ARE STILL DETERMINED.

That the people OF Bisbee are de-
termined TO so IN through with their
plans for cleaning up that mining
district, and keeping it clean, is best
shown by their actions, and the gen.
eral tone of their newspapers. The
Daily Review, one OF the most in
fluential newspapers in Arizona, is
now devoting much space to keep
ing things clean" and says;
Just because Bisbce arose in her
might and drove some twelve hun
dred redflaggers out Of the district
is no sign that the work is one. Our
real task is yet to do. WE MUST
KEEP THEM OUT. Many of the
small fry escaped the meshes of the
net. They are still here. and while
they are afraid to say very much
or do much right now, their whis-
perings and mutterings will propo-
gate dissention and spawn disciples
of unrest. They must be gathered
up. n at a time, and ousted from
the community"
As this was published only last
Saturday, it is very evident that the
determination of the good citizens
of Bisbee to be clean, and to con-
tinue clean, is an strong as it was
the day the deportation was made.
The sheriff and officials Of Bisbee
are daily making arrests OF men
who have no visible means of sup
port, and they are promptly fined
