1t is encouraging to notice that forty
four states have adopted an age limit
for working children. Thirty six states
prohibit night work by youngsters; and
forty-two limit their working hours.
This is not all that should be done, but
it is a forward step in the conservation
of human life.

When the class goes for picnic, and they find

And somebody tips the barrel that contains the

And some fall from the hammock and the

But must smile with sanity patience when a

that life is gay.

And you sit down to dinner but you rise to

For the bugs are in the ice cream and the ants

REECE LINC'S CANVASS.

Prescott, Ariz., Oct. 4.-"If 1 did not feel that will secure practically the unanimous support of the democ- racy of the North I would withdraw from the senatorial contest today"
 Thus spoke Reece M. Ling of this city today upon his return to his home city after whirlwind tour of the northern tier of counties.
 "Everywhere I have been l have been royalty treated and have re- ceived dozens of assurances of SUD- port from the leading democrats of the places I have visited. did not enter this race until I was morally certain that I could win and the fur ther the campaigni progresses the more firmly I am convinced that I will be one of the democratic nomi- nees for the senate. This is not said in egotism but is the result of care ful survey of the field and calm con sideration of existing conditions, /" continued MT. Ling.
 Democrats and republicans alike in Prescott, and in fact throughout all of northern Arizona, have rallied to the standard ot the north's favorite son, and wherever MT. Ling goes in this part of Arizona his reception practically amounts to non-partisan endorsement.
 Mir. Ling leaves here in d day or two for che southern part of the ter ritory where he has many friends. He fully appreciates the fact that the voting strength of Arizona rests with the south but states that he feels certain that the voters in that part of the state to be will deal fairly with northern candidate.

GOOD ROADS CONVENTION
Assurances of East and West High way Through this County

Dell M. Potter. Mat Danenhauer Pete Riley, H. O. Tunis and L. J. Turney, returned to Clifton on Thurs day evening from Prescott where they had been to attend the Arizona Good Roads Association which was in session in the northern city for two days during the first part of the week
 The Greenlee County delegation was present at Prescott to urge the location of the east and west Tran scontinental Highway through Ari- zona via Clifton. The.delegation was eminently successful and when the Transcontinental Highway from New York City to Los Angeles is finally located it will include Clifton.
 From Kansas City the highway will come to Santa F'e, N. M., from Santa Fe to Albuquerque, thence to the west boundary of New Mexico at point about opposite Springerville, then south west through the Forest reserve to Clifton, across the Gila at Sheldon, down the Gila Valley to Globe and thence to Phoenix and Yuma.
 The Clifton delegation say there was good deal of criticism of Ora ham and Greenlee counties for not making the territorial levy for the east and west highway through Ari- zona.
 Governor Sloan stated in a speech that he was in favor of the Transcon- tinental Highway coming through Clifton and the Gila Valley but was unable to do anything until the levys were made in Graham and Greenlee counties.
 The Association arranged with the Governor to call a convention on Nov. 9th at Phoenix in conjunction with Governor Mills, of New Mexico, and Governor Johnson, of California, for a Southwestern Good Roads As- soCiatlon convention. Twenty-eight delegates will be appointed by the Governors of the respective states The object of this convention will be to get together the representatives of Arizona, California and New Mex ico and formally agree on the exact line accross these three states for the Transcontinental Highway.

NJ DECISION IN
 wees CASE
Following Hearing Before Ter ritOrial Board of Examiners Duncan Principal Tenders
 His Resignation

Phoenix, Oct. I.-Testimony in the case of Clarence Wiggs, principal of the school at Duncan, Greenlee | county, who is accused of acting in an improper manner toward two young girls who were his pupils, was heard by the Territorial Board of Examiners yesterday. Judgment was reserved and will not be handed down before Monday, atthe earliest.
 The Board of EXa aminers sat as a court with Kirk Moore, territorial superintendent ot public instruction, as chairman. w. w. McNeff and Prof. J. D. Loper, the other mem bers, were both present.
 John R. Hampton of Clifton con- ducted the case for the prosecution while Judge Waters of the same place appeared as attorney for the defense. The first witnesses examined were ForestStewart and Esther Chiffon, the girls in the case. Both testified that Wiggs acted toward them in a way that DO teacher should act toward pupil.
 School Superintendent Aker of Greenlee county testified for the prosecution and a number of affidavits from persons living in and around Duncan were presented. Several of these affidavits alleged that Wiggs was seen buggy riding with the Mac tenan girl, that he had his arm around her and was giving l tion of unbounded affection.
 Wiggs testified in his own behalf and his attorney introduced a number of affidavits to show that Wiggs has always borne au excellent reputation and that he is incapable of such ac- tion as heghas been accused of.
 The case is an exceedingly hard one to decide and it is possible that the board may wish to make some private investigations before giving its de- cislon. If the decision is against Wiggs he will lose his position at Duncan and his certificates to teach in Arizona.
 Wiggs has the support of the trustees of Duncan district, who re- fused to discharge him when the de- mand Was made upon them that they do so.

SOCIALISTS WILL VOTE TICKET
Socialist Party Will Have a Full State Ticket in the Field at Con.
 ing ElecUIon

A meeting of the socialists iC lif- ton was held this week and CT meeting has been called for V uy evening next. That the so- sts will have a full state ticket in the field has been definitely settled at a conference of socialists from all over the territory held at Phoenix on Sep tember 25th and the required peti- tions have been circulated which en- sures that the socialist state candi- dates will appear on the official bal lot for use on the day of the primary elections throughout Arizona.
 It is reported that legislative ticket may be put forward by the socialists in Greenlee county but that no nominations will be made for county officers.
 There was d hope on the part of some democratic candidates tor state offices that the socialists would re- frain from putting a state ticket in the field this year and were counting on the socialist vote to help the ID into office. But it seems such will not be the case. G. W. Williams,a mem- Der of the socialist party in Clifton, says the socialists throughout the territory will support the socialist state ticket.

Trade With Hawaii.

Seattle Intelligeneer: Seattle has
had a direct steamship line to Hawaii
for long time. But until now it has
never had q direct line from the ISL
ands to Seattle. The vessels in the
trade heretofore have covered trian-
gular route. From Hawaii they pro-
ceeded to San Francisco. from San
Francisco to Seattle. and from Seattle
back to Hawaii. This routing Of the
vessels has permitted a considerable
expansion of our exports to Hawaii.
building up of q reciprocal trade.
Now the steamship Honolulan is on
her way from the islands to Seattle
direct. carrying cargo of island prod
ucts for this market. Included in the
cargo is one shipment of 500 tons of
canned pineapple, to be distributed to
the trade from this port.
The commencing of an import trade
with Hawaii means good deal, be-
cause as our imports from Hawaii in
crease so will our exports. 1t also
permits of the supplying of the mar
ket tributary TO Seattle with Hawaiian
products, instead of having all Of the
distribution take place from San
Francisco, as has been the case In the
past.
In one respect alone will San Fran
cisco continue to have an advantage
in the Hawaiian trade. The principal
product OF the islands is raw sugar,
and the only refineries in American
territory on this coast are located i'll
California, Hawaii will not ship sugar
hither because, in the absence Of re-
nneries, there Is no market for 1t.
But there are developing other in
dustries in the islands. The canning
of pineapple is one of them. The
Hawaiian fruit is getting hold on
the market. The commercial produc-
tion OF other tropical fruits viii be
stimulated by the success of the pine
apple establishment. Seattle has a
big territory in which to distribute
tropical products and will doubtless
build larger trade in them. now that
transportation facilities from the ISL
Rnds are afforded.
