Governor Stubs has been in KAN
sas pretty much of the time since the
national political pot began to boil,
and most of his working hours during
the past few months must have been
taken up with his correspondence with
Attorney General Dawson. Yet he tells
the New York city reporters that the
south, Ohio, Pennsylvania and New
Y ork favor the nomination of Colonel
Roosevelt. Under the circumstances.
the power of Governor Stubs to feel
the political pulse of the people scat
tered over the entire country, verges
on the uncanny.

Every line in the current issue of
the Kansas Industrialist. with the ex-
ception of a brief announcement, was
assigned, written, edited copyread and
otherwise handled exclusively by the
students of agriculture or domestic
science taking the course in Industrial
journalism at the Kansas State Agri-
cultural college. And the result is as
interesting and as -put-together
an issue of this valuable paper as has
vet appeared. Not only does it spea-
volumes for the capabiIity of the stu
dents, but it also reflects no inconsfd-
cradle credit on those who have in
structed them in the tricks of news

Opposition movements always make more

nomination of Mr.. Taft is assured. It VIII
become more plain to the public as the
campaign of the Republican leaders Is
pressed throughout the country.
That the sane business interests will be
for Mr.. Taft is not at all remarkable.

We Pay 5 Per Cent.

Now is the time to begin the good road work in this county. Mohave county can we'll afford to issue at least 100,0OOS in bonds for the purpose of building roads throughout the county to make possible the handling of ores at least expense. Roads into the min- ing sections are an imperative neces- sity and main lines of highway with branch roads running into the various camps would be of incalculable benefit to the whole mining communities. Main lines of highway could be run north and south of the west side of the Cerbat range and east and west from Peach Springs to the river through Goldroad and Oatman. Other lines would be carried into Union Pass and south to Yucca, Cedar and Signal. The Sandy would be reached from the main highway east of Kingman. Every promising section would gradu- ally be lined up until not one camp would be without highway facilities. Every road should be carefully laid out by a competent surveyor and the grade built along the lines laid down by the good roads associations of the United States. By the issue of bonds the people would be getting the benefit right away, not waiting until small annual tax was raised for that purpose, and using badly constructed roads that are liable to be washed out by every little rain storm. Not one section above another would get the greater benefit by the building of the county highways and all the property owners ought to get behind the movement.

Last week, at St. Johns, Apache county, Judge Ling decided that the registration law of Arizona requiring an educational qualification was con- stitutional. The cause tried was that of Gabriel ArmeJo and Louis Chavez, two old time and wealthy Mexicans of that county, who refused to take the educational test, although they were both educated in English, and the Recorder having refused them regis tration, they brought mandanus pro- ceedings to compel him to place their names on the great register. The court upheld the action of the Record CT, and the men will have to comply with the requirement of law if they wish to exercise the right of franchise.

Will List Their Claims in
 Order to Attract Capital.

A Bisbee dispatch says:-It is pro- posed to list all of the mining claims of the Warren district that are not held by the big mining companies, together with the amount of work that has been done on each. The object of the plan is to counteract the idea that prevails generally outside of the district and to large extent at home that all or practically all of the mining claims hereabouts have been taken up by large companies and that the develop ment of other mines lies with such companies and with them alone. This is not the case to the extent that is supposed and there are numerous claims, some patented and others only undergoing annual assessment work that are awaiting development and the influx of capital for that purpose.
