THE WSI- PGENTS.


The New York Times" under the IRON
zeal caption. MIR. Taft's Usurpation,'
explains why the President finds himself
with the whole country behind him in
his fight for Canadian reciprocity. and
why the Republican insurgents in vainly
opposing that policy find themselves in
Il position of embarrassment and dis
comfort. Says our contemporary
The explanation Of the Presidents
domination Of his party and the situa-
ton is that for the first time i'm recent
years the Republicans arc led by COM
mercial statesman instead of by com
mercial politicians. The President IS so
far above tariff graft that he deliberately
staked his future upon the welfare OF the
country. lie is rewarded by finding the
country behind him. almost regardless
% party. This was the proud and happy
position Of the insurgents when their
position had some points of resemblance
TO that Of the President. But when the
test Of sincerity came they were UNI
equal to II. They were wrecked on the
selfshness of themselves or Of their
sections
This sums the situation up in a nut
shell. although The Times would have
been well within the facts had it failed
10 suggest the alternative. "the selfish
ness of themselves or Of their sections"
That the selfishneSs was purely personal,
not sectional. is proved by the fact that
leading newspapers which may he ac-
cepted as rejecting the sentiment Of
their sections are strongly behind the
President as notably "The Des Moines
Register and Leader" THE Milwaukee
Sentinel" and "The Free Press" "The
Minneapolis Journal " THE Topeka Capt.

of others. The insurgents misjudged
fhe sentiment Of their sections. but they
misiudged It chiefly because they were
actuated by personal rather than pa
triotic motives. They commanded pop
uIar respect and support so long MS they
were believed TO be lighting for principle.
They proved they were not fighting for
principle when they repudated reel
procity. and logically they forfeited the
respect aud support they had previously
enjoyed. They had conceived the idea
that they could overthrow Mr. Taft az

The announcement that the British
sovereign. acting as arbitrator, has de-
cided the American claim against Chill
in our favor is highly gratifying. The
AlsOp claim has always been regarded
here as legitimate and just. and the dis
pute over it chiefly involved the question
whether Chill, having seized by conquest
the territory OF africa, should be bound
by the obligations resting against It.
The decision that she is thus bound is
in accordance with equity and with the
general principles OF international law.
The impartialty of the decision, which
in any case would be above suspicion, is
emphasized by the circumstance that
the two parties TO the controversy are
those with which, OF all American states,
British relations are most intimate and
most cordial.

MARlCOPA FAVORS OUR ROAD
J. c. Goodwin, of Tempe, Declares in Favor of TranscOntinental Road via
 Greenlee and Graham Counties

J. c. Goodwin, Manager of the Mi neral Department of the Territorial Fair. arrived in Clifton Monday even- ing and spent two days in the Cliff ton Morenci district arranging for the shipping of Mineral exhibits from this section to the Fair where they will be placed in the Mines and Mining build ing. Exhibits in this department to be used for permanent exhibit at the Fair grounds, and which are donated for that purpose, will be transported free from any railroad point in Ari- zona.
 MT. Good win is long time resident of Arizona aud has always taken a keen interest in every movement for the upbuilding and advertisement of the territory. He is interested, to- gether with all other public spirited citizens of Maricopa county, in the location of the route of the TranscOn- tinental Highway, east and west through Arizona and on Monday made the emphatic declaration in favor of the route east and west via the Roosevelt dam, Mesa, Tempe, Phoenix and Yuma, with the eastern connection passing through Graham and Greenlee coupties to the New Mexico line. Mr. Goodwin stated that the advantages Arizona would gain by such a highway was the advertise mept of it's resources and he was in favor of the road following the route which would bring the automobile tourists through the big mining camps and rich agricultural valleys of Ari- Zona.
 Mir. Goodwin expressed surprise that any one in Maricopa county had been quoted in favor of an east and west route for the trauscontinental highway through Ari-ona other than by way of Roosevelt, Globe, Mesa, Tempe and Phoenix and promised re- presentatives of the Clifton Chamber of Commerce that he would look into the matter immediately upon his re- turn to Maricopa county.
