cNDUE INFLUENCE BY ADMINISTRATION.

It seems that the present territorial administration is not willing to trust the judgment of the elected represen- tatives in the matter of making laws, but would assume the legislative duty in addition to the duty of executing the laws. Heretofore governors of Arizona have been content to inform the legislature at the beginning of its session with all information concern ing the conditions of the territorial government and then make sugges- ton as to desired changes in the Jaw or the addition of new laws as seemed proper and allow the elected represen- tatiyes of the people to proceed with their duties without any further at tempt to influence, them. It has not been the case with Governor Ribbey. When the present session of the t~enty-fourth legislature convened in Phoenix it received from him the longest message ever transmitted to a legislature by the executive. The greater part of this message was de voted to the question of mine taxa tion, but notwithstanding this he has since been continually at work, as sisted by his attorney general, in try ing to influence the members of the legislature in favor of his proposed policy of mine taxation, which would place the duty of assessing mines of the territory in the hands of terri torial board of equalization without any fixed basis for determining the value of mining property other than the arbitrary will of its members.
 In support of his contention in the mine tax matter, in addition to his lengthy message, on the subject, the governor was before the joint mining committees, having under considera- ton the Doran mine tax bill; finding that his views had not favorably i'm pressed the committee the governor called into his action his stenographer and prepared a special message to the legislature on the subject in which every detail of the mine taxation sub jeet was gone over and opposition to the Doran bill was strenuously urged. Following this message the governor caused to be introduced in the legis- Iature a bill prepared under his di- rection and embodying what he thought would be proper legislation on the subject of future taxation of mines
 The whole session of the legisla- tuTe has demonstrated that the terri forial administration desired that the people of Arizona should trust all to the men who have been named from Washington and nothing to the elect ed representatives of the people Governor Kibbey, in his message. nev- CT mentioned tn esubject of railroads, or the freights and fares charged in the territory, notwithstanding the fact that in almost every other state and in the national congress the ques. ton of how to relieve the people from the oppressive railroad charges. even to the suggestion of government own ership coming from the president, has been the prominent issue, Not only did Governor Kibbey fail to mention railroads in his message. but his at torney general went before the com mittee having under consideration proposed railroad legislation and dis couraged any action on that line. go ing no farther. however, than express

JAP EXCLUSION IS STILL
 ANNOYING ROOSEVELT
(Continued from First Page.

I T voters of California to settle this ques- tion, if assented to by the national gov ernment would immediately end all my negotiations with Japan for a friendly adjustment, because to nego- tiate settlement we must have the power to settle. while on the other hand California can not negotiate a treaty under the constitution.
 It is, however, perfectly clear that under the constitution only the nation al government can settle the question of exclusion, and such vote of Cali fornia as proposed would be treated as entirely nugatory, while it would prob ably be regarded by those opposed to exclusion as a threat to ignore the constitutional power of the United States and exclude Japanese in def ance of their treaty rights to come in.
 "T earnestly deprecate the passage of any legislation affecting Japanese. The national government now has the matter in hand and can in all human probability secure the results. that California desires, while at the same time preserving unbroken and friendly relations between the United States and Japan.
 I have the interest of California most deeply at heart. shall strive to accomplish for California, as for other states or sections of this country. everything that can conserve to it's honor and it's interest.
 Such action as that you mention would merely hamper the national ggv- ernment in its effort to secure for Cali fornia what only the national govern ment can secure. (Signed)

Mail Order House Indicted.

Sears, Roebuck & Co., the great
Chicago mail order house, must
stand trial in the federal court at Des
Moines, says the Leader of that city,
on charges of using the United States
m ails to defraud. An indictment
containing three counts was returned
against the firm by the federal grand
jury. The penalty upon conviction
will be fine of $500 on each count.
The indictment is based ON three
cases in which it is alleged the com
pany misrepresented articles listed
for sale in its catalogues, which were
sent out through the mails. Besides
the catalogues, it is claimed that the
concern used letters, circulars,
pamphlets, order blanks and letter
heads to deceive and defraud its
customers.
The first count charges that on June
18th the company devised a scheme
to obtain money by false pretenses
from DR.. C F. Spring, 231 Utica Build
ing, Des Moines. On that date a
letter was mailed to him in which the
following statements were made:
made in our own great paint factory
under the supervision of the finest
paint experts. They have given uni
versal satisfaction, and we are able to
place over them our most liberal
guarantee, which you are doubtless
familiar WITH
As matter Of fact, SO the indict-
d BIT sets out, Sears, Roebuck & Co.,
DID not manufacture paint in its own
factory. Its paint was not of the
highest grade and was not equal to
any ready mixed paint now on the
market, regardless of price, as adver-
tised in it's catalogue. Furthermore,
the paint did not contain white lead,
so the Indictment charges.
r. II. Miles, rural route No. l, Des
Moines, is the victim named in the
other two counts of the indictment
On May 25, Mr.. Miles ordered a ring
advertised in the Sears, Roebuck &
Co., catalogue to contain four pearls
and four sappbires. The ring that
he received did not contain either
pearls.orisapphires and was material
~ inferior in quality to the ones
described in the catalogue.
On May 8, Mr. Miles ordered
another ring advertised to contain
twelve pearls and two rubies. The
ring he received contained neither
pearls nor rubies. Both the cata
logues and the rings were sent
through the mails, making the al
legged misrepresentation a violation
of the federal statutes regarding the
use of the mails.

DR.. Wiley, chief of the U. S. board
of Chemistry, says:
1.-THE time is coming. and coming
soon, when we shall have pure foods
in every line. Already many of the
worst offenders have reformed, and
in the drug business every one of the
great manufacturers is doing his ut
most to comply with the law. Laws
are Of force only when public senti
ment is back of them, and public
sentiment is back of the pure food
laws.
81 look forward to the time when
we shall have New Orleans molasses
as it was 'befo' de wah,' and when
white -four shall be no longer used
for bread. Within the last year there
has been a revolution in the drug
trade and people are now reasonably
certain of getting physicians pre-
scriptions properly filled.

An epidemic of grip, that for viru-
lance and contagion has not been ex
ceeded since the great epidemic of
fifteen years ago, is raging in Boston,
and is making it's way down here.
Let us, In view of the prevalence of
this dreaded disease, renew the sug-
gestions we have made repeated for
several years, to keep calm and col
lected, not to get excited, to live sim
ply, avoiding rich food, keep the
head cool and the feet warm, to apply
simple but effective remedies on the
first appearance of the disease, and
thus escape its terrors. And in the
meantime don't sit in the house,
bumped up over hot stove, but take
plenty of outdoor exercise. Read
the Bible and the Republican news
papers, and attend church!
