KENT SHOWS DEEP FEELING

PHOENIX, Nov. 13.--Motions were made in the district court this morn ing for change of venue in the case of Hurley vs. Abbott and others, mo- tions being filed by both the Tempe and Mesa Canal companies. JudeS Kent denied the motion on the law s....n..e sdcn cases, out added that according to law he could call an other judge to sit in the case and would do so If 1t was shown to him that 6ny large number of parties to the suit did not believe he would try the case fairly and impartially.
 Judge Kent plainly showed in his language that the application had pierced his heart He said that he would not consider an affidavit by two men stating they believed him preJu- diced as sufficient evidence that all of the people under the two canals in question believed him so.
 T should be sorry" said Judge Kent. If counsel did not understand and realize the gravity of this charge"
 He said he had a high and lofty ambition to serve the people so that they would believe in their hearts. at least. their cases would be fairly and  impartially tried when brought before him. He said he supposed It was true that tha higher ones ideals and am bitions the greater the disappointment when a failure to achieve Is realized
 But when, as here, such an indict- nent comes from a whole community of people 1t is a terrible indictment against a judge" he said. While l might acquit myself of such prejudice In my own mind there would still re- main a grave question to be deter mined and that Is If there exists such wsdesn-ceS ,nc,irc Of d,s.-us. as $ evidenced by the filing of these ap- plications would 1t not be my duty to the people to give way to one who mipht win rhe confidence that 1 have failed to obtain-for unhappy indeed is the people whose confidence in the integrity and fairness of the man who is to judge them is lost"

the Russian people are opposed to di-

able sin To separate. A husband may
be worthless and even brutal. but his
wife considers it her duty to stay with
him. she seldom even informs on him

The daughters of the empire never
lose an opportunity to demonstrate their
ability. and the manner in which they
during the late war did much TO destroy
the prejudice against them. Owing TO
the scarcity of men they gave their
services as telegraph and telephone
workers, letter soTters and accountants.
A late statement showed that there
were 22,G00 female employees in the serv-
Ice Of the state railways. In addition
TO occupying all kinds of clerical posi-

According to an old custom the Rus

a sweetmeet or a tTinket, and into the
other a whip. After the ceremony the
wife removes one of the boots. If she

the tTinket il is considered an omen of
a happy life for her but if she selects

Russian women have experienced
great difficulties n forming their

clubs are forbidden. The government

Feeding Orange Trees.

The biggest and best oranges are not
grown on good soil. Fruit growers can
improve on nature when It comes to
feeding tree. If they want to get the
finest fruit they no longer pick out the
rich, alluvial soils. Very fertile land
produces citrus trees of rank growth.
which often bear enormous crops, but
the finest and highest priced fruit
grows on nearly sterile soil. This
strange state Of affairs is thus ex-
planned: In fertile soils plant food is
seldom properly balanced; neither is 1t
present in just the right condition for
producing the best fruit. For some rea-
son. too, it isn't possible to influence
fruit through the medium Of a rich,
fertile soil. 1t doesn't seem to be q
good medium for chemical fertilizers,
whereas a soil which 10 almost sterile
makes the right base upon which &C
build up ideal conditions. Trees may
be started in it and then fed with Just
such chemicals as will produce the
finest quality Of fruit.

MAY APPOINT
GAME WARDEN
IMPORTANT MEETING OF THE
BOARD OF COUNTY COMMITS
SHoNERS WILL BE HELD
TONIGHT.

The regular meeting Of the Board
Of County Commissioners Of Escam
bia county will be held tonight, and il
is understood a number of important
matters will come to the attention Of
that body. One matter which will
probably be disposed Of is the ques-
ton of game and fish warden for
the county, for which position there
are three applicants, Messrs. Gus Sol
erlind, Ike Denman and John Gates,
the latter of Ferry Pass. All of the
gentlemen have presented petitions
numerously signed to the board ask
ing that the office be created, and
other petitions presenting their re-
spective claims to the position.
1t is said that the laws of the state
in this regard have been almost en-
tirely disregarded in the past, and
that in order TO protect game and fish
the services of a warden are neces-
sary.
All Of the gentlemen named have
strong endorsements for the position
and will make a strong bid for the
place if it is created by the board.

The Election Of
Alternate Senators.

Alabama's celebrated grave yard
election proposition, which contem.
plates the election Of successors to
Alabama's present representatives in
the United States senate, has been
the subject OF no little controversy
and, Il seems, considerable misappre-
hension exists relative to the matter.
The following, from the Birmingham
Ledger, under the caption Alternate
Senators" will prove interesting in
this connection:
The Gadsden TimeS-News reiterates
that talk about the campaign for alter
nate senators being a waiting for dead
mems shoes before they die. That
cry was started by some good poll
ticisns as soon as the state committee
decided that the people OF the state
shall not only elect the senators, but
the successors TO the senators. The
committee simply insisted that the
voters shall have the right and duty Of
naming TO the governor the men they
want % succeed the venerable sena-
tors. There is a condition in front of
us, and not a sentiment, great as the
sentiment is in favor Of the present
senators. 1t is purely a necessary
political provision, and instead Of
leaving the probable selection Of the
next senators TO any governor, the
state committee required the voters of
the state 20 name the men for them
selves. No fair minded man could OBJ
feet to that
The men who are making the cam
paign for the senatorial succession are
as good men rs Alabama has ever pro-
duced. That cannot be disputed. They
are as good as any of US; they come
IRON all parts Of the state. They mere
