to rout. Again on Thursday after
noon the attack upon Mr.. Lotus was
renewed, with the same result that the
purpose of the investigation became
more apparent and at the same time
more impossible. The committee
then adjourned until the following
afternoon when MIR Lotus appeared
only to see the committee seek safety
in another adjournment until March
7th.
! The two sessions of this committee
established nothing which could
possibly be urged as an excuse for
the existence of such legislative
auxiliary, and there would likewise
be no reason for this article were it
not for the fact that the Cabinet"
backed by the railroads and the
subsidized city dailies, is trying to
make something out of nothing. 1t
has developed into desperate fight
in which the corporations realize that
they must make some showing or
else be overwhelmed by the wave of
public sentiment which would certain
ly follow if the real issue is not kept
concealed
That is why they have enlisted the
aid of the city papers. Several OF
these subsidized sheets have published
reports which were decidedly mis-
leading and even untrue. These cor
poration organs were so offensive in
their reports of the meeting held last
Thursday that the following statement
was signed by Senators Sunberg and
eastman, Messrs. c. T. Hubbard,
]. s. Grass, Thomas Hughes and
others, these gentlemen being among
those who attended the hearing. The
statement explains itself:
STATEMENT BY SPECTATORS
"We, the undersigned persons who
we're present at the hearing of the s.
D. Peterson committee, which is in
vestigating into the affairs of the
Minnesota Shippers and Receivers
association held Thursday afternoon,
March 1, 1907, wish to protest against
the misleading reports Of said meet
ing published in the St. Paul Pioneer
Press and the Minneapolis Tribune.
These reports were not only "colored"
in a way manifestly unfair to the said
shippers association, but were untrue
in important particulars.
"We protest further against the
unfriendly attitude of the Investigate
ing committee toward Mr.. Lotus aud
the association of which he is COM
missioner, and assert our belief that
the said investigation is not being
carried on in good faith, but simply
as possible means of discrediting
and belittling the influence of said
association, this object of the investi-
cation being encouraged by the rail-
road interests.

THE REAL ISSUE
The Peterson Investigation into
Shippers Association Of Educa-
tionaI Consequence.
BY LYNN HAINES

One need only to watch the cabinet
to determine which legis lative events
are of commanding consequence
What the combine crowd demands
the people might always safely oppose
and, by the same rule, what the re-
representatives. of the special interests
seek to prevent, by fair means or foul
would usually advance the interests o.
the common citizenship of the whole
state.
The superhuman attempt of the
vested interests to discredit the Min.
nesota Shippers and Receivers associa.
ton and belittle the influence of that
organization is the most important
event Of the past week. 1t is import
ant because it reveals both the animus
and the issue in this attack by the
combine upon the only organized in
fuence in the state today.
1t will be remembered that Repre-
sentative S. d Peterson of New Ulm,
introduced a resolution in the House
calling for an investigation of the
shippers association, and that this
move was not opposed by the friends
of the organization. The committee
appointed to carry out the unfriendly
intentions of the enemies of reform
vas composed of Messrs. Peterson,
Lennon, Bills, Bouck and Hollister.
These gentlemen began their inquisi-
torial labors early in the week with a
hearing at the Metropolitan hotel
Two other sessions were called during
the week. The result of these meet
ings of the committee justifies our
statement that the investigation was
not entered into in good faith, and
it is not being conducted in fairness
or justice.
The genius and moving spirit of the
shippers association is Geo. S. Lotus,
its commissioner. As the executive
head of the association he has mani
tested very commendable activity
in state politics, always with view
to placing men in authority who
would honestly endeavor to better
commercial conditions. In this work
of reform the corporations, particular
ly the railroads, have seen their mono
polistic privileges menaced, and the
result is an almost unanimous COM
bine desire to see the Lotus influence
destroyed. Hence it is only natural
that the investigation" is not aimed
at the shippers association, but its
commissioner. The inquiry is not
an honest attempt to discover any,
thing wrong about the Minnesota
Shippers and Receivers association;
it is an attack on upon an individual
whose crime is less majesty, the cor
porations being the royal objects Of
Tended.
At the trst meeting of this Peterson
committee Mr.. Lotus was the only
witness. Although there was des-
perate endeavor to discover something
questionable, the committee was put

GAMBLING GOES

The council yesterday passed the gambling bill introduced by Coun. cilman Hunt of Globe, which repeals the statute licensing gambling, games This IS the first step toward the abolish ing of Arizona s crowning evil and that the bill will pass in the house, thereby completing the legislation, is foregone conclusion. Several members of the lower house are opposed to the passage of the bill, but their opposition will do no harm except to themselves. Arizona demands that the games go out of ex. istence in the territory, and go they will, April l, next.
 The prohibiting of gambling through, out the territory will prove to be one of the most beneficial pieces of legis, lation ever enacted by an Arizona lep. islatnre. There is not a class of lepiti mate business which will not be favor. ""'y dhected ana the subsequent effect on the morality of the territory as d whole can hardly be estimated.
 The plea of one Arizona paper recent ly that the gambling house is the poor man s club is a sociological theory bor- rowed from the east and made to fiji The local ease. It is a fallacy, one of the worst. Gambling never was re. creation to the man who works for wages, although he may have induleed m It, because recreation was not to he had' It IS a mania, which once con. traeted, the victim can only escape from by the use of more than ordinary will power.

WHY KINGSTON IS SINKING

The sinking of the shore line at King ston and of the bottom of the bay is an indication that the immediate cause of the earthquake was breaking down in the rocks underlying the ocean bed off the shore of Jamaica.
 Similar subsidenees following great earthquakes have been observed in many eases before. At the terrible Lisbon earthquake the quays along the harbor edge sank beneath the sea, car. rying with them many vessels that were moored there and drowning thousands of people, In one of the great Gala. brian earthquakes the ground over a vast area sank to such a degree that hundreds of small lakes and morasses were formed In the earthquakes around Madrid, and in the Mississippi valley in 1872, an immense exteut of territory sank many feet, and a temporary and local reversal of the current of the Mis- sissippi was produced by this sudden change of level.
 These sinkings are the result of what geologists call an ''inthrow; occurring in the rocks beneath the surfsee. The effect is to leave the superineumbent strata unsupported, and they sink down into the cavity beneath. The general cause of the inthrows and subsidenees IS the shrinkage of the nucleus of the globe, through cooling. As it shrinks 1t leaves the crust above supported mainly by its own rigidity, and then, wherever lines of weakness exist, like that running through the Caribbean sea, a breakdown is liable to occur.
 On the other hand, in certain ioeali- ties there appears to be a tendency of the earth 's crust to rise instead of sinking after an earthquake. This is notably the case oa the west coast of South America. Whenever there has has been great earthquake there the coast has been observed to be lifted, sometimes to the extent of many feet Since the Valparaiso earthquake of last August observations have shown rise of as much as twelve feet along some parts of the coast. But whether the result is a rising or sinking of the crust, the general cause issbelieved to be the same, namely, the shrinkage of the interior and the consequent buck. ling of the outer shell of the earth as it settles upon the shunken snucleus.
 The universality of earthquake phe nomena, affecting nearly all quarters of the world at present, indieates that critical period in the process of shrink! ing has been reached. How long it will last even the geologists and seismolo- gists cannot tell.-Examiner.

THE THINGS WANTED
 BY CONSTITUENTS

Members of the legislature are re ceiving curious promptings from theii constituents and from persons who are not constituents, says the Republican Councilman O'Neill has letter from q man in Yuma county who wants some thing done for the proteGtion of the Gila monster. He wants Legislation which will prevent the further killing pr incarceration of this reptile and he warns the councilman that pnless some thing is done to head off 1.-the eastern demand for the monster as curio, one of the most interesting feenpres of the Arizona landscape will shortly disap- pear forever. He says there are too many extinct animals and birds already
 Another man wants bounty on the road rnnner, which he writes is a much more destructive bird than the coyote is an animal. Still another man of Gila county who is iH the goat business, writes Mr. O'Neill that he read in the Republican some time ago an interview in which Mir. O'Neill said that he would introduce into the legislature bill making it misdemeanor for butchers to sell goat meat for mutton. The goat man writes to inquire if MT. O'NeiIl is closely identified with the sheep in. dustry; if so, he is not a fit man to sit in a lawmaking body. The writer says that goat meat is better than mutton and if people on account of prejudice will not eat it, the butchers are justified in getting it into their stomachs by harmless misrepresentations. It is for their own good, anyhow.
 Another man who says he is pros. pector, writes in protest against a bill which he says, is to be introduced tax. ing the road houses out of existence. He reminds the legislature that every time prospector wants drink he can. not afford to go to the county seat for it.
 Superintendent R. L.. Long has receiv. ed numerous suggestions regarding edu- eational legislation.

CTS desk shall be at the south end of the house and the blackboard on the north wall. The desks shall be set fac ing the north, so that the sun shall not shine in the eyes of the pupils.
 Another man asks that the entire school business be put into the hands or the territory. The building of school. houses, the equipment of them. the sal. aries of teachers shall be paid directly out of the territorial treasury.
