armed only with a pen and a letter,
and the giant was struggling to es-
cape from the blows struck by a feeble
man
The firing of Joe Brown from the
Railroad Commission was touched up
on, and the mysterious letter analvz-
ed. judge Hines, who was now coun-
sci for the commission, had held that
a similar discharge was under an
act unconstitutional in that the ac-
cused had no chance to make reply.
Has imperialism in the state arriv-
ed?" cried the speaker 1--WE might
stand imperialism in the nation, but
never in the state, or worse still in the
counties"
Gov Smith was condemned for try
ing to make Joe Browns father an is
sue. Has Joe Brown referred to Gov
Smiths father?" asked the speaker
cor where he came from? Are there
any Yankee notions in the South, and
if so who brought them?"
Pride Before Fall.
Where does all this Smith hurrah
come in?' continued the speaker.
'Hoke Smith was never endorsed by
Georgians until his election for Gov
ernor. He was appointed by Cleve-
land. His majority as Governor puff
fed him up, and it is said that pride
goes before a fall All his subjects
are of the postmortem variety. Does
prohibition belong to him? Great
Heavens, he was the latest convert.
What right has HOke Smith to snatch
the plume from Seab Wright and 9th
erS? On the disfranchisement uues-
ton it is the same way. That's Tom
flardWick's idea He worked for it
when it was unpopular. What right
has this man to take Tom Hardwick's
glory from him? What did the big
man do? Nothing, except to filch the
credit from Tom Hardwick and Tom
Watson. His deeds are all of the
pOstmortem variety.
THE best we can hope for is to
get him to tell us where he stands
right now on some questions, while
on others he won't even say that
much. 1t would be too severe on him
to ask him where he will stand to-
morrow, and to ask him where he
stood yesterday would be to require
too great a stretch of memory.

 "A conscrIption law providing for this compulsory service Tn the army is under consideration by a commission headed by General Antonio k. Flores.

Colonel Randolph In Frisco.

Col. Epes Randolph, while in San Francisco, few days ago, gave out an interview regarding railroad build ing in southern Arizona and Mexico. Col. Randolph went to San Francisco to confer with E. H. Hartman. He said in his inter view:
 "The Southern Pacific of Mexico, now being built from Guaymas on the Gulf of California inland to Guadsla- isra, 900 miles, and thence northward along the Yaqui river to the interna- tional border and through Douglas. Arizona, to B junction with the South ern Pacific at Cochise, ninety miles already constructed.
 "During this year we have built $50 miles of road, which, I believe, is a speed record for railroad construc- tion in America. The entire line will be 1900 miles, and it will be completed about 1914. The line from Guaymas has been completed to Culiacan. $50 miles to the southward, and to a point thirteen miles beyond Culiscan. Thence it is to go to Guadalajars.
 "It is opening up country very rich in agricultural and in minerals gold, silver and copper. And the road up the Yaqui River valley is 60 be through the richest undeveloped min eral country anywhere. Along the
 
 Yaqui the mines will be largely cop per, with large deposits of anthracite coal. The Southern Pacific company owns some of the coal deposits"

Henry watterson's Opinion.

We admit 8 change of heart and Bryan. He is bigger and better man than we thought him. He is entitled to the respect of the people. He will make an entirely safe and sane president; much safer and more sane than MT. Roosevelt, whose bark has been worse than his bite. disturb ing the country without driving away the thieves. But even if we person. ally detested MT. Bryan, we should support him on the broad issue that the Republican party has made itself the embodiment of vicious and i'm moral government.
 it is in reality the author of every evil which Mir. Roosevelt has so graphically pictured and of which the people complain SO loudly and SO just lv. There is not the least hope of re- form if it's tenure be renewed. A change. if only for the sake of change, is nece ssary to restore the lost balance of party forces resulting from a dornin- ation of nearly fifty years hardly punctured by the two Cleveland terms. After sixty years of such domination the historic Democratic party was strong enough to make it's exit the signal for 8 great war. The Repub-- licans have been going the same reck- less gait the Democrats went. Party leaders, party spirit, party interest, need to be admoni.hed now and then by defeat, t!:at there is a constitution. that there is a people, and that there is a God; circumstances which, in the exultance of victory and the arrogance of power, the leaders are apt to forget.

W. J. kINGSBURY FUND.
Tempe Banker Goes to Assistance of
 Worthy Normal Students.

w. J. Kingsbury, president of the
 Farmer & Merchants bank of Tempe, has instituted practical and bene- ficial plan whereby ambitious and
 worthy students of the Tempe Normal school who wish to graduate from that institution but who may be lacking somewhat in funds necessary to carry them through the course, may do SO despite the financial dra wback.
 It is a we'll known fact that during the senior year the expenses of the student are naturally greater and the
 financial difficulties necessarily more pronounced. Notwithstanding this fact it IS also the period in che stud- ent's career when he is most anxious to complete the course and receive his diploma. To be deprived of it through circumstances over which he has no control, such as a lack ot funds, is dis eouraging and oft time brings to an abrupt end promising scholastic ca reer which otherwise would be contin- ued and carried to successful end.
 It is to meet this difficulty and lend ald and assistance to the worthy young men and women of the territory who are struggling to get an education that MT. Kingsbury has originated what is to be known as the Kingsbury senior assistance fund. This fund is to con sist of $500 to be set aside in the bank and to be in charge of the faculty of the Tempe Normal school, represented by a committee and to be loaned at a. low rate of interest, with or without security, to such seniors and under such conditions as the faculty commit tee may recommend.
 Handled in this manner it becomes a business proposition to the student and furnishes a means of perpetuation of the fund.
 The extent of the benefit and as- sistance to be derived from such e plan can hardly be realized by others than those intimately connected with the school. Financial assistance m the senior year of the normal, as in any institution of advanced learning, in the case of many students becomes an absolute necessity, without which they are unable to finish the work and round out the plans which they have made and toward which they have been working throughout the balance of the course. This benefit fund will prove a happy solution to the problem to many of them and Mir. KIngsbury1s assistance and consideration will be greatly appreciated.-Tempe News.

Receipts of States from National For
 eStS.

Announcement has just been made of the amounts which each State con- taining National Forests will receive under the new law giving 25 per cent of the gross receipts from forests to these States. The total amount to go to the States. from the receipts of the fiscal year which ended June 30, is S447 ,O63,79.
 The amounts to go to each State or Territory are: Alaska, $2,684 7S; Arizona, S42.sIO.44; Arkansas, $3l3.- 68: California, S52, ,437.7S; Colorado. $5O.055 e; Idaho. 1907 .S4; Kan sas, $643 55; Montana, $75.807. Al; Nebraska, S2.34977; Nevada. S4,- 577.95; New Mexico. S25, 464 i2; Oklahoma. S554 AS; Oregon. $32. .313.. 52; South Dakota. S8. .455 60; Utah. *32. .151.02 Gncluding Uinta Indian refund of $5.34S o7); Washington, SIS. .O32 79, and Wyoming. S41. 402 38
 The law requires that this money be expended upon public roads and schools by the counties which contain Ma Lional Forest land. In this way the counties are compensated for the re- duction of taxable area brought about by the existence of the Forests.
 Before this year the States have re- ceived 10 per cent of the gross receipts, but Congress voted last Winter to increase the amonnt to 25 per cent.

OPPOSES LITTLEFIELD ACT.
kustermann Of Wisconsin Makes Long
Argument Against 1t.

Washington, Feb. 1I.-Heprcsenta-
tive kustermann of Wisconsin, today
made ali argument before the House
judiciary committee against ire Llttlt-
field act providing that liquor. which
is shipped in interstate commerce into
a state. and directed as a local option
district, shall be SeiZable at the state
borders. He contended that the bill
cannot he upheld and therefore argued
that il should not be enacted into law
In discussing the constitutional fea-
lures of the bill, Mr.. Kaustermann said
that itat part Of the Constitution
should be borne in mind which says
that no preference shall be given by
any regulation of commerce or revenue
to one state over another. This. he
said, should prevent Congress from
keeping liquor out Of a few states and
not out of all.
in this connection" continued Mr..
kustcrm;tnn, lit might also be well to
remember that no citizen of on" grant
country shall, according to the Con-
stitution. be deprived of life, liberty
and the pursuit Of happiness. If an
occasional glass of wine adds 10 my
happiness. as it does, you are not al
lowed to pr vent me getting it,
Mr.. Fisherman said that il a bill
were passed TO prevent interstate COM
inerce in Intoxicating liquors. the ques-
ton would arise whether under such
an act all patent medicines contain
ing alcohol could not be debarred. The
next step Of the agitators. he said,
! would probably be to keep out tobacco
and cigars. because some OF their dear
ones are affected by the use of the
weed and it il not one Of the aGitatorS'
gooG traits 10 pay attention to the
likes and dislilseS of others. And cOf-
fee. which II taken in too large doses,
Will undermine the health, would be
next In turn.
Declaring himself to be q man of
temperance. Mr.. kuste rTnann urged for
the right of every man to choose for
himself in eating and drinking. He
closed with Il plea for the restoration
Of the canteen in the army.
