AS was expected, the city papers on
Monday morning brought the an
nouncement of Roosevelt as a eandi-
date for the republican nomination
against President Taft for the presiden-
cy. This in view of Roosevelt's speech
last week before the Ohio constitutions
al convention, clearly draws the issue
between the stand-pat and progressive
elements of the republican party and
the rank and file of the party are lin
ing up. Roosevelt is the greater poll
tician Of the two but his announce
ment is SO Inconsistent with his de-
clarations that he considered that
he had served two terms, that he
firmly believed that no man should
serve more than two terms and that
he would not again be candidate,
that he will be at a disadvantage IN
the race but the fan is on. Taft is TO
made broadside answer to the
Columbus speech in few days at TO
ledo, Ohio, and the Col 10 going to
find that the hitherto docile Taft can
cast vigorous harpoon. He is going
to find that he will have frequent use
for his big stick on the reactionary ele-
ment Of his own party. The impoI-
tant question in this connection is,
can he win out in the Chicago con-
vention? 1t seems certain that he
may expect the full force of the pro-
gressive movement in his iparty to
come to his support but to gain this
he has sacrificed most of his friends
among the standpatters by his bold
declarations for the progressive prin-
cipIes and then he can count on all the
organized forces of the administration
to fight him to the death andw hich
usually controls the convention and
ames thecandidate The Col. has hard
aud bitter fight before him 10 vanquish
the Taft forces but this he has doubtless
thoroughly weighed and knows about
where he stands. His danger iles in his
exaggerated ego" We predict that he

ings that he has had little time for any

fully occupied. This is considered one
OF the most important investigations,
which the present Congress has under
taken and it is the intention Of the
Committee to devote a good deal 81
time to it and go into the matter
thoroughly. Mr.. Prown, as a banker
i'll country community, having had
experience in the matter of OBTAINING
meney for his bank from the great
money centers, is peculiarly qualified
for this investigation ard is expected
to make a valuable member Of the
Committee in this work.
Congressman Brown has introduced
bill to pay $4,000 to the heirs of
James w. McWhorter for properly de-
stroyed during the Civil War The
heirs are scattered throughout the sew
eral counties in the Easter part Of
West Virginia. While the omnibus
war claims bill has already passed the
House, Mr.. Brown will make an effort
to have their claim ALLOW ed.

Hon. Oscar w. Underwood AS chair
man Of the Ways and Means committe
OF the House Of Representatives has
made such record as only man oil
great abiIity and tact could make.
There Is ne denying the fact that the
present congress has done more and
better work for the country than any
congress since the war and to no man
is so much due as to Oscar w. Under
wood as the gailding force of the body.
The manner in which he has managed
the tariff Legislation has been most adj
mirable. Though he was accused by
some of the most influential men OF
his party with inciDcerity and partial
ity towards the steel trust because, as
it was said, he had money Invested in
the steel business, 1t las proven to be
without foundation for since that time
lie has reported bill, reducing the
duties on nearly all the items Ia the
steel and iron schedule from 30 to 80
per cent and after debate of two days
had the house pass the bill without
amendment by vote 210 to los, three
democrats voting against the bill and
twenty insurgent republicans voting
for 1t. Besides this reduction the bill
places on the free list number Of i'm
portant items incluing iron ore, band
iron or steel, fencing wire, nails and
spikes, horseshoes, tools, printing
presses, neutrality-suspicious., sewing
machines, cash registers, typewriters,
and machines for spreading oil or tar
on roads. 1t reduces the duty on lead
ana lead ores, and on aluminium, an
timouy, barium, calcium, magnesium
and their alloys, and on several other
IN IGOR metals.
The bill now lies in the Senate and
it remains to be seen what will be done
with it.

Tom Reed Elects Officers.

Last Monday the Stockholders of the Tom Reed Gold Mines company met in Kingman and proceeded to the election of officers for the ensuing year. The old board without exception was re- elected, Charles Grimes again becom- ing It's president. The report of the company for the year was one of the best financial statements ever present. ed to the stockholders. During the year an average of three per cent a month was paid on the capitalization of the company, amounting in many instances to far more than was originally paid for the stock. During the year many betterments were made at the mine and mill, more than co., OO0$ worth of electrical appliances alone having been purchased and put in com mission. The shaft was carried down several hundred feet and the mine exploited to the 800 level Everything in and around the mines and mill are now in the best possible shape and little betterments will be necessary this year. The sinking fund now has more than 1OO,OOOS in it and the dividend fund has enough to cover and extra dividend soon.

Sheriff J. P Gideon and A. F. Harr S received hurry call to Signal la. t Wednesday morning and made the run to that place in record time with Shorty Haskin at the wheel. The re- port here was that Mexican had shot another man, the quarrel being over a woman. They found that Mexican by the name of Arturo Muniz had a quarrel with his wife and that she had gone to the parental home, where Ar turo followed with gun with the avowed intention of cleaning up the whole family. Arturo had been dives ted of his gun by the father and had also received drubbing and was then turned over to the officers. He was held to the grand jury by the Justice of the Peace and was brought to the county jail Wednesday night.

Some Business Foresight.

The business men of Kingman do not appear to realize the importance of boosting the mines of the Stockton Hill section nor to aid the prospector and leasers of that part of the district. short time ago business was brist in the town and the merchants had their hands full waiting on the custo- mers that came here to trade. There has been some falling off in the busi- ness and this has been accounted for by the fact that this is president ial year and business throughout the country usually falls off when there is chance of a change in administra- tion. But the fact is that they have failed to place the cause for the falling off in trade where it belongs. A few months ago large force of men were employed in the Stockton Hill section, and every dollar paid out there found it's way to Kingman. Now there are only few leasers working in that sec- tion and thls has caused the falling off in business. With one hundred men at work in the mines of Stockton Hill more trade would be brought to King. man direct than if there were two thousand men in the Gold Road sec- tion. We do not believe in boosting any one section to the exclusion of another, but we do believe that it is up to the merchants of Kingman to give direct aid and encouragement to the people that most directly benefits them. Every section of the county needs aid and boosting, but the base metal mines most of all. Let the people most interested get in and make possible the success of large number of leasers on the mines in this district and the result will astonish the busi- ness men of the town.

The wave of crime that swept over

The wave of crime that swept over the county this week is to be deplored, but nevertheless this is to be expected where the law against gun toting is not vigorously enforced. In the coun- try districts the officers are helpless to enforce the law and the law abiding people in those sections should see to it that every man carrying a gun in violation of the spirit of the law is brought to book.

as result OF petition signed by 800
asking that the action be taken. The

the school board, in speaking of the
matter said Saturday. The peti-
TONERS agreed to furnish students
from among the adult population who
desire to learn English and improve
their general knowledge. The school
board feels that an honest desire to
improve ones mind should be aided
by the community. Our attorney look
ed into the legality of the move and
decided that the city could eXpend
money TO hire school teachers to
train adults. Should the classes that
are formed be kept up, the night
school will be 4 permanent feature
