RYNNINe IS A CANDIDATE.
lGlobe-Democratl

Tom Rynning, warden of the ter ritorial penitentiary at Florence, and former captain of the Arizona Rangers when that organization was doing good work in the conver- sion of the territory from a bad mans paradise and Indian hunting ground to a fit country for peace able men to live in, is said to have gubernatorial aspirations, and it ls hinted, stands a good chance to lead forlorn hope for the republicans in the race for the first governor ship of the state. Rynning is prob ably one of the best known men m the state, thanks to his long resi- dence, and to his occupation in the past. which gave him opportunity to travel much and to know intimately men of affairs in every corner of Arizona. Before becoming a ran ger, he was a carpenter and still has a card in the carpenters union, which his friends think will give him a standing with union men throughout the state and who are particularly strong in Cochise. Gila, Yavapai and Yuma counties. He lived for years in Graham county and took for a wife a Mormon maid which, it is believed, will secure for him the Mormon vote and the Mor- mons are recognized power in Arizona.
 Besides all this. 1t is said Rynning
 is mentally and socially equipped for the position. all of which may
 be true; but his politics are wrong. iThe girst governor may be called

GREAT STRIKE Is PROBABLE.

Every day is bringing nearer one of the biggest labor strikes that this country ever witnessed. Unless the representatives of the federated em- ployes of the Hartman systm and the representatives of that great railroad system come to agreeable terms during the next few days it looks like strike is imminent which would throw many thousands of men out of employment, tempor- arily, at least, and with the possi- bility of tying up business on this great railroad system.
 The two sides to this conference are positive in their declarations as to their intentions; the shopmen claim that they are asking for noth- ing unjust or unreasonable, and that they will not take no for an an swer; on the other hand. the head of the great railroad system is equally positive in the declaration that the demands are simply impos- sible and backs this statement by ordering the dropping of thousands from the payroll, as he says, be- cause they may not be retained un- der present conditions of business.
 Should this monster strike occur 1t will not only interest the men asrirS for higher wages, shorter hours of work and the owners of the railroad system, but it will be of interest to all the patrons of the railroad system, which has twenty thousand miles of track The stop page of business on this system would within a few days paralyze business along it's entire lines.
 It is to be hoped that there will yet be a way found to avoid such a distressing condition.

CONVENTION NECESSARY.
Cooper E-a).

Cooper E-a).
 Tie Era heartily endorses the suggestions coming from all over Arizona that the territorial central committee call q territorial demo- cratic convention for the purpose of adopting a state democratic plat form and declaration of principles which the candidates for senators and representatives in congress, and members of the first state legisla- ture will be pledged to support.
 This convention would have no influence upon the nomination of any candidate in the primaries by a direct vote of the people. but it should be made certain that all can didates seeking the democratic nominations subscribe to the fun damental principles of democracy now so popular in tire nation, and which we believe will receive the eUaUfSeulSnl tl tue koAeIS ot AIT zona in the first state election.
 The democratic party should pre- sent a united front upon a common and unanimous declaration of prin- cipIes and the men nominated at the primaries for the legislature and congress, should be pledged to the support of these principals. Con fusion and strife in the party will undoubtedly follow the failure of the democratic party to adopt such a course. There is TO reason for awaiting the issuance of the proeia- nation of the governor calling the first state election. Let the call for statewide convention be issued immediately and let the call of the democratic central committee pro- vide that the delegates to the first state convention, for the purpose of framing the first declaration 6f dem oeratic principles in the new state of Arizona, be chosen directly by the people in primary election for that purpose. In union and concert of action there is strength.

HONOR TO THE OLD BOYS.

With the coming of statehood there is a disposition which is be- ing manifested at each public gath ering of Arizona citizens to pay honor and respect to the "old boys who came in the early days, punch ing a pack animal along the trail, with the Winchester swung across the saddle ready for instant use. They have remained here playing their part well in the development of the resources of the territory, and standing firm always for the main tenance of law and order. As the territory progressed and immigra- tion increased, it was natural for these same men to take a lively interest in the political affairs of the territory, which they were help . ing to build into a state For thirty years some of these men have been fighting Arizona's battle for state hood and it is with keen delight and appreciation that these 'old boys"-those who were able to withstand the trials and yicissitudes of the early pioneer days-are cele- brating victory which has been given them while they are still among the living, in the land oi their adoption. and in which they played so important a part in the making. In the program of the statehood celebrations held through out the territory we see with great deal of satisfaction that the aold timer has been given place well up in front to which his efforts entitIe him.
 Some of the "old boys" are stil spry and active in those affairs ef fecnng the welfare and prosperity of the territory They are to b' found in each and every county ana are today, as they have been in th' past. the backbone ana siPew of thu territory and will be strength il the early days of the new state

 These men know Arizona; they know it's needs, because they helped to make it. They carved 1t out of the rough in the beginning and when the time comes to launch the new ship of state we wish to see some of these "old boys on the bridge, ITO the victor belongs the spoils. and these -old boys" are the victors. These sturdy men of Arizona, those who have devoted the best part of their lives in one field of industry or another, in bringing Arizona to the point where she was deemed en- titled to the rights of statehood by ! congress; these men who are pos ] sessed of. the courage of their hon lest convictions; these men who have faced dangers in Arizona that others might follow in comfort-these are the men the Voters of Arizona should delight to honor in the se- lections of their first state officials.
 These men will not be with us long. They have fought a good fight. An act of honor. gratitude and respect bestowed during their lifetime is worth more than beauti- ful flowers strewn over their bier after they have departed from our midst. Give the old pioneer boys the first place in the political ranks, The younger element can well abide neir time for preferment-Copper Era.

Washington.-Wit only one Ma

ened by revolution that seems to
be spreading through the republic,
the Navy Department is making a
stenuous endeavor to rush adequate
protection to the scene.
The fast scout cruiser Chester was
detached from the mimic war in
Long Island sound and ordered to
the theater of real strife in Haiti. The
trip will be made in about four days.
The Des Moines has left Boston for

ships surrounding the little republic.
Both the State and Navy Depart

munication. She is not equipped
with wireless, and the port of Con
aives has been captured and isolat-

A majority Of the Republicans
voted against it. If SO voted for it,
32 were Democratic and 21 Republic
can; of the 27 against, "a were Re-
publicans and Democrats.
This action settled the whole
Canadian reciprocity question so far
AS Congress is concerned and save
for executive approval virtually made
the pact the law of the land.
The Reciprocity bill, having origi-
mated in the House, must be returned
there for engrossment and for the
signature of Speaker Clark, while the
House is sitting.
The Canadian Parliament has not
yet acted on the agreement, and with
one exception the provisions of the
bill as passed by Congress will not
become effective until the President
issues a proclamation that Canada
has ratified the pact The exception
to this procedure is in the paper and
pulp section Of the bill, which, it is
announced, will become Immediately
effective when the President signs
the bill.
The vote was taken at 1875 o'clock
after nearly three hours of steady
roll-calling, during which 16
amendments proposed mainly by Re-
publican Insurgents, were rejected,
The best any of these amendemnts-
that of Senator Knute Nelson, of
Minnesota, relating to cereals
could muster was 23 votes, and the
opposition to the bill, which sought
to attach these amendments to the
House BILL gradually dwindled to
only II votes, in favor of the La
Toilette wood pulp amendment.
The real test on reciprocity came
on the final vote, when a number OF
Republicans, who voted steadily
against the adoption of any of the
amendments because of their opposi.
tion to the Insurgents, swung toward
the recalcitrants and voted against
the final passage of the bill
Eighty Senators were present al
the final roll call. This was only

INSURANCE SECRETS Barred
Homeless Lad as Pres dent Of Two
Observation-Disclosures
Put on Trial.

Philadelphia.-At a hearing here
of three officials of IA mutual fire
insurance companies" of this city on
the charge OF operating fraudulent
concerns, a 19-year-old boy testified
that he had been picked off the street
and made president of two OF the
concerns and secretary of third at
a total salary of $5 a week. The
witness, Herman S. Robinson, said
he was homeless when hired to run
errands. He was told he must
dress up and said that one OF the
defendants had outfltted him at
clothing store. At the end OF the
hearing, the three officials, David
Balaity, Jacob Malschick and Charles
Weinberg, were held under bail for
trial.
Robinson testified he knew he had
been made president, but thought 1t
was only matter of form. He said
that the janitor of an Office building
in which the IA companies were
operated from the same room, was
also made president of one of the
concerns. Robinson further testified
that he had presided at directors
meetings of his companies, but had
no idea of what was done.
II always read a newspaper or
went to sleep. Balaity did all the
talking" he said.
Earnest X. Muller, a solicitor en-
ployed by two of the concerns which
the state insurance department
charges were all controlled by the
same principals, testified that while
he was connected with the concerns
new ones were organized with total
fake" capitalization of $1,500,00O.
The names of the alleged subscribers,
he said. were taken from the city
directory.
Harry S. Thiel, another solicitor,
testified that agents of the COM
panies got so per cent. on all busi-
ness they wrote and inspectors 10
per cea.- of all business written by
those under them"
THE money came in fast" he
testified "Balaity and Malschick
both had tin boxes in which they kept
the cash and the boxes were often
full"
The Office of the concerns was
recently raided. The concerns, 1t is
charged, wrote fire insurance in all
parts of the country and It is claim
ed their total receipts were $4,000
a month.

The bureau of animal industry has
devised what appears to be a break
fast food for horses, with the purpose
TO reduce the high cost of their living.
This substitute for oats is composed
Of cocoanut and peanut meals and II
can be produced for SIS less ton
than whole oats cost. II appears that
the horses experimental with did not
take eagerly to the new ration at first;
quite as human beings used to find
their breakfast foods cloggy until a
taste was expressly cultivated. The
horses had to get the habit without
the encouragement which liberal APP
plication of cream and sugar affords
the bipeds. In due time, however, the
animals recovered their form on the
novel diet. The ration must be un-
uuestionably justified, nevertheless,
before II can be commended to those
who truly love a horse. 1t is not the
animals fault that oats have become
n luxury. Human beings have been
Induced to eat its natural fodder in
enormous quantities and that is the
reason.

FARMS DOUBLE IN VALUE
Remarkable Increase Shown by Gen.
su, Bureau Report.

Washington.-Of marked interest,
because of many statements made
during the Canadian reciprocity de-
bate. was the Census Bureaus an
nouncement of the latest general
farm statistics of the United States,
showing that land in farms more
than doubled in value during the
past 10 years, having increased $15,-
252,7SS,O00, or 11S per cent. In
1900 they were valued at $13,O5l,
033,00O. and returns of the thir-
teenth census show they are now
worth S2S,3S3,S21,0 900.
Farm lands, farm buildings and
farm implements of the country are
valued at $95,S59, 200, compared
with $17357,425,OOO 10 years ago.
The number of farms in 1910 was
6,340,120, as compared with 5,73I-
372 in 1900, an increase of IL per
cent. The land increased in 1900
from S35,O92,O00 acres to $780,
100000 in 1910, or per cent, but
larger increase, Is per cent, is
noted in improved acreage, which
in 1900 was Ala, 100000 acres, and
in 1910, 477424,OO0 acres.
More conspicuous than the in
crease in the number and acreage
of farms has been the increase in
the improved values of farm prop
erty. The land in farms rose in
value from S13, 1000 in 1900
to S2S,3S3,S21, 900 in 1910, an in
crease of 11S per cent, and during
the same period the average value
per acre of all land in farms rose
from $3.50 to $3.50, or 1OS per
ment.
Farm buildings, which in 1900
we're valued at S3,556,614,OOO were
reported in 1910 as worth $6,294,-
O25,OOO, an increase of II per cent.
Farm implements and machinery re-
ported in 1910 as worth $1,261,S17,-
600. and 10 years previously as worth
$749,77S,O00, show an increase OF
6S per cent.

REFUGE FOR AMERICANS
They Are Given Temporary Prot c ion
on Yacht.

Cape Haitien.-Cape Hatien is in
the hands of the, revolutionists and
the sole protection of Americans and
other foreigners at this port is an
American yacht. The United States
gunboat Petrol sailed from here sew
eral hours previous to the arrival of
the yacht, leaving American interests
unprotected, and when the yacht
came into the harbor her owner,
Mr.. Dick, found the town in state
of semi-anarchy. The insurgents
were rapidly approaching and Presi-
dent Simon and his troops had left
Fort Liberte for Port au Prince.
There were rumors also that the
cruiser Antonio Simon was on her
way to lombard some of the ports.
AS is customary under such circum-
stances, most of the residents took
sides with the revolutionists and
soon the authorities were unable to
check the disorders. Mr.. Dick noti-
fed the officials that he would not
permr any bombardment by Haitien
warships and would protect the for
eigners.
At night fighting broke out in
the streets. The searchlight of the
yacht was kept playing on the house
in which the Americans who were
brought in from working on the rail-
road had collected with their wives.
The civic authorities aided in this
work.
At daybreak, however, the govern
ment was overthrown, the revolution
lists had occupied the town and the
streets were filled with excited men
shooting at random, All the Ameri-
can women were taken aboard the
yacht, while the foreign consulates
were filled with refugees.

Mr.. Wickersham said, no longer con-
trolls prices in the United States. For
years, he declared, the prices in all
the great staple industries have been
fixed by an agreement between the
principal producers and not by
normal play of free competition. An
interstate commission, the Attorney
Generals added, would prevent yio-
lations of the Antitrust Act and aid
business men to maintain continued
status of harmony with the require
ments of the law.
Many of Mr.. Wickersham's
declarations were the most radical he
has made since his entrance into off,
cial life. With the weight of an adj
ministration officer behind them, his
remarks made a deep impression
There was nothing in the speech,
however, to Indicate how far the At
torney General reflected the views OF
President Taft. On several occasions
in the past, however, he has been re-
garded as a spokesman for the ad'
ministration
Mr.. Wickersham said:
"If Congress should enact that no
corporation engaged in interstate
commerce shall hereafter acquire any
stock of any other corporation SO en-
gagged, and that unless all such cor.
porations should dispose OF al
stocks held by them in other corpora
tions engaged in interstate commerce
within some specified period, they
should be prohibited from carrying
on interstate commerce until they dld
so dispose of such stocks, the TX
would indeed be laid at the root OF

to the public, based on pledged
stocks acquired, and held pursuant
to express legal authority, would re-
quire consideration to be given 10
