PUBLICITY FOR
STATE RESOURCES

1t has. never been customary to
spend public funds to any extent
in the form of advertising. So much
taxpayers money slips along the easy
path of ordinary expenditure, that
some needed enterprises are not
undertaken.
The subject is suggested by the
fact that the Legislature OF SO con-
sentative State as New Hampshire
recently made an appropriation to
advertise the State as a Summer
resort. This is kind of thing that
individual cities are doing, OVERRIDING
in some cases, but which is but
rarely done by State as a whole.
Individual localities, Board of
of Trade and merchants associa-
tons, real estate dealers, hotels and
railroads circulate a good deal OF
literature. But no comprehensive,
systematic effort has been made
to set forth in one telling appeal all
the resources of this State. 1t is
the kind of thing, which, being every
body's business, is nobody's.
A host of city people are looking
for agricultural land, or for Summer
homes for rest and refreshment
Thousands of young men are look
ing for chances to engage in bust
ness. The American people are on
the move, and they will go to the
States that advertise their RESOURCES
the most thoroughly.

THE DOCTORS CHANCE.

DR.. Jacob Harold Gallinger was
born in Cornwall, Ontario, a long
time ago. He has been a United
States senator from New Hampshire
for twenty-five years, and has two
more years before he comes up
again for reelection. He is a con-
servativs old gentleman, Republican
and standpatter. Judged from or
binary standards, his life has been
a success. His success as a poll
tician is said to be due to his policy
as young physician after he moved
to Concord, New Hampshire, where
he has lived since 1862.
In the latter sixties there was a
young city physician in Concord who
looked upon the poorer people,
whom it was his duty to serve, as
the dust beneath his feet. Quite a

little colony of Italians had settled
In Concord, and most of them were
poor. Also, there were others who
were poor. The young city physician
made calls reluctantly and treated
the patients insolently. Besides, not
withstanding the fact that his in
come from the city was only thirty
dollars a month, regularly he man
aged to make it total up to about
a thousand or twelve hundred dollars
a year Also, he tried to get all
the money he could from the poor
people who called for his services
as city physician.
An Italian killed man against
whom he had a grievance, and
wounded the mans wife The city
physician was sent for to treat the
injured woman, and responded re-
luctantly. After he reached the scene,
he demanded a fee Of two dollars
which the neighbors had to take up
collection to pay.
The matter was called to the at
tention of the mayor and alderman
and the young man was discharged
and DR.. Gallinger was made city
physician. He made himself the
friend of the poor and the poor, as
is their habit, became his friend. He
was elected to the Legislature two
or three times and in 1891 was
sworn in as United States senator
and has held the position ever since.
1t is quite possible for an am
bilious and conscientious young doc
tor to lay a solid foundation for his
future in nearly any city of the
nation-even he might do so in
Prescott.

COLLEGE GRADUATE
AND BASE BALL

Hundreds OF college ball players
at this moment face a most perplex-
ing question. Shall they take the
$50, 500, or more a week that the
insinuating league scouts offer them
Or shall they return to every day
employments, in which, for 4 few
years, they may not be able. to earn
their own board?
Shall it be the cheers of the multi
tude, and black lines in the news
papers? Or shall it be dull prosaic
addition and subtraction in an office,
the grind of producing cloth or boots
or shoes?
Formerly when mother heard that
her loved boy, destined for law
books or the brick trade, had be
come a professional ball player, she
almost wept. On the ball field
she thought sporty men swore,
gambled and adjourned to the saloon.
+ Now there are plenty OF absolutely
clean, high minded fellows in all the
big leagues. A man must at least
be temperate to hit swiftly curv-
ing ball.
Probably the average player in
the big leagues earns more than the
average college graduate for the
same period in business or the pro-
LESSONS. Probably also, the average
big league player quits with less
money laid aside than the average
college graduate has at the same age
in his business or profession.
The atmosphere surrounding the
ball player is not one conducive 10
thrift. He is subject to the adula-
ton OF the sporting fraternity. But
they are more than willing to smoke
his cigars and accept his provision
for their thirst
So 1t is hazardous as a business
proposition for a fellow to go into
professional base ball permanently,
unless he is the master. of his own
will, and can be satisfied to live his
own life. And he knows that in
ten to twenty years he has great
big break to make. While his former
classmate has reached substantial
success, he must learn the A B c.
of some business, though he should
be. assisted on his way by a sub
stantial capital (Which he may lose). !

ESTEEMED LADY
ANSWERS CALL OF DEATH
From SUNDAYS Daiiv.)

The sad and unexpected death OF
Mrs. Fred d. Darragh occurred in
the city yesterday after a brief i'll
ness. She was the wife of the
master mechanic of the Y-P Mining
Company, and was brought to Pres
colt only last week from Alhambra,
Cal, in the hope that a change of
climate might prove beneficial to
her health that had been affected
for sometime.
To those who knew her best, her
loss is a sad affliction and is re-
GREETED by many friends and relatives
here and elsewhere. She will be
laid away this afternoon, and services
will be held at Ruffner's chapel. The
bereaved husband has the sympathy
of many friends in this locality in
the inconsolable grief with which he
IS burdened.

BEvERIDGE AS PROPHET.

Former Senator Albert ]. Bev-
eridge has lengthy article in the
Saturday Evening Post in which he
labors to convince himself that there
can be no reunion of the Progress
sives and the Republicans. In fact,
according to Mr.. Beveridge, all other
parties are split to smithereens, and
it remains for the Bull Moosers to
save the country.
The article points out how the Re
publican party came into power
owing to discussions in the Wing
party, and that after the first Re-
publican defeat an effort was made
to have the new party realign with
the party from which they split, but
that Abraham Lincoln opposed and
prevented the fusion.
The greatest trouble with Mr. Bev-
eridge's proposition is that condi-
tons differ now from what they
were then, and men differ. Many
as are the claims to the contrary,
there is no Lincoln in the Bull
Moose party, and there is no essen
tial principle of reform urged by
that party that is not being worked
out by men and women who are
not trying to create political
party and get into office because
OF the work they are doing.
The Republican party is to be re-
organized and overhauled It had
welded power so long that a reverse
was necessary part of its discipline.
The people Of the country were so
prosperous that they felt they could
stand the luxury of political revo-
luton i'll the hope that good condi-
tons might be made better.
As the world is growing better
steadily there is no doubt that the
election OF Woodrow Wilson and a
Democratic majority in each house
OF Congress, will eventually be OF

WHAT IS A LOBBYIST?

Since the lobby question has been
and is liable again to become acute
with the reopening of the. investiga
ton by the Senate committee, the
following editorial in the Philadel-
phia Public Ledger is peculiarly
sane:
"a man who comes in his own
name to plead his own stated cause
in. explicit terms before members If
Congress or of State Legislatures
is not more guilty of heinous OF
Tense against the canons of political
morality than he who writes a letter
of earnest adjuration to a Senator
or argues with homiletic pros and
cons in the columns OF a newspaper.
There is no peculiar discredit at
taching to personal appearance on
the scene in Harrisburg or Wash
ington. Even the fact that man
is a salaried agent Of the Interests"
need not rebound to his eternal

"The honest legislator welcomes

facturer gives him facts about his

REFERENDUM ON THE
COUNTY DIVISION BILL

PHOENIX, June 2S-Referendum
petitions against the county division
bill are being circulated and stimuli
taneously its friends have discovered
that the official copy in the hands
of the Secretary of State is not
exactly as they thought the measure
was passed. They claim that one of
the important percentages was left
out of section twelve
The petitions originated in Flag
staff. a place where nearly everyone
is strongly opposed to county divi-
sion. 1t is believed that Senator
Breen had something to do with the
movement. Several copies have been
received in Phoenix and will be
circulated shortly.
Because they do not want to lose
the western end of Coconino the
people of Flagstaff and the east
end of the county are opposed to
the division bill and intend to sus-
pend its operation at least till the
general election of 1914. They. need
1880 names and cannot hope to
secure them all in their own county
so they are asking their friends in
other parts of the State to help.
County division is live issue
also in Maricopa, Pinal, ella and
Cochise. The people of Douglas and
Bisbee do not want this bill to go
into effect because they fear that if
it does the northern part of Cochise
will secede, with Tombstone or Viii
cox as the county seat. They feel
that to lose most of the farming
country in the county would be
disastrous to the mining districts

WARNINGS OF WAR.

Peace advocates are criticising
General Leonard Wood, chief of staff
OF the army, for saying to the
graduates Of the Carnegie institute
at Pittsburg, that the era OF peace
has not arrived and that we are not
prepared for war when it shall come,
as come it must. in the opinion OF
General Wood
Admiral Dewey, ranking officer OF
the American navy, is out in an
article, in which he expresses views
in harmony with those OF the chief
of staff The admiral says: 81
believe it is the duty of each genera
ton to pay its own insurance and
not thrust its burdens on the gen
erations that come after; and the
insurance for peace is navy strong
enough to compel it"
When the last session of the last
Congress met, it was with difficulty
that al appropriation was secured
for che battleship. Since the acute
trouble with Japan began, sentiment
las so changed that it is said there
would be no difficulty in securing
an appropriation for three battle
ships, were the matter before Con
gress now.
Peace societies are good in theory,
but they are capable, when not di-
rected by common sense, of doing
iHcalculable harm, The purpose of
the American Peace society, as de
fined by DIR. David Starr Jordan,
IS to make war. a last resort instead
of first. The plan of Secretary OF
State Bryan is to negotiate treaties
by which a neutral zone of invest
CATION will be instituted between
nations at outs His plan has the
endorsement OF the peace society,
which holds that if war is resorted
TO only at the very last, it will not
be resorted to at all
Without going to the length of
believing this, it can be readily I'M
derstood that any delay of the actual
beginning of hostilities gives that
much more chance to avoid war.
Investigation is valuable, if under
taken in the right spirit, but there
is no guarantee that it will prevent
war in the. end For example, the
Spanish war was preceded
BY no little investigation. However,
the Spanish resented our investiga-
tions more bitterly than anything
else in the situation. The war with
Russia was seen coming and was
discussed. by the diplomats of all
nations, but it does not appear that |
a formal discussion of the Difficult.
ties, as proposed by Mr.. Bryan.
would have prevented hostilities. t
Ever since the treaty OF Berlin,
more than thirty years ago, the
war cloud had been seen lowering
over the Balkan States. The conflict
was inevitable, unless the great
powers, should coerce Turkey into
yielding the demands of Bulgaria,
Servia and Greece. Nothing prob
ably ever has had so much attention |
in the chanceliories of Europe, yet |
war came suddenly and terribly.
Peace societies cannot expect TO |
bring about millennium There |
are situations where war is in
evitable, and the wise nation is pre-
pared when the inevitable comes,
just as General Wood and Admiral |
Dewey now are advising the Amer
lean people. We need the nucleus
of a strong army, and we must have
an adequate navy as Admiral |
Dewey puts it, navy second only
TO that of Great Britain.

WILD MAN OF THE
FOREST MAY Be
RICH M'KEE

WILLIAMS, Ariz., June 3O.-Un-
pitied, uncared for save by the
forces of nature, wandering alone,
creature of God, with mind gone and
long since believed dead and de-
voured by wild beasts, Richard c.
M'Kee is now supposed to be. -the
wild man seen by "Jave" Reynolds,
employed on the cattle ranch of
Charles Poison about twelve miles
southwest of Williams.
About ten days ago Reynolds,
while out on the range bordering
the great cedar forest in that sec
ton, was startled by the sight of
the figure of a man practically
naked, with his dark hair and beard,
wild and unkempt reaching below his
waist, suddenly emerge from the
forest and stop beside a brook to
drink Reynolds who is intimately
acquainted with the facts connected
with the disappearance of M'Kee,
identified him at once as the Chicago
engineer long since supposed to be
dead
When the man finished drinking
he raised his head and fixed his
great wild eyes on Reynolds.
Aren't you hungry-Don't you
want something to eat?" Reynolds
began.
Aroused by the sound of human
voice, the wild man uttered a wierd
sound and like the wind fled to the
south. For long distance Rey-
nolds watched him, lodging in and
out OF the trees, and finally disap-
pearing in the deep forest
M'Kee, a Chicago railroad man.
member of Calumet lodge of the
Brotherhood of Railway trainmen,
OF that city, leaped from the train
between Ash Fork and Williams
early in November, 1910. In the
early part of December of that year
he was seen for the last time by
party OF cowboys about twenty-four
miles north of Williams. His coat
and hat were found by Jimmy Nc
Lane who with Bob Wiley searched
the forest country with dogs, es-
pecially in the neighborhood of the
Sweetwood ranch, but no further
trace of M'Kee was found. Be
cause OF the deep snow and severity
of the winter it was thought he
had succumbed and been devoured
by wolves and coyotes like others
before him.
John M'Kee, brother of the
missing man, living at 1884 Pied
mont avenue. Oakland, California,
came to Williams, organized two
searching parties and for a month
secured the forest country where
M'Kee disappeared, but all to no
purpose. Other searching parties
headed by Marshal Patterson and
Sheriff Pulliam also secured the
country without finding a single
trace.
For the past three years Constable
Bob Postle has been in communi-
cation with Mixes relatives, who
until few weeks ago hoped against
hope he was alive and would be
found. At least, however, all hope
was abandoned and steps have been
taken to collect a fifteen hundred
dollar insurance policy on his life.
Constable Postle has communicated
with the brother.
Charley Poison was skepticaI
about Reynolds story but after
fully investigating is firmly con-
vinced it is true in every particular
and the wild man is Charles M'Kee.

This community was shocked
last Saturday morning by a report
from Audubon. Ia, that Miss Olive
Gardner was instantly killed last
Friday in an automobile accident.
Miss Gardner was a teacher in the
Scotland High school the past three
years. She was offered a position
again this year but on account of
the condition OF her mothers health
decided not to teach and was stay
ing at home. In a letter received
last Sunday by Chas. Robinson
from his sister, Mrs. Will Wilson
of Audubon, it is stated that Miss
Gardner in company with her
brother and another young man
started for Ames in an auto.
When near Boone they ran into a
guard erected by an unfinished
concrete bridge, and in the accident
Miss Gardner vas instantly killed,
and her brother slightly injured.
The other gentleman was not hurt.
Immediately on receiving the news
some Of the graduating class Of IS,
and other students of the high
school ordered flowers sent from

dubnn for the funeral
