VIRGINIA DARE
August II, 1887.
By REV. THOMAS B. GREGORY.
August II. 1887

y YIRGINIA DARE, the first child
~ Of the English race born within
the limits of what is now the
United States had ner natal day 325
years ago today-Aug. II, 1887.
In the light of presentday events
there is something thrillingly signifi-
liant in the fact that the first English
child born in this country should have
been a girl-a, member of the sex
which is today all over the earth max
ing congre sses, legislatures and par
1iaments st up and listen" to its de-
mands for recognition as a factor in
world government.
In this land OF large Inequalities
and untrammelled opportunity it seems
but right and proper that the sex which
was first recognized by the Almighty
within the territory of the republic
should be given all that is coming to
her" It is but putting it mildly to say
that in the country of Virginia Dare
women should have equal rights with
men.
The circumstances in the midst Of
which little Virginia was ushered into
the world were not Of the fairest de-
scription-
The gallant knight, Sir Walter Raj
eigh, in 1888. sent his half brother, Sir
Humphrey Gilbert, TO make a settle
ment in the new world. On the Ameri-
can coast. probably that of Newfound-
land, Sir Humphrey lost one of his
ships with nearly all Of its crew, and
in attempting to reach home in the
other vessel sank in a great storm near
Faval, exclaiminb as he went down,
THE way TO heaven is as near by sea
as by land"
In 1854 another expedition, sent out
by Raleigh under Amidas and Barlow,
reached the country known as North
Carolina passed into AIbemarle and
PamlicO sounds, touched at Roanoke is
land and returned to England.
The following year -(15S5) Raleigh
sent out a colony of 100 or more men
under Lane TO make the beginning of
q settlement but nothing came of it,
and the remnants of the colony were
taken back to England by the old sea
fighter Drake who happened to be
sailing around those parts looking for
Spaniards
Unwilling TO abandon the project that
was so dear to him, Raleigh, in the
spring OF 1884, made still another at
tempt, sending out some $50 men and
II women under the gOvernorship OF
John White. The settlers reached Ro-
anoke island the last of July, and there,
on the 18th Of August, was born Vir-

Petitions Being Circulated in Interests
of Lowell Democrat for Pres

Bisbee. Ariz., Aug. 17.-Cochise Coun-
ty is not to be left off the Democratic
electoral ticket if democrats here
abouts have their way. for petitions
are circulating for the nomination of
E. a. TOvrea, of Lowell. His friends
have prevailed upon him to allow his
name to be used, to re-enter as a candi-
date since it was assured that J. S
Douglas, in whose favor he had sought
to withdraw, would, under no circum-
stances, enter the contest
It is not difficult to get the requi-

while it will require some rapid work
to get all of the petitions circulated
and closed before August 90, the last
day for filing, this is quite possible
and will undoubtedly be accomplished
once the friends of Mr.. ToYrea get
busy.

TIE Mexican's Story.
"a little over so years ago, re-

was a miner and worked in this mine,
long before the camps of Tombstone or
Bisbee or other mines were known TO
the Americans. In those days COchise
was the red-handed king of the dread
full Apache nation and spread terror
throughout Arizona and Sonora There
were no railroads then, and all ores
were either packed on mules or hauled
in wagons. No one but an adVen-
turous Americana would have Ventured
TO mine in this country and none but
the richest kind Of ore would have
tempted him
." AT that time, an Americana, whose
name I have forgotten, had somehow
come into this section and had located
what is now the Peabody mine. He
soon began operations with quite
large force of miners, mostly MeMcans
and Yaquis whom he brought from
Sonora. He struck ore so rich at the
very surface that it fairly bristled
with metallic silver and copper. Soon
he had trains Of wagons and pack

SYSTEMATIC GOOD ROADS DE-
NEIOPMENT

President Perkins of the State
general plan for development in
each county. He urges that the
county commissioners of the several
counties plan their road improvement
with the county seat as the center
and the improvements radiating from
that center in their successive ex-
tensions will finally make trunk lines
in all directions through the county
and the connection of trunk lines at
the county boundaries will make
trunk lines crossing the state.
This is in harmony with the gem
eral plan adopted by the National
Good Roads Association and incor-
porated in the bill now before con-
gress for securing for the construc-
ton of seven trunk line highways
crossing the continent. The national
government is to contribute to the
cost in part and the states will add
to the construction fund for hat part
of the national highway that lies
within their borders.
A bill covering the plans suggested
by President Perkins will be drafted
by a committee which he has APP
pointed and their report will be pre-
scented to the legislature for action.
1t will comprise the most progressive
features of state good roads laws ana
if adopted will place the state OF
Washington in the front rank Of
states that have planned to make a
systematic development of their high

make up for the loss from the sur

Strange as it may seem, the lake
has tides, well-defined tides discov-

The people are with DR.. Wiley and
against the department. They Will
commend the spirit and purpose of
the man who has devoted twenty
years to the cause and found that
his work was not appreciated and
they will censure the men at the head
of the bureau and of the department
for allowing petty jealousies and other
less creditable motives from influence
ing their actions.
Dr. Wiley announces that his life
will still be devoted to the promotion
of the idea that the law should be
administered in the interests of all
the people and not in the interests
of few manufacturing concerns.
This climax to a long controversy the
merits of which the people of the

no doubt lead to a demand for a re-

the elimination of that element which
has attempted to make the work Of
DR.. Wiley ineffective.

As a chain is only as strong as it's
weakest link, so also is man or a
community This city and this valley
with the high grade citizens of whom
it is Justly proud still fosters in it's
midst some of the worst social evils
evils that are relics of harbarous times
and half-civilized communities which
in this age We would hardly care to
emulate. The "redlight" district and
the allied interest the saloon, will we
think, cease to exist when sober and
sane men cease to take tribute from
some source which in turn traces its
origin back to them, and when every
parent takes home to himself the
question of whose boy or whose girl
is furnishing the fuel for these con-
Stunning fires, with the possibility. if
not the probability, that their own

A man at the head of one of the
largest industrial interests in this
community said recently that the ma
iority of the checks from his 100000
pay roll were returned to him with
the Endorsement Of various saloon
keepers, and upon inquiry it is found
that most of the business men have
made the same observation concern
ing their pay checks This speaks
volumes for the hold that such inter
ests have upon the employees of the
community.

DEMOCRATIC HARMONY ON THE
ROCKS

Free sugar has passed the house,
the democratic party. Representa-
tives from Louisiana and Colorado
both sugar producing states-re-
fused to vote for the bill, saying that
the measure would ruin the home in
dustry. Furthermore, they propose
to block the passage of the income
tax bill which is coupled with the
free sugar bill because it is designed
to furnish the revenue that is lost
by making sugar free. The attitude
is significant of the growing discon-
tent in democratic ranks of the tar
if revision policies of House Leader
Underwood. This discomfort would
be greater if it were not known that
whatever tariff bills the democracy
passes at this session are not after all
mere pretenses at reform, because it
is known that the senate will either
refuse to pass them or that Presi-
dent Taft will veto them if they are
passed. If democracy were in full
control in congress and had a man
in the White House, many of the re-
vision bills would never have gone
through The fact that they have
gone through has been used to adj
vertise a harmony of purpose that
does not in reality exist and the fact
that it does not is disclosed frequently

Taft and Colonel Roosevelt.
Today in the state of North Dakota
public sentiment will be decisively
tested as between Colonel Roosevelt
and Senator La Toilette. 1t is con-
coded that the state is radically pro-
gressive, and until recently, that 1t
was overwhelmingly for La Toilette
but the growth and sweep of the
Roosevelt sentiment is now to be
measured definitely at the ballot box.
The Roosevelt managers claim the
state but the La Toilette leaders con-
cede nothing and are willing, they
assert, to stand or fall on the results
of today's vote.
