Where, oh where, are the great prog rosticators of recent political events? Where are the ''Wise men of the east?" Wilcox, Bliss, Hitchcock, Perkins, and the strenuous Theodore; the Hearst papers, the Portland Oregonian, The Los Angeles Times, Golfers Weekly, The New York Herald and it's name sake of Fl Paso; also the brilliant forecasters prophets, seers and revelators of the Arizona republican press, who predicted the defeat of Wilson.
 Answer: They have retired to the se clusion of their own bailiwicks, there to mourn and do penance in sack-cloth and ashes, for their attempt to deceive the electorate into be lieving that they were in touch with the most secret thoughts of the American people, and so could predicate the result of the election
 These wisdom dispensers, never for moment considered the fact that the great thinking majority of the nation had never taken them into their confidence; hence, they could not be cajoled by sophistry, nor deceived by false issues, into voting for the "Ice-man'' ''

GENERAL OTIS DYING sPAsMs

The blame for the defeat of Hughes is now being cast on Governor Hiram Johnson, of California, by the disgruntled leaders of the Republican party in the recent campaign.
 Harrison Grey Otis, the old hoary head ed retrogressonist of the Los Angeles Times, is especially bitter against the Republican Senator-eect from California. Because Cali fornia gave Johnson a majority of 100000 votes over his democratic competitor, and re- turned the democratic presidential electors, Otis and the soreheads swear that John son l1nifed Hughes; hence the vengeance of that arch enemy of unionism Is heaped on the head of the governor.
 As Otis always opposed and abused Johnson and every measure of reform ad- xocated by him during his incumbency as Governor of California, it is not surprising that the general who ran away from Aguln- aldo, should breathe malidictions on John- son in his expiring political throes.
 Nothing in California could have tend ed stronger towards the defeat of Hughes than Otis support; as matter of fact, 1t has been known for years that Otis advocacy of any man or measure, state or local, was SYNONYMOUS with an avalanchal snow under.

STRIKE CALLED OFF.

The late strike in Morenci of the miners employed in the Arizona Copper Company properties has fizzed out, as was predicted early in the week The men returned to work on Wednesday morning at both mines and shelter.
 There was no just reason for the call-out in the first place, and it was not authorized by the union as a body, nor by union officials individually.
 This i'll advised and hasty action on the part of the miners, induced by few irrespon- sible agitators, has injured the cause of union ism in the district, besides causing a loss of weeks earnings to the families of the strik- CTS, that they can i'll afford at the present time, with winter on and the cost of living soaring almost beyond the reach of people with fat bank accounts.
 It is to be hoped that the leaders of the Unions of this district will in the future make it impossible for a few dissenters in their ranks, to throw whole community into trouble and contention by proclaiming lot of imaginary grievances that could be settled without resort to the great evil of a pro- longed strike.

A DIFFERENT INVOICE OF FEMALES
 The Los Angeles Times tells of "a dear old lady in Pasadena who was earning $o week as seamstress, and who tainted while at work The incident brought out the fact that her relatives in the east had sent her to Southern California with only her ticket and a few dollars in hand. Eastern people have the cheerful habit of tricks like this. They send us their aged and sick without any means of support, expecting them to live on charity and sunshine when they get out here. '' Your comment to the incident IS apropos Mr. Times, but you did not go far enough in your criticism of eastern peoples habits and methods of transporting females out west.
 You overloowed that million dollar train of females who lately were guests of the Angelic City on different mission from that of seamstress. itg.a

''Why, in New Haven, Connecticut 1 could telephone to hell and back for five cents.'' ''Yes, but that is within the city limits there" she courteously replied.

STATISTICS NEVER ERR.

Much has been banded about during the recent campaign of the great number ot Americans Killed during Wilson's adminlstra- ton. While they were many and regretable it should not be forgotten that almost an equal number lost their lives during Roose- welt and Taft's occupancy of the presidency, of which little comment has been made, and few protests.
 Under Roosevelts administration, there is a record of 60 Americans slain; under Taft sz Americans were killed in and around Fl Paso alone, and as many more across the line in Mexico, and many killed and wounded al ng the line near Douglas.
 Under Wilson's administration, the rec. ord shows no civilians and 36 soldiers kill ed.
 During the last two years of Taft, 38o foreigners were killed i'll Mexico, while un- der four years of Wilson 25o foreigners were reported killed, making total of 800 for eigners killed since the beginning of the Ma dero revolution. Of these TO were British, 38 Spanish, 4 German, 7 Chinese and 4 Jap anese.
 Mr. Roosevelt took no action whatever on the American deaths while in office, not even official protest, nor did MT. Taft.
 Yet Roosevelt bawled 1t out from the housetops what he and his party would do ii intrusted with the rcigns of government for the next four years

THE LOSERS ARE SAD.

The most pathetic sights to be seen in Clifton are the gentlemen who inconsider- ately dumped their dough on Hughes, Hunt and Cash. While they are receiving the con- dolances of the other fellow, in the shape of an assurance that four years hence they may have an opportunity to retrieve their fallen fortunes, 1t is dismal consolation to the enthusiastic individual who blindly plunlled down his hard earned scads.
