KILLING AT DOUGLAS
Of the Suspected Slayer of the City
 Marshal.

There was a sensational killing at Douglas on July which seems to have been wholly obscured by the natal day exercises. No mention of it appears in the Douglas papers of that or the fol- lowing day. The sensa ational core spcndents with which that country abounds do not appear to have heard of it and even a correspondent of this paper who sent long communication about the Fourth of July proceedings neglected to mention it. if he had heard of it.
 The victim was an unknown man who is believed to be the man who killed the city marshal of Douglas a. couple of months ago and at the same time wounded Officer Date Graham so that for long time it was feared that he was going to die. Graham lived, however. to kill man who he believes is the man who wounded him and kill ed the marshal.
 The shooting occurred in a saloon in out of the way part of the town. There was so much going on in the border town at that time that the in

The bedrock for the Croton dam is 160 feet below the river bed, while the Tcnto bedrock is only twenty-four feet. The height from bedrock to the crest of both dams will be about the same. The width of the Croton dam at bedrock win be 216 feet; of th- Tonto 195 feet. The width of the spillway around the Croton dam 10 be used in case of flood will be 900 feet. At the Tonto there will be a spillway on either side, each 200 feet wide. The Croton enterprise represents the largest granite masonry enterprise in the world. The Tonto will be small in comparison, in respect of the quantity of masonry, but it will be vastly larger ir what it is designed to accomplish. There will be bigger re- turns for every dollar invested4 than on any construction enterprise of large magnitude yet undertaken in the world. It will, therefore be famous and ought to be worth at least million dollars to Arizona as a msTe advertisement.

cident might very easily have been ov- erlooked, especially as the victim did not die at once and it was not sure that he would die at all
 The story of the shooting was brought to Phoenix yesterday by George Kirkland, clerk of the probate court, who has spent the last five days in Douglas.
 It will be remembered that after the shooting Graham was taken to the hos pital where his life was despaired of for a time. There was only a suspi cion as to the identity of the man who had shot him and the marshall; he was believed to be a desperado who was wanted in various parts of the county and was particularly wanted in Doug las for hold-up. The officers did not know whether the man they were try ing to arrest was the man they wanted or not The attempted arrest was made in the night and in the dark and after the suspect was supposed to be under control he began his deadly fight and made his escape.
 While Graham was lying at the hos pital several suspects were arrested and all of them were taken to the hos pital. As soon as they confronted Graham he said that not one of them was the man. When he was asked for a description of the murderer he said that he could not give one, but that 1T he should ever see him he would know him.
 Graham was able to. leave the hospi- tai few days before the Fourth. In the meantime a stranger had come to town, a description of whom led Gra- ham to believe that he was the mur derer. He saw him and felt quite sure that he was the man who killed the marshal and wounded him. He did not attempt an immediate arrest. but shadowed the man for d day or two and the more he saw of him the stronger was his conviction that he was the man.
 He determined July to make the arrest. He followed the suspect into a saloon in a disreputable part of the town and ordered him to throw up his hands. Instead of doing so the strang- CT reached for his gun. A man who had gone through the experience from which Graham had lately emerged would naturally regard that as an un- friendly demonstration. He was ready and fired. The ball entered the throat ard lodged in the neck. The stranger fell on the floor paralyZed.
 It was at first thought that he might survive. but he died night before last.
 There was some inclination to criti- cize Graham for the shooting on the ground that he could not have been sure that the stranger was the mur- derer Of the marshal. That may never be shown, but most of the people of Douglas, leaving that question alto gether out of the controversy. say that the officer was justified in the shoot ing since the stranger made an of fensive movement when he was order ed to throw up his hands. He was also found to be we'll armed
 Captain Rynning of the Arizona Rangers said that Graham did just what any reasonabls and sensible man would have done in the circumstances. If Graham had waited a moment the delay would probably have been fatal to him.
 Those who criticize Graham most are the cowboys Of that region It is not forgotten that not long ago Graham killed cowboy who had held up d

latitude. Next to Christmas, 1t is our most general holiday, and, al though it has departed from the old service of prayer and fasting, 1t is useful in making our people re- member, if only for brief inter val, how much they have to be thankful for.
 There are pessimists who take the light religious notice of the day as evidence that the cause of re- ligion is not prospering as it should in these modern times, but as soon as we begin to examine the evi- dence we find that this view Is wrong. All the hundred and more denominations, each with its spe- cial activities, are gaining in num- bers and in material resources. To- day they can claim thirty of the eighty millions of Americans en- rolled in church memberships, not including many others affiliated with religious organizations by family ties. We may add to these the twelve million children in our Sunday-schools. Remember, too, that there are thousands of mis- sionaries constantly at work doing good in every part of the world and supported by American contribu- tions. Each of the two hundred thousand churches is a centre of charitable work, of social prog ress, of ideas and energies that make for the uplift of mankind. Not even a pessimist can face such figures and such facts without ad-

We find that the harvest field is still the greatest cause for our gratitude It has moved from New England and from the Eastern slopes, and it now stretches in mil lions of acres South and West through cotton plantations and wheat lands, including all varie- ties of crops, and aggregatingsbil- lions of bushels for the food and clothing of the world.
 In the centres of speculation and in those places where wealth is most intensified, there may not be very much thanksgiving, because of the recent slump in stocks and the reaction from trust making and over capitalization. But view ing the country broadly, it's pros perity remains undisturbed, for the fields have yielded their mil lions, and the comfort and happi- ness of the great mass of Ameri- cans are perfectly secure.
 It IS a conglomerate Thanksgiv- ing which will be observed in American possessions this year. Alaska is icebound; Northern New England will probably be under a cover of snow; in the Central States the golden brown of autumn will be turning to the dreary gray of winter; far South the boys will be running barefoot as usual, while in Porto Rico and in the Philip pines it will be almost summer. The holiday will have every grada- tion ofKeather that goes Tith. the

is nothing to make 1t afraid. The sense of justice which has guided its work is now the standard of the modern world. It is not obliged to shape events to suit it's purposes, for it's purposes are so plain, so necessary and so good that events fall into line to bring them about. In this way we shall have the canal across the Isthmus. We shall ob- tain the open door in places where the hospitality seems cold at pres ent. and we shall make the flag the symbol of right and freedom wher- ever civilization exists.
 And vet it seems that the one blessing for which we should be most grateful is the magnificent promise for the generations who are coming up to claim their ca reers in the affairs of the nation. Theirs is a splendid heritage. Knowledge which has fingered SC long bursts forth in new wonders every year, and these will belong to the new Americans. What mar velous nation they will be able to make!
 A writer has said that s'gratituds is the soil on which joy thrives. So in being grateful for the past and the present and the prospect of tomorrow, there is every reason why Americans should be happy on Thanksgiving Day.

business basis, and hence we have the practical philanthropy of our modern life by which no person, however low or despised, need lack for food or medical attention. It amounts 10 tens of millions of dollars year. It comprises in it's personnel thousands of the noblest of our men and women, and 1t means an expression of human kindness which makes a high rec ord in the worlds advance. Surely, we should be thankful for this.
 In finance the contrasts are so great that they long ago ceased to be significant. Our wealth has grown by leaps and bounds until now it runs into the billions, and nobody can quite comprehend what a billion really means. We speak of the prospect of hard times as though some dreadful calamity were to take the food and fire from our homes, but even in the hard est of hard times we know no such suffering as that endured by the pilgrims who sent up their fervent thanksgiving because their little crop had turned out well. When our hard times are in imagination and not in reality, we reallzo how fortunate we are in this :ge of plenty, how in the abundance of facilities and comforts the work ingman can live happier life than did the King a century ago.
 Even sn politics we have cause for profound gratitude. It was not
Waterbury evening Democrat., 1903-11-25

so many years ago that we knew campaigns in which islander and vilification disgusted every clean mind and made us wonder to what further depths our political fights could descend. Most of that has heen corrected Politics Is on a much higher plane, and we face the Presidential contest of next year feeling certain that it will not be disfgured by the gross abuses Cf twenty years ago.
 Moreover, there is less malfeds- ance in office and a higher grade of public service. We have occasional rascals, but at least some of them get caught and find their punish meut behind prison bars. Still fur ther, people are taking a more acute and more intelligent inter est in public affairs. All this counts and counts nightly - and we should be thankful for it.
 Indeed, we must be grateful and irnmeasurably proud of the posi- tion this nation occupies. It has come to it's leadership through years of hard and splendid effort. 1t has won because it has been right. It has conquered the preju- Gices of the older nations because it has been patient. It has put it's mark upon the diplomacy of both hemispheres because it has been honest.
 So it faces the future with no uncertainty in its confidence. There

Cotton Mather wrote: 'The harvest which God thus gave to this pious people caused them to set apart another day for solemn thanksgiving to the glorious Hear CT of prayers.
 Of course this pious people meant the pilgrims. There should be no doubt whatever about their complete sanctity, for we have it instilled into us by prolific New England literature and annually repeated in official and postpran- dial declarations. It was away back in 1621 that the first Thanks giving Day was set apart by the Plymouth pilgrims in acknowledg- ment of their first harvest in America.
 Things have wondrously changed in the centuries. The people who represent the New England pill grims today and boast more spin ming wheels than a dozen Mayhow- CTS could carry have a different sort of piety, and their prosperity is told more by the smoke that comes from the factory chimneys than by the golden sweep of their harvest fields.
 But the good, solid basis remains while the piety finds different expression. It can boast of some of the best characters that the human race has ever known. And it has broadened until the credit for the making of our Thanksgiving em- braces all races, kinds and creeds.
Waterbury evening Democrat., 1903-11-25

mitting that there is cause for thankfulness in the demonstration.
 Surely we should feel grateful for what America is doing in edu- cation.
 Take, for instance, the public school system, which Is the one in- stitution that stands next to the Government itself in its value to the common veal. There are seven teen million pupils on the rolls; there is an average daily attend ance of twelve millions. There are over five hundred thousand teach CTS directing and developing these useful minds in proper ways. The world never saw such a showing as this, and it contains hope for the greater progress not only for the United States but of the entire earth. We need not stop with those figures, for we have in the private schools several millions more, and wherever there is need of special education there is an institution to supply it. The total of work being done today in the United States alone amounts to more in a week than it did in a whole year in all the world when the first Thanks giving was observed.
 We are often led to say that charity has become an organized business, that it has lost its old ardor of impulsive benevolence. Jy4er4> is some truth in this, but vharit, in these days Is so huge thing that it must be placed on a
