THE GARTER.
Insignia of the Most Coveted of All
 English Orders.

insignia or the MoSt CoNeted or All English Orders.
 Although the most coveted of Eng fish orders, the origin of the Garter Is really mystery.
 Conflicting authorities assign the foundation of the order either to the 23d 0. April, St. Georges day, 1914, or to the same festival five years later. while the popular anecdote associated with it is that at court ceremony a lady-either the queen. the Countess of Salisbury or the Countess of Kent happened to drop her garter, which was picked up by King Edward III. who, observing a disposition to laugh among the bystanders. exclaimed in his royal displeasure. "Honi solt qui nal y pense" (disgraced be he who thinks i'll of it).
 The reigning monarch is, of course, ex ofieio the sovereign of the Order Of the Garter.
 At first the garter was made of light blue silk. but that which is now given is made of dark blue velvet It is worn on the left leg 6 little below the knee
 The Order of the Garter as an order of chivalry has very deep religious significance. It is, or should be, at tended by religious ceremonies of a very precise and ornate character. and it was reported in victoria's reign that a certain nobleman hesitated as to ac- cepting the honor on account of Its having been conferred on an oriental potentate.- Philadelphia North Ameri- can

 Edward Cleaning. chased by mob of angry woodsmen who accused him of theft, broke all high diving records in the vicinity Of Oxford by plunging fully clothed from the top of a forty foot bluff known as the Devils Eye. lash Into the Octorato creek. Although he is not an expert swimmer, Glen ming, who was unhurt. managed to reach the opposite bank of the stream. There he joined men with whom he had been working, who furnished the fugitive Q temporary refuge, but when they found he was charged with steal. ing watch and money they. too. re- fused to let him remain, and he was taken to jail in Oxford to await trial.
 Cleaning was employed as laborer for masons who are repairing the Pine Grove bridge. The woodcutters were working close to the bridge and had left their coats in a wagon. Some of the masons saw Glenning go to this

 A decision which will. in all prob ability, have some bearing on the case, is that of Judge R. E. Lewis of Denver. A press dispatch from Den yer, under date ot December 30, says:
 United States Judge R. E. Lewls today quashed all indictments and sustained all demurrers in the coal land fraud cases, thereby releasing about fifty prominent defendants from prosecution.
 Recently he quashed indictments for the alleged timber land frauds and today's action set at naught the work of the special grand jury called last May. Among the defendants who es- capped prosecution are s. W. sitel and about fourteen others off St. Louis, comp--5ing the Tampa Coal company.

NO BREAKERS AHEAD

With the territorial convention
of the Democratic party less than
u month away there has not been
sounded single note indicative of
anything other than complete
harmony and unity of purpose
throughout. While the gathering
in this city upon May 2Sth will
undoubtedly. be the occasion for
manifestation of a friendly rivalry
between some of the different
delegates for party honors there
will be, for certainty, n complete
absence of any acrimony or special
bone of contention. This in marked
contrast to conditions which pre-.
vailed in the recent convention of
the opposing party.
1t is unlikely that instruction
for any presidential candidate will
be insisted upon. However. the
sentiment of the Democratic party
in Arizona of appreciation for the
eminent qualifications Of William
Jennings Bryan and Of the services
rendered by him while in Congress
in behalf of Arizona's statehood
claim as we'll as of his well, known
and often declared conviction that
recognition of such claim Is an
imperative duty devolving upon
Congress will unquestionably re.
ceive due acknowledgement.
A healthy competition for the
posts of national committeeman
and delegates to the national con-
vention gives indication of a lively
interest IN party affairs, but does
not by any means presage a
struggle marked by bitterness
leading to the sacrifice of party o
personal interests. The character
of the men mentioned so far is a
guarantee that no intensity o'
rivalry will he permitted to gather
v, lume sufficient to cause party
discord.-Tucson Citizen.

REMOVAL OF COURT HOUSE

The Bulletin, in its last issue,
speaking editorially, does not be-
lieve the county seat should be
removed to Stafford, and sets up a
calamity howl about the great cost
it would be to the taxpayers of
the county if the court house and
county hospital we're removed
from Solomonville.
The fact is the people of the
county are fast getting to the
belief that Graham County should
have IA court house that is.moderh
in every way. They also believe
that a county hospital should be
erected that would be up.to.date
in all its appointments.
The present court house is not
in accord with the times. The
building is too small for the
transaction of county business and
the holding of the district court.
There is not a decent Office room
in the building, and the building
itself is unsafe and constantly in
need Of repairs. lately, it had to
be braced with iron striugers to
prevent the walls from falling. 1t
is so antiquated, from an architect
ural standpoint, that it will be
impossible, without going to great
expense, to either improve or
strengthen it 80 it can be made safe.
The Jail quarters are a disgrace
to any civilized community, and
it would be great expense to the
taxpayers to improve these quart
ers and put them in hcaltbful
condition and also enlarge thea
so that the uufortnnates who are
imprisoned there would not be
packed in space like sardines.
What Graham County needs
most of all is new court house
built on up-to-dato lines, with
every facility to hold court, and
with plenty of Office rooms for the
county officers. 1t also needs a
county Jail that will be strong
enough to hold the prisoners sent
there, and with room enough to
keep il in good sanitary condition.

would be modern in every way
for the treatment of the sick. Such
a hospital, properly cared for,
could be used by patients who
would pay for treatment and for
their rooms and nursing. At this
time we have no hospital tba,
could take care of the sick who
are able to pay their way, and we
need one badly. Patching up the
old building will not give the
room or kind of building wanted.
The majority of the people in
Graham County are progressive,
vet there are still few "has- beens"
who are as far advanced in modern
ideas today as they were twenty
years ago. This class would keep
the same jail even if the vermin
ate up every prisoner incarcerated
there. They would keep the same
court house even though the walls
had to be patched and strengthened
every year or oftener, and the milk
of human kindness having evapor-
ated from their skinny breasts so
many years ago, they have no
thought now of the need of healthy
hospital quarters for the care OF
the sick. This is the class that
keeps Graham County in the back
ground and prevents progress.
AS to location every citizen of
Graham County that gives the
matter thought knows that SAT-
ford affords better location for
the county buildings than any
other point in the valley. The
distance TO be travelled is so small
that people from Moreuci, Clifton
and Duncan and other points
would be perfectly satisfied to
travel to Stafford.
Stafford is progressive. 1t is
further advanced in every way and
il is the ideal location for county
buildings. Solomonville will never
advance to any great extent, and
it the county seat was removed to
a live city like Stafford, the people
of Solomonville would hardly
realize it. 1t doesn't keep up with
the procession.
County division, as advanced by
the Bulletin, is simply bluff.
People of the east end don't want
it, but it it takes it to get decent
court house, by all means take
county division. The land for the
county buildings, that the Bulletin
says will be such burden to buy,
will be given to the county by the
people of Stafford.
