GREAT ROAST FOR
 FORMER GOVERNOR
Prosecuting Attorney Rhoton Gives Sensational Reasons for Not Want ing Mir. Davis to Assist
 in Doodle Trials.

From the Gazette.
 Denouncing the voluntary offer of his service in the prosecution of boodlers as play to the galleries and an insincere tender to turn the investigations into political gain. Prosecuting Att torney Rhoton refused the assist ance of former Governor Jeif Davis iu handling future poodle prosecutions. The offer of the forme. governors services came through communication from Attorney General Kirby. who in a letter to Mir. Rhotop suggested that Mir. Davis was willing to give his time and experience to the prosecuting attorney in the prosecutions of the alleged boodlers. The. communication which Mir. Rhoton sent Attorney General Kirby is as follows:
 Little Rock, Jan. 3l, 1907. "Hon, w. F. Kirby, Attorney
 General, City.
 "Dear Sir-In reply to your valued letter of the goth instant, I have to say that l shall be glad 10 have your personal and official cooperation in assisting in the investigation that is now going on touching on official corruption.
 II am, however, constrained to respectfully decline your kind tender of the servics of the Hon. Jeff Davis. Ido this because.
 First, the Hon. Jeff Davis is, as he knows, and as he knew when he volunteered his services, my personal enemy, though he poses at times as my friend; second, because he is, as he knows and as he knew when he volunteered his services, my polit- ical enemy, and he further knows and knows that 1 know, that he used his off -ial and personal in- fluence to defeat me with a Re- publican in the last general cleo ton, when I was the nominee of the Democratic party of this judicial circuit; third, because the the Hon. Jeff Davis iujects polit- ics into everything he touches, and politics can serve no useful purpose in the promotion of an investigation, whose only object should be to discover the truth and administer justice. The per- sistent effort to inject politics in- to this investigation from it's very inception to the present tune has done more ta impede and em- barrass the investigation than any other thing; and fourth, be- cause the Hon. Jeff Davis did in the very beginning of this inves- tigation insist and at tunes even demand that I, as prosecuting at torney, should give immunity to NJ. D. l.. Cook and T. l.. Cox if they would furnish testimony to indict one certain man. whether he should be convicted on not, and he asked me to assure them that if. in furnishing such testi- mony, they should so far incrim- mate themselves as to render con viction of them imperative, that he as governor, would pardon both of them before they could be incarcerated in the penitentiary. And he was insisting upon this grant of immunity to these two confessed boodlers at the very time he was going over this state telling the people that he would have Cook and Cox in the peni- tentiary in sixty days. To the objection that to follow the course suggested by him would mean l., turn the investigation into

Arizona Shelters to Enlarge.

Business at the smelter OF the Con-
solidated Smelling Co. has been grow
ing so of late that the company, it is
stated, purposes to increase its ca
pacity from the present figures 600
tons day to 1900 1t is exected to
accomplish this enlargement of ca
pacity within the next six months.
The compauy's stock has been placed
on the curb market within the last
ten days. The property it represents
consists of a smelter at Humboldt
Arizona, of modern construction and
located in the heart of the great cop
per producing belt between Ell Paso
Tex, and San Francisco. 1t has no
smelling competitor in that field.
With the blast furnace running only
80 days, it is stated that it has pro-
duced more than 81 $780, 900 in copper,
gold and silver values.

Shelter Planned for Twin Buttes.

There is strong likelihood that
the Twin Buttes people will build d
smelter near the mines. 1t has been
learned that the company has had
this matter under consideration for
long time but no definite action has
been taken thus far.
1t is very likely also that the Twin
Buttes will extend their railroad to
reach the Calumet & Arizona proper
ties in that district, as we'll as several
other properties in the district. The
entire district about Twin Buttes is
coming rapidly to the front and the
properties haye now reached sufficient
size to justify the extension of the
railroad to some of them.
All of the new machinery which
was recently purchased by the Twin
Buttes has been set up and is now
ready for operation. The new ma
chinery will greatly facilitate mining
operations and the development work
will 90 ahead much faster.
The ore shipments to the Ell Paso
smelter have been resumed. The
shipments will average six or seven
carloads OF ore per day which will
be nearly triple the ore shipments
from this property IN the past.
Thus far the Twin Buttes have
shipped 319 carloads of ore to the
smelter, which yielded 100000 pounds
of copper, II 900 ounces of silver, as
we'll as gold and iron values.
The new hosting machinery which
has been installed will hoist a car
of ore every four minutes. The ore
cars have capacity of one and one
half tons.-Review.

Penalty for Gambling.

There has been some inquiry
as to what would be the
penalty for a violation of the law
passed recently by the legislature
prohibiting gambling. The bill passed
simply repeals the law providing for
a license for certain forms of per-
centage games. The penalty for
carrying on any of these games with
out a license has been on the statutes
always and has not been changed.
The crime is d high misdemeanor and
is punishable by Indictment in the
district court; the penalty is fine of
not less than one hundred dollars nor
more than one thousand dollars. In
case the fine Is not paid the defend
ant will be confined in Jail not to ex-
coed six months.

Raid Hop Joint and Get Pipes.

A shack in the rear of Max Lam
tins clothing store in the center of
the business section of Globe was en-,
tered last week by Deputy Sheriffs
Duncan and Knighton and several
hundred dreams of bliss in the shape
of CONCEALED poppy juice, together
with pipes, bowls, lamps, cooking ap-
paratus and utensils used in prepar-
ing the dope for smoking were con-
fiscated.
The place was. well guarded, the
officers being compelled to go through
several doors to effect an entrance
into the smoking compartment"
and the Celestial in charge stood
them off long enough to allow the
devotees of the pipe who were en-
joying an evenings dream, to make
their gateway. One white man
could not make it in time and he
was gathered in for witness.
The Chinaman, who gave his name
in Justice Thomas court as Gin Hee,
was arrested by the officers. An in
ventory of the paraphernalia in the
sheriff's Office shows four pipes, ten
bowls, three partially used cans of
opium, three stoves and an array of
articles used in preparing the hop

upon the streets? Were you ever
asked for aims by beggar with a
Jewish face? Have you ever counted
the rare cases of Jews in hospitals,
in jails and work houses? Have you
counted the long record of beauty
and fidelity and virtue among the
Jewish women?
Or, do you, in cynical mood, fall
back upon the ancient mockery that
the Jew is tricky" Well, then,
does he monopolize this quality?
Were you ever feeced by a Metho-
dist class leader in a trade? Did you
ever come out of the little end of
the horn at the hands of a Baptist
horse trader? Did Presbyterian
speculator ever get the best of your
pocket book, or did an Episcopalian
broker ever unload upon you a worth
less mine stock? Did you ever find
lard in the butter brought in by a
New England Puritan? When you
answer these questions, you will
realize that this criticism of the Jew
is half nonsense and half falsehood
= mixed with prejudice.
The Georgian greets today the
representatives of this great and
historic race of people. In the name
of the many noble and honorable
citizens of this faith and creed in
our own business, social and charita-
BILE life, we bid them welcome to At
lanta.
We feel that the mission of the
Jew is yet one of uplift and of bet
terment to the world, and by all the
links of prophecy, we realize that
the Jew is here to stay and play his
mighty part to the last line of the
last chapter of the race. All the
persecution and powers of the world
have failed to suppress the Jew.
Every people on earth have tried it
and failed in the monstrous expert
ment. A score of Russian Cars
have confessed their inability to do
it. This people have outlived the
Tudors, and the Plantagenets, the
NhS VI oPoAh3 SAN
dynasties of France, Charlemagne,
Constantine, the Caesars, the Baby
lonian kings and the Egyptian
Pharaohs.
1t was Gods own race for 1000
years, and the awful persecution
which it has suffered for 1000 years
stamps it as race wonderful, endur-
ing, majestic, and bearing in its life
and history some mysterious and in
separable relation to the plans of
the Eternal.
This twentieth century extends a
welcome to the representatives of
the most ancient and illustrious race
in all the world.
There are some errors in the
above, such as crediting up with Carl
Schurz, who was a free thinker OF
Protestant origin, but the Georgian's
intentions were so good that it would
be ungracious to criticize.

A BIunder in Stocks.

A man whom, for the sake of a
name, we will call Bill Brown, came
home from Manila few months ago.
His home was in the city of earth
quake fame, San Francisco. At the
time he arrived he had $4,000 and a
wife. Without her knowledge he took
s., 900 of his savings and invested it in
stock at cents a share in Goldfield
proposition unknown. His wife called
him a monkey, a fool and an idiot in
one breath. A few days later this
stock doubled, and she said: 'Bill
you are not so much of an idiot as
thought, though l still believe you
don't know much. Later on the
stock went to fifty cents, and the
woman kissed her husband for the
first time in FIVE years. The stock
again took a tumble up to 81. 50 and
the wife then believed her husband
to be wiser man than Solomon; but
when it went to $40 and he sold it
making over 100000, she fell on his
breast and wept, and called him a
greater financier than J. Pierpont
Morgan. This is just what happened
in a stock transaction,Ia land the man
is now living in San Francisco. He
Numbered into the deal and made a
fortune; and strange as it may seem,
he hangs onto his money, and is call
ed a rich man. The saying, "come
quick, go quick was not the rule in
his case

LITERATUE IS UNSAFE
UNTIL IT GETS CLASSIC.
An Illustration of the Ease With Which
Its Degeneration May be Accom-
pIiShed in a Brief Period.

1t is the most difficult thing in the
world to preserve literature in its
original purity unil it has been en-
balmed and becomes classic. 1t is
passed around by word of mouth un-
til it loses, if not its identity, much
of its pristine beauty and strength.
1t suffers similarly in being ha nded
down by tradition.
Some months ago The Republican
printed 4 contributed poem whose
theme was the rampageousness of
the ella river. 1t was received with
loud and general acclaim notwith-
standing it was lacking certain de-
gree of religious fervor, and it came
to be widely quoted.
The Journal Miner of Prescott the
other day, admitting that it was des-
tined to become classic, printed a
version of it which differed materially
from the original. In fact in the
Journal Miners version it was shorn
of much beauty, the conception of
the author was changed, so that lit
tie but the theme was left intact.
The Journal Miners version and
the original are hereby reproduced
for the purpose of showing how these
evolutions in literature come about.
Journal Miner:
''Where are you going, my pretty
| maid?"
I'm going to Phoenix, sir,'' she SAID.
Like hell you are" they heard him
shout.
'The Maricopa bridge is again washed
OUT
AS will be shown, this is a perver-
sion of the original sentiment as
well as almost fatal arrangement of
the beautiful rhyme and rythm.
"Where are you going, my pretty
maid?"
'I'm going to Phoenix, kind sir" she
said.
1.-THE hell you are," said the man on
the train,
''For the ella bridge is again"
1t does not require one to be of
fine literary taste to detect the differ
ence between the two versions of
this classic and to distinguish the
cramped an irregular Journal Miner

original.-Repu
