again became an integral part, rather
than go forth as a source of detriment
to the public, as is the case when the
usual policy of rigor and punishment
is followed. His position toward
capital punishment is that personally
he is opposed to the practice, and that
because three thousand people of Ari-
iona a number of months since petit
toned for an election which would
indicate the position of the entire
states citizenship upon this question,
he would not take any action toward
ending the lives of men now held for
crimes calling for the death penalty
However, he stated that he would fol-
low the will of the people in the mat
ter. He also paid his respects, not
flattering, to the press of the state
which adversely criticizes his admin
istration of Arizona, stating here that
he had become accustomed to the
assaults, and was not composed with
out them.
Seated upon the stage with the state
candidates were all the candidates of
the county, all of whom earlier in the
day had met with the state company
at Duncan, in the ella valley, where
the county men had been campaign
ing for several days previous.
The defense of the democratic adj
ministration as made by the party's
candidates on October % will be in
teresting in comparison with the ad-
dress to be delivered at Morenci on
Wednesday, October %, by the entire
list of republican candidates for state
offices, and also the two candidates
for the upper and lower houses of
the national congress.

Muse Yields to PearsaII-


The latest production of Or" Pear
sail, Morencis accepted poet laureate,
Was issued this week, and has for a
theme the school teachers of the
town, as is shown below:
Home Again
What care we for the salary cut, or
decrease in the wage;
Or whether Kaiser Wilhelm makes the
British Lion rage,
Or if the Germans are at war with
Frenchman and Cossack:
We've no time for such trif1es; the
Teachers have come back.
We missed their winsome faces all
through the summer long;
But now that they are with us. life
seems one merry SDng.
We have no time for candidates. for
politics we've spurned;
We give this for the reason-the teach
ers have returned.
Some of them were here last year.
while others are brand-new;
But teacher is teacher, and we love
them all CHATS true)
And nothing now can happen to make
our ardor damp;
The world seems vastly brighter
now the teachers are tn camp.

Water Company Increases Pressure


The Morenci Water Company has
completed an increase to the height
of one of their ,a"ge storage tanks
above Chihuahua Hill, this being that
through increased pressure the
large concrete reservoir of the A.
c. company, and supplying their No.
6 concentrator might be filled. Al
ready the flow from the storage tank,
which is supplied by the Eagle Creek
pumping station, has filled the con-
crete concentrator reservoir to its
capacity, which is immense, it's depth
being twenty feet. The increase in
pressure, through increased height of
storage tanks, was the last phase of
the many improvements which the Mo-
renci Water company through the past
months has made that it's service to
both domestic and commercial con-
sun3ers might be of the best. SINH
larly, the pressure of tanks supply
ing domestic service mains leading to
residences built high along the hill
s-des may be increased through
heightened reservoirs. The pressure
n present obtaining is splendid, but
e tendeAl9y to build residences at or
'cve the present level is considered
b.. the management of the Water
company.

For MeteaIf,s Constable

Percy Osborne, of Metcalf, was a
visitor to Morenci this week, and
while here stated that he had enter
ed as a democrat, the race for con-
stable of the Metcalf precinct. Mr..
Lester, the regularly elected nominee
of the democratic party for the office
of constable, has removed from the
precinct. Because of entering the
contest at such a late hour, Mr.. Os-
borne will not succeed in having his
name printed upon the ballots, and is
relying upon his friends loyalty to
the extent of their writing his name
in blanks upon the ballots. Two
other citizens of Metcalf are contesting
with Osborne for the executive posi-
tion, one is racing independently
and the other as a republican.

England Calls Her soldiers :

A striking illustrator Of the vast
ness Of the conflict Low raging
among the nations of Europe was the
receipt this week by !. H. Inch, for
a number of months employed in the
office of the A. G.. company's store,
of rotificat from the war depart
ment of Enelsnd that lis services are
demanded for the defense of the ma
ton. The telegram of notification
stated that Inch had been named a
lieutenant in the army of England
and would in this capacity begin his
services.
Accordingly Inch will leave on Sat.
urday, October "a, in response to the
call, and will be accompanied by C..
B. Rogers, also an employee of the
A. C.. company's store office, and
who has been companion of Inch
since their childhood in Edinburgh,
Scotland. Rogers was not notified by
his country to return, yet his belief
was that indications are that the
call for the second reserves, of the
country, to which he belonged, would
by the stress of war soon be coming,
and decided to volunteer that he
might make the long journey with his
companion. Both before coming to
America, men were members of the
military organization in England cor
responding to the state militia of our
country.
New York City will be reached about
October 31st, and from there passage
will be made to Liverpool, England, a
passage requiring about ten days.
From Liverpool the men believe they
will be sent to service, in Egypt,
where after proper training they will
be returned to tie war zone in
Europe, England's policy being to
bring her trained veterans from ter
ritorial possessions, and in place OF
the occupying army removed en-
ploying the less trained soldiers.
AS testimonial of the regard held
for the departing men, all the en-
ployees of the A. C.. company'S
store will on the evening of Friday,
October %, hold festival with the
two as honor guests, at the company's
hotel. A POSTMASTER has been sup
piled with a weighty list of speakers
who are already assigned subjects of
such wit and humor that the proceed
ings of the famous Gridiron Club, of
Washington, which serves to illustrate
the actions of national public men, will
be closely approached in enjoyment.
The menu of the feast is indicative of
the care bestowed by those of the en-
tertainers who constitute a committee
especially for this phase of the even
ing.

Huekstees Appreeisre .Proare.s--

For the first time in Morenci's
history, her hills and trails have been
invaded by Hucksters' wagons, the
owners of the vehicles quickly taking
advantage of the newly completed
street which traverses thickly settled
sections. This week saw two wagons,
loaded with fruits and poultry, grown
in the lower Cha valley, near Stafford,
driven before the housewives of the
many homes affected by the new way.

DEMOCRATS ARE UP In THE AIR

Judging from the remarks being
made by A. Nevin DIETRICH, chairman
of the Washington party State COM
mittee, the Chambersburger is very
much afraid that some one will walk
off with the remnants Of the party of
which he is the titular head. There
has been such a heavy movement
among Bull Moosers to return to their
former allegiance that the movement
inside of the Washington party to
name Brumbaugh for Governor has
scared the young Franklin countian.
A statement issued yesterday de-
clares that there is an effort under
way to take away what is left and q
frantic appeal is made for the Bull
Moosers to stand firm. Yesterday word
went out from the headquarters that
the Bull Moosers needed money to run
their campaign and needed it badly.

WE should not judge too harshly
M of the new Republican form
OF government in China be-
cause of q recent press dis,
patch setting forth details of the exc
cution of several violators of the new
opium regulation. Nobody unacquaint-
ed with present day conditions in that
country and the difficulty of blotting
out the opium curse is in position to
pass upon the manner of furnishing
those who refuse to be bound by the
mandates of President Yuan and the
national congress in their efforts TO
annihilate the drug scourge of the
nation.
Yuan Shih-kai is seriously deter
mined opium smoking shall cease to
be in China. Elaborate steps have
been taken to continue the empire
days" propaganda against opium, to
prohibit and suppress opium growing
and the use of the drug. In order to
make it perfectly clear that he is in
earnest, Yuan Shih-kai decreed that
deliberate violation of the anti-opium
laws should be punished by the ex-
treme capital penalty.
China, unfortunately, in earlier
times was afflicted by too great fa-
miliarity with the public executioner.
A certain not very considerable. but
still hurtful. proportion of the Chinese
populace has been taught through
generations to regard all punishments,
short of death, much as many of our
own gunmen in the big cities regard
all but the electric chair or hanging.
with the sangfroid of ignorance or de-
pravity.
Yuan Shih-kai and his representa-
tive council in Picking realize this.
Without exception every political and
social entity in China recognizes the
opium evil and lauds President Yuan
for his vigor in coping with it. And
they laud him the more because he
lives up to the letter of his DEGREES.
From quite reliable sources, 1t seems
that several executions have taken
place in several widely distant parts
of China-about four or five, to be
precise. VIII it not be worth while if,
through the decapitation of four or
five incorrigibles, President Yuan
shih-kai can save Chlna's 100000
900 men. women and children from
the awful curse of the opium habit;
and, like another Moses, lead his peo-
pie out of tho worst possible sort of
slavery?

HOUSING OUR GUESTS

THosE in charge of the State
firemen's convention here next
i Fall do well to lay their
plans now for the accommoda-
dation of visitors who are expected by
the thousand to attend the great gath
ering.
On ordinary occasions, with no big
meetings in town, 1t is not uncommon
to have all the hotels filed by $40
in the evening. We must have room
for the many who will be with us in
October. There is only one way to
make sure of this. Owners of private
residences must be prepared to throw
OPEN their homes to the strangers
In no other way can we hope to
properly house the citys guests or
that occasion.
