the late corners. It is a piece os
 nonsense to require five years resi-
 dence to make a citizen eligible to state office. But foolish as this pro- ground that the members of the con- stitutional convention would have liked to cover. Had they dared to do so, they would have made the con- stitution say that nobody except members of the constitutional con- vention should be eligible to office until after a fixed period. And we have still another objection to the section mentioned. We should like
 to see the constitution amended so as to give the franchise to women and make them eligible to office.
 And we must also sympathize with
 the objection made by these farm CTS to the proposition that the best offices must go to lawyers.
 With reference to the proposal to secure relief from the debt con tracted for the Roosevelt dam," we do not understand that any form af repudiation is meant What is meant no doubt, is the purpose to secure an extension of the period of payment The Republican until lately has stood alone in advocating an amend ment of the reclamation act. We have insisted that the payments should extend over a much longer
 period than ten years-not less than twenty years, and twice twenty years,
 if possible. We are glad to see that
 the local papers are beginning to
 follow our lead in this matter, and
 we are especially glad to see that
 the ranchers appreciate the neces-
 sity of beginning early a campaign
 for the needed amendment of the re- cIamation act. With a representative and two senators from this state, and
 with the cooperation of the repre-
 sentatives and senators from the
 Pacific coast and mountain states
 generally, we may reasonably hope
 to secure the proposed modification
 of the law before many years.
 In fact. the resolutions adopted by the Murphy farmers are quite sensi-
 ble throughout. In the campaign ot last fall The Republican repeatedly invited attention to the fact that the
 direct primary would prove to be the most reliable of all the means proposed for securing popular gov ernment, and we are glad to see now q general recognition of the soundness of our position.

The Farmers of the Murphy District.


 The faI mers of the Murphy dis 'rict, lIarlcopa county, have already formed a political club, in anticipa- tion of the responsibilities which every citizen of the new state shOui1 be prepared to assume. We gather from the platform announced, that it is the purpose of the members of this club to encourage the organization Of numerous clubs of like character and to secure the cooperation of farm CTS and the common people" gener- ally in promoting government by the people in the new state. Some changes in the constitution are ad- vocated. For example, these farm eres propose to repeal Section of Article V, Which reads:
 No person shall be eligible to any of the offices mentioned in Section of this article except male person of the age of not less than twenty five years. who shall have been foI ten years next pISCeuihS HiS SiSo ton a citizen of the United States and for five years next preceding his election a citizen of Arizona"
 Concerning this section the Murphy farmers say:
 ''Our purpose is to change that part of the constitution which requires new and worthy peo-
 @l,f afa 4a five years before they can hold of- flee"
 We fully share with our friends III the Murphy district their objection to the provision mentioned. Some oi the very best citizens of Arizona arc

HER FLAT DAYS ARE ENDED

Reside With Son.

New York-More high life for Het-
ty Green. The little fat in Hobo
ken was closed on May 1, and Mrs.
Green, it is understood, will reside
with her son, Col Edward H. Green,
at the Waldorf.
No one will undertake to say how
long Mrs. Green will remain at the
Waldorf. For there were predictions
when she moved into the Plaza a lit
tie over a year ago that she had
thrown economy to the winds. She had
done nothing Of the kind. High life
palled on her and she went back.
But Colonel Green is a hearty man,
who can't be held under bushel nor
in a Hoboken fat, and he insisted on
seeing some of the good things of
life. Already Mrs. Green has spent
several days at the Waldorf with her
son and she seemed to like the hf0

ANXIETY WAS FOR THE KEG
oVercharge Small Matter, but Gus
toner Did Hate to See Good
Material Hurt.

Every nail-keg in the store had it's
occupant, the checker-board was work
ing overtime, and mittens and muf-
fers were stuffed in bulgy pockets, as
their owners drew closer round the
big, rusty stove.
The door opened noisily, letting in a
blast of the storm raging outside, and
in its wake followed Rufe Blevins, a
giant wood-chopper, whose good ma
ture and ready wit made him a well
come addition to the store circle.
The loafers moved a little closer to-
gether to make room for Rufe on a
soap-box, but he marched past the
friendly circle, pumped an empty
molasses-keg down on the counter,
and drew a stained bill from his
pocket, which he held out to the pro-
prietor of the store
An expectant grin went round the
circle, for Storekeeper Jones had the
reputation of never wronging himself
by overweighing or undercharging.
The merchant adjusted his glasses
and looked expectantly from the bill
to the wood-chopper.
Notice you charged me for five gal
Ions O. molasses last time I had this
four-gallon keg filed" drawled Rufe.

A missionary tree is one whose profit

A Florida woman has an orange tree

FARM NOTES.

Weeds and grasses are enemies of
the alfalfa plant.
Potash and phosphoric acid are the
necessary elements of plant food.
Potash fertilizers are necessary for
all vegetable, as we'll as farm crops.
Bromus inermis Is valuable for
age grass, especially for the binding
of loose soils.
Working ithe teams in the rain
means sore necks, and is profitable
neither for horse nor driver.
Plant only that variety of corn
adapted to your locality. The south
ern grown will forget to get ready for
frost
Burn a pile of brush in the garden
and plant that land to potatoes or
turnips and see what a fine yield you
will have.
Where there is any amount of ma
nure to be spread, the complete spread
ers are better and are ready for serv-
ice at all times.
Kainit is largely used for dressing
asparagus beds as it kills the grass
Of the asparagus.
For potatoes, grass and fruit, a fer
t!1izer rich in potash will, in almost
every instance, give the largest yields
of products Of the highest quality.
The testimony Of some of our best
farmers and writer's is in favor of sur
face manuring, especially in the win
ter on land to be plowed for spring
crops.
In some localities, where their value
has been demonstrated, manure
spreaders are considered just as nee
essary as the binder or mower and all
good farms are equipped with them.
Alongside the garden and running in
rows to correspond to the garden plot
should be grown enough mangels, tur-
nips, cabbages, rape, etc., to feed the
COW, calf, one or two pigs and a
number of hens.
While timothy and clover may be
the best where the soil is suitable,
and where the four or five year crop
rotation is followed, yet there are
many more grasses that will give
large yields, and contribute to give
profitable returns for a number of
years, requiring only an occasional top
dressing of rich manure and bone fer
tilizers to keep up the fertility of the
land
Plant some sweet corn, sorghum
and COW peas for summer and fall
forage crops to be cut and fed green.
They will save others feeds and will
be especially valuable when pastures
become short. Arrange to SOW rye
in the corn and orchard for fall and
winter pasture and for holding and
enriching the soil. Rye grown and
plowed under is one of the cheapest
and best ways of fertilizing the soil
1t adds humus to the soil both frccs
| the roots ard stems.
