A MEMORABLE SESSION

With the stroke of midnight on Thursday night, last week. the twenty fourth Arizona legislature ended it's lahors. Without undue praise it may be said that this body has been the most useful and probably the most capa ble of the entire list of Arizona's law making assemblages. Measured both by what has been done and le:t un- done, the work is creditable. Some deeira ble measures failed of enact ment. but this was to be expected since the short session did not per init of that extended discussion which would have resulted in ad- justing points of difference.
 The twenty fourth legislature has to it's credit the anti-ga mbling law, the mine taxation law, a license . law. and a long list of minor en- actments. It went on record as opposing the fixing of railroad transportation rates by law. effected the removal of the penitentiary, and defeated the proposed repeal of the existing primary law. It's expenditure was but little more than that incurred by the proceed ing legislature.
 Beyond any doubt. the greatest single accomplishment of the legislature was the abolition of gambling. This measure passed both houses almost unauimouslv. The sentiment in favor of the cleaning up of ths territory has grown wonderfully within the past few years. Women will he excluded from saloons in the territory by a bill>which passed by decisive vote anda new liqnor license has been placed on the statute books.
 It would be great task to review here the many meritorious ! laws passed by the legislature, but it might be observed that most of them originated in that body and were urged by both democratic and republican members.
 Coconino county has been very ably represented. Messrs. Lockett in the council, and Williams in the assembly. have had occasion to make. their presence felt, and to their credit it may be said that they have had the courage to speak their convictions.
 This county done remarkably we'll in selecting these two sons of Coconino to represent her during lthe memorable session of the twenty fourth legislature. and they are highly hnnored and will receive deserved praise for their integrity and fidelity. During their attend- ance at the legislature they ever had the interests at heart of Ari- zona in general and Coconino in particular, and have rendered this county honest and faithful service. Messrs. Lockett and Williams. in behalf of Coconino. we thank you, we commend you, we congratulate | you.

NEW MEXICO STILL AT WORK

The New Mexico legislature is taking peculiar step. The speaker of the house of representa- tives of that territory, Mir. Baca, has introduced a bill providing for constitutional convention, to be composel of the delegates elected last fall on the joint stateh""o platform. The bill was carefully drawn hv the republican bosses of New Mexico-Bursum, Slower. Bol< calo, Romero, Catron, Sanches, White and Jose Gonzales-and has the support of the machine in both branches of the legislature. The bill complies wiih all the congress sional requirements and the time set for the convention is the first Tuesday in August. The session is limited to twenty six days, and an appropriation of 5000 is made to meet the expenses. The consti tutional delegates who are rich have agreed to make no charges for their. services and the poor dele gates will get $4 day for twenty six days.
 The sponsors of the movement say that very fine constitution can be drawn up within twenty six > days. As the constitution is very likely in the pocket of H. O. Bur sum at this good moment 1t is moi improbable that the work of mak ing the constitution will consume that length of time; but at the sa me time, it is all right (from a New Mexico standpoint) to give the boys a chance for a rake off.
 After this constitution is made il is the intention of the New Mexico gang 10 take it 10 congress in December and ask that New Mex leo be taken into the union. either as a single state or as a merged state with Arizona, and that the constitution be declared by the congressional act to be the consti- tion of the new state. It takes gall to do thing like this. and this gall can be found only in New Mexico. That congress will adopt a consti tuition drawn up this way is ex ceedingly doubtful. Not even if il contained all of the beauties of the Iliad and the wisdom of the sermon on the Mount. would it receive recognition. All the congress mel would know that 1t was gotten uI for political effect and not by the people, and even if New Mexico should be admitted the constitution would have to be made and adopted by the people after the enabling aci WIS passed by congress. That New Mexico would then make respect able constitution is problematical at least, it would not make on, that would suit Arizona. and al act that places the two territories together is going to get black ey' in this territory.
 But it is to be hoped that con gress will be fair in this matter Arizona has spoken out in nc uncertain tones on this question and the machinations of the repub lican machine in New Mexic, ought not to have weight with fair minded men in congress. All tha this territory wants Is to be le alone for a year or two. but 1t ha' no objections to New Mexico being admitted so long as 1t does no affett Arizona Phoenix Democrat

Kew. j. j. Haley being assisted by Rev.
James Small. noted evangelist.

on the subject 1.-THE Cost of Human
Freedom" He argued that freedom and
blessings come only by suffering, and
that liberty Is conformity to right
laws. Therefore harmony to civil and
spiritual law is freedom Sin he de-
clared is the essential bondage and
enslavement; there is no slaevery like
the slavery of sin. and it is not by
theology, but "humanology" that men
are best reached. When Christ makes
a man free, the man then offers his
life II, noblest service, being redeemed
