There is something radically wrong with man who is constantly seeking to pull others down. This remark is called forth by the report published in tue Republican this week that w. F. Cooper, district attorney of Pima county, had filed charges against A. s. Humphreys, hoping to prevent his appointment as associate justice Of Hawaii. Those charges, as every citi- zen of Florence knows are without the slightest foundation. MT. llumph- reys has as clean a record here as the district attorney of Pima county, and both resided in Florence at the same time. MT. Humphreys does not owe any man or woman in this county a dollar Can Mir. Cooper say as much? Mir. Humphreys always behaved him. self as a gentleman, proud and self respecting. Can Mir. Cooper say as much? The oft reiterated charges against MT. Humphreys regarding his connection with the Helm abortion case in Phoenix, have been disproved time and again, and reflect no discredit whatever on MT. Humph- reys. The Tribune has always been disposed to give Mir. Cooper credit for building himself up aud making man of himself, out this latest outbreak convinces us that he Is the same old Cooper. One would think he had his hands full attending his own business, but that was never his way Florence Tribune.

tng the supply of free text books by
the state, child labor, with special ref
erence to the number of hours of work
per week, and the policy of the fedora
ton as regards matters to come up In
the general assembly.
