It is rumored that members of the board of control are of the opinion that the Arizona legislature made a mistake in fixing the location of the territorial prison at Florence on the south side of the Gila river. It is stated by at least one member of the board of control that there is no rock to be found on the south side of the Gila river at Florence. The represen- tatives of the people of Arizona have designated where the penitentiary shall be located and this relieves the board of control of any responsibili' ty in the matter It is known that the Gila river at Florence is practical, ly dry for nine months in the year and whether the rock qGarries are on the south or north side of the river makes but little difference. It is now up to the. board of control to get busy and move the penitentiary according to the act passed by the twenty-fourth legislature.

MANAGERS AND TRAINMEN SETTLE THEIR TROUBLES.

The happy ending of the controversy between the railroad managers and representatives of the railroad train men will be received with a sigh of relief throughout the country These is to be no strike and while it Is like ly that the trainmen have receded from some of their demands they will have the satisfaction of knowing that SC far as wages are concerned they have obtained substantial increase
 The spirit of conservatism which char acterized the action of the trainmen has won for them the respect of the people of the country who will regret that it was not possible for them to have all for which they originally asked in the mstter of higher wages and shorter hours. During the contro- versy the trainmen were represented by men who thoroughly recognized that the public was entitled to con sideration in estimating the results of
Bisbee daily review., 1907-04-06

a general strike which would have
 stopped trains on every western rail road and caused the stoppage of hun dreds of industries upon which many thousands were depending for employ ment and daily support. The railroad
 managers are also to be congratulated because of the utmost good will they maintained for their employees during the consideration of the questions, which. at one time, promised to tie up the railroad business of the west. From beginning to end of this contro- versy there was scarcely a harsh word : spoken. The conservative action of the trainmen's unions and their repre- sertatives in their recent demand for better wages and shorter hours should be taken account of by labor unions, such as the Industrial Workers of the World, which are quick to denounce the owners of employing enterprises whenever they show any disposition to question the demands made upon them. There is a great difference be- tween an organization of men who recognize that capital has rights as we'll as labor and organizations of men who acknowledge that they have no concern for the welfare of anyone ex. cept themselves anG declare that there is a war between capital and labor which must be fought to the death.

ROOSEVELT I THE DENVER.

Roosevelt has found it necessary to enter more denials publicly than any president of the United States who preceded him in that office. He will go down in history as having had more controversies over questions of per sonal veracity with prominent men than any other man who occupied the White House before him. A cores, pondent writing from New York on the day of the most recent explosion of the president says:
 Students of history and public af- fairs credit President Roosevelt with more controversies in matters involv- ing credibility than any man who has occupied the White House since the republic was created. The president has seldom hesitated to allege wilful misrepresentation of himself
 Tn the rate bill discussion last year there was a whirlwind of deniaIs fol- lowing almost his every statement.
 One of the most notable controver- sies was that in which the president charged former Senator William E. Chandler, of New Hampshire, with un- truth in upholding Senator TilIman in his statement that the president had engaged in deal to coax the demo- crats to cast their strength in favor of the present railroad bill as com promise measure when the republicans had failed to rally to his support
 Another well known instance was when the president charged former Ambassador and Mrs. BeIlamy Storer with bad faith and misrepresentation regarding efforts to have Archbishop Ireland of St. Paul gain the cardinal ate storers recall as ambassador to Italy was followed by an acrimonious discussion, and charges and counter charges between the storers and the president
 Henry NJ Whitney, candidate for 
 Iieutenant-governor of Massachusetts, aroused the presidents wrath when he went about on a canvass saying that his views were those expressed to aim by the president concerning tarib revision Roosevelt denounced Whit ney's statements as wilful distortion of the facts.
 Eugene N Foss. one of the best known among New England tariff re- formers, was also engaged in a discus sion following an interview with the president fin which the president charged him with misrepresentation in a statement he made as regarding

the presidents expressed attitude.
 Colonel William b Mann, editor of Town Topics. was also barred from be- lief by the president when he said that the president had sent his photo. graph and sketch of himself for the much-discussed Pads and Fancies, ? whose projected publication became involved in litigation.
 "M. Richard. correspondent of Le Petit Parisienne, interviewed the presi dent one day and cabled long state ment to his paper The next day the president denounced it as misrepre- senting.
 'The presidents denial of the truth of the statement made by Judge Alton B. Parker, then candidate for presi- dent, that the republican national com mittee collected funds from the trusts to apply to the election of the presi' dent with his approval, is well remem bered"

GENERALIZATION
 OF GOVERNMENT.

One Of the determined battles of those who contend for demoeracy, a government for the people and by the people. in the foundation of our government, was in opposition to the HanHtonian idea that the supreme Hpwer should be lodged in the White house ard that the government grant ted to the states should be subject to the national administration. Those wtse contended for the principle of seIf-pyernment and independent states won in the early formation of ase government and on the foundation laid has grown a government which has been the grandest known during the history of the world; govern ment which has guaranteed freedom and liberty of speech and action to all and which has been haven of refuge to the oppressed and crown-ridden of every nation.
 Since the formation of the govern ment, notwithstanding it's acknowl- edged supremacy to all others, there has been a continual effort to take from the people powers originally granted and concentrate them in the hands of few at the national capi- tai. All efforts in this direction have failed, but recently we find the great railroad interests of the country falling in with the suggestions of the presi- dent for centralization of all power for the control of the railroads in the federal government. The railroads fear thas the various states where they operate will, at the command of the. people, put an end to their op- pressive rates, both freight and pass enger. There should be no objections to the federal control of interstate railroad business. tha. is business passing from one state through other states 10 another, but the right should remain with the states to regulate and control local railroad business and tnat of all other public utility com paniee.
 On this subject we and the follow ing editorial in the Los Angeles Her aid:
 Railroad managers prefer to deal with one legislative body instead ot forty-five." This extract from state menf made last Monday by William ! BryaR contains square meal oi food for thought.
 The railway magnates fought ob- stinately against any legislative con troa whatever so long as there was a prospect of fighting successfully Wsen both the federal government and the state legislature began an at tack all along the line, however, the magnates quickly showed prefer ence for dealing with the government rather than the state authorities This because, as Mir. Bryan intimates they understand the relatively easy job of dealing with one opponent rsth CT than with forty-five-the number of state legislatures

BRIEF COMMENT

There are but few editors in our territory who have not made yigor- ous and continuous fight against the city mail5order house. This has been done in the interest of the home mer- chant, and without money and with out price. If the editors of the land had received regular advertising rates for all they have said against these enemies of the country mer- chant they could now be wearing diamonds. Now the department store man appreciates advertising space and is willing to take all the average country has for sale. and at good price What other class of business or professional men would Ioldsv business to help their friends, espec' ially as many of said friends never seem in the least disposed to return the compliment or even appreciate it?-Winslow Mail.
