 sessed of a wide acquaintance with ' conditions, acquired in ove' thirty years residence in the west, he is recu- liarly well fitted to represent Arizona in the senate.
 A native of Denmark, the fatherland of Jacob A. Riis, and many other em. inent American citizens, J. B. Nelson received his early education in the schools of Copenhagen, where he was born in 1870. At the age of thirteen he
 came to America, alone and frierdless, stranger in a strange land. Having
 heard of the west and it's magnificent opportunities, young Nelson came to
 Utah. locating at Monroe. Sevier coun- ty. Here he was joined four years la
 ter by his mother, his father having died in Denmark from the effects of
 wound received in the Franco Piusslan war.
 After working on the cattle ranges
 and in the mines in Utah for six years,
 he removed to Nevada, where he en-
 gagged in the cattle business A short
 time afterwards, he returned to Utah,
 and entered the academy at Provo. graduating in the class of 1893 During
 the next three years he was engaged in teaching in the schools of Utan ard in
 1896 came to Arizona, locating near
 Mesa, where his activities were divid-
 ed between ranch work and teaching. Dr. Nelson received his professional training in St. Louis university, grad uating from that institution in 1904 with the degree of M. D. The next three years were spent in practice in Utah, and in 1907 he returned to Arizona, locating at Mesa, where he has built up large and very successful prac- tice as one of the county's leading phy- sicians and surgeons.
 Because of his thorough first-hand
 knowledge of the west, gained in resi- dence in Utah, Nevada, Colorado and Arizona, pr. Nelson is exceptionally well fitted for the position for which his name has been proposed. An active
 worker in politics, he has never been an | office-seeker. and although the oppor-
 tunity for political preferment has not been lacking, he has been contented to serve in the ranks. Staunch repub- | lican until the birth of the progressive | party in 1912, he has always shown himself leader in thought and action, and devoted worker for the cause of industrial and social justice.

 Outside of his political affiliations, no person in Arizona stands higher in no person in Arizona stands hgher in the estimation of his fellow citizens, from a business and a legal stand point, than George U. Young.
 Captain J. L. B. Alexander
 Ii is hardly necessary to tell Arl- zonians who Captain Alexander is. Lawyers say that he is the most ener- getic and best United States attorney ever assigned to this district Captain Alexander must be given the entire credit for the success he has attained in fife for his career has been one of hard work and unaided achievement. He was born in Los Angeles county, California and he was educated in the public schools of Los Angeles After that he spent some time at the Univer- sty of California. He came to Yuma in 1876 and some years later, to Phoenix. His boyhood in California was spent in various occupations. He worked on farm. was a cowboy on a cattle ranch and a clerk in store.
 After coming to Phoenix, though qualified for admission to the bar, he did not apply for admission but de voted himself to various enterprises in which he was quite successful. among them was the promotion of the sewer system of Phoenix. He was admitted to the bar in 1896 on the death of his father, Judge H. N. Alexander and since then he has been steadily en- gagged in the practice of the law with increasing success until he has long since been recognized as one of the foremost members of the state bar.
 At the outbreak of the Spanish American war he joined the organiza- ton of Rough Riders and was made captain of one of the companies from Arizona. It was during this service that he was brought to the attention of Colonel Roosevelt who soon after suc- ceeding to the presidency. appointed Captain Alexander United States at torney for Arizona which office he held for four years and half The United States statutes and the interests of the government within the territory were

furthering the construction of the Senta Fe, Prescott & Phoenix rail- read. For some time he was a fire man and engineer on the Santa Fe Pacific railway. Later ne was elect el principal of the schools of Will Hams, and still retaining his position upon the railroad he acquired the ownership of the Williams News. He was also associated with Captain William ("Buckey") O'Neil in the promotion of the Grand Canyon rail road. O'Neil's death in Cuba left the entire respon sit!!ity of the west ern interests in the proposition upon MT. Young, and it was through his efforts and sacrifices that the rail- road was built.
 Since 1903 he has been actively en- gagged in mining and has done much towards the development of this one of Arizona's resources His success ir the development of the Goldfield property after it had been practically abandoned is Arizona mining his- tory.
 + ' As secretary of state while Richard .E. Sloan was governor, MT Young made an enviable reputation. Until the organization of the progressive party he was a republican but the principles of industrial and social jus tice, adopted as the basis of the new party, appealed to him as those prin- ciples he had been endeavoring for years to promulgate and he became among the first to identify himself with the new political organization.
 AS mayor of Phoenix he has stood for what he has thought best for the municipality. He has preached econ omy. He has stood for his princi- ples in the face of criticism and when it seemed a break was coming between himself and the members of the city commission he has been enabled by his own initiative to con- vince his colleagues in the city ad- ministration of his sincerity, his wis dom and his honest desire for i'm proved city government and they falling in line with him and his aims. are now falling in line with him and

ACTRESS STARTS SANDAL CRAZE

Mile Provost, the well known actress of the Comedie Franchise, has started a new fashion in footwear by appearing in Parisian salons and in the corridors of the theaters with her feet bare but for sandals.
 When asked whether the latest craze would not lead to crisis in the boot trade, Mile. Provost smiled and replied: T do not think so; my bootmaker fur nishes less material, but I do not see any reduction in the price charged.
 Further, my sandals are fastened with ribbons ornamented with emeralds and turquoises. I do not think the jewellers either will have any cause for complaint" Prom the London Chron- icle

High Toned Edi- torials and Low
 Toned Ads.

Many newspaper publishers refuse to divest themselves of the fallacy that acting as common carriers they can not be held respon- sible for dishonest advertising carried in their columns. But what irony is presented by the juxtaposition of a beautifully express ed and nobly in- spired declaration of editorial faith in truth and virtue to an eloquent exposi- tion on the charac- ter of a pill which will cure every complaint to which mortal flesh is heir. To assume all the sweetness and light for ones own guidance and to permit the ex- ploitation of nefar- ious quackery on the next page does not strike some publishers as an act of stultifica- tiOn."
