not guilty. The lawyers for the de-
Tense claimed that the man held here
on this charge was not Arthur Cox but
Jim Cox -
The two cases of the state against
Charles Henderson, colored, charging
him with uttering spurious checks,
have been dismissed. Henderson was
recently found guilty of uttering a
spurious check, which 1t is said he
passed on Levi Noah The other cases
concerned the passing of two other
checks, which is said to have been
done by Henderson.
With the dismissal of the two Hen.
derson cases the end of the criminal
docket for this term was reached and
the trial of cases on the second law
assignment began.
At 1915 o'clock this morning the

company at Haskins in Washington
county. 1t further states that a con-
struction train was switched in beside
it and that in that train were one or
two cars belonging to the construction
company made co-defendant.
Wallace states that owing to the
negligence of the agents of the latter
company one of these cars caught fire
and later the flames spread to the car
of the plaintiff destroying 1t. The
plaintiff alleges that the employees of
the railroad company could, had they
so desired, removed the burning car

because of this failure he claims negli-

$4,000 damages.

It is reported that D. W. Wicker sham, of Stafford. has been elected to the legislature from Graham coun- ty. "Wick" as he is familisrly krown to his many friends in Graham and Cochise county. is one of the pioneers of the territory. He taught the first school ever taught in the Gila valley and that was before the county of Graham had been created in 1881. For many years he lived at Tevis- ton in this county. He Is the senior member of the firm of Solomon & wfckersham. now doing business at Teyiston, Safford and Globe. In the whole territory of Arizona there is not a more reliable man and if q republican, had to be elected from the democratic stronghold everybody who knows D. W. Wickersham will agree that no better republican could have been chosen.

MINING INDUSTRY MUST
 1E RECOGNIZED OFFICIALLY.

At it's convention the other day in in which most of the states were represented. the mining congress asked for the creation of a national department of mining. with its head to be a member of the cabinet A bill embodying this request win be introduced in congress at the hegin- ming of the session in December It will probably not pass. In the three months to which the session is restrict cd by law there will be very little time for legislation outside of the pas sage of the regular money biffs Of the government and other routine meas ures. t
 But the mining interests are likely to persist in their demand for a cab met department until they reach sue cess. says the Globe-Democrat At the outset. however, they will be hamper. ed by the fact that two cabinet de- partments-that of agriculture. estab- lished in 1889. and that of commerce and labor. founded in 1903-have been created in recent times. The country will be rather averse to making an other addition to that body very soon. washington's cabinet had only four members, while Roosevelt's has nine. A good deal of administrative work was done by the executive branch of the government in Lincoln's days. yet there were only seven members in his cabinet.
 On the other hand, the country has nearly three times the inhabitants and has seven times the wealth that it had when Lincoln was first elected. It has more than twenty times the in- habitants and a hundred times the wealth that 1t had when Washington stepped into office. These considera- tions will count for something in aid of the mining interests demand. Min Ing is enc of the country's great ac- tivities. The aggregate production of minerals of all sorts in the country for the calendar year 1906 will be fully $1 500 ,o00. 900. as compared with $21S.. o0o, 900 for 1870. the first year in which this item entered into the statistics.
 The mineral production of the country
 is seven times as great today as 1t was
 a third of century ago. In this field
 the United States is ahead of all oth
 CTS and no comparison can be made
 between us and any of them. All these
 things will be urged in congress by
 the advocates of the creation of na
 tional department of mining. and they
 will impress the country.

ENFORCING TEMPERANCE RIGHT.

! tEMtGHANCE Hi0Ht.
 The question of enforcing temper aace in certain branches of human industry. especially in railrosding and in engineering work, Is becoming more important daily. In countries where railroads are under govern ment control there must be no indulg. ing in alcoholic stimulants during hours of duty. The sentiment in ia vor of such regulations is growing apace and has already taken strong hold in the United States. In Euro pean countries it is being extended
 to government employees in other branc' es and there can be no doubt that it is working remarkably well fer ,ke benefit of the service and the good of the people
 The Ell Paso Herald in a recent is- sue treats this very important and absorbing question correctly when it says that in Belgium, the use of in- toxieating liquor by employees of the national or municipal governments. during working hours. is prohibited. As result. drunkenness is rarely seen smong public servants, and nevc- among railway employees.
 Tn Germany, as well as in Belgium, tie use of liquor Is forbidden to rail- way employees during hours of ser vice. The director general of rail- ways issues the rules, which apply to all grades. For first offense, the delinquent is reprimanded and reduc- ed in grade The second offense means dismissal The prohibition ap- plies not merely to trainmen, but also to workers in the shops, where under the old free regime accidents were frequent.
 Several of the most important American railway systems have adopt cd similar plan. Drunkenness on duty means immediate dismissal, and so strict are the regulations on some roads that more than very moder- ate use of liquor. even off duty. re suits in discharge. Railroads cannot afford to have hard drinkers on their payrolls.
 Such movements as these, based on the strictest business considerations are doing much to spread temperance or even total abstinence among the people. No large employer wants men in responsible positions who allow alcohol to get the best of them. Such employees are weeded out when the chance offers. Sooner or later, ex- cessive indulgence in intoxicants will bring any man down.

There is only one way to tax the mines in any country, whether they be taxed high or low and that is on basis of their output. The next legislature should enact some law that will insure the equal taxation of all mining property in the territory This can be done only on the basis of a bullion tax. The people of the territory will await the message of Governor Kibbey with some interest to see what he has to say concern ing the taxation of mines. He no doubt has given the subject much thought The territory should have an equal bullion tax law so that all mining property having any value should pay according to their prodae- ion and to the end that mine that has no value should not be required to pay any tax.

We don't believe that any person in Douglas feels that there was any bal. lot stuffing or false counting at the city hall during the voting or the counting. The election board -aT made up of reputable men in this community. The only office which would be affected by a contest of the city hall precinct in this city would be that of justice of the peace. If there is to be a contest it will probably come from MT. Hardiker. the defeated can didate. or some other candidate having an interest in the result. If anyone tsirks that there has been any un- fairness on the election board by which they have been deprived of their rights or a square deal it is all right for them to seek redress in the courts, but this paper believes that if there had been no betting on the election we
 would have heard nothing about cleo ton contests in this city.

ALBUoUERQUE. N. M. Nov. g

ALBUQUERQUE, N. M, Nov g. From reports received from every county in New Mexico as yet scatter ing and incomplete, but still indicating the general situation, it is evident that joint statehood has carried in the ter ritory by a great majority. Thus far but one county has been reported with a majority against it. Rio Arriba is reported to have given q majority of 20 votes gainst jointure. As an offset to this is the 1,500 majority for joint statehood cast in Albuquerque alone, and not counting the rest of the county which will be for jcinturc. Santa Fe may go against it as may San Miguel county. but the mjoritieS expected from Socorro, Valencia and the south ern counties will give joint statehood a safe majority ia this territory of from 5000 to 1000 votes. It is evident from the early reports that the vote suffered seriously from lack Of inter est.
 The joint statehood question was hopelessly defeated in Arizona. Al though the reports are thus fa" but partial, it is evident that the friends oi joint statehood will not realize theiT hopes of twenty-five per cent of me vote as in several of the counties re ported, the vote is fifty to one againS' jcinture.

ANTi-GAM BLING LEGISLATION.

The legislature elected last Tuesday will have an opportunity to say whether or not gambling shall be pro hibited in the territory in the future. That a bill having for its purpose the rrok;bition of gambling in Arizona will be introduced there is no doubt. The only thing which would prevent it would be the passage of the Gt tlefieId bill by congress before the legislature meets.
 The legislature should pass such a bill promptly. The evil of wide open gambling in this territory should be abolished; it is conducted at cost of many thousands of dollars every month for which the gambler. gives in return nothing. Gambling is a leech that takes all and gives nothing It should have been abolished long ago
 Ia or s,2tchccd fight wfich wc ra;..-. rsn in .;ic future the yutiic licensing or gambling will hinder our just cause as it has in the past Ari zona mus. show to the world that il is able TO get rid of such conditions as results from the licensing of public gambling before 1t can be regarded as it should be b. the balance of the country
 Tucson and Douglas have already taken steps ia their municipal gov ernments to pnt public gambling out of business. Tucson did so more than n yea. 7ses ssl the people there are well ;,e@sed with the result and would rot entertain a proposition to return to the old conditions In Doug Jas gambling houses will go out of business on March next, according 10 an ordinance which has been agreed on by the city council

Tts retail merchants of E, Paso have concluded to see to it that the Sunday closing law in the Pass City Is duly enforced. They will not trust the authorities any longer but will pay watchers of their own and will prosecute the violators of the law in the courts. This is certainly the way to do it. The strict enforcement of the Sunday law is of benefit to the greatest portion of every community in this country, and while it may re- suit in apparent hardshIps to few, the greatest good to the greatest mum Der will govern.
