A DEAD ISSUE

We are informed that few Of
our people are making fight
against George A. OIney. who is a
candidate for governor. and in favor
of Governor Hunt, who is seeking the
same nomination for the third term.
on the question of prohibition.
The question of prohibition has
been settled in Arizona. The saloon
will never return. Then, too, we
wish to call attention to the fact
that when Graham county went dry,
under the local option law. that
George Olney was one of the first
men in the county to insist that the
law be strictly enforced. After a
question has been settled we deem
it very unwise to attempt to make
an issue of it. for if it is to become
an issue we wish to call attention to
the fact that Governor Hunt has
never shown any hostility toward
the liquor people of Arizona. In
his first campaign large majority
of the whiskey men voted for him,
and in the last campaign, the whiskey
men voted for him almost solidly,
irrespective of politics.
We may also call attention to the
fact that among the first appoint
ments made by Governor Hunt was
that of one of the most prominent
saloon men in Arizona to one of the
most important positions in the
State.
Therefore, we say it is very un-
wise to inject dead issues into the
present State campaign.

THE COWBOYS DREAM
BY GRACE CARNEs IRVINE

BY GRACE CARNES IRVINE
! was travelling back to Reins,
Aud had ridden hard all day,
When night came Der the plains,
O'ertaking me half the way.
There was nothing to do but rough it,
AS there was no place around;
SO prepared to tough it
BY sleeping on the ground.
| tethered my horse in the open
And pillowed my head with care
On my big saddle, hoping
The Lord would hear my prayer
For the dear ones back in the old home,
A thousand miles away,
And the mother who sat in the gloam
Hoping I'd return some day.
So lay under the starry sky,
With darkness over ali,
As a signing breeze swept by,
Waiting the night birds call;
And thoughts of my mother came again,
The one longed to see,
When out on the mOOnlit plain
She appeared to me.
Dear one, " said she, IL love you,
lHOuSl 't pdSoSh W NlIt OIIlSI SAuS
Where all the good and the true
In the heavenly land abide.
Be patient and brave, dear,
Kind and tender and true,
And heaven will be ever near
And the Lord of ali with you.
Then she smiled and passed from sight,
And Ger the morning sky
Came stealing dawn's gray light,
Bidding the night good-by.
| rode on to the town of Reins
In a big hurry that day,
For my dream on the plains
Had made me sad sOmeway.
And there | found awaiting
A telegram for me,
A short one, only stating
My mother died at three.
But my great grief was lightened
By the vision | did see,
And the long way was frightened
BY its message to me.
For felt that her spirit dear
Was lowering by my side
And that heaven was ever near,
And had only to abide
By her words to me TINT night
To have her always there;
So determined to live Alright
In answer to her prayer,
