Wilson Gets Half of Okla
hOma.

In the state convention of Ok.
lahoma Wilson and Clark men
divided the 20 delegates ten
each.
This is considered decided
victory for Governor Wilson as
the state was thought to be more
favorable towards Clark. There
being so many Missourians in Ok
lahoma it would naturally follow
that Clark would be strong there
It anywhere; and too, Governor
Wilson so far away from the
state.
This is the next thing to divid-

| am advised by the authorities
of the Arizona Counties along the
Mexican border that conditions
are becoming very unsettled and
serious trouble IS anticipated.
Two weeks ago Mexican outlaws
stole and took to Mexico seven
horses and three mules from a
ranch in Arizona sixteen miles
west OF the town of Douglas, Co
chise County Mexican rurales
went in pursuit without results.
This morning a band of Mexican
outlaws robbed a ranch and shot
one Senor Elias, at a point very
close to the Arizona line and there
is a rumor, not yet confirmed,
that the bandits crossed into Ari-
zona. There are also reports of
a guerilla organization approach
ing. Aqua Prieta which lies on the
Mexican side Of the line opposite
Douglas. | am apprehensive for
the lives and property of Arizona
citizens and particularly those OF
the ranchmen along the border
and recommend that you order
one or more Cavalry troops to pa
troll the threatened territory. I
trust that there may be no repe-
tition Of the outrages suffered b.
the people of Douglas last spring
during the battle of Aqua Prieta
Respectfully yours,

Democratic Primary will be
Held May "a.

Dividing Arizona into six dis
tricts, and giving each one dele
gate to the Baltimore convention
June 25, the state Democratic
committee made arrangements
for the presidential primary to be
held May "a for the selection of
Arizona's representation to the
national Democratic convention.
In districting the state popula-
tion and geographical location
were jointly considered, and the
plan finally agreed upon was
adopted unanimously. The coun-
ties as grouped are contiguous
and as a rule have interests in
common.
At the same time the primary
is held to select the Baltimore
delegates, Arizona's Democratic
National committeeman will be
chosen in the state at large by
popular vote.
AS districted by the committee
the state is divided as follows,
each district being numbered:
1-Pinal, Gila, Graham, Greenlee
2 Cochise
8 Yuma, Santa Cruz and Pima
4 Maricopa
5 Yavapai and Mohave
6-Coconino. Apache and Navajo.
In addition to one delegate to
be chosen in each district, the Sc
lection of one alternate will be
made at the same time.
On the same ballot will be plac-
ed the candidates for president,
and each voter will be given an
opportunity to express his pref
erence for first, second and third
choice.
The preferential system of vot-
ing will be used under which the
will Of the majority no matter
how many candidates are running
is obtained by adding to the first
choice, the vote received for sec
ond choice and third choice. This
is continued until one of the can
didates has a majority of the vot-
es cast.
Democrats, who have been in
Arizona one year previous to May
"a, will be allowed to vote, the
election board being the Judge
as to his party fealty. 1t is not
necessary that his name be on
the great register, He must be
qualified the same as in general
election, except as to registra-
tion.
County central committees in
each county will conduct the cleo
tion in their county, naming the
election boards, fixing the polling
places and providing the ballots,
as we'll as canvasslng the returns.
Each county central committee
must certify the returns to the
state central committee, which
will announce the results of the
vote.
The committee which districted
the state, was chosen at the meet
ing of the state committee and
consisted Of one member from
each county represented at the
meeting,
Aside from the districting the
details were arranged by a COM
mittee consisting of milford Win
sor, M. G. Cunniff, C. M. Zander,
George P. Sampson and Frank
Poe, who were named by acting
Chairman |. F. Wolpe.

Ring up the curtain on scene
Of all that's bright and new,
Let it be shown to all the world
The things that we shall do;
We stand before the world
Feeling as we should,
The keenest deepest sense
Of all that's pure and good
We behold as it unfolds,
An ebmlem we adore;
We shall bear it to the world,
And laud for evermore.
We count those sacred stars,
United as they stand
Each one consecrated as a whole
To form mighty band
We feel, as we behold,
Each to be sacred gen.
Also realize the cost
Of that royal diadem.

Just now, ushered IN.

Amid scene of din.

We shall show to all the world,
Throughout the scence of strife,
Our motive is not shelfish one
But pure and simple life
We shall bear our part unto the end
AS our banner shall unfurl
That we may laud the praise of God
And faunt it to the world.

This the common cause of man,
For which we do unite;
And always hope to keep that cause
Within blazing light

May strife not dim our sight,

Romans 12:5-"We are every one members one of another"
 Matt. 23:8-"For one is your mas ter. even Christ; and all ye are brethren"
 The great aWakenings or revivaIs during the past few centuries are of prime interest.
 A modern author calls the revival Under Jonathan Edwards an awaken ing to the Divine Sovereignty" to the fact that God is King. Its cen- tral message was: Thou shalt ,vor- ship the Lord thy God. and Him orly shalt thou serve" Tn the great re- vival under the Neslcys in the 18th century "hum0n freedom" is cauad the central theme. Its clarion, note vas: "Whosoerer will may come" In the middle Of the 18th century Charles c. Finney iEadgurated .ald carried on revival whose centc&i theme was ''rer%1nai responsibility" D .rin. the ev . 1ct li.'tic leadership rf Moody the divine love and mercy Of Goa was the c0mlnant note.
 The students of our social, ci ,ic and religious life assLre us that the leading charact ori-tic of our present awakening is that Of social responsi- bi!ity, and that the main texts of this l.ovrment will be: We are all mem Ears cne of anCthc9.' and For one is yo.r master evrn Chritt; and all Ye are brethren"
 N'c are knit t"Sether in a socia: saIid ty from which there is no ":- cape Attention has often been call cd to the fact. that the first question a ;ked in the Bib:e is Adam, w'lcre art thOu?" and the second question is: "Cain, where is thy brother?"
 Man nlmst relate his individual life to the rest of the community. If We do not believe that we have cer- tainly misinterpreted the message of Jesus. The gospel seeks to bring man into right relation to God, and into loving and brotherly relation with men.
 We all know that there are many wrongs not yet righted, And it needs to be clearly understood that the church of Christ does not stand for the present social system as it is worked out at present. No thought full man will attempt to justify things as> they are.
 Chas. B. Spahr carefully calculates that one per cent of the families of this country hold more than half the wealth of the country. A few living in wasteful, selfish luxury and millions living on the verge of want presents a scene that no man can de- fend The public office regarded not as a sacred trust but as an opportun- itv to fill the private purse shows iC r1n barp ITn see nations hand-cuffed by trusts. and the government baffled and per- plexed by monopOlies is proof enough that the day of perfect equity has not yet daWned.

handsome dividends and to deprive ourselves of some of our wonted lux ures'
 Employers are sometimes bad men Isaiah thundered against the house and land lust of the man who sought to join house to house and lay field to field. Amos accused some of his time of selling the righteous for sil- yer and the needy for a pair of shoes And in our time Rauschenbusch says the eye for profit is keener than the ear for the voice of God and hu- manity.
 Some employers destroy reverence for law by their absolute disregard for law. They try to prevent the func- tions of government for gain. they strangle conscience for larger income. They want the lions share.
 Some men even go to the point of arrogance and sacrilege. When the coal strike was on in Pennsylvania a minister of the gospel talked with the plutOcrat, MT Baer, and Mir. Baer said: God in His infinite wisdom had given control of the property in terests of the country to him and his
  well.' Men blind to the interests of the multitude have said in their folly and sin: The public be damned"
 The conscientious employer, and thank God We have them ml st in geneI ous sp:IIt consider the claims )I those Wl,1 work for him. He must recognize that his employees are men and not machines. He must place man. hood above wealth, life above prop erty. The greed that would use men simply for gain must die The av- arice that would degrade men simply for increased dividends must be abol- ished
 Employers naturally ask the ques- tion as to what are the profits of any business, but they must consider also if they claim to be Christian, how are the men who produce the profits getting along?
 Charles Reynolds Brown reports he words of a superintendent of a steel plant who said bluntly when asked about the condition of the men: It's all true The way we have to rush things now makes it necessary foG us to get in a batch of men, work thom out and then get fresh batch That smacks not of a Christian land but of the place we spell with an H. an F. and two Is.
 William M. Balch relates how an English manufacturer, making a study of American methods, was amazed to find so few of our factory hands over B years of age. An American manu- facturer explains: We drop a work man after he passes his prime and put a younger one in his place In that way we get the maximum efficiency out of our labor The Englshman. hardly able to see the point, asks. But have you no sentiment about this thing? How can you turn a man off just because he gets old?" Then in turn the American fails to see the point. Dr.. Balch explains this by say ing: Public opinion in England thinks a little more of life, public opinion in America thinks a little more of profits"
 Some employees are bad Sometimes they clamor for more wages than are consistent with the success of the busi- ness They do not always appreciate the keen competition and the narrow
Arizona republican., 1912-09-04

margin of profits. They sometimes break contracts made in good faith They sometimes resort to destruction of property. They are sometimes des- potic and crowd the employer when he is in a corner. They sometimes use the brickbat, the pistol and the bomb. John Mitchell said wise words to the miners of Pennsylvania in the great coal strike of 1902: Refrain from law breaking! If you want to spoil your own cause and lose every sac rifice you have made for yourselves and your families, give way to your temper and commit some violence. Lawlessness and violence will alienate public sympathy and lose our cause. as indeed they ought"
 The public is sometimes bad. The bargain hunting public seeks to buy cheaply no matter at how great a cost to some one who tolls in sweat shops. To buy sWcatshop goods Wien known to be such is as bad as to run a sweatshOp.
 What is the attitude the church should assume in all this struggle? The church must remain non-parti- san. No class distinction must be al lowed within the church She must not be the advocate of any class She is the friend of all the people If there is a place where rich, poor, ed ucated and uneducated may meet that place must be the church. The church must not be allied with any political party, with any group of people, with any economic system, or with any industrial theory Let her keep aloof from these and she may be a mediator between struggling and contending groups of people If she becomes partisan she at once forfeits the right and possibility of such ser vice.
 Let the church never approve the rich man when he does wrong nor the poor man when he is wrathful against wealth without reason. Down labor." Crush capital!" are internal cries
 There may be rare instances when all the wrong is on one side and all the claims of right on the other In such a case the church could afford to become partisan, but such instances are rare.
 The church ought to be sympa- thetic toward those who have griev- ances. She ought to study to under stand the troubles of folks, and she ought to seek peace for all
 We have seen that there are wrongs in human society, but l do not think that the cure for them is in another social system. As one says: We do not want to blow all our existing tn- stitutions to atoms, but we do want to remould every one of them.'' One of our American wits said: Before you can have an honest horse race, you must have an honest human race'.' And some of the social programs of fered in our day demand a race of perfect beings to work them.
 Competition is carried too far in our time. Prof Peabody reminds us of the words of Maurice: T do not see my way farther than this: Com petition is put forth as the law of the universe; that is a lie.' Yet should competition entirely cease there would likely be loss of incentive. Greater energy and industry will continue, we think. to give increased rewards, and this seems best.
