The Crying Need Is For Men.

Frequent reference made in the dispatches from Pnoe nix of the approaching end of the legislature
 Thank God, If the news IS true.
 The people of the State have been patient and long sui fene and even charitable under the aflctons visited upon them in the shape of four legislatures during the past since Statehood granted But even patience ceases to be virtue and the people about ripe for open revolt The sessions of the legislature have cost them between zO GOO and $3O0,O00, and for what?
 Absolutely nothing except nculcate the fear that u less adjournment laws will be passed that will do reparabe damage and reard the progress o the State for many years.
 The fact of the the money of the people has been wanony wasted for these legislative sessions there not being shadow of for their being called One extra session of two days length would have been amply sufficient to pass appropriation bill for the maintenance ot public institutions Beyond that nothing could have been done that would have been of any benefit The result has been demonstrate the ncompeency and neclency or he party power and prove that Is IS not t to rule It mas been rather expensive task to make that fact apparent costing as 1t has over quarter of million dollars But II the people will elect Governor who IS determined to foiSt his own hobbies on them and persist i'll breaking the law to have his own way, then they must pay the piper
 But one such experiment should prove enough, and doubtless will What Arizona needs among other things IS safe and sane Governor who will have regard tor hiS oath and who will his utmost endeavors to the end that the State shall progresSnot rerogreS Arizona most needs man the head of its government who will nave er interests at heart and who obSesed with lot ot silly notions that seeks force down the roats ot the people willy nly broad enough to realize that his own petty ideas are of no consequence but who will devote S atte t;on to the rDbuding of the commonwealth; who will not spend hi Stme schemlng and plotting the diSconl fture and ndong of those who disagree with him. man who is not seeking build up political machine at the eX pense the taxpayer who does not cry reform rom the hosetops yet buys goods Of his own establishment Tn defiance of law and per cent profit to self
 man who regards the law it is written and who will exc cute the law instead of trampng 1t under foot; man Whol will not make pretense of Democratic simplicity yet buys an automobile for convcts and converts it to his own AMBITIOUS use: man who will make appointments as the statutes prescribe who will not let convcts roam at large 10 make the name of Justice bowling farce; man who Will not spend his time saving the necks of codbooded murder CTS refusing to carry the mandates o the law ana the wishes of the people. 'r
 And we need legislators of the type of men who do hings-men of purpose and accomplishment not men who spend their time and the money of the people III petty bic erings not men who seek to enact laws which drive capa out of the State and prevent capital from entering It, put real men of brain and breath of view who will pursue the rght path no how long and loud the agatorS ana mischief breeders howl against those who have by industry and frugaliy managed accumulate competence; not men who seek to conscate property but who will pro tect it.
 Arizona not lacking resources On her thouSanos of hills sheep and the cattle feeding In her teue Val evs Nature has been kind and produces III abundance as the result of hubandry From the bowels of the earth come forth wealth the shape of precious minerals She haS an unsurpassed climate and happy and intelligent people bu she needs men in her halls of legislation men who by their acts shall proclaim the of square deal to al-no horde of ofcehoders and commissioners that serve no useful purpose and perform service save drawing saare and milking the treasury dry.
 Is it any wonder with the handicap of such men we have in power that going backwards and not TOT ward? Is 1t any wonder that the ot running the State government has tripled in the last year Is 1t any wonder that the feeling increasing every day that the salvation of the State lies in the recall of Governor Hunt! Is n any wonder that the newspapers of his party alarm ed at the deep current of revolt which daily growing have
