With the assembling of the re-
publican delegates in state con-
vention at Tucson on May 9Th,
they should bear constantly in
mind the fact that the only hope
of party success will largely de-
pend on the wisdom and judg-
ment manifested in the work of
these party representatives. To
go at the duty before them with
the idea in mind of Furnishing
somebody, or gratifying the sell
fish ambition of individuals, or
permit factions to dictate, spells
defeat before the race is even
started. Republicans all over
the state will have their eyes on
this assemblage, and it will re-
quire the best of craftsmanship
to steer the party free of the
shoals of strife and selfish inter-
ests that will surely wreck the
ship, out into the open sea of
confidence and faith in the ten
cts of the party. This is not the
year for chickering's and petty pol
itics. The rank and file of the
party want calm deliberate ac-
tion that will bring strength,
harmony and ultimate victory.

A New York police judge has
decided that poker playing is not
gambling unless there is a rake
off" going to the house. In a
few years some learned judge will
probably decide that burglary is
not burglary, except in such
cases where the burglar refuses
to divide his stealings with the
Court. Playing poker is gam
bling, and it makes no difference
whether it is played in a gam
bling house or in the parlors of
a private home, and fit is to be
regretted that society women are
getting to be the worst offenders.

Just SO long as Judge Sapp
sits on the bench as the Superior
Judge of Navajo county any eff
fort to suppress boot-legging is
a futile waste of time. Look at
the array of prisoners that have
been brought before him during
the past eight months, and each
one pleading guilty to the charge
preferred, and receiving as a
sentence a fine of S25 or $50.
What does a boot-legger care for
a fine of few dollars, when he
can go right out ano continue
selling whisky that costs him
81. 80 a gallon for S4 a quart!
The law provides that on convic-
ton for a violation of the pro-
hibition law the penalty shall be
a fine of not less than S25 nor
more than $500, or jail sentence
of not less than ten days nor more
than two years, but Judge Sapp
seems to have a tender regard
for the feelings of the booze ped
dlers, and he forgets to impose
jail sentences. Boot-leggers are
always loyal to their friends,
which may account for the
leniency being shown them by
our Superior Judge, who is more
interested in unloading worth
less library on the taxpayers
than he is in protecting the good
name OF the county, or enforcing
the laws of the state.

Just as the rumor is put in cir
culation that Villa is dead, comes
another rumor that Felix Diaz
will start a little Mexican rev.
olution of his own just to keep up
the excitement in that country
Felix has been loafng around the
United States for several months,
and has probably interested some
capitalists in his revolution
scheme, with an understanding
that if he wins out, a goodly
portion of the stealings will fall
in the Golfers of his financiers.

The big smoke Of a court mar
tial in the case of Capt. Gully, of
the Phoenix company, has clear
ed away. The court rendered a
verdict that the Captain be dis
honorably discharged, but the
Governor, with more sense and
judgment than the court, amend
ed the verdict by giving Mr.. Gull
ly an honorable discharge from
the service. If the Governor
will now give Adjutant Harris
an honorable discharge from the
service, and appoint a man broad
enough to restore harmony and
efficiency, the Arizona national
guard will again take its place as
an ideal citizenry soldier organi-
zation.

MICHIGAN MAN
WILL SPEAK

Congressman Joseph Frodney
Will Speak in ParkerSburg
October g.

PARKERSBURG, Sept 27.-The
first speechmaking of this years
campaign in this city will be on the
night of October .. when Representa-
tive Joseph Frodney, of Michigan,
will discuss the candidates and cam
paign issues for the Republican side
Of the political household. Prepare
ton on large scale are being made
with enthusiasm by the local Repub-
licans rs they consider that they
have been highly favored in getting
Mr. Fordney to open the campaign
for them. This will be the only
speech that he will make in this
state.
Congressman Fordney is one Of
the ablest leaders Of his party IN
the House, and has earned de-
served national reputation as legis-
lator, especially one well versed in
tariff matters, and as political ora
tor who is both forceful and mag
netic. He is ranking member of
the committee on ways and means,
and, in the event of his party secur-
ing control Of that branch OF the
next Congress, will be made the
chairman Of that highly important
and influential committee.
The coming Of Fordney to Park
ersburg has aroused an interest and
started an activity among Republi-
cans here which has been comments
ed on with pleasure by the chairmen
Of the local committees OF the Re-
publican party. In that connection,
they say that the party has not been
in better condition 10 enter cam

larger figures holding true usually.

ROBINSON is STRONG

part in electing the Republican state
ticket in November according to w.

said Mr.. Belcher. and knowing near

position to tell the way the political
wind is blowing. l am the nominee
for sheriff and as such have been bus
lily engaged in campaigning.
1T Is my sincere belief that Judge
Robinson VIII carry the county by
400. We gave General Lilly a fine
vote for governor in the primary, but
we are the real kind of Republicans
In Wyoming and just as soon as the
general withdrew from his contest,
we lined up for the nominee and will
aid in electing him.
"rhe people of Wyoming are not
at all satisfied with the national ad-
ministration and Justice Hughes will
receive many Democratic votes this
fall. The attitude of the president
when the railroad brotherhoods made
their threats is not at all pleasing.

MERELY A MYTH
is THAT PROMISE
Democrats So SoIemnly Made
to Reduce the Hight Cost
of Living.

WASHINGTON. September a..
Reduction in the high cost OF living,
as promised in the Democratic plat
form OF 1872, is myth, declared
Representative Julius Kahn, Of Call
fornia, ranking minority member OF
tho House military affairs commit
tee, In statement given out here
today.
In 1912 the Democratic party
promised the people of the United
States to reduce the high cost Of
living" said Mr.. Kahn They fulfni-
mated against the protective tariff
and blamed the latter for contribu;-
Ing to the increase Of prices for food
products Of all kinds. This is the
plank Of that platform:
The high costs Of living Is a
serious problem in every American
nome. The. Republican party. in its
platform, attempts to escape from
responsibility for present conditions
by denying that they are due to a
protective tariff We take issue with
them on this subject, and charge that
excessive prices result in large
measure from the high tariff laws
enacted and maintained by the Re
publican party and from trusts and
commercial conspiraces fostered and
encouraged by such laws, and we
assert that no substantial relief can
be secured for the people without i'm
port duties on the necessaries of life
are materially reduced and these
criminal cOnsDiracics broken up.
Like many another plank it
seems to have been inserted in tho
platform in the nature Of 'molasses
to catch flies
Instead Of reducing the price Of
living under this Democratic admin
istration the cost OF food products
has constantly increased. Uncle Sam
himself feels the pinch. He is the
greatest purchaser of commodities In
the United States. He can buy
cheaper than anybody else because
he buys In such large quantities. In
1913 Mt the time the Democrats took
possession OF the country and prom
iscd to reduce the cost of living he
was paying twenty-three cents n day
per ration for every enlisted man
in the limited States army. That
was the cost Of the army ration at
that time. The ration itself has not
been changed for about eight years.
The same articles Of food that were
given the soldiers in 1909 are sup
piled to them today. Acting Quar-
termaster General II. G. Sharpe. who
testified before the committee on
military affairs last March, said that

WHY WOMEN
write LETTERS
To Lydia E. Pinkham Medi,
cine Co.

Women who are well often ask care
the letters which the Lydia +. Pinkham
Medicine Gu are continually publishing,
genuine?" Are they truthful"
"Why do women write such letters I"
In answer we say that never have we
published a fictitious letter or name.
Never, knowingly, have we published
an untruthful letter, or one without the
full and written consent of the woman
who wrote it.
The reason that thousands of women
from all parts of the country write such
grateful letters to the Lydia Z. Pink
ham Medicine Co. is that Lydia E. Pink
ham $ Vegetable Compound has brought
health and happiness into their lives,
once burdencd with pain and suffering.
1t has relieved women from some of
the worst forms of female ills, from dis
placements, inflammation, liberation,
irregularities, nervousness, weakness,
stomach troubles and from the blues.

The value of a silo on a farm can
not be overestimated. The dairy farm
er who has been unable to see the
value Of the silo in connection with
his dairy farm is generally looked
upon as an unprogressive farmer. Es-
pecially in the winter does the value
of the silo become apparent as it is
possible at all times to feed green
fodder to the milk COWS and thereby
preserve both the quantity and quality
of the milk product. With the use of
the silo the farmer is enabled to save
the shucks, the fodder, the corn stalks
and the ears, and to keep up summer
feeding throughout the winter without
break.
Mr.. Wood built round stave silo,
Cotton capacity, on concrete founda-
ton at a total cost of $116.35. 1t cost
$2.O5 per ton to grow the corn and
put the silage in the silo. This silo
was built according to the plans and
specifications and under the personal
supervision of Mr.. L. A. Higgins of the
