AFTER THE BATTLE.
The election passed off all over the
territory in the greatest quiet so far
as we hnve been oble to learn. It is
in marked contrast with the result in
many places where the people has
been taught to believe that a perfect
civilization exists, Here in Arizona
among the so-called “undesirable
citizen?" the best of feeling prevails
even on election days, and the judg
ment and conduct at the polls is taken
to be the wisdom 'of the voter and his
right to act upon it is not thought to
b 8 defied him. In older settlements
tiiat “free and go easy" feeling is not
so common, and just in proportion as
it disappears its place is occupied
with the spirit of selfishness that acts
out the political pharisee to a degree
that fairly disgusts the ‘ Arizona
Kicker." It, is deserving of criticism
that the State of non-combatant
Dunkards and Friends shall stand at
the head of the list as being the scenes
of the worst behavior on election day
and tl\e most restricted latitude ex
tended to the judgment, conduct and
feelings of the voter. In Arizona
every voter is a sovereign within him
self, and 4 is out of the question for
there to be a conflict when the spirit
of independence thus prevails in all
parties. The liberty loving citizen
of this fair Italian climate could not
develop otherwise than into a full
souled, big hearted lover of his fellow
man and the institutions of his
country, among which is not a disre
gard of the opinion of his neighbor
and fellow citizens. Arrests for il
legal voting and bribery will be con
fined to the stores that falsely assert
thpir superiority in intelligence and
fine sensibilities, while Arizona, sen
sible of the fact that her school houses
are as-commodious and well equipped
as any in the East, anid her children
as bright in intellect as any the sun
eyer shone upon, goes straight for the
head of the class unswerVed and un
harmed by all the hard sayings so
fondly quoted by the press of the
East. N[o matter who wins the elec-
H • iv * ♦ • •
tion no Arizonian will declare busi
ness off, but will fully respect the
choice of the majority as the decree of
dogtiny, and the will of the inevitable.
He is a traitor to his county who will
warp the general will by evil desire,
cunning chicanery or threats of foul
disaster. Now that the great people
hive marked out the line ot progress
along which the whqle epunty must
move for the next four years, is it not
the duty of everyone, whether he was
or whs not in sympathy with the pre
vailing politics, to take off his coat
and roll up his sleeves and labor hand
in hand that the paost may be realized
as the result of the verdict of the peo -
ple. Let there be no skulking, no
backsliding and no intimidation
against a plain duty. The lessons of
good citizenship, of free ballot and
fair count as practiced in Arizona
will yet enable her to take her place
among the respective states of the
union, and be an everlasting example
of good behavior to the older states
j that with it will maka up the greatest
I nation on eartji
It is useless to sit around and grieve
over defeat. Governor is
not the kind of a man that will in
dulge in such foolish pastime. The
governor is, and has always been a
strong, ardent advocate of statehood
and the defeat of the republican ticket
will not affect his determination to
give his aid to statehood for Arizona.
The men who would vote against
ever\ interest of Arizona, who preser
a democratic delegate to this priceless
boon cannot and should not be con -
sidered in this matter, but the pro
gressive, pushing men who dut poli-
tics aside and voted for Covernor
Murphy are deserving of consideration
at the hands of Governor Murphy and
bis loyal friends.—Gazette.

SUPREME COURT.
Thursday morning at 10 o'clock the
Supreme Court was formally opened,
Chief Justice Street and Associate
Justice Doan and Davis on the bench.
For some unknown reason Justice
Sloan failed to arrive from Prescott.
On motion of W. H. Stilwell John
F. Ross of Idaho and E. W. Lewis of
Phoenix were admitted to practioe.
Several motions were made in
several ca«es, principally with refer
ence (o the filing of briefs and in each
case 30 days was allowed Chief
Justice Street announced it as the
rule that bjiefs must be filed on the
first day of an adjourned term. Ihe
attorneys generally seemed to have
absorbed the id a that such filing was
only necessary on the first day of each
regular term.
Recess was then tah*n>
A famous surgeon of France has
come to the conclusion that the
greatest pain a man is ever called
upon to endure is to have a tooth
drawn and that all stories of the hor-
Vi A
rible pain suffered by the wounded
upon the battle field or those operated
upon at the hospitals are figments of
the imagination. The nerves will
only transmit pain up to a certain
point of intensity such as the pain of
a tootheachr, but any pqin exceeding
that in intensity is. nbt transmitted
and has merely a stupefying effect. It
ought to he a satisfaction to one with
a toothache to know that he is en
during the greatest pain that is pos
sible for a human being to bear.
Much of Arizona's future, like the
future of other parts of the so-called
arid region, depends upon the pushing
of irrigation projects. The people) are
aliye to the necessity of irrigation on
a large scale, however, and there is
every indication that the young,active,
territory will go on growing in wealth
and population until it can no longer
be kept out of the sisterhood of states.
—Denver Republican.
The Gazette has this to say in re
gard to the contest for Probate Judge:
One of the surprising results of the
election was the defeat of N. A. Mor
ford for probata judge. Judge Mqr
ford is a deserving, competent man
and was surely deserving of an elec
tion. We have nothing but good,
however, to say about the fortunate
opponent. Judgo Langston is a first
class young man. He is sober, indus
trious, learned in the law and a very
capable, trustworthy } oung man and
we feel that he will hsnof th© position
of probate judge.
Circumstances alter cases. If you
ask aman for an ad or a local he will
•.ell you he doesn’t believe in adver
tising, a paper is never read, says one
of our exchanges. But let him Be
caught hugging the hired girl or strug
gling with a jug of “tamarind” water,
if the office is in the garret of a
twenty strry bujlding he will climb
to the top and ask thp editor not to
publish it in the paper where every
body will read it.
It is a fact not generally known

for ten years, and later was extended
to another ten years, which is now

V " THE ELECTIftSfe. “ *
•* •* m /*,.•»
The elections passed off very quietly
last Tuesday with the following re
sults.
The Republicans have carried the
national election by large and in'-
creased majorities, and McKinley i»
Mark Smith was elected by al ma
jority of about 500 as Delegate.
The County election was somewhat
mixed, but the Democrats have all
the offices except that the Republicans
have elected Chaa. W. Barnett as Aa*
lessor, A. J. Edwards, District. At
torney, and B. A. Fowler, as As
semblyman.
The vote in Mesa precinct was 300.
Straight tickets,especially Democratic,
was the order of the day.' The local
democratic nominees received a good
many complimentary Republican
votes, but the Republican local 'nom
inees did not fare quite as well.
The returns that Phoenix and
surrounding country strongly sup
ported their local candidates, to some
extent regardless of party, although
it is hard to figure dut the cause of
the results as things were very mixed.
On the Republican side in Mesa
Barnett, Mock and Shewman ran
ahead of ticket, while on the
Democratic side Hunsaker, Peterson
and Fulton were the favored ones.
Mauk, for Recorder, 'is defeated by
about 250. Shewman. for Repre
sentative, is defeated by a narrow
margin, having run somewhat ahead,
of his ticket. Peterson is elected, but
his majority is unknown at present.
A. Hunsaker, democratic nominee
for Supervisor, is eleoted. He is a
good man, and will no doubt make a
good and conscientious officer.
Ye Editor didn’t get enough votes
to put him in the {legislature, but be
received a handsome vote and at this
time desires to thank all his friends'
* , •
and supporters for their kindly aid in
the late political struggle.
WOULD ASSIST THE WEST.
The Eastern business teen are gen- *
uinely alive to the importance ol
Western arid land reclamation is
shown by the continuous press re
ports of the actions of business and
commercial organizations endorsing
the national irrigation movement, and
urging the reclamation of the arid
region. The recent action of the
executive committee of the National
Business League at Chicago, whose
membership represent tens of millions,
is an example. Strong
were adopted urging upon Congress
the preservation and development of
national resources by the
tion of storage reservoirs by the
Federal Government for flood protec
tion and to save for use in aid of
navigation and irrigation the f flood
waters Mhich now run to waste and
cause overflow and destruction, and
for the reclamation of the arid public
lands. Also, the necessity for the
preservation of the forests and re
forestation of denuded forest areas as
sources of water supply, the conserva
tion of existing supplies by approved
methods of irrigation and distribution,
and the increase of the resources ot
the arid regions by the investigation
and development of underground sup
plies and the united ownership of land
and water.
The increase in population which
usually follows the admission of a neW
state is best shown in the case of
Alabama, which in 1900 is 1,828,697
as against 1,513,0J l in 18$0,
sen ting an increase since 1890 of
315,630 or 20 8 per cent. This rate
of increase is slightly greater than
that for the decade from 1880 to 1890
when it was 19.8 per cer.t. From
1820 to 1830, the first decennial
period in the history of the state, its
population increased 142 per cent, and
|n the following decade '9O. § per bent;
The population of Alabama in 1900
is ido'h that) foilrteeh times as large
as the population given lor 1820, the
first census taken after its organiza-?
tion as a state in 1819. *•
