept with cheerful acquiescence the verdict of the majority.
 The one concern of this paper, and of every thoughtful republican, has been for Statehood.
 The one question. therefore, in the mind of every republican is: What will the democrats do with their vic tory?
 If the democrats carry out their campaign promises, Statehood will be surely lost The democrats have prom ised to make the cardinal feature of their constitution, the system of direct legislation on the Oregon Oklahoma plan.
 They cannot keep this promise and achieve Statehood.
 Indeed, The Republican has certain knowledge that they do not intend to keep their promise. Democratic councils are somewhat divided as to the "slickest" method of evading this promise The men in control of their campaign were unanimous on one point only, and this point was, Let us promise anything in order to win the election. We will take care of the situation after that" Some of their leaders think the best method will be to write into the constitu tion all the junk they have promised and have the constitutional convention take a recess for two or three weeks. and send a delegation to Washington to lay before President Taft the result of their work They expect that this delegation will be told by MT. Taft that he cannot approve the constitu- ton thus written, and that he will ad- wise them to return to Phoenix and write a constitution in harmony with his views. Their idea is to comply with his suggestions, and then go be- fore the people in the state campaign and say:
 We kept our promise to you. Wei wrote into the constitution all the doctrines we promised, but that tyran nical republican president would not accept the constitution that we want ed and in order to save statehood we had to drop out of the constitution the things you wanted We are the friends of the people. Please elect us to office"
 Other democrats are in favor of taking the position that they can save their faces" by a subterfuge. Their idea is that they can adopt the principle of the initiative and refer endum" as it is in force in Maine, Missouri. and other conservative states-that is, on such a high per- centage of voters on petitions and so forth. that the principle will be dead letter.
 Stin other democratic politicians those who owe hard and fast ale 1 glance to certain great corporations-I are in favor of writing into the con- stitution such radical doctrines as will surely defeat Statehood
 Out of these divided councils there | is bound to be a lot of fun for re- publicans, and an immense amount | of discontinue for our democratic ! friends.
 Meanwhile, the people, "the dear people" and the dear laboring man" for whom democratic politicians always shed such copious tears on the stump. will find that they have beenl buncoed, as usual
