Fidelity to Trust and Duty

Champ Clark has been for many
years in the public service and in all
that time there has never been a
question mark raised against his
fidelity to trust and duty.
A militant democrat, he has serv-
edlhis country along lines Of cevotioa
to principles and policies, which re-
fleet full rounded conception of
public service for the public good.
And the things for which Champ
Clark has stood for all these years
are the things now unquestionab y
demanded by the American people.
He would bring honor, honesty,
poise and craftsmanship qualities to
the presidency. Favor-seeking ex-
ploiters would get no underwriting
from Mr., Clark. He would be the
faithful executive of the entire ma
ton.
He has been criticised for voting
for the Sherwood pension bill, but
even his republican enemies would
not have the gall to carry that ques-
ton into the campaign.
His candidacy would solidify the
party vote and would enlist support
from the dissatisfied republican fac
tions. Under present political con-
ditions this would mean his election.
He would defeat either Taft or
Roosevelt. - Marion, Iowa, Sentinel.

RED SCALE ORANGES
Fifteen Boxes Mexican Oranges
Condemned by Prof. Wixom

M. Zeide, of Ell Paso, Texas, ar.
rived here Friday with a car con-
tainipg bananas and oranges to sell
to the people of the valley. The
bananas, all small lunches. were re-
tailed at $1.OO and $1.25 per bunch.
The oranges were from California
and Mexico.
AS the Mexican orange is infected
with the red scale, most~danger-
Gus inset to roses and oranges, Prof.
r. E. L. Wixom came up from
Thatcher Saturday and inspected
the oranges. He found the Cali
fornia oranges free from infection,
but all of the Mexican oranges were
infected by the red scale.
He notified Mr.. Zeide to at once
put the fifteen boxes of Mexican
oranges out of the car and ship
them out of Arizona. His orders
were complied with and the oranges
were shipped out by freight.
The danger from the red scale On
oranges in this valley would be by
infection of rose trees and rose buds
which might be sent to the Salt
River valley and in this way infect
the orange groves in that section.
The insect is dangerous one and
would devastate the groves Of
oranges and cause a great loss to
the growers.

A FRIEND OF LABOR

Charlie Schwab has been telling
Labor that it will be an evil day
when the laws are enforced against
the great combinations of capital in
business. Because there is United
States Steel Corporation, he says,
labor is getting $Sl, 100000 a year
more in wages than the same mills
paid ten years earlier. when the cor
poration was organized. Therefore
Labor should see that the Trusts are
protected. in Labor's interest. This
is beautiful logic, even if the fact
be as stated. The Steel Trust rails
ed the wages. Nothing else under
Heaven contributed to the increase.
Not even the Trusts scare over
Charlie Schwab's punting at Monte
Carlo; not the big prosperity boom
that oozed away in 1907, not tie
power of Labor to compel wage in
creases. And then the Steel Trust
didn't rake off a cent for itself after
distributing the $3l, 100000 per
year among the laborers. What did
the laborer get individually? Com
pare it with what Carnegie, Morgan,
Frick, Gary and Schwab took down
individually? And the laborer had
only his hands. The other fellows
had the ore lands to which the
hands were applied. If hands got
$31 900, 900, what did lands bring?
And there's the secret of the wrong
of distribution of earnings. Mirror.

CLEANER STREETS

Cleaner streets in Stafford is a mat
ter to which the Town Council
should give attention. 1t is mat
ter that can easily be handled. and
at very small cost.
On account of the immense amount
of business transacted in Stafford
every day, a great deal of debris
naturally accumulates, especially
on those streets where horses are
hitched. 1t is necessary, not only
for the sake of appearances, but
also for sanitary purposes, that this
debris be kept cleaned up.
An ordinance could be passed re-
quiring that all accumulations be
raked into piles in front of each
business place by its owner or occu-
pant, at least once each week, then
the Council could employ some one to
haul this off. 1t would soon be dis
covered that ii would be well worth
the money it would cost.

BAND CONCERTS

1t would not be q bad idea If the
Stafford hand would give series Of
concerts, either Saturday or Sunday
afternoons. The weather is grow
ing warmer and affords the oppor-
tunity for the bard to play in the
park.
The bsnd is doing good work in
its weekly practices and is rapidly
coming to the front as the leading
band of the State.
The thought also occurs to Us
that it might be good thing for
the band to prepare for concert
celebration of Admission Day, the
day when the people of Arizona will
celebrate the entrance into the
Union of the new State.
The people of Stafford and the
valley would undoubtedly join in a
celebration of the day by having a
grand concert by the bands of the
valley, to be held at Brier's Hall.
In addition, the program might con-
tain songs and literary exercises.
Stafford should take the lead in
getting up the celebration and it
would undoubtedly be most en-
joyable affair and bring people from
all parts of the valley.
We suggest that the Stafford band
take the initiative and appoint a
committee at once to make all ar
rangements for the celebration of
Admission Day.

WOODROW WILSON

Woodrow Wilson has evidently
put himself out Of the running as &
presidential candidate when he
turned down Col. HWvsy's support.
Well, we did not thiah much cf
his candidacy from the first. MIR.
Wilson Gid not seem able to stay
long with any policy. On his trip
across the country he changed his
opinion on pubic questions every
time he entered a new State. Such
man cannot be q leader of democ-
racy.
His break with his best friend,
Col. Harvey, is likely to lead to his
undoing, and his star as Il presi-
dental candidate, which loomed so
brightly few months ago, will soon
be under a total eclipse.
