MAUD MULLER

Maud Muller on q summers Gay
Raked the meadow sweet with hay.
She helped her mother oftimes, too.
As all good daughters used TO do.
She washed the dishes. scrubbed the
floor,
And did fun many a household chore
She wore no false hair and no pads
And had an appetite like dads.
All rouge and beauty dope she scorned
And hers was beauty unadorned.
But that was in the long ago
And was old-fashioned quite, you
know.
Now Maud appears upon the street
And is in style from head to feet.
She wears a skirt that is so tight
She has to peel it on al night
II fits so close that in the morn
She puts 1t on with her shoe horn.
She wears her shoes so tight they
hurt,
And she is somewhat of a firt.
For English she cares not a dang
And is well versed in George AIDES
slang.
She Tools about in lounging blouse
And cannot help around the house.
Her mothers cooking is passe,
She much prefers a swell cafe.
She pounds out ragtime by the hour
And makes the neighbors grim and
sour.
She's never very slow to state
Her pa and ma are out of date.
She's got the latest dancing hug
For Turkey Trot and Bunny Hug.
Eternally she's on the go,
But cannot cook and cannot sew.
Her relatives and friends are awed
And murmur through their tears.
Poor Maud"
They're very, very much afraid
She's fixing to be one old maid.
The boys all think she's pleasing,
mind,
But they don't hook up with that
kind
For, with all of her fancy stunts,
She's just an ordinary Ounce.

REVOLUTION FADING
IN SONORA.

IN SONORA.
The Review learned yesterday that
there are no less than seven rebel
leaders now in Douglas, coming there
from Sonora, which would indicate
that the rebel hooters in that state are
fsst disn;esrating and with the chief
hooters seeking protection from their
crimes in Mexico by coming to the
Tinted states. These leaders should
have no welcome in this country and
should be promptly taken in charge,
IL under no other charge. then by the
immigration department as ~undeslr-
able citizens"
The present revolution in Mexico
has been sustained by looting and
robbery from the day Of its inception
and from orozco down everyone who
has been leading the ignorant and
vicious element, willing to follow
them, is equally guilty Of the highest
crimes. including murder, train-rob-
berry. looting ranches and mining
camps.
AS a result of this brigandage and
devastation we find hundreds of
Americans on this side of the inter.
national line, having been compelled
to abandon their homes and prosper
Gus enterprises. The thrifty colonies
of the Mormons in Mexico have been
abandoned to the bandits who have
taken possession and appropriated
everything Of value. Mining men who
for years have held promising pros.
poets have abandoned them and this
abandonment has been forced jus.
at a time when increased price OF
copper and silver would surely bring
the opportunity Of sale or the oppor
tunity for interesting capital in sue
eessful development
When one thinks OF these hard
ships that have been visited on Amer
leans in northern Sonora and Chihua
hua, the fact is impressed on him thai
these rebel bandit leaders now con
gregating on the American side of tn.
border have no claim to even citizen
ship in this country and they shoult
be given to understand this in suci
a manner as will cause them to hast
lily seek some other country for sheI
ter from the just punishment whici
they deserve.

ARIZONA STATE FAIR.

Everybody connected with the Ari-
zona State Fair is working energet-
ically and determinedly to make the
first state fair larger in scope and
more perfect in arrangement than
any of the events since the fair was
established at Phoenix.
While this is true and while J. R.
Henderson. of this city, member OF
the fair commission, has repeatedly
urged that there be an organized Ell
fort to gain for Cochise county that
prominence which our varied and
rich resources would bring If they
were gathered into an exhibit at the
fair, there has been practically moth
ing done and as the fair will start
the latter part of October there is
yet only sufficient time to put this
county PROMINENTLY before the visitors
to the state fair.
While the board of supervisors
have hesitated in the matter Of ap.
pointing a county fair commissioned
and providing expense money for a
creditable county exhibit at Phoenix
1t is yet hoped that az their meeting
next week they viii again consider
the importance of placing Cochise
county in the position Of loyal sup
porter of the state fair and do tina.
which will insure a creditable exhibit;
in Phoenix next month.
Hundreds Of visitors from out Of
the state will be at Phoeniv during
the fair: many Of them will be
there for the purpose Of learning more
of the resources of Arizona and its
industrial advantages. 5cochise is TIE
greatest county in the state IN
wealth and second in population and

ors and county boards of supervisors
We believe 1t was the intention of
majority Of the legislature to sub
stitute a new bullion tax law for the
old one repealed. It was proposed to
raise the percentage Of production to
bear taxation and this everyone
agreed should De done. but in the
rush CT the closing days o. the leyis-
lative session the new bullion tax
Law I'D not get through.
The values agreed to by the state
tax commission in assessing the
mines of the state this year shows
that the Judgment of the commission
cannot be trusted for an equitable bur.
den to be born by the mining com
panies of the state. The commission
acquiesced in the assessment OF sew
enty-five per cent of the United Verde
in Yavspai county while 1t insisted
and stiIl insists that the mines in the
Warren district in this county shall
pay on one hundred per cent of their
output.
The legislature, 10 our inind would
do well to reinstate the bullion tax
law and provide for a state board Of
equalization to be composed of the
chairman of the board of supervisors
in each county. so that every county
and every section of the state may
have an elected representative on
this board where the final word re
garding assessments would be spoken
This was the plan provided by the
new constitution and it would GER
tainly be more effective and more sat
isfactory than the present one which
we regard more as a plan for promot-
ink litigation father than promot.

(Arizona Starr
Governor Hunt and Warden Sims

EX-GOVERNOR FOLKS
VIEWS OF CAMPAIGN:

Many Arizonans who have watched
and admired the public life of Elk
Governor Folk, of Missouri and who
have become acquainted with him on
occasions when he visited Arizona,
will be interested in the following
intesview with this distinguished
Missourian which occurred recently
in New ork:
There is not q state in the Union,
said former Governor Joseph w. Folk,
that Wilson may not carry. There is
not a state in the Union that either
Roosevelt or Taft are certain Of cas
rysng. Wilson is sure Of at least
three-fourths OF the states, and as
the leader OF progressive democracy
will have the largest majority in the
electoral college ever given a pres
ident.
uDring the past two months ! have
been in Kansas, Iowa, Nebraska, Mich.
igan and Indiana, and have spoken
to several hundred thousand people.
Wilson is Overwhelmingly in the lead
everywhere and each day he is grow
ing stronger. His strength against
Smith in New Jersey has helped i'm.
mensely, for in opposing the type OF
so called democrats that passed as
good in the days when people were
asleep, he demonstrates his sincerity
as the captain of the new movement
which is merely the spirit OF a true
democracy.
In former years before the great
awakening, Taft would have been
considered a good president, but he
has failed utterly TO keep step in the
march against entrenched privilege.
Dissatisfied republicans are com.
ing TO the democratic party or going
to Roosevelt. There is no need for q
third party while the democratic
party has a standard bearer such rs
Wilson and Marshall, and there is No
detection from the democratic ranks
anywhere.
Roosevelt will in my opinion. run
second and will be far ahead of Taft
In fact. Roosevelt viii, ! believe, gel

the west, but even in Ohio. the presi
dents home state. Roosevelt will pol
