USE COMMON SENSE.

1T seems to us that little COM
mon sense would be wise thing
to throw in among the laws which
our Legislature are passing. Mem
bers of the house from counties not
interested, in voting on tho Chiri-
cahua county bill, did s. knowing
that a large majority of the people
affected We're not in favor OF it. 1t
was even shown to them that every
member from Cochise and Graham
counties had been elected on pied
ges to fight county division, and
petition after petition was sent IN
from Graham county. So clear
was 1t made that the two counties
interested were adverse to it, that
Mr.. Speed was forced to confess
that his pledge was given to deceive
his constituents, so that he could
introduce the bill, knowing lie
stood not ghost of a show to be
elected if he refused to make the
pledge. Even the friends of the
measure oughtto be proud ofSpeed,
indeed we think they will be so
proud of him that even they will
rot dare to trust him away from
home again. We predict this will
be his last legislative term for he
is simply political traitor and
should, and we believe will, re-
ceive the contempt and condem-
nation of all his constituents.
Why, we ask, in the face of all
this evidence should Ii members,
not interested in any particular
except one, Mr.. Speed, vote for the
bill which is not desirable.
Every member from Cochise and
Graham, except Mr.. Speed voted
against the measure; every one ex-
cept Mr.. Speed and perhaps Mr..
Riggs worked against, for Which
due credit is due them.

A TWo-YEAR OLD.

With this issue the GUARDIAN
enters upon the third year OF its
existence. Our future prospects
seem to be good, We have no
complaint to enter. ave have
tried to do our duty ever, tried to
do it just and rightly" by the
community which we serve.
Our efforts have been directed to
the upbuilding of Graham county
in particular, the Territory in gen.
eral. We have endeavored to IN
duce desirable immigration in this
direction, and the rapid growth OF
the country for the past two years
tells us that our efforts have not
been altogether unsuccessful,
Our politics have always BEEN
and we always expect them to be
Democratic--which means that we
are always fighting for free silver
and good and economical govern
ment, however our principal mis-
sion is the upbuilding of this won
derful country, doing what good
we can tor oil men, irrespective OF
politics or religion.
This county is naturally one OF
the richest on earth in agricultural,
mineral and grazing lands, and II
by an honest portrayal OF the ad-
vantages this section holds out, we
can induce people to come here
who will make two blades of grass
grow where only one grew before
we are satisfied.

IRRIGATION'S CONGRESS.

Until within the past two years
California was the great object les
son in the art of making "two
blades of grass grow whore one
grew before" She was the smother
colony" of America in this branch
ola nations progress. Australia
sent over her most practical Or
chardists and her ablest irrigation
en- gineers to view out the situation.
They visited Idaho, Utah, Colo
RADIO, Kansas and Arizona, as well
as this state; and then returned to
the land of the black swan and the
kangaroo, only to report that, so
far as their judgment went, Cali
fornia was the great object lesson
of their entire tour of the ARID
States of the western continent.

long-delayed work Of retaining q
large piece of desert land on the

treated as their standing will per-
nit, for the use of convi labor in
works of irrigation is so far an ex-
pertinent in penology. And 1t is
to be hoped that Mr.. Ives of New
York, the proprietor of this great
work, may reap handsome re-
ward for the enterprise displayed
by himself and his business associa-
tions. With the aid of irrigation,
Arizona can produce very high
grades and abundant crops of corn,
both Indian and Egyptian. With
b;yb r,ounta;no opd haovu whit pr

pasturage, and with plenty Of good

CHURCH AND STATE.


and state affairs, who will draw the
line between them so that they can
not fail of beng distinguished and
never become mixed? But the af-
fairs Of the church have to do with
the Bible aud other sacred records,
and the affairs of state have to do
with state books and theories.
Now if the lawmaker shall presume
to trench upon the sacred realm of
the church, or the churchman in
vades the domain of the state, what
mighty howl that should make,
and yet how often this is done,
says the Utonian.
The following is too beautiful to
let pass UNDECIDED, but it dare pre-
sumo to venture in the two pastures
church and state.
In the course of n debate on the
immigration bill Hon. j. T. Nor.
gan, Alabama's senior senator, and
roputed one of the ablest, if not
the ablest attorney in that body,
pronounced an eloquent eulogy on
the ten commandments and the
man and woman who lives up to
them. He said:
"If every man who is naturalized
in the United States is compelled
to read the ten commandments,
that man will not die without bav-
ing had an opportunity to under
stand the groundwork of the civil
ization and the government of the
United States. 1t can do him no
harm. Whether he reads it under
standingly or not q mean under
standlngly in the sense of corvic-
ton of its truth), that man shall
not go to his grave harmed by the
fact that he has read the ten com
mandments. There are great
many men in the United States to.
day, native born and naturalized,
who have never read the ten com
mandments. They are none the
better for that. The country Is
none the better off because those
men have not read that basis of all
Christian law. When man is
naturallzed from a foreign country,
there must be better security for
that mans intelligence in regard to
the true virtues and the true powers
and duties Of an American citizen
when he can satisfy the court by
ostensible demonstrations that he
has really read the ten command
ments.
"When we are making qualifica-
tons for those who are to become
citizens of the United States, who
are not born here, l insist that
they shall show that they have had
some education of heart and con-
sciene----------las of political con-
Tafions. If believeN,bot ever,
man and woman who emigrates tc
the United States would be obedi
ent to the ten commandments, yor
might take all political questions
and throw them to the winds, sc
far as l am concerned. / should
feel that we were secure in high
