The prevailing pronuncia- ton is, therefore. a corruption of the earlier one
 We do not want to be understood to be defending the position of Senator Penrose against a public building for Tucson. His ignorance of Tucson was manifest in his statement that the pro- posed public building would be bigger than all the rest of the town. and that the building would become the chief contributor to it's fame.
 As to the real pronunciation of the name of the ancient and honorable pueblo, We refer the matter to Dr. NJ. ?. Freeman of Tucson Whatever he says goes, and his dictum will be re- garded by The Republican as official and final

Where the People
 May Have Hearing
Preaching and Practicinq

To the Editor of The Republican,
 Phoenix. together with nearly all sections of Arizona, has been preach ing cooperation, and the support and encouragement Of home industries We feel called upon at this time to refer to our good neighbor Tucson in this connection We have here ia Phoenix q young and thriving indus try in the manufacture of brooms made from corn grown here at home. While in its infancy. this industry is capable Of indefinite expansion. and the Salt River valley should Hot only manufacture all the brooms used in the entire state. but should supply neighboring states. and ship both the corn and the manufactured article to all parts of the Pacific coast, It Is manifest that any manufacturing or other business should serve it's local market before reaching out for export trade. With the support of it's own locality, any business can then eNpand and reach out into neighboring trade, so far as conditions Of production ana freight rates will permit What is Tucson doing to cooperate with Phoenix in this particular industry? During the past season, Albert Stein field and company have used about 35O dozen or Salt River valley broonS and this means that these brooms are in turn distributed by this concern through all parts of southern Arizona and northern Mexico. While it is not entirely friendliness and good will to- ward us that prompts this co-opera - tion. since the concern named recog- nizes that it gets the best broom value in the market rigth here. yet we do appreciate the spirit that prompts our good neighbor to work with US. and the spirit that prompts the consuming public of the southern section to use the product of our valley. Our own merchants and our own people might well profit by this example of our southern friends. While many of our own people and our own merchants are encouraging and supporting our home industry. on the other hand
 many Of them are ignoring it, and handling in preference eastern or coast made articles. many of which are not even of an open free market source, but are the product of eastern
 convict labor.
 Not only in brooms, but in every 1 product of home production, let ou' people call for and demand the loca article.

Tuxson, Took Soon or Tooson?

A debate was precipitated in the United States senate the other day in the course of the consideration of the public buildings bill over the pronun- citation of the name Tucson" Senator Penrose referred to it as "Tuxon," whereupon he was accused by our senior senator, MT. Smith, of not know ing even how to pronounce the name of a town to which he would deny a public building, the inference to be that if the Pennsylvania senator was ignorant of the name of Tucson. he was ignorant of the merits of the bill.
 Nearly all school boys and girls of the period between half century and thirty years ago, were taught that the name of the then capirai of Arizona, was "Tuxon," or, as it's pronunciation was indicated in the school geographies
 Tuck-son.' with the accent on the first syllable. Those who afterward came to Arizona and heard for tn. first time the prevailing pronunciation were surprised to learn that it wa: "Too-son' with the accent on the last syllable.
 The pronunciation is still matter of dispute. The pioneers of Tucsol

What is the Re.ation?

What will Mir Hughes have to say of democratic tariff which has done so much to stimulate commerce and build up industrial activity y?-Doug- las International.
 Again We ask what has the demo- cratic tariff had to do with such com mercial and industrial activity as we have had during the last two years? What could any tariff have had to do with it in the circumstances of the war. which alone has stimulated ac- tivity? This activity has chiefly taken the form of munitions manufacturing. That would have been just as active under the Payne-Aldrich tariff law or never had a tariff that would have in terfered with exports and manufactur- ing for export, of those commodities which other nations have to have. and which they can obtain nowhere else.
 We can conceive that in ordinary times, We might have a tariff so high as to act as an actual barrier to inn ports and that other nations moved by spirit of retaliation might choose not to buy of us. But that has not been the case during the last two years The allies have bought our munitions and our horses and mules and such of our gfnrN NVgtf knN A.l e.ssA could buy from no other country.
 Neutral nations in Europe, as well as South America, have bought of us things that they would have bought in England, France and German, if those nations had been in a position to fur nish them.
 The democrats frequently point to our increased imports as proof of the efficacy of the democratic tariff Again we feel the influence of the war. Neu- tral nations, except the United States, have been unable to furnish the com modities which the allies have chiefly needed; moreover the neutrals have been cut off from communication with Germany, and neutrals on this side of the Atlantic, including the United States. have found restrictions placed by Great Britain upon their trade with ! European neutrals. Thus we have had imports from neutral countries that we would not have had, if there had been no war.
 Yet, in spite of increased imports under the democratic tariff, a tariff for revenue, it has not produced the neces- | sary revenue. Since it's enactment, the administration has twice been com pelled to ask for additional revenue legislation. It has been compelled to | impose war tax upon the American | people. and it has been compelled tc l levy tax on the copper producing in- l dustry. Does the International ap-- l prove tariff system whose results
 must be supplemented by a copper ! tax?

Tempe News Notes
NO MELON FAMINE HERE

Gran Brooks, watermelon king out Kyrene way, found his way into Tempe yesterday afternoon and visited for a few hours. Over the recent week end he was down in the southern part of the state with a car load of water melons, and he was just fortunate enough to reach Douglas with the car at the same time seven other cars of melons got into the yards. And on top of that, on the very same day, the soldier boys were forced to give up eating Watermelons. It was anything but melon famine for Douglas and vicinity and the car owners were for tunate if they sold out and broke even on the deal. From his patch of eleven acres Brooks has sold a bountiful lot of melons, several cars have been shipped to various mining camps in the state. and good profits were realized, other than the time at the border camp

safe in none of them, except Arizona, did Wilson receive a majority. He was defeated by Roosevelt in California. In his own state of New Jersey, he re- ceived l7s,00O, Roosevelt and Taft 2S5,OO0. In Kentucky in the first group of states which our exchange seizes without consideration, Wilson had clear majority of only 2OOO
 Our exchange remarks that with anything like a fair share of the breaks of the game, there will occur in No- vember, the second of series of land- slides for the democratic nominees"
 The landslide in that direction is most remote, passing our calculations on the results four years ago, when Wilson had made no mistakes and when the bitterness between the repub- lican and progressive parties was stronger than the feeling of either against the democratic candidate; when, as we have said, thousands of republican votes in states where Taft's defeat had been conceded from the be- ginning, were cast for Wilson.
 It is not to be assumed that the com bined republican and progressive vote of four years ago will this year be cast for MT. Hughes. But the greater part of it will undoubtedly be cast for him. and there will be added to it the re- publican Wilson vote of 1912, to say nothing of many thousand since dis satisfied democratic voters. We, too, believe this year will witness a land slide in the great northern states. At this distance from the election consider ing the combined majority in them over Wilson four years ago, and the events that have occurred since, it seems probable that not a northern state will be found in the democratic column next November.
