to stand true under FIRE, and fight
and work as they talk in Kansas.
The issue is clear, We should
stand by the President who has
stood by US. The people realize
and appreciate the accomplish
ments of the Wilson admsnistra-
ton" says Hon. VIM. j. Bryan
in the last issue of the Commoner.
They have been relieved of the
burdens of hagh tariff; they have
seen a part OF the of the load
lifted from the backs of the masses
and placed it upon large moons;
thew have witnessed a change in
the currency laws, which makes
Washington and not Wall Street
the hnuncial center of the country.
They have seen many things that
should meet the APPRECIATION of
ALL"
Let the approval be so emphat-
ic that President Wilson may not
only have an increased support,
but be given additional inspirs-
ton to go on and accomplish the
splendid program be bias mapped
out.

Stand by The President

The campaign is drawing to a
close. The battle of the ballots
will soon be over, and we will
then know t b g true estimate
placed by the country on the
accomplishments of the Wilson
administration.
The Democratic party has a
record of accomplishment of con-
structive legislation never before
equaled In the same length of
time. The United States is the
only first class power in the
world at peace both at home and
abroad, fully vindicating b e
Presidents policy OF "WatChful
Waiting"
In 1898 when the United States
was at war with Spain, and Pres
ident Mckinley presented his
patrsotic appeal to the country,
it responded by giving the great
est majority in the two houses of
Congrfss ever given a political
party up to that time, and if the
people believed it to be their pat
riotic duty to stand by President
Mckinley In time of war, how
much more readily should they
lay aside party considerations
and rally to the sopport of Pres
ident who has accomplished so
much more by his program of
peace.
There is no middle ground.
The President is either right or
he is wrong. If he is right, then
his administration is entitled to
the endorsement of every patriotic
man and woman without regard
to politics, and the voters of
Kansas should send to the Con-
gress of the United States men
who believe in the Wilson poll
cies, who may be depended upon

POLICE COURT. NEWS

In the police court Monday
morning several cases UP came
UP before Judge A H Hansen
and were disposed of in busi-
ness like manner. M Murritas.
a Mexican, figured in three eases
as plaintiff. r
The first case was that of A
Romero who was charged with
assauitson Murietas, and the de-
fendant, who, it seems, has been
mixed up in seveal cases pre-
vlously, was sentenced to 80 days
in the county Jail. This sentence
suspended, however, on the con-
dition that he leave the county
and remain away for a period of
one year. This Romero agreed
to do. Last December he left
because of the suspension of a
similar Sentence but failed to
stay away the full time.
Next the case of P E Rubi
charged with misdemeanor came
up to which he plead guilty and
was fined $25 90 which he
promptly paid.
The third case was that of
Teresa Valdez, a tarnished pig
con, who was charged with hav-
ing robbed Murrietas of $58 90.
The evidence in this was not suf-
ficient to convict the defendent3
but it was decided that she Wa
an undesirable and was given "a
hours in which to leave town.
She was admonished to remain
away at least a year.
C M Bledsoe was the edefen-
dent in the last case. He, was
charged with a misdemeanor and
was fined $50 90 by Judge Han
sen.
Antonio Lara was brought up
before Judge Hansen Wednesday
morning charged with mischief
and was fined $50 90. Lara is
employed as bartender in Rubi's
saloon.

ARIZONA TO BECOME

Gigantic Plan on Foot Whereby the Waters

messed and Made to Reclaim the
Arid Lands of the State

these draws, The shallow water
supply is very sensitive to the ir.
regularities in the rainfall and
fails entirely in some of the
wells during periods Of protract-
ed droughts.
According to the government
survey, underground water is
found all over the state. The re-
port is given by the government
engineers that there is an abun-
dance Of water in Arizona, but
being underground it must be
developed if obtainable. While
the expense in developing this
system will be enormous, the
benefit to the state generally, as
well as to the government, will
be so great that within a few
years it will have more than re-
paid in it's building.
The public has been aware that
Mr.. Cameron has been working
on some project that would be of
great benefit to the state, and
especially to Northern Arizona,
but until now the project has
never been fully understood.
With the undertaking fully fin
anced, the last barrier has. been
removed, and all that now re-
mains is forathe active. building
OF the dam to start. Mr.. Cam
eron has set no special time for
beginning this big work, but he
assures those who have been
watching and waiting forit that
it will be soon.
The project to be carried out
by Cameron and his associates is
greater than any project ever
proposed for Arizona and one of
the most magnificent conceptions
in the country. The dam will
be locatedin such place that it
can give the greatest possible re-
suits, and figuring it out from a
financial standpoint the returns
will be so great that the promo
ters can afford to sell the power
so cheap that every persoo, in
Arizona can afford to use it.

.FRATERNAL BROTHERHOOD
HOLDS SOCIAL SESSION

Over thirty-fve couples enjoy
ed the social session given by the
local lodge of the Fraternal
Brotherhood in the Maccabee hall
Tuesday night. While falling a
little short of being a financial
success, the affair was up to the
standard of the organization for
social success. Warm weather
is the only excuse that can be
given for the small attendance,
as the entertaining qualities of
the Fraternal Brotherhood are
too we'll known to permit any
other excuse appearing reason
able. A
After a short lodge session All
which Mrs. Anna Bourne, state
organizer for Arizona presided,
dancing, cards, and last but not
least, refreshments comprising
luscious strawberries and cream
and cake were served. Mrs.
Brayman furnished the music
for the dancing in her usual able
style. Whist was played with
the following results: For the.
ladies, Mrs. Noble won the first
prize, handapainted plate; Mrs.
L. Good second prize, a hand
painted bon bon dish; Mrs.sJ. G.
Way won the BOBBY prize, a
China tooth pick holder. For the
gents, &c. Way won the first
prize, a gold watch chain; w. P.
Vanderbeck, second prize, a Gig
ar and ash tray; while Mr.. Shin
dell was contented with a shay
ing mug, the BOBBY prize.
Neither time or expense was
spared by the committee in
charge to make the affair a most
enjoyable one. All who attend
ed had an enjoyable time; all
who did not attend missed a good
time. Let's hope for another
such affair in the near future;
also that same will enjoy a more
liberal patronage. @e7
