Fair Women of the White House

James Monroe, the nth president Of the
United States, married Elizabeth Kort-
right, great belle in New York City In the
time Of Washington's inauguration, when
Monroe, then senator, first met her. She
was the daughter OF Laurence Kortright
who had been a captain In the English army
and who remained In New York City after
the peace OF 1888 that his children might
be educated. His daughter, Elizabeth. was
born in that city in 176s, and died In Vir-
ginia In 1850.
After Mrs Monroe's marriage she lived
for a time in philadelphia, whittier the seat
OF government had been removed In 1874
her husband WAS appointed envoy extraor-
binary and minister plenipotentiary to
France. She accompanied him then, and
again In 1903 when President jefferson APP
pointed him TO the same post
1t was while her husband was minister
to France that Mrs Monroe exefted her In
fluence and secured the release of the
Marchioness de la Lafayette, who was In the
prison OF La Forier hourly expecting to be
executed. She was In Europe again with
her husband during his ministry to Eng
land.
When her husband became president,
Mrs. Monroe's I'll health prevented her
from much activity in the white House. A

Ralph Cameron,
The Peoples Choice

Yesterday in Phoenix, Ralph Came :
on Arizona's loyal delegate to con-
gress was given the largest ovation
ever rendered public man in Arizona.
And the outburst of enthusiasm was
all the more spontaneous, and all the
more inspiring because it was deserv-
ed. Ralph Cameron pledged state
hood to the people if elected, and he
worked day and night until he full
filled that pledge.
One Of the finest things about Cam
eron is that he is totally unselfish and
very modest in speaking of his own
accomplishments; praise of his work
must come from others.
He has regarded himself as a SER
want of the people of Arizona from the
day they elected him to congress. He
did not wait until his salary started to
begin his work. He went to Washing
ton at once and got acquainted with
the members of both houses and by
the time he took his seat he knew
more men prominent in the public life
of the nation than many congressman
who had already served several terms
Cameron has accomplished far more
than he has ever promised. 1t has al
ways been sufficient for him to know
+bof q MON moe on Ar;zorio, Co., IT.,
to do his best to serve him; he has
never waited to find out the mans Dol.
itics.
And it is always noticed about Cam
eron that when an Arzonian asks him
to do something that Cameron always
gets what he goes after
And right here let it be said that
every man in Arizona who is honest
and truthful, knows that Ralph Gamer
on has done his duty fearlessly and
we'll; also knows that if elected to the
United States senate that he will con-
tinue to do that duty to one and all
alike.
There is not one spot on Ralph
Cameron's record, and as he said in
his speech yesterday in Phoenix: 'T
am going before the people of Arizo-
ma on my record"
Welcome home, Ralph Cameron.
Thrice welcome as a candidate for the
office of United States senator from
Arizona. A grateful people will re-
ward you as you deserve.

Colony of Russians

Phoenix, Sept. 20-A second colony
of 700 Russians from the southern
part of the great Muscovite empire,
but who have been in California for
the past few years, will soon be To-
Gated in the Salt River valley. The ex-
act location has not yet been decided
upon, but it will be somewhere in the
Glendale neighborhood. Following the
lead of other Russians who are already
established in that part of the valley.
these 700 families will settle on con-
tigious tracts and will have their own
churches and other institutions. They
will not have their own stores, how
ever, as it is their intention to do their

John S. Williams, district attorney
of Cochise county and candidate for
congress, spoke for his section. Mr.
Williams surprised everybody in the
assemblage by his power as speaker.
Starting off with what the Republi-
cans had done in the past and could do
in the future, he made a speech that
was the hit of the day and stamped
Mr.. Williams as an orator of ability, d
scholar and gentleman.
Professor Percival Lowell, of Flag
staff, made the talk for Coconino
county.

Arizona and Arizona people, and stat

Gila county, made a strong plea for

men that would go before the people
on their past records and ask fer their
support, He was roundly applauded.
w. H. Clark interrupted proceedings
long enough to invite every candidate
to Winslow for the pioneer celebra-
ton next month.
For Yuma county Attorney Thomas
D. Molloy did the talking. Molloy is
not a diplomat, that much is certain.
He said that he was a Republican, but
an insurgent like a lot of his neigh
bors. From his talk it might appear
that Yuma county was an insurgent
camp, but when a smile of dignified
amusement went around the room DUR
ing his talk, it was easy to see that
he was engrossed with his own ideas
more than he was with the sentiments
of his party. Molloy said nothing that
alarmed the friends of statehood very
much, but from his talk it might be
gathered that he was a Socialist.
Attorney Morrison spoke for Yava-
pia county and made one of his usual
brilliant addresses.
Judge VIM. F. Cooper, of Tucson,
made a brilliant address and stated
that after majority of the people of
Arizona had ratified the constitution
that each and every citizen of Ari-
zona should likewise be for it, and
that he for one, was for the constitu-
ton; every line of it, if that was what
a majority wanted.
There was much applause over his
address and he was followed by 9TH
ers from other counties.

District, Ell Centro.
Sir: Your letter of July 22nd, rela
tive to protective work along the Col
orado river was duly received
Both ex-President Roosevelt AMI
President Taft have recommended in
messages to congress reimbursement
to the Southern Pacific railroad COM
pany for expenditures made by it in
connection with the overflow of the
Colorado river. Bills in line with the
recommendations to congress have
been introduced, but as yet no appro-
priation for such reimbursement has
been made No committee or other
congressional reports relating to this
matter are available to the depart
ment for distribution, but they can un
6oubtedly be had on application to the
congressional committee.
Present plans provide for the use of
the balance of the $1,000.O00 appropri-
alton made June 25, 1910, in making
repairs to the levee recently construct
ed, as well as strengthening the exist
ing levee Immediately north of Volca-
no lake. This work is to continue un-
der the supervision of Col. Ockerson
1t is, of course, the desire of the gov
ernment to effectually and perma-
nently control the Colorado river in
order to protect the lands and prop
erty in the Imperial valley To do this
however, will require additional funds
and it is therefore; very likely that
the entire subject will be laid before
