A -chanoed pemooratic Attitude

The Roosevelt Bogy" is the title of an editorial which lately appeared in the Rochester N Y Democrat -Cbronicle. Its appearance there is much more significant than if had been printed in almost any other republican paper in the country The Democrat Chronicle is among the abIest and foremost reaconary republican papers in this coun try. It has been especially bitter against Colonel Roosevelt and progressvesm but it is inclined to warm to him as an instrument for the chastse- ment of the democrats Says the Democrat Chroncle
 Democratic newspapers continue to add to the gayety of the joyous holiday, season by their vain efforts their trepidation over the possi bity that the colonel may have some political dynamite concealed somewhere about his person ready to be set off when will be most likely to jar Mr. Wilson the political pedestal"
 The attitude Democrats now the Demo- crat-Chroncle notes is in marked contrast to that they assumed early in the fall toward Colonel Roosevelt, when they regarded as the candidate of the progressive party Tn the next campaign Then they were disposed to pat him the back who had his eccentIicties but who on the whole, meant well. From any point view he manifestly superior to the republicans who sunk in depravity steeped in iniquity and Democrat Chronicle:
 colonel has become monster of maIevolcnce and depravity; plotting undermine the good work done by the administration Republicans are tioned that they will surely be contaminated they hold communication with him is not strange says the virtuous Buffalo Courier that under the circumstances and recollec of 1912 still vivid and fresh there regular repub- licans who make effort conceal their feelings

Makers of Poisoned "Whiskexy

Almost everything in this world may be seen than point view. Our contem- porary, the Douglas Dispatch regards the lowest of criminals those who make 'whtskey" wood denatured alcohol and sell it to the people who by buying it encourage the violation prohi- btion amendment. That such "whiskey' produces death or blindness is regarded by the Dispatch as proof nefariousness of the industry Within few days several deaths have followed the drinking of such 'whiskey" in Bisbee and Douglas. In Phoenix within the last three months there have been more chan dozen deaths and least two cases of blindness drinking connections of this 
 But there is another way of looking it; the who buy and drink this stuff are assisting in the violation of the prohibition law; they are en- cousaging it's continued violation The mere fatal ilies there are the these and all intoxicating drinks will come be regarded poisons they will be summed. the men who thus die laying down their lives others. though it be said that they inspired by that degree love which it has been said, greater love hath than this that he lay down his life for a friend" must for get that the makers and sellers of this vile stuff contributing in their humble and unintentionaI to inspire proper respect for our prohibition legislation.
 There is still something more to be said in favor of this poisoned whiskey and it's makers. The man who buys and drinks gets quick action on his money to phrase of speculative gentlemen. He does not have drag through years of misery and disgrace and rags poverty to reach his goal, the drunEards grave. He may beat wife abuse his children once. but not more than once, eor after that he will be dead harmlessly blind.
 A resident of the commonwealth of Kentucky once gave utterance to the eptgram, All whiakey is good but brands better than others" We believe that ali whiskey is bad. but poisoned whis- key is better. rather, is nearly good, than those kinds which lead jnsidiously, first, pleasantly and, finally miserably to the distant grave of the drunkard
 We would go SO to say that the men who compound wood alcohol with fusel oil and Hcorice juice benefactors. Do think for moment that that is what mean. But there are others who make and vend whslsey Iegitrnately who not benefactors. and the stuff they sell is the milk of human kindness.

Billy Sunday

The approval by Cardinal Gibbons of the Billy Sunday campaign in Baltimore and his endorsement of Many truths taught by Sunday but overlooked by many modern preachers" marks a long step the religious tolerance in this country. The endorsement of the cardinal may seem the remarkable since Sunday has not che approval of all evangelical clersymen who same things he teaches, though they persist teaching them dwindIing congregations a different way.
 Only lately Rev. pr. Aked of Francisco nounced in if not uncerical, certainly uncharitable words the language and the mannerisms of Sunday. and he rather the question his sincerity. Early in Sundays ministry few preachers lent their approval of his style of spreading the gospel. It they thought, almost if quite, sacregious. But the results of his mnistration have been so great in practical good that a very large majority of the clergy welcome his assistance in the vineyard. Not long ago a question of inviting Sunday q large eastern city only two ministers of the gospel raised their voices in opposition
 The objection raised O Sundays min istry that the good produced by not permanent There is however no proof that that so that the results more evanescent than those which generally follow great religious awaken ings, when many persons enjoy for a short time religious exaItation. Sundays converts, believe, have generally felt this spiritual exaltation they have rather yeded the punch" that he has thrown into his exhortatons.
 They have quit at least, their more outbreaking sins and in every city the effect has been greater than has been indicated by the number of professed conversions. The effect has been especially felt in the saloon trade Undoubtedly thousands have entered better of living for having heard the former baseball expert who appeals alike to all classes Of men, for he is mans preacher.

The Expedition to Ajo

The Tucson Citizen thus refers to a Phoenix pedition which returned the city Wednesday night: Lest forget, the Rotary Club of Phoenix has committee of twelve discoverers study the trade situation of the town of Cor neIia in the Ajo district" The business men of Tucson began studying that situation before there any of Cornelta. They began, indeed, soon as the rumor shape that the Calumet x Arizona Mining company about acquire extensive property in the Ajo district and Tucson, with usual promptness in such matters, has raised fund have been told, of $1O0.O0O Tucson with that trade situation. Tucson lies under some disadvantage of distance and some difficulty of topography but the forward merchants of Tucson are not going to let such little things these lie in their way when there is a rich prize at the other end. It therefore going to be race between Phoenix and Tucson. the latter scratch man, which will be the first across the tape at Aio.
 We are glad learn that the committee which from Phoenix found the camp worth while and that it recommends early trade excursion by the merchants of this city the camp New Comea, which we believe and have predicted for some months, will become one of the popuIous mining camps the west. There perhaps other in Arizona surrounded by such extensive body as that which lies only within the holdings Of the Calumet x Arizona, but throughout that great district
 We will have to have, however. something more than a trade excursion to the New Corneia mines An essential is a good road, and that what Tucson is after first. once good road is secured which goods he dispatched promptly. meTciaI relations be quickly established whether friendly and fratcrnaI relations have been previously established.
 The trade excursion of course, will be good thing; less, though for the purpose of convincing the people of Ajo that it is to their advantage to trade i Phoenix than it is show the merchants of Phoenix that it is their advantage go after the Ajo trade. They be shown also how easy it will be to a road to Ajo by the construction of a thirty mile link between Arlington and Gila Bend Then there will be outlet new mining camp for only the merchandise of Phoenix but for the hay grain poultry, fruits etc. of the valley which, by the way are products which Tucson cannot yet supply in large quantities

 Clearances-The week ending De- cember 1, 1915. checks for S4,9S6. O0O 900 passed through the countrys clearing houses - the largest amount ever handled in one weeks time
 Gold - MT. Robert M. Woolley, di- rector of the mint goes on record with the statement that the United States now has one-fourth of all the coined gold-the worlds standard of value a phenomenal condition.
 The Home Market-The freight car shortage points an unmistakable fin ger to the enormous increase in the demand of the Home Market as well as shipments to the war countries.

 NO matter NHtIt you lbbN- you W III find something to verify this good times message
 The big things for you to remember are:
 That Prosperity is not a mirage a glorious prospect in the offing-it is an established fact-it's here
 That in large measure the good times are not related to the needs and emergencies of European nations.
 That AmeriCa is becoming more and more elf-supportine.

 If this be selfishness-lets have more of it.
