A Disclosure of a Secret

Brother Dunbar of the Arizona
Democrat has been holding
something out on the voters of
Arizona in order, he says, that
he might not add to the contro-
velsial enough, and for the fur
ther reason that, if he d1vulged
what he knew, the republicans
would be spurred to greater and
possibly successful effort This
mOmentOus secret is that the
state officers, instead of being
elected for one year, they have
been elected for three years; that
there can be no election now un-
til the even numbered year of
1914.
This theory does not seem en-.
tirely new We have a recollection
that this subject was threshed
out pretty we'll early in the fall,
and it was decided by the best
legal talent iii Arizona, and legal

That get along tn best.
It's the man behind the scowlin'
That gets the frosty mitt,
An when brickbats are a-fyin',
Hes most likely to get hit;
While his neighbor who keeps smilin'
Meets with welcome signs galore,
An when good Things are a-pasin',

A railroad fireman was up for ex-
animation for promotion TO the posi-
tion of engineer. He passed fair test
on the rules and machinery, but dur
ing all Of it the examiner was constan-
ly lecturing him as to the need of &c
onomy in the use of fuel and Oil !; so that
by the time he finished his examination
it was pretty we'll on his nerves. Having
finished the technical part, the ex-
aminer thought he would put the man
in critical position to see what he
might do in an emergency; "Supposing
you are the engineer of a freight train
on a single track, and you are in head
on collision with a passenger train,
and you know that you could not stop
your train; that collision could not
be averted, and what would you do?"
The man, unstrOng by the vigorous in
struction he had received as to econ
omy, replied in this way ;"Why, would
grab the oil can in one hand and a lump
of coal in the other and jump "-Albu-

What the language of the sta
tute or of a constitution saws

quently two very different things.
and in this case it was undoubt-
edly the purpose Of the makers
of the constitution that there
should be an election on the sc

That purpose cannot be thwar-
ted by some subsequent physical
circumstance.
Unless, and this has little to
do with the contention of the
Democrat, We have an election
next year there will be a period
of vacancy in Arizona S repre- sen.
tation in the lower house of con-
gress. The term for which Mr..
Hayden was elected will expire
on the fourth of March, any con-

constitution to the contrary not

there will be a presidential cleo

constitution.
The list Of Democratic state
officers is complete and it would
be pleasant for us to conceive
that it would remain SO for three
years, but we fear that we must

that it is so But there is one

that is for the officers to give

A Lesson From Berbarous Competition

Apropos of the movement toward
breaking up monopoly, story attri-
buted to the late Senator Carter refers
to two BARRIERS who had fierce battle
in competition.
They first began by reducing the price
of shave to ten cents The other came
down to five cents, and in time both
were Offering free shaves. The situation
was desperate Finally one of the bar
bers called for painter to put out a
Sign above his door, as follows: "What
DO You Tank With Every Shave [
Give Drink"
BY ten o'clock on the first morning
there was hardly standing-room. At
last the first customer emerged from
the chair and stood waiting The barber
looked Indifferent Next he called.
CONSERVATION reigned "Where de-
manded the irate customer, "is what
goes with every shave?" The argument
waxed fierce, ana then the barber led
MIN out to read the sign again It was
found that he had overlooked certain
inconspicuous bat vital punctuation
marks that had been inserted. On close
inspection the sign said.

the track candidates performing for
several afternoons. .r4.
- Among those who will report esrly in

GOOD CARD FOR
W|NDUP RACES At
MARLBORO TRACK
Contestants Will Be Out for
Blood Today and
Tomorrow.

MARLBORO, Mr.. Nov. 17,-With the
close of the Marlboro meeting only
a day distant. the horsemen will be
out for blood and every event Is sure
to be hotiy contested.
The going Is slightly improved, but
it Is useless to expect any but slow
track for the rest of the meeting, and
all calculations should be made with
that in view.
Six good races are on the card for
this afternoon, and they all look hard
to pick. Leon b., sent out In the en-
tries last night, was rendered ineligible
by running second yesterday. This
leaves a choice bunch of dogs to COM
Pete Pet in Pst he ss he With Day ny se Tim may
Welsh Gill the contenders.
For the second race, Bertis and Sir
Edward will go well. 1t may be well
to pay some attention to Billy aBrnes:
For the steeplechase The King looks
good Garterman and Juverance may
be the contenders.
Fanchette should win the fourth race,
with Sias Grump and Mollie Kearney
dangerous.
Blue Crest may have the call in the
fifth race, with Royal Onyx and Doris
Ward dangerous.
Elizabeth Harwood looks a real good
thing for the last race. with Western
Belle and Lord Wells dangerous.
, w. B. Carson was the bright particn-
stable won three events-the first, the
fifth, and the sixth-and fair prices were
to be had against each of the winners.
1t looks very much as II the one best
bet at Marlboro was Carson. The
horses in this stable have something on
the others in the way of class, and
when the word goes down the line II
seems to be all over.

PRESIDENT ALLEN
WOULD REDUCE ALL
PLAYERS SALARIES
Starts Movement At Conven-
ton of Professional
Associations.

SAN ANTONIO, Tex, Nov 1.-THE
salary limits on every league except
the majors will be reduced next season
II movement started yesterday at the
convention of the National Association
of Professional Baseball Leagues by
Wilbur p. Allen, president of thu Texas
League, bears fruit. The plan is for a
central beard to fix a salary limit for
every league Of a certain classification
and fix penalties for the violation of
such limit. taking the power of salaries
away from the individual leagues. The
existence Of some leagues depends on
the adoption of such a rule, 1t Is con-
tended. ...... ......, ....N ...'
The advancement of the Pacific Coast
League. American Association, and the
Eastern League to a higher classifica-
ton, TO be known as class IA, was
recommended by a subcommittee which
met today. II is proposed that leagues
In this class be permitted 10 draft from
all other minor leagues.
Practically the entire business session
was devoted to the salary limit prob
lem, and In the end 1t was referred to
a committee. 1t was the consensus Of
opinion that the fixing of salary limits
either by classification or population
under the direction of the National AS
sociation Is imperative.
President Sexton, Of the National AS
sociation, President Ebbetts, of the
Brooklyn National League club, and
President Murphy, of the Chicago Cubs,
were the champions Of the Allen plan.
President Ebbetts suggested that
league presidents and club owners be
bound to insure the observance of the
salary limit imposed. Incidentally,
President Sexton urged that the paying
of railroad fares and expenses of play
ers and their families reporting or re-
turning to their home after the season
be discontinued or regulated.
Betting will be subject of discussion
tomorrow. President Baum, of the Pa
cific Coast League, announced that be
would offer a resolution asking that
Congress enact law prohibiting the
transmission by wire of bets on base

MUCH INTEREST

In Years.

MADISON, Wis, Nov. 17.-Not since
Wisconsin severed football relations
with Michigan, some years ago. has so
much interest been manifested in a
griliron contest here as Is shown in
the game between Wisconsin and Min
nesota tomorrow, which will virtually
decide the Western conference cham
pionship for the season. Fully 1900
spectators. including big delegations
of alumni of both institutions from
all over the West. are expected to fiji
the stands when the referees whistle
calls the rival elevens to battle. That
It will be contest well worth seeing
is regarded as certain in view of the
seasons records of the two teams. Lo-
cal sentiment favors the chances Of the
Wisconsin team, though 1t is freely
acknowledged the Badgers will have to
put up a hard fight to hold their own
with the Minnesota players. Minnesota
and Wisconsin have met regularly Oh
the gridiron since 1890. with the excep-
ton of the year 1906. Minnesota has
eleven victories to her credit and Wis

BREAKING OF ROAD
RECORD LOOKEDFOR
IN SAVANNAH RACES
Promoters Predict Lowering
Herrick's Time; Drivers
Are Doubtful.
BY HARRY WARD.

That the worlds road race record of
7463 miles an hour, established at
Santa Monica last month. will go by
the board when the Vanderbilt and
Grand Prize automobile races are run
at Savannah is the fond hope Of the
promoters. They have built circuit
which is undoubtedly one of the master
pieces Of road engineering in the Uni
ted states. Although the seventeen
mile route has been regarded as the
best in the country for several years.
It never has looked as good as it does
today. ..
While the promoters hope to see
new mark established, the drivers are
not so confident that Harvey Herricks 6
broken. The grind I'm the Vanderbilt
and Grand Prize races. they say. is
too long tor a record made in a far
shorter race to be bettered.
'If the worlds road record Is beaten
in either r,n Of the big ,a races; IT VIII be
winner Of the 50O-mile race at Indiana
polls. and one of the best posted men in
America on long-distance speed bat
ties.
Il believe the Western mark Will
stand for one reason alone. IL not for
more. The one reason Is that the
events are so much longer than those
run at Santa Monica, that the cars and
men will not be able to stand the strain
necessary to do better than 74.63 miles
per hour. The course Is wonderfully
built, and, undoubtedly will stand high
er speed on some of the straightaways
than any other course In the country,
but l very much fear the worlds road
sssson' sses record is safe for the rest of the
"Of course, there is one fact that
alters this condition slightly, and that
is, the cars entered in the two races
are of much higher power than those

and the driver can stand the strain for
the long distance"
