JlTXMS OP SUBSCRIPTION One Year 3.00 ix Months $1.00 ARIZONA'S JUDICIARY HELD IN HIGH ESTEEM The judiciary of the country should be regarded as unsullied and above reproach. When the slightest taint attaches to the bench the public become distrustful, and any accusation having for its purpose the soiling ot the judicial ermine is greedily accepted as a nourishing morsel. It matters not by whom the onslaught is made; few stop to inquire the authenticity of the charge, and one's integrity is challenged and his probity brought into question.

The accuser may be a man of let-letters a disciple of Esculap-ias, a representative of Divinity, a student of Blackstone or the untutored herdsman Hits arrow finds its mark and spreads its venom to the delight of he who would assassinate character that his pleadings might for a moment fall upon willing ears. Men too soon forget their own faults; or, if restless under the sting of merited exposure and just ridicule, are prone to sacrifice pure men that public execration ma' be diverted for onty a brief period from where it deservedly belongs. Arizona is justified in her pride of our judiciary. Those now occupying the bench are learned in law, of the highest types of manhood, Christian gentlemen in whose honor the entire people have inalianable faith. Before the bench as at present constituted honest men need have no fear but that justice will be meted out to them.

The muscles In many such people, in fact In every eary, thin and mln-blooded person, do their work with great difficulty. As a result fatigue comes early, is extreme and lasts long.

It is necessary to prepare the stomach for the wor of taking up from the food hat is necessary to make good, rich, red blood. We must go to Nature for the remedy.

Denver Post. 'HOW OLD IS ANN?" HAS BEEN ASKED. Election being oer, the question "How old is this land of ours?" is agitating the minus of eastern scientists ana people generally. It is certainly refreshing to be able to turn away from the consideration of politics and elections to something that people know little about.

According to the latest discoveries this American continent, which up to recently was cons'dered a new country, is very, ery old. The Brooklyn Standard-Union concerning the subject says that how old is that land of ours, judged by the occupation of man? Joaquin Miller speaks of it as, "That old, old land, which men call new," and new discoveries, especially in the new regions of what constitute what men call the United States, supply additional testimony that the "new world" is older than it has been believed to be, and that it was occupied by man at a remoter period than was once supposed. Out nearOmaba, Nebraska, in the middle section this couutry, the skeleton of a man has been unearthed which has been pronounced by Prof. Osborn, of our own Columbia University, to be the most primitive yet discovered anywhere, except the so-called Neanderthal man, whose bones were discoverer in Germany. The professor says the latter is a mere animal, while the Nebraska man wag a thinking man, though of the lowest order, judging by a comparative measurement of skulls.

It is pleasant to think that if this land of ours was not the original home of the race, as some believe, at least its population began with think ing men. and, furthermore, that condition has continued to the present day, the thinking powers of the inhabitants developing to higher and higher planes. One of the most difficult of the manj'difficultthings which Europe finds in American conditions is that the whole land should so often pass through the throes of an election contest, like that of the past few days, heated to a white heat, and yet no revolution follow or result in appeal to arms. In this country there is an abiding acceptance of one fundamental principle the will of the majority must rule. It is this ingrained principle which makes us worthy of freedom and enables us to maintain it.

However much we may be divided by issues, and how hotly we may contend for our views and inter est, when an election is held, that ends it. The will of the majority is yielded to.

AH druggists, ioc Mexico, a Land Of Wonder ''Mexico, that wonderland of shimmering distances and of unparalleled natural resources, where the entrancing echo of ancient Aztec civilization fading before the distant rumble modern American progress, and where balmy, delicious indolence pervades the very air. "It is a land whose majestic peaks. surrounded by a mystic veil of azure, seem the earthly haunts of the wraiths of the a land whose fertile plains and valleys shall toon resound to "the rude awaking" of iconoclastic American methods in the light of which, nerveless ideals and Utopian dreams shall be swiftly dissipated; a land with laws which fair Columbia could well afford to imitate and a land with other laws which outrage every conceivable notion of justice and common sense, "A land inhabited by men whose tender, noble hearts throb for the mil- lenium of human perfection and whose souls are absolutely incorruptible, yet a land whose bosom provides susten-for crratures in human form whom Satan's shrewdest emissaries would seek for past masters in the art of villainy and torture. "A land where senoritas of languishing, intoxicating beauty are chaperoned by wrinkled, wretched, pestilential "viajitas" before whom the hags of Macbeth would shine as a ton of radium; a land where the brilliant color cf patrician vesture are reflected against the meager, filthy vermin ridden habiliments of the shivering, starving, hopeless peon; where heaven Iy music has accompanied the most revolting scenes of butchery and tor ture; where sunshine and sugar are omnipresent factors in the existence of the masses; where the dogs' grow fat while horses starve; where they hobble the chickens while the goats eat at the table and pigs sleep under the bed and soothe the weary husbandman to delicious sleep with their complaisant gruntd in the shadows of palatial magnificence. "A Isnd whose filligarea and drawn work would throw an American woman into hysterical where one may obtain a cigar in the wreathing nebola ol which he sees visions of incomparable beauty and listens to the ravishing melody of harp and guitar, touched deftly by dainty fingers, while gaunt wretchedness stalks forth in every form, with youth groping in darkness, manhood wasted in ignorance, and "old age, cold and pitiless," goes shivering to the grave.

"Yet Mexico is klowly awaking. She it rubbing her beautiful eyes after her long in the lap of primeval barbarism. "She will sorn stand on her feet, ready to fall into the grand procession of modern progtets from which the has been to long exclnded. "And, until those dreamy eyes shall have become accustomed to the light, she may lean with confidence on the sturdy arm of fair Columbia. FKANK AXEY.

Philbrook of the Bisbee public schools, the lower grades at the Central school building were dismissed at noon yesterday, each child being instructed to remain at home except where parentt would take the responsibility of allowing them on the street This action, he said, was due to the discovery of new cases of scarlet fever in the city.

Both Sides Claim New Mexico Election A Las Vegas, N. M. dispatch lays: Late returns received at democratic headquarters lower majority which they claim for Larrazola for delegate, but Chairman Jones still claims his election by 300. Jones has instituted suits in Colfax and Torrance counties to have several precincts thrown out and will contest Rio Arriba and Taos counties unless Larrazola has a clear majority. The latest republican estimate is 22 1 majority for Andrews, based on a claim of 300 majority in Taos, which is disputed.

Guggenheims After Arizona Property ccording to the Bisbee Miner, W. M. Barker, manager of the Sonora Bonanza Mining company, was in Bisbee on business in connection with a deal which hat been long rumored 1 on the local market in which the Guggenheims will gain control of the property. Mr. Barker, however, refused to make any statement, merely saying that the deal was one by which the stockholders would gain control of the greater portion of the promoters' stock.

The Sonora-Bonanza property is well known In Arizona, having a large number of local stockholders. Mysterious Plague Along the Border From parties arriving from the east it it stated a mysterious disease has manifested itself at Marfa, Texas, neai the border, and the people in that neighborhood are panic stricken from the results of the deadly ailment. Within a few days some fifteen residents have died from the unknown disease which appears to be spreading aud creating consternation among the residents. Local physicians are unable to diognose the trouble, and the State Department of Health hat been appealed to. Phelps-Dodge to Construct New Road The Phelps-Dodge interests are still building railroads.

Last week it incorporated at Santa Fe the Dawson, El Paso and Southwestern railroad. The road runs from Dawson, in the coal fields, via Las Vegas to Cornoa, a station on the El Paso 4 Sonth western in Lincoln connty. When this road is finished Phelps-Dodge fc Co. will own its eoal mines, its smeltert and itt railroads to its mines and tmelters The only time that Phelps-Dodge Co. has to pay freight is in tending its copper to New York.

U. S. Will Likely Pay Election Bills It is probable the Federal govern' ment may pay all the expense Jnf the general election just doted ia Arizona, Clerk of the Board C.B. Howe baa received a letter from Governor Kibbey which calls forduplicate claims of ail election expense in Cochise county. It Is construed that the $150,000 appropriated by congress to pay the election expense for a vote on the joint statehood question and election of delegates to the constitu tional convention means the payment by Uncle Sam of the entire general election cost, since it is a difficult matter to seggregate the cost ot coun tyTand state expense, therefore the ruling calls for duplicate claims and receipts of election expense to be filed with the interior department.

The cost of the election in Cochise county will reach about $8000 and the co-inty stands in a fair way to be.reimbursed this amount. Bour In Tombstone, November 13, 1906, to the wife of T. E. Warlop, a daughter. Dr.

Sabin is in Bisbee on a brief basinets visit. An Arizona Jurist Stricken to Heart In the district court at Phoenix last Saturday, Ex-Chief Justice Web ster Street charged Chief Justice Keut with being subs rvienttocorporations, whereupon the jurist said: "I should bj sorry if counsel did not understand that I realize the gravity of this charge. I have had a higb and lofty purpose and ambition, and that has been to serve the people, that in their hearts, at least, they would believe that their causes would le fairly and impartially tried and decided when brought before me. "I suppose it is al-rays true that the higher one's ideals and ambitions the greater is the disappointment and disheartenment when a realization of a failure to achieve them is brought home to him. For any number of peop to charge any man with unfairness and partiality and want of integrity, is a grave matter; but when as here, such a charge comes from a wnole community ol people against a judge, it is a terrible indictment; and though, when tried at the bar of my own conscience, 1 may entirely acquit myself of the charge, a judge may not defend himself to others; he may not deny the charge, evjn.

and if I should so acquit myself, there would still remain the very grave question to be determined one not l'ghtl- to be determined, for there are a great many matters to be considered in con nection therewith, and many elements enter into it and thai is, if there exists in this community such a widespread and general feel ins of distrust as is evidenced by these applications as filed, whether it would nut be my duty to the people to give way to someone who might win the confidence I have failed to obtain; for unhappy, indeed, is the people whose confidence in the integrity and fairness of the man who is to judge them is lost." Senator Foraker to Visit Arizona It is probable that Senator Foraker, of Ohio, who won for himself a warm place in the hearts of all loyal Arizonana by his magnificent fight for this Territory in the Senate, may visit Arizona cities within a thort time. If Senator Foraker is finally pre' vailed upon to make the trip he will be one of a Congressional party which will come here with Congressman Tawnty. It is likely that the trip will be made primarily te visit the great mines of the Territory and to see here the wonderful mineral development that it being made. Arizona to Be World's Greatest Mining Camp According to carefully figured esti mates by competent authorities, Arizona will rank second at the end of the present year ia the production o' copper, but one state being ahead of it. While this territory will rank second this year, there is but little doubt, takiug the present rate of increase into consideration, that she will lead the list before another year passes by.

When it is remembered that the mineral resources of this territory are still in the exploitation stage, her present rank at a producer of the red metal it little thort of marvelous, and the prediction so often made that Arizona would one day be the world's greatest mining camp ia by no meant considered the dream it once was.

BY THE GOVERNOR OV ARIZONA. To the People of Arizona: Thanksgiving Day hat become so much and so peculiarly an American institution that we look forward to its near approach with feelings of grateful pleasure. It had its origin with the sturdy pioneers of a new continent. It hallowed by the customs of our people for nearly three centuries. It Is recognized by churches of every creed, and has been embodied in our laws as the great annual American family festival ot Thanksgiving for the mercies, prosperity and happiness of the closing year.

The memories of the years gone by of happy family gatherings have especially endeared the day to us all, having to those, of whem there are so many of ut, who have migrated from the scenes of their earlier years, a peculiar significance of the day. The president of the United States hat by hit proclamation designated Thursday, the twenty-ninth day of vember, for its observance. By the law of the nation, and by the law of Arizona, it is made a legal holiday of the people of this prosperous community, to enable them fittingly and fully to observe and enjoj the ceremonies, all in their own man ner of Thanksgiving Day. Now, therefore Joseph H. Kibbey governor of Arizona, do hereby designate and appoint Thursday, November twenty-ninth, 1906, Thanksgiving Day, and recommend its observance and celebration as such.

In witness whereof I uave hereunto 1 )t my hand and caustd the great teal of the territory to be affixed. Done at Phoenix, the capital, thia first day of November, 1906. seal JOSEPH H. KIBBEY. By the Governor.

Oldest OldrTimers In Arizona Concerning an item in the International-American about Ed. Peck being the oldest white resident of Arizona, the Yuma Sentinel says: "The Douglas International tays that Bisbee has probably the" oldest white resident of Arizona Edward Peck, who came to what ia now the territory in 1858. There are two men now living in Yuma who "beat Mr. PecK to it" by two and four years, retpectively.

Capt. Isaac Polhamus came to Yuma (then Arizona City; in 1356 and has lived here ever since. 1 Hall Hanlon, the oldest old-timer, came in 1854, and is here yet, hale and hearty at the age of 82. He came I here to work as a carpenter, and help ed to build old Fert Yuma. "Capt.

Polhamus it 78, in the best I of health and apparently good for many years to come. I "The reward Peck mentioned above ia distinguished- another way aside I 'om being an old-tinlSfTin that he- discovered the famous 'Peek mine' near Pretcott. He sold his two-third interest in the mine for $300,000, but is said to be a poor man today." The long talked of and many timet projected railroad from San Diego to Yuma bat tilen a new impetus. A dispatch of recent date from San Diego taya: "The petition asking the city attorney to draft such legislation, state and municipal, at may be necessary for the bonding of the city for for the construction of a standard gnage railway from ban Diego to Yuma has been granted by the conncil. A constitutional amendment may be necessary, and considerable law will have to be made at Sacramento for it." 1...
