The bill introduced in the legis- lature to create more precinct off ces should not pass. One justice and one constable is enough for any precinct in the territory. It would doubtless be good idea to have the precinct officers elected in "off years," as it would do away with the trading of everything on the tickets for the offices of justice and constable. To create more offices will surely reduce the income of all, and it will then be impossible to get good men to serve. As it is there is barely C. living in the larg- est precincts in the territory.-Cop- per Era.

PinaI County May Be Divided

There is a movement on foot in the legislature to split Pinal county into three parts, dividing it between Maricopa, Pima and Gila counties. Pinal is a small county and many legislators believe it would be eco- nomical to abolish the full set of officers now required to administer its affairs.
 Under the proposed division, all of Pinal county south of the first meridian south of the Gila and Salt river base line and meridian will be attached to Pima county. This line passes about twelve or fifteen miles south of Florence, and the territory south of it includes Casa Grande, Mammoth and Oracle, towns which are tributary to Tucson. All of the territory in Pinal west of line ten miles east of Florence would be in Maricopa county, giv- ing that county Florence, a town tributary to Phoenix. The remain der of the county, including some valuable mineral districts, would go to Gila.
 The representatives from Pima, Maricopa and Gila are all said to be in favor of the division, but nat urally those from Pinal are fighting it.-TucsOn Post.

ernor-chairman as Governor Odell of New York is called.
 Last spring Judge Kibbey was elected the delegate from this county to the republican national conven- tion and more recently was appoint ed attorney general for the territory, so that he is in every way we'll known to the people of Arizona, is perfectly qualified to serve as gov ernor, and to give universal satis- faction to every person in Arizona.
 The most surprising thing brought by the telegraph yesterday was the story of the appointment of Eugene A. Tucker to be associate justice. The afternoon dispatches did not state to what district Judge Tucker had been assigned nor did they definitely mention this territory. The new judge is credited to Nebras ka but none of the Nebraskans now in the city ever heard of him.
 Something more of him is known at Tucson where it was said last night he had been appointed to fill the place of Judge Davis in the first district. It is known that some time ago Judge Davis resigned, his resignation to take effect April 1.
 It appears to be known at Tucson that Judge Tucker is fifty years of age and a resident of small town not far from Lincoln, Neb..; that he served for a time as a district judge in that state and was at one time a member of the legislature.
 But Judge Neville, member of the legislature of this territory, for twelve years district judge in Ne braska, frequently member of the legislature of that state and con- gressman for two terms from it, had never heard of Judge Tucker. Hon, Watson Pickrell, another member of the present legislature of Arizona and former member of the Nebras- ka legislature, was ignorant regard ing the new Arizona judge Mayor Frank E. Moores of Omaha, who is spending the winter in Phoenix, was equally in the dark.-Republi- can,

"BAT" MASTERSON
 NOW U. 5. MARSHAL

from the United States marshal you will be wise if you throw up your hands and go along without any fuss. For it is more than likely that the United States will be rep resented by MT. William Barnaby Masterson, better known as "Bat," all around bad man" and "gun fghter.' says the New York World.
 The official announcement has been made that "Bat" is to be ap pointed deputy for this district, and United States Marshal Henkel expects him to drop in most any day now to take the oath of office. ''Bat" owes his appointment direct ly to President Roosevelt, who is his friend and admirer.
 The president met Masterson when he was ranching in the west, and they have been friends ever since. Masterson was in Washing ton for a week a year ago and had a daily chat with the president about the old days in the west. Masterson is friend of Captain Seth Bullock of Deadwood, s. D., another of the presidents intimates from the west.
 "Bat" Masterson is credited with twenty eight notches on the handle of his "gun," indicating that he has killed that number of men. Bat" doesen't do much talking about these episodes in his career, con tenting himself with saying that whatever shooting he has done has been in the strict performance of his duty.
 q don't believe in fighting ex- cept when have to-" said he.
 About 1877 he was made marshal of Dodge City, Kan. by the class of gamblers known out there as re- spectacle, which meant that they would not stand for crooked game. Bats" task was to drive out the crooks, and he proceeded to do it in the most effective manner at the point of his gun. There were run ming street fights, in which pistols rang out like musketry.
 "Bat" cut the first notch in his gun at settlement known as Adobe Wall, on the Canadian river, and it was only the fact that his gun spoke an instant before the other fellows that saved his life.
 That same night band of Indi- ans led by a renegade negro at tackled Masterson and his men, and were not put to flight until Master son put a bullet through the negro's heart.
 Masterson's greatest record as a man. killer was made when six cow boys killed his brother in Dodge City. Then they took possession of dance hall and began to "shoot it up."
 Into this crowd walked "Bat."
 All of you get out of here except the fellows that killed my brother" " he commanded.
 There was only one movement, and that was for guns. but "Bat" killed the six cowboys.
 Masterson came to New York in 1893 at the request of Thomas Byrnes, then superintendent of po- lice. George Gould had been re- ceiving number of letters believed to be from an insane man, who threatened to kill him on sight.
 "You had better get a man to look after you who wouldn't be afraid to shoot up Broadway at the noon hour and who would hit what he shot at," was the advice given by Byrnes.
 "Bat" got the job. The crank was finally arrested outside Helen Gould's house. In 1902 Matterson was arrested with James A. Sulli- van, J. F. Saunders and Leopold Frank, charged with having crooked gambling implements in their pos session. A Chicago man named Snow: stopping at the Waldorf, de-

also sent to the senate to be aSSOcI- ate justice of the susreme court of Arizona.
 The news of the appointment of Judge Kibbey was received with extreme satisfaction among all classes of our citizens. At the cap itol Governor Brodie expressed qualification to a Gazette represen- tative and stated that he knew that Judge Kibbey's appointment would be endorsed by everyone.
 Secretary Nichols said thata bet ter appointment could not have been made, as there was no man in Arizona better able to continue the policies promulgated by Governor Brodie than Judge Kibbey.
 Members of the house and council both republicans and democrats were equally loud in their praises of the presidents choice and from their utterances it is certain that the close and cordial feelings now existing between the legislature and the executive will not be changed even though the change is made in the governorship.
 All during the afternoon Judge Kibbey was the recipient of many congratulations.
 The career of Judge Kibbey has been brilliant one and there is no man in Arizona who has taken a more prominent part in the affairs of the territory. His experience as Chief Justice of Arizona, as a lawyer at the bar, and intimate connection with all interests of the territory make him peculiarly fitted to per form the duties of the office of gov ernor.
 He is a native of Indiana. and was educated at Earlham college, a Quaker institution, near Richmond, in that state. His fatherand grand father both occupied judicial positions for long terms. Judge Kibbey was admitted to practice law in 1875 at Richmond, where he remained until early in 1888 when he came to Arizona as the attorney for the promoters of canal compa- ny. Late in 1893 he removed from Florence to Phoenix and here re- entered in the practice of law in which he is now engaged. In 1902 he was elected a member from this county of the legislative council. He is married and has two children, a son and daughter, both of whom are married.
 In politics the Judge is an uncom- promising republican and has al- ways taken an active interest in the campaigns in this county and throughout Arizona He has been il demand as public speaker in ev- cry campaign, and has been indefa- tigable in his work for the republican party. For these reasons, if for no other, his appointment is especially pleasing to the republicans of Marico pa county, who have always found Joe Kibbey ready and willing to do more than his share of the work in- cident to politicial campaigns.
 He has been chairman of the re- publican committee twice and at the present time occupies the position of chairman of the territorial com mittee and will therefore be a gov

Education is For All.

Modern democracy, realizing the
menace of ignorance to her very exist
ance, has resolved that every child
within her bounds, rich or poor, white
or colored, shall have an opportunity
to get all the education it can take.
Nothing less than this will meet the re-
quirements and fulfill the ideals of a
government "of the people, for the
people and by the people,
Schoolhouses and schoolmasters are
cheaper than jails and soldiers, but we
do not found the public school on any
such ground as this. Such arguments
for free schools is little less than an
insult to a free people. The democracy

eminent, and when it shall have done
its full duty in this respect there will
be no need of policemen and soldiers.
There is no class, no aristocracy, in
education. Education is for all.
