A DISTINGUISHED VISITOR
General Jas a. Williamson of New
York in Town Yesterday.

! General James A. Williamson OF New
York arrived N the city from the west
yesterday morning. General William
son has been in Arizona before. He
crossed the territory twenty years ago,
going from Ell Paso to San Diego. He
is financially Interested in the territory
by reason Of important real estate
holdings near Mesa, which he acquired
several years ago. General Williamson
is a man of national reputation earned
by distinguished services in war and
in the government He was born IN
Adam county, Ky, in 1929. Re was
educated at Knox college, ILL.,, and was
admitted 20 the bar He entered the
military service in 1861. as first lieuten-
ant and adjutant of the Fourth Iowa.
He was promoted to lieUsen3nt-colonei
for gallantry at Pea Ridge and soon
after was made colonel of his regiment.
His military record until the close OF
the war consisted of gallant exploits,
followed by promotions. In 1864 he
was breveted major general, and after
the fall Of Savannah was assigned to
the command Of the district of Mis-
souri,.
He resumed the practice of law at
the close of the war and from 1876 to
1881 was commissioner of the general
land office. He was also chairman OF
the public lands commission, created
by congress in 1879. He was president
of the Atlantic & Pacific railroad dur
ing its construction across New Mex
leo and Arizona, and was subsequent
ly solicitor general for the road.
General Williamson has long beer al
earnest advocate of statehood for AN
IONA and New Mexico. Sad he, laSf
night: THE objections Of che oppo-
nents of statehood are not
well founded. That mistakes
have been made tin the ad-
mission of other territories, does
not argue that a mistake will be made
in admi ting Arizona under dltferenf
conditions. There is the objection to
foreign population, when there is no
foreign poulatlon. Nearly every Mex
lean IN Arizona and New Mex CO was
born under the American flag. which
has floated over these territories for
fifty years The enemies CT statae
hood demand that the impossible har
pen. They expect the leopard to change
his spots, the Spanish citizen to turn
Anglo-SaXOn and Catholicism to be
converted into Professionalism. Certain
things are required of the territories in
the way of advancement, which is re-
pressed by the territorial form of gov
eminent. The territories can never
become what their enemies insist that
they shall become, as long as they re
main territories"
General Williamson has had personal
experience in statehood struggle.
L lived said he, I'm Iowa when we
were trying to become a state. We did
not encounter the same stubborn OPP
position that confronts you. Our con-
was cur only obstacle. We
removed that by making the cOnsti-
tuition reasonable.
Il have lived in many parts of the
country without q permanent abiding
place." concluded General Williamson.

sary that. there should be fiat opposi-
ton between king and prophet. The
new official nsed not usurp the place OF
the earlier. Gods man and the 2eo-
pies man could live together in har-
mCny. The impressive fact is that
here, at this juncture in Hebrew his
tory. two historic forces appear in the
| persons of their official representatives.
And these forces, instead of being an
| tagcnistic are properly correlative and
coordinate
What happened t. Saul is a concrete
| instance of what has often been re-
peated since then. What is this that
| is come unto the son of Kish?' Two
! things had come to him He had been
a29inted king, and, strangely enough,
right upon the heels of this ceremony
he had begun to prophesy. The people
had no sooner gotten their king than
they found they had a new prophet on
Their hands. Was it to them one of the
ironies of history? homogeneous to
them this seemed at first, even as to
Samuel the desire for a king seemed in
consistent. But the incOngruity and
inconsistency were resolved in this fact,
and the newly-made prophet king
stands as the picturesque old Hebrew
way of declaring that with the new re-
sT5nsibility there came an increase of
deEandency and devotion. As the peo-
III leaned On him, Saul began to lean
on 5God The instance curiously yet
stakingly typifies the truth that the
man called to rule the people is
st"eightway called to appreciate the
rule of God. The human requirement
ana the divine command find their
point CT fusion in the king who prophe-
sizes.
Into the period of cur own American
history this door is already wide open.
Patriots day bids us turn the early
pages of our nations annals, and, while
we cheer the flag, it bids us deeply read
its meaning. Do not let its glory fade
and America are far distant from
Canaan, and the eighteenth century of
our era is remote from the eighth cen
fury bafore Christ, yet under singulariy
reversed circumstances the two forces

apply to the city registration.
Tho council seeing the effect the
ordinance would have on tha registra-
ton was inclined to remove it, but
the relief it was discovered would come
too late. 1t could come only throug b
the repeal of the ordinance. That can
be accomplished only by another or
dinance and an ordinance must be
published ten days. The registration
must end on April % and the legal
publication Of the repeating ordinance
could not be accomplished before April

Judge Street rendered another i'm
pOrtant decision affecting the city yes
tcrday. In the case of the annexation
petitions, the plea in abatement CT the
respondents was dismissed and their
demurrer to the jurisdiction of the
court was overruled. The case must
now be tried and though the re-
spondents have not said so in court,
it is certain that it Wilt be tried before
a jury, the constitution of which will
be peculiar inasmuch as the jurors
must be taken from outside the city
and the rebellious additions.

The Duties of The Patriot of

Address Appropriate TO The Battle
of Lexington Anniversary by
Rev ChaS. Francis Carrier of Lex
incfOh. Mass.

What is this that has come unto the
son of Kish? Is Saul also among the
pTOPhcts?- ii Sam. Kill
Next Wednesday, the 18th of April is
the day appointed by act of the Massa-
chusetts legislature to be observed as
Patriots day. This enactment, that is
legally operative only within the Dor
ders of the cid commonwealth, is, how
ever, winning to itself welcome recog-
milton, and its spirit is being kept, by
loyal citizens in every state of this
Union. For patriotic hearts the his
toric associations of the day are suffi-
cient proclamation, while memory
travels along those highways of ma
tional progress that lend back to the
Lexington and Concord of 1775. 1t is
the privilege of the pastor whose
church faces Lexington Green to send
greeting from this memorable birth
place of liberty" unto all those in any
ccmmCnw wealth who thus may share the
spirit of the day.
Your attention is invited to two Pc
RODS of past history, in order to draw
! from them a lesson of, patriotism peril
nent to the present. We will tap the
Stream of Jewish history at the point
where a king was first chosen.
! Hitherto the most influential man
among the people had been the prophet.
He was the one specially set apart to
receiva communications from God and
to transmit them to the people He
was the man of open vision, Gods man,
seer and spokesman. Such a one, con-
spicuOusly, was Samuel Through him
the people had besn kept in touch with
Jehovah. While he performed the diI-
ties CT judge, settling such disputes
as might arise between man and man,
il was clearly recognized that he dis
charged a still higher function than
this of arbiter, by virtue of the pecu-
liar relation which he sustained to the
divine mind and will. Because he wa
the conscience of the people, they de
ferred to him.
But the time came when new spirit
began to express itself. Samuel was
getting old, and his sons, corrupted,
had been Eerverting Judgment The
people seized upon the occasion to
make known their longing for king.
To Samuel CHS seemed strange, indeed. |
He listened to it, and gran5ad the re-
quest of the. reGple, only under protest |
To him it WAS a serious depa turs from
what had been the safety and distinc- |
ton of his nation. Through the i'm
piiOt guidance of the prophet in ali |!

hovah's will had been virtually af- |.

king, such as the othe- nations had. !
They demanded a representative, ona
VINO should be their man, althCugh he !
should be in authority over them. The
theocracy was showing its first germi-
nant signs of democracy.
Doubtless this was revolutionary.
