It was pointed out that the Chan.

Padding the Record

Chairman Mccormick of the national democratic committee appealing especially to progressves makes list of twenty measures which he claims en- acted during the present administration. Among them are eight-h measures, the industrial commission law, the childrens bureau law the phosphorus match law, the department of labor law and the parcel post law. Mir. Mccormick is either guilty of ignorance of intent to deceive. The following the record with respect to the legislation which claimed democratic:
 (Eight-hour law applying work done for the government) In effect March l. 1s1s signed by Mir Taft.
 tEight-hour provision for postoffice employesl In effect generally August 24 1912 Eght-hour sec tion in effect March 4. 1913. signed by Mir. Taft.
 (Eight- hour provision applying to civilians en- gagged in manufacture of ordnance and powder for the government) In effect January l. 1918 signed by MT. Taft
 signed by NIT. Taft.
 Qndustrial commission law) In effect August 2s, 1912. signed by Mir Taft

 There another augury at Red Lake that day Governor Hunt mounted a burro of uncertain but generally predomnanty vicious temperament, rode the animal without resistance protest. The burro, indeed, evinced a disposition of the gov- ernor's hand. Now what does that portend. if any counted the night September it will found that the governor will be seated smilngly astride the democratic donkey, riding to a final fall on November '.
 If one sets out to be soothsayer he should not take a single isolated incident and construct future events that alone. All the circumstances be taken together. That is why insist upon joining the bronco ride and the burro ride at Red Lake.

Where the People
 May Have Hearing
THE LOGIC OF A BROKEN HEART


 To the Editor of the Republican,:
 Never in all history has any ne- farious gang undertaken to bribe the press of the country as the liquor deal CTS are seeking to do in this year of our Lord, nineteen hundred and six teen. You may set it down as certain that at least nine out of every ten words you see in your paper these days that is friendly to the liquor traffic in any way has been laid for at adver- Using rates.
 But not all the newspapers, big or little. are ready to take this Judas bribe. One of the Pennsylvania edi- tors, before whom this bait was dangled by the brewers, made this pathetic and heroic reply: T have your letter offering 10000 lines of beer advertising to be used in the from January l, 1916, to January l, 1917 This would make, l approximately. a quarter page, or 30 | inches. each week, which, at 30 cents | an inch, our authorized rate. would amount to s9.00 a week, or s450.00 for the year.
 This looks very good to us as to the size of the order and the revenue it would bring, but as I feel that some l poor, innocent persons would have to pay not only the s450.00 it would 1 bring me, but also the cost of the beer sold and the profit on it. 1 am not warranted in accepting, much as need the money.
 My home has been broken up for more than a year, due to the fact that my wife has been placed in a hospital for the insane. The physicians diag- nosis of her case is paranola, which, the medical book says, is caused by a family taint of drunkenness, neurosia, or actual insanity. As there has been nothing like the latter two in the fam fly history. l am led to believe that rum is the sole cause of the trouble and now l, an innocent victim. who must pay the hospital bills, conduct a wifeless home and raise a motherless daughter My wife did not drink, but l am told that her father and hei grandfather did
 "1 am not a temperance crank, but 1 could tell you more. This is suf ficient, however. to satisfy you why do not care 10 do anything to fostel an appetite for beer or whisky Thii is the largest advertising proposition l ever had presented to me, but it i not the only one I have refused. I you have any propositions, large o small 10 advertise legitimate com modities that will serve q useful pur pose in, life. l shall be glad to con sider them"

MESA THIEVES ARE
 CAUGHT IN TUCSON

Sheriff Adams returned Monday night from Tucson with four Mexi- can sneak thieves who mad been op- erating at Mesa. Their depredations had covered a period of about a month but it WAS only toward the last that the victims began 10 suspect the manner in which their stocks of goods were being depleted. Lesueurs store appears to have been the place most frequently raided. The plan of the thieves was to enter the store soon after the opening hour and while one of them was negotiating trifling purchase the others would be taking and concealing whatever of value could be hidden and carried away.
 At Lesueurs where there is a nightly checking system the losses were discovered and complaint was made to the officers but at that time there was no clue. How much the other stores lost is not known.
 All at once the stealing stopped and 1t was surmiscd that the thieves had ! left the community. Sheriff Adams 1 sent cut warning to different places and on Sunday he received word from 1 tho sheriff at Tucson that four men were in custody there with a lot of | goods that had probably been stolen. l The sheriff said that a report had been brought to him by the keeper of a lodging house saying that four l Mexicans had come there bringing several suit cases. The suspects were taken up.
 On Sunday night the sheriff left l for Tucson accompanied by a clerk from one of the Mesa stores As soon as the clerk saw the men he recoe nized them as his early morning callers. In their loot were found seventy five pairs of trousers and three suits of clothes. Lesuer's Is still twenty pairs of trousers shy
 The names of the thieves are Feliy Michel Andrew Ochoa Jose BaldeS and Jose Romero After the mer were brought back last night and locked up one of them admitted tho theft. He said that they were ref ugees from Mexico
 The four men were taken over t' Mesa yesterday for arraignment ant were held for trial. They were iden tified there as former residnts tim Dorarily. of the vicinity and as earl, morning patrons of the store tha had been robbed

TEMPEANS FAVOR
 MUNICIPAL PLANT

By an unanimous vote of over seventy interested citizens as- sembled at the mass meeting held night before last in the town hall, the common council was urged to call an election to vote sufficient bonds to provide a municipal lighting plant for Tempe. It was an unusual meet ing both in point of attendance and enthusiasm and among the two dozen or more who spoke there was not a person but favored the idea of an electrical plant and system, owned anG operated by, the town.
 Mayor J. A. Dimes was made chair man of the meeting and for an hour or more, the citizens listened to an exhaustive report. prepared within the last several months and given on this occasion by G. R. Finch and C. Q. Austin. Letters from other munic- l qualities where the lighting plant is owned and operated by the town or city, were read and a deailed report on just what an entirely new plant 1 here would cost was given. Subse- quent speeches by interested citizens and property owners of the town were numerous and all were in favor of the municipal ownership, either through the purchase of the present holdings of the South Side Gas ana Electric Companv or by the installa- ton of an entirely new and inde pendent system.
 Without a dissenting vote thi resolution was adopted: Resolved that 1t is the sense of this meeting that the common council of Temp be requested to proceed to call al election for the purpose of votinl bonds for an amount sufficient [ install municipal lighting syster for the town of Tempe.
 The next regular monthly mcetin
 of the council comes on SepternSe

 bond issue will probably be set g
