 OVER TRACES
Arizona Democrat.l

walls we hear in certain portions of Arizona? It sounds like wild geese seeking their winter quarters, or an aggregation of coyotes sending up their discordant strains on the nearby desert: Traitors, special in. terests; no statehood papers; our country is in danger; the Arizona Gazette is your salvation: every newspaper but it is fighting the peo. pie; fly to us and We will care for you; you have no other friend: your children are tied up in Arizona Ga zette; come 10 us and we will lea0 you to the boundary line of hope. We don't want your subscription: We would not take your money: we do not want your political influ- enee; it is a question of God. of love, of hope. of patriotism, of high minded citizenship. of lofty aspira- tions-the outcome of years of re- ligious training and philanthrophy."
 Thus sings the sweet-scented Akers of the Arizona Gazette, as he folds his pious hands in solemn la, mentatiOns over the woes and the heart-breaking conditions that con. l front his OWN PEOPLE"
 i The Democrat dislikes to break in on his sublime picture. We apol. ogize humbly for disturbing the DO. tential mediations of this Napoleon of the Lord in his grand emulations of Jesus in the Garden of Geth,semane | as He cried in agony. 70 Lord. let this cup pass from Me; neverthe- less let Thy. not My, will be done"
 This grand heroic soul. away back in the dark ages, that suffered and died that men-that nations and gov ernments- might live and prosper that the word Of God might become the law of men-this sublime life went out that His children might survive and prosper. So He closed His glorious eyes in prayer and sur rendered Himself to the HAND OF HIS FATHER.
 Ever since that day, frauds and fasers. mountebanks and public de. eeiyers. political and religious i'm, posters. in all guises. in all lands, In all ages. in all callings, in all the walks of life, We find thee men The greater the humbug. the more noise they make. This is especially true of political quacks and quack newspapers.
 | We have listened to the shrieking of the Arizona Gazette for the past two months on this statehood, or con stitution question with varying moods. We thought of the man at the head of the Gazette; we thought of his long record. political and so- cial. in Arizona; we pictured him fin his Prescott home years ago; We fol lowed him to Phoenix; we thought of the legislators he had debauched, of the ballot boxes he had stuffed. of the thousands of fake-even crim- inal and bogus-incorporati he had and is now engaged in creating and sending broadcast over the world under the title of the AYERS INCORPORATION COMPANY"-a company that will organize for S30 any kind of company of imposters the parties desire, from skinniue farmers under the guise of a gold brick to defrauding the servant girl by selling bogus mining stocks. We thought of these things, and We won, dered at the gullibility of mankind We further wondered at the mar vicious display of the Gazette over a statehood fight" that never ex isted; at the vicious shrieks of sn-s newspaper Jackal about condition that had no life or existence; at the maddening efforts of this public Prostitute to build ID straw men and brandish it's bIoodless bludgeons around the ears of these self-created victims, and shiek for help when 10 one was assauIting.
 Newspapers and men as a rule are not amenable to personal criticism. but when a newspaper and the men at it's head consistently set them selves up as paragons of morality and pTobity. and hold up to public indignation every man or newspaper that dares to disagree with them then both newspaper and indiyidual are open to public inspection.
 Now. in candor. we ask what has there been about the Arizona Gazette or it's president. c. II. Akers that either should be held up as shining models of society? What rules of society or moral ethics can be applied to the Gazette and it's managers that should make if. n, them. the WHITE MANS HOPE IN ARIZONA?
 Are the men who have lived in this territory for years--whe nav, helped to blaze the trails, who have raised families. aided in building up the country, have been true to their obligations as citizens and fathers ! Ne I- a
