Oh. Well. Why Not?

Miss Lizzie Byrom returned home Sunday night from Dewey, accompanied by her aunt, Mrs. ]. V. Dickson. Mrs. Dickisor will remain a couple of weeks visiting her sister, after which she will return to her home al Dewey. There is some talk oi Miss Lizzie returning with her aunt, but the reason we cannot publish. She is wearing a smile that is courageous and no doubt she contracted it while at Dewey, but from whom we dare not say, but will let you know later on.

Taft to find that Delegate Cam eron has been the one and only prominent factor in the limelight from the territory, who has kep, his head and knew what he was doing all the time; and day and night he has been on duty.
 The moral is that when there is good man on the job it is a good plan to keep the tinkerers away. Had this course been followed, by leaving to the Delegate the hand ling of this affair, a course oI action could and would have been mapped out that would have re- suited altogether more satisfactory than what has transpired.
 The. case of Arizona has suffered materially, but the position of the people mas, as a matter of tact, been advanced, because what has been characterized as "legalized terrorism" by President Taft will now most likely be repudiated by the Arizona people, and beyond the delay, which should be charged up to the democrats of Arizona who succeeded in having Chairman Flood pull their chesnuts out of the fire, Arizona will likely not be permanently injured Arizona may yet become a state as soon as New Mexico. But the latter ter ritory, as we'll as Arizona, has the democrats of the two territories to thank for their misfortunes.

Enthusiastic Booster for Flagstaff

Captain Geo. Afkire, who with his family is visiting Flagstaff for the first time, is an enthusiastic booster for this cool cline. Why, Pm ashamed to own up to it, but this is my first visit to Flagstaff. The people in Phoenix do not be- gin to realize what a wonderful, bracing, delightful summer eli mate you have here, or they would all come up. l have been going to the coast for years, but this really beats anything l ever knew of and I'm going to have a home here for my family next year, With this burst of enthusiasm the captain drew in a chest plumb full of cool mountain air and ex- banded his measure about eight or ten inches. Captain Alkire is largely interested in lands and the valley canteloupe crop, but has concluded that mans time on this mundane sphere is too limited to put.it all in merely keeping the hot waves moving during the summer in the Salt River Valley. Phoenix beats the world in the winter and Flagstaff does a simi- lar trick during the summer.

Labor Day Proclamation by the
 Governor

Whereas, by an Act of Com gress, the first Monday in Sep tember of each year has been des- ignated as Labor day to be known and observed as such; and
 Whereas, it is fitting and proper that one day in the year should be set aside and observed as a holiday in recognition of the fact that labor, toll and effort consti- tute the basis of all progress and all human welfare.
 Now Therefore, l, Richard E.. Sloan, Governor of the Territory of Arizona, do hereby proclaim and declare Monday, the 4th day of September, A. D., 1911, a legal holiday, and recommend that in so far as may be done without public inconvenience all business be suspended, and that the day be observed in manner behtting the occasion.

 In Witness Whereof, I have hereunto set my hand and caused the Great Seal of the Territory to he affixed.

Current News of the Week and Some of the Events of Importance in
 Which Arizona Figures
Washington, D. C.,
 August 2s, toII.
Special to The Sun:

When this correspondence reaches Arizona the good people of the territory will have thor oughly read the veto message of the statehood bill by President Taft. The presidents message is splendid document which ought to be digested by every inn patient voter where new tangled reforms are being tried out, as it might give these gentlemen an idea that instead of building up the temple of liberty as they are claiming to do, that they are, in reality, tearing it down. It seems more than strange that so many people, both in the National capi- tai and in the Territory of Ari- zona, should have been surprised at the action of the president, since MT. Taft has been shout ing from the house tops" for a year that he would not approve a constitution embodying in it a provision for the recall of judges. Even the most rabid advocates of that principle admitted in the hearings before the committees of the house that MT. Taft had warned the people of Arizona that there would be nothing doing" with "crank constitutions"
 It cannot be charged that Presi- dent Taft has not been absolutely fair with Arizona, because there has been no stage in the proceed ings during which he has not em- phasized his position in reference to the objectionable features of the Arizona document, and he has let it be known in a way that was unmistakble at all times, that un- less the recall provision of the constitution was not eliminated that the measure would not re- ceive executive approval.
 In the face of this position a large number or citizens of Ari- Zona have consistently defied the executive, and taking advantage of the fact that hot-headed Vir- ginian was chairman of the com mittee on territories of the house, they succeeded in using the house organization to carry out their plan. Since the Arizona leaders and Chairman Flood we'll knew in advance what the president was going to do when the house reso- lution finally reached him, the in- dications are that their. game was one of politics.
 The position of Delegate Cam eron in reference to this matter has been regarded by leaders in the two houses as consistent at all times. A feature entering into his connection with the advance ment of statehood since secured the passage of the enabling act last year, has been the attempted falsihcation and misrepresentation of his position in the territory and in the capital, by people who are either demagognes or so utterly ignorant of the simple principles governing the course of legisla- lion, as to absolutely make their conduct and interpretations smack of maliciousness, or lack of intelligence.
 In the face of il all the Delegate has remained undisturbed and has persisted in telling the people whom he has so ably represented just exactly what would happen unless they altered their program. This is not case of "I told you so," but it is an instance wherein

others from Cass county points,
which together with the people
from town and the surrounding

RAILROADS JACKED UP AGAIN

The railroads having for many
years fought tooth and toe nail
against every life.saving device
enioined by the government, they
are yet fighting in Ohio for the
privilege Of killing and Gripping
human beings-it was to be ex-
pected that they would refuse to
be at the cost of keeping these
safety appliances in order, and
that they would contend in Court
for exemption from that duty.
The Supreme Court has just
decided adversely this outrage
ous contention of the railroads,
declaring that not only must they
install new life protecting ma
chinery and devices, but they
must also keep them in working
order-at their own peril.
One would think that common
humanity, not less than a sound
business policy would dictate
such 8 course; but strange to. say
railroad managers have com
monty neither conscience nor
pity-have indeed but one enc
and purpose-to grind out tht
most money from the public ant
that at any cost to the public.
