GOVERNOR CANN or COMMUTE
No Provision in the Territorial Statutes
for Such Action

Governor Kibbey has made the dis
coyery that there is no statute en-
powering the chief executive of this
| territory to commute sentences, al
though he can pardon, grant reprieves
and remit fines. There have been in
stances Of governors of Arizona grant
ing communication of sentence but
when application was made to Judge
Kibbey in the case of Theodore Elias
the official looked up the law on the
subject and found there was no pro-
vision for such action Attorney Cen
eral Clark also investigated the matter
and reached the same conclusion as
Governor Kibbey.
About three years ago Elias was
sentenced to be hanged for the muir
der of Constable William Katzenstein
at Tucson, but before the date fixed
for his execution arrived he was hope
lessly insane. SO he was not hanged
and is still in the county Jail of Pima
county. An effort was recently made
to have him admitted at the territorial
asylum but under the order of court
sentencing him to be executed he can
not be removed from Jail, hence an APP
plication for communication TO life inn
prisonment wa made About the only
thing the governor can do now TO allow
Of the prisoner being taken to the
asylum is to pardon him and there is
objection to tina Gazette.

THE SAME HoGGIsH SPIRIT

A delegation of thirty members of
the American-Asiatic association has
called on President Roosevelt to ask
that the Chinese exclusion act be so
modified that their market for cotton
goods, iron and steel in the Orient be
not imperilled In other words these
people say aloud: please, Mr.. Presi-
dent, be nice to the poor Chinese and
save our dollars In effect they
have said: "D-n this howl of Ameri-
canism The chinks will stay on the
coast and not bother us here in the
the east. If they should we'd make it
hot for them. But our pockets must
be protected" When Teddy gets the
Car tanned he will probably say few
words to this all-self crowd.

Berkeley, California, has tried a
unique plan of election with great sue
cess. The voter had ballot with stub
mailed to him, and statement of the
matter to be voted upon. A stamped
envelope was also enclosed with a
smaller one to receive the ballot. Each
voter was given number and com
plete record of the voting was
simple matter while the secrecy
of the ballot was also protected. The
trial has attracted widespread attention.

OHiCi0| P0DeT Of Gl|Q County.
SHORT SERMON ON EQUITY

xIt is rarely that the SILVER BELT
uses any of it's space in its own behalf.
These columns are used wholly and
solely for the interests of Globe and
ella county and, as newspaper of local
value has no apologies to make to its
readers when compared with any other
publication that may come under their
notice.
Contemporary journals in the terri
tory say very flattering thing about the
BELT and scarcely a mail is received
at this office that does not bring com
piments of the highest order from far
away subscribers who admire the week
ly compendium of life in Globe where
their interests lie.
IL our readers and advertisers will
notice, the paper belongs wholly to
Globe. There are no foreign ads in
its columns and the local merchants do
not have their advertisements buried
in a sea of patent ads and foreign mat
ter. We use no boiler plate" to save
composition, but the twenty to twenty
five columns of live matter printed
each week is all ''hand set in this
office, making it the most expensive
paper to print of all the weeklies in the
southwest.
If patent medicine ad appears in
the SILVER BELT, it is the announce
ment that local dealer offers it for
sale. If foreign cigar is advertised it
is because local house is pushing its
sale. The paper is wholly at the dis
posals of its Globe friends and neigh
bors.
Every issue is a boost to the Globe
district and its mining columns have
done as much, if not more, than any
other factor for the upbuilding of this
camp. Their accuracy and honesty are
unquestioned and the articles are copied
far and wide, their influence extending
over many states and penetrati ing the
great centers of mining investment
capital the world over.
We therefore suggest that it is only
equity for the local advertiser to be
stow his patronage on the SILVER BELT
not merely TO contribute TO its sup
port-but because it pays them better
than any other medium. Would you
think it fair if we printed beside your
advertisement the claims of some for
eign house that they would sell the
same goods cheaper than you offer
them? Many papers do this.
Our job office is one of the best in the .
southwest and the character OF the I
work turned out is as finished and ar
tistic as any to be obtained anywhere. /
If you spend a few dollars more in a
year for your business stationery, do .
you not get it back an hundred fold in
the work the SILVER BELT is continu-
ally doing for Globe and its future
A force Of six men is constantly en- .
ployed here and the money spent each /
week in Globe from their earnings is a
very considerable amount and local
merchants benefit directly.
Is it equity to order your job printing
done away from home. under these
Just think it over and tote fair. "

or mouth parts and has no bones in its
body. Therefore it cannot bite, cannot
eat the cabbage that surrounds it, and
it only obtains it's vitality by the alb
sorpti0n of the juices in the cabbage.
1t is classed by entomologists as Cor
dins variabilis, or hair worm, as it is
not much larger than a No. s thread.
1t is seldom found in cabbage.
This worm is usually found as a
parasite within grasShoppers, and

All the stories Of deaths from eating

suits will follow, and it is probable
that hundreds have been eaten this
season and the eaters thereof were not
aware of the fact.

SHEEP SHORTAGE.
The Outlook For Mutton and Wool
Never Than mt Present.

Never Brighter Than mt Present,
find themselves up against a peculiar
situation. and many of them are at a
loss how to proceed" says a writer in
the Detroit Tribune. There are many
feeders who We're of opinion that re-
ceipts of western sheep at Chicago
would be larger late in the season and
have waited in the belief that they
would be able to get their orders filed
at lower prices. Present indications
look as if there would be few Of the
bargains that have been offered in 9th
er years.
Never before in the history of the
Chicago yards has there been such a
pressing demand for feeding sheep and
lambs. Every day now the sheep pens
are full of strangers who are looking
for bargains, and every desirable
bunch is caught up at high prices com
pared with other years. The outlook
for wool and mutton vas never bright
er than at present, and the general be-
lief is that sheep and lamb feeders will
make plenty of money this year, no
matter what they pay for feeding
stock"
The Wool S~hrinkaEe.
The shrinkage of supplies is 'the
only explanation Of the continued rise
In wool values In the face of indiffer-
emf trade" according to an English pa
per. This authority says: Everywhere
the number of sheep has been declin-
ing. In the United Kingdom there has
been q considerable decline in our
iocks, and home grown woods have in
many cases about doubled in value
during the last two years. On the con-
tinent of Europe the falling off has
been much more marked, for in the
German empire alone the number Of
sheep during the last thirty years has
fallen from 2 5,O00,0O0 to 100000.
which show that in the United States
and Canada also the same process is
going on. But of course the chief fac
tor in the present position has been
the terrible havoc caused among flocks
by the late seven consecutive years of
drought in Australia. Out of 100000
600 sheep more than half succumbed,
and shipments of wool fell away from
about 1000. 900 bales, at which they
stood in 1894. to about 100000 bales
during the wool year which ended June
