opens half q dozen different bottles

With little instrument she first
tests the settings. and then dips the

THE GOVERNOR
IS MISREPRESENTED.

Now it is said that in the event of
the failure of this democratic legislature
passing laws suppressing gambling and
allowing the people to settle the drink
business through local option law,
that the governor will refer the matter
to congress. and have that body pass a
bill touching these subjects on the
ground that the people of Arizona are
not capable of self-government, as illus
trated by the action Of the legislature in
refusing to consider his recommends
tions of these two vital question, touch
ing the better government of the terri
tory. Well, we will see how this re-
port turns out.-TuCson Star.
Fifteen lines is long stretch for a
single sentence, and it is not everyone
who can hold his breath and keep his
mind on the subject of the sentence
long enough to get any sense out OF it.
1t is not strange that newspaper
that allows such a sentence to enter its
columns should get the truth mixed,
elongated, jerked out of shape and form,
and rediculously contorted. The Star
has of late been misrepresenting Gov
ernor Murphy; whether through ignor-
ance or with malicious intent we do not
know, but it has done so on several &C.
casions. The last article appeared in
Sundays issue, day when the morn
ing paper prints a column OF scripture,
and out of respect to its religious editor
should, it seems to US, refrain from ly-
ing unnecessarily.
The fact is that Governor Murphy
never recommended the suppression 4
gambling in Arizona. This statement
was evidently born ofsa long-feh wish OF
the Star editor, who is opposed to gam.
bling in all its forms and divices. Gov.
ernor Murphy recommended that the
law now on the statute books licensing
gambling be repealed and the question
left to local option. Governor Murphy
does not wish to suppress gambling by
this action he only wishes to remove
some of the odium from the territory
which is striving for statehood and
place the responsibility upon the NUM-
cipalities where it belongs. The Star :
"rumor" that the governor is going to
take the issue up in Washington before
congress is silly, but it is not unexpected
since the morning paper has INDUCED
in number of other attacks upon the
chief executive which are equally ridicu-
lous.

A PHOENIX
PAPER CORRECTED.

The Phoenix Republican says ed.
itorially:
Senator Ives should send the Enter
prise to night school where the art OF
lying is scientifically taught. The En-
terprise possesses much natural ability,
but successful prevarication must be pre-
coded by skiilful training. The object
of lying is to deceive, and not to merely
tell untruths without purpose and in
the face of glaring facts. The senator
organ said last night.
Our governor in his message recon-
mends the appropriation OF $37 800 to
complete the prison. The legislature
cut the same down to $25, 200. The bill
was vetoed through pique and for the
purpose of humiliating Senator Ives,
who had started an investigation of the
board of control and the auditors Office
The governor did not recommend an
appropriation of $37 500 or any other
sum ''to complete the prison"
What he did recommend in his mes
sage to the legislature on the subject of
the prison was this:
In my judgment it is clearly your duty
to authorize and order the construction
of q new and modern prison. have no
suggestions to make concerning the loca.
ton, beyond stating it as my conviction
that you should carefully investigate all
the features of the situation and then
provide for new and permanent in
stitution at the point best adapted to
economical management without refer
ence to bias or prejudice prevailing in
any locality and in disregard of all sell
fab interests, corporate or otherwise. II
you find that the construction and main
tenance of such penal esta blishment as
is needed can be had at Yuma as sue
cessfully as elsewhere, shall be glad to
cooperate with you most heartily in
carrying your views into effect.
The governors message was read in
the hearing of all the members of the
legislature. 1t was printed the next
morning in two OF the newspapers in
Phoenix, was read by thousands and
that part Of it relating to the prison was
widely commented upon. Even now q
copy of the message in pamphlet form
is in the desk of every member of the
legislature. So wherefore the silly pre-,
varication OF the Enterprise2
