won the following full approval of Mir Semple: t
 The president hit the courts an aw- ful jab on the point of the chin upon the injunction question. If the iniquit- ous abuse of a self-usurped authority in the hands of dangerous courts is checked. there is yet hope for the la borer InjunC ton proceedings. where distinguished gentleman, who has probably not been able to earn sub stantila living in the practice of his of- flee. now raised to the wearing of the judicial ermine have become a Judi crous farce. were it not for the bale ful influences of just those injunctiOns. They are contrary to the freedom of our courts as originally intended. The power has been gradually and sneak ingly grabbed upon by judges. to inn pose more severe aUsterity which en- velops the sacred persons of the bench. but it is a power they should be de- prived of to the extent to which they now go, and deprived of it summarily. The proposition that one workingman may not tell another that a firm or corporation is unfair to organized la bor." is so ridiculously absurd as to excite only contempt for the court that would issue such an injunction Con- tempt. except done in the presence of the court. disrespectful contempt. that tends to lower the dignity of the courts person, or the dignity of the law. is another thing that needs curb ing. We deny the right of any judge to sit as an inquisitor and imprison or fine persons, upon his own assumption, without a hearing in a public manner and before a jury of the cited persons peers. Our laws need changing upon these points, among many, and the way to have them changed is to vote for it by electing judges that will con strue the law" once in a while at least faVorably to labor, to freedom of speech as alleged to be guaranteed by that beautiful instrument called the constitution.
 The president has an even stronger claim upon the support of Brother Semple; or perhaps Brother Semple has a stronger claim upon the further services of the president. He has been paying the presidents salary and not unnaturally feels a proprietary inter est in him. The president can perform no service of greater value to Brother Semple than to abolish, wipe out and make void that function of the courts which permits any judge to sit as an inquisitor and imprison or fine persons upon his own assumption" It was that reckless exercise of the tyrannical power of judges which made Brother Semple the paymaster and proprietor of President Roosevelt.

LINCOLN.

! This is the anniversary of the birth The greatness was born in him and was developed by a more imperative demand for greatness than had ever been made upon his predecessors, or than has ever been made upon any of his successors.
 If ever a man was created for a special work that man was Lincoln and it pleased the Creator to bring him from the depths. Lincoln in the height Of his power, never grew away from his humble origin. Once in reply 10 an application for data regarding his early life he said: Tt Is great piece of folly to attempt to make anything out of me or my early life. IL can be condensed into single sentence and that sentence you will find in Grays 'Elegy'-'The short and simple annals Of the poor
 A single false reckless move by Lin coin would have wrecked the nation but he made none. Every word he ut tered was for the allaying of national unrest until the nation was split apart and every word he uttered thereafter was for the encouragement and the heartening Of the north which was to bind it together again more strongly than before.
 The service of Lincoln to his coun- try looms larger with the passage of time. The most striking though not the worthiest testimony to his great ness is afforded by latter day pOliti- clans and statesmen who seek the fav- or of the populace by declaring that they would have the approval of Lin coin if he were living. Democrats, dem agoguges, populists. socialists, all in-, yoke the memory of Lincoln to sancti- fy their beliefs and policies. e
 Perhaps if the need should be an- other Lincoln would arise to dignify. and almost hallow the presidential of flee as it was dignified between March 4, 1861 and April l5. 1865.

it would be better for him if his hand ful of foolish friends could be made to concede that the first duty of Ari- zOnans is to themselves.
 The defeat of Mir. Taft at Chicago. if it occurs, may be attributed not to his own weallness but to the fatuous fol- ly with which his campaign has been managed everywhere from the begin ming. The tendency of his boomers has been to drive away self respecting republicans. however great their ad- miratien for the able secretary of war
 Even the literature of the adminis- tration campaign bureau is a libel on the candidate and an insult to the in- telligence of republicans. This pa per is unexplainably in daily receipt of installments of it. There came to hand yesterday a circular, containing among others, an editorial purporting to be an utterance of The Arizona Re publican. urging an instructed delega- tion. and proving by figures that the nomination of Mir Taft on the first ballot was inevitable The manage ment of that bureau knew that no such editorial ever appeared in this paper. It knew also that the editorial" was an extract from a published statement by Governor Kibbey for whose opin- ions The Republican is in no way re- sponsible. That bit of literature laid before Arizona readers would serve to cast a doubt upon all the claims and statements of the administration bu- reau.
 Mir. Hitchcock, the manager to-be of the Taft campaign, cannot begin the work of reorganization too early, Per haps his direction of it will result in the injection of some intelligence into the Arizona campaign.

SOCIETY BELIEF FOUND DEAD.
Mrs. Burden Is Victim Of Accidental
Gas Poisoning.

Gas Poisoning.
New York, Feb. 23.-Mrs. William
Proudfit Burden, who was Natica
Rives, daughter of o. H. P. Belmont
and society favorite in New York,
Newport and Washington, was found
dead in bed at her Fifth avenue home
yesterday. Death. the coroner decid-
ed. was accidental and due to gas poi
soning. A disconnected gas tube,
which had led from a chandelier to a
drop light, SO placed Thursday night
that Mrs. Burden might read while
propped up in bed, had permitted a
flow of gas that filled the room, and,
escaping into the hall, finally attracted
the attention of the servants.
Apparently having become drowsy,
Mrs. Burden had reached from her
bed and turned off the lamp cock in
stead Of taking the trouble to get up
and shut off the gas at the chandelier
jet. In some manner undetermined
the tube became loosened at the lower
end. and slipping off the feed pipe of
the lamp laid in such a position that
the flow of poisonous gas was directed
into the sleeper's face. The dead wom-
an lay as in a sleep, without sign Of
physical or mental disturbance.

Committee Calls on Man WHO
Sprung Sensation in House
to Show His Hand.
WERE LAVISH IN ENTERTAINING
Submarine Boat Builders Alleged to
Have Spent Freely-Solons
Are Excited.

Washington. Feb. 23. = Representa-
tive Lilley of Connecticut, who caused
a sensation Thursday by introducing a
resolution calling for an investigation
of methods said to have been employ.
ed by the Electric Boat company in en-
deavoring to have it's submarine boat
chosen by the house committee on ma
val affairs, is to be called before the
committee on rules. to which the reso-
luton was referred. If he can show
there is substantial ground for his
charges his resolution will be favora-
bly, reported. it is said.
Mr.. Loudenslager. author of the COM
mittee amendment making it obliga-
tory on the navy department to pur-
chase eight submarines of the Octopus
type unless a superior submarine
should be obtained by Oct. 1, 1908, re-
fused to discuss the Liley resolution
or to reply publicly to Mr.. Lilley's
charge that this amendment was in
effect delivery of the prospective
contract into the hands of the Electric
Boat company.
Mr.. Loudenslager intimated that Eat
the proper time" he would be prepared
to refute all charges of favoritism so
far as his action in committee was
concerned.
Lavish in Entertaining.
The resolution of investigation was
yesterday a chief topic of discussion
in the Hobbies and cloak rooms. None
of the representatives was willing to
talk for publication.
That representatives of the Electric
Boat company have been lavish enter
tanners" in Washington appeared to
be common knowledge, but no one
went so far as to impute to them the
improper motives charged by Repre-.
sentative Li!ley.
Chairman Foss of the committee on
naval affairs was unwilling to make
formal statement with regard to Rep
resentative Lilley's resolution and the
charges back of it. Mr.. Foss' attitude
was that he preferred not to take Of
fetal notice of the affair, because it
was now in the hands of the commit
tee On rules. But personally he thought
that a full investigation ought to be
made, provided Mr.. Lilley could show
that he has the hard ground of facts
under his feet"

RUN DOWN BY TRAIN.
Six Of a Party Of Merrynakers Are
Killed,

Spring Valley, N. Y, eb. ga
foam specked pair Of horses that tore
through the streets early yesterday.
dragging between them spiintered
wagon pole, brought to the village the
first news of grade crossing accident
in which nine members of it's most
prominent families were either killed
outright OF frightfully injured.
The runaways brought up at the liv-
cry stable of George Young, from
from whom they had been hired the
night before to take party of men
and girls to basketball game at N.Y.
ack. Returning in the early hours of
yesterday the wagonload of merry
makers was run down at a West N.Y.
ack crossing by an Ontario & Western
express train.
Four of the party were instantly
killed, two died while being removed
to the Hudson County hospital at Ho-
boken, N. j., and the other three lie
in serious condition at that institu.
ton. ,...
The responsibility for the accident
is in dispute. The survivors cannot
be questioned as yet, and the only
other witness was the CT ossing
gate tender. He claims that the team
was driven through the lowered gates.
The gate on the side of approach was
broken down, but the opposite gate
was intact, and if previously lowered
must have been hurdled by the fright
ened horses after the wagon had been
struck and torn from its pole. The
animals were uninjured.

THEY Want TO SEE Big fleet
Premier Deakin Sends Invitation to
Have Battleship Visit Aus.
tralia.

Washington, Feb. 23. - Interesting
and important news relative to the fu-
ture movements of the American bat
tleship fleet was made public at the
conclusion of the cabinet meeting yes
terday by Secretary Metcalf, compris-
I ing an invitation from the Australian
government to have the fleet, or at
least some of it's units, visit that coun-
try. Secretary Roots reply is the
first authentic indication as to the in
tended movements of the feet after its
journey to San Francisco has been
completed. After expressing his APP
probation of the invitation, the secre-
tary says
THE eventual movements Of our
fleet have not been determined. While
it is possible that the vessels will re-
turn by the way of Suez. l would be
glad If some Of them could be sent by
the Australian route, but it would be
premature to promise this"
The invitation was first mentioned
in letter by Hon. Alfred Deakin,
prime minister of Australia, addressed
to John P. Gray, American consul gen.
eral at Melbourne, dated Dec. "a last.
Warm Welcome Assured.
In his letter transmitting the CON-
munication Consul General Gray says:
Il may mention that the prime min
lister called on the consulate general
in person and urged the favorable
consideration of the invitation.
"Assuredly the prime minister in his
letter voices the sentimentA Of the
Australian community, and If 1t is pos
sib!e for the invitation to be accepted
the heartiest welcome would await the
fleet in these waters.'
Secretary Metcalf in making the
correspondence public expressed the
extreme qualification of the navy de-
partment of the cordiality of the invi-
tation and added that the matter
would receive the earnest considera-
tion of the department
