BRADNER BISBEE BISBEE BISBEE DOUGLAS DOUGLAS DOUGLAS LOWELL TOMBSTONE DOS CABEZOS BENSON OPTIMISTIC There Is an evident feeling of opti mism now prevailing throughout Arl zona and business men are Jubilant over the good prospects for in creased trade and consequent pros perity during the approaching fall season of the present year. This spirit of optimism is not unfounded.. Already many strangers are coming to the territory for the purpose of looking after opportunities for profit 'able investment and business in the new state. The unsettled valleys of the territory are still the object of many homeseekers and the land offi cers' of the territory are kept busy making out homestead entry papers. Our mineral industry was never more inviting than today. The enor mous copper output of Arizona is coming from only a few proca prop erties and there are others promising as much for the future which arc ircnow undes devsiopmnt requiring heavy'outlays for smelters, mills and all manner of reduction machinery. The splendid recent rains have put the cattle industry on "easy" street for another year and this industry brings heavy sumc of money to the channels of trade annually. It is estimated that more than one million dollars was returned to Cochise coun ty for the shipments of the1 present year. New proposed railroad extensions are believed to be in sight for the near future, including- a fine of the El Paso and Southwestern to Tucson and Phoenix, the completion of the San Carlos cut-off line of the Ari zona Eastern and probably the com pletion of that line into Douglas. All these lines will result in the open ing up of new districts, now Isolated. adding much to the olume of industry and enterprises. Tho approval of Arizona's const! tution, (probably next spring, thus completing our statehood program .will put new life into every Industry and enterprise in the territory: it will mean immigration to the new state, just as statehood has brought immigration lo other newly admitted states; it will mean more cultivated - farms, more developed mines, addi tional manufacturing enterprise's"; more new railroads and a new condi tion of prosperity. The present optimistic feeling throughout tho territory Is fully war rated. We will soon be able to sing the sweet song- "Hard times come again no more." VOTER8 ARE DETERMINED AND UNALTERABLE . Aside from the presence of Post master General Hitchcock there has been no one from the outside to In terfere In the matter of selecting citizens of Arizona who shall write the constitution of the new state. Hitchcock has been piloted over the territory by federal officeholders and mjr incorporated in tie funda heads of the republican machine andJBeatal law of Arizona without an7 whlle he -claims to be present slapir to take his usual vacation in the ter-1 ritory, still he has not been silent and on several occaateM has spoken regarding the Ariaeaa constitution and hi remarks sate. It -plain that In connection with his vacation jmJ nake-dasce direr ion be is taking a promlnerit part in the direction of-tho republican campaign 'which. Is being waged to strangle the democratic proposition to placethe state govern ment of Atlzona In the hands and under the everlasting control of the people by Inserting in that consti tution tho Initiative and referendum. Mr. Hitchcock is a suave and pol ished gentleman and one who has had long training in political ma chines, now being at the head of the republican national committee, as well as at the head of the postomce department In President's Taft's cab inet. That he was a friend of the Arizona statehood bill all must ugreo and should be grateful to him for his assistance but Arizona does not need his advice as to who shall be chosen to write our constitution, or as to what shall or shall not be put into this document That Is a matter fin which the people of Arizona alone have an interest and they are emi nently qualified to perform the work now In hand. It has been pleasing to note that General Hitchcock has refused to Join in the effort of the republican newspapers In Arizona to scare tho people by the declaration that Pre Ident Taft will refuse to approve a Constitution carrying an Initiative and referendum provision. Hitchcock frankly admits that ho does not know and cannot say what the president will de regarding the constitution of Arizona and New Mexico. Presi dent Taft himself has refused to put his sanction on the scare-crow cam paign of the republicans of Arizona. "Whether or not the Arizona con stltution will contain the lnitlatlv e and referendum and other popular modern principles of government which will take tho legislative power from the political bosses and ma chines and place It in the hands of the people will depend on who is' elected to the convention next Mon day. If the democrats are successful at the polls the initiative and refer endum, a direct primary election system, to Include the choosing of United States senators and one or two other progressive matters equal ly as popular will "be written into the constitution. If the republicans win control of the convention these meas-ureS-Vwill be left out. This is the plain statement of the Issues of the campaign; there is none other. It is for the voters to say now whether they wEl be pulled around by the nose by republicans who are fighting popular government in Arizona and giving as an excuse that Taft will no permit Arizona to have this popular government which would be assured by the Initiative and referendum. But neither the alarm of the plun- derbund press, the presence of Hitch cock or the presence of anyone else who may be Imported from afar will swerve the people of this territory In their determination to have such a constitution as they desire. Sabe? WHAT WILL PASS. Only the republican editors In Ari zona who are under the direction of the republican machine and controlled by Frank Hitchcock are Joining in the attempt to scare the pople of Arizona Into voting the republican ticket The editor of the Oasis at Nogalea, who has expressed his op position to the Initiative and refer endum principle of direct legislation, and a republican In the ranks of the leaders of that party is not alarmed at any danger of losing statehood be cause of the incorporation of the in itiative and referendum In the con stitution. Read the following from tho Oasis, which quotes President Taft who In his Oklahoma speech of fered no opposition to the initiative and referendum as a principle of government: "With the power of veto of the proposed state constitution of Arizona vested by tho enabling act In the president and congress there Is much speculation and thete has been no Httle misrepresentation as to what powers placed in the fundamental law sent up to Washington would causo Interposition of the veto. The Oasis believes the scope and intention of the enabling act may bo interpreted Hberally.

With, such an arrangemeat the writer believes that the presi dent and congress will not reject a constitution Incorporating those prin ciples. Frequently there are quoted President Taft's untterances at Phoe nix and Albuquerque with regard to the kind of a constitution he hoped to see adopted In either Arizona or New Mexico. Inf neither of these speeches did he arraign the three principles cited. At another time he made a speech at Oklahoma City, Had. Mr. Taft opposed those princi ples es unfit to inject Into state con stitutions he would have uttered his objections In his speech in Ok' lahoma City when ho set out to tackle' the proposed constitution of that state. An examination of that speech however, shows that It is not the initiative and referendum that he inveighs against or that prompted him to consider the document a 'zoo logical garden of cranks.' His speech plainly condemned the intervention of a Jury In Injunctions; ho com mented upon the heavy expense the state would be subjected to In the unnecessary number of offices cre ated by the constitution; he enu merated provisions that are clearly matters of statutory law; he ap proved the restrictions concerning corporations, but thought much of that would be better in the statutes: he referred to the initiative and Tef erendnm clauses as going much fur ther than those of any other states and he expressed his fear that be cause of confusing technicalities and the lack of proper restrictions the matter would prove doubtful in Its results. It should be noted that ho did not assail the principle nor deny that the right of the people to rescind the action of their repreesntatlves should be safeguarded in the constitution. nor that tho same was compatible with the axiomatic provision in all our state constitutions that ultimate sovereignty resides in the people. "In effect he clearly approved the principle, and commended, it when properly restricted. It is an error to assume that a principle Is fallacious on the ground that It Is enunciated In the Oklahoma constitution. It Is a mistake to enlist Taft In the fight against this popular movement and to represent that he will veto our constitution if the initiative and referendum are contained in it It is a clear case of -misrepresentation "Further than this, it is doubtful If President Taft in his eminent sense of consistency would veto a con stltution which contains provisions to which he is opposed. Note his "atti tude In OV. City. Talt was then in Roosevelt's cabinet: "I disclaim any authority to spenk on the subject of the validity or In validity of the constitution for the reason that the function that the president would perform in deciding to approve It or not is Judicial one. as It is his part to judge wheth er the proposed constitutions conforms to the enabling act and the const! tution of the United States. "It Is not the function of the president to reject the constitution merely because he does not approve its wisdom and does not like Us provisions from a political point of view. My attitude Is that of a citi zen putting himself In the place of a citizen of Oklahoma and advising the republicans of Oklahoma in respect or otherwise, of adopting the constitution whose rejection is a great deal easier than to amend It so as to eliminate its defects.' "The Oasis holds that there is no call for rodomontade In discussing what provisions should be incorpor ated In the proposed constitution, or what should not be mentioned lest It be rejected at Washington. Let the discussion be upon a high plane. Let the people of Arizona by taking thought and consultation determine what they need In their fundamental law, and put It In. The sound sense and reason of the people and their delegated representatives In the con vention will dictate surely what will be good for the state, and will also pass congress." PASSING OF PUBLIC GAMBLING. The gambler is slowly but surely being pushed off the stage of action. It has been only a few years since gambling was a legally recognized occupation in the western states and In every city and town the gambler pursued that business without any more disturbance than the butcher. the baker or those engaged In any other occupation or line of business. It Is different now. One western state after another passed laws mak ing gambling a crime, and the faro. roulette, and operators of other per centage games were driven out enaction cf anti-gambling laws. Since Nevada was the last to join in the Arizona and New Mexico forbado gambling Nevada was the only state left In the Union where tho gambler might pursue his calling. Now Ne vada has -e-sscd lin door against this harmful evil. The Nevada law be- au tne gambling house In that state - ,... v ... .. ... mo veca chjsob. ucoa: I The gamblers pat up a streaaoas t hi 7 of the state a taey .

Driven from his occupation In pub lic under a license the gamblers in some Instances have attempted to continue action under the privacy of back rooms, but this has proven unprofitable, so that now, as far as Arizona is concerned, he may, be re tarded as practically out of business. There may be a private poker game here or there, but they are not under the control of the professional gam bler. So that now the thousands of dol lars which formerly went to support a horde of professional gamblers In Douglas and other cities In Arizona is used for providing and sup porting more .comfortable homes and riotous and extravagant living has passed away and it Is hoped never to return. TO TIE THE HANDS OF THE MAJORITY. The Globe, Arizona Silver Delt, which recently changed owners and politics, delivers a severe lecture to the democrats of Arizona because they did not accede to wishes of tho republicans and send uninstructed delegates to the constitutional con vention as the republicans claim to have done. It Is usually a safe rule followed by the democrats both in Arizona and elsewhere to find out just what It Is the republicans would have them do, then do the other thing. This may, possibly, have been tho reason why the democrats of the territory instructed their candidates for delegates to the constitutional convention, and if It was, It was the wise thing to do politically. But it was more probably done in ac cordance with the cardinal doctrine of the democratic party that the people should rule. It is not the purpose, we appre hend, of.,Jhe demochats of Arizona, any more'than It Is of the democrats of any '"other ""state or territory, to send uninstructed delegates to any constitutional convention, or other convention that Is to pass upon the rights of the peoplt. The Instructed delegation Is the despair of the boss, Just as the un instructed delegation Is his delight The Instructed delegate knows exactly what the people he represents want and Is going to follow those Instruc tions despjte the poweri of the toss and tbe allurements he may bring to bear to lead them to betray the people. It is not sui prising that the re- publicans should desire uninstructed delegates to the constitutional con vention, forv their ulterior purpose Is to secure -fpr the two new states con stitutions that will perpetuate boss rule, open avenues for continued graft and leave, the people with limited power and 'circumscribed rights and ' f very few of them. El Paso Times. NOTHING TO SUPPORT REPUBLICAN HOWL. The republican papers continue to boldly declare that President Taft will turn down any constitution framed in Arizona which includes the initiative and referendum, though they have nothing form Pres ident Taft,' or anyone else outside of the offices of the carpetbag editors of the territory, who continue to re iterate the statement "President Taft, when appealed to to say some thing which might help the republi cans in the present campaign; some thing that could bo used to head olf the strong and growing -sentiment In favor of popular government, as em bodied in the initiative and referen dum principle, replied to the editor of the Tucson Citizen, simply refer ring to the speeches made by the president when he was in Arizona and New Mexico last year. In none of these speeches was to be found anything about the Initiative or refer endum, for or against It. When Post master (General Hitchcock reached Phoenix last week the direct ques tion was put to him by a newspaper man of that city: "Will President Taft disapprove Arizona because of a provision for the initiative and referendum V Mr. Hitchcock stated that he did not know and could not state what the president would do. and referred the questioner to the Taft speeches in Arizona. These speeches are familiar to our people and contain nothing which could be construed to mean that he was op posed to the Initiative and referen dum being provided for in the con stitution. What Taft naid was directed asataet the; Oklahoma constitution, re ferri to K M a collection of "aoc- toatad freak." OttaheeM' eesatl- tutiea a 4Wpag book asd contains all aanneriof purely legisla tive enactments which have no place In a constitution. No one In Arizona Is favoring such a constitution, but! t so far as tho democrats are con cerned they want matters which be long to the legislature to be left for the legislature, but they do want the fundamental principle of the in itiative and referendum in the con stitution so that the people of tho state, now and hereafter may hold absolute control of their lawmakers, having the power to say what laws shall be passed and what shall not be passed. Because the democrats contend for this popular plan of controlling legis lation by the people, which has been endorsed by three or four republican conventions. Including Cochise, Santa Cruz and Gila, the plunderbund re publican machine newspapers declare that if democrats control the conven tion and put the Initiative and ref erendum into the constitution Taft will refuse to approve It and leave Arizona a territory. These papers persist in this silly talk, notwithstanding the fact that neither the president nor anyone for him has ever said an) thing of the kind. THE PEOPLE WILL RULE. The chief charm of direct legisla tion the initiative, referendum and recall is that it makes boss rule im possible and graft a tradition. That has been demonstrated by the practi cal application of this theory of po litical economy. Another of its winning features is that it is a recognition of the Inher ent right of the citizen of a republic to an active part In the government It Is not an abstract proposition nor an untried theory, but has' had practical demonstration and been proven a panacea for political Ills and a corrective for political errors as well as a safeguad for the com monwealth. There is no longer any doubt that the right of the people to rule under the initiative and referendum and re call will be written In the constitu tion of both Arizona and New Mexico and since it Is evident that the peo ple will rule both conventions, it Is lnconsequental whether the republi cans or democrats shall nominally control, for the practical effect of tho domlnition of the people's ideas is to make both conventions non-partisan. El Paso Times. VTTORNEY TAFT. Before his assumption of the du ties of the presidency Mr. Taft's qualifications were generally estimat ed as distinctly judicial. He was re garded a3 best adapted by tempera- meni ana latent ior tne worlc of a judge and but for the fact that the function of a national chief execu tive is not radically inconsistent with that of a Judge he would have been considered as committing a serious mistake when he put aside the op portunity of becoming a supreme court justice for the chance of becom ing president But that it was a serious mistake his course in the White House has amply demonstrated. Instead of meeting the expectations of the coun try that he would be the. first of all the president of the country, his ef forts have been directed toward fur thering the partisan fortunes of a po litical party. Unwilling to make the effort to lead that party from the mire In. which it has fattened, he has resigned himself to remalnlne with it In the mire and devoting his energies and ofllce to keeping others of Its members from moving forward to more -solid ground. It Is, In short, neither as a judge nor as a presi dent, that we have latterly known Mr. Taft, but as an attorney; for from the day of the passage of the Payne tariff act, which hs defended not because it was such an act as he thought it should have been, but because it was necessary for republi can success that all republicans should stand by It, ho has not ap peared before- the public except In the role of attorney for the republi can party. His letter to McKInley, following closely his letter to Gris com, Is but 'the latest of these ac tivities. It will be exploited that the party campaigners, as it was Intend ed to be, in their struggle to retain the offices, but, beyond the thick-and-thln republicans. It will have little effect The public soon learns what weight to give the pleadings and ar guments of partisan attorneys, and for some time It has been forced to realize that the nominal president of DEMOCRATIC Dates when Democrat'c candidates will speak in CcT chise County on the subject of Arizona's Constitution are as follows: Tuesday September 6 Wednesday September 7 Thursday September 8, Friday September 9, Saturday September 10, faJLV i J I Oil KS iky BarbaraSiBoudlSSa Three Watchwords of Success. A writer of the biography of ont of the country's great men, great In his business success and great In his work for humanity, says that his first employers gave the following three qualifications as the reason why he so early attracted attention in 'business: "His enthusiasm, his en tire thoroughness, and his faculty of application." These are without doubt three of the watchwords of success in the business world. An employer likes enthusiasm, not merely effervescent spirits that mean nothing and accom plish nothing, nor a fussy, ovtr zcalousness that Is continually med dling in things that are none of Its concern. But he likes the deep, sin cere enthusiasm that takes as much Interest in the genuine welfare of his business as he does himself. En thusiasm is catching, and the em ploye who is enthusiastic about his employer's business makes others be lieve In it He arouses a feeling of goodwill for It wherever he goes. Few things are more valuable In the business world than cntirethorough 3 ess. The peace and satisfaction that come to an employer when he finds an employe who Is entirely thorough are beyond words to describe. If an employe wants to make himself valu able, let him cultivate entire thor oughness. He will become more prec- .lous to the busy man of affairs than the stocks and bonds In the strong box. A man may not have original ity, or the qualities of leadership. tho United States is In reality merely a partisan attorney. Tw i miYnhnf- of Aftrs LttCIllSe county has been wltnoui jusi rep- ' resentatlon In our legislatures. ai the last election, held In 190S Co- chUe county polled more votes than any other county in Arizona, still It onlv has three members of the leeis- laturc while at least nun countv.had as much strength In the legislature, referendum and are now claiming with not half as many votes as Co-jthat the corporations want the Initia chlse. All this will be remedied byltIve and referendum to he used In an equitable apportionment of the I Initiating laws for their own benefit legislative bodies to be provided In tho constitution for the first legisla ture of the new state. The size of the legislature will be for the con sideration of the constitutional con vention, In which Cochise county will have more delegates than any other county. Should a council be provided of 18 members and a house of 24 members, a total of 42, on the same basis of representation that fixed the members of the constitutional conven tion, Cochise county would be en titled to a total of eight members, probably one member of the council and seven members of the house. It will be pleasing to finally see Co chise county receive an equitable leg islative representation. In Graham county the democrats nominated X. R. Peterson as a can didate for delegate to the constitu tional convention. Mr. Peterson df clined because of his private duties and Hon. H. T. Webb has been sub stituted on the ticket to fill the va cancy. Mr. Webb is regarded as a man "of splendid ability and his pres ence In the constitutional conven tion will be cause for gratiflcatloa. He has twice represented Graham county in the legislature with distin guished ability, being speaker of the house In the twenty-third session. The Tucson Citizen Is th'o most reckless newspaper In Arizona when It comes to making false campaign statements. Tne Citizens declares that the democratic platform In Co chise county was written by political bosses, with the purpose of defeating statehood. Such a statemeat la too ridiculous to, be dignified by the at tention of anyone acquainted with the - a BILLIES Benson St. David Tombstone Douglas Bisbee executive ability or initiative, but If! he makes thoroughness his long suit he will not fall so far behind the giants of the business world. Thor-, oughness Is a necessity- The third quality this great man In question had was the faculty of application. He could stick to a Job until he saw it through. If It was a set of books he had to straighten; out, no matter what long hours he put in on them, nor how many times he went over those columns of dull, uninteresting figures, he applied him-" self diligently to the task before him. and never quit until it was satlsrac-' torlly finished. Many a man has "failure" written to his name, be cause of this lack of the faculty of application. He didn't stick long enough. It was too much of a grind.1 He couldn't put his whole heart-and. soul Into the work before him. no matter what it is and see it through. ' Success is not easy to win. Down underneath the glitter and glory of the finish Is usually found some such prosaic, dull, colorless work as this. Those who succeed may seem to have accomplished success easily. They' may not speak of the hard, gray, years. But they were there. And, those who want to go forward to a, like success should take for their! ntng anyway, these same prosy fel-! constant companions, at the begin- lows, application, thoroughness, en thusiasm. 7-u-a-7-f creation of the, Jemopratic platform m this county and it is only mentioned to give to the people of this county n nr-rrar Irion rtt thn rnMher nf th CIMzpti and Its abnormal eaoaeitr for -,.. disseminating falsehood.

Without making a single promise to the peo ple themselves they are devoting their every energy to befuddle the people on the straightforward Issue raised by the democrats. It Is Intimated by the republican or gan that some able speakers arc to be brought Into Cochise county by the republican managers.

That Is why there is such widespread alarm rjneng the federal office holders and machine republicans. Speaking of the presence of Post master General Hitchcock, Cameron, Sames and others of the standpat re publican machine in Yuma, the Sun cf that city, Is led to remark: "01 course none of the distinguished re -lied up in foreign countries, all the "evenues of the nation will not be efficient to meet the Interest As It '3 the country Is running behind now every year; the immense foreign ex penditure always keeping a feeling of uncertainty upon the minds of monled men where i It going to end! - n i''$l:J-mjn - , "The Girl on Tripple X and "Brave Hearts" are two great western dra mas.
