Woodrow Wilson's redeeming trait
is found in the fact that he is OF
Scotch-Irish ancestry. Racial instincts
are strong with those people and may
be depended upon to keep him within
reasonable limits. At the same time
his inheritance forbids hope that he
will ever be anything else than what
he has been since his faculties matur-
ed. He is doomed to be Democrat
as long as he lives.

ALL's WELL.

AlL'S WELL.
The sun is busy bringing the harvest
time along;
The rattle of the mower" is blended
into song;
Where swallows dip and circle above
the new-mown hay
The incense of the meadows is blown
along the way;
The clouds are high and fleecy,
there's promise everywhere.
And who would not be hopeful with
all the world SO fair?
The fretful politicians are going to
and fro,
Arousing foolish passions, predicting
future woe;
With selfish hopes they hurry from
place to place to plead
Or utter foolish warnings the fool
ish only heed;
Their mouths are full of hatred, their
hearts are full of spite,
But who would not be hopeful, with
all the world SO bright?
The willows bend serenely above the
placid stream,
Within the peaceful shadows the
herds lie down to dream;
The mower" blithely rattles, and
many fairy fleet
Is tossed upon the pillows that cross
the fields of wheat:
The bees, lured by the clover, seek
hidden sweetness there,
And who would not be hopeful, with
all the world SO fair?
Urged by their own ambitions the
politicians roar
Concerning ills that threaten an6
woes that are in store;
For selfish ends they vainly attempt
to terrorize:
With cheap conceit they tell us they
only are the wise;
But summers joys await us, the
clouds are high and white,
And who would not be hopeful, with
all the world SO bright?

Almost since the birth of the nation
third parties have sprung up in the
political conflicts. Strange as it may
that while they have more or less
prospered when the thick of the fight
was on, they have died out or passed
into oblivion the moment the heat of
the particular combat burned Itself
out. The following shows the brief
that have come into notice since the
days of Andrew Jackson:
Anti-Masonic Party.
In 1882 it was strong enough 70
gain the support of Seward 1t made
vigorous fight against Andrew Jack
son. In the end the only vote it OBJ.
tanned was that of Vermont.
Liberty Party.
In 1874 this party was comprised OF
strong opponents of slavery, and gave
it's powerful aid to Polk, the Demo
crat Its nominee james G. Birney,
however, got only enough votes in
New York 10 take the state away from
Clay, the Wing candidate.
Free-soiIers.
This party grew out OF the Liberty
party. 1t went into the fight in 1S4S
with former President Buchanan as
leader. 1t received enough votes in
New York to deprive Lewis Cass o.
that state and elect Zachary Taylor
President. In 1852 the party lost to
Franklin Pierce. who won every state
but four.

Chairman Hickey Of the board Of supervisors was one of those at the meeting and before the close the citizens. the road superintendent and the chairman of the board were in perfect agreement All of the work asked will be done at the earliest pos. s.ble moment
 Those who think that good roads are ''only to the advantage of the automobile owners and only sought by those owning cars would have found the aspect altered had they at. tended the good road meeting last night for there were one-third of those present who do not own cars and in calling the meeting to order Dr. Bled- soc. the chairman. said that the repair work was not only for the benefit Of the car owner, but also of the ranch CT and all the business men who get the ranchers' trade. He said there were five inlets to Bisbee and he would have them taken up in order.
 Ranchers Are Considered.
 The first matter to be considered was the road to Gleeson to give entry to this city and also 10 give a good road to Tombstone from here al the earliest moment. It was learned that Benton has already had work started on this road and will also do all that has been asked, such repairs being only temporary, however, since a new road is to be built to Gleeson next year.

 SUpERSTITIOUS LEbD

Among actors and actresses. super stition plays a very prominent part. They have many things which they consider both lucky and unlucky. Nearly every prominent theatrical person has either a luck charm or something that they always wear up- on an opening night.
 Miss Myrtle Vail. prima donna of "The Heart Breakers" is no excep- ton to the rule. Mss Vail was last seen in this country i'm The Merry Widow. Two years ego she went to Europe to study music. She was in London during King Georges corona. tion, and while there met the Rajah of Baoul, an East Indian prince and ward of the English government He became quite fond of Miss Vail and made her many presents, among which was a Barrett" or hair orna- ment. It has fifty-four diamonds in it. weighing from one half carat up to two carats. The Rajah told her that it was famous luck heirloom of his family and that whoever pos sesses it would have health, wealth. fame and prosperity
 Miss Vail treasures this above everything that she owns and is ney- CT without it on the stage. This be- ing her first part since her return from Europe, the luck piece has al ready shown what 1t can do, as the little lady has been the recipient of many fiattering press comments since the season opened At the Orpheum Saturday night, Oct 19 Seats now on sale at the box office.-Advertise- ment.

 The road from Hereford to the fort is reported to have been put in shape by the soldiers.
 It was shown last night that there is Sl0.O64.OO in the road fund and the work asked will not cost over S3,500 so there are ample monies and to spare and this district will thus get its fair proportion of work. Nothing will be done but what is absolutely necessary.
 Win Purchase Machinery.
 Another matter of interest which has developed is that the county is to at last get to road work in a sys- tematic way A road machine, a roll CT and a rock crusher are to be puT~ chased the first of the year at an ex- pense of about s27O0 which will save many times that amount to the county in the immediate future. Besides this several drags are to be made of rail road rails which will prove another economy.
 Before the meeting adjourned Mir. Hickey was thanked for what he has done and it was explained that the difficulties Of his position were under stood and no d.srespect intended to him by the meeting. Mir. Benton was thanked for coming to Bisbee to meet the citizens and for the ready re, ponses which he has made and will make to their wishes

The average yield of corn per
acre in this county has almost
doubled during the past four years.
This can be accomplished by deep
er blowing. Add leguminous crops
to deep breaking aud the yield
should be 90 bushels per acre. A
friend writes that his 40 acres will
produce 1000 bushels. Very good,
but it could easily be made to pro-
duce 1000, the additional GOO
bushels costing but little more.
Last year the writer divided a
small field which was planted in
corn. A portion he cultivated
without peas, the other sowed
heavily in COW peas. This year
both pieces are planted in corn;
the one on which the pea crop
grew will more than double in
yield the portion on which no peas
were planted. The difference in
size, color and general appearance
is almost incomprehensible.
