THE WAY OF THE WORLD.

There was once a man and he had The prospect did not dis resemble any one of a thousand of ones. This same man was poor, but industrious. He came to the reporter and he said that his enterprise was one in which all the world was in terested. It meant the salvation around and the proof of the community. Pub iicity was wanted to encourage capital for development. The story was printed at it's best and the capital came. The next scene is set at the same spot six months later. The man is the owner of a mine now and does not touch pros poets any more. With last long sob the machine stops. The door is thrown open and the man alights. Given the same reporter, and hearty salute. The same questions are prOpounded, for the paper really needs the story this time. NO! It's different now. "I am busl- ness man and have no time for news paper men. 1 do not care to answer any questions about the mine. It s my mine and it is no one else's business what the developments are. do wish that all of you newspaper fellows were out of the country where folks with something are constantly tormented by you" Yes, it was the same man, but he used to own prospect, and now he owns a mine.-Yuma Enterprise.
 That is the way of the world
 And newspaper men are to blame themselves for the scant considera' tion they are given. They cheaper and belittle themselves so frequent

 they should have. But when yol

"LET THE CALLED JADE VINCE. !"

They say that figures won't lie. Well, perhaps not, but Phoenix has been get ting together a back room bunch on her that not only lies, but swears to it. The census gave her, and truth fully so, an average of II ,000. These figures not only disjointed but paralyzed the ranks of the real estate boomers. The government census report was set aside and another bunch of expansive eyed chaps were called together to do the figuring. They saw Tucson on her 13,OO0 and raised her one. Now the little suburb is shouting about l4,O0O.- Tucson Star.
 Down along the line it does folks deal of good to see the Tucson outfit weep and roar at Phoenix. They show how their own hogglsh- ness toward Nogales is felt here. They kick and SCOUT at what Phoenix takes from them (they haven't quit bee6ng yet about the U. s. land office having been taken to the capital); yet without com junction they turn around and try to rob Nogales. There remains to be told their most recent swipe al the line city, which has been cir cumvented. The chief beneficiary of the proposed grab was here two or three weeks ago to look over tho
 ground, and he gave away the snal
 prematurely.

in Nogales, and in the County of Santa Cruz; but in the broad field of national politics where there are at stake great principles, and di- verse policies of government are in opposition, that kind of a game will not succeed. Mir. Roosevelt cannot win anything in the field of national politics with the game that Emery Miller has found so successful here in Nogales. Too many people see and hear him when he undertakes the back pat ting, bar bellying process upon a scale so colossal.

DON'T WANT THAT KIND.

Judge Williams, associate justice of the supreme court of Texas, has resigned on account of the inadequacy of the $4,000 official salary. And while the amount paid the members of the court is small, the Times will guarantee there are 25,000 lawyers in Texas today who would be perfectly willing to accept the job.-El Paso Times.
 And very likely there are law. yers in Texas who would take the job at $500 per annum. But would the Times want that kind of lawyers on the bench?

THE Arizona Gazette, Daily Globe, and other radical pro- constitution newspapers continue to give assurance of what will be done for statehood for Arizona in the special session of Congress by Senator Owen, Senator Bourne, Senator La Toilette and other pro- gressives. It would be more to the point if they would give assurance from Senator Bailey, Senator Lodge, Senator Root and about twenty others that none of them will interpose an objection when a resolution for admission of Ari- zona reaches the stage where under the rules of the Senate unanimous consent will be required for it's consideration. There's where will be the rub. One senator in op- position can block the desires of all the others. And there are a number so opposed to admission ot Arizona that they will raise obiec' tion wherever consideration is asked for such a resolution.

WILL BE MORE CAREFUL.

THE OASIS of Nogales is real good about giving credit when it uses the shears, but it is rather careless as to who the credit goes to, as is evidenced by it's last issue in which five Yuma items, four from the Enterprise and one from the Sun are copied and credited to the wrong papers.-Yuma Enterprise.
 The OASIS had no idea that any of its contemporaries watched these columns so closely. Closer atten- ton will be given to making credits correctly.

WHEN he was at Albuquerque ex. President Roosevelt was quoted as having said that in case of war with Japan, which he believes is threatened and likely, he will raise division of cavalry for service against the Japanese. Had Presi- dent Roosevelt refrained from his foolish intervention between Japan and Russia, at the time of the Russo-Japanese war, and permitted Russia to have gone on and cleaned up Japan, as it should and could have done, there never would have been any necessity for organization of division of American cavalry by Theodore Roosevelt or anyone else.

ROOSEVELT is repeating the double barebacked act riding two horses going in opposite directions which cost him 80 dear in the East last year-training with the pro- gressives in one state and the standpatters in another. At Phoe- nix he was against the recall of the judiciary-at Los Angeles he pro- nounced for it.

NocALEs POLITICS NATIONALLY.

While at Phoenix President Roosevelt told Arizonans that re- call of the judiciary is a vicious power which should have been omitted from the Arizona constitu- tion. At Los Angeles the same eminent gentleman assured Cali fornians that with such a bench as they have been cursed the recall of the judiciary is really necessary and should be incorporated into their fundamental law, proposi- tion for which is now before the people of that state. If the prln- ciple of the recall as applied to the judiciary be good in one state it is good in all, and ought to be adopted by all. But if it be vicious in Ari- zona, likewise it is vicious in Cali fornia, and in all states.
 The very case in California that has been advanced as reason for extending to the judiciary the principle of the recall-the Ruef case-shows that even the supreme court of state bends to an aroused public opinion. The supreme court of California had opened practical ly the prison doors to let Abe Ruei go free. Immediately an outraged public sentiment made itself heard and the court turned itself inside out in it's haste to recede from the odious decision, and slammed the doors of the prison in the very face of the almost liberated boss. The recall could not have operated more quickly, more expeditiously nol better.
 But to return to the subject. IT these two positions taken in tn, same week upon an all absorbing topic, Colonel Roosevelt has showr again the insincerity and duplicit! of his nature. But he is too con spicuous man-his utterance travel too far and wide-for hin to "play politics" in that way That kind of a game may be sue cessiul in small places, and upon
 narrow feld-as it is so frequentl
