A Review of a Year

This day marks the end of the first year of The Republican under it's present management. satis- factory year independence and progress Its ad- has been striking that of the com munity and the progress of the salt River valley has been a constant surprise it's most optimistic ct- 
 The Republican extends warmest thanks to it's patrons their substantial appreciation of its earnest effort serve them, the town, the valley and all Arizona. Without such appreciation much ot The Republicans effort would been in vain.
 This paper has stood the principles of the progressive party, for the principles of justice are eternal has stood it will always stand. for decency and honesty public and private life. The columns of The Republican have been devoted con stantIy the promotion of the Iegitinate enter prses and industries of the valley and the state and the exploitation of schools and excellent social conditions
 This paper has not appealed the sensational. It has avoided extravag,nt statements regarding itself and regarding conditions the city and the valley. IL has endeavored establish such repu fairness and accuracy that when it prints a statement that statement shall be accepted the truth
 Readers have probably observed the gradual dis appearance from the advertising columns of The Republican of q reprehensibIe class of foreign ad- vertising, especially appealing the ignorant and the vicious. As the contracts such advertising have expired it has been dropped, notwithstanding the mportunate requests of advertising agencies for renewals at advanced The papably fake patent medicine advertisements have also been eliminated.
 The Republican has steadfastly kept itself clean and in the clear has printed all the news that believed would give it's readers healthy nforma- tion and entertainment editorial policy at all times has what it believed to be the best for the material moral upbuilding of this community and the state It has been consistent but it's con +J1e ll and Tn reasoning that has been described as the hob goblin of little minds
 The Republican has gained the confidence of the community, and in it's second, and all other years it will prove that it is worthy of it Its usefulness will increase it's field broadens and nowhere this country is the field broadening more rapidly than n Phoenix
 Again thank the people of this community for their splendid support which has extended the subscription list and enlarged the advertising space of The Republican. and congratulate them upon the prospects for fall and winter. We look for ward with supreme confidence to much bigger and better Phoenix and a much better Arizona Republican October 5 1914.

THE OTHER SIDE OF MEXICO
(NeW York World)


 To Americans who for months have had it dnned into their that in Mexico business standstil that industries in of suspension bankruptcy and mines and railroads longer operated, that the whole country overrun by hordes of bandits and that chaos ruled everywhere, the news that commerce between the United States and Mexico during the fiscal just ended broke all records must q shock.
 the while that 15,OOO,OOO Mexcans. spread almost three times the of Texas supposed to be wholly absorbed in rapine and murder and civil war, they have found time pro duce upward of 10 per cent. more goods than ever before to sell to their best customers For the twelve months that rebels and federas, aided by brigands. reported be engaged in creating national ruin, the people have bought the United States several millions more than the average amount of merchandise.
 In view of the alarming reports conditions throughout Mexico with which the American public has long been fed these cold trade statistics disturbing It begins appear that although Madero was murdered by treachery and military court under Huerta has just declared that Maderos death was not punishable crime" and that although the air at Mexico City has been thick with plots and revolutionary conspiracies and politicians ntrigues, the sole occupation of the Mexican people has been evil strife The great mass of them must have been living and working and going about their daily business fashion.

q momentous Week in Phoenix's Life

It will be settled Saturday whether Phoenix shall have a modern of government, established on business principles, or whether shall stumble on indefinitely hampered by the restriction imposed by a charter never a good one, framed for small frontier town.
 The opponents the charter have kicked up
 great deal of dust and have attacked the proposed charter by means such catch-phrases as ''un- dernocratic" It was Robert Louis Stevenson, we believe who said: shall live by bread alone but principally by catch phrases.
 Cutting the brush away. the proposed charter offers to the people kind of power they can use to the utmost, instead of the power they did not and could not exercise. The charter would impress upon citizens interest they never felt before in tn conduct of the government It would take away the power hitherto held by organized political par ties for their own and for the benefit of their following It would restore this power to the people.
 This is the government aspect which we believe must present itselr clearly to every thinking man and woman. Then there is the business aspect It is proposed to eliminate. waste by eliminating poli- tics which in past here and everywhere, have been exceedingly wasteful. proposed both reduce the expense of government and to give the people better government, dollars worth of good eovernms,lt for every dollar expended.
 There are many in Phoenix who do not want this of thing; who do not want visible

COUNCIL OF JEWISH
WOMEN AIDS GIRLS

Oskaloosa, Dec. 9.--The careful and
far reaching supervision that Is given
girls from foreign lands, by philan-
thropic organizations In New YORK,
was illustrated by the little incident
that has recently come to light in Os-
kaloosa- few weeks ago. Miss Mails
Iucherman, aged Is, arrived in New
York aboard the steamship Oceanic,
coming from Russia. She was, by pre-
viOuS arrangement, directed to the
care Of the Council of Jewish Women
OF New York who have paid workers to
look after such matters. She was given
the necessary advice and direction, and
started upon her journey to Oskaloosa
where, she was to Join her father. N.
Handler. of South d street was named
as a resident friend of Mr.. Iucherman.
The girl arrived here all right. but just
before her arrival her father had gone
to Osceola to accept a better business
offer and had left instructions for his
daughter to follow him. The girl did as
she was advised and is now pleasantly
located with the family in Osceola.
She carried with her a card to be
signed by her friends upon arrival at
her destination, and returned to the
New York council In the excitement
due to the change in plans, the card
was not returned and Immediately the
New York ladies started an inVestiga-
tlOn TO ma out tnaC the girl ldu uot
been mislead enroute, and that she had
reached her destination. Mrs. Rea OPP

correspondence with the New York or
ganization through her connection with

FINE WEATHER
FOOLS THE BIRD
ENGLISH SPARROW FOUND SIT
TING ON HALF DOZEN EGGS
WHEN DISTURBED.

Even the birds have been fooled by
the warm spell OF weather that was
broken Saturday night by the return
Of winter. This Is proven by the fact
that some Of the little feathered fellows
followed the same habits that they
practice in spring and summer. An evil
dence Of this was found by Otto Arm
strong of the Ottumwa post office,
Mr.. Armstrong had occasion to visit
the upper floor of the barn at the rear
of his premises and his bird dog accom-
panied him. While looking about the
hay loft for some lost object, he was
startled by his dog which had just
aroused bird of the small English
sparrow variety. The bird flew out of a
small box that lay on a shelf in the
barn near a knot hole which served as
its means Of entrance to the building
and the dog seized 1t.
Upon looking into the box that served
as a nest for the sparrow, Mr.. Arm
strong found six eggs that the bird had
been setting on and would have hatch
ed had not the dog frightened her. He
is convinced that not alone were things
Of the ground fooled into the belief that
there was to be no winter, but the lit
tie birds as well.

DAIRY SPECIAL OVER
BURLINGTON IN 1914

Des Moines, Dec. 9.-Arrangements
for the operation Of a Dairy Special
over the lines Of the Burlington route
in southern Iowa, were made by w. d..
Barney, state dairy and food commits
sioner and E. 8. Estell. representing the
| Iowa Dairy association. The train will
leave Des Moines Feb 2. More than
| sixty towns will be visited, the exact
| schedule to be announced later.
The special Is to be managed jointly
| by the state dairy association and the
state dairy and food commission. The
Burlington route will pay all Of the
expenses of operation and will provide
dining car and sleeper for the lee
turers who will make up the party. The
only expense the state will have will be
the buying Of tickets for it's represen-
tatives The law forbids the railroad
carrying the men free.
In order to overcome a complaint
made last year that the speakers re-
manned in one place too short a time
Mr.. Barney will arrange to have the
train stay in each place at least half
day. A hall will be engaged in each
city, in which the lectures will be
given.
The commission Is giving special at
tention to the southern part Of the
state. 1t Is said that dairying is not as
well developed there as it is in the Gems
tral ana northern part or the state. Inc
experts hope to interest the farmers in
growing better grade cattle and to use
scientific methods in the production Of
milk, butter and cheese.
Four of the finest specimens Of dairy
cows in the state will be carried on the
train for demonstration purposes
There will also be complete dairy
equipment.
w. B. Barney, state commissioner
mfr assistant will neruona1
ly take charge Of the special. G. Fl.
Teller and P. w. Crowley assistant
commissioners will also be on the train
most Of the time.
