mess last night in admitting the Ben
nett and Murphy additions. Morford
and Fickas voted against the admis-
sion of the Bennett addition and thus
sustained their regulations as oppo-
nents of the popular will. The annex
alton of these populous districts means
much to Phoenix 1t means that we
shall have a proper showing in the
next census report. 1t means that We
shall have much-needed public i'm
provements. The day of local eXpan-
sion is at hand, and Greater Phoenix
will soon take it's proper place among
the cities of the country.

The taxpayers have won the second
round in their fight with the council
for the privilege of vot-
THE ing on the question of
COUNCIL municipal ownership.
CHANGES. The victory is due to
the change of heart of
Mayor CAM. The mayor saw that he
was wrong and last night he deserted
Fickas and Morford and voted with
Dyer and Sanders for resolution that
places the matter of ascertaining the
cost of q water works and sewerage
plant in the hands of committee TO
be appointed by the taxpayers. and
that pledges the council to order an
election upon the submission Of the re-
port of that committee.
Mayor CAM is to be congratulated
upon his action. He has embraced the
opportunity to set himself right be-
fore the people of this town. But his
former associates still maintain their
attitude of opposition to the will Of
the people. Mr.. Fickas last night de-
clared the recent mass meeting to nave
been made up of a mob, and expressed
the opinion that the meeting to be
called to select a committee would also
be composed of irresponsible persons.
1t is quite evident that in his desire to
serve Moses H. Sherman Mr. Fickas
has overlooked the fact that his fell
low townsmen are to be reckond with.
He has done much in the last week to
aid the cause of municipal ownership.
and we are selfish enough to hope that
he will cling to his present position.
But think of the many lad half-hours
Mr. Fickas will have as the result Of
his treachery to his constituents!
Morford passed" last night when
the vote on the resolution was taken.
company. but it is noticeable that his
voice is growing weaker.
The action of the council places the
question of municipal ownership in =
most favorable position. The citizens
should be prompt in taking advantage
of the situation. Now that the Bennett
and Murphy additions have been ac-
cepted as part of the city it is essential
that the probable cost of a complete
water and sewerage plant shall be
known. WIN the data now available
can figure the cost in few days a
mass meeting of taxpayers will be
called in day or two for the purpose
of forming such committee.
In view of the actions of the az
torneys of the water company and
their followers at the last meeting it
behooves the friends of municipal
ownership to provide against a packed
meeting. Every person who desires 20
see the city own a comprehensive
water and sewerage system should at
tend the meeting, and see that the
water company is not permitted to
work any monkey business"
There is cause for rejoicing in the
new turn affairs have taken. The
struggle is not yet over, but the align
ment of the opposing forces is favor
able to the popular cause. Now for
wise and decisive work by the tax
payers.

People have come to Arizona for &
variety of reasons: some in the hope
that the dry, warm climate would az
rest the excavation going on in their
lungs; some came that thei rpostofIice
addresses might be lest to sheriffs in
other communities. A spirit of adven-
ture brought others, and still others
drifted here. But of all who have come.
not one deserves a monument or any
other consideration for having come
Some have deserved well of the COM
munity since they came, and many
have not. The best man, that is, the
most useful man, in the community is
not the oldest man, though one of the
meanest men is a pioneer and one of
the earliest pioneers is in the peniten-
tiary for dishonesty in an Office to
which he was elevated by reason of his
being pioneer. It's horse and horse
between the new conner and the old
timer.

THE FAULT FINDER

AT a public meeting in Phoenix the
other night, in the course of a discus
sion of the virtues of three gentlemen
who have resided in Phoenix for some
years, the argument of the proponents
seemed to consist almost entirely of the
reiterated statement that the three de-
PENDANTS were not tenderfeet, but on
the contrary. old citizens, pioneers
whose character the breath of sus-
picion should not be permitted to tar
nish. 1 have heard a similar argument
in this country, but nowhere else. 1t is
usually heard during county and terri
torial campaigns and before party con-
ventions where priority of residence is
held up as a peculiar merit. obscuring
every possible unfitness for the Office
to which the ancient citizen may as
pire. We have been told that they
blazed the way" and made it possible
for such fellows as you to live here"

1t is possible that the proponents
meant that residence in Arizona is a
purgatorial existence, a gradually fit
ting for higher life by painful pro-
cesses, and that consequently he who
has lived here longest is the best man.
Ihat view of the case is a reflection on
Arizona which no p.ortal has a right to
make. 1t is the business of heaven to
establish purgatories and take cog
nizance of the progress of mortals
through them.

John Lee Acquitted - Martin Ferricx
Charged With Assault.


John Lee the saloon keeper who was ar
rested several days ago in connection with
the recent Heilbronner cigar store bur-
giary, had his preliminary hearing be-
fore Justice Nichols yesterday on a
charge of receiving stolen property know
ing the same to have been stolen. In in
vestigating the Heilbronner burglary the
police learned that some of the stolen ci-
gars, or cigars of the same brand. which
had not been purchased from any regular
agent. were in Lees possession. and he
was arrested.
The testimony at the hearing was to the
effect that a box of cigars was found in
Lees possession which he acknowledged
having bought from a stranger for 81.
but he denied knowing that they were
stolen, and as the evidence was very
weak on this point the case was dis
missed.
Martin Ferrick, a resident Of Centerville,
was arrested yesterday on a warrant
sworn out in Justice Nichols court charg-
ing him with assault in the second degree.
The assault is alleged to have occurred
Tuesday evening, Ferrick being accused
of using a razor on Thomas Higgins. an
other resident of Centervile, inflic.ing Sc
| rious injuries.

who made the arrest, stated yesterday
that Higgins was in bad condition. Fer
rick denies assaulting Higgins and claims

he went past Higgins house on his way
home He felt impelled to break a pane
| of glass in one of the windows, and Hig-

| he had better break another. which he
