that in mind. the restoration of the country's confidence in Arizona. In the five years of statehood we have had but little growth of population. Not a mile of railroad has been built except on the line from Gila Bend to Ajo, and that was necessary to the operations of the Calumet X Arizona Mining company. It is mining rail- road. Whether justly or not, Arizona is in ill-repute among men who control capital, and this reputation can be changed only by a change of political complexion. The substitution of the control of one democratic faction for that of another democratic faction would give the state no better stand ing abroad. A republican victory would accomplish that. A republican victory would not be the end; only the means.

FINANCES and MARKETS

NEW YORK, August 11.-(Wall StreeD-The course of prices in to- days trading indicated rather plainly the uncertainty and confusion preva- lent in speculative circles. Opening prices were firm to strong, these glv- ing way to general recessions, and points of weakness before midday. Later the movement became more lr-. regular rails as well as specialties often pursuing opposite directions.
 Reading, again the market leader, imparted strength to the entire list Tn the final hour when it recovered from it's early heaviness and advanced three points to l03.
 Among specialties General Motors was the outstanding feature, supple menting yesterdays gain of 25 points with an additional fifty on reports of another large prospective dividend.
 Equipment and intuition issues were visibly strengthened by the remark able annual earnings of American Lo- comotive which showed a five-fold in- crease over the preceding year. U. s. Steel varied only fractionally and closed with slight advance, but Bethlehem Steel gained 13 points, with ! a moderate advance in Crucible Steel. | Coppers were more firm, but made | little headway, despite the enormous foreign demand for the refined metal | Total sales of stocks amounted to 345,- | 900 shares

TEMPE POLICEMAN KIDNAPPED

Tempe has splendid force of peace officers but it has come to light that one of them was forcibly kid mapped night before last, brought to Mesa and unceremoniously dumped in- to the middle of the street near the South Side hospital, where the unfor- tunate guardian of the law was found yesterday morning unconscious of all passing events. Digging into the mys- tery, the following seems to be as near the truth as can be ascertained. Some one or more motorists from the dry(D town of Phoenix were coming through Tempe at certain wee small hour of the night and under the witchery of the silvery moon and the fluid extract oi personal use, ran over the traffic cop located at the corner of Eighth and Main. Incensed at the refusal of the officer to get out of the way. the driver got out, tossed the policeman into the car and finally left the re- mains at the place above stated It was some hefty lift on the part of the supposedly hilarious law-breaker. for { the cement policeman is no light ' weight Rumor further hath it that | the offender is now about a thousand
 miles from Mesa. Tempe may secure | it's property by describing same and l paying for this notice.

]. Ham 10 the Rescue

Our old pink -whiskered friend. J. Ham. came forward again on Thurs day in the role of explainer and elab- orator of the meaning of President Wilson's now famous expression, We are too proud to fight" It may seem strange that the president. whose command of good English, whose clarity of expression have elicited the admiration of scholars, was unable to convey the full meaning of that oracu- lar utterance; that he should not have done so in the more than a year that has elapsed since, and that the task should be assumed at this late day by J. Ham, who is not distinguished for mouths of babes and sucklings," etc.
 We know now what the president was driving at. According to J. Ham. if the president had finished what he started we would have understood that The expression, to proud to fight, | used at Philadelphia by the president
 to an audience of courageous. Christ | ian people. was the adaptation of an | old quotation from the classics-an- cient as the scriptures It's meaning | is known to be that brave people, | filled with the consciousness of their | right and conscious of their superior | strength, were too proud to fight | where a concession of what was right | would bring justice to all The presi- l dent presumed on the intelligence Of l his audience to understand.
 Thus we see that the president was
 not as foolish and as much of a jelly fish as we were led to understand
 from his unconcluded remarks. But in
 relieving us of that impression J. Ham
 convicts the president of plagiarism
 the making use. without proper credit
 of an "old quotation from the classics. 2
 But we love plagiarist more than a
 jellyflsh; at least, we dislike him less
 There is. however, one weak spot
 in the explanation, the supposition thai : the president believed we were "con. scious of our superior strength" w : were not conscious of it and the pres , ident did not at that time want to b, l conscious of it. for then the presiden was a pacifist who avowedly believe, ? with MT. Bryan and others that to- r much strength would get us int { trouble.
 T The concluding words of J. Ham Q explanation constitute a slam at tn
 Philadelphia North American. Tn : president presumed" too much lon tn e intelligence" of "the courageous Chris e tian people" then and there presen e ito understand"
 e But it's all clear now, thanks to . ni Ham.

PROSPECTS BRIGHT
 FUR MESA LIBRARY

At a meeting of the members of the Mesa Library Association held yes terday afternoon at the city hall, there were fifteen ladies present as members and as many more with vot ing proxies. Hon. M. c. Dougherty was present by request in order to aid the association in any way necessary to make their work regular.
 A resolution was adopted authoriz- ing the transfer of the books, book cases and furniture from the associa- uon to the city council.
 Mrs G. $. Sherwood, Mrs. M. c. Phelps and Mrs. Robert Longmore were appointed a committee to confer with the council A vote of thanks was given MT. Dougherty for the time and attention he had at various times given to the interest of the library. 90 now it is all over, except as the president Mrs. M. L. Johnson. put it. for the council to accept it if they will" There seems no doubt that the council will assume the burden of di- r-cting the library work. at least to the extent of appointing a board and getting behind the movement with a small monthly donation for mainten- ance.

HAVE YoU THEsE BOOKS

Quite a number of good books be- longing to the Mesa public library were found missing when the off, cials of the association recently checked over the list. These are no doubt in the hands of people who took them out to read and have for gotten or neglected to return them. Parties having any of the books in their possession will confer a favor by sending them in to MT. Johnson, at the Commercial club who will see that they are returned to the library. The following is a partial list:
 Pole Baker" Shepherd of the Hills" Heritage of the Desert" " Tess of Duberville." Patty at Col lege," "Polyanna." Barbara Worth" Eyes of the World" Beverly of Grau- stark" "A Girl of the Limberlost," The Rosary" Altar Fire" "fneima, Cease Firing" Gilbert Neal" Mod ern Dances" "Little Mennonite Maid" Swiss Family Robinson" "Laddie. ]" two volumes Business Guide" "The Barrier" The Little Shepherd of Kingdom Come" Knight Errant," Danger Trail" Pool of Flame" "A Spirit in Prison"

It's An Issue Now

Secretary Redfield, of the depart ment of commerce, had not recovered consciousness late on Thursday to comment on the letter of Professor E. Dana Durand. which his own now patent falsehood had evoked. Nor has the position in which the administra tion been placed been improved by the sarcastic characterization by Senators Smith and Hardwick, of Georgia, of the Durand incident as an issue" In its present shape, for which Mir. Redfield and his assistant. Sweet. are responsible, it is an issue. It was not one before. Whether Mir Durand had been dis missed for political reasons or whether he had voluntarily resigned. though a matter of some moral consequence, could not have become an issue in which the people of the country would have taken much interest. That is not an issue now. But whether a cabi- net officer, a member of the presi- dents official family. an adviser of the president, has lied like small ward politician in defense of the acts of the administration has become a real issue We suppose that nine-tenths of the people, in the light of Mir. Durand's letter. have concluded in their own minds that MT. Redfield and his as- sistant are guilty of a falsehood. There cannot well be any other conclusion So we have another issue: Will ths president sustain MT. Redfield by re.
 taining him in his cabinet?
 This is not the first instance of men dacity and less open perversion oi facts in the official family. We have the case of Josephus Daniels. who hal tried not only once but several timel to extricate himeslf by the process o misrepresentation from one pitfal after another into which his ignoranc'
 and inexperience have led him. In on case where the lie was proved, Jos ephus took refuge in alleged forgetful
 ness of a very important incident, | report by a high official of the navy vitally affecting the navy. Mir. Dan | iels has also been accused of a per version of the records, when at las his eyes have been forced open t
 the mistakes he has made.
 In the Durand case, 1t must be born
 in mind that the issue was not ere
 ated by Mir. Hughes, but by Mir. Red
 field.

PROHIBITION DON'T PROHIBIT

To the Editor of the Republican:
 If prohibition doesn't prohibit. then we might take note of the fact that regulation" does not regulate. Have saloons refused to sell liquor on Sun days and to minors and habitual drunkards where these things are prohibited? Have they refrained from debauching legislative bodies in de- fiance of strict laws against bribery ? Everyone knows that the violation of such regulations is a common thing for the average saloon keeper. If the local optionist cries prohibition causes blind pigs" let him look for the facts and he will see that licensed areas are the breeding places foi such defective swine" Last year 19i blind pigs" were arrested in Lo:
 Angeles, a city with about a thou. sand saloons.
 l No friend of the liquor bushes! 1 should hint that the Sovereign peopl,
 of Arizona cannot prohibit the traf l fic. Such a statement is equivalen to saying that the vendors of liquo are such a class of criminals tha
 they propose to carry on a bushes in this state, law or no law.
 It is manifestly absurd to condemn a law because it is violated by crim
 inals This fact is only evidence o

BRADsTREET'S REVIEW

NEW YORK, August II.-brau- streets tomorrow will say:
 Neither poor wheat reports nor un- certainty about the outcome of media tion between railway employees and managers, halt trade which proceeds at an unusually good pace. Indeed, the central idea is that the outlook for fall is otherwise most encouraging, that lessened cereal yields will be offset by high prices; that export trade in most products is enormous, and that buying power having been so largely in creased, a crop event that would have proved well nigh disastrous in most or dinary years, can be endured with com parative equanimity. In few places in the west, it is true, there is [ disposition to await corn crop devel- opments.

EXPLAINING
 ELECTRIC PLANT

Interest in 8 municipally owned and controlled electric lighting plant for Tempe was revived at the regular meeting of the council on Thursday evening anG it is apparent from the enthusiasm displayed and the action taken on that occasion that it will not be so very long before the town will have a plant of it's own.
 Months ago the municipal lighting plant was talked of by the old coun- ell, committees investigated and re- ported and then the oncoming cleo ton overshadowned interest along those lines and it was not until night before last that the council again had to deal with the item. It was the regular monthly meeting but after the town attorney had been instructed to collect the delinquent taxes pur- suant to law and the months bills had been allowed, the full evening was given over to the lighting ques- ton.
 ! Data that had been secured by the committee of the old council and new data that has more recently beer gathered, was presented by a con- mittee of the dozen citizens present l H. L. Chandler, manager of the Soutf Side Gas and Electric Company now operating m tnlS fleld, was also pres ent and intimated that his compan, would be ready to negotiate for ; gale of it's entire holdings here at an, time. That his price will be too higl is the opinion of some and larg share of the estimates being made ar based upon the installation of an en tirely new system that would cost il the neighborhood of twenty-six 0 twenty seven thousand dollars Elec tric power would be purchased iron the Water Users Association.
 Between the council and the doze citizens on hand Thursday evenin some lively interest in the municipa plant was aroused and a vote take showed that every one was hearth in favor of going ahead with the plar The feasibility of the plant will b further discussed at a public mas meeting of citizens that is to be hel on Monday night.
