in the English coal fields. Not long

men in. the shaft ceased work. and the
next day 200 failed to go to work. with
the result that the colnery was

custom tho 400 men and youths were
summoned for leaving work without

to tho court, singing all the way. and
were received In front Of the court
house by q large crowd OF severa

DEMOCRATIC RALLY is CLIMAX
OF ENTIRE SEASON OF POLITICS
Rampant Democracy is Exemplified
at Great Rally Held by Democrats
at Morenci Club on Monday Even
ing, Eve of Election Day, Tuesday,
November 8.

The activity of the political season
of 1914 reached a climax at the great
rally held by the democrats of the
county and precinct at the Morenci
Club on the evening of Monday, Nov
ember 2, the eve of election, for there,
with the county nominees of the
party serving as a nucleus, the hosts
of the dominant, for the time, politi-
cal party, met in conclave that in
every particular was a rousing sue
cess.
Seated in a ,semi-circle before the
audience which more than occupied
the seating capacity of the auditorium
of the Club, were all the county
nominees of the party. Several of
these candidates GRATED, the oratori-
cal leaders of the company being
Honorables J. W. Aker, county school
superintendent, and E. E. Wall,
nominated by his party for the office
of county attorney. These two were
assisted in their spell-binding by
others of the company, yet their
speeches were the strongly enliven-
ing phases of the evening. Aker de-
| livered an address which was mainly
concerned with a defense of his adj
ministration. Wall spoke grandilo-
/ quently of democracy, its achieve
ments, and it's purposes.
Following the speeches, the chair
man of the evening took each and
every one of the candidates of the
semi-circle, and in rotation introduced
them to the cheering audience. An
interesting feature of the evening
were the brief addresses of Messrs.
Kreuder, Webster, and Shannon, all
these men earnestly requesting the
voters of the county to cast theil
ballots for Jim Cash for Sheriff
These three men, with D. D. Boyles
who was not present, were candid

MoRENcrs GENERAL ELECTION.
Six Hundred and Ninety-Nine Votes
Were Cast in Tuesdays BalIotins-
Surprising Race Made by Cameron
is a Feature-cansIer is Popular
Man for Supervisor.

The general elections of Tuesday,
November 8 at Morenci resulted In
the casting of six hundred and ninety
nine ballots, the majority OF winch
were for democratic nominees, IN
most instances, with exceptionally
popular republicans in instances beat
ing their democratic fellows.
Comparing Hunts vote with that
of Cameron, the democrats who voted
against their party's choice of the
primaries must be considerable IN
number, for Hunts vote was three
hundred and thirty-fve, while Cam
eron's was two hundred and sixty,
making Hunt very low in comparison
with the vote accorded to most OF
his fellow democratic nominees Tor
state, county and national offices.
And likewise D. M. Cansler, OF MO
renci, racing for the office of Super
visor, and on the republican ticket,
gained four hundred and fifteen votes,
a vote higher than was given to
any other candidate, of any party, for
the office of supervisor. And that
Cansler was defeated was because
he did not receive in districts out
side his home the support which his
home accorded him.
The race of Patty and Cash Tor
the office of sheriff was to an ex-
tent surprising to those who fail to
consider that Morenci is inherently
strongly tinged with .republicanism
for Cash gained majority of very
few votes.
During the forenoon hours, the be
levers that women deserve the bal
lot were disappointed, as very Few
ladies had visited the polls before thk
noon hour, yet Immediately after nool

SPOILED BY LIFE IN EAST
Uncle Sans Army OFFICERS and Sur
veyors Miss Native Servants
When They Return Home.

One of the members of the staff Of
army engineers who has just been re-
lieved from duty on the Panama canal
called attention the other day to an
aspect of life on the isthmus which
has received little attention in this
country.
'I was born in the South he said,
and can just remember the perfect
servants that my father had when 1
was boy. 1 was too young to remem-
Der much about the conditions that
prevailed on the big plantations be-
fore the conflict, but though my par
ents and most of their neighbors
were ruined by it and had to curtail
their establishments, the negroes who
stayed in service retained the tradi-
ton of ante-bellum days for many
years after the war.
when 1 left my home it was to
come face to face with the servant
problem as 1t is kp wn only in the
North. 1 had forgotten that there
was such thing as a cheerful, COM
petent servant who did not feel above
his work, until kind providence sent
me to the isthmus. A Jamaica negro
whom I employed as a man of all
work about my quarters showed me
depths of domestic contentment that
never dreamed existed.
THAT man, I am certain, stayed
awake nights to think up little atten-
lions with which to surprise me. /
never returned from a hard day on
the canal so hot and tired that Christy
did not succeed after a few minutes
in nursing me into a good humor.

about all good servants, was the per

edge of my moods was almost uncan.

in anticipating the vagaries of my

he matched his powers of pleasing

BENEFIT OF ROADS TO NON.
AUDITING PROPERTY
OWNERS,

Washington, ID. e., OcUoDer 81
The road building specialists of the
Department of Agriculture, in Bulle-
tin No. 1876, entitled Highway Bonds
have the following to say about the
benefit of a we'll constructed highway
to property owners whose property is
not directly on the road to be improv-
ed.
In planning the highway system or
the main market roads, it will be
found necessary to omit many roads
the improvement of which is greatly
desired by abutting landowners. The
fact that such property holders must
pay tax for the bond issue is only
an apparent injustice, for if the
highway system is well planned the
entire county will feel the benefits of
the improvement. AS rule, main
market roads reach the majority of
producing areas, and when they are
improved all land values tend to in
crease.
The fact that cities and larger
towns are frequently taxed for bond
issues to build highways outside of
their own limits is sometimes made
point of debate in bond elections.
1t is argued that because large part
of the county wealth is within the
temperate limit of such cities and
towns, highway bond money should
lalso be used to construct their
istreets. 1t is even urged that the
Expenditure should be made proper
Etionate to the assessed valuation with
lin the city limits. If the proceeds OF
highway bond issues were distributed
in this way, their purpose in many
cases would be defeated. The prf
mary object of the county highway
bond issue is to build county market
roads and not to improve city streets
although a high percentage of the
assessed valuation may be city proper
ty. 1t is now known that the expen
diture of city taxes on country roads
lis a sound principle and that it is one
of the best features of State aid TO
