UNKNOWN TO IRISH

A countess named Georgiana Mark ievics, Sim Fein member of parlia- ment from a Dublin division, has been arrested. How a person of the name of Markievics could claim Irish ex- traction is really beyond the ken of the ordinary American Irish.
 The countess is said to have been too active to suit the ruling govern ment and she and others were ar rested.

32 hold incancelled leases ...970, ,280
 This is but small portion of the total holdings by cattlemen and repre- sents only those leases the validity of which has been questioned. You hear everywhere that the big land and cattle interests of Arizona are against Tom Campbell this year. I am going to tell you why they are a. gainst me, and what they are trying to put over on you, the people of Ari- zona.
 I say you, because this vast, heri- tage of land, consisting of millions of acres of public land, worth millions of dollars, belongs to you and to me, to your families and to my family, to your children and my children.
 Arizona's Great Heritage
 The future of Arizona lies in her agricultural resources. The mines are wasting asset. More than one half of Arizona is tied up in Indian and forests reserves. When the state was admitted to the union, vast grant of land was made to the people of Arizona by the federal government approximately 9,000,000 acres, for the support of the public schools. This grant for school purposes in cluded Sections 2-16-32-36. in every township except when these sections are contained in the national forests and Indian reservations when the title does not pass to the state until the part of the national forests, em- braced in these sections is restored to the public domain.
 The history of all western states has been that, as the state settles up and is developed along agricultural lines, Indian reservations are gradu- ally thrown open.
 In addition to this vast grant of lands for school purposes, the govern ment gave the new state of Arizona one million acres to pay the bonded indebtedness of Maricopa, Pima, Yav- apai and Coconino counties, provided that any excess should go to the pub lie schools. The University of Ari- zona was given 100000 acres, and in addition 100000 for other state in stitutions, including the insane asy- lum, school for the deaf, dumb and blind, miners hospital reformatory, school of mines.
 The Vicious Leasing Plan
 Now these are the lands, my friends which the land board has been, through the issuance of dummy leases in one holding, delivering for a long term of years to few big outfits, thus precluding for that time, other development along agricultural lines, until many million acres have been . turned over to big holders, freezing out the small homesteader and pre- venting the intensive development of the country. We are told by the big land holder that these vast tracks can never be used for anything except grazing purposes, yet in your memory and mine we have seen thousands up- on thousands of acres heretofore be- lieved valuable for grazing only, made to produce vast crops of cotton, grain and other products, yielding hundreds of dollars to the acre, where hitherto they were considered to be worth $500 an acre or less.
 A Million Acres Lost
 Who can say that millions of acres now considered valuable for range purposes only will not be brought und- CT cultivation by the creation of great

Discussing the question involved, Governor Campbell spoke in part as follows:
 GOV. CAMPBELL'S SPEECH How many of you people here ap- preciate what a wonderful heritage you received in public lands when Arizona became a state, and which heritage IS now being gobbled up in vast estates under the leasing policy adopted by the land department, a. gainst which I, as your governor, am now engaged in a big fight? Just a few figures to show the extent of this heritage:

Tax Revision.
We condemn the failure Of the
present Congress to respond to the
oft repeated demand Of the President
and the secretaries Of the treasury tc
revise the existing tax laws. The
continuance in force in peace times
of taxes devised under pressure Of i'm.
perative necessity to produce rev.
enue for war purposes is indefensibl
and can only result in lasting injury
to the people.
We advocate tax reform and search

to fit peace conditions SO that the
wealth of the nation may not be with
drawn from wasteful or non-produc-
tive expenditure.

MORE ABOUT
OUR CANDIDATE

Dayton, Ohio, July 6.-James Mid
dleton Cox was at his newspaper pub
fishing plant when he received word
he had been nominated as the candi-
date, for president of the United
Estates by the Democratic delegates at
the San Francisco convention. IA
The governor was in small office
where he had set since 1880 p. M.
Monday with friends. AS soon as he
received reports of the forty-third
ballot, Governor Cox made the first
statement since the balloting started
Friday.
"Boys, it's all over and we have
won," he said.
Then he took pipe and tobacco out
Of his pockets and remarked
Il think | will take little smoke
now"
But before he could light the pipe
he was interrupted by shout from
the telegraph operators.
"Cox nominated" they cried.
The crowd Of men in the room surg
ed forward, caught the governor and,
with triumphant shouts, hoisted him
to their shoulders.
The governors pipe rolled on
desk, unlighted.
The men bore the nominee to his
front office, where Mrs. Cox had been
waiting all night for the convention
results.
Mrs. Cox seized her husband, kiss
ing him, and the tears streamed from
her eyes, Governor Cox relaxed from
the strain of the campaign and his
eyes filled with tears. His voice
choked with emotion and he said
nothing. .gss
Mrs. E. "A. Deeds and Miss Elinor
Parker, both of Dayton, with Mrs.
John Root and Miss Elinor West,
both of Chicago, who had been with
Mrs. Cox through the trying ordeal of
the long night, captured the governor.
They all kissed him, and they all
cried.
AT this time Cox's paper got out
an extra and the first copy was hand
ed to the governor. The newspaper
plant was filled with men who had

could create a situation where nc such
war as this could recur We cannot
make peace except in company with
our allies. Il would bring US ever
lasting dishonor and bring ruin to us
also if we undertook to make a sep

Thus to that which Mr.. Lodge, in
saner moments, considered "the black
est crime" he and his party in mad
ness sought to give the sanctity Of
law; that which eighteen months ago
was Of everlasting dishonor," the
Republican party and its candidates
today accepted as the essence of faith.
We advocate the immediate ratif-
cation Of the treaty without rcser-
vations which would impair its es-
sential integrity; but do not oppose
the acceptance of any reservations
making clearer or more specific the
obligations Of the United States to
the league assertions.
Only by doing this may . retrieve
the reputation Of this nation among
the powers Of the earth and recover
the moral leadership which President
Wilson won and which Republican
politicians at Washington sacrificed
We reject as utterly vain, if no;
vicious, the Republican assumption

covenant with any assurance that such amendments would be acceptable to the Republican administration. One feels almost, that amendments could be offered the League itself or the amendment committee with greater possibility of success than they could be to the coming administration. For the people who will conduct the-next administration do not seem to know exactly what would be acceptable to them-or if anything at all would fill that bill.
 And the worst of it is this great plan for world peace would still bear the name The League of Nations" Is it possible that with the coming in to power of our new leaders there will be born bigger sense Of the pett- ness of words?

  Europe. deep in it's diplomatic heart, knows it. There Is dim suspicion that leaders in this country. of all parties. have the vision to see that it is ndt "scrapped."-~ It is here. and the United States is part of 1t. whether sitting in it in an advisory or other capacity. or not sitting at all.
 It is possible that one of the amend ments that might be suggested would be to change the namc to "Associa- tion" of Nations. Perhaps. with other amendments. it might be favored by the administration in such case.
 At all events men in power. or to come in power. must show that they recognize the inevitable-and that in- evitable is an official participation by the United States in an organiza ton which was conceived and which will be maintained in the interest of all the world.
