Votes by Mail.

The Sloan resolution to have the militia on
the Mexican border vote at their stations in the
next national election is in line with the move
ment, given serious consideration through
out the country, that will permit voting by
mail
Not so long ago such plan was considered
visionary and impractical but one State already
has tried out the system and will soon be in
position to give concrete evidence as to its prac-
ticability.
In all justice, there seems to be no good
reason why men whose occupatonal pursuits pre-
vent them from being at their voting residence
on election day should be debarred from having
voice in the selection of the officers who will
govern them. 1t amounts to practical disen-
franchisement.
Voting by mail would be boon for govern
meht employees living in the District of
Columbia, who, for more than sentimental reasons
retain their voting residence in other States
Their annual contribution to the railroad COM
panies for the privilege of casting a ballot
amounts to small item, not to mention the
loss of time.
1t is less than six years ago that the Demo
cratic nominee for governor Of Massachusetts,
was chosen by a registered mail canvass of the
delegates After rotous convention that broke
up without making nomination, the rival candi-
dates agreed to have the delegates express their
choice by mail and the returns were canvassed
by committee representing both candidates with
one punely impartial member Eugene N Foss
secured the majority of the mail ballots and was
declared the nominee and subsequently elected
and Charles S. Hamlin, the unsuccessful candi-
date, now governor of the Federal Reserve Board
never questioned the validity of the choice Thus,
in a small way it was demonstrated that plain
politicians can conduct an honest mail election
With the facilities of the Federal government
and honest State officials, there is no. reason
why the integrity OF the ballot should be I'M
paired by the introduction of the mail system
of voting
1t is hardly probable that Representative
Sloan's bill will be enacted into law, but it
viii serve useful purpose if it sets communities
to thinking on this question: for it will act in
material way to reduce the number of men
elected to high office who are purely the choice
OF the minority of an electorate.

HOW SIMON CAMERON

Cameron to conquer that despondency

pre-eminence, he would not have been the
president of the United States.
This was a statement which James G..
Blaine occasionally made to his friends.
especially at time when he was a
member OF the Cabinet of President Gar

chatting with his friends about the book
which he purposed writing. and after
ward did write. which took the title
twenty Years in Congress"
Blaine heard the story while a young
man in Pennsylvania, the State of his
birth, and years later his investigations
verified 1t. Buchanan, Blaine thought,
was somewhat given to despondency. He
frequently looked upon the dark side of
things. His physical infirmity, reflected
IN a curious stiffness Of the neck which
caused him to hold his head to one side,
may have been responsible for this feel

Should there be an increase in the mil
ltary forces sooner than was contem-
plated by the reorganization act there IS
almost sure to be a discussion of the eco
homic features OF such an increase and
members of Congress are said to enter
tam the opinion that IT would be easier
to increase the infantry branch than
any other arm of the service
This is due largely to the fact that IL
requires only about So. 900 to euip a

$4,000 is needed for a cavalry regiment

however, which is inclined to doubt the
paramount importance Of cavalry along
the border, particularly in view OF the
recent successes in mobi!izing troops by
automobile transport. II is recognized.
OF course, that cavalry is excellent for
scouting purposes. but border conditions
seem TO require the quick mobilization Of
infantry from one point TO another and
the automobile has been found especially
adaptable for this purpose.
A great many OF the Eastern National
Guard organizations, which have been
sent to the border and have taken UP
camp there. have impressed vetern army
officers with their ability to get down
to business without delay and their sys-
tematic manner OF falling into the regu-
lar camp routine. With the proper eN-
periencc. It is believed. many Of these
troops will make excellent soldiers.

be obtained. as some OF the reserS es are

The fact that the Calumet and Cor nelia Development Co Is strictly a To- cal company and that it's properties are located within radius of twenty five miles of Phoenix at once makes it an item of considerable interest.
 The property owned by this com- paRy Is about one and a half miles west of Cave Creek near the conflu ence of Apache creek and consists oi seventeen full claims and a fraction the values are principally copper. the metal that Is today in such demand and has a future that is without doubt unparalleled.
 Maps of the property show twenty six openings in which values are found as well as several croppings that show copper where no work has been done.
 Something like s10.0OO has so fal been expended in development in the way of open cuts. shafts, tunnels, etc.

and considerable tonnage of surface ores proven.
 About three months ago aa option on the property was taken ara sampling and testing was carried on for two months the values of the sur face ores proved not only satisfactory but to be amenable to the teaching process, a method of recovery that has been proven in Arizona beyond ques- ton of doubt.
 The services of copper expert of acknowledged ability was secured and
 reported faNorably on both forma- tion and general condition as being favorable for the development of a valuable mine and that the surface showings were even better than many where rich mines are now being worked.
 Capitalization is 000 000 shares at a capitalization is 1,000.000 shares at a par value of $l.00 each, the property
 has been purchased outright and a clear title secured. and 750,000 shares
 are left in the treasury for develop ment and installation of equipment. During the past week a camp has been established and actual develop ment will be commenced the coming
 week. IL is not the plans of the man lsers, for the present at least, to carry on any extensive campaign of stock ielling, the present owners believing hat from the showing they have that hey are justified in footing the bills for the immediate development. Arizona is certainly proving to be a wonderful copper state and the proven districts not only now encircle Salt River valley but each year develop nent brings them nearer to Phoenix. he natural center of them all.
