COME NEAR FOR PROTECTION
Why Birds Prefer TO Make Their Nests
in Proximity to Human
Habitatlons.

What is the real explanation Of the
fact that so many Of our birds nest
so near our dwellings and yet show
such unfriendliness when we come
nenr themI Their apparent confidence,
on the one hand. contradlcts their sus.
plol0n on the other. Is Il because we
have here the workings Of new Ia.

atlnot Of snlioilule f0P the safety Of the
nest Rpd yQung9 Ny own intsrpreta,
tlan 70 that hirdG are not drawn near
Us by any sense Of greater security In
our Vicinity. It Is evident from the
start that there Is an initial fear of
gsst9 be3RYeroome. How, then, could
tbs sense Of greater safety in our pres
enee arise? Fear and trust do not
spring from the same root. Hunted ami
mails pursued by wolves or hounds will
at times take refuge in the haunts of
men, not because they expect human
protection, but because they are des-
perate, and OhliviOus to everything save
some means Of escape. If the hunted
deer or fox rushes into open shed or
a barn door, it is because it Is desper-
ately hard pressed, and sees and knows
nothing but some object or situation
that It may place between itself aud
its deadly enemy. The great fear nb-
litei1tes all minor fears.-IOhn BIZ.

Why Judges Should Visit Prisons.


Lord PhillimOre, late lord justice Of
appeal, holds that 1t is part OF the
duty Of judges to visit prisons from
time to time. "In this way" he said
to an interviewer, "a Judge gets to
know what prison is like, and what the
punishment he metes out entails to
those be has to sentence"
Lord PhillimOre has been on the
treadmIll and has seen men working
on It. The suggestion recently put to
an American judge, that judges on
their elevation should serve a term

Ancient Remedy for Tooihaehe.

seeds With cement used as a fill-

Elect Ernest Hall Secretary of State

We believe that the people will elect Ernest Hall secretary state Tuesday; that they will elect him not only his splendid record citizen. member of the legislature and service but because they believe that is as essential that his opponent Mr. Ross should be defeated it is that Mir simms should be defeated if there is to be form in the administration of the state lands If either MT. simms Ross should be elected there will be reform; the old methods and policies will prevail and the people will be helpless Both these candidates committed to the present regime.
 Mir Ross title candidate is seriously clouded. There possibility that if it would be found that he was eligible candidate and that he would be disqualified There is contest against his candidacy. It is charged that the primary altered in five counties his favor. It certain that for nearly after the primary 1t was believed that Mir Ross had been defeated; there doubt about that. It therefore with surprise that was received from this and that section that the the lie all that had been procured by the most careful news-gath- ering agencies.
 The inspection of the ballots the initial step in the has already disclosed alterations of the ballots in precincts. plain that there been tampering with them. Many suspicious things have been developed.
 The contest. of course. can do his opponent in the primary. Judge Wheeler no good candidate That is not the purpose of it. It cannot deter mine before the election the eligibility negibity of Mir. Ross
 But the purpose of the contest is to purify the polls it determined fraud has been com. mitted it is proposed ascertain who committed it and prosecute the guilty parties with the suit that henceforth elections may be unattended by fraud
 But we not asking for the election of MT. Hall on the weakness of Mir. Ross but because of his own worthness. man who has made good, who left his place in the legislature after honorable service there enter the military service of his country abroad this recognition from the voters of Arizona.

SUNDAY MORNING, OCTOBER 8I Ig-V Life is not merely staying above ground.
 W. T. McElveen.
Tn. Psopl. Must Do It.

If the ground work of a state good roads system is not laid next Tuesday by the adoption by the people of the state highway department bill there will not be another chance to lay 1t within the next two years. It is hopeless to expect anything from the legislature with all the pulling and hauling ana the confusion of politics there.
 The people want good roads, they want state good roads system good roads machinery entirely divorced from politics. That is what the state high way department bill BIO promises to give
 The bill is the work of trained good roads men. acting with the of legal advice, and it has the approval of experts who place good roads before everything else It was designed continually to guard against introduction of politics into the good roads machinery
 If provides that the work of building a state highway shall be under commission of five not more than three of whom shall be of one political party. The first commissioners are appointed for one, two. three five years, the term of one member expiring every year, that after the first appointments only two members be appointed within the term of any governor.
 In conformity the partisan object sought, Governor Campbell though he would have opportun- ity to do so in the event adoption of the bill has pledged himself unless he should be reelected to leave the appointments his after Jan uary l. next.
 Notsoniy is tke bill designed clear road build ing of politics. it is designed free it of the conflicts between counties and between the state and the counties resulting often in the construction of roads where they not needed as a compromise between selfish plans roads at extortonate cost
 It is proposed to make of our road building system what great extent though not yet wholly, we have done of school system.-a coordinated thing.
 The bill in short is to save the money of the tax payers. to give earlier and better roads; to bring tho parts closer together to increase the value of That surely is worth working for and voting for

A soomersna

Alike ridiculous and despcable is the recent cir- cuIation, it is said, the authority of the state Democratic committee. in the southeastern part of Arizona of a typewritten document in which 1t stated uhat negro blood flows in veins of Senator Harding.
 The ridiculousness the of this circular is in the fact that 1t devised by the national Demo cratic committee circulation only in southern states from Texas cast to the Atlantic and from ohio river to the Gulf. It has been found nowhere in the eastern middle or western states, and 1t not intended for distribution in Arizona which, of course. is recognized a southern state. with It's population made up by immigration from all parts of the country. mainly from the northern states
 Nor was the circular intended for distribution among the intelligent classes the south, but only for the edification of the cracker" those who dwell among the sticks" in southeastern Texas
 This circular was the most convincing proof of the desperation of the democratic committee, it's fear of a Republican break into the solid south. That, of would not alter the result of the campaign this year. The Republicans do need the south or any part of it to win To retain it would add nothing to Democratic chances. But if this year the solid south should be broken into 1t would per haps be mended and could never again be counted Democratic bloc"
 Such circular could not be distributed among northern Democrats It would disgust them and turn them in droves into the stampede which is al- ready under way to Harding. The national Demo- cratic committee is composed entirely of fools. and it knows that it could oser grosser insult to the intelligent members of it's party than in the distribution to them of such a circular
 The fact that the democratic state committee is circulating it among the Democrats of southeastern Arizona large number of whom have come from Texas and other southern states is a of the committees estimate the intelligence of the Demo crats of cochise. Graham s=5 Greenlee counties We imagine the Democrats of those sections will resent that estimate.
 There is no negro blood in Senator Harding, no Chinese no Japanese no Hindu. He good old God fearing Scotch stock which planted in Central Ohio three generations and has flourshed there since in rural communities The Scotch in Senator Harding is pronounced, straight, broad shouldered rugged of countenance, strong features, chin and jaw and straight iron hair. If he swarthy enough he might be taken for one of the Indian heroes of James Fennimore Cooper.
 The nausea produced by the circulation of this ridiculous type-written statement put out by the Democratic committee ought to increase the Harding vote in this state by some thousands
 We were called by telephone by a lady yesterday morning who wanted to know whether it true ss she had been told that Senator Harding was a Catholic So far as we concerned it would
