They are the same class of people who bave gone out from the states and settled all the other territories of this coun ry whether it was the northwest teiritory or the Louisiana purchase territory or the Gadsden purchase territory The same class of our own people who in the past have felled the forests braved the wild beasts and the insalubrity of climate and other Harassing and hampering conditions of ftontier and territorial life and erected great states and commonwealths out of these once wild wastes of forest and desolation The people like their predecess ors in frontier lite have not left their homes and broken up the associations of a life time because of indolence but benaut of ambition They have not gone out there because of their weakness but because of their strength They have not gone out there because of cowardice in meeting the conditions of life aud battling with them but they bave goue out there be cause of their courage in dealing with the problems and hardships of life They may be called adventurers but they are men of courage men of grit men of determination men of ambition meu whose ambition and determination for better things would not permit them to stay home and put up with the ordinary but led them to brave hardships amid new and untried conditions in a strange land in the hope that they might achieve for them selves aud their potterity better conditions and things than the old home bad to offer to those who had nothing to build upon except brawn and muscle guided by courage intelligence and character To ay that this class people and they constitute 8j per cent of the people of tbe tenitory of Arizona today are not capable of self government that they do not possess sufficient virtue and iutelligence to discharge those functions to
