N. the hearts, in the speech and in the
actions of men oppos; d TO just human
government and divine rule.
Yes, he was logical. He might
hate the ministers or other Christian
bodies, but not with similar hate
the impotant hate that Stays; for
they, alas, are too divided to be dan
gerOus to him. He might hate king,
for he rules, but kings come and
kings go, and kingly policies have
their chances and changes. But the
Catholic priest is slain but to live,
and the Catholic policy, the Catholic
accents of morality are unchanged
and Interchangeable as the throne of
God.
He saw this at home in Italy, that
there it is not the Parliament of the
King that saves his crown to aim;
it Is not the army of Italy that saves
her from the spelling of the Socialist
and the red hand OF the anarchist.
Though weakened by many OBJECTIONS
the one strong, coherent, unyieldins
power is stin an imprisoned Pape aud
an ill.used church.
And hence the whole foul breed OF
them, the Socialist who breaches. and
the anarchist who translates the ser
mon into red deeds. come here hating
the church and the priesthood. Here
they learn to hate all ether things
that are consecrated to us, the power
OF our President. the wisdom of our
SqDates, the majesty Of our courts
and the quiet dignity of our homes.
Great God, brethren, what are we
doing OF what are we thinking? A
great President Of our country is
slain by 8 degenerate who was nerved
to the deed by Socialism and a1arch-
istic vapoFings. We rsad that an
aschy has its seat in New jersey that
she sits in council in New Orleans,
or Chicago. They have propaganda
q red press, an appeal 10 reason for
sooth. We are made aware that some
of them come here from Southern and
Eastarn Europe in every shipload, and
with supine Indifference We look on.
Have we found the pearl beyond price,
that we may roll it in the dust like a
child's plsything? Have we grown
so Sold in our love toward the fair
yestai, liberty, that we feel no indis-
nation when the ruffian and the
stranger treat her as if she were the
harlos of the public placer"

Burnett Goodwin, purchasing agent
for the Saddle Mountain company and
manager of the mine since it closed
down last fall, made this important
statement to General Agent Lee H.
Lands of the Maricopa and Phoenix
yesterday afternoon.
Financial arrangements have been

managers telegraphed from Ohio that
1t was important to have the Arizona
committee endorse the presidential
favorite and notwithstanding Cover
nor Kibbey had given assurance in
the east that the territory was Cor
Taft. no efTert was made in the com
mittee to give an indication of that
fact. 1t looks very much Hike those
who have been contending for an In
strueted delegation had laid down
their arms.
Bisbee daily review., 1908-03-03

Probably no announcement could
come to the miners of Pinal and the,
people of Phoenix that will give great
er satisfaction than Goodwin's posi-
tive assertion that work is to resume
at the Saddle Mountain, which closed
down last fall as a result of the slump
in copper and financial panic.
Goodwin states that the Saddle
Mountain company win carry out its
plan of building six miles of narrow
guage track from Winkelman to the
base of the hillside on which the
mine and smelter are located
With the narrow guage in operation
the company will be able to get its
coke to the smelter at greatly reduced
cost, as well as make a big saving on
all other supplies brought In.
