Large Crowds Attend Stump Reunion

Despite threatening weather
and the bad conditions of the
roads an immense crowd gath
cred at the Earle Ball farm on
Steer creek above Stumptown to
attend the Stump reunion and
the unwilling of the monument
erected to Michael Stump, the
first settler in the Steer creek
valley and the progenitor of one
of the largest and most inhuen-
tial families in this section of
the state.
After invocation by Rev. M. B.
Stump and a statement of the
objects Of the Association by DR..
Leland Stump, the monument
was unveiled by the little daugh-
ter of Mr.. and Mrs. Hood Black
shire, she being the youngest
daughter of the oldest descend
ant of Michael Stump Sr., The
monument was then formally
presented to the association by
DIR. }. l.. Stump and was accepted
in an able speech by Hon. r. r.
Stump.
The monument is of Indiana
granite, a beautiful grayish blue
stone, is about five feet in height
and is a representation Of the
stump of a tree. 1t stands be-
tween the graves of Michael
Stump Sr. and his wife. Appro-
pirate marks were also erected
at the foot of each grave.
A committee consisting of
I. r. Stump, l.. H. Stump, DR..
l.. j. Stump, Elliott Stump and
Ralph Bennett, was appointed to
secure historical dates for the
Association. The committee on
time and place for holding the
next meeting Of the Association
decided upon August 10Th 1913.
Levi Boggs, John Boggs, Mel.
vile, Bailey, George G.. and Ell
liottt Stump and Jacob Stout.
the only living grandchildren of
the old pioneer Stump were pres
ent and were photographed in a
group.
1t was a matter of great re-
greet to the members of the
Stump family that r. G. Linn, of
Charleston, who has been an init
mate friend of theirs for many
years, was delayed and did not
arrive until after the ceremonies
were over.

BUSINESS MEN WANT
 KINNEY BILL KILLED
Meeting is Held at Which Series of Resolutions Containing Pro-
 test is Adopted.

Following the suggestion of The Republican that the business men and farmers of this section start an or ganizcd effort ior the dcfolt of tine pcrnicious llinnau njd, through which it is sought ,o dcbar al: uon-Erglish speaking c'ti1.ns from work n the mines of Arizona, d meeting of Phoe- nix merchants and >thcr5 has been held at the Adams ho1cNa.I petitions ore now in circulatioh demanding that the bill be kiIlcd.A These pc titions are being signed generally and they will be presented to the legis- lature at an early date. It is believed that this action will have d salutary effect in checking the attempt to put through what is probably one of the most pernicious pieces of legislation ever presented to an Arizona law making body.

International Safety Rules.

The suggestion of AIr. Charles vo HeImolt, local representative of the North German Lloyd Steamship com pany, that the Hague tribunal be asked to draw up international re quirements for the safety of steam ship passengers, is good one. Ii points out that the ships of his com pany in sailing from Germany New York come under the totally al verse regulations of four nations First, they are German ships an have to obey the rules of German as to the safety of passengers. Thcr at ports in France, England. an finally in the United States, they fall under the regulations of these thre countries.
 Of course. this diversity of authorit is probably not as great as it seems This country. for example, passes tho safety equipment of foreign ships coming from nations having approx imately" the same inspection laws a. this country, and that word zap proximately" is, as matter of in ternational comity interpreted fiber ally Thus the Titanic, which ha more Iifeboats than the English rule require, would probably have bee passed in this country, although he Hfeboat equipment was considerabl less than the American rules call for This relaxation of standards might b ended if an international agreemen fixed the regulations for the safet, of passengers and the nations bound themselves to enforce it's terms.

Ba sebaIl Talk

Pursts rise annually and dcplor the epidemic of new words which find their way into the language through the baseball route.
 Many of the diamond made cN prcssions are not beautiful They do not fit well into sonnets. and some of them may even lie unIady-Iikc Still, they accomplish the purpose fo which could never be expressed by dictionary words They beat in tune with the heart-throbs of the fan an speak a hidden meaning to him.
 There are many kinds of baseball slang. Some of it is good, because it is expressive Some of it is scnseIcss, and therefore without justification.
 But casual readers of baseball dope would do well to remember that it is prepared for the especial use of fans. The adjcctives which fit d pink tea do not harmonize especially well with a home run, and certainly would ncv CT make it clear to real lover 0 baseball exactly what happened
 Thousands of baseball fans-mcu and Women-scattcrcd all over tn world, and many of them lar re- moved from d baseball diamond read baseball news with keen interest is their hobby and it is written with d particular view to visualizing play to .hem
 So if the reader of the beauty hints and the book reviews happens to wander accidentally into the sporting page and finds word that outrages her sense. of propriety, she will dc well to have it translated by real fan. Such course will probably make it clear that the horrible" word ] tells more than whole phrase of perfectly lovely poysyllables could.

permit this suicidal policy to be fol lowed without word of protest?
 If the farmers will act at once they can yet prevent the contamination of this great wrong. If they will write to their representatives and senators i; if they will see them in person; if they will bring all their influence to bear against the passage of this most pcrnicious bill, it's passage can be pre- vented. The farmers hold the bal ancc of power in this matter. The protests of others may go unhccdcd. but let tine farmers speak and the legislature will both listen and act. There can be no doubt of that.

 NEW YORK. April 23.-A more ra- vcrable outlook to the controversy between railroad managers and rn- g.ncers was the most important fac tor today in shaping the stock mar kct. There were d number of carly material advances and by midday gains of l to points were shown. There were d few exceptions to this tendency, notably the Tobacco group some ot which suffered severe de- clincs, presumably in connection with the action of the senate yesterday Reading was the most prominent fca- turc. Initial dealings were on an un- usual scale and the stock more than recovered its declines in the first hour. Early in the afternoon it was selling over six points above ycstcr- days low point. The entire list stim- ulatcd to a higher level in the morn ing, with little dminution in busi- ness; but in the afternoon trading fell off apprcciably Prices were dis posed to yield on heavy realizing of profits. but another buying movement in Reading infused renewed strength elsewhere Money was decidedly cas- fer. An apparent further drain to the interior amounting this week to al- most five millions has excited omis- giVings

To the Farmers

Yesterday The Republican called attention to the fact that the so-carcd Kinney bill. prohibiting the employ ment of non English speaking people, in the mines of Arizona. is about toI pass the legislature The Republican also pointed out that the enactment into law of this measure will strike d hard blow at the business interests of the Salt River valley; that it will limit our markets and bring disaster. 10 greater or less extent, to every class in this community.
 The Republican also asked why it is that Maricopa couuty's representatives in the legislature are not fighting the cause of their constituency: and it asked further why it is that the Ari- zona Gazette. the seIf-t touted paper of the people" has remained silent iu the face of the threat to pass this bill
 It was not supposed the Gazette could act honestly in this matter; and in fact the best it can do is to accuse The Republican of being railroad controlled newspaper" It strikes The Republican that this is hardly an answer to it's question. If the Kinney bill is all bad, as this paper asserts it is. and as well informed men know if 10 be, it would not lessen the evil if the worst man or the worst news paper in the world should point out it's defects. The bill is an evil one. It has not a single thing to recommend jt. It is wrong in principle and mor- ais. It contemplates wrong busi- ness policy It means injury to thousands of people directly Indi- rectly it means injury to many thousands more. And when the Ga zette is asked if one of it's owners recently declared he could not afford to oppose this bill. it's reply is, "Thc Republican is controlled by the rail roads"
 Also. the Gazette says it will put it up to the people"
 Of course; that is the usual cry Oi the demagogue when he finds him. self in tight place. Presumably, il there were a proposition to legalizC would say we will put it up to the people"
 It might be pertinent here tY asl why should matter that vitally af. fleets the Salt River valley be put III to the people of Kingman and Yuma and Globe and the remotest places O the state? Surely. we of this sec ton know what is best for us. D. not the farmers of the Salt Rive valley know if they want the Kinne! bill passed or not?
 The farmers, it may be mentione, here, are vitally interested in this bill They need markets for their products and if they do not have these market their farms will depreciate in value Here we are advertising to the worl community which We say is no equalled in production by any othe section But we go farther than that We assure to prospective settlers
 good market for everything they raise but if we adopt policy that is cer tain to cripple the great mining in terests of Hayden. Ray, and othe places in this vicinity and throw thos thousands of people out of employ ment, it does not take a seer to te what will happen to our markets it possible we are to remain inert an
