THE SUMMER CAMPAIGN.

Its troublous times, thatIl soon be
Times crammed, packed and jammed
with fruition,
When the "pros" will tr ythe "cons"
to rout
And get themselves into position.
There1l be putting and bluffing and
preening galore;
And Hell-bent defaming and looks
that implore;
ThereT be rushing and crushing
through sunshine and rain.
From now, It'll the end of the summer
campaign.
The air will be filled with the odor
of hash,
baters,
The smell of mean booze and the clink
of small cash,
Cuss-words and Irish potatoes.
There'l be writing, back-bitinp and
tricks that bemean =
There'll be laughing and chatting by
the ones that are clean,
There'll be seeking for honor, thereIl
be poaching for gain
Through the whole of the life of the
summer campaign.
So watch well it's conduct-kind voter,
beware, "a
Think well e'er you make your de-
cisien;
Let merit prevail, be not swayed by
despair;
Treat coat-tail swingers with derision.
Therell be yelling for this one and
shouting for that,
And dropping" ard swapping and
gas through the hat;
But should you desire self-respect to
retain,
Do just as you please in the summer
campaign.
Remember, your wives and your chill
dren have rights,
The land of your birth has claim
on your deeds;
Remember that honor in manhood de-
lights
And that honor from thinking but
manhood proceeds,
The past and the present and all
that's to come
Will be laid down in history, as grand
or as "bum."
So, brothers, if pride in your homes
you'd retain
Be nothing but men in the summer
campaign.

RETURNED FROM OUTING.

Q. $. Stapley and Wm. A. Riggs are back from an outing spent on the clas- sic banks of the Salt river. near Blue point. Their object in going to Blue Point was that it was not too far distant from Mesa, yet far enough to be free from the maddening crowd that swarms the streets of the Gem City. Freedom from the cares of business and meditation were the principal objects of their withdrawal from society for a brief period; also, they expected that the supply of ducks had not yet been exhausted. They took with them guns. ammunition. fishing tackle and bear traps; but it is un- tlerstOod the latter were not used, the bear having had advance notice of their coming. The gentlemen both speak in glowing terms of the pleas ure they enjoyed while away, but are somewhat reluctant to go into details when it comes to reporting the re- suit of their experience as Nimrods. MT Riggs says that MT. Stapley claims to have shot and wounded a mountain lion, but MT. Riggs is con- fident that the supposed lion was only a lone bobcat. Both gentlemen are at their posts of duty in the business friends that the only place for an out ing is on the Salt if quiet is desired.

MESA
ROOSEVELT JUSTICE
 GOES ON STRIKE
Judge J. C. Evans is Down From The Damsite Town and Tells What the Board of Supervisors
 Did to Him.

Ever since there was q town at the site of the Roosevelt Dam, Judge J. C. Eyais has been the supreme court of that section. He heard the com plaints of the afflicted, turned a deaf ear to the pleas for mercy by the burglar. the gun man. the knife man and the common sneak thief. To the widow and orphan, however, he was ever a friend in need and to the in nocent man brought before him on a trumped up charge, the judge was the saving agent. When the town had it's tough citizens Judge Evans handled the situation in a manner that re- fiected credit upon his legal acumen and his sense of justice. He made a bad citizen good. and no one today can say but that under his mipistratiOn Roosevelt is one of the quietest bergs in the territory.
 During all these years Judge Evans served on such salary as the fees per mtted under the territorial law Sometimes they amounted to $200 a month, sometimes to only $l00. but he did not complain Recently, how ever. Arizona became d state and the new law ContempiateS the doing away with the fee system and the payment of salaries to all county and precinct officers. The board of supervisors of Gila county recently me: and decided that the office of justice was one that should be conducted on economical lines. Hence they placed the judges salary at the munificent sum of $15 per month To say that Judge Evans was surprised. is putting it mildly. He was angry. Did the board of super visors think that he could afford to pay d clerk. office rent and buy his own bacon and eggs on a measly sal ary of fifteen dollars. None of it for him. He notified the board that they had another think coming if they inn agined he was q fifteen dollar a mOnth jurist After thus giving vent to his auto and came to the valley to quiet his nerves. Yesterday he circulated among. Mesa friends for an hour or two and went down tO the capital on the afternoon train. If Roosevelt goes on a rampage during his absence. it will not be his fault, but that of a short sighted board of supervisors who were unable to recognize genius when they met in on the bench of justice.
