4 BETTER SALARY AND A LONGER
TERM.

For a good many years the question
Of increasing the salaries of the judges
of the Superior Court has been under
discussion, and the stronger argument
has always been in favor of an in
crease. There is no doubt that $4,000
is a small salary for a judge of
so important court as the
Superior Court. and that $4,000 but
poorly pays the judges of the Su-
preme Court
We do not know that the judges
would render the state any better
service if they were better paid. be-
cause they do the best they can now.
but by increasing their pay the state
would be doing a simple act of jus
tice, The State Bar Association has
just recommended that the salaries of
the Supreme Court judges be increased
to $4,000 and those of the Superior
Court judges to $4,000. The Legisla-
ture ought to act favorably on the
recommendation. Surely the time has
come when the state can afford to pay
it's judges living salaries.
1t MAY be said that the positions are
sought at the present salaries. That
may be true. but it doesn't follow that
judges get what they ought to have
The salaries were fixed at a time
when the state was very poor. She
isn't rich yet, but she is rich enough
to treat her judges more literally.
We understand, of course, that there
is a pressure for an increase in APP
preparations all along the line, but there
are some things proposed in pending
bills which call for money that can
wait awhile. For instance. there is
no reason why veterans having COM
Portable incomes should be given pen
sions.
The State Bar Association also pro-
poses that the terms of the Judges
of the Superior Court be made six
years. They are now fouf The propo-
sition is a good one. Some irregu-
larities in the Fast primary brought out
considerable condemnation of the
practice of "scrambling for the judge
ships" and of dragging the ermine in
the political mire." Is there any way
wholly apart from politics of choosing
judges? If not. wouldn't it be ad-
visable to give the present method of
choosing them a further trial. in the
meantime lengthening the term to six
years?
Sometime ago, when some of the
papers of the state were calling for a
change in the method of choosing the
judges, we called attention to the fact
that the present method was adopted
because the people had lost confidence
in other methods. Why go back 10
the old methods before fully testing
the present one? Pay the judges bet
ter and lengthen their term before
changing the method of choosing them
and see what the result will be.

Some years ago Mr.. Winter was

account of them to r. H. Stoddard in
New York. Mr.. Stoddard received the
letter at breakfast and combining ia
miliarity with the intuitions of the
poet, managed to make it out, and en-
joyed several good laughs. He glanced
up at Mrs. Stoddard and said:
Its from William Winter. Very
funny. Want to read it?"
You know l can never read a word
of his writing" answered Mrs. Stod-
dard.

GAS A CHINAMAN saw US.

A new book has been issued from
the press of the Appletons under the
above title. While it is open to a
legitimate doubt that the work is from
the pen of an Oriental, nevertheless
the viewpoint of the Oriental is so
cieverly taken and the criticisms of the
Americans are so apropos and point
ed, though not always new, that it is
conceivable that an educated and OBJ
servant Chinaman is the author.
The Chinese author-critic is sup
posed to have been educated at home,

pecially about the customs of the coun-

civilization goes back for thousands of
years.
Like the average European who

 MT. Andre has located five mining claims, covering all the mica crop pings. From the surface he has got ten out a considerable quantity of merchantable mica, the sheets running up to 6x7 1-2 inches in size. The smallest merchantable size is 2X2 inches, for which $3.5O pound is paid The mica is almost pure white and as clear as glass, remarkably tough and capable of being split into sheets of less than tissue-paper thinness.
 Samples sent to London have been declared better than the Russian mica, considered the best on the market Walter Graichen, a mineralogical expert in the employ of the govern ment of Saxony. has purchased a share in the Andre claims and will exploit them abroad. From Germany, through Graichen's report, already has come a large offer for the claims.

FOUND HIS WITNESS
The Man Who Can Establish the Ino-
 cence of Erickson.

Charles Erickson, the young man charged with complicity with David son in the theft of lot of jewelry be- longing to Mrs. Josephine Lund, yes terday found the witness who, he ssid could get him out of the trouble. Err ickson's connection with the case rest ed upon the circumstance that the jewelry was found in his trunk. He ex- plained that Davidson put it there at the M. & P. depot; that it was in a bundle, and that he had suggested to Davidson that it ought to be unrolled and put in in such a way that it would not take up so much room, fer the trunk was already crowded.
 Erickson said that this conversation was overheard by young man, who, if he could be found, would prove that Erickson knew nothing of the con- tents of the bundle. This story was printed in The Republican yesterday morning ard before noon George Miner called at this office to say that he was the man who had overaeard the conver- sation and that it had occurred sub stantially as Erickson had described it.
 There wac an impression before that Erickson was telling the truth and when Miner testifies today he will un- doubtedly be discharged. Davidson seems anxious to connect Erickson with the crime. He was asked if Err ickson had anything to do with it. He replied that the stuff had been found in Erickson's trunk and then he shrugged his shoulders in a way that meant that the inquirer could draw his own conclusion as to the guilt or inno- cenceof Erickson.
 Davidson's valise furnishes evidence that for some time he had been en- gagged in stealing from Lund's drug store. It contained a large variety of patent medicines, hair and clothes brushes, two large boxes of compound cathartic pills and a great many other things which he had lifted from the shelves of the store.

was held at the residence of Mrs. Gull yer last evening at 7:30 o'clock and the body left on this mornings train 1 for Detroit, where the regular funeral l service will be held and interment be
 made. Rev. Lapsley A. McAfee off,
 ciated at the house service last night. ". J. Murphy will meet the body
 at Ash Fork today and escort it
 to Detroit. One of the step daughters
 of the dead man resides in Detroit and
 the other, who lives in Chicago, will
 also be present at the funeral.
 Thomas Murphy was a very quiet
 and unassuming man and altogether a
 successful one in most of his business
 enterprises. For many years he has
 been a leading figure in Detroit. He
 was the inventor of the Murphy smokeless furnace and the head of the Murphy Iron Works of Detroit, foundry enterprise, the chief business of which was the manufacture of this furnace. He also owned a number of tug boats and wrecking apparatus that found employment along the great lakes and was interested in as- sociated industries.
 MT. Murphy was always closely af- flliated with church work and was a very active member of a leading De- troit Congregational church, lending it strong financial support as well as his personal influence in both church and Sunday-schCol affairs.
 Though MT, Murphy did not court publicity in Arizona affairs, he was nevertheless a central figure in the in- dustrial development of the Salt River valley and might we'll be called one of the valleys chief builders He did not call this home but he has for some years spent most of his winters here. He was largely interested in the Phoenix Trust company, of which his brother, w. J. Murphy is at the head and he was also large owner of real ty in this valley, his holdings being agricultural lands mainly. He had various properties, we'll improved, oc- cupied and cared for by others. He owned three perfectly equipped we'll drilling outfits and at the time of his death had two complete gasoline en- zine pumping plants, designed for ir- rigation purposes, in process of con- struction. One of them is on the Me Dowell road, just beyond the Brill ad- dition, and the other is on Section 30, near the cross-cut canal
 Mir Murphy was also a director in the Eastern Sugar Co.,, and was very active in the movement for placing the company on it's feet and completing the of the sugar factory at Glendale. A few days before his sick ness he made a drive of sixty-miles, showing the country to a prospective eastern investor who had in mind as sociating himself in the enterprise.
 While he was somewhat ad- vanced in years he was seem- ingly yet at the zenith of an un- usually active business career and his death is deplored not only by a wide circle of personal friends, but by all who knew of the magnitude and inn portance of his life work.

Murphy was taken i'll only a week ago yesterday. He was 69 years old and leaves a wife, daugh- ter and two step daughters, in his inn mediate family, the family home being in Detroit. He was a brother of w. J. Murphy, Mrs. M. M. Culver and Mrs. Leander Utley, all residing in or near Phoenix, and there are beside, numer- ous other relatives and connections here, as well as host of personal friends who will be both surprised and pained to learn of the sudden ending of his career.
 MT. Murphy's daughter is an art student, having recently finished her studies in New York, and she was preparing to leave for Europe when she received the news of her fathers serious illness and at once started west, meeting her mother in Chicago W. J. Murphy was in Massachusetts when he received the same information and started west joining his sister-in- law and niece in Chicago. The party left for Phoenix at once on the fastest train available, but was intercepted at HutchisOn Kansas, by a message an- nouncing MT. Thomas Murphy's death.
