those which have carried on gambling,
and notified them that he would re-

the purpose of detecting and suppress

When seen by reporter for The

understanding that he employ the pow

Of the laws, and that ne expected the

ARIZONA AND Irs LIBERTIES.

Some OF the people Of Arizona have
a strange conception OF what 1t is
10 deprive n country OF its liberties
We have never heard a German do
no,mce the annexation OF Alsace and
Lorraine as an Infamous plan to de-
priye the Germans Of their liberty
and vet the proposition to annex New
Mexico to Arizona is denounced as
such by some of the people OF the last
named territory.
The proposed union Of New Mexico
and Arizona would be practically the
annexation Of the former 10 the latter,
Tor while New Mexico would pass out
of existence and It's name would DIS
appear. the name OF Arizona would
he extended over the whole area ot
the proposed state. The present Arl'
IONA would lose nothing, and Its name
would be extended far enough east
ward To cover the whole OF New Mex
leo. How the proposition to do this
can be construed as "an Infamous
plan to deprive Arizonians of tneir
liberty" is more than the most deter
mined opponent Of joint statehood can
explain.
A large percentage Of the popula-
lion of Arizona Is American-or. at
least n-Mexican-in blood, whereas
about half the people Of New Mexico
are of Mexican lineage On this ac-
count some Arizonlans profess to fear
that non-American interests and in
fiuences would dominate In the pro
posed state. The lack OF ground for
this fear is demonstrated by the fact
that. united. the distinctly American
population of Arizona and New Mex
leo would far outnumber the Mexican
In both territories.
1t is not fear that Arizona's liberty
will be destroyed by union with New
Mexico. but desire to preserve exclus-
lively for themselves all the federal
Offices and all the federal patronage
Of single state which makes the peo
pie of Arizona. or rather some of
them, oppose the proposed union
Were they able to conline the distribu-
tion of federal Offices and federal pat
ronage within the limits of the Ari-
zona of today all the people of that
territory would recognize in the pro
posed union the annexation. as mat
ter of fact, of New Mexico to Arizona.
There would be no opposition then to
union. but on every hand rejoicing at
the prospective glory of the larger and
greater state.-Denver Republican.

TOWN CLOCK is RUNNING.

Through the agency of The Herald
and the kindenss of F. S. Balster the
town clock is running again and the
people are happy. For two days sew
eral thousand men. women and chill
dren have been lost Next to miss
ing The Evening Herald they miss
the town clock.
AS stated in yesterdays paper, The
Herald's telephone line was kept busy
was not running. This morning one
of the commissioners was interview
ed and he gave his version. Then
The Herald representative called on
F. S Balster who mad the contract
for winding and keeping the clock in
order last year. He said;
My contract expired the first OF
the year. and when Mayor Mcconnell
issued the order that he would not
sign any more warrants for members
of the council for payment of bills
wherein aldermen were interested. II
cut me of. called on the mayor, and
he said he had no idea that IT would
AFFECT my caring for tile clock but sup
posed technically II would. said
did not blame him for the order.
thereupon called upon the county
commissioners and asked them If they
would not pay the bill and collect from
the city, the city and county each pay
ing half for attending to the work.
The commissioners said looking after
the clock was in the hands of the
city and it was a matter for the city
to look after. ! then asked Mr.. Zell.
er If he would do the work and he
said he would nor--at least for the
price, only $50 pcr year. about 90
cents each week. or for a weekly trip
to the court house and spending ten
minutes winding besides keeping the
clock in order. There was nothing
for me to do hnt throw up the job"
In the above no one can blame Mr..
Balster. He could not continue the
work and he turned down when it
came TO payment.
The Herald. however. was not sat
isfied to have the clock idle for a
week while the matter Is being
Strengthened out, as the council will
not meet until Tuesday; therefore
asked MIR. Balster If he would not
wind the clock and set 1t going for
another week and let The Herald pay
the bill. offering there and then to set
tie. Mr. Balster said he would do so,
but not for Day-he would do It for
the thousands of people who scan the
clock daily.
Therefore. you have Mr.. Balster to
thank, The Herald's part in the prem
ises being small. In the meantime
let the city get a move on.
