ARIZONA is A STATE.
George w. p. Hunt, a Democrat. is
the First Governor.

Standing on the portico of the cap
itol building, facing an audience OF
thousands silhOueted against a back
ground of perennial verdure, George
w. P. Hunt, native of Missouri,
took the oath of office as the first
governor of the state Of Arizona last
Saturday. A few hours earlier word
had come by telegraph from Wash
ington that President Taft had sign
ed the proclamation admitting Arl-
IONA to the Union, the last of the
territories on contiguous soil, and
the forty-eighth state.
The military was absent, the new
governor being adverse to Ostenta-
ton, and there was a very meager
display of silk hats and frock coats,
which invaded Arizona only recently.
George Hunt rode burro into Ari-
IONA twenty-five years ago and his
first work there was as a waiter in
a mining camp restaurant at Globe.
And Governor Hunt is as democratic
now as he was then. Saturday he
walked to the capitol building with
several other state officers to be in
augurated. The capitol is about a
mile from the city of Phoenix. The
Inauguration ceremonies were brief.
The oath of office was administered
by Chief Justice Edward Kent of the
territorial supreme court, his last Of
fetal act in that capacity. Richard
E. Sloan, ArizOna's last territorial
governor, stood beside his successor.
Then followed the inauguration ad-
dress, in which Governor Hunt prom
Used the new state a golden rule
administration, and pledged anew
his fealty to the constitution which
he helped to frame.
The new governor was born in
Missouri in 1859, and was reared
near Huntsville, a town named after
his family. His great great grand
father was a. soldier in the revolu
tionary war He was employed in
the mines and in the cattle business
for time and in 1890 he became
identified with the Old Dominion
Commercial company, merchandise
ing establishment in Globe. He is
now president and controlling factor
in that institution, as well as in the
banking establishment connected
with it.
Since the early '90s MIR. Hunt has
been a member of the legislature al
most continuously and has twice
served as president of the upper
house. He was elected to the con-
stitutional convention and made it's
president.

sections Of the latter state of po-

ell-worm. This disease is caused by
a minute, thread-like worm, which

feeds on the juices.
The Smoot pension bill, as a sub
stitute for the. Sherwood dollar-a-day
bill, has ben reported favorably to
the senate. This bill will involve
an annual expenditure of $24,OO0,-
900, while the Sherwood measure
would have cost about SIS, -000,-
900: The Smoot bill provides
for the pensioning of civil war
veterans sixty-two years old who
served ninety days or more, and any
Mexican was a veteran who served
sixty days or more. These Mexican
veterans would receive $50 month,
and the civil war veterans would be
put on graduated scale of from $13
a month for ninety day veterans
sixty-two years old, to $50 a month
for veterans seventy-tive years old
who served three years or more.
"Why cry economy only when the
old soldier is involved?" asked Sem
ator Kenyon in a speech in favor of
the Sherwood pension bill. He point
ed out that congress had raised the
salary of it's own members and Of
the president, had entered into an
expense of hundreds of millions in
the construction of the Panama
canal, and had even retired a naval
officer on rear admirals pay for dis

WHY ROOSEVELT:

Even from the standpoint OF pollt-
ical expediency. why should the Re-
publican party nominate Theodore
Roosevelt for president? What
would it gain?
Mr. Roosevelt's Worshipful sup
porters say he would poll more votes
than Taft? Would ne? Where is
the proof?
AS the candidate of united party
Mr. Roosevelt would probably be
stronger than Mr.. Taft. But as the
third-term candidate of divided
ship by stabbing his predecessor in
the back, Mr.. Roosevelt would be on
quite a different footing Not even
the unanimous vote Of a national
convention could hide the fact that
Mr. Roosevelt seized his nomination
ever the political corpse of a man
whom he himself moved heaven and
earth to nominate only four years
ago.
In states like Kansas and Iowa
and Wisconsin and Oregon, Mr..
Roosevelt would undoubtedly poll
more votes than Mr.. Taft; and these
states make and unmake no presi-
dent. They are nomnally Republi-
can anyway. The next president will
be elected by New York and Ohio,
and Indiana and Illinois and Mis-
souri,. How much stronger would
Mr.. Roosevelt be than Mr.. Taft?
Many persons have forgotten that
Mr.. Taft's popular vote in 1908 was
larger than Mr. Roosevelt's popular
vote in 1904 They have forgotten
that in spite of Mr. Roosevelt's over
whelming plurality in 1904, he poll
ed only 100000 more votes than Mr..
Mckinley received in 1900. 1t was
the fact that Judge Parker fell near
ly 100000 behind Mr.. Bryan's 1900
vote which gave Mr.. Roosevelt his
tremendous majority.
The Democratic party Of 1912 is
quite a different organization from
the Democratic party of 1904. All
it's factional differences and petty
feuds would disappear at once if Mr..
Roosevelt were the opposing candi-
date. Presumably many Democrats
would vote for Mr.. Roosevelt, but
twice as many Republicans would
vote against him, to say nothing of
the Republicans who would refuse
to vote at all. 1t must be remember
ed that in 1910, when Mr.. Roosevelt
made himself the issue in the New
York campaign, 100000 Republican
voters remained away from the polls
1t is easy to mistake applause and
popularity for political strength.
Likewise it is easy to mistake noise
for votes.--St. Joe Observer.

Elevating the Workingman.
President Mckinley, in one of his
speeches. said: ut must be con-
coded that the protective system has
dignified and elevated labor. We OBJ
serve it's triumphs on every hand
The industries most benefited by
| the high protective policy are steel,
wool and cotton manufacturing, and
we observe the methods by which
these trusts have "dignified and ele-
waited" labor" We observe one re-
suit of this 'elevating" process in
the Lawrence, Mass, strike, where
whole regiments, with drawn bayo-
nets, are required to keep order
among men, women and children
who are trying to retain their pres
ent wages of Sc, 81 and IS a week,
! in which cut has been threatened.
The "elevating" process is to be
seen, in the flower of it's beauty and
| triumph, in the steel trusts mills,
where men are forced to labor u
hours a week for the same wages
paid laborers for Sc hours work in
free trade England Still another
evidence of the "elevating" effect of
protection on labor is seen in the en-
ployment by the trusts, of thous-
ands of children.

OUR WASHINGTON LETTER,

(By Charles H. Tavener, special
Washington correspondent of The
Reporter.)
Judge Gary, head of the Steel Trust
attended banquet in New York.
The food was good; the lights were
bright; the silver shimmered; the
wine sparkled; the cigars added a
final completeness to the happiness
of all present. When it came Judge
Cary's turn to speak. his mind was
saturated with benevolence, and his
thoughts turned to the welfare of the
republic, and the sufferings of work.
ing men. Listen to him:
Things are being said nowadays
that are closely akin to the things
that were said just prior to the
French Revolution s. S Unless the
great corporations, capitalists, and
men Of large wealth and power take
a leading part in the amelioration Of
conditions, there will be changes
later by the mob
The newspapers next day told the
story of the banquet, and of Judge
Gary's speech. and the same news
witnesses before the Stanley commit
tee. These witnesses told how the
Steel Trust forces men to work 10
hours day, days a week, for
wages which compels them to live
like swine-a condition which Judge
Gary could ameliorate with a few
strokes of his pen.
The banquet hall is dark. The
diners are gone. The tables are
stripped of their linen and viands.
And somewhere in that deserted
room, shrunken so small that the
servants failed to see it when they
swept out the crumbs, is Judge Gary's
Beautiful Altruism.
Roosevelt and the Tariff.
Just once in his life Theodore
Roosevelt expressed an opinion on
the tariff That is, he almost ex-
pressed an opinion. In one of his
messages he wrote this sentence:
''In a later message l shall discuss
the tariff
A preliminary draft of this mes
sage fell into the hands of Senators
Aldrich and Lodge and Speaker Can
non. Presto! when the message fl
nally was submitted to congress, it
contained no reference to the tariff.
Aside from that, no living man can
point to written or spoken opinion
that Mr.. Roosevelt ever expressed
on the tariff question.

The Senate was discussing a bill
for the establishment of a Children S
Bureau in the Department of Com
MERGE and Labor. Senator Borah,
author of the bill, had explained how
the huge corporations were exploit
ing little children, crushing them,
with hard toll, while they were yet
of tender years. He explained that
the bill contemplated no interference
with the proper relation of parents
toward their own children, and that
it's purpose was merely to provide
for the collection Of statistics and
information on which the separate
states and municipalities could base.
a solution of the child welfare prob
lem.
''In the great Cities" concluded
Senator Borah, little children tester
and swelter and starve and steal and
die by the thousands. This bill is
designed to aid them"
Then up rose Senator Hepburn,
stand-patter, and for two hours the
Senate listened to his complaints
about the "unconstitutionality of
the bill. His final argument was
that Abraham Lincoln was a poor
boy. IS
