The Rescue Club"

We have never been in sympathy with the aims and methods of the Rescue club" which, though joke. appears to have been serious. almost gloomy for of the county incumbents. Some of them have been defeated by the activities of this organiza
 ton and others have been violently jared The Rescue club" built wrong ridiculous foun
 dation, upon the theory that it a crime to hold an office beyond a stated period and injustice to keep who has held office off of the public payroll Offices have not been created to go round and give as many citizens possible chance the public treasury There be better for putting out of office than the fact that he has held it for long time. And there must be some better reason for electing a to office than the fact that he has always heretofore been private citizen in whose bonnet the bee has buzzed in vain.
 But the cry of courthouse ring" always potent one. and the charge of nepotism, which doubtless some of the voters who had heard of it before by that imagined a synonym for piracy arson champerty. not without their effect.

SCHOOL GIRL AVIATOR
 PREFERS OVERLAND

Art Smith, famous aviator who re- gently purchased an Overland Model S4-B, is not the only flyer who favors that line of automobiles.
 In proof of this H. H. Hotchkiss, To- cal overland and Willys- Knight dealer, tells of photo recently received from the Overland factory at Toledo. of Miss Stnson. school girl aviatrix, which was taken during a recent exhi- bition at Edmonton. Alta. in Canada, where she became acquainted with the Overland cars, spending much of her time when not in the air. in one of these automobiles.
 Like Art Smith. Miss Stinson is also an expert on motors-as a bird man, or bird lady in this instance. must be familiar with gasoline driven motors It was quite a compliment, therefore to have Miss Stinson declare that she now understands why so many men were buying Overlands for their wives and daughters.
 "The car is so easy to operate" she said after one of her spins. The cleo tric control box and the other conven- fences make it an ideal woman's mo- tor car"

THE CHILD IN ME

She follows about My House of Life (This happy little ghost of my dead youthD She has no part in Times relentless strife She keeps her old simplicity and truth
 And laughs at grim mortality
 This deathless child that stays with me This happy little ghost of my dead youth My House of Life is weather stained with years Child in Me, wonder why you stay). It's windows are bedimmed with rain of years It's walls have lost their rose-ts thatch Its gray; One after one it's guests depart
 So dull host is my old heart Child in Me. I wonder why You stay! For jealous Age whose face would forget Pulls the bright flower you give me from my hair And powders 1t with snow-and yet-and yet love your dancing feet and jocund air
 And have no taste for caps of lace
 To tie about my faded face: love to your flower in my hair, . Child in Me leave not My House of Clay Until we pass together through it's door! When lights are out, and Life has gone away, And we depart to come again more,
 We Comrades. who have travelled far
 Will hail the twilight and the Star And gladly pass together through the Door!

AID FOR MEXICO
(The Chicago Tribune)

tIhe Chicago Trlbune)
 Secretary Lansing to have told the Mexican commissioners that the personal rights and property interests of Americans Mexico must be given con- sderation In the conference
 At the same time hear that aid for Mexican railroads is sought in this country.
 In view of the fact that the present administra- ton has proceeded on the theory that American vestment and enterprise in Mexico a cruel ex- plotation of an unfortunate people and that Amer jeans in Mexico are prima facie malefactors whose persons and rights government is not bound to protect and will not protect what is the prospect Mexico receiving in this country the financial aid it very greatly needs and always has needed?
 We should hazard the opinion that the prospect Is small unless some better be given than the present conference the present admins tration offers.
 Mexico needs American aid aid from some other outside But she cannot get it here or elsewhere on the grounds which the Bryan Wilson policy has established-only temporarily we trust

The Primary and the Future

The democratic state primary brought with it no surprise those who had taken casual though dstinterested view of the of events during the last two weeks and disregarded wild and unrea- sonable That Governor Hunt would be re- nominated seemed positively certain It very evil dent in spite of the noise and furore. the great mass of the democratic party had been seized by mingled apathy and disgust. Many of them, enough to defeat him. had been alienated from the governor and probably in the beginning would have voted against him. Later however though they had not been brought regard him any favorably, they were influenced by certain methods employed against him to keep hands off. Vulnerable the governor was and s his bitterest enemies could not fail to that many of the attacks upon him unjust
 On the other hand. the governors support though it constituted but small part of the democratic party that could be counted upon. Reports of division in the labor vote found to be ground less Rather the governor is to have stronger hold than upon it. But he unable if he tried to any influence, it to the support of his friends for those who known as Hunt can ddates have been almost without exception, defeated
 The very lightness of the democratic vote is the best promise of good government that has yet been given. It had for some time been indicated that the vote would be light. Many democrats had neglected to register and large of them had registered as non -partisans That was unmistakable evidence of dissatisfaction with Hunt and the absence of hope Olney It appeared that many democrats were looking beyond them both for relief
 Now is the opportunity of the republicans-such a opportunity as they have never had, not merely to win a republican victory but to install the first good and efficient state in Arizona which in five years has become very much of a by-word In this they will the sympathy and asss tance of thousands of democrats who are as desirous of good government the republicans.
 It is not essential by what name the govern ment is The main thing is the character of the men who shall it. We believe the personnel of the republican ticket, and not it's name, will appeal more strongly to the citizen whatever his party utilization, than the personnel of the democratic ticket

Tempe News Notes
TEMPE HAS EXCITING
 ELECTION AT HOME

Once assured that the majority of the gubernatorial votes in the state were going Governor Hunts way local voters directed their keenest attention at the polls Tuesday night to the races in the Tempe district for justice of the peace and constable nominations.
 Early in the evening news that Hunt was carrying the principal counties of the state was received and after that popular interest seemed to favor the affairs closest to home. Shortly after midnight it was definitely determined that ]. H. Cumings for justice and Geo. F.. Etalie for constable were the demo- cratic nominees.
 But seldom at either primary or a general election have the local candi- dates so closely competed for nomina- tion. At ten o'clock Tuesday night with votes half counted, each town precinct showed a tie between Stalie and Russell for constable. An hour later the returns from the country pre- cincts came in giving Stalie a majority and the votes eventually totaled from the five precincts: Stalie 1856; Russell l26: Gililland, l09.
 The justice of the peace nomination was between the present justice, Chas. O. Austin, and J. H. Cummings. Cum mings took slow lead from the start and with the returns from the country in it was determined that he was the nominee. The votes stood: Austin 172, Cummings 222
 Competing against the two demo- cratic nominees at the November cleo tion will be F.. P. Carr for justice of the peace and J. H. Woods for con- stable.

The fateful vote will be taken, And then there'll be rude awakening, And then there'll be great heart breaking, With many poor outdistanced skate. For it's the same old sad sad story, Deep-graven on Times Tablets hoary, That all souls may not feast glory, Some have to take tater'n wait. And when the dubs we've mentioned lately Have met the fate we've told stately, Although they've fought it desperately, They'll have to take tater'n wait.

An Uncertain Light

We shall take for text this morning. my brethren the following from exchange:
 La Toilette counted strongly upon the union vote by his stand for the eight hour day to carry him through" This is extract from dispatch from Milwaukee on the result of the Wisconsin primaries. It throws interesting light the real motives which govern the senator from Wisconsin, although he claims to be the only pure and dsnerested patriot in the country.
 This illustrates the unfarness with which public often attacked The statement is here made that Senator La Toilette unworthily moved to vote the eight bill And the authenticity of the statement is enclosed by quotation marks. That is, it is quoted from vagrant Milwaukee dispatch of unknown authorship Presumably Senator La Fol lete is the author is likely any friend of the senator familiar with the workings of his mind: familiar with his motives voting for the eight hour law.
 Yet exchange finds in the dispatch "an inter- esting light the real motives which govern the senator from Wisconsin" What light and who sheds it? The dispatch is not admissible evidence and be regarded a light all It is only a smoking torch and the is beyond the circle of it's uncertain rays.
 Mir La Toilette may have entertained the motives ascribed him proof of it the dis the action when eight hour bill was pending.
 The bill itself bad one conceived in political chicanery and born in cowardice. But notwthstand- ing its disgraceful origin it appealed. doubt, many honest senators and representatives among whom may have been MT La Toilette.
