COURAGEOUS WORDS

The accusation made by the admins tration leaders against Representative Murphy of the l6th district of Missouri, that he is bolter because he refused to do the Speakers bidding and vote for the Hamilton statehood bill. is stoutlv resented by that gentleman. Mir. Murphy is quoted as having said; "They have tried to make partisan question out of this statehood matter, but partisanship will not deter me from voting my sentiments and what l be- lieve to be the wishes of my district in matters that are clearly not political. So long as stay here shall be the keeper of my own vote and shall cast it for my district, but 1 shall never cast it in the interest of any boss, nor for the anvantage of any machine, nor can l be coerced into being misrepresent- ative. 1 may not be rcnominated, 1 may not be reelected, but so long as stay here l propose to oppose bossism, coercion and machine rule. !"

A. Clark Williamson, of Chicago, writ ing to the Inter-Ocean, takes such high ground in regard to the game of poker as to make it worthy the consideration of moral philosophers and sociologists. In the first place he says that poker playing is not gambling, but scientific pursuit, a revealer of character, a guide of conduct to the moralist and the man of business. If you think you know man do not feel sure of the fact until you have played poker with him, then his yellow streaks, if he has any, will begin to show through. MT. Williamson closes with this impassioned appeal for the game: "A man may deceive his wife, he may four-fush his brothers in the lodge, he may succeed in bluffing his way into leading place in business, politics or society, but he cannot sit in poker game for an hour before he is an open book to everybody around the table," If such is the ethical value of poker it should te taught to catecumens and find a wei come in every Sunday school.

'TwouId be a Political Crime

To blight the future of Arizona by forcing her against her will into union which would subject Ter to the political domination of such population, and such political methods as the present population of New Mexico inevitably produces. would be wrong so great that it is beyond the power of words to adequately denounce it. If Theo- dore Roosevelt, using for such pur- pose the overwhelming power of his position as president, should-as he seems determined to do, succeed in forcing Arizona into union of state hood with New Mexico, he will commit a spolitical wrong so great that the evil consequences of it will follow him to the end of. his days and be blot on his political career that time will never efface. -MaxwelPs Talisman.

close figuring for the bill. There are but ninety members of ::the senate, and forty-five is sufficient to carry any measure, as Senator Burton is out of the senate, as is Senator Ball from Delaware.
 The speculation as to the attitude of individual senators turns about the new senators, who include Messrs. Carter, Flint, Piles, Nixon and Sutherland. There is an impression that most, if not fall, of these men-except Piles are against the house bill. If this should prove to be true, the bill would be defeated.
 It is reasonably certain that Senator Carter of Montana is against the house bill, and that he will be a strong ele- ment in the fight which Beveridge will have for the measure.

HOW MARK SMITH
 PLAYED TAWNEy
He is likened to Joab Who Stabbed His Friend-A Dramatic and Force-
 fuI Arraiqnment

A special to the Bisbee Review says: When the gag rule which accompanied the Hamilton joint-statehood bill into the house was under consideration and was being discussed, Mark Smith cre- ated sensation by his reply to Taw- ney. He was thoroughly indignant and wrought up, and his utterances were dramatic in the extreme.
 "Mr. Speaker" said he, ''it seems somewhat tragic to me that the day of my birth should have been selected as the one day in the year for the sacrifice of the people in whose devoted service l have spent most of my life" Then advancing toward Tawney and pointing his finger at him, he thundered:
 "When 1 saw the chairman of the appropriations committee take the floor in favor of this rule, l was reminded of another and much more tragic scene: And Joab said to Amasa art thou in health, my brother?' And Joab took Amasa by the beard and with the right hand to kiss him, but Amasa took no heed of the sword that was in Joab's left hand So he smote him there within the fifth rib and shed out his bowels to the ground. In the guise of friendship he gives us the most savage, the cruelest cut of all.
 "Mr. Speaker, this is not party question. If it is, it is time for any party-mine or yours hand down it's scepter to other people. When the rights of people can be made the shuttlecock of party rule, and when the great, good heart of that republi- can majority today unhampered by your great power, unhampered by the presi- dent of the United States, would beat this bill four to one, yet men like the , gentleman from Ohio (Mr. Grosvenor) and other gentlemen arise and swing the party lash over the weak, but give no reason whatever for this outrageous proceeding except allegiance to party command. There was no caucus of the republicans on this question, the pre- tense of a caucus had was fraud on new members. Whenever the republi- can party, or mine, can make the rights of men subservient to the mere party lash, then that party deserves to be beaten and will be beaten"

A Washington special to the Globe Democrat states that it is reported on high authority that the president re- gently informed visitor at the White House that if no disposition of state hood were made at this session, he would call an extra session to take up special message in which he would demand statehood for Oklahoma and Indian Territory jointly, without any reference to Arizona and New Mexico. If that is the way the president feels about it, he could save all the trouble and expense of an extra session by con senting to the elimination of Arizona and New Mexico from the Hamilton bill.

Arizona fascinates and charms the dwellers in her atmosphere of sunshine and romance more than probably any othhr state in the union, and to blot her out by binding her as a political appendage to territory foreign ir every sense, ruthlessly violates the patriotic aspirations of her people to g degree that no one can appreciate who has not lived in the atmosphere of Ari- zona and known her people through and through. -MaxwelPs Talisman.

Arizona is at most critical point ir her development. The territory is as large as the whole Philippine archipel- ago. And if all Arizona's resources of forest and farm and mine were wisely developed to their fullest ex. tent, it would yield greater harvest of material wealth than We will ever reap in the Philippines, and at the same time add to our population a race of stalwart, resourceful and industrious citizens who are of vastly more i'm. portance in building our national struc. ture than all the wealth we will ever realize from our Asiatic possessions.

CLOSE FIGURING IN SENATE

It can be asserted with reasonable certainty that all of the thirty-three senators of the democratic faith with one exception will be against the state hood bill as it comes over from the house. The one exception is Senator Clark of Arkansas. There are at least nine republican senators who it is believed will oppose the bill. These include Messrs. Alger, Elkins, Foraker, Hansbrough, Gallinger, Hepburn, Me Cumber, Penrose and Perkins. These nine men united with the thirty-two democrats will bring the opposition vote to forty-one, which will make very

CURIOUS CONTROVERSY
ABOUT STOLEN WHEEL
A Question Raised as to the ResPon
sibility of the Finder to Repair IL at
His Own Expense.

Complications have grown out of the
theft of a bicycle, which viii possibly
have to be settled by law suit. The
other day a couple of boys bought of
Charles Gittner a couple of wheels and
tires for a bicycle. along with other
supplies, the purchase amounting TO
bout SO The next day they returned
with one of the wheels. saying that il
would not fit the machine and that
they wanted another. Mr.. Gittner told
them to bring the frame, so that he
could fit il. The frame was brought
around. and Mr. Gittner thinking it
might have been stolen. called up the
Phoenix Bicycle company the sellers Of
machines OF that model, and asked
them about it. One Of the members OF
the firm answered, and learning the
number of the frame. said it had been
stolen several weeks ago from Clyde s.
Evans, proprietor of the Phoenix oil
company.
Mr.. Evans was sent for and he came
and identified the machine. He took il
away with him, wheels and all. The
boys who had brought the frame said
they were sons OF a Mr.. Robinson who
lives near Five Points and said the
frame had been found several days ago

ground that at the time the wheel was

only proper that it should be in fair re-

of this territory to keep Mr.. Evans

seek to recover the supplies which he

REPUBLICAN CANDIDATES.
Who Spent Yesterday on the South
Side Making Votes.


Tempe enjoyed the presence Of a
number of candidates to one Office and
another on the republican ticket yes
terday j. G Reed of Wickenburg,
nominee for the assembly, was one of
the party. This is the first time dur
ing the campaign that Mr. Reed has
been able to be among the voters of

candidates were here in a body, he was
detained at his home on business mat
tors. Yesterday. however he made up
lost time and spent the greater part of
the dav forming acquaintances among
the voters here. He made an excellent
Impression and Will undoubtedly get

ROOSEVELT SIGHTS

Engineer Howard Reed Greatly En-
Unused by Two Weeks Stay in the
Reservoir Basin.

Engineer Howard Reed of the recla-
nation service, returned yesterday
with his wife and son from a two
weeks visit at Roosevelt. Mr.. Reed is
in charge of the stream measurements
in Arizona and his trip to Roosevelt
was mainly to place some new equip
ment and repairs at the stream gaug-
ing station there, break in a new man
who will have charge of it, measure
the stream flow in the Power canal,
and similar duties.
Incidentally, he had a fine time. as
did Mrs. Reed and the youngster. Mr..
Reed says he would rather watch op-
erations in the construction OF this big
dam, than to eat. He is greatly en-
Unused over such engineering projects
and says he would rather have the
honor of building one of the big dams
than to be president of the United
States. And that is no reflection on the
I president, either. Seriously, he says it
/ is utterly useless to talk about such
things away from the scene of opera
