Many letters have been received by the contest manager expressing de light that so large number of con- testants who are being eagerly sup ported in their candidates are mak- ing such excellent headwGy. one of these writers wondered when the en- thusiasm would relax and the won Gerful tide of energy and endeaVor subside To reply to the query When will genuine enthusiasm ever subside," it is only necessary to re- late the answer made in repartce by a well known rabbi to prel2tc of the Roman Catholic church at q ban quct given in St Louis some years ago. In spirit of joviality as the meat course was being served the Catholic dignitary asked laugh ingly of the rabbi when the latter was going to eat pork.

About Motor Boats.

The Republican gratefully aclnow- lodges the receipt from the depart ment of commerce and labor of a series of instructions for the proper management of motor boats. This expression of gratitude is due the de- partment because it is difficult to
 imagine any public document contain ing more useful information to a re- sident of Arizona than one of this kind
 The document contains instructions for about everything from the proper use of life preservers to the blowing of the whistle The instructions are too long for publication. but if any motor boat owner in Phoenix cares to make a study of them they are at his disposal. It is presumed that the frequency of motor boat accidents on Arizona'S inland seas and along her coast line has led to the promulga tion of this document and it's distri- button in this state At all events, The Republican extends its warmest thanks to Mr. Nagel and assures him that the office motor boat shall never be taken out again until everybody about the Republican shop has made a careful study of the departments rules and regulations

IT Lucifer got the chance there is no doubt in the world he would be willing to tell how the kingdom of heaven should be run. There are plenty of bankrupts who think them selves competent to tell John Wana- maker how to manage his mammoth stores. There are perhaps a thous- and broken down pettifoggers in this country who imagine Mir. Wickersham needs their advice in running the de- partment of justice. But none Of these cases is cutie so strange as that of a certain loquacious gentle man from Nebraska who. in the face of three overwhelming personal de feats, wants to tell the democratic party how to manage a presidential campaign.

Finances and Markets
ASSOciated Press DiSbatch1

NEW YORK. Feb. 26.-Two factors stood out prominently in connection with the reactionary tone of todays stock market. These were Colonel RooSevelt's letter and the coal strike situation in England. The financial district was hardly surprised at the former presidents announcement, but seemed disposed to place an unfaVOr- able construction upon it, though d short time ago it was supposed to re- gard his candidacy with no little favor. Markets movements were re tarded early by the possibility of an adverse decision by the United States supreme court in the long delayed Encouragement was found in the statements of western railroad man. agers. who reported serious interrup- tion of traffic the past week by se- were weather. Under these circum- stances, it is not to be wondered at that the market moved with practi- Cally no impulse, even though im- portant financial interests were re- ported as declaring fundamental con ditiOns improving steadily. This state  ment was borne out in a measure by the Calumet and Hecla directors. who declared d quarterly dividend of SS as against a preceding payment of S6 per share. The passing of the div iGend on Republic Steel common was announced after the close of the ex- change Of the more active stocks, Reading was weakest, declining to the lowest level since early in Janu- ary.

campaign.

Here is a bit of political history that is worth thinking about. The republican party elected its first pre- sident in lS6O-fifty-two years ago. Just once since that time has a re- publican president, who wanted it, been refused a nomination for d sec ond term. That was in 1884, when Chester A. Arthur was turned down and the nomination given to James c. Blaine. It is q matter of record that Mir Blaine was defeated by a democrat Does the republican party care to invite a repetition of that bit of history in this year of grace?

TELEPHONES:
That Lincoln Day Speech.


 Perhaps the greatest injustice that has been done President Taft in re- cent months is contained in the state ment. spread broadcast over the coun- try. that in his speech at the Lin coin Day banquet in New York, he declared The American people are not fit for government"
 The fact in the case is that Mir. Taft did not make that statement at all. He did not make any statement that could, by any fair minded man, be twisted into such an assertion. He declares himself that he did not. and anybody who knows anything at all about William Howard Taft knows he tells the truth Also, anybody who knows anything about him knows that if he had made such statement he is the man to stand by ii after it was made.
 The statement attributed to Mir. Taft is based on a paragraph in his speech before the Kew York Bar association iu which he said; You know and know that not all people are fitted for self government"
 It would be rather interesting to know on what ground MT. Roosevelt or any other man of his socialistic way of thought and expression, would take issue with that proposition. Is is. or is not. the theory of the Ameri- can government that all people-not the American people, but all people are fitted for self f-government?
 There are about 100000 Indians in this country.
 What do we call them?
 Why, everybody knows we call them the wards of the government" How much self-government do the Indians enjoy?
 They don't have self government They are under direct control of the general government. The government is their guardian-it does their gov erning for them.
 How about the Filipinos? Many of them are fitted for self-govern- ment, of course and they have it. But how about the savage interior tribes? Do Mir. Taft's critics assert that these gentlemen, who know more about the use of bolo than pen, and whose evening dress consists of a breech clout and d glad smile-do the presidents self appointed moni- tors assert that they should elect their own officers. make their own laws, and interpret those laws after they are made?
 If all men are capable of selfgov- ernment why do the democrats of Arizona propose placing a stringent educational qualification law on the state statute books? Don't they know that law will debar hundreds of
Arizona republican., 1912-02-27

Arizona citizens from participating in elections? And when you don't allow a man to vote you don't allow him the privilege of government, do you?
 In more than a score of states we say by our laws if a man isn't able to read he isn't fitted to govern him. self.
 Was Mir Taft right or wrong?

CLEVER BOXERS
FIGHT A DRAW

Fight fans of Pendleton were
treated to clever and lively bout
last night when Spike Hennessy OF
Boston and Will Gaffney of Portland
fought ten rounds to a draw at the
oregon theater. Though only a
handful OF the faithful had gathered
to witness the fray, both boys eX-
tended themselves and the go was
worthy Of a much larger house.
The bout showed that the two
lightweights are skilled exponents of
the manly art and their maneuvers
of head, hand and foot delighted the
spectators. The Portland boy land
ed much more often than did his op-
ponent but the latter apparently was
not disturbed in the lease by the
blows, always coming out of his mix
up with a smile on his face He re-
lied principally upon wicked upper
cut or n vicious free arm swing and
might have caused Gaffney real dis
tress had he been able to land either
effectively. However. the clever de-
fensive work of the latter, his dodg
ing, ducking footwork and blocking,
enabled him to elude anything re-
sembl!ng a "haymaker."
Hennessy was the Older head" of
the two and was full of tricks. Had
the bout gone the long distance route
he might have worn his adversary
down for he knew better how to save
himself but if he expected the Port
land scrapper to weaken in ten
rounds he was fooled, for the latter
was just as active. just as willing and
just as aggressive in the last round
as in the first.
Neither scored knockdown.
though in the fourth round Hennessy
struck the floor. when, losing control
of his temper for a moment, he rush
cd at Gaffney and. receiving a punch
and slipping at the same time, came
to his knees and his hands. He
quickly regained his feet, however,
and proceeded more warily thereaf-
ter. Hennessy brought the first blood
when in the sixth he jabbed his ad
versary's nose and caused the claret
to trickle forth.
When Referee Dudley Evans an
nounced his decision, there was no
great dissatisfaction though the ad-
-rirers Of each argued afterwards on
the comparative merits of the two.
