scarcely one of whom could be elect
 ed to any office in the State, and the
 governor shorn of his power as a
 matter of self protection to the
 State This has been accomplished
 and brought about by the men in the
 legislature who were largely instru
 mental in boosting him into the
 office of governor.
 And now comes the dismal wall
 this lost shriek of a retreating dis
 comfited official as he laments the
 dehorning process of a justly indig
 nant legislature Few men in any
 State were ever honored as has been
 George Hunt, and it is distressing to
 say that no man in all of this great
 nation ever failed so dismally and
 so thoroughly to meet the require ments of public demands as has this
 same George Hunt. Elected by a
 great majority on tidal wave of
 Democracy, Mir. Hunt was placed ill the governors ohair-put there by conhding, trusting people
 The man began his administra-
 ton with a ridiculous display of jingoism, by walking to the State capitol to show the people they had elected common, everyday work ing mana man who would not in dulge in any of the frivolities of capitalistic representatives. But af- ter two months of official life, even the street cars were not good en- ough for this champion" of the toil- CTS of the state, and he not only pur- chased an automobile for his daily use, but permitted his land commis sion and superintendent of prison to do likewise; and now we find these high salaried officials travelling at will in their private cars at the ex- pense of the taxpayers of the State, while the governor, loudly proclaim ing "let the people rule," by vote, legislative message and otherwise ar rogates to himself all of the powers of an autocrat and disregards his oath of office whenever it comes in conflict with his own sweet will. And now when the legislature, in its in dignation at his disregard of public demands. enacts a law depriving him sf his powers to reprieve criminals he charges bad faith, prejudice and many other silly and senseless ale gations that would bring the blush of shame to a school boy. The truth is Governor Hunt is by far too small a man mentally or other wise to fill the governors chair. He is narrow, bigoted and in every way unftted for that high office.
 If the gentleman has been abused, if he has been deprived of his rights, why doesn't he, instead of seeking relief in the referendum, resign his office and come before the people for vindication. If he is so ma gni- fcently right in his attitude of gov ernor, he can and would be rc-elect ed by the people of Arizona. WE DARE HIM TO TRY THE FIX PERIMENT He boastingly shout ed many months ago, that IF ONE OF HIS HONOR MEN RAN AWAY HE WOULD RESIGN HIS POSITION AS GOVERNOR, Well, dozens of them have gone, but the gentleman still holds his office.
 In conclusion we will say Arizona has had several incompetent men in the governors office, but it re- maiped for the Democracy of this State to fill that high station with a man who has not a single qualif- cation for the position, and who has

TOO MUCH GOVERNMENT.

1 One or the most alarming tenden- cies of the times lies in the direction of too much law. It has become the fashion to regulate everything through the agency of state and nat ional commissions, leaving little to the initiation of the individual Since the shouting for reforms began, laws have been put upon the statute books by state or nation, that touSh us on all sides.
 We are regulated as to the food that we eat, how we may travel, the hours we may work if we are in certain kinds of employment, the investments we may make. The last expression of foolishness came from Senator John Sharp Williams, who proposes to prosecute employers who reduce wages because of the tariff law.
 Along the same lines we have a number of states passing blue sky laws" whereby state commissioners are to pass upon the value of all stocks, bonds or other securities to be sold in the state Added to the other absurdities of our own asin- inc legislature. was an effort that nearly succeeded, 10 pass one of the most absurd bills ever conceived in the brain of a cheap politician or blatant demagogue. In so charac- terizing it we haven't the slightest idea who introduced the measure, hence there can be nothing personal in this comment
 The trouble is that every one wants to regulate" something or somebody. A sentiment has grown up that the State is the fountain from which all blessings flow, and that all our ills. many of them i'm aginary, can be cured by the inter vention of the State.
 The spirit of revolution, of change, of discarding the old for the new, may we'll be illustrated by the stors of a man who was interested in a | perpetual motion machine-a gravity motor, he called it. He was told that it was impossible because it con traveued the law of gravitation an nounced by Sir Isaac Newton. He asked how long ago Newton lived. When told that his law of gravita- ton was announced about two hun dred years ago, with q snort of dis gust he asked what a man living two hundred years ago could know about modern conditions.
 Unconsciously, we are drifting in to the paternalism that obtains in Europe and consequently away from the individualism that has made this nation of hundred million people the happiest and the richest in the world Let it be said with fear and trembling, lest we be charged with being reactionary, but the greatness of the United States has been at tained under the capitalistic system. It has brought the initiative of the in dividual into play.
 Frequently and justly it is pointed out that most of the men who are successful in any line of work are products of country life. The country boy learns self-reliance, how to meet problems and solve, them. In the city, just around the corner there is a specialist to serve the needs of the city youth. If he have a horse the blacksmith is near by to keep him shod. The country boy must learn to nail on the shoes himself, probably, in addition, he , must make both the shoes and the

BOOK STORE.

Let ms hope that another Christmas
will not find us uwithout a boob store
i'll Brownsville. Is there then a CRYING
need Tor a bookstore in this place?
There is always need of a book store in
a place the size of this. There
is never a greater need than at a time
like Christmas. 1t is not hat there are
no stocks of Christmas good here. For
the more expensive and artistic kinds
of goods for Christmas gifts there could
be no better place than Brownsville;
but for the man long accustomed to buy
ing Christmas gifts there is nothing
that can quite take the place OF, Mc
bookstore.
Possibly the good old habit of buying
books for Christmas gifts may have
fallen somewhat obsolete. Possibly
there are now, as, there nave always
been, people who rather resent the re
cipt Of books from Santa Claus. Which
is only another way of saying that
tastes differ. For it must be admitted
that nOw, as of old time. there are peO-
pile who care for NJ other kind of
Christmas gift. Most of us nave some
friends so constituted that they prefer
gifts of books to any Other-and are
disappointed if they fail to receive theIl
Moreover most of us feel hat the wider
the range of selection we have. the more
likely we are to suit ourselves and our
friends. Any modern. well equipped
book store is likely to have in s,Stock
