In Darkest Pennsylvania.


Philadelphia is one of the worst governed cities
of the world but the knavery of her politicians is
now becoming so fragrant that the people may at
last be aroused to sense of civic responsible
ity. For some time seventy-fve year franchise
to the United Gas Improvement Company has
been pending before the city council although
ninetenths of the citizens regarded it as colos-
sal steal. In spite Of public opinion however the
councilmen shamelessly delivered the goods" last
Thursday night, voting as they had evidently been
paid to do. But the citizens who crowded the
halls Kissed them as 'thieves" and more than one
rope dangled significantly from the galleries
'EThe councilrnen went home under strong police
guard" told, with hooting crowds at their
heels" All this is encouraging. We do not ap-
prove of lawlessness or rioting, but this was the
only way the people could express themselves, and
it is good to see such display of righteous in
dignation in State which has just confessed it's
unblushing servility by voting a monument to

THE ARIZONA STRIP
 COVETED BY UTAH
Congressman Howell of That State Tells What
 Is to Be Done With t

When a few days ago Congress
 man Howell, of Utah, introduced
 his bill for the annexation of tha
 part of Arizona lying across tn,
 Grand Canyon to Utah very little
 interest was felt in this territory
 Utah had for so long been introduc
 ing bills of this character that the
 business had become routine. I,
 had become as formal a proceeding
 as the swearing in of the congress
 men from that state. But Con-
 gressman Howell is evidently in earnest about it. He had an arti- cle in a recent number of the Des. eret News descriptive of the "strip' and of what Utah would do with it after it had acquired it. Mir. How ell said, among other things:
 "It is perhaps superauous to say that this strip is that part of Ari- zona adjoining Utah and separated from the balance of that territory by the immense chasm of the Col orado river. In area it is some what nearly equal to San Juan county in our state. In character it is not different from the country around St. George and Kanab-| that is to say, in going south there are the same pink sandstone cliffs, the same sage brush prairies, the excessive dryness. The extreme portion abutting on the Grand Canyon-is a lofty plateau, ] densely wooded and known locally as Buckskin mountains, and in the geological books as Kaihab plateau. This Buckskin mountain is thirty pr forty miles wide and fifty long, md it is at present included in a forest reserve. This is 'y far the most interesting part of he strip.
 "There is every reason apparent y why this strip should be annexed o Utah; but greatest of all is the geographical reason. The Grand ;anyon of the Colorado is an all ut impossible barrier between the 'eople of the strip and the bal. ( nee of the population, while there i nothing but an imaginary bound. t ry line between Utah and this part T f Arizona.
 "It fatigues one merely to con- g 'mplate in imagination the diff. r llties and distance to be overcome i, citizen of Fredonia, the only r. 'wn on the strip, in going to his Ii 'unty seat. Flagstaff, on the other P de of the Grand Canyon, to trans e # necessary business. il

Who Stole the Money7

George w. Glowner, a territorial
 democratic committeeman and a
 well known attorney of Flagstaff,
 Ariz., is in Los Angeles for a weeks
 visit. Talking last evening about
 political matters in Arizona he said:
 "The most interesting bit of pol- itical gossip there is ..h..astt which concerns Henry F. Ashurst, district attorney of Coconino county, the original Hearst man of that section.
 We have gotten his consent to run for congress and he looks like four time winner. He is a young man, just a trifle over 30, and has been in politics since he was 20. and has a record of winning every fight he has been in. He has been to the legislature every time we have asked and could be there nov had he not taken the district attor- office.
 During the Hearst campaign at New York he bet four Stetson hats against as many pairs of two bit stockings that Hearst would be mayor. That is just how enthusi- 'stic he is over the Hearst princi- ,les which he is fighting for. He 8 just as confident now that Hearst vas elected as he is that he is him. elf district attorney.
 elf Arizona is made a state WA rant MT. Ashurst for congressman ie will run against all the old lossbacks there are and beat them ut before the start is made. That how. much faith we have in our lstrict attorney. He has only one nemy, and that is man whom he as prosecuted for stealing some. ling like $6OOO or $7OOO."-Los ngeles Examiner, Dec. 21.

ASHURST AND HEARST
Henry Tickles Willie and Is Ticklcd
 in Turn

Under the caption of "A Good
 Man For Arizona" the Los Angeles
 Examiner of Dec. p, said edit
 orially:
 The interesting statement comes from Arizona that Henry F. Ash
 urst, the able and eloquent district attorney of Coconino county, has consented to be candidate for con- gress.
 This is distinctly creditable to the citizens of the territory who have asked him to represent them. He is man of ideas and one who has studied existing conditions. He represents a real, instead of a sham democracy. He believes in a gov. ernment by the people for the peo- pie and he is opposed to the domi- nation of the railway and other trusts.
 Asa delegate in congress he would justify the right of Arizona to sep arate statehood, and he may safely be trusted to look after the interests ot the people of the territory. He IS one of the type of young men who are much in evidence now all over the country, who are studying the new and vital issues of the day instead of threshing over the old straw of the last century. He lives Tn the present, not the past, realiz- ing full we'll that
 New occasions make new duties; lime makes ancient good uncouth."
 The hope of the future, in Ari. 'ona and elsewhere throughout the and, lies in men of the caliber of Henry F. Ashurst. Facing the lawn and not the setting sun, re- eptive to new ideas in keeping 7ith modern progress and changed onditions, they will help to solve he problems, at hand and to come. y the novel methods which the olution of those problems demand that the rights of the people shall g maintained.

"When we were there the deputy
 sheriff was just about to start fol
 Flagstaff with man charged witl
 some crime; he told us he would
 have to travel nearly 300 miles by
 team; this at terrible expense to
 the territory, before he finally
 reached home. The witness fees

 tance affair as this would soon run
 into money.'
 "The people resident on the strip
 are closely united socially with the
 people of Kanab, from whom they
 are separated by a paltry eight
 miles-another reason in favor of annexation. Besides this, the tim
 Der. the grazing, and the game exist only for the few people of the strip and those of southern Utah; these are quite inaccessible to the balance of Arizona's population by reason of the impassable barrier-the Can yon.
 The opposition to annexation comes from the people of Arizona that is, from all but those on the strip, and when the matter was be. fore congress Arizona's delegate would not consent to the proposi. tion, and so the passage of the bill | was not urged by our own delega- tion. It was represented that Ari- zona did not like to part with such considerable slice of her territory some compensation; and that there were valuable deposits 'f mineral on the strip, which were about to be opened up and from which the state would derive con- siderable prestige as we'll as some population and indirectly some 'evenue.

Bill" Colonel Cody) and some l wealthy Englishmen had their eyes on this locality as a game preserve and saw it's wonderful possibilities but for some reason their idea did not take concrete shape. At pres. ent the chief exponent of the idea as perhaps also it's father is Hon.
 E. D. Woolley, of Kanab, Utah. He, perhaps better than any one
 else, knows this country and it's
 possibilities, and is taking active
 steps toward carrying out the idea.
 To this end company has lately
 been formed. including MT. Wool
 ley. Buffalo" Jones, late game com
 missioner of the Yellowstone park,
 and other wealthy men as mem-
 bers. This company proposes to
 promote travel to the Grand Can
 yon from the Utah side and will
 also engage in experiments in cross-
 ing buffaloes with Hereford cattle
 and in raising other breeds of cattle
 and sheep. The company has al-
 ready secured some buffalo, elk,
 Persian sheep and Angora goats.
 The proposition has also been
 brought to the attention of Presi- dent Roosevelt and the secretary of agriculture, and, it is said, has their hearty endorsement; as re- suit, certain privileges and conces- sions are to be extended to the com. pany ill order to assist it in what it ] is undertaking.
 Buffalo Jones is said to be the Luther Burbank of the animal kingdom, so we may expect some great results from the movement with which he is associated. He is highly enthusiastic over the propo- sition to create here a new national park and game preserve, which, in the light of his long experience in the Yellowstone park, speaks we'll or the possibilities of this region. ( Apropos of the crossing of buffaloes c with Herefords, it is said that V MT. Jones had on exhibition c n the east year or so ago t hide from such cross b 'reed that was superior to the real g. 'uffalo hide; he refused an offer of & 1900 for it. President Roosevelt b aw it and was mighty pleased, so ouch so that he fell in with the 1eas of MT. Jones to the utmost.
 "It is difficult at this time to say d 'hen these two propositions-an- " exation and the new national A ark-will be carried out, but it vi sems reasonably certain that they p' i'll come some day. sa "Mr. Woolley lately succeeded in
 long cherished ambition to get a it nited States senator down into co le country so that he might have at 'me knowledge of it first hand. I or fer to the visit of the Hon. Reed
 moot, of whose party the writer ru as a member. The old adage, seing is believing is true in this m, SC, for l am quite sure all the be embers of the party were thor an ghly convinced of the advisabil- fig of annexation and saw the ad- to ntages of the creation of a new ha tional park and game preserve. ha is now MT. Woolley's hope to ne evail on President Roosevelt to 'it the strip as a pre-eminent Ne iucement there is the abundance ags game on Buckskin mountain sto ich would naturally appeal to ma n. If the president does come, it ast certain that these two proposi- ple ns will have another and power is i exponent" was

he Is anxious to remove 1t If others will do likewise. The suggestion IS a good one and The News would like to see 1t carried out. The signs are not only dangerous to persons and prop erty, but present an unsightly appearance. The appearance of the business street would be greatly enhanced by their re- moval, and a small neat metal sign fastened on the fronts of buildings would answer every purpose.
 It has always been the policy of The News to publish free of charge short obituary notices, resolutions of respect, etc., all though they are of no interest to anyone except the relatives of the person in whose memory they are written. Sometimes, however. there Is limit. For instance. not long ago The News printed an account of the death of citi- zen of this locality, giving all the facts that would prove of general interest. The next week We printed synopsis of the address delivered at the burial, and the next week there was handed Tn for publication a set of resolu- tions adopted by a fraternal or ganization, copy of letter re- ceiyed by family of deceased from a friend and also an obituary no- tice. In justice to the readers of the paper We could not of course, publish all these things. We make mention of this in the hope that in the future such notices may be made as brief as possible.
