THE SECRET OF SUCCESS.

Success = large or extraordinary
sue ess-is almost invariably the re-
suit of boldness The world does not
yield it's prizes to the slow, the doubt
ing or the hesitating, but to hose
who, with an intentness which devi-
ates never, and a determination Ma
poleonic in it's strength start for the
goal they wish to reach. The start
is the all-important thing.
Gothic says: "If you can do a
thing or dream you can, begin it.
Boldness has power and magic in it. y
"Our doubts are traitors, and make
lose the good we oft might win, by
fearing to attemp-," says Shakes
peare.
do the thing, and We have the pow
er" says Emerson, and he, one OF the
Worlds Illumined, never uttered a
more inspiring truth.
To few human beings, even the
lowliest among men, has not come
at some favored moment an idea, a
mind creation, which, if coupled with
the proper degree of will and execu-
tive force, might have been material
lied, thereby changing the entire
course of their lives, says Little
Farms. Instead of lives of longing
and uncertainty they might have en-
joyed lives of achievement and self
approval-of great success and power
for good.
o, faint-hearted brother, buck up!
Are you working for wages and hav-
ing a hard time making the meagre
weekly stipend cover the cost of rent,
groceries and clothing for yourself
and family? If so, know that the Om-
nipotent Ruler of the universe never
so ordered things that you or any 9th
er of his creatures should remain in
such condition.
Begin now to think your way out
of it. keep on thinking, and the idea
will eventually come, and when it
does come don't discuss it into fraz-
zles with your neighbors and friends.
1t is your idea and is a valuable
thing; not to be handed about for
the inspection of those who, per-
haps, could not distinguish gold from
pyrites and to whom a diamond in
the rough would appear valueless
pebble.
The idea relates to your talent or
it would not have found Judgment in
your mind. Accept it as a gift from
the OmnipOtent Source of Good and
go ahead to materialize it, Don't al
low obstacles of any kind to discOur-
endeavor Say to yourself again and
again that you can overcome all OBJ
stacles, and behold there are none to
stay your onwrad course.
Blessed is the man with a dOmi-
nant purpose who prays for it
works for it-lives for it!

And, above all, never waste any
time in indecisiOn and postpOnement.

PERFORMS HIS DUTY.

In introducing on the, opening day of Congress, a joint resolution for the approval of the Arizona Constitution, Delegate Cameron has simply done kis duty as has been his practice ever since he took his seat in the halls of the national legislature. Ralph Cam eron went to Washington as the rep resentative of all of the people of Arizona and he has served them wig orously honestly and effectively on all questions affecting this Territory. In his work, he has known no partisan ship. He has worked as faithfully and as earnestly in securing pensions for Democrats as for Republicans. He has shown no favoritism for sections or communities. When any city or individual wanted any work done at Washington, Cameron was there to do it and it invariably had his prompt attention.
 Therefore, it was only natural that he should work for the approval of the constitution in view of the fact that it represents the views of q majority of his constituents, or to be correct, a majority of those who voted at the ratification election.
 In doing so, Delegate Cameron again evidences the broad spirit that has characterized all of his labors at the national capital. Whether the eonsti- tuition will or not be, approved by both houses of Congress, Mir Cameron has certainly performed his duty.

iFrom Tuesaay.s Dailvl


 During a brief business visit to the city yesterday, c. E. Mckinley, presi- dent of the Mckinley Mining and De velopment company, imparted the i'm portant information that development is going ahead on his interests at a lively rate, with a force of fourteen miners. In few days, or as fast as the working. will permit the force will be increased until there will be one of the largest camps in that see tion.
 One of the obstacles that faces the prosecution of work is the bad con dition of the county road below Iron Springs, which practically prohibits loaded teams passing over. At the present time four ear, loads of mine supplies and material are on the side track, and until repairs are made, delay must necessarily follow in de- livering. With the remedy. applied, MT. Mckinley states that he will spend at least $1O,OOo in improve ments. Mine work is proving satis- factory, and he is much. pleased over determinations made since operations were resumed a few weeks ago.

CONGRESS IN SESSION.

The Congress of the United States has been called into extraordinary session for the purpose of ratifying the treaty of reciprocity with Canada. The Democratic party, which has come into control of the house for the first time in many years, has, however, outlined a program for legislation which comprises comprehensive re- vision of the tariff and many minor Issues, such as the election of senators by popular vote and the admission of Arizona and New Mexico as states. There is very little doubt that the majority of our people desire closer trade relations with Canada and, as James J. Hill pointed out, if we do not take advantage of the present op- pOrtunity the trade relations between Canade and Great Britain will become closer and closer and our manufactur- CTS will suffer from preferential tariff greatly fsvoring the mother country.
 The greatest difficulty in dealing with the tariff question arises from the divergent interests of our people in different sections of the country. What is for the advantage of one may be to the disadvantage of an other in local way, and it. seems impossible to secure study of the matter from the broad standpoint of the greatest good for the greatest number It is section against section and interest against interest, while up to date our tariff laws have rep resented a division of the spells agreed upon by the different interests through those representing them in Congress. The President fully appre- ciating this phase of the tariff ques- tion, has offered as a solution, the creation of a permanent tariff investi- gating committee 30 as to provide Congress and all others with impartial

Earnest ''dry farmers by the score gathered at the schoolhouse at Jerome Junction Monday afternoon to hear Dr. V. T. Cooke, Director of Dry Farming of the State of Yyom- ing, expOund the doctrines of his branch of the land industry. Enthusiasm marked every moment of the meeting which lasted more than two hours. Standing room only was obtainable when Dr. Cooke was introduced by the chairman and, as the expert proceeded with his dis course, every word was hungrily drunk in by the assembled agrieul- turists. Questions were asked by the farmers and answered by Dr. Cooke and several of those present declared that they would have journeyed across Arizona to hear the good news the speaker gave.
 On the way to the meeting, Dr. Cooke examined the soils of Lonesome Valley between Prescott and Jerome Junction, taking in the Harvey dairy farm at Del Rio en route.
 Probably the most interesting farm visited was that of MT. Muchler, a recent arrival from Whateom, Wash iugton. This energetic farmer is al- ready growing exceptionally good stands of spring and winter wheat; he has planted mixed orchard, grape vines, and small fruits.

DRY FARMING CAN
 BE MADE SUCCESS
Declares Agricultural Expert From Wyoming After Examining Lands
 Between Here and Del Rio
(From Tuesdays Daily)

| Dr. Cooke, shows that Mr MuehIer is on the right track, because he has shown that he utihzes his intelR- genee as well as his muscle and this is the fundamental rule for the sue. cess of all dry farming.
 Several members of the audience showed their vital interest in dry farming by the number of intelligent questions they asked the Doctor.
 These men showed that their heart ;s in their work, because they are trying to ascertain the most approved methods of conservation of moisture.
 From the hurried visits made over yesterdays route and after examin- ing the soils and finding out, in a general way, the climatic conditions, the Doctor sees no obstacle to the sue cess of dry farming in Yavapai county.
 Today a trip will be made to Dewey, starting from the Chamber of Commerce at g o'clock sharp. Driv- CTS of the automobiles which are to eerry the party to Dewey and thence this afternoon, to Camp Verde, where addresses will be made tomorrow morn ing, are requested to be on hand punetually.
 Among the visitors to Jerome June ton, who, by their presence signifed their keen interest in the dry farm campaign, were Messrs Hazeltine, Frederieks, Ling, Howard, F. c. Brown, z. O. Brown, Paul Burks, Kent, Dillon, Hope and Doyle.

information based on the broad view
 of the subject. It is doubtful if
 Congress will agree to this, but it
 may be possible to maintain the ex-
 isting Committee and accomplish
 much the same purpose.
 It is easy to see that the report of
 such Committee will be of very
 great value, and the desire of the President to postpone action on the
 tariff question until such reports are at hand is statesmanlike and honest
 It would of course, mean revision 1 of one schedule at time and thus
 disturb business to the least possible extent. The leaders in the new house
 seem to feel, however, that they can
 make political capital by posing as
 carrying out the platform promises of
 their party. In this they are making one of those mistakes SC often made
 by politicians, who do not always
 see the trend of public sentiment un- til they have been struck by a cyclone of votes. The results of the last election proved that the country con- demned the Payne -Aldrich tariff law, but they did not prove that the Presi- dent's kind of tariff revision is not popular, and as matter of fact senti-
 ment is becoming stronger and strong
 CT in favor of it, and the leaders of the Democratic party would do better for the party prospects by adopting it. than by attempting general tariff revisions at the extra session which convened last Tuesday.
 The press is quite generally advising this stand in view of the threats to make the reciprocity treaty ratifcas ton dependent on tariff revision. Such policy will be for the purpose of putting the Republican majority in the senate in a hole, so to speak. Playing politics at the expense of the prosperity of the people is, however, .a dangerous game, as the Democratic leaders are apt to find out if they try it. The average business man is praying for relief from too much legislation and agitation and is find ing it hard to keep his patience pend ing the handing down of the decisions by the supreme court. He certainly is opposed above all things, to a long drawn out tariff discussion at this time. Some day politicians will need and demand a chance to progress and develop. Just now the trade of the United States is depressed and there is universal complaint and lack of confidence, largely, because of the fear that the Democratic majority in the house will do what they say they are going to attempt, while the early passage of the reciprocity treaty and adjournment would be immediately reflected in better business and great CT confidence.

water was only 40 degrees, and ask
ing that the order might be Cancelled
Without saying a word Prince Helm
rich sprang, in full uniform, from tho
deck, swan towards the bow OF the
vessel, and clambered up the ropes.
Stepping on the deck, he walked up
TO the startled lieutenant and re-
marked with smile: Did you say
anything. just now?'
"N-no, your royal highness," was
the reply.
The crew betook themselves to their
swimming practice, while the prince
looked on in his dripping clothes.
