BORN TO COUNT Chill
DREN OF SCHOOL AGE
lFrom Sundays DAILY

For the thirteenN consecutive
year Charles Born has been ap-
pointed school census marshal OF
this district by the Prescott board
OF school trustees. and enters upon
his annual roundup" next Monday
morning.
The duties OF the office are not
generally understood. many enter
tanning the impression that only
children of school age are necessary
for enumeration. Such, however.
is not the case. By the State law,
funds are apportioned to the various
counties according to the number Of
people so enumerated, between the
ages OF six and twenty years, inclu-
sive, regardless OF the fact that
they may not have attended school
for years. or are married, divorced
or are mothers of children of their
own. so long as they have not yet
reached their twenty-first year on
February l.
Mr.. Born states that the principal
difficulty in his official duties is
that many do not understand the
purpose of the enumeration, taking
it for granted that it implies an
added tax and the people try to put
one over OF the enumerator by
Withholding the information desired.
This method, however, meets with
slight success, as this persistent emu
nerator is SO fully conversant with
his duties that he has kept watch
full eye on the situation, not to men
those who should be listed when the
ton the many cradles in the many
homes that are sending forth yearly

DEATH REEVES MEMO
RIES OF MAN-HUNT
(From SATURDAYS Daily.)

Memories of the Vulture tragedy
foyer a quarter of a century ago
have been revived by the receipt
OF information of the death in
Sonora. aboHt--eHe-- month ago, of
one of the principals in the sad
fate that overlook Superintendent
Gribbell on the desert when the
latter and his two guards were at
tackled and killed by two Mexican
bandits.
At the time Gribbell was taking
to Phoenix from the Vulture mine
single bar of gold bullion valued
at over $4,000. When a ravine
near Niger Wells on the desert
was reached the party was attacked
from ambush and killed outright.
The bullion was taken from the
blackboard and the two Mexicans left
for the mountains adjacent. The
bar was then sawed in two and
the men scattered.
The following day the news was
given publicity, when one of the
greatest man hunts in the country
started, in which the sheriffS of five
counties got into action. and scores
of volunteers entered the chase
Several days later one of the muir
derers was intercepted while making
his way across the ella river west
OF Phoenix and was shot and killed.
The bullion he carried on his ami
NAL was recovered and gave the
FIRST intimation of how the gold
had been parceled out. The identity
of the dead Mexican connected up a
certain companion with whom he
had been seen for a few days before
in the Vulture camp, who was bald
headed and had worked on the range
a short time before for John White
of Peoples valley. He was found to
be missing and a vigorous search
was made for him, but without sue
cess.
According to the advices received
in this city in the past few days
he is the one who had made his
way into Sonora later, without being
intercepted, and died during the
early part of January near Altar.
that State. He made a confession
of the crime, also stating that the
bullion was taken from its cache
nearly two years later when he
again retraced his steps over the line
and had remained there steadily
since. The news comes from Nogales
to a Mexican resident of this sec
ton.

An Arizona Confessional.

We have heard much from
George Washington p. Hunt. A. \.
Worsley, Reese Ling. Ralph Gamer
on and others, as to their qualid-
cations for gubernatorial hohors.
Perhaps. it is to be expected that
one should speak eharitablY OF ones
self. Introspection inadvertently re-
veals big or little shortcomings
which are best hatboted in the skele-
ton closet But might not much
good result if political possibilities
came right out and handed them
selves few Christening wallops. It
surely would be edifying for the
public and create the impression that
Arizona's public men are unafraid
to combine some frankness with
self-exploitation.
William Allen White, journalist
and author, has adopted this course
in Kansas. The Progressives in his
home State would make him their
candidate for Governor. He will
have none OF it. He would like to
be Governor but he knows that he
is not fitted for the position. Office
holding is not in his line and he is
courageous enough TO admit the
fact Here is how he describes him
self in his own Emporia Gazette:
an the words OF the poet, nix On
Willyum Allen. The Gazette's nose
is hard and cold on the proposition
to make him Governor. He is I
four-flusher, ring tailed, rip-snort-
ing hell-raiser, and grsndstander.
He makes big noise. He yips
and Noodles around great dea..
but he is everlastingly and pre- emf
nently y. G. as gubernatorial timber
full OF knots, warts, woodpeck-
er holes and rotten spots"
Pretty tough on Willyum Allen
as 4 recognized lieutenant of the
Progressive party, but he says it
OF himselfi Anyone who said worse
things about him would surely quail
lily for libel suit or shooting.
We do not suggest to George Wash
ington P. Hunt to come forth with
the announcement that he is -four
flusher. everlastingly and pre-emi-
nently n. G. as gubernatorial tim
ber," etc. Far be it from US TO
advise Mr.. Worsley 10 claim any
distinction as "hell raiser; or Mr.
Cameron to confess that he is "full
OF rotten spots" Too many peo-
pie are prone to believe all they
hear nd although William Allen
White takes this risk. we do not
want to be understood as counseling
our Arizona politicians to. lift the
lid entirely off their Individual
whimsicalities or weaknesses.
They undoubtedly could furnish
surprises to the public, and the pub
lie is ever-ready to condone those
who are contrite. But We want 10

Hunt, ct al, might be indiscreet in

The Senatorial Fight.


The Honorable Eugene w. Chaffin
arch-enemy OF fire water and per
petual candidate, has added to the
gaiety OF nations. Mr.. Chaffin is
going to be in the race for the
United States Senate to succeed
Marcus A. Smith this fall He ism t
going to run on the prohibition
ticket, either. He is going to he
an independent candidate.
Those familiar with local political
conditions in Arizona will immedi-
ately recognize that the candidacy
OF Chain is going to be no joke.
The women will vote this year and
that he will count largely on their
support is seli-evident. lie has
long been an ardent advocate Of
women's rights. He favored equal
Suffrage before it was adopted in
any State outside OF Colorado.
While ne will have the opposition
OF the liquor interests, he expects
this and counts on the support Of
the women to far outweigh it. He
is an advocate OF national prohibit
ton. He believes in prohibiting
the manufacture of intoxicating IL
quors.
On the other hand Senator Smith
has always been an opponent OF
woman's suffrage and has never an
tagonized the liquor interests He
has refused to pledge himself as "a
voring the resolution for suffrage
amendment TO the constitution.
1t begins to look as if Mark
Smith would have the fight of his
life on his hands this fall. In the
first place he will have to contend
with Eugene s. Ives for the Demo-
cratic nomination. While Senator
Ives has not announced his candi-
dacy, his friends regard it as certain
that he will be found in the fight.
If contrary to belief, Smith gets the
Democratic nomination he will prob
ably be confronted not only by
Chaffin, who is an unknown quantity,
likely to upset all calculations. but
also with a candidate on whom Re-
publican and Progressives have
united, for it now seems certain
that they will be able to agree on
Joseph II. Kibbey, former governor
of Arizona, unless Dwight B. Heard
succeeds in running away with the
Progressive party. Kibbey can
command the support of the Re
publicans. but Heard cannot.
The Democrats themselves are
pretty badly Disguised with Smith
and would vote for almost any
other candidate, regardless OF his
politics, to throw Smith overheard.
The self-styled champion OF the
"old guard" Smith utterly ignored
his oId-time friends in making Fed
eral appointments but chose men
recommended by 4 newspaper in
Phoenix which would not even print
his name on the ticket in the 1911
election. This bid for the support
of the Hunt machine wiped out
