A COMPLIMENTARY CENsURE.

The Maricopa county democratic
convention paid a high compliment tC
Governor Murphy in an Indirect way
A democratic convention is always
supposed to find something in a re-
publican administration to find fault
with and condemn. This is one of
the essential principles of democracy
After a careful consideration of all
of Governor Murphy's official acts
and finding nothing to condemn in
them they ''censured the territorial
administration" for personal opinions
held by the governor on the arid land
question. 1t simply demonstrated the
correctness of the official acts of the
administration, in the democratic eye,
when they had to fall back on the gov
ernor's individual opinion on one sub
ject TO find something to censure.

pool, which Is another new departure
in the keeping of saurians. The pool
is 35X9 feet, and contains four feet of
water heated to ninety degrees Fab
renheit On the farther side of the
pool are spacious gravel banks, beyond
which rises u dense maze of palms,
Spanish bayonets and other tropical
plants, representing II living jungle
Leaning over the pool is n tree resem-
bling live oak overgrown with TIL
lanslas, orchids and Spanish moss
from Florida. A flood of light streams
down upon the pool and its banks,
the water is warmed by concealed
pipes, and the six alligators are so
contented that they have long since
ceased to he vicious. Being properly
warmed, they feed freely, grow rap
idly and are always ready for II meal.
