STUDIED MISREPRESENTATION

The campaign now being pushed with what vigor it's handful of forlorn hope may press its unworthy cause, is one of studied and unblushing misrepre- sentation. The New Mexican jointists no longer talk plausibly and use fair sounding arguments, albeit they were ever without logic of truth, but they just howl and howl and lie and he.
 At Albuquerque the joint statehood convention, called for the purpose of
 boosting the graft, was perfect farce in point of attendance of delegates or result of meeting. The Tucson fiasco was an occasion for crepe and collins.
 Yet the press of New Mexico, or that portion of it advocating jointure, and the few sheets in Arizona that echo the belchings of the New Mexican hire lings, put forth columns of rot and absolute falsehood regarding those meetings ard the status of public opinion.
 In Arizona we know the truth, and the people of New Mexico are not blinded to the real conditions. But, in Washington these lies find some to give them credence, to the detriment of Arizonas position before Congress. The Territorial anti-jont statehood league must see to it that the truth shall be as thoroughly disseminated as are the lies. The need of large dele gation is now conclusively shown every day, and it is to be hoped that enough men may go from Arizona, armed and equipped with the necessary proofs, and lay siege to both houses of Congress, to antidote the poison of Beveridge and his cohorts.
 The Albuquerque Morning Journal has mailed to newspapers far and wide a reprint of an editorial which appeared in it's issue of December 21. The text and burden of the harangue is that Arizona should wake up."
 Good Lord Mir. Editor, wake up :? Will you just come over the borde.' and talk joint statehood to the first dozen men you meet-that IS, white men and see how thoroughly they'll wake you up! We're altogether tJo wide awake to allow any New Ne Sican surgeon to put your kind of dope under our cuticle, and will admit that we are too dense to be influenced by the pecu- liar kind of alleged arguments w.Sh which so many columns have recently been filled by the editorial quills of your opinion holders.
 You have everything to gain and not penny to lose, on your side of the house. We have whole lot to lose credit, great wealth and a high grade of citizenship, which we do not propose to pIt into the par tnership deal to offset yodr political eypec- fence.
 Our carpet-bag administration is bad enough, heaven knows, but what you would foist upon us is much worse. Never mind our troGbles, neighbo., We will manage to wiggle along some way and pay our bills. If your record smelled listle less loudly we might be a little more friendly; but if yoI have any conscience left just take look backward on your ring governed Terri tory's history, and stop blushing if you can. You have some good people in New Mexico and some migh.y bad ones. The latter are chiefly in control of what passes for politics in your country and, having milked your terri tory poor, they want an enlarged field. That's the whole game.
 We positively refuse to be it.

JUDGE WAVES REPLY
 TO THE HENEY CHARGES
Has Been Forwarded for Consideration of President, and the Result is
 Looked for Anxiously

Judge Nave left Saturday morning for Los Angeles, to spend the holidays with his wife's family. He said en route that he had received copy of the Heney charges and could absolutely refute them. He considered them very trivial and easily disposed of. He said he would forward his reply to Wash ingtoa soon a. CT reaching Los Angeles Judge Nave vii attend the ne;,t session of the teri orial supreme cou.t at Phoenix, in January. He made the announcement that the federal court would sit at Solomonville pending the completion of the Gila county court house. The February term is probably the only one to be held in Graham county.
 A petition was circulated and signed by all prominent merchants and business men of the city, asking the president to reaffirm his appointment, and ex- pressing the utmost confidence in his integrity ana aDiuLy.
 Resolutions by the Bar
 At meeting Of the Gila County Bar Association, on Thursday night last, the following resolu ions were unani- mJus!y adopted
 WHEREAS, Hon. Frede lick s. Nave has presided as Judge of the District Court of he Fifth Judicial Dis ret of the Territory o. Arizona with dstin- ting 4ished abih y and fairness and 70 the enure satioSac ion Of the bar and citizens o said dis ri?t; and

 WHEREAS, The members of the bar in and for Gila county have assembled to formulate an expression of their wishes concerning the appointment of Frederick s. Nave as judge, as a'ore- said:
 Now, THEREFORE, |. is hereby unan- imously resolved bv the members of the bar in and for G;l, county:
 That the intsr' ty and aoi,ity of Hoo. F 4derick s. Nave are es; lbtished beyond question, and tnat he is in every respect highly qualified for the office which he has filled w, distinguished ability, and that 1t is highly essential to the bast interests Of the judiciary of | this Territory and of the citizens of this judicial d.st rict that his name be | submitted 10 the Senate for confirma- ton.
 That we have learned with profound | regret that his name has been withheld | from the Senate, and we u~ge that the here ore made be con firmed.
 That Fro le~ick s. Nave. having qualified and acted as a judge of this district and Territory, his appointment should only be wi.hd,awn for such grave reasons as would warrant the President in dismissing a judge om the bench.
 That we profoundly believe that objections made against Frederick S. Nave will, upon fair examination, be found malicious and unwarranted.
 That we hereby declare our absolute faish in his integrity and ability as a man and judge, and our belief that dismissal would amount to an absolute wrong to Judge Nave and to the citi- .ens of this Territory.
 That copy of these resolutions be signed by our chairman and secretary, md be respectfully laid before the President. 2. J. EDWARDS, GEO. R. HILL,
