enteen men took long boat. It was
so overcrowded that they were afraid
( to try landing on the first bar and
hung around outside, hoping the tur-

This is Not a Party Day

An appeal has been made and will be made to- day vote for certain candidates because they are democrats, republicans progressives. Every such appeal should be indignantly rejected an attempt to procure a violation of the charter. We do not believe that any considerable number of the people democracy, republcansm pro sgressivism in city government.
 Any candidate elected by partisan votes would have right feel that his election carried with it d mandate from plurality of all the people to install partisanism in the city government. He would then have a right to attempt to make his party stronger in the government and to appoint to office only members of his party. That is the thing have been trying to get away from
 Are we going make a shipwreck of the com mission form of government at the very moment or it's launching? Are going to miss a business like government in order that parties may be strength ened that the partisan spirit may be increased? Are we going to sacrifice the chances of Phoenix for advancement? we going subject ourselves higher taxes, higher for public service and inefficient service in order that few men may hold office and that party may have patronage to dispense? If so We have wasted and worse than wasted, much valuable time and much money in curing a charter for a commission form of govern ment

The End of the Fight

A municipal campaign which means more to Phoenix than in which the voters had ever taken part has ended. The only remaining thing to do is get the vote. If that is well done today, we that all will be well, great is our faith in the wisdom the majority. Only few of the people selfish only few of them are biindy prejudced be easily fooled. Intelligence is always in the majority, but sometimes intelligence is inert while prejudice and selfishness always active. That is why the minority often rules and why We so frequently have bad government
 Under the old system of boss rule, the caucus the old fashioned primary and the party conven- ton tendency toward apathy was natural. It was party against party. The responsibility was always placed upon party or another. It now rests upon every man and every woman and if the do discharge it, il will De taken up by secret and irresponsible factions Of whatever re- sult the people be heard complain. They had their chance and did take it.
 Commission government is not automatically good; it is only government by the people if the people govern, and if the government is not exercised by and for the people. factions rings and cliques will exercise it for themselves, and it will be extravagant inefficient and disgraceful But We all understood that when voted for the char ter, and if We have forgotten it. least Ooo of us will go the polls today and vote for good government, a responsible government
 In all this campaign definite issue has been presented. We by this rather, that the people have not been divided by issues. Some of the candidates, their instance, have an nounced certain policies without being asked to do so But after all the candidates for mayor and commissioners stand upon the regulations they have made and not upon those which they have promised to make They invite confidence in themselves and in future policies
 We suppose that majority of the voters feel about this The Republican does; that the mayor and commissioners should go into office as if they were entering upon the management of tremend- ously important private business Problems will con- front them and they should be left free to meet them It has seemed desirable, therefore, only that the candidates should be of ability to meet those problems and of character and firmness That all that The Republican has insisted upon and that is why have supported Ernest W. Lewis Joseph Cope, Dr. L. D. Dameron and Harry A Diehl We do not know how they will handle any particular problem; do know whom they will appoint office. But know the men them selves anl trust them. We think that every may them and may believe that they will work earnestly and efficiently for the betterment of Phoenix and it's people

AMERICAN CONTEMPT FOR TIME

This is part of the American philosophy of life According to the clock they late contnu- ously and regularly late for everything: but the American realizes, as the Englishman does not that is the superior of the clock. What after al is q clock but q machine? What the sun itself but lifeless matter? Man, a living soul ought to be and in America is the superior of any machine No self-respecting would allow his typewriter to decide what letters he will write let himself he dictated to by his piano s what tunes he will play. A clock is than typewriter, has hardly as much soul a piano Why should it decide how long should spend at his lunch? The American-and this is a proof of the greatness of the nation--has asserted him self against the clock has mastered the vile thing and goes through the world free man. hustled by the great imposter Time.
 It is something to have grasped this philosophy and my understanding of it goes far to console me for the loss of my old illusion I also comforted by finding in the American contempt for time answer to question which for many years troubled me. Why do Irish get very well in New York, and comparatively speaking, badly in London?
 We govern New York. We have never done more than worry England.
 The answer is now plain to me. In America have found nation which takes view of time similar to The Belfast cannot be re- garded Irish in this matter. Like the English man, he bows down and worshps the idol which astronomers have set up.
 I suppose it is the astronomers who are respon- sible for the fetish The of the Irish people wiser. They as wise the Americans We know, as they do, that the world goes just the if every meeting church service every play starts late; that it makes difference in the end dishes are laid before you by perspiring walters or spend pleasant hours over them; that no man is any poorer at the end of year by regarding his office club in which he is always ready to entertain his friends with easy courtesy-George A.

Thursday
By WALT MASON

When Thursday comes, with smiling eyes, all other days seem cheap and vain; 1 always think We ought to rise and hand it a gold headed cane Thor, son of Odin, god of war believe me, reader was peach, and when scrap he usted for, the other gods let out screech. And for him they named this day-a hint that should gird lOins, make sloth fool habits slay and gather in the sparkling coins. In Olden days they used to wade around in blood and dead mems bones but all such customs decayed with ancient swords and ancient thrones. We do fight today with clubs with maces with bombs accurst, yet must meet the wal-ike dubS who try to SWipe the pudding first. The battle in the busy mart is fiercer than Floden Field, and strikes to the heart though neer claymore do we weld And Thursday brings martial fire to warriors who distressed, it nerves the that's prone tire, and fills with zeal the anguid breast. If this is false-if Thursday fails to for further strain, well may the gods indulge in walls the Son Of Udin lived in vain!

To Connect Wine by April 1.

BY the 1st of April Superintendent Val
liam Owens expects 10 have the 1850 level
OF the Eagle & Blue Bell mine connected
with the wnze which has already been
sunk nearly 200 feet below rho 1850
which previous to The sinking Of the main
shaft short time ago was the deepest
level in the property. Since the shaft
work stopped about the first of the pres
ent year nearly $50 feet Of drifting has
been done on the 1850 level, and Mt
Owens believes phat he stil has 200 feet
OF ground 10 cut out before he can con-
meet this level up with the 1850 winze.
, over one-third of the ore now being
shipped from the Eagle & Blue Bell mine
is being taken from the two levels below
the 1850 and which at the present time
are reached only by the winze. and con-
sequently II can readily be seen that a
connection with the 1860 level will be Of
considerable benefit TO the mine. 1t Will
mean much better ventilation OF the new
er workings OF the property and Il sub
stantial reduction in operating expenses,
as the ore can be dropped down to the
1850 and brought directly to the surface.
AT the present time 1t is necessary to
hoist to the 1850 and then tram the ore
to the main shaft through which II is
hoisted the second time before IT can be
landed at the surface
The switch crew on tho Rio Grande
railway IS becoming expert IN bucleing Its
way through the snow and II has been
making regular trips to the Eagle, the
mines output being about normal for the
present week.
