The Colorado river is fast approaching the thirty-foot
mark at Y-uma. The Yuma Examiner, however, reassuringly
adds: "Don't get excited about it. It will take thirty-five
Icet to get our feet wet,"
The San Simon Belt says Urn: the ime will rome when
the mountain resorts of Arizona will be largely patronized in
summer, and the railroads will be compelled to advertise the
new state.
'The beaches may be all right for a change, and for a
short time only, but the mountains have their devotees, also,
and can well afford to compete with the beaches. The moun
tains Will be paronized to a great extent, for various reasons,
chief among1 which may be mentioned more variety, a drier
and more bracing atmosphere which invigorates and builds up
the system, less demand upon the average person f jr social
duties, and a more complete return to rature. Some of those
who take summer vacations prefer the beaches because their
physiciaus advise them that their constitutions require th eleva
tion of sea-level. But the great majority of people once in
a while, at least enjoy a high altitude. And with them noth
ing can replace the brooks, the trees, the flowers, the scenery,
the hunting, the horseback riding, the camping out, etc. They
like to be wherfi the air is cool yet not damp, where there is
freedom from the busy marts of trade, from sand and dust,
from mosquitosand fleas; where there is quiet and shade and
rest.
And few states are so blest as Arizona with mountain re
sorts and scenes appropriate for summer visiting.
The 4Sth star edition of the Phoenix Democrat was a
journalistic triumph It is a most creditable edition reflecting
honor upon itspublishersand ati achievement which that veter
an and able Arizona editorial champion, John Dunbar, may
wsll contemplate with pride. The edition is a comprehensive
compendium of Arizona resources and a mirror of her com
mercial supremacy and wonderful mineral and agricultural de
velopments. The Prospector doffs its hat to the Democrat
and its 48th star edition and congratulates our neighbor upon
its signal journalistic enterprise.

of noise about an election this fall. Noise and a little fun is
all they will get out of the election anyway, and they might as
well get it now as after the battle.
Ihe Democratic state candidates have honestly and eon
scienciously earned a re-election. Arizona has every reason
to be proud of her state officials.
Champ Clark received ten out of every eleven votes cast
iu Arizona. Who says Arizona isn't for the '"noun' dawg?"
It has been" held by a Pennsylvania judge that a woman
whose husband has remained away from her for twenty-seven
years is a widow. We assume that when a woman becomes
a widow in that way it is not strictly necessary for her to dress
in mourning.
Down in San Antonio, Texas, the people recently cele
biated "onion day." We are informed that since Texas has
begun supslying Bermuda onions
of the peopld down there wish to have the motto on the shield
of the state changed to read. "In onion there is strength."
John Sharp Williams has been figuring and he finds it
costs the country $6 for each bath that is taken by United
States senators in the bathrooms for them in the new senatorial
offices. It is hoped the senators will, now that the hot weath
er is setting in, bathe more often and thus reduce the average
cost per bath.
The sweet girl graduate and the June bride have the cen
ter of the stage just now. in spite of the noise the politicians
are making.
Because Champ Clark has a daughter named Genevieve
some of the republican papers are declaring that he cannot
rightly represent the plain "peepul" Mr Clark wanted to
name her May and Mrs Clark wanted to name her Genevieve,
This is a secret which has been told among the friends of the
lamiiy 111 mibbuuri iur yeurs.
Congressman Hayden has just written the following let
ter to the newspapers of Arizona:
"I have just witnessed the signing of the three-year
homestead bill by President Taft. Will mail a copy of a the
act as soon as it is printed. The Secretary of the Interior
is required to mail a copy of the act to every homestead entry
man and notification giving him to option of .making final
proof under this or the old law. CARL H A YDEN."
The loyalty of the Arizona solons can no longer be ques
tioned. '1 he way they have heriocally braved the Phoenix
weather to remain at their posts in convincing proof to every1
Cochise resident of their unswerving patriotism.
The Mexican revolution will have to make a little more
noise than it has been making lately, if it expects to attract any
particular attention while the American political conventions
are holding the board.
The primary election bill provides that names of all can
didates shall be printed on one ballot and that there -shall not
be a separate ballot for each political party as in the last, pri
mary. This comes mighty near to an educational qualifica
tion bill for a voter who rannot read will have difficulty in
casting a correct ballot.
A Chicago woman who sued her husband for non-support
was told by Judge Goodnow to go home and cook meals for
the man. She has probably decided to come out in favor of
the recall 6f the judges.
