THE REVERSES OF MIR. BRYAN.

Mir. Bryan has met with two re- cent reverses. The first was his fail ure to force Col Grffey. of Pennsyl, vania, his bitterest political enemy, of of the democratic national con- mittee and the other was the demo- cratic leaders disregard Of his shg- gestion in favor of the open caucus.
 Col Guffey was sustained by a de- cisiYe majority. whereupon, Mir. Bry- an is said to have threatened to ap- peal to the people.
 We believe that Mir. Bryan is not only an able man but a sincerely honest man. yet, the talk of appeal. ing to the peorle" in case of this sort is such as a demagogue usually employs The only effect of such an appeal, if there should be any effect at all, would be 10 weaken the con fidence of the rank and file of the democracy in the national organiza- tion. The matter in dispute between Col. Guffey and Col Bryan is one oG which the rank and file know little or nothing. The people could not pass intelligently upon t so that the a9- peal, instead Of being made to popu- lar judgment would only be made to popular prejudice.
 The average of ability in the mem bership of the committee. We may safely assume to be higher than the average of ability in the great body of the people and We think we may also assume that the average of hor- esty in the committee is at least as high as the average outside.
 As to Col. Bryan's plan for an open caucus, while it sounded well, il would defeat the purpose for which caucuses are held. the quiet and or derly composition of differences Of opinion. The plan agreed upon final ly by the democratic leaders, We be. lieve, will meet all objections It de- stroys the secrecy Of caucus proceed. ings. It provides for a record vote and the keeping of a journal so that the act of every member may be sEcer- tained by anyone who desires to make inquiries.

HR. CLAHKS JACKSON DAY SPEECH.

The address of Speaker Clark at the Jackson Day banquet on Monday night was filled with greater hope for the national democracy than any utterance made in recent years. Much that was said at the same banquet was not practical and it was not intended 10 be. It would have been more appropriate at a gathering of populists, but Mir. Clark's remarks possess the true democratic ring.
 His observations on the subject Of progressivism must appeal 10 all for their common sense. The democratic party is progressive m the best mean ing of that word and it has always been. Indeed. we may credit the American people generally, without regard to their party affiliations, with the spirit Of progressiveness. for the country has steadily moved forward, the government has improved and economic conditions had grown bet ter before the theorists arose and ap- piled the term progressive" to any party or faction of a party.
 The progress Of the nation in gov ornmeLtal matter is recorded in the numerous amendments to the consti- tation of the United stateg. and as surance is thereby given that other amendments will be made to meet changing conditions. But it has nev- CT been the policy of the democratic party to enter upon changes of gov ernment r.sthods 10 meet condi- ton which it may be fancifully con

High School Alumni, Students and Teachers of District
 Rendered Dance

That it IS more blessed to give than to receive, that is to receive all Jf the time and never give. is the opinion that has grown in the minds of a nun Der of young men. These self same young men have often in the pas, been the guests and enjoyed the hos pitality Of the nigh school students at the various dances which the schuI- ars have from time to time given. This has Deen very delightful but at the same time it has naturally aroused feeling in the minds of these guests that there comes a time when it is well to return kindness offered and iavors received. In other words there are in Bisbee a number of ardent be- iieyers in the doctrine of reciprocity and they insist that the tir.e to put theory into practile is at hand. Hence there is to be a dance areturn of past courtesies, rendered by these erstwhilc guests and they will be hosts while lhe former hosts of pest years and Oc this year are to be their guests.

Theatrical
 Meldnee

The San Francisco Call has the fol- lowing 10 say as to Checkers" which will be seen at the Orpheum on January 17.
 Checkers" came back to san Francisco yesterday afternoon at the Savoy theater. and found a happy welcome for its crisp, clean cut ac- tion and witty dialogue. It proved true 70 its reputation as a wholesome character play of American fife, with out problems or obscure situations.
 Robert Cayanaugh acts with sin cerity the part of Checkers. or Edward Campbell, the hero and gen ueman sport When he meets Pert Barlow, the daughter of old Adoniram Barlow, the Croesus of Clarksyil.e, in the first act. his sentiments are shared by the audience When he says, T wouldn't have believed there was a girl like her left" be makes you feel that he means it.
 Florence Heston, as Pert. pos sesses that sort of refreshing youth and girlishness that makes Checkers determine to forego the green table and raetrack to win her approval the most natural thing in the world But he looks upon her as standing on pedestal of innocence far above his reach.
 'l size myself uT as a nine spot" he says, to low for a high and too nigh for a low
 But he finds that Pert cares for him when he goes tO work in Ken. dall's store. Arthur Kendall ;i 6issi- pated son of the old merchdnt. is his rival and the man that perts father wishes her to morry. ;TEere is pretty love scene between Checkers and Pert in front Ct the store .e.s-.,.- Hg

The manner in which Checkers gets the money and how he uses it belongs to the story Of tho last two acts. They contain a racetack scene that makes your blood jingle, and an ending that is satisfactory.
 Push" Miller a racetrack tout. as played by Dave Graham, contributes much of the humor of the play. George Merritt as Cucle Jerry. Jo- seTh Wilkes as old Barlow. and Car rie Lamont as Cynthy are well cast.

THINGS THAT MAKE LIFE WORTH
 LIVING

Being obliged to smoke cigars the host passes around after the dinner party.
 Swatting one with your hand and coming down on one of those prick ly pear pin cushions.
 Getting on the car with one plugg- ed nickle and having the conductor refuse it right before the crowd.
 Trying to tie an old necktie so that the grease spots won't show.
 Getting to the party before the hostess has changed ner kimOna for her evening gown.
 Seeing her home about four miles after the cars have stopped running and finding that there is an electric light right in front of the house.

tecturcd may arise. All such pro posals have come from dissatisfied elements of the republican party.
 Effective laws are those of which experience has proved the need. True progressivism is that spirit always alert to recognize needs and prompt ly to apply tho remedy. The pro- gressiyism of which we have heard sc much ad nauseam within the last two years deals only with ancient theories borrowed Of populism which had borrowed them from socialism.

 There was a fight Saturday at the Marable grading camp between two MeXicans, and one of them was rather seriously stabbed, the Mexican who did the stabbing getting away and up to the present time he has not been captured.
 Sheriff Mel Greenleaf was notified, and proceeded at once to the scene of the fight, but it is thought that the man wanted for the stabbing made for the Mexican line and got safely across.
 The wounded man was brought to Yuma and made comfortable by Dr. Henri ApJohn, the reclamation physi- clan.

An Addition to the
 Capitol is Proposed

Phoenix, Feb. 25.-It was learned this morning on good authority that Governor Hunt and the members of the board of control are seriously con- templating the erection of a wing on the west end of the capitol building and are about ready to call for the figures on the ~k.
 When the capitol building was con- structed, it was so built that wing could be placed on the west side. with out any degree of trouble, part of the west wall being built of brick so that it could easily be removed.
 To rearrange the offices in the cap- itol in such a manner as to leave room for the supreme court quarters and judges chambers would work a hardship on the other officials in the building, while on the other hand to place the second floor of the city hall in condition for a court room, together with the rent, would amount to about $10,OOO.
 Governor Hunt feels that this large amount of money would go a long way towards the construction of the pro posed addition to the capitol building and is giving the matter serious con sideration.
 Eventually all the state officials must have quarters in the capitol, and from all appearances it would be a matter of economy to prepare for them now.
 The present plan to take two rooms from the secretary of state for the chambers for the supreme court judges is grossly unfair to Secretary of State Osborn, as it would leave him only one ill-lighted, dingy room iE which to the duties of the busiest of flee in the capitol.

Administration Adopts Some Drastic MeaSurers

Washington, Feb. 25.-American troops will cross the Mexican border whenever it becomes necessary to stop firing into American territory. The United States government has determ- mined there shall be no repetition of the incidents of the Madero revolution when a number of Americans in El Paso and Douglas, Arizona, were killed by flying bullets from the opposing forces across the border.
 In case of future fighting across the border, the American commanders are instructed to send the usual notice that American lives and property must not be endangered. If the warnings are unheeded and the zone of safety is not respected American troops are directed not to hesitate to enter Mex ican territory to enforce a proper de- gree of protection to American citi- zens. This policy is the most drastic yet adopted with reference to the events in Mexico.
