POLITICAL ANNOUNCEMENT.
FOR GOVERNOR
 OF ARIZONA

VI ANlkUIVA
 l hereby announce myself as a candidate for the nomination for Governor of Arizona subject to the approval of the voters at the Republican Primary October 24th, 1911.
 Politics is nothing but business and the best business conceived by man should be the cleapest because from clean politics must evolve pure government. If nominated and elected, there will be no favoritism in the ad- ministration of government. I believe in a clean. square deal for every interest and every man.
 The principal things for which I shall strive will be:
 First: A government for all.
 Second: Economy in govern ment.
 Third: Working for more and better school buildings and high CT pay for teachers.
 Fourth: The adoption of meas ures that will, when fully matured, make the asylum for the insane a self supporting in- stitution instead of a burden to the taxpayers, as at present.
 Fifth: Prison reform, tending to the reduction of the present unnecessary expense of that in- stitution. The enforcement of more man-making methods the substitution of incentive" for punishment.
 Sixth: The continuation of the good roads movement and administration on lines that will assure more business like and permanent basis than could be secured in it's conception and early development.
 Seventh: The instituting of many reforms in government which will result in elimination of many unnecessary expenses.
 Eighth: The closer working relation between the executive and the district attorneys and boards of supervisors of the counties.
 Ninth: The application of ways. "means'' to bring the people of the state into closer relation. and the adoption of the principles of the new science now known by all ad- vanced students as ''humanicul- ture".
 Tenth: The elimination of all delays now in vogue in public business. The pigeon holing" of nothing that will admit of the answer of Ives" or mo" the day it is recieved.
 Eleventh: The promulgation of those things which will bring peace and prosperity to Arizona and thoroughly impregnate all with the absolute knowledge that any anvestment is safe. and that unity of purpose and a square deal to all is the motto of every true Arizonan.
 Respectfully submitted,
 Geo. U. Young.

SEAL RELIC OF ANTIQUITY
4 Very Small Thing to Which Great
Importance Is Some
times Given.

A most absurd thing connected with
legal business is the little piece OF
red, green or blue paper or daub OF
sealing wax which we often place at
the end of signature to deed, will
or other important document.
1t is a very small thing in size, but
one to which a great deal of i'm
portance is frequently given. 1t ts
relic Of antiquity, and no plausible
excuse can be invented for continuing
its use.
Some of the more progressive states
have practically abolished it's use by
legislation, which deprives it of any
technical legal significance. In others,
however, it is still used with all seri'
BUSINESS and solemnity, and an almost
magical value is given to 1t by digni-
fed judges that is little less than
ridiculous.
A man died years ago leaving part
Of his estate to another to enjoy while
be lived, with the privilege of devils
ing it at his death to others whom he
might select by a writing under his
hand and seal" A writing was exc
cuted so devising the property, but it
was contested by others claiming
the property upon the technical
ground that the paper contained no
seal after the signature, and the de-
wise was therefore void.
A wise Philadelphia Judge closely
scrutinized the signature and after
carefully listening to the arguments
of lawyers decided that at the end of
the signature there was an extra
scroll or flourish made with the pen
with which the signature was made
and that this was sufficient in law to
constitute a seal

She Played the Green.

The attache Of European embas-
sy was very much attracted by a
western girl of great beauty and still
greater wealth at a summer resort,
and in order to interest her deeply he
fell into the habit of discoursing at
length on his family tree and telling
her that ancestry was of great value
to man.
The girl from the west had been
brought up in a section of the country
where every man was accepted for
what he was, and not because of what
his ancestors had been or done. She
began to be bored by the attaches
lectures on pedigree.
"Blue blood" he remarked one day,
''is something not everybody can
boast Of"
"Oh, yes" she agreed indifferently;
"but what's the use of blue blood if
you haven't got the long green?"-

Night.

Along the high-hedged lane John
Strong swung, the June cleaning
deepening into night. He loved to
shove his face into the night; he
gloried in the uncertainty of night,
the indefniteness of night, and his
soul cried back a wild answer to the
cry of the nighthawk and the owl,
Night is more primitive than day,
night is more calamitous, night is a
savage, night everywhere is the true
aborigine. Day has taken ON civiliza-
ton; night hurls the world back to
the day of the war-ciub the flint ar
rowhead the painted visage. John
Strong loved the night with an al
most malevolent love In the night
he could hear the Valkyries scream
ing, the witches riding their broom
sticks, the ghouls scraping the mold
from off the buried coffin. John
Strong swung along, his face set to
meet oncoming night.-Adventure

THE POT AND THE KETTLE
In Train Results In Much EN-
barrassment.

She was not accustomed to travelling
alone, and when strange man took
the seat beside her In the day coach
she was annoyed, especially as there
were other vacant seats which he
might have chosen To make the
matter more unpleasant the train sud-
denly shot into tunnel. Hastily the
young woman remembered that in the
big, square pocket of her coat, on the
side next the stranger, was her purse.
Agitatedly she thrust her hand down
into the pocket to make sure her
purse was still there. Not a moment
too soon To her horror she felt the
strangers hand slip softly down into
her pocket, and in an instant his hand
had closed over hers. She suppressed
scream What was the use of making
a disturbance In a tunnel? People
would only grin, and imagine all sorts

f day was again turned on him he
would withdraw his hand. She then
could take another seat, and not draw
to herself the attention of the other
passengers. AS the thoughts and
plans were flashing through her mind
the train emerged from the tunnel,
and the stranger turned on her slow,
significant smile. Her hand was deep

two weeks. The business men and
representatives of Commercial Clubs

A Curious illusion.

People declare that they have seen
a field Of grass gradually change color
during shower of rain. thousands of
mushrooms springing up before their
eyes. This Is an optical illusion caus.

The mushrooms do not really spring
up during single shower of rain.
They are there already. but hidden by

down the grass it exposes the hidden
