1t Is. For three wears past 1t has been

has been misused against labor and
that there has been wide abuse OF
the injunction. There have been
issued only 1928 injunctions by the
courts in the last five years and but
20 Of them in labor troubles. Now
those who attack the iudiclary--how
many in1unctions do they complain
of in eighteen years? Just eighteen,
"In all these eighteen cases only
one injunction has been modified by
the United States supreme court. In
seventeen other cases then they have
either not appealed or have beel de-

Wherever does the president get
his evidence upon which to arraign

of injunctions? He has failed to give

PLAN FOR STATEHOOD
OF TWO TERRITORIES
Denver Republican.

| Denver Republican
Francis Tracy Tobin, the prominent
Philadelphia attorney who is In Den
yer representing DR.. s. A. Knopffn
in his 100000 damage suit against
the Philadelphia North American, has
novel plan for the division of power
| and political prestige between the ter
ritorles of New Mexico and Arizona.
and one that is worthy of attention.
Mr.. Tobin was candidate for the ter
r1orial governorship of New Mexico
when Gov. Otero was appointed, and
has studied conditions there. The plan
Is to cut off a slice of Texas, including
El Pasos and join II to New Mexico.
Also to annex the Pennington sec
ton of New Mexico to Colorado, as
petitioned by that section at the last
session OF the New Mexican legisla-
ture.
III Paso is Republican while the rest
OF Texas Is Democratic. 1t is, he
claims, Independent IN resources and
ted to be the metropolis. in view OF
its recent great growth. of a state. II
would also greatly add to the popula-
ton and power of New Mexico and
give 1t better show to get along and
more right to demand statehood. Ari-
zona is distinct from New Mexico in
the character of its people, its re-
sources and interests, and for that rea-
son he does not believe in President
Roosevelt's plan to unite the two ter
ritories as one state. Botn Phoenix
and Santa Fe have handsome terri
torial houses and 1t would seem a
great loss of money In this respect
alone to abolish one capital unless the
plan of Rhode Island were followed.
Mr.. Tobin was refused the appoint
ment as governor OF New Mexico be
cause he was a nonresident, but he
expects to become q resident of New
Mexico soon and be candidate for
the chief executive office OF the terri
tory again. He was appointed commits
sioner for New Mexico to the national
export exposition at Philadelphia in
1899 by Governor Otero, delegate to
represent New Mexico at the Interstate
commercial congress in connection
with that exposition, and In 1906 was
appointed by Governor Hagerman del
egate to the divorce congress at Wash
ington, w. D.. and Philadelphia, from
New Mexico. At that time his seat
was challenged because he represented
territory. but he intimated that New
Mexico could open It's doors to all
persons desiring divorces, and his seat
was granted speedily. Mr.. Tobin is
the son OF Thomas Tobin. pioneer of
San Francisco. who went there in
1s49.
