The fact that a sugar beet man
is coming to the valley with the in
tention of building a sugar beet
factory, providing the farmers give
him the proper encouragement,
should induce, not only the farmers,
but the business men as well, to get
busy and give all the encouragement
possible. A large sugar factory in
the valley will net hundreds of
thousands Of dollars to our people
each year. Such enterprises as this
require large capital, more than
could be raised in this valley. Let
us get together and give the enter
prise the encouragement it deserves.

Washington Wants One Of

A special to The Democrat of

presidential nomination on the demo-
cratic ticket for Mark Smith, the
veteran. Arizona democrat.
Although there are many here
who feel that Arizona is asking
great deal when the new state bids
for the second place on the national
ticket, yet nowhere was Mark
Smiths name taken other than in
serious manner.
The new senator-elect from Ari-

Jams, Senator Shively, of Indiana,
and Senator Martin. of Virginia,
democratic floor leader in the SEN
ate, when informed of his candidacy
expressed pleasure and willingness
to assist in every way possible.
Naturally, these men are not TAX
ing any active part in the matter,
but they all admire and respect
Mark Smith and realize his absolute
fitness for the position to which he
aspires.
Those who believe that Smith will
control no votes in the national con-
vention except those from Arizona.
ere badly mistaken and are not ac-
quainted with conditions in the east.
Mark Smith is widely known in
New York among the leading demo-
Gratis and has already received num-
erous pledges of support from the
Empire state. Also in the south,
especially in Kentucky. he is strong
and will receive a splendid vote.
Being western man, and the only
candidate from west of the Mississ-
ippi, it is naturally presumed here
that he will receive the solid sup
port of delegations from the west
ern states.

Indications now point to the fact
that the government intends build
ing the San Carlos reservoir. Should
this dam be constructed it will COM
pletly submerge the San Carlos
agency and about fifteen miles of
the Arizona Eastern tracks. This
will necessitate the removal of the
agency, and that removal will pro-
badly be to or near the south end of
the reserve, somewhere near old

HONORING ROBERT EMMETT

Preparations are under way in
Arizona for memorable observance
of the one hundred and thirty-fourth
birthday anniversary of Robert EN-
met.
There is fascination in the story
of Emmet's career that never loses
its potency.
1t is inseparably associated with
Irish history, which is most re-
markable record. never losing inter-
est for moment for the student,
the investigator of political evolu-
ton and the seeker of such romance
as compels the attention, stirs the
blood and moistens the eye.
Conditions regarding political af-
fairs in Ireland have changed ma
terially since the day of Emmett, yet
that does not lessen the interest TAX
en- in his romantic career, his dar-
ing, and his picturesque adventures,
and after all that there comes that
majestic, solemn remarkable state
ment from Emmett, as he stood in
the dock, following his sentence. an
utterance so willingly touching, so
appealing, moving, and so remark
ably pathetic that it continues gem
of literary excellence.
Thus, while the antagonism and
the general conditions and the stren-
uosity of Emmet's day might have
undergone radical change, the
personality of the man his bravery
and willingness to endure all bard
ships for his cause, give him an
everlasting place in Ireland's annals.
Song, story and poem have sup
plemented history in chronicling his
career and thus have made him one
of Ireland's most charmingly pictur-
esque heroes. Democrat.

WOMANS SUFFRAGE
The Right to Vote Applies
Equally to Men and
Women

At the first Woman's Rights Con-
vention, held at Seneca Falls, N. Y,
in 184S, Elizabeth Cady Station pre-
sented the first resolution asking
equal suffrage for women.
She had drawn up the resolution
before going to the convention and
asked her husband what he thought
of it. He said: Now you have
made the whole thing ridiculous. So
long as you advocated simply rights
of education, rights of property.
rights of children and all that sort Of
thing, it was very well, but the idea
of demanding the right of suffrage!"
Lucretia Mott. one of the pioneer
workers, and others agreed with Mr..
Stanton in opposing the resolution.
So Mrs. Stanton seemingly gave it
up. But the the thought still rank
led in ber mind. She knew that
the ballot was the only way for
woman to secure the rights for
which she was working.
During the convention she sur
prised the members by introducing
her resolution, and by the help Of
an eminent orator, who was present,
carried the whole convention and
the resolution was passed unamious-
ly.
In referring to the incident forty
years later at the International
Council of Women, held in Wash
ington, D. c., in 1888, he said:
There are few facts in my humble
life to which l look back with more
satisfaction than to the one, record
ed in the history Of woman suf-
frage, that | was sufficiently en-
lightened at that early day to sup
port Mrs. Stanton's resolution for
woman's suffrage. | have done
very little in this world in which to
glory, except this one act, and l
certainly glory in that
Continuing, he said: This new
revolution in human thought will
never go backward. When a great
truth once gets abroad in the world,
no power on earth can imprison it,
prescribe its limits or suppress it.
1t is bound to go on till it is the
thought of the world. Such a truth
is woman's right to equal liberty
with man."
Should there be any opposed to
the right at this late day, would
suggest that he, she, or they, get
busy at once, convert yourselves and
your neighbors, be in a position to
say, when we do get the ballot, Il
told you So" Be in the lead of
every great reform. Don't have to
creep in at the tail end.
Should any man want argument, let
him examine the grounds on which
he claims the right to vote. Every
reason on which he urges his right
will apply equally to womans right
to vote.
However, argument is not neces-
sary at this stage of the game. Its
a foregone conclusion that woman
will get the suffrage and we ask all
voters from the governor down to
champion our cause and your cause,
for reforms benefit all, and equal
suffrage is great reform and will
not only be State. wide or Union
wide, but it will be World wide.
Put yourselves in the lead.
Respectfully,
E. B. COLEMAN.
