in the general strike inaugurated by
similar institutions in Russia and de-
cided to close the university until fall
1t was the first joint meeting of pro-
fessors and students ever authorized,
but in view of the gravity of the stu.
alton it was hoped that the presence
of the professors, most of whom are
in complete sympathy with the liberal
movement, would exercise a restrain
ing influence. Earnest speeches were
made declaring that promises could
no longer avail, denouncing the course
of the government and stating that the
only satisfaction would be freedom of
speech, of conscience and of the press
and the calling of national assembly
Almost every orator went back to the
French revolution for parallels. Again
and again was Russia declared to be
on the eve of revolution.
The few foreign correspondents ad-
mitted to the University were amazed
at the incendiary character of the
meeting and the absolute freedom
with which the students, knowing
that the auditorium was filled with
spies, boldly made themselves liable
to charge of treason. But the speech

Bisbee daily review., 1905-11-08

The Phoenix Enterprise publishes a letter from Judge F. NJ Doan. written to Governor Brodie while that gentle. man was governor of Arizona, recon. mending the pardon Of Walter Trim. ble, the rapist convicted in Graham county and sentenced to tke reniten, tiary for life. But the Enterprise did not publish the fact that the D asent district attorney of Grahar' county visited Fl Paso and secured affidavits and statements from public officials which showed clearly that Judge Doan had been deceived and that on this counter showing that Governor Brodie refused the pardon asked for Trimble at that time. Now that the Enterprise has given the public part of the record in the Trimble pardon case we suggest that all the papers in the case be published.

The refusal of Paul lessen of Ne. braska to accept the Arizona judge. ship rendered him is further evidence of the high character and manhood of that gentleman. Judge lessen evj dently recognized the strong senti. ment for home rule in Arizona and did not care to play the role of a carpet. bag office holder in the west. In our opinion the refusal of lessen is a mis. fortune to Arizona, as his acknowl. edged high character and ability will hardly be duplicated in any one likely to be appointed in his place. In the meantime Arizona should urge Presi. dent Roosevelt to name a home man for judge.

MIR. MELLMAN'S PROPHECY.

Walter Wellman, the noted news paper correspondent, has made many prophecies in the past which did not foreshadow coming events. His latest prophecy is that in 1908 Theodore Roosevelt will be nominated by the Democratic party, endorsed by the Republican party and elected without opposition. The prophecy was prob ably inspired by the friendly greeting extended to the President on the oc- casion of his recent visit to the south. While the whole of the Wellman prophecy cannot come true. it is quite likely that a part of it will Notwith- standing the unqualified statement of President Roosevelt that he will not be a candidate for another election,
 no one need be surprised to see him nominated by the Republicans in 1908.
 Changes which come with passing time often include the alteration of plans in government as well as indi-
 viduals. Ambition is known to be a
 predominating feature in the charac- ter of the President, and unless he accomplishes a great deal more dur
 ing thu next three years of his exec
 Utive term than he has during the
 last four he will find many things un-
 done which he has set out to accom-
 plish. Should a break occur between
 the President and the Republicans in
 the senate and the house, which seems
 very probable at the present time.
 then it would be just the Roosevelt
 way to defy his enemies and go to
 the people for endorsement. No Re- publican could defeat him for the nomination once he made up his mind
 to secure il for himself But there isI no possibility of the Democrats ever considering the nomination of Roose welt.
 Speaking of the Wellman prophecy. the Fort Worth Record has this toI say:
 The issues that are coming to tho front in the United States will have To be met, not by the hilarity and good fellowship which marks a popular re ception of the President. but by sober minded consideration and sound iudg nlent. Thinking men in every section are mindful of the presence of cOndi tons which portend grave danger tol fime-hOnOred American institutions and these conditions cannot be dis posed of in a hurrah spirit
 Just as wise men have foreseen the contest for supremacy between the cormorant and the commune can not be postponed much longer. The Tadicalism of the one has challenged the radicaIism of the other, and in the crisis which such a contest i'm poses Democracy must find it's high est duty and greatest opportunity"

TELLING THE TRUTH ABOUT ARIZONA,

Hon. B. A Fowler. who made a futile attempt to defeat Mark Smith for congress in this territory, is in Washington, and was recently inter. viewed by the Post in that city:
 When Horace Greeley said, Go west, young man." he should have been more specific, and indicated Ari zona, as no doubt the grand old editor would do if he were alive today" said B. A Fowler of Phoenix, and one of the leading citizens of that territory, at the Raleigh.
 DO you know that in few years of development we have reached sec ond place in copper production in the United States, and yet we have only a few real. genuine copper producing mines now, but others are being de veloped. as well as good gold proper ties. Tn a few years you will hear from our territory, and then our just claims for separate statehood will re ceive the consideration which is our just due, for you may set it down that joint statehood with New Mexico will never be consummated.
 This question of statehood for Ari zona is being nightly helped by the government itself in what 1t is doing ln building immense dams and reser Noirs at or near Yuma, on the Colo rado river, and Roosevelt, on the Salt river, about seventy miles northeast df Phoenix.

STEAM AND HoT AIR.

The Albuquerque Citizen prints with glee the following from the Tue, son Star:
 The number of the anti-statehood press of Arizona is growing beauti- fully less every day. The entire effort now is to prevent the consideration of the statehood question in congress, as they know what the result will be if the bill is brought up before that body. It is too late The statehood train has got on a full head of steam and it is running on fuH time and gaining every day in its rapidity of movement. The people have dropped the politi- clans and are doing their own think ing and demanding, and that is what will move congress to take up the question early in the session and set tie the same forever. There is little doubt but that the enabling act for the admission of the four remaining territories will be passel and approved by the President before the first day of January, 1906, the opposition of the politicians notwithstanding"
 We have not observed defection from the ranks of the anti-joint state hood press, nor has the rumble of the joint statehood train. under full head of steam, shaken the earth in this territory. Brother Hughes, la. boring under a too common error, has mistaken superheated air for steam, and he has confounded his continuous and labored tugging away at the jointure load with rapidity of move ment. One may move swiftly in a circle without gaining headway. The rumbling he has heard is in his own immediate locality.
 It is true that the people are doing their own thinking about joint state hood, and, paradoxica1ly, the more they think the less they think of it. Some of them are so unkind as to say that the editor of the Star and the bakers dozen who are associated with him in the jointure movement are incapable of thinking at all.-Republican.

HOME RULE.

The Globe Register, like the Inter natiOnal-American, is in favor of the offices in Arizona being filled by Ari, zonans who have identified them, selves with the territory before receiv. ing an official commission. Says the Register:
 The Register does not expect to raise any objections whatever to the new judge, whoever he may be when he comes. He will probably be a good competent man. and will de serve the respect of the people. But he will not be an Arizonan. and inter ested in the upbuilding of this great territorf and the development of its resources: but he will come as most of our officers appointed by the gov ernment do, to receive his reward for services rendered his party in its campaigns for power This is not right No man who has not, prior to his accession to office, identified him. self with the territory and who is not materially interested in seeing it go forward to the high position of state hood which it promises to reach, should step in ahead of those who have made their homes in the terri tory and who are familiar with it's true conditions. and hold official position. especially as a mere reward for party services. The Register stands for Ar izona and Arizona people, and when an office is to be filled it wants to see some one who has given the territory the honor and benefit of his citizen ship get the place, instead of one who comes merely to reap a reward for services in behalf of some political party Let Arizonans fill Arizona of fees"
