STATE FAIR GROUNDS NEARLY READY FOR
 COMING CROWDS

The Arizona State Fair Commis- sion have the fair grounds nearly ready for the reception if what will be the largest crowds that have ever been inside the gates, when the fair opens November 18th.
 Harvey Crawford, the aviator and builder of aeroplanes is already in Phoenix and it has just leaked out that he is to stay here and open a school of aviation at the State fair grounds. Crawford has with him his large, passenger carrying machine in which he will take up visitors at the fair.
 Ground is being broken for the fifty foot circle that is to be dug eight feet deep for the use of the great water circus that comes with the Great Worshams shows, the carnival that will supply the big amusement feat ures of the fair. The company car ries twenty eight cars of show par aphernalia and is admitted to be the best of its kind.
 The numerous additions to the stock barns, sheds and pens are partly com pleted and, though the Commission has provided nearly double the space used last year, every barn and pen is already spoken for.
 The Copper Queen Mining company have agreed to send their entire band of thirty three pieces to Phoenix fol the entire week and to stand every penny of the expense. This is req boosting but it only shows the spirit that seems to prevail over the entire state. Every one seems to have dropped politics to talk fair and ever the picture houses are advertising tho big week gratis.
 With all Arizonians at home thi: year and with the money of one of the most prosperous years of tht states history in their pockets, there seems to be feeling of "Lets dc something BIG, this year" in every one.
 More exhibits, more entertainments more races, more entries in every de partment insures the biggest and best fair Arizona has ever known. The different hotels of the city art receiving requests for rooms even al this early day and that proves that there is going to be great influx oi visitors from all parts of the state.

An Incentive

 Almost before the smoke and dust of the recent revolt in Ireland had cleared away story dealing with the fighting in. Dublin reached these shores.
 A person whose first name was Jeremiah and who loved scrap, no matter what it's merits might be, ven- tured too near the zone of street hostilities.
 A shipper in a building shot him down, and then shot him twice again as he lay on the pavement. Later he was picked up and carried to a hos pital. Here sorrowing friend called to inquire regarding the victims con dition.
 "Well," said the surgeon in charge of the case, ''he's badly hurt. He has a hole clear through his chest, his right shoulder blade is shattered and part of his jaw is gone"
 "Oh, wurra, wurra!r exclaimed the visitor. "Thin poor Jerry can't livep' 'T believe he'll get well--in fact, Pm sure of it," said the surgeon. "what chance has he wit all thim hurts-and him sickly kind of lad to start wit'?"
 Its not a chance," said the sur geon; fits an incentive. He thinks he knows the man who shot him."

The Musical Clock

A colored preacher in the south tells of his visit to certain house hold in town in Georgia, where, quite early one morning, he was awakened by the tones of contralto voice singing. Abide With Me" As the reacher lay in bed he meditated upon the piety which his hostess must possess which enabled her to proceed about her task early in the morning singing such noble hymn.
 At breakfast he spoke to her about it, and told her how pleased he was.
 "Lawsy!" she replied, that's the hymn l boils eggs by; three verses for soft and five for hard"

The Bargin Pin

Some years ago, when Holbrook Blinn, the actor, was playing in London production, he went to Ascott for the races one afteroon. In an in terval between races Blinn was in refreshment booth when a slinky in- dividual addressed him and wanted to know whether Blinn wouldn't buy handsome diamond scarfpin at great bargain. Blinn said "No;", but the stranger was persistent.
 "It's worth twenty pounds if it's worth tanner" said the furtuve one; land you can lave it for five, guv'nor. Just take look at it, anyway"
 "Well, show it to me, then," said Blinn. Where is it?"
 The other took Blinn by the arm and pointed off to the right, where an elderly gentleman stood.
 "In the necktie of that old cove over younder!" he said.

Hunt Eats in "Scab"

Hunt Eats in "Scab"
 Restaurant But It Is Crime
 for Campbell to Do So
 "The few listeners present jeered at times and hurled questions at the speakers regarding Campbell's alleg- ed patronage of a "scab" restaurant in Bisbee recently. Try, as they might, the speakers could not make themselves heard and it is safe to say that they left Oatman fully convinced that their popularity had not been in- creased by their visit" ."-Kingman Miner.
 Strange sort of unionism that does not take the same offense at Governor Hunt eating at an advertised "scab'' cafe the Copper Queen Cafe at Bis bee-October 27, sworn evidence if desired by those who only believe a person is "scab" if they don't hap pen to agree with them politically. It was a crime for Campbell to eat with his old time friend, but it is no crime for Governor Hunt to eat in an ad- vertised unfair restaurant.
 While not blaming either one, where is the so called fairness" in abusing candidates in every possible manner and boosting the others for doing the same thing, only worse if possible, because Governor Hunt de- liberately went into the Copper Queen Cafe"
 Knocking either one may be bad, but knocking Campbell and boosting Hunt under such circumstances shows low rotten disosition and without the least bit of justice or honor.

VOTE FOR THE AMENDMENT

The first in the list of propositions to be submitted to the people at the election is referred measure, con stitutional amendment adopted by the legislature. It proposes that no in itiated or referred measure may be- come law unless it shall receive a majority of the votes cast at the cleo tion where it was submitted. The legislature was moved to adopt this measure by the mass of ill-digested Legislation which lay on the stomach of the state after the election of two years ago, an agglomeration of ignor- ance and viciousness. Much of that has since happily been declared un- constitutional. Much of it was so un- skillfully framed that the meaning lessness alone was sufficient to in validate it.
 Various means have been proposed in different states to prevent the abuse of the initiative and referen- dunn which have tended to bring pop ular government into disfavor. In some states it has been proposed to do away with the industry of petition circulating; to notify the public that petitions for the initiative or the re- ference of certain measures may be found at certain convenient places where those interested may sign them. It is recognized that the present system of circulation is a joke, but a grim one. The average man unfor- tunately will sign any document which does not financially obligate him, whether he feels any interest in it or not, or whether he knows anything about its contents or not.
 Under our petition circulating sys- tenn it is possible to bring any propo- sition, however hare-brained, before the people and in the absence of any knowledge of it or any interest in it by the great majority of the voters, it is possible to impose upon the peo- pie as law.
 This amendment is designed to compel a majority of those who go to the polls declare that they favor the proposed law. If there is any real demand for it, if there is any wide spread need felt for such a law it will be adopted by the people. But the main thing is that if this amendment is adopted a small, interested and organized minority will not be able to put anything over" on an apathet- ic, ignorant and careless majority. We have referred to the fact that so much proposed legislation, even fl meritorious, is so unskillfully drawr as to be worthless. That suggests ] another amendment which we trust the next legislature will propose, pro. viding for legislative reference bu. reau, like that of the state of Wis. consin. All proposed legislation zoe: to the bureau, not to be altered in any way as to it's purposes, but to be licked into shape" made ineligible so that if enacted it will be of some effect-Arizona Republican.

POLITICAL POINTERS
As to Swapping Horses

The reason for voting for Woodrow Wilson is that "it isn't wise to swap horses crossing a stream"
 Why isn't it?
 Life is all stream. At intervals. We pause moment on dry land. In this country, that pause comes at every presidential election. Then we plunge in again. And believe me, if a stream is four years wide, and al. most as deep, and if you're riding a steed that is alike blind, lame and un- manageable, then is the time of all times to change if you want to reach the other side alive.
