AW0MANyO OBSERVATIONS


turn in the path ahead. afraid-oh' afraid of life and all that 1t entails, isn't there something bracing in com ing across a man who is glad to pay $50,0O0 for the privilege Of proving the wisdom of his stake?
 George E. Merkes, the mans name is. and 1t seems to us as though Q leaf of laurel or an iron badge of soh diery of some sort is due him.
 Certainly the most of us do object to paying for what we take from life. If two alternatives are offered us. both desirable, but only one possible. We hesitate long and we grumble ex- ceedingly over the forfeit of the other
 Things are very untair and rate is unkind", and all that sort of thing. And for long days afterwards, per. haps for years, we turn back and try to see around the corners we have turned, to gaze once more at that prize we finally relinquished; and we try 10 think how things would have been different if we had chosen diff ferently: and we turn the chosen prize over in our hands tand fleck of a bit of veneer, and bitterly re- sent the ignorance which directed our selection.
 Or perhaps we never do choose. Perhaps we just drift along until choice no longer is ours or until both prizes have become valueless. And then, of course, it is fate" again that is to be blamed for our not getting out of life all that some one else has got from it.
 You never can tell how things will turn out" is the excuse much of the time for this hesitancy. this fear of life. this whimpering at the forfeits of the game Of course you cant But in the meantime isn't there something inspiring about a man stepping out boldly and joyously when a choice is offered him, and ex. claiming with a glad defiance, T choose. and I'm willing to pay not only for my choice. but for the tri umph of proving that my choice was good?'

A FALTERING KEYNOTE
lSt Ionis Rennblic.l }

| est. Louis Republic)
 i The national campaign of this year shows marked differences from many | in the past The voter is doing his own thinking He will naturally 1 scrutinize carefully the respective candidates. First and foremost, how | ever, he is thinking of his own wei [ fare ard the welfare of the country. | Prejudices will be relegated to the 1 background. They will be a bad sec ond to the more pressing questions | that have to do with the welfare of | the nation.
 1 Congressman Rodenberg's speech, | the ayowed keynote of the republican i campaign. is a frank appeal to class preiudices. It discloses the very evf dent fact that the republicans are un- able to meet Gov. Wilson on living is-
 sues. In it is the frank confession of party weakness and distrust of fu- ture events. Extracts from the writ ings and speeches of Gov. Wilson are wrenched from their contexts and used in an obtuse attempt to revive 1 dead issues and dying prejudiCes. lt is an attempt to lefcg questions that { are of present and vital importance. Thinking men will refuse to be led astray ty such eXpedients. They will turn rather to the party of which Gov. Wilson is the nominee. He is the chosen leader of that party whose rec ord in recent constructive legislation is written large that all men may see The democratic party is still making such a record and its platform gives pUaranfpa f0r The future About all the RUdenberg keynote speech can do is 10 burden the mails. Appeals to prejudice make poor a:gu-
 ments. The 5,00O00O copies that are 10 be distributed by the republican
 national committee will be so much faulty ammunition.

FIFTY THOUSAND DOLLARS
 TO DROVE HE'S RlGf

TO PROVE HE'S RIGHT
 A Chicago man forfeited S50.000 the other day when he married at the age of twenty-eight His grand mothers bequest was conditional up on his waiting until he was thirty years old before taking the perilous step Marriages made when a man is younger turn out unhaPPily. insisted the grandmother.
 Tt will be worth s5O,000 to prove that grandmother was wrong" the man said
 Now this comment has nothing to do with early ages-twenty- eight doesn't really seem infantile- nor is it especially in praise of dis obedience to grandmothers. But isn't there something rather inspiring about a conviction that ones own contemplated act is worth S50,000 to Oneself-about being willing to pay that much to prove that one is in the right. and especially about the absolute certainty that one will prove it?
 in these days when a considerable portion of the people seem to be afraid of any action and its conse. quences, afraid of matrimony and the gamble of it, afraid of the next

THE TIME HAS COME TO ACT
Arizona RennhlicanN

Arizona Republican,
 There is a general and increasing belief that this country should under take vigorously to protect American citizens in Mexico. It does not mat ter whether it is done by a formal intervention or by the simple process Of sending into Mexico a sufficient force of American troops to protect American property and lives a. such points as the Mormon colonies, where there were large groups of persons and property,
 It is not to be expected that every American and every American inter est could be given immediate protec-
 ton A dispatch from Washington
 on Thursday night stated Every thing short of intervention has been done" IL may be pertiently asked What has been actually accom- plished? What has been the result of the doing? What American life has been saved or what American in- terest has been conserved by any ac- ton that our government has taken Four thousand peaceabl American citizens within a week have suffered confscation Of their personal prop.
 erty and have been driven under threat of death, out Of the country, from their homes and the enterprises they had built up.
 The AmeEican government has a far more tangible reason for interfer- ing in Mexico than it had in Cuba This is not a matter Of g mere annoy ing disturbance along our border. It Is matter of the protection of Amer ican lives. Our intervention need not
 be for the restoration Of order in Mexico but for the purpose Of impress ing upon the combatants that The ! rights of American citizens. legally ! acquired must be respected even in ! time of war.
 ! The federal government of Mexico ! could not reasonably resent such ac, J ton by the United States since ft fs 1 without the means of giving that pro. i lection to the Mormon colonlstg guar ' anteed to them when they settled at l Dublan, Morales and Juarez many | years ago
 1t is uot enough 70 say 10 them ' that they will sometime be indemni ! fled for their losses of property oI hllfc IL s better for Mexico as vel ! ass for .he settlers that there be Rc { loss of American life property.
 Our government exercised great for ! beara 1ce throug iout the Madero rev olutiOn and throughout the present
 disorder :t has manifested forbear
 ance whicl is less praise~orthy and
 which we fear is being egal dud d ! 10 longer excusa5le.

 Artesian water is being developed in many sections of Arizona. Sul. phur Springs valley, Verde valley Ril- Tito valley and Maricopa valley are showing good wells.
 Arizon forest reserves reduced by lOo,54O acres. This land has been transferred to grazing ranges. Cattle men report ranges in fine shape and stock in excellent condition.
 Arizona is attracting increased number of summer visitors. Flag, stan, Graham county, Williams, Wins low, Prescott and Holbrooks have un- usual attractions. Dry mountain air, cool clear nights.
 Arizona is attracting attention wi success in dry farming. The cham bers of commerce at Prescott, Tue son and Douglas report splendid re- suits. Arizona will be represented at the international dry farming con gress.
 Arizona is a leader of the nation in matters pertaining to education. The University of Arizona offers splendid opportunity for complete az ricultural course. Well equipped schools and colleges are established throughout the new state. Arizona's roads are soon 10 be the finest in the country.

up eagerly at fully recent quotations.

tvity IN the sheep and lamb trade, the
market in general was a repetition of yes

Yard estimate called for a total of only

the exception, shipments in fleece being
too scarce to properly Try out the list OF
values. Wooled lambs were not quotabie
