To SEND
NATIVE SON To
STATE SENATE

For the first time in history, Pinal
county citizens will this year send a
native son of the county to the legis-
lature in the person of John C. Devine,
candidate on the democratic ticket for
state senator
During the past few weeks a false
rumor has been widely and energetical-
ly circulated that Mr.. Devine had not
cared whether or not be obtained the
nomination and did not care whether
or not he was elected state senator.
Nothing could have been farther from
the truth. Friends of John Devine and
their name is legion, all know that he
decided to become candidate for state
senator only after the most careful
consideration. He has never been a
is not a politician or an office seeker
in any sense Of the word. Owing to
the press Of business affairs of the
, Pinal Development Of which he is
. president and general manager, he has
! found it impossible to tour the county
making speeches and soliciting votes.
He has let the campaign go almost en-
tirely because he believed his first duty
was to the stockholders of the company,
and not to himself. 1t was character
istic of John Devine that he adopted
this policy without hesitating for a
moment.
In this issue of the Copper Camp Mr..
Devine denies all rumors that he is not
in the race for senator. He is run
ming on his record, and it is record
that any man may be proud of. Born
at Florence when the now thriving
county seat was but struggling little
frontier post against the savages and
the desert, John Devine has had no
small part of the development of Pin
ais resources. A miner, he has sue
cessfully held positions of trust and
calling for the exercise of an exception
al executive ability. From a boy in the
mill he rose to responsible position
with the Ray Consolidated, being sup
erintendent of underground operations
when he resigned last spring to take
charge Of the Pinal Development COM
pany. In keeping with his policy of
putting the interests of others above

Johnson accidentally discovered the

RAY SHOULD GO

Ray and Superior should give County
Attorney H. G. Richardson a solid vote
at the election next Tuesday, and from
all Indications "Rich" will carry the

for this is not hard to find. The peo-

ROSE W|NsLOW, DRAMATIC
FIGURE To CLOSE CAMPAIGN
At RAY NEXT MONDAY NIGHT

Rose Winslow, crusader for bet
ter day for working women, girl ora
tor and poet, herself the product of
the eastern mills and sweat shops,
will close her campaign in final
rally at Ray next Monday night, No
vember 9Th. Announcement that the
famous girl speaker, who has stirred
tens of thousands of voters through
out the west with her appeal for
their support, is to close her cam
paign here, will be enough to bring
out record crowd. The meeting will
be held at the plaza, at 1880 p. m.
Rose Winslows name in her native
Polish is Ruza Wenslaw. The daugh-
ter of Polish miner, and herself a
worker in eastern mills until her
health was sacrificed, she has taken
up the cause of the working women
of the nation, and was one of the
four members Of the deputatiOn of
working women who waited on Presi-
dent Wilson in behalf of federal
amendment for suffrage. How the
deputation was received and what
they told the president she will tell
in her own words at Ray next Mon
day night.
speaker. She is not a polished orator
but she talks straight from the
shoulder and hits the nail on the
head every time. She knows just
what she wants to say and says it.
Seldom has Ray HAD an opportunity
to hear such a noted speaker, or one
so intensely interesting. And while
her message is especially to the wo-
men voters, it is equally interesting
to men.
Rose Winslow is a very tall, almost
awkward young woman, she has
gray, far=seeipg eyes that seem to be
vsualizing wonderful countries just
thead. She wears curiously-cut and
quantity colored clothing that smaks
of anything but practical America.
If you comment on these odd and
vivid garments she merely says,
"Why 1 make them myself because it
is cheap. They are like the peasant
clothes of my native land, very sim
pie and comfortable. Why should
try to be anything but what l ann"
Why indeed?
Il have just come from a tour of
the mining camps Of this state" said
Rose Winslow recently. 81 talked
also to men in railroad shops and on
the street and women wherever
could reach them. What strikes me
about Arizona is that the people of
this state are greatly interested in
the problems that mean so much to
me When the men in the Winslow
railroad shops-Where I had been ad-
against the woman party was so
bitter-when those men came to me
and gripped my hand and said, we

Mr.. Davis has just has just completed
personal investigation of the central
zone of the Ray district, for Coote, and

He is one of the most conservative and
careful mine investigators in the south

slant contributor to a number of the
most influential mining and technical
publications in the United States. Rel
ative to Ray, Mr.. Davis says, in part:
Il have seen many new mining camps
in the making, and must say that while
Ray is by no means a new camp, it is
ing boom, which should not be long in
coming. The enormous production of
the Ray Consolidated has long kept
the name of the camp before the public,

to enter the ranks of the big produ-
GERS in the near future, and other
companies starting active development,
the district is daily receiving more at

Army subsIstence Cost.

There will be an appreciable inCrea Sc
in the expenditures necessary during the
next fiscal year for subsistence for the
army. The amount required last year
will he exceeded during the next fiscal
year by about S759 900, most of which sum
is due to the increase In the number OF
troops by $500 and the remainder to an
increase in the cost of the ration, $40 l52
in amount, representing a unit increase
of eight one-thousandths of a cent. Near
ly everything which enters into the COM
position of the army ration has increased
in price, particularly during the Euro
pean war. The greatest difference is in
the item of coffee, the price OF which has
risen from 5.sS cents to II cents since De-
cember OF 1916. The military authorities
say there is small hope, In the light of
present conditions, that coffee Of the type
issued to the troops will be cheaper.
The water-trade rates have advanced
from 81 cents per bag prior TO the Euro
pean war to $3.50 per bag at the present
eime, and there is great difficulty in Sc
curing steamers upon which any insur-
ance can be placed. The item of insur-
anCe, indeed, has materially advanced.
There are no so-called English breakfast
teas on the market, and freights from
India are already equal to s cents per
pound and are going higher. The article
of beans has advanced from SIS to 6s
cents, due in great part to the short crop
of good beans as the result of bad wealth
er conditions during the ripening and
drying season. Sugar has advanced from
5.7 to SIS cents. Other advances are
noted in beef, bacon, and flour.

Conflict Of Laws in Mississippi.

Prohibition in Mississippi has taken a queer
turn. The only real and simon-pure prohibition
in the State now is against the freedom of the
press in publishing advertisements. The legis-
lature which has just adjourned enacted law
which prohibits the sale circulation of any
newspaper or periodical which carries adver-
tisement of any alcoholic liquors. The prohibition
of the sale and use of liquors does not go so far
That law permits the importation of two quarts
of whisky or twelve quarts of beer for each adult
citizen every four weeks. The people may buy
and use liquors but they may not read advertise
ments to guide them in how and where to buy,
or what should be the market price They may
send to New York or New Orleans an order for
these goods which are not contraband in the
State, but they may not read advertisement
giving them information about what they are to
order or what price they to pay.
The people of Mississippi have long resented
the old history of that State written by Northern
men to the effect that they prohibited the crcula-
ton of knowledge among the slaves; but the new
law against advertising of lawful goods is prohi-
bition of the circulation of information to the
white people we'll as to the negroes of the
State. There might be some consistency in the
laws of Mississippi if the prohibition of the liquor
traffic went far does the prohibition of ad-
vertisng. But as these laws now stand they are
absolutely inconsistent, and more against the free
dom of the press than the prohibition of the
liquor traffic 1t might be charged that the Mis-
sissippi legislature was influenced by bootleg
gers lobby for it appears that the legislation bene-
fits the boot-leggers who sell liquors without
specific brands a schedule of prices, taking
people as to quality and prices. With such leg
islation it may not be surprising that the cities
in Mississippi have the highest record of crime in
the country What is so ignorant that he
cannot understand the farce of law which pro-
hibits him from reading about what the law says
he has a right to buy and use?

The Chief of Staff.
into pleasure

1t made known today that Mai Gen.
Hugh L. Scott, who was detailed as Chief OF
Staff of the army by former Secretary Garrison,
will remain at his present duties under Mr.. Baker.
The Secretary said that he had found Gen. Scotts
services eminently satsfactory.-Washngto dis
patch.
The President, and not the Secretary of War,
details an officer, mot below the grade of
brgadier general" to be Chief of Staff He serves
four years, unless sooner relieved" The impIi-
cation is that he will serve the full term if he
is professionally satisfactory; but an incoming
President is entitled to choose his own Chief Of
Staff. Gen. Leonard Wood held the office when
Mr.. Wilson became President, and there being
no question of the generals efficiency the new
President waived his right to appoint successor
to Gen. Wood, who rounded out the four-year
term.
Gen. Scott was appointed Chief of Staff on
November II, 1914 and he will retire for age on
September 22, 1917. If President Wilson should
not succeed himself, Gen. Scott might be dis
placed but he would probably be allowed to re-
main at the head of the Staff Corps until he
retired from active service, at which time he
would have been Chief of Staff less than three
years. Secretary Baker on taking up the duties
with which he had no familiarity was fortunate
to have such an able, industrious and loyal Chief
of Staff as Gen. Scott at his right hand. OF
course, Mr.. Baker has found the generals services
"eminently satisfactory."-New York Sun.
