THE DARKEST DEATH.

In the old reading books there was a
memorable extract from Wirt's Let
ters of a British Spy" describing a ser
mon in which the central thought was
put in the words, Socrates died like
philosopher, but Jesus Christ died
like a God 1t was an impressive con
trast between the religion of nature
and the religion Of revelation.
Turn to another contrast, the denial
of religion in the death of CzolgosZ.
He adhered to the principles of anar-
chism in his words: And don't you
dead. don't want it, /. don't want
any of their ID religion" That was
not an objection to any creed or sect.
1t was the sentiment of anarchist oh
lection to any and all government,
which necessarily casts aside the idea
Of Divine Being governing the uni
verse in justice and mercy to His crea-
lures.
There can be no more horrible death
than that to the vast majority of hu-
man kind, Differ as they may in other
matters. men of almost ali religions
die in the belief tnat they will pass
under the government of a just God
That is their ideal of happiness That
is the refuge from the injustice of this
world. Anarchism takes away that
hope and do0ms man to die like dun
worm, to rot
1t is this feature of anarchsm that
has occasioncd its vigorous .condcmna-
tion by the church, and is perhaps the
feature that makes it most dangerous
to mankind. Any one who believes in
the advantages of punishment for
crime must readily see the effect of
belief in a future state of rewards and
as "A preventive Of crime
Take from a man inclined TO crime
both hope and fear and how shall he be
reached? Only one who has shut all

the Kentucky fugatives from justice
and had made no explanation of his

judges and juries is OF the most ~cx-

WHAT WILL MURPHY DO?

II Governor Murphy has any regard
for Arizona, or any proper apprccia-
tion OF the position ne is now in, no
will resign as Governor Of this Terri
tory without delay.
His resignation would undoubtedly
relieve President Roosevelt of much
embarrassment and would remove Al
incubus that the people OF this Terri
tory should not be required to carry.
AS a private citizen n O. Murphy
could appear in court to defend himself
against the charges of which he stands
accused without undue embarrassment
to himself, to the court, to the counsel
to the jury or to the plaintiff. It is
such an unusual thing to find a gov
ernor arraigned in court on charges in
yolying Gishonor and dishonesty. that
even the machinery of the law might
find itself indisposed The influence
of the governors Office is potent. and
We all know tnat Murphy would not
hesitate to exert it.
The people of Arizona are proud
people. and while the Territorial gov
ernor is not begotten of the people,
they still will instinctively feel the dis
grace of seeing their chief magistrate
defending himself against an accusa-
ton of roguery. This will also be a
reflection on the Roosevelt admInstra-
tion. II is true that Roosevelt did not
appoint Murphy to Office, but it is in
his power to remove him from office.
and this the President should do. il the
governor does not relieve him from the
painful necessity by resigninR.
Every instinct OF deccncy. pr0priety.
respect for law. or for the feelings of
the people of Arizona should suggest
to Governor Murphy that nothing
would be SO becoming to him under
existing circumstances as an immedi-
ate retirement to very private life.

The Supreme Courts decision prac-
tically compels the Equalization Boar"

value of the stock is to be determined
by market quotations. For years the
State of Illinois has not received any
