The copper era and Morenci leader. [volume] (Clifton, Ariz.) 1911-1929, 1914-01-09

Col. Speer, of the Arizona Republican, is
growing facetous in his old days and hops aboard
the editor of this paper because he dared to make
inquiry of the gubernatorial candidacy of Senator
Worsley, man almost equal to the leaders of the
Progressives of Arizona in his radicalism. Then
he accuses the International of attempt to toll
Judge Suffer, of Bisbee, into the guebrnatorial
race, further accusing us with being prone to stir
up political row long before is due.
We think we see an attempt of Brother Speer
to dodge the question sent out in recent Phoe-
nix story to the effect that Col. Dwight B. Heard
and Governor Hunt had arranged to bunk under
the same political blanket during the coming cam
paign. This story vigorously denied by the
governor, but there is dumbness the part of
Col. Heard.
1t is not surprising to see Col. Speer pleading
for time before the Arizona Progressives
will be called upon again face the political
sic in this state. Assuming all that is righteous
for the Bull Moosers and scornng any story to
the effect that any Democrats Or Republicans are
worthy of place in the heaven-born column of
the Rooseveltian followers will not satisfy de-
sire to know just what the Progressives propose
to stand for in this state when the time comes for
all parties to stand up the political lickog-In-

THE DECLINE OF THE "PROGREssIvEs."

From all points of the compass there come
political winds that indicate the early demise of
the progressive party; he who can hear the
booming of the waves of reaction caused by the
utterances and actions of Roosevelt the party S
founder and upon whose remarkable personality
the members OF the party cling cluster children
about the strong father.
The dsentregation of the party is such
that it is patent to even the casual obserker of
things political Even in Arizona indications are
strong that the party could poll far less vote
than at the last state election. In Phoenix the
republican organization does not appear to be
favoring any combination with the deserters, and
it is openly stated that the progresSlves as party
there are so greatly in the minority that their
strength is not seriously considered by those
gagged in the PRONUNCIATION of schemes of political
aggrandizement
Roosevelt will probably be candidate for
the presidency at the next election. Should Will
son continue to pursue course that is in accord
with the wishes of the people, the chances of
Roosevelt in that election would be remote that
no alarm need be occasioned thereby. Already
the people are signifying their belief that Wilson
is prominently the best man the democrats could
possibly have chosen, and should the decisive poll
cies of Wilson be proven O be for the countrys
interest, his popularity two years hence will
suit in victory that will be pleasing to those
who have for their leading motto the necessity of
peaceful construction.
The efforts of those who desire reunion of
Roosevelt with the republican party, and thereby
making probable his success in the next election
should Wilson fail to gain the continued support
of the people, apparently without results, the
members, guiding, of the old guard being determ-
ined that the punishment of deserters shall be ad
ninistered to those who deliberately bolted the

sunshine she will soon be physically
and mentally superior to the woman
who dawdles away her time over a
piece of fancy work or talking the
latest gossip.
One Of the Advantages.
Air, light and space are said to be
esential to health, and, deprived of
these, the result is bound to be physi-
cal deterioration. There is no way to
obtain these three life-giving qualities
quite as satisfactorily as with the mo-
tor car.
The motor loving woman does not
have to remain at home on account Of
the weather, for with the many kinds
Of motor raiment procurable, the
weather has little effect upon the true
lover of the sport. Another prime ne
cessity of a woman's life is the alter
native of distraction or occupation, and
there is absolutely nothing that fits so
exactly every requirement as the motor
car.
There are many women who do not
realize their great need for physical
as we'll as mental exercise, and find
themselves exhausted and incapable Of
further effort when they have accom-
plished a certain amount. They do not
realize that unless one has healthy
body it is impossible to have healthy
brain, and without this one can not do
good work of any kind.
A change of scene is also neces-
sity, for upon the difference Of sur
roundings one must depend, to great
extent, for new IDEAS These can be
readily obtained by going abroad from
the beaten track, and for the woman
of affairs the motor car is the best
medium for this rapid transition from
one environment to another. The need
of the out of doors is a need felt by
every one.
Of course, one can walk and walk
ing costs nothing, but unfortunately
the things that cost nothing are not al
ways those that appeal to us, and so,
for those who can afford it, the motor
car is the ideal mode of locomotion.
Those women who have never ex-
perienced the pleasure that comes from
motoring have missed one-half the joys
of living. When a woman gets the
apeal to drive her own motor car she
is perfectly at home and soon rivals
masculine alleged drivers. She knows
that brisk spin into the country will
drive the cobwebs from the brain and
fit her for renewed activity.
Motoring is the most perfect cure
in the world for overweight nerves.
There are untold possibilities for good
in it as a rest cure in this restless age.
1t gives a healthy appetite and is a
pastime which demands sensible liv-
ing. It gives delight to life that can
not be found in elaborately decorated
drawing rooms. There are many WON
en- who can prove that their health has
been improved by it to a really won
derful extent.
The motto of the woman who can
motor should be, "motor early and
motor late, but surely motor" for each
and every woman who does can find
pleasure, good health, youthfulness and
an unequaled exhilaration with the
motor car.

HE 1914 automobile season will 60
down in history as an important
epoch, for it has strengthened a
grand move of womankind-absolute
domination of gasoline motor car driv-
ing, says the Seattle Post st-Intelligencer.
And the stride, if present indications
are a criterion, will find that woman
kinds mastering of space eliminators
will take a more progressive and
stronger step toward her future in
mans category than any other one
thing-partial domination in politics
exempt.
Could one have the opportunity of
close study of the daily work of the
automobile designer and engineer today
there would be no doubt of the inter
est displayed by them in seeing to
comforts for the woman motorist.
Try to Please Her.
A few days spent with any promi-
nent engineer in the motor car manu-
featuring world who is building a repu-
tation around a successful product
would find that hours, days, yes,
weeks, of study are put on problems
30 that woman can drive and mas
ter motor car. The tension on the
clutch, ease of steering, simplicity of
construction, control, set operation, are
all figured out with the idea that they
must be as simple to manipulate for
the woman automobile driver as they
are rugged in construction.
And all of this argues for predomi-
nation Of the woman at the wheel of
the motor ear. One has only to tour
Seattle on Sunday to see the in
creased number of women at the wheels
Of motor cars. A thrill of satisfaction
Of the eonquering of this wonder
method of transportation and pleasure
Immediately creeps over the less for
tunate woman. 1t is not disagree
able thrill, nor silly envious thrill.
There are goodly number of women
who sit on their porches on Sunday or
at the wheel of their electric who are
unconsciously laying foundation for a
position behind the spider of gaso-
line pleasure car.
Then again, what of woman driv-
ing the motor car from the hygienic
standpoint To my way of thinking it
rejuvenates the nerves, changes the
feeling Of dullness to one of energy,
gives keen joy into the beauties of
nature, stimulates circulation. The
woman who is affected with ennui
finds her troubles quickly dispelled by
a spin in her motor car, no matter
whether it is small or a large ear
