at all it should he against the
educated white man. And 1t may
be that some idea OF that kind
was in the mind Of tie Judge
when he imposed sentence on
Mr.. Walker.
The sentence in this case, by
the way-one year in the peni-
tertiary or the payment OF a fine
of $500.--has been criticised on
the ground of its severity. 1t is
very much heavier, it is true,
than is usually imposed in such
cases, and it is possible that later
on by good conduct Mr.. Walker
may merit a commutation, but
the interests of justice would
certainly not be promoted by any
action OF the kind now.
Usually the sentences Of blind
tigers are entirely too light. The
majority of them pay the com.
parativeIy small fine alternative
and then 90 right back 10 selling
liquor again. If they were made
10 suffer, and suffer severely, The
punishment might have a deter
rent effect, if it did not drive
them out of the contemplate
business altogether.

Tor this county. one jos ID. Wal
ker, white, was convicted OF sell.
ing liquor and was sentenced to
pay a fine of $500 or confine-
ment in the State penitenuary
at such labor as he was capable
OF performing for a period OF one
year.
| see it reported that a petition
has been filed in your office ask
ing for a pardon Tor Walker. As
president OF the Anti Liquor
league of this county | have been
requested by our executive com
mittee to give a brief history Of
the case and to protest against
The pardon OF Walker.
1t will be urged that he is an
old Confederate soldier. While
his is true, this man for the
past II or Is years has been a
carbuncle on our town. By rea-
son of his grossly immoral
character he is without an asso
ciate among white people. He
has been convicted in the United
States courts on the charge Of
selling whiskey and has for years
been engaged in the illicit sale
of whiskey in this community,
even on the Sabbath. There is
now on the contingent docket in
the court of general sessions
another Indictment against him
for selling whiskey.
After the organization of our
league last fall / went to him in
person and warned him of the
consequences unless he stopped
selling whiskey and so did 9TH
er members of the league. How
ever, he has deliberately defed
the law and the wishes of the
good people of the town and
county and does not deserve any
consideration at the hands of the
board Of pardons or of your ex
cellency.
His honor, Judge Klugh, was
thoroughly informed of the no.
toriously bad character Of Wal
ker and of the wish Of our peo
pie to get rid Of him and his cor
rupt influence and as a result
placed the fine at a figure which,
to some not acquainted with the
facts, might seem rather large.
Our Anti-Liquor league has
spent a good deal of time and
money in it's efforts TO enforce
the law against the sale of liquor
in this county and therefore we
hope that your ExceIlency will
refuse to pardon Walker.
Were he n negro we would
not care so much, but he is a
white man of intelligence, knows
better and is an old offender, not
only against liquor laws, but
against the laws of decency as
well.
Very respectfully,
John T. Green,

If Flagstaff, and Arizona in gen eral, would by persistent advertis- ing keep the advantages and won ders of the territory constantly be- fore the world, large per cent of the thousands of travellers which daily cross her borders, would pause to view, at least, if not per- manently to remain. The immense influx of people now pouring into California daily is mainly, if not entirely, due to judicious, persist ent advertising.

Saturday the Texas supreme court rendered decision sustaining the contentious of the states attorneys and enforcing the penalties against the defendant companies, which at the rate of $50 per day for each company since the date of institut- ing the suits, amount to S5,25o,- GOO. There is no doubt that the Texas antitrust law is a drastic measure, set like Uncle Remus famous coon trap Ito cotch 'em a-comin and a-gwyin', ," but should its validity be sustained, excessive rat, S, relating and other methods of discrimination will become thing of the past in that state.

This week we present to our req ders an interesting article on the Cliff Dwellings of the Walnut Can yon, written by the Rev. Father Vabre and first published in the January number of the Catholic Pioneer. Surrounded by the gla- mour of almost impenetrable mys- tery, these ruined cities are ever attracting more attention as more about them is becoming known and published. To the ethnologist
 the archeologist, the student prob ing constantly into the mystic past for further evidence thai may shed more light on the development of the human race, they are objects looked upon with feelings akin to veneration, to the sightseer and tourist they will prove a never failing source of interest, and it is safe to say that with each succeed ing year larger numbers will stop off to view them. From time to time, as opportunity offers, the SUN will publish articles concern ing these and other attractions in the vicinity of Flagstaff, equally strange and interesting, which go to sustain Arizona's right to a title by which it is already known to many, that of Wonderland" We are further indebted to the courtesy of the Catholic Pioneer for the use of the excellent half-tones with which the article is illustrated.

It is now up to the supreme court of the United States to say whether the Texas antitrust law is consti- tutional, and whether or not a state has the power to punish corpora tions which enter into agreements in restraint of trade or competition. In March, 1903, suits were entered by the state against practically all the express and railroad companies operating in it's borders for violat- ing the antitrust law, and on last

Tom Lawson's recent manifesto to the effect that he has a scientific friend in Scotland who can convert iron into copper at cost of only two cents per pound for the fin ished product, has caused neither the price of stocks nor that of the red metal itself to tumbe, and the men who operate smelters are building larger plants than ever before. Their ideas on metallurgy seem to differ somewhat from those advanced by the cratic Tom.

The Arizona Kicker.

There is no better illustration of the far-reaching influence of adver- tising than that given freely to the
 Arizona Kicker, a newspaper that never had an existence and whose advertising consisted entirely of humorous mention by the funny papers or the humorous columns of other papers. It was a sort of advertising, too, that Arizona has been trying to discourage for many years, hut 1t seems to survive all opposing influences. Monday there was received at the Phoenix post office postal card written by a man named G. Springer, from Der lin, Germany. He asks for pat tern copies" of the Arizona Kicker. As there is no such paper pub- lished, of course, his request could not be complied with, but it shows that even an entirely imaginative article may find demand, if it is only frequently enough mentioned in the columns of the newspapers.
