Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1893-1920, 1908-06-20

" HOSE who feel the burden i'm
posed by the various CONNER
cial disabilities that seem to
be a feature of what is known
as presidential year" may console
themselves that there are others"
They may even congratulate them
selves that in this model republic the
change of administration is accom-
plished without actual revolution, the
we'll established method of the Latin
American governments to the south of
u.s.
When the men who fashioned this
republic made George Washington its
president, they were patterning after
no existing form of government on the
face of the globe. They had only the
magnificent experiments of the Greeks
and Romans to guide them, splendid
failures that they were, and the more
or less encouraging limitations furnish
ed by the Venetians and the other south
European republic makers. 1t was a
brave putting into effect of the theo-
ries which had long been domiciled in
the breasts of patriots of every race.
When, in 1889, the political fathers
of this country decided to make the ex-
pertinent of choosing one of their num-
Der for it's president. 1t was only the
beginning of problem which was to be
demonstrated. 1t has been worked out
30 exactly and so successfully that at
the present time there are no fewer than
twenty executive heads of govern
ments in the new world who are presi-
dents. In fact, this title is now borne
by every head of an Independent gov
ernment in the western world.
The fashion has not made such re-
markable Roadway in the old world.
France, which had experimental pre-
viously, Is again following la mode
Americana under Fallieres, and Swift
zerland is prospecting under the rule of
President Bremen. Those are the only
European states of Importance which
have acquired the president habit, but
there are at least two others of minor
interest. One of these is San Marino,
which has been a sort of republic for
so long that the time of it's beginning
is a matter of dispute. AS if to COM
pensate itself for it's miniature con-
ditions-it has an area of only twenty
two miles and a~population of about
10.000-San Marino maintains two
presidents. Nor is that the most re-

1t is relief to turn from the bar
barities of the old savage who rules
Haiti with the despptism of vicious
dictator to the admirable administra-
ton of Alfonso. Penna,' the capable and
dignified chief magistrate of the great
republic of Brazil. He is unique
among the Latin American presidents
from the fact that he is man OF
peace. His record is admirable in
every respect. He has never been en-

supreme moment came to be with him and hold his hand
 Much of the time since last Friday he had been unconscious or delirious. His condition in that respect was worse on Tuesday than it had been pre- Viously but yesterday the periods of lucidity were more frequent and of longer duration. once he was able to smoke a cigar and to talk much like his old self only in an awfully weak thin voice.
 The cause of death is believed to have been cancer of the stomach. For the last three weeks he had lived with out nourishment. In spite of the na ture of the disease there was not that degree of pain which usually accom- panies that dread ailment. and he was further relieved during the last days by the administration of opiates.
 Judge Burnett was about sixty years of age.

MURDER OF MOTHER
 AND SUICIDE OF SON
The Formers Refusal to Recognize a
 Secret Marriage Led to the Tragedy.

New York, Nov. 4. A revelation by a son to his mother of his secret mar riage and parental refusal to be recon ciled to it. is believed to have been the impelling cause of double tragedy in a large uptown apartment house to- day. The victims were Mrs. Rebecca Veit a wealthy widow and her only son, J. Nelson Veit, a Wall street broker.
 The circumstances indicate that the mother was shot by the son and the latter took his own life ty inhaling Illuminating gas. The bodies were dis covered today. Mrs. Veit lay dead on her bed with bullet wounds in her head and body and the son was found on the floor of a bath room in his mothers apartments lifeless from asphyXiation.

THE MAR|C0PA
 COUNTY VOTE Returns From All But Two of
 the 34 Precincts PLURALITY 0F CAMERON By the Figures of the Repub- lican It is to Date 236. Unusual but Small Disa- greements In Figures Gen. orally.
PLURALITY OF CAMERON

The Republican is now able to give the election returns of Maricopa county complete, except from the two pre- cincts of Mcdowell and Riverside and as accurately perhaps as they can be secured before the official count though in some instances there is a slight variance from the returns se- cured in other quarters.
 Some of the figures were secured from democratic sources only and in one or two instances first reports were later changed somewhat at both demo- cratic and republican headquarters casting the shadow of unreliability on all of them, though both parties sweat blood yesterday trying to secure the correct returns.
 The report from Agua Caliente for instance came in this way: that there were thirty straight votes for all dem ocratic candidates and one for all re- publican candidates" That would be situation so unusual that it is sup posed the speaker had reference only to the head of the ticket or some oth- CT section of it; nevertheless it was counted as given Still further shadow Was cast upon it when it was announc- ed at republican headquarters that there were not thirty-one votes on the great register, from Agua Caliente
 A similar report came from McDOw- ell. only the figures were 10 for Smith none for Cameron, nine for all other democrats and none for any republican
 It is also announced that In the first
 
 or fifteen votes that were not counted for anybody, majority of which were to all intents cast for republicans They were thrown out on the theory that the irregular marks were placed as a means Of identification. notwith- standing it was clear on some of them at least, who the voters intended them to be counted for though they were crude in their marking and fell under a possible construction of the law against them.
 The results as herewith given show the election of Phillips, probate judge, Homer Davis school superintendent and T. C. Reed for the assembly. It is also a matter Of street comment that Roy Goodrich is as certainly elect ed as the doubtful democratic oppo- nent. the figures being so close. The manifest shortcomings of the returns and the known Irregularities of the election boards, honest no doubt, but erroneous, are such that unless the official count reveals a considerably different state of affairs, the republi- cans will file contests in the interest of perhaps two or more candidates.
 Missing Returns.
 Following is the street report, what there IS of it, from the two missing precincts and should be taken into ac- count by all who read the totals that follow as made u9 from the tally sheets:
 Mcdowell, Smith To- Cameron 0; all other democrats each, all republican 0.

DEATH OF EARL S. pELoAcHE-

DEATH OF EARL S. DELoACHE- Earl s. Deloache died Tuesday night at the home of Mr. and Mrs. John F. Lewis. number 722 East Washington street being a brother of Mrs. Lewis He vas a vel known and highly re- spected young colored man of 21, who was born in Lancaster, Ohio, and who has lived in Arizona a couple of years. He was a barber by trade and a year ago was employed in the Fashion bar Der shop. Some six or eight months ago he developed tuberculosis and though he was able to be out until re- gently, he failed rapidly to the end. The funeral service will be held in the parlors of G. r. Merryman at 10:3 o'clock Friday and will be conducted by Rev. Bray of the A NJ E. church
 BOARD OF TRADE-There was an unusually large attendance at the meet ing of the board of directors of the board of trade yesterday afternoon, though the meeting was chiefly of a routine nature. It was devoted largely to the subject of finance and advertis- ing discussions of various kinds. It was ordered that $500 should be paid to the Mcintyre Advertising Co, on account. The finance committee was instructed to go over the situation carefully find out just what progress has been made in collecting the funds subscribed sometime ago and make recommendations to the board concern ing the raising of further funds. Sec retary Cowgirl made a report of the exhibit made at Albuquerque, but only informally, as report had first to be be made to the committee having it in charge locally and there is some fur ther work for the committee to com pIete including the turning of some of the prizes won into cash. The com mittee will formulate it's report at an early day. It was announced also that Messrs. Heard and Fowler will report on the Salt river bridge project at an early day. The committee having in charge the Maxwell meeting to be held under the auspices of the board, later il the evening fixed Saturday after noon at o'clock and the board room, as the time and place for holding it. All will be welcomed to this meeting and it is possible there may be later one when MT Maxwell will again show his stereOpticon pictures in connection with an address on the rural settle ments work.

A PERIOD 0F PAIN
 ENDED BY DEATH
JUDGE BURNETT LEFT THIS
 EARTH LAST NIGHT.
The End Which He Had Awaited Without Dread Csme to Him Peace fully.

Judge J. NJ Burnett reached the end of life's journey last night fifteen min utes before eleven o'clock. There were with him at his rooms in the National Bank of Arizona building former Gov ernor WOlflev, Territorial Auditor Sims Ely. and Mrs. Alywin and Mrs. Williams who have ministered to him during his illness as they had in pre- vious attacks within the last six years and who had come to be looked upon by him as sisters.
 The funeral of Judge Burnett will take place next Sunday, that day hay ing been selected in order that his many friends may pay their last trib- ute to one who had become dear to all. The details of the funeral and the fixing of the hour have been left to Easterling and Whitney The Elks and the Eagles will participate.
 For days the death of Judge Bur nett was imminent. It might have come at any moment and that it did not come earlier was due to his strong vitality When it did come it was painless. He passed away as one go- ing to sleep.
 For weeks he knew that he was doomed and for days he felt that he might not sec another sunrise. He spoke of his approaching end with calmness and said that he had no fear of death at all. He remarked few days ago that he had already lived longer than it is given most men to live.
 His only dread was the loneliness of it going out unaccompanied. Sev- eral days ago he asked one of his most intimate friends to be within easy call that he might be summoned when the

Comment.

In respect of the offices of justice of the peace and constable in Phoenix precinct the figures above do not in clude the precincts of Heard, Mcdowell and Riverside, which have not been reported as to those offices
 It is a matter of street report also that Hoghe is the high man for super visor. being some six or eight votes ahead of Hunsaker. This is probably based on some reports from the miss ing precincts.
 It is also street report that Fulton has more votes than Davis, probably based on estimates of missing returns. That controversy as well as the legis lative ticket cannot be settled before the official count, even if it is then.
 The conflict of returns is deplorable, but both at The Republican office and at headquarters of both committees, much resort was had to the telephone office. It is easy to make mistakes in names and figures and on an occasion like election night when there is much noise, everybody is busy and those in experienced in giving telephone reports are often the transmitters or receivers, the conditions are worst than usual. and once a report is received if would be folly to change it to harmOnize with the record of every other record maker. whose source of information might be no more reliable.
