GEORGE Z. S. PHILLIPS

Death has again invaded our
ranks, and removed one of our
number, our late comrade, George
+. s. Phillips.
He rendered gallant and efficient
service to the Confederate States
as a member of the battery first
commanded by Capt. Preston
Chew, (afterward Colonel of Artil-
lery), and served to the end of the
war, after which he made his home
IN Berryville, where he continued
to reside until his death.
He was a gallant soldier, an
exemplary citizen, and a faithful
and consistent Christian.
For several years he endured
with patience intense suffering
from the disease which terminated
IN his recent death, when we be-
lieve he entered into the eternal
rest prepared for the people of the
Heavenly Father for those who
love and serve Him.
Resolved that this Camp, and
each member thereof, hereby
tender to his stricken family the
most sincere and heartfelt sym
pathy in their atiliction.
Resolved further, that this me-
mortal be entered on the records Of
the Camp, of which he was a mem
ber, that copies thereof be sent to
the members of his family and that
the Editor of the CLARKE COURIER
be requested to publish the same
IN his paper.

Dear SIR Porterhouse, so much; neck,
so much; all the way down.
lust so with paint. Devoe lead and.
zinc is the porterhouse. Nobody wants
the neck; the between, some say, is good
enough for them.
But Devoe cots less, not more, than be-
tween. Lead-and- oil is between; it Is
the old-fashion paint. But zinc has
come in. Zinc toughens white lead
Devoe lead-and zinc is the paint that
wears twice as long as lead and-oil.
Mr. John n Deitel, Fair Haven, n Y,
writes;
"Mr Charles Hollenback, of this place,
painted his house three years ago with
Devoe lead and-zinc; his father painted
at the same time with lead-and-Oil. To
Gay the sons house looks as we'll as the
day it was painted, while the fathers
house has all ohalked off and needs
painting very badly. The father says
he will paint with Devoe next time"

One License Refused.

IElSI Nc00t VIZ RPRh~e@etfh'
Of John +. Lindsey and T. p.
Conner were granted by the Cir
emit Court. and licenses will be is
sued TO them for conducting retail
LIQUOR stores in the County for the
next year. Considerable opposi-
tion was made to the granting of
the licenses. but, as the applicants
had the signatures of majority of
the voters of their respective dis
tricts. the decision was not much
in doubt.
The application for license on
the East side Of Church Street by
w. A. Hartford & Co, which had
INST been heard when the COURIER
went to press, was completed, and
the arguments were heard ON Fri
day.
The opening argument was made
by A. Moore. Jr., for the applicant.
and he was followed by +. b.
Whiting and Robert NJ. Ward for
the contestants. Mr.. Moore then
replied, and the case was submitted.
Judge Harrison announced his
decision to refuse the application,
and took the opportunity to ex-
press some very terse opinions re-
garding conditions in Berryville.
The Judge said he was surprised
at the testimony which showed so
much disorder on the streets of the
town. He said it seemed to him
that the officials of the town should
employ the necessary additional
police TO preserve order.
The Judge further stated that
the preponderance of testimony
proved that the East side of the
street was not the proper place for
saloon, as the residents were
entitled to great consideration: and
stated that if the application had
been made for the West side of
South Church street he would have
refused it for the same reason.
In expressing such plain opin-
ions, the Judge struck a popular
note, and il is to be hoped that the
Town Council will take prompt
steps for the purpose of securing
another suitable and efficient officer.
The work of Mr.. Ricamorc, the
Town Sergeant, has been very
satisfactory, but another officer
should be appointed To assist him.
The hours of the extra officer
should be so arranged as to place
him on duty at night. AS Ser
geant Ricamore is always on duty
until late hour at night, the two
would be able to curb all of the
disorder, which principally occurs
between 6 o'clock p. m. and mid
night.
The argument in the case were
very spicy at times, and the attor-
neys struck out shar ply at any head
in sight.
The Courtroom was well filled
during the entire time, which last
ed from IL in the morning until
nearly in the afternoon, and
many bursts of laughter came
from the drubbing administered to
each other and the witnesses by
the attorneys.
Judge Harrison stated that he
was personally acquainted with
MIR. Hartford, the applicant, and
that he had known him for a long
time, and was sure that if any man
would conduct an orderly place it
would be the applicant, but that
as the testimony was overwhelm-
ingly against the application, it
would be refused. He further
stated that he would be glad to
hold a special term of the Court in
in order to consider an application
for any other place in the town.

TOM FITCH ON
 JOINT STATEHOOD.

Hon. Tom Fitch. the silver tongued, on August 3l gave to the Arizona Re publican at Phoenix the following statement of his views on joint state hood:
 q am told that report was pub nshel here that was coming to speak for joint statehood. THAT IS A MS TAKE I Cid at one time think that joint Statehood would be better for Arizopa than no statehood at all. (col. Fitch had another think coming) But ON FURTHER CONSIDERATION AND EXAMINATION CHANGED NY VIEWS. (Col Fitch is something |of . yfbrator) don't thihk either that Arizona Is coufronted by any such alternative She viii now, as N ap- pears. vote down joint statehood by about sixteen to one. She does not propose to be dragged to the altar by the nape of the neck and be made a Sabine bride by a Senor. Don Ignacio Sanches Pedro Bustamente who pro poses to join her $4o.0o0. 900 of copper exports to his s2.000. 900 of wool and play the part of Count Boni de Castel- lane to her Anna Gould. She respects New Mexico. She is willing to be a sister to hin-but a bride, nit It would be a wedding between solvency and bankruptcy, between progress and stagnation, between Saxon yirility and Latin languor. Tn my opinion, if the forty four delegates to the constitu- tional convention to be elected in No vember will ignore the Santa Fe con vention altogether, will meet in Phoe- l nix and adopt an up-to-date consti- tuition for Arizona alone, Arizona will be admitted under it either by the
 present congress or by the next one" Col. Fitch may not say all this at
 Mesa He will probably say that he
 did not know what he was about when
 he wrote the foregoing interview for
 a reporter for the Republican. He
 wil say, as he did recently in Phee.
 aix, that in the excitement of the mo ment he had been misled by the oppo
 nents of jointure. Yet he says in the
 interview that though he had at one
 time believed joint statehood would be
 the best for Arizona he had previous
 to July 31, 1906, changed hts mind Ion further examination and considera
 tion."

Bisbee daily review., 1906-11-03

It will be well to keep tab on the vote cast on the question of joint statehood next Tuesday throughout Arizona At each precinct there should be a man, or two of them, to keep a special tally on the statehood vote fol lowing a tally of the same ballot for congress. It is well known that the jointure vote in Arizona will be very small. but it ought to be made known just who casts these ballots to make Arizona a province of New Mexico and thus define free and intelligent cit izenship the right of self-government Each ballot in the territory should be taiIied specially on congress and joint statehood.
Bisbee daily review., 1906-11-03
THE OUTLOOK
 FOR coNGREso.

Three rock-ribbed republican states Oregon, Maine and vermont-have already elected their representatives to the sixtieth congress. Maine chose four, Oregon and Vermont two each. This leaves 27S members of the house to be chosen in forty-two states next Tuesday.
 If in these forty-two states the re- publican vote shrinks as much as it did in Oregon in June and in Vermont and Maine in September, the next house will be democratic by safe majority.
 The eight representatives already chosen are republicans, but by majori- ties so reduced as to show powerful reaction toward democracy. h Ore gon the normal republican majorities were cut to one-third or less, and there was a similar shrinkage in the two New England states. Both in Maine and Vermont the republican majorities for governor were the smallest in years.
 In order to overcome the present re- publican majority of 114 in the house the democrats mus. win fifty-seven districts now held by republicans, but they are likely to win many more. With energetic work the democrats are prac- tically certain to gain seven or eight districts in Missouri Several demo cratic districts will surely be reclaim ed in Illinois.
 In Iowa republican dissensions will break the solidity of their representa- tion in the present house, and dissatis- faction with the republican record in congress and with the state admins trationS promises to do the same in Kansas
 | In Ohio, Pennsylvania and New York it is admitted that the republi- cans will lose number Of districts this year which they carried two years lago. Not only are some of these dis tricts normally democratic, but the re- form movement in Pennsylvania and republican dissensions in Ohio are practically certain to give the demo crats some districts that are usually republican.
 The next house will differ from the ipresent one by lhe addition of five members from the rew state of Okla homa, raising the total membership
 to 391. These Oklahoma members Iwill be chosen before the sixtieth con. gress meets, a year hence, and there
 is good reason to hope that three or
 four of them will be democrats.
 Though no general election has ever
 been held in that part of the new
 state which is now Indian Territory
 there is hardly doubt that it would
 be largely democratic, even if the In
 dians should divide equally between
 the two parties, but their leaders and chiefs have with singular unanimity ldeclared for the democrats in the state
 building campaign. In Oklahoma prop
 CT the republican majorities are SC
 small that only moderate preponder
 ance in the eastern end will give the
 state to the democrats.
 In a political campaign so free iron, excitement as this has been it is no' leesy to pick the spots where the DO
