THE citizens of Williams should be taking steps in the way of ap pointing committees for the recep- ton of President Roosevelt, upon his arrival here May 6. Great in terest in his coming is being mani tested throughout the entire terri tory, and arrangements are being made in several places for charter ing special cars in which a goodly representation will be sent to wei come the chief executive upon his arrival here. These parties also intend visiting the Grand Canyon, and Williams should put on her best bib and tucker and extend the glad hand to all. ''Teddy" is a lover of, and has been a partici- pant in, western sports, and as an attraction we should provide en- tertainment in the way of base ball, steer-tying and broncho bust ing. Let's be up and doing. We have a month in which make pre- paration, but that is not too much time.

MT. w. F. Staunton, general manager of the Tombstone Consol- idated Mines, stopped over in Phe- nix Tuesday on his way from Tombstone to the Congress mine, says the Republican. He brought the interesting information that when he left Tombstone the rail road into that town was practi- cally finished, and that it was un- doubtedly completed Wednesday. Thus the point definitely marking the Tombstone of the past from the Tombstone of today has been reached at last. The grading of the line from Fairbank to the his toric mining camp was finished several months ago. but the com pletion of the railroad has been de- layed by lack of steel. Arrange ments are under way for a grand celebration at Tombstone within the near future.

WE have been handed the fnlloy

WE have been handed the follow ing item, taken from the Phoenix Gazette, relative to speech made by Councilman Ashurst before the late legislature: "Mr. Ashurst said that he recognized the dignity of labor. He also said that the rail- road and mining corporations had been before the legislature asking for legislation and they got it. both democrats and republicans voting for the measures Shall we de- cline to labor the only request that has been made?' said he. T con- sider this refusal a direct slap in the face of organized labor, after granting SO many other privileges. l once declined to listen to the voice of the laboring man, and I voted against their interests, I am sorry to say; l saw it was a mis- take, and l have decided to push forward their interests, for 1 will place the personnel of labor organ 3zations against that of capitalistic organizations any time' Mir. Ash urst then devoted some time to paying a beautiful tribute to the memory of the late Buckley O'Neill. It was one of the best speeches on that subject made during the even iHg.'

SEVERAL territorial papers are devoting much space to the villifi- cation of Governor BrOdie's veto of the woman suffrage bill. They at tribute his action to saloon and gamblinginfuences brought to bear. The accusations are unfair, and are made without the slightest founda- ton as to their correctness. The governor exercised his veto prerog- ative as would any conscientious executive with the interests of the public in mind. The reasons as- signed for such action will no doubt be satisfactory to the most sanguine ladies who hoped for enfranchise- ment. The unconstitutionality of such a measure is conceded by sev- eral bright lights of the legal pro- fession; but it has leaked out through some learned editors that neither Governor Brodie nor the disciples of Blackstone are correct. 'Tis a pity that these studious crit ics could not be induced to don the judicial ermine and decide all ques- tions that now perplex the minds of clergy and state. At any rate, the public will continue an abiding faith in the honesty and sincerity of Arizona's chief execu- tive, whose integrity is above re- proach or suspicion.

SATURDAY, MARCH 2s, 19S

LAST week the NEWS devoted some space to a criticism of the stand taken by Henry F. Ashurst, coun- cilman from Coconino county, with regard to the disposition of the fees pertaining to the office of the terri torial secretary. Our views were plainly expressed in regard to that matter, but in view of the fact that it might be inferred from the ar ticle that our judgment as to all his actions are adverse, we wish to state that with the single exception above referred to, we believe in and heartily endorse his other actions. Our criticism was not made with malicious intent, but. believing it to be our duty we expressed our views in the matter. Mr. Ashurst is not man to take upkindly to a well-meant criticism; in fact we be- lieve he appreciates roast" as well as puff" A man who can not bear to have his public and private acts honestly criticised is not the man for public position, and no such man is Mr. Ashurst He has been "jacked up," more or less, by nearly every paper in the territory. and our long acquaint- ance with him leads us to believe that. like Buckley O'Neill, he keeps an eye out more for ''roasts," and appreciates them much greater than 'sDuffs."

A Washington dispatch of the 25th says: President Roosevelt was much amused today when he received the information that fifty Bisbee and southern Arizona Rough Riders were to meet him at Will Hams, Arizona, and present him with a large bear. He said he knew, if they so desired, his com rades could catch anything, even to the very old gentleman himself."

AFTER passing both branches of the legislature, the woman suffrage bill was vetoed at the last moment by Governor Brodie, who gave as his reason for so doing that it was not within the power of the legis- lature to act upon it.

Fifty Rough Riders of Bisbee and southern Arizona, finding that Pres ident Roosevelt will confne his itinerary to the northern part of the territory, have arranged an ex- cursion to meet their former leader in battle at Williams on May 6, and accompany the presidential party to the Grand Canyon and re- turn. Desiring to give the presi- dent some appropriate token of their esteem, they have secured a monster black bear, captured in So- nora, and will present it to him when they meet at Williams. They realize that it will be somewhat awkward for the president to carry a live bear around with him, but they have decided that he will get at least one bear on his western trip. The bear is in chains, but is perfectly docile and harmless under charge of Captain George Roberts, a veteran of the Spanish-American war who, to save himself from anni- hilation, while camping out in the wilds of Mexico about a. year ago, engaged in an encounter with bruin and succeeded in tying the bruit down, receiving but a few scratches to commemorate the daring en- counter. Captain Roberts is soldier, an expert hunter, and an entertaining orator, who will make the presentation speech in Williams on May 6, next.

ANOTHER good storm this week. Rain began falling Tuesday even- ing and acted as an impetus to the already rapidly melting snow on the mountain south of town toward filling the great railroad reservoir. There will be no shortage of water in this section this year.

ENORMOUS INCREASE
 IN L. & N. RECEIPTS
FREIGHT TRAFFIC FOR THE YEAR 1903 SHOWS A GAIN OF AS PER CENT OVER 1eo2-WlLL AMOUNT TO s2,ooo,ooo.

The freight receipts at the Louisville and Nashville railroad at this point dur ing the year 1903 will amount to $2,0O0,000, according to the estimate of railroad official. This will be an increase of something like 45 per cent over the re- ceipts of the year 1902.
 The freight receipts of the Louisville and Nashville railroad in Birmingham during the month of November exceeded the same month of last year by $i4,00O.
 About 65 per cent of the receipts was for incoming freight and the balance for freight shipped out of Birmingham. The pig iron movements have been little dull or the receipts would have been much larger. About $50 car loads of freight is handled from the local freight office of the Louisville and Nashville. This, of course, includes the export and the im- port.
 The receipts of the Alabama Great Southern railroad, the Southern railway, the Frisco system and the Central of Georgia railroad also show an enormous increase for the present year over 1902.

JOHN M'QUEEN
Candidate for Solicitor of Tenth Judi
 ciai Circuit.

The subject of this sketch has been citizen of this county ever since February l. 1890. He commenced the practice of his profession in Jasper, Walker county, in February, 1883, where he resided seven years prior to moving to Birmingham.
 While in Walker county he was county solicitor for two years, gaining distinc- ton as a vigorous and close prosecutor, but at the same time fair and dscriminat- ing. He then formed copartnership with the lamented Col G. w Hewitt, and they did lucrative business until MT Mcqueen settled in Birmingham in 1890 Since becoming a citizen of this county MT. Mcqueen has enjoyed the dis tinction of having represented the county three terms in the legislature with very marked and decided ability and earnest ness.
 He is perfectly familiar with the du- ties and the work of a prosecuting at- torney, and contends that frequently jus tice should be tempered with mercy in the prosecution of criminal cases. For three years he acted as assistant solicitor to the present county solicitor of Jeffer- son county, and the records of the court speak very much louder than we can as to his effectiveness proficiency and strength as a prosecutor, yet frequently we find that those he prosecuted are his staunchest friends, because of his fair ness and honesty in dealing with them
 MT. Mcqueen is one of our strongest young men, both from moral and intel lectual standpoint. and if he is elected will make most valuable official, because he is fearless. energetic and capable
 His friends predict that he will he an easy winner. sss
