statement by Senator Blackburn.

A special from Versailles to the
Lexington Herald says Senator 10
G S. Blackburn authorizes the fol-
lowing statement:
''In view of the fact that many
misleading statements and inter
views are being attributed TO me,
and realizing / will have to con
tend with this same trouble in the
future, | want to make PLAIN and
unequivocal statement of my
sitIon in t h fl G h t
now in progress / believe that
the domination of the machiue now
assailing me means ruin to the
Democratic party. / believed this
year ago when they sent TO me
AID offered me their support in my
race for the Senate on condition
that / would let them alone. So
sure was i that the triumph of this
machine meant a turning over OF
the State to the Republicans that |
refused their offer and notified
them that / proposed to make war
on them until their power was
destroyed, no matter what the con-
sequences might be to my personal
fortunes.
Feeling as ! did, l would have
been traitor to my party to have
surrendered to what / knew to be
the most dangerous coalition that
was ever To- med to throttle free
expression of the will of the people.
In consequence of my refusal /
have today their bitter and malig-
nant opposition and would rather
ten thousand times go down in de-
feat in trying to save my State and
my party rather than win with
their help.
II want it distinctly and emphat-
really understood that from now
until all the nominations for the
Legislature are made, will be on
the stump doing all in my power
to awaken the people to their dan
ger. From that time on my best
endeavor shall be given to help
elect every Democratic nominee,
whether he is for or against me.
My Democracy is too we'll known
for any one to doubt my absolute,
loyalty to my party at all times
and l shall be found fighting it's
battles as long as there is breath
IN my body. whether it returns NE
to the Senate or not.
"My position briefly then is this:
Believing that the supremacy of
the machine means turning over
the State to the Republicans as
certainly as the sun rises in the
East, l shall fight it to the last
ditch. / want to 90 back to the
Senate, and l feel sure that l shall,
but if my seat depend on ceasing
to warn my people of their danger,
l would gladly sacrifice it. Every
Democratic nominee for the Lsgis
lature may feel sure of my earnest
and hearty support, no matter how
he stands in the Senatorial race,
and when my party has acted in
the matter OF selecting a State
ucket, / will be found standing by
her standard, no matter if it may
seem doomed to ignominious
defeat"

Millions Drink and DE-"

Richard w. Lyles, brilliant
lawyer, editor and poet. of Danville,
Virginia, blighted noble and dis
tinguished manhood by abject sla'
very to alcohol. The following
poem is one of the most eloquent
temperance lectures in the English
language:
have been to the funeral Of all my hopes,
And entombed them one by one,
Not word was said,
Not a tear was shed,
When the mouinful task was done.
Slowly and sadly turned me round
And sought my silent room,
And there alone
BY the cold hearthstone
And wooed the midnight gloom
And as the night winds deepening shade
Lowered above my brow,
wcp: Ger days,
When manhoods ways
Were brighter far than now.
The dying embegs on the hearth
Gave out their pickering light,
AS if 10 say
This is the way
Thy life shall close in night.
] wept aloud in anguish sore
Ger the blight OF prospect fair
While demons laughed,
And eager quafed
My tears like nectar rare.
Through hell's red halls an echo rang,
An echo loud and long,
As in the bowl
plunged my soul
In the might of madness strong.
And there within that sparkling glass
1 knew the cause to lie,
This all men own
From zone to zone,
Yet millions drink and die.

The Coconino sun., 1905-04-15

Don't snub boy because he wears shabby clothes. When Edison, the inventor of the telephone, first entered Boston, he wore pair of linen brooches in the depth of winter. Don't snub a boy because his house is plain and unpretending. Abraham Lincoln's s early home was in a log cabin. Don't snub boy because of the ignorance of his parents. Shakespeare, the worlds greatest poet, was the son of a man who was not able to write his own name. Don't snub boy because he chooses humble trade. The author of "Pilgram's Progress" was a tinker Don't snub boy of physical disa- bility. Milton was blind. Don't snub a boy because of dullness in his les sons. Hogarth, the celebrated painter and engraver, was stupid boy at his books. Don't snub anybody. Not only because he may some day outstrip you in the race of life, but because it is neither kind, nor right, nor christian like.

Prescott will entertain the next meet ing of the Roosevelt Rough Rider Association, which will be held in June, 1907, at which time the dedica- tion of the O'Neil Rough Rider mnnu- ment will take place, for the erection of which the Arizona legislature re- gently voted an appropriation of Sl0,- 900 Mayor Morris Goldwater and other representatives of Prescott, were in attendance at the reunion held at San Antonio, Texas, last week.
 The recent meeting was an enthusi. astic one, President Roosevelt and Col. Wood being greeted with an un- bounded welcome. Gov Joseph H. Kibbey was present to extend them an invitation to visit Arizona at the time of the unveiling of the O'Neil monu- ment.
 The association elected the follow ing officers: President, Sergeant Charles Hunter, of Oklahoma: vice. president, Lieut.. David Goodrich, of New York; secretary, Sergeant Ben Colbert, of Oklahoma.
 Honorary membership in the regi- mental association is limited to those who served with the regiment under fire in Cuba. To the roll today were added the names of Gen. Joe Wheeler and Gen. Sam Sumner, the regiments corps commanders, Gen. S. M. B. Young who was commander of the brigade in which the regiment was placed, and Gen. Cooper, retired, who issued the regiment it's arms.

Apropos of the possibility, or prob ability, of President Roosevelt's suc- ceeding himself, attention is called to the ovations which he recently received in the south. He has al- ready carried Missouri into the re- publican column. How many more Southern states may he not be able to swing when 1908 rolls round? Of one thing there can be no doubt. If, in the estimation of the republican lead CTS, Theodore Roosevelt can command more votes than any other candidate he will be nominated despite his wishes.
