following statement:
Since my return from South Am erica
have received hundreds OF kilograms
and letters from all over the country
requesting statements from me on the
political situation. 1t has been ut
terly impossible to reply to these COM
munications. first, because OF lack of
time. and second. because II must be
remembered that l have been out OF the
country for nearly eight months, and
have been home only ten days, and
therefore have not been able to acquire
the necessary Information that Will en-
able me to respond intelligently to
many or the inquiries made Of me-

which have contended, and for tho
men throughout the country who have
stood SO valIantly In the fight that the
Progressive party is waging and has

WIDESPREAD APPREHENSION
EXISTS AMONG PEOPLE
There Is widespread apprehension
among our people. Tho pinch of
poverty Is felt in many household.
We cannot ignore the conditions which
have brought about this state of things.
Tho cost OF living has not been re-
duccd. Not the slightest progress has
boon made In solving the trust cues
ton. 1t has been shown that the re-
duction of the tariff in no shape or way
holps toward tho solution.
The economic conditions are such
that business is In jeopardy and that
and the Industrial wageworkcr are
all suffering because of these condi-
tons. Tho truth simply Is that the
only wise and sane propositions, the
only propositions which represent a
constructive governmental program,
and the resolute purpose to secure good
results instead OF fine phrases were the
principles cnunciated in the Progress
sive platform. In connection with the
trusts and the tariff alike our policies
would have secured tho passing around
of prosperity, and also the existence
OF sufficient amount OF prosperity to
be passed around. Throughout the
country. all can do to emphasize these

edness. thereby relieving the taxpay- CT of an additional burden in the way of a 2 per cent interest which was made necessary in fIoaGna the war rants.
 The repor further goes into detail in connection with duplicate assess menJ roll for the year 1913, and shows that the amount of taxes collectable as charged on the rolls was S1O49.- l93.84, while the additions ordered by the supervisors amounted to $2,27342. making the grand total amount of taxes foot up S1,O51,46726, the largest amount collected by any one county in the state
 The total number of assessments re- corded on the rolls during 1913 to- tailed 7543. or an increase of 8l5 as- easements over the year 1912.
 Operating Expenses Less.
 One of the principal features of the entire report is that the expenditures Tor the year 1918 show a decrease over the year 1912 to the amount of S33333.80 not including the expendi lures had during the past year on the county roads and public schools. which departments are provided for by a special tax levy
 Other information.
 A very elaborate report is also had on the condition of the schools of the county, and reveals the following in teresdng data:
 There are sNtyuve school districts throughout the county.
 The number of pupils enrolled in the schools during 1913 were 694Z
 The average daily attendance for 1913 was 4469.5O
 The total value of all school prop erty for 1913 was S347lS.
 Total expenditures for all school dis tricts during 1913 amounted to sl7S,- 32476.
 Number of teachers employed in the common schools for 1913 were ITS.
 There were four high schools in 1913, the same being located at Tomb stone, Bisbee, Douglas and Wilcox, while the number of teachers em ployed were 23.
 Taken in its entirely, the report could be no more comprehensive, and speaks we'll for the manner in which the office of the board of supervisors has been conducted during the pres. ent administration

GOVERNOR HUNTS RETIREMENT.

one of the most fanciful Of recent political rumors has it that Governor Hunt will make effort secure
 renomnaton devoting his attention instead of winning
 the United states Senate If newspaper read CTS and crackerbox oracles win pause think they will recall that Governor Hunt has neither authorized the announcement that seeks reelection wishes his presented as a candidate for the Senate It s therefore fair to assume that the thoughts uppermost in Governor Hunts mind at present have to do with retirement from public life If this his decision now. and if he abides by it, he is to be congratulated
 As an experiment George w. P. Hunt was justified. Voters who contributed the experiment if they acted in good faith were justified in supporting him He dis played qualities in private life which suggested that he might be successful public servant These esmabe qualities did develop useful in public affairs As executive, Governor Hunt is failure and such should not be perpetuated. If his friends more zealous than discreet. he should be saved from his friends The sincerity of this friendship is impugncd when it attempts to asen upon him rdicule which would result from any attempt to send him to Wash ington
 Although there is little support the analogy Gov emor Hunts somehow brings to mind that of Governor Blease. South Carolina Democrats have held their primary election and chosen an ant-BIease dele gaton to the State convention South Carolina is to be Congratulated So the country large Since Blease thrust himself into the meigh the most conspicuous exponent of political rowdysm he has kept thoughtful South Carolinaus in a state Of chronic Humiliation. Blease and his wholesale pardoning of convcts were much worse than Hunt and his soppy sentimental prison policies Blease consigned the constitution Of the United States hell and invited those who opposed him to follow the constitution. Hunt merely ignored the con stituton of Arizona which calls the enactment of capital punishment Blease has endeared himself to the redneck element of his State by his bad manners mpudence buster and violence toward that class of citizens whose uecks red and who also commit the sin of wearing clean shirts and thinking clean thoughts Not content with shamng his State, he now seeks to speak for the United States Senator His defeat by the party leaders in South Carolina gives ground hope that he will achieve this ambition
 Governor Hunt may compare with Governor Bease in his enjoyment publicity but he has to the extreme to secure t which made the of the South Carolina executive a by-word throughout the land In view of Che fact Governor Hunt has signied up to this time any intention of continuing executive or of measuring himself for Senatorial toga. the good sense displayed by in sharp contrast to the efforts Of Governor Blease thrust himself into places where he is not wanted.

STOPPING THE FIGHT.

It too much to expect that fighting would cease in Mexico between Federals Consuutonalists while this country engaged in mediatory proceedings It would hardly fair the Constutonalists to call
 halt and lose the advantage which attends the flush of trlumphs
 Mir. Carranza declines to an amistice with Mir Huerta. He could not do so if he wished, as one Mr. Villa has no intention to quit fighting just now when the chances are all with him. And why should he stop?
 He has fought his way from the north boundary down through tbe fat broad part of the Mexican leg t shows on the map until he is about at the knee He certainly owes no concession Huerta and would be foolish to merely grant him time recoup bis fallen fortunes and renew his supply of arms
 Every foot of ground added Constituonalist terri tory puts them in just much better position to de- mand full consideration from the mediators when Che final settlement comes. Besides which, they know that instead Of having United States fear Che admins trauon s friendly to them.
