THE COURT HAS SPOKEN THE PROMISE IS UNFULFILLED
 THE EPEOPLE ARE WAITING

you said to the Citizens: "The Judge of this district knew the facts in the case. Would you not rather take his unprejudiced judgment than that of a man whose sole pur pose was to defame my character?' The Citizens agree with you that the Judge knew the facts; the Citizens would and do take his "unprejudiced judgment" than that of any other man. All they now ask and demand is that YOU agree with them that the Judge knew the facts, and that YOU also take his "unprejudiced judgment" and show that YOU respect it by paying over the fees which that "unprejudiced judgment" held do not belong to you. Your answer they await not in words. but in a RECEIPT FROM THE COUNTY TREAS URER FOR THE FULL AMOUNT
 and you must produce it BE- FORE THE 9TH DAY OF NOVEMBER, or be prepared for another "UNPREJU JUDGED JUDGMENT"

The Way of the Transgressor is Hard.

John Smith. a booze fighter. who wandered aimlessly around town during the first part os the week, taking in the sights of a great city, was arrested last Tues day morning by Constabl Charles Adams, for theft. The culprit entered the store of H c. Sanders, and taking bird'seye view of the goods therein, walked out. The proprietor of the emporium. who was busy in the rear of the shop, thought the mans actions looked suspicious, and walking quickly 10 the street door, he espied a pair of pants under his arm. Overlaking the thief. Mir. Sanders forcibly transferred the article to it's right ful owner and had him incarcerated in the city laboose. At the time he committed this act, the prisoner was under the influence of booze and probably thought he was monach of all he surveyed He was tried before Judge Crawford on Tuesday and sentenced to sixty days in the county jail at Flagstaff, where he was transported that evening"

HORIZONS HAVE ORDERS
BASS STATION, Nov. 1, '06.
Editor Williams News:

BASS STATION, NOV. l, OO. Editor Williams News:
 As this is the last issue of your valued paper before election it may not be out of place right here to call the attention of your readers to a few facts that may have much to do with our political future, in case the administration scheme to join us on to New Mexico should suc- ceed.
 Utah sends two senators to Wash ington, who act in harmony with the administration, and they are elected through the power of the Mormon church. It is generally understood that if Smoot had been turned out and Gentle put in his place the state of Utah would be lost to the republican party and two democrats would eventually be added to the minority in that body. This would virtually mean a gain of four votes to the democrats.
 It may not be generally known that the church has given it's mem bers throughout Arizona and New Mexico to understand that in or der to strengthen their hold on the ad administration 1t is advisable to support joint statehood at the com ing election-at least 1t would seem reasonable to suppose this to be the case. It is matter of record that in the Smoot investigation the fact developed th,t the Church of Lat ter Dav Saints came first, and its commands and precepts were more binding upon its followers than Were those of the Constitution of the United States.
 Now, in the event of jointure, would not the balance of power be- tween the two political parties be largely in the hands of the Mormon apostles at Salt Lake? :.

Attorney General Clark, the Sa1a- ried Officer of the People, Who Drew the Dollar Compromise, Hired to Help the Gang.

Attorney General Clark has been brought up from Prescott to make speeches for the ticket. This inn ported orator is the man who, as the superior officer of the District Attorney, should have aided him in the suit against Hibben for the fees Before his appointment as Attorney General, he was one of the attorneys for the Recorder in that case. His appointment, out of d decent regard for the ethics of the occasion, necessitated his withdraw al as attorney for the defendant, but 1t seems not to have lessened his ardor for his former client, and that client, in the recent misde- meanor case, admitted on the wit ness stand that Clark, Attorney GeLeral of the Territory, who is paid salary out of the public moneys, to defend the rights of the people, DREW THE DOLLAR COMPROMISE, thereby aiding and abetting this gross abuse of the claims of the people of this county, whose interests he had sworn to uphold Two months later, he was paid $125 for drawing a petition to Congress for the Board-a service which the District Attorney would willingly have done and for which he is paid salary-but Clark had to be compensated for his Compro- mise Measure. It was another Missouri Compromise" for Clark had to be shown"-the cash Can, not any man, with an ounce of brains. see through this mans du- plicity? The only answer We will get to this is: Flynn and Ashurst are soreheads. If they don't stop this abuse the whole Democratic ticket will be defeated. We were going to allow a few of them in. but we can't permit it now" Will the Voters who have been duped by this Rotten Gang say that this answer is sufficient?
 Hibben feels free to tell that the Public Examiner told him, unoffi cially, that no county in Arizona had the records in as good shape as Coconino county. The Public Examiners Reports are the best evidence of his opinions on local conditions Let Hibben be at least equally as liberal in giving the people the OFFICIAL REPORT of the same Public Examiner, sent Hibben by Governor Kibbey in September, 1905, in which the Pub- lie Examiner (not Flynn and Ash urst, mind you) confirms the exist ence of an organized ring, com

It is certainly doubtful ques- ton as to how the common people take the fact that Mir. Hibben is recommended to them by two cor porations. the Saginaw x Manistee Lumber Co.,. and the Santa Fe rail- road company's land office. They certainly had an axe to grind, es pecially the former, when the ranch at Leroux Springs was deeded to Mir. Hibben by them.

The Williams Shotgun Club Shoot
Chairman.

The shoot last Sunday was the first of the series for the Silver Cup presented to the club by the Du- pont Powder Company, and Dr. Melick leads Jim Hudson by a small majority, but Jim, together with others, will no doubt give the doctor hard run before the first of the year. It should also be stated that on every duck hunt which Sam Miller has enjoyed. that he has claimed some other hunter claimed all the game. Last Sun days shoot was the first oppor tunity we have had of learning Sam's actual skill, and the score speaks for itself. If the cup should be won by the champion claimer Sam should be presented with it at once.
 The score follows, the latter score being for practice, and the first the official cup score:

BILE COURT SAYS I OWE COCONINO COUNTY ANY MON IFS, I AM READY TO PAY IT" These are, verbatim, Hibben's words in his letter in the WILLIAMS NEWS of January 14, 1905. They contain a promise, assumed at the time by all who read them to be sacred and binding, that he would abide by the Courts decision, and pay over the fees if the Court held 1t to be his duty to do so.
 DID THE COURT so HOLD? Not in the suit for $5.9725O WHY NOT? Because Cameron and Poison, on the day the Court was to render it's decision, CON- PROMISED THE ACTION FOR ONE DOLLAR, and the Court acknowledged itself powerless to proceed in the face of this action At the last term, Hibben was in dicted for failing to account, in his monthly statements, for the fees. Though the judgment was for the defendant on the criminal charge. we submit from the record these words of the Court, as to where the fees belong:
 ''It just happens that during the last year this matter of the reten tion of these fees came before this Court in another county at nisi prius. The matter was argued at great length, ably presented, and the Court reached conclusion. have a vivid recollection of my views at the time the argument in that case was presented and I am still of the same view I then had. THAT ALL THE FEES FOR SERVICES RENDERED BY A RECORDER IN THE MATTER OF ABSTRACTS OF TITLE AS PROVIDED BY PARAGRAPH 2596 OF THE REVISED STAT UTES MUST BE ACCOUNTED FOR BY HIM AND PAID OVER TO THE COUNTY TREASUR ER;" also these words: Does the evidence of this case show beyond a reasOna ble doubt that there was bad faith on the part of the Re corder in this case in failing to in clude in his itemized statements, which he filed. a record of these particular fees? I THINK IT WAS HIS DUTY TO DO IT. THINK TT WAS HIS DUTY TO PAY OVER TO THE COUNTY THE AMOUNT OF THE FEES"
 Is further showing than these words. of the Court necessary? What stronger proof do the gen. tlemen ask for? Do you respecta ble candidates who are running on the same ticket with the Recorder and Supervisor ask for a better? Do these words. Mir. "A Voter" ascend your stairs and penetrate the dark attic in which you still hide, and do they completely answer your false assertion that "the statement that he took the fees that did not rightfully belong to him they failed to prove in c"urt"? Do they not satisfy the minds of every unbiased citizen that our contention in the civil case was correct, and that, were it not for the Dollar Compromise. these thousands of dollars would now be paying County expenses instead of being used to perpetuate "the Gang'' in office?
 Now, MT. Recorder, you promised to pay Lack the money if the Court said you owed it. The Court in unequivocal terms has stated its views that the fees must be ac counted for by him and paid over to the County Treasurer" The people respect and they insist that YOU respect the judgment of this Court.

Lost-One Republican Platform


 The Republicans ask the peo pie to support their candidates on their respective records as men."- From the Sun, Oct. 27.
 "Wouldn't that rattle your slats?" What Republicans ask that, except Funston? And what do you mean by their records as men?" Is that something distinct from their official records? Have they one set for campaign purposes. the other for use between times? Don't they stand on their platform. said by the Sun to have been adopted by the Convention? If so, where is it? Why don't you pub fish it, Mir. Sun? The Democratic Platform has been published every week since its adoption. It de- nounces the grating officials of this county. The people are thoroughly acquainted with it. It was adopted by the vote of every delegate, and every candidate stands sqnarely upon it Do you seriously ask for the blind indorsement of your can didates when they, and you are asha med to publish the principles adopted by your convention? Isn't the suppression of that document an admission that its publicity would create a revulsion of feeling among the citizens who would com pare it with the official records of the men who are keeping it back? These may be mean things" as you say. Mir. Sun, but this is no pink tea" and "bon-bon" recep- tion. The voters, to whom we are submitting the case. want an ex plantation and they are getting i'm patient at your silence.
 Hibben says: "There has never been a transaction of the present Board of Supervisors, WHO EV ERYBODY KNOWS is Cameron and Poison, but what has been published" EVERYBODY knows no such thirg. EVERYBODY KNOWS that A. T. Cornish, though the minority mem Der. in spite of the gag rule" applied to him, has voiced his opinion and his vote against the various steals emanat- ing from that office. EVERY BODY knows that Cameron has one vote, and that Poison hands over his to the combined judgment of Cameron and Hibben, so that the latter is not only Recorder and Clerk, but an "active member" of the Board-particularly active about the time of the Compromise And as to "every transaction being published," let him give us the Book and Page and the publication of the gift" of the District At torney's library, which the County paid for, to Doe. And point to us the publication of Henderson's first claim for double mileage (which is now in litigation in the Supreme Court). Henderson was not ashamed to have it published or to have the Courts pass on it. Come now, Hibben, make good" or confess your interpretations

CHINESE CUT THEIR CUES.

SurgeOn-in-Chief Of Imperial Navy
Has Made the Declaration
From San Francisco Chronicle.
The greatest change that has ever
happened in the customs IF a people
is now going On 81 China The an
cient and honorable pigtail is being
cut from the heads Of government Off
Gals, high and low. The merchants
and professional men are cutting it Of
likewise, and even the Son OF Heaven
himself has paid a visit to the barber
and is now bereft of the sublime ap
pendage which his subjects were wont
to venerate-
The authority for these statements
is Captain HO Kan Yuen, surgeon IN
chief Of the imperial Chinese navy,
who is at the head Of a party Of
Chinese officials at the St. Francis no.
tel. Among the members Of the party
are DR.. S. W. TsChen, who ranks as
captain in the Chinese army, and two
students, Chen Shea Ying and Yeh
FOng Teh, who are to enter the Unit
ed States naval academy at AnnapO-
Ms
DR.. Ho Kan Yuen and DR.. S. w
Tschen are the official representatives
appointed by the Chinese government
to attend the conference Of military
and naval surgeons which will be held
at Buffalo next month. An effort is
20 be made at this conference, which
viii be attended by military and naval
surgeons from all parts Of the world,
to form an international association
and arrange for regular conventions,
at which the progress and the prob
lens OF the profession may be con-
sidered.
Speaking Of the present conditions
in China, DR.. HO Kan Yuen said:
AT present the whole Chinese PEG
pie are undergoing what perhaps is
to be the greatest social and political
reform in history. All the better class
Is OF Chinese are determined on the
accomplishment Of these reforms.
Schools have been established all over
the country, and, while IL may take a.
generation to educate the people to
that point when they will see the folly
Of the old superstitions that have
ruled the masses in China for thou
sands Of years, we are determined to
do il. One Of the most significant
features Of the present movement is
the cutting on Of pigtails, which have
aways been worn in our country. Of
fCials Of the government have taken
the initiative in this movement The
merchants and business men are fol-
lowing the example and within a few
years I expect that the masses Of the
people, the Chinese farmers and
coolies, will cut their pigtails on too.
in the army and navy many re-
forms have already been inaugurated-
We already have 10000 men in our
army who have been thoroughly drill
ed in modern tactics under the new
army regulations
