Your enemies in the senate" he said used your division bill 10 defeat woman suffrage. 1 do not think that they will deny that, but if they do I have some information that will make good reading at the proper time. Senator Cunifl fought the submission of woman suffrage to the people with fend- ish energy. He has also a sack full of excuses for helping to kill the division bill--excuses I said, not reasons. Senator Lovin labored with me long and earnestly to get me to introduce the division bill. He said that you were right, that your cause was just and he was in hearty accord and sympa- thy with you and would do all that he could to help me. He was more interested in defeating the submission of woman suffrage than in anything else brought before the legislature. He did it-by majority of one vote-and if he ever helped me with the county division bill by word, thought or vote, nobody knows of it but the Lord and Henry. So when you go to vote this fall, 1 hope that you will remember your enemies and punish them by voting for woman suffrage"

Give us to go blithely on our business all this day, bring us to our resting beds weary and con. tent and undishonored. Amen. - Robert Lewis Stevenson.

The petition to put the pro- visions of the Kinney bill on the ballot this fall, has failed because of lack of sufficient names. The Kinney bill was intended to com pei mine owners and others to employ only English speaking people. It is estimated that this would deprive about 20, poo Mex jeans of a living in the southern part, of the state. It was demo- cratic measure and passed the senate but was killed by the house in the last session of the legis- lature.

A part of Senator Davis Fourth of July address at Williams will make interesting reading, however few people who know the actual facts in the case will take the statement with any degree of seriousness. Senator Davis of Phoenix was orator of the day at the Fourth July celebration here and delivered an address which met with applause by the large assemblage listening to it. His address follows: In the course of his speech at Williams today State Senator Davis advised the people of the proposed Hunt county to vote for woman suffrage.

And just for that there will

And just for that there will be no general election this fall. The legislature meant all right but they reckoned without constitu. ton filled with mandates and other dates meant to be a savior for candidates. The one great failing of the recent session oi law makers was that of attempt ing to do all things for all time, forgetting that successive legisla- lures might want something to do. The constitution was not a perfect institution as some few believed at first and its strongest adherents in the legislature were among those who most often offered pro- posed amendments. Few laws are perfect, fewer men and if this view had been more general re- suits would have been much bet ter. The indefatigable desire to make political capital by the sem ate resulted badly while the house with more liberal views came of with most honors.

Objections to street paving are few n d far between. Clean, paved streets are one of h e things that make a city inhabita- ble and when the people pay the money themselves, it is difficult to see where any general objec- tion should enter. :, It lis a big advancement and the more inn provements made by a city, the more people believe in its future and spend their money there; the more people come.t to enjoy the benefits of a progressive city. A start is always necessary and from a small beginning large towns grow. A start now will mean just as much if not more than it did year ago when residents realized the necessity of more houses, more and better accom- modations for people who wanted to come to Flagstaff. Keep up the gait a short time and see the result. We all want live town. Boostl Forget every little old grouch for awhile.

The election that was to were is

The election that was to were is not now is. The supreme court decided that under the splended state constitution, there could be no general election this fall, con- sequently state and county officers will hold over. Just where this leaves the state legislature is difi- cult to tell at this writing, and it is also difficult to tell where it leaves stateinstitutions unless there is another session of the legis- lature. In any event we can try out the registration system and get used to that, then by next year we can try out the primary system and eventually try real election under state government and the brand new laws prepared and pro- mulgated at the last session of the legislature.

WERETRN UNION
 COMPANY REDUCE RATES

The Western Union Telegraph
 Company has taken the initiative in certain reductions of telegraph
 rates that are to take effect July
 rst throughout the State of Ari- zona. The reductions are very numerous and sweeping and ex- tend to the territory of Arizona so as to include large number of important offices in their relation to the balance of the state. Hith- erto, there has been no telegraph rate between 25c and 4oc and re- cognizing that the step between those rates is a long one, the
 Western Union has decided and received authority from the State commission to introduce between them a BOG rate which will neces- sarily cause changes in other rates producing a schedule that will bring about multitude of reduc. tions. No rate will be increased and every office in Arizona will be benefited to some degree.
 In order to give an idea of the extend to which the reduction will prevail, it should be stated that in the vicinity of Phoenix, five offices will, after July Ist, tender reductions in telegraph toll rate from SOC to 4oc on telegrams de- stined to nine other offices, from SOC to soc with 27 offices, from soc to 25c with four offices, from 4oc to soc with Io offices and from 4oc to 25c with eight other offices.
 In Tucson and vicinity, six offices will benefit by reductions from soc to4oc in the interchange of business with 10 other offices, from soc to BOG with 10 offices, from 4oc to BOG with 10 offices and from 4oc to 25c with I6 other offices.
 In Globe and vincinity, two offices will be benefited by re- auctions from SOC to 4oc in inter change of business with seven other offices, from soc to BOG with 10 offices and from 4oc to soc with "A other offices.
 In Prescott and vicinity, seven offices will be benefited by reduc- tions from 4oc to soc in the inter- change of business with six other offices.
 In Douglas and territory, six offices will be benefited by reduc- tions from 4oc to 25c with nine other offices, from 4oc to BOG with IS offices, from SOC to soc with two offices and from soc to 4oc rate with five other offices.
 In Bisbee and vicinity, 10 off, ces will be benefited with reduc- tions from 4oc to 25c rate with nine offices, from 4oc to BOG with IS offices, from soc to BOG with two offices and from soc to 4oc with five other offices.
 The application of the reduc- ton is statewide and permits the public to have the benefit of mar ked reductions of tolls applicable to the night letter and the day | letter service of the Western Union. The reduction applies to the ten word day message which, in turn, automati- ,ally lowers the rates upon the 50 word day and night letters. All the reductions mentioned are vol lntary and have been presented 10 the State Commission with the that they be made applicable on July Ist. It
