NO TIME FOR ETHICS

Some of the democratic news papers of Arizona and the friends of Marcus A. Smith persist in view ing the present situation from purely moral and ethical stand point. They dwell upon the cir cumstance that Mir. Smith and the democrats in congress have al- ways been for statehood and claim that common gratitude to both dictates the return of MT. Smith. They pretend to assume that the republicans in congress are bound by the statehood plank of the national platform to grant as i'm mediate statehood anyhow; that it would be immoral not to do so.
 As to MT. Smiths attitude on statehood there is no dispute. Neither does anyone deny that the democrats in congress have always, since the Cleveland ad administration. been in favor of the admission of Arizona. But since Cleveland's time there have never been enough of them to do us any good. There are not enough of them now and there cannot be enough in the next session of congress.
 As to the assumption that the republicans in congress, especially the present congress, are bound by the statehood or any other plank of the national platform, that is illogical and false. We are free to confess that the mere insertion of that plank in the platform brought us no elation or made statehood seem any nearer. But we hailed the adoption of it as a good sign of a changing sentiment ] in men who had hitherto been sternly against admission. It was that rather than the words of the plank that gave us hope of early statehood.
 We believe we will get it and we believe that if Arizona elects Ralph Cameron delegate to congress this fall, showing that Arizona has at least fighting chance of becoming republican state, we will get it at the rapidly approaching short ses sion. We believe that if MT. Smith is re elected, that the subject will naturally go over, at least to the next congress, and we feel certain that if New Mexico should go democratic, as seems probable, the whole statehood question will be set aside for an indefinite period.
 Even if we might agree with, our democratic friends as to the moral duty of the republican congress we would still be unable to see how we could be benefited by shutting our eyes to the possibility or prob ability of an immoral act. We want statehood and it is our part to make it easier for congress to re deem what MT. Smiths friends persist in regarding as a pledge We would be foolish to tempt con- gress to try to violate it.
 Whatever may be the duty oi congress, our duty is plain-Phoe- nix Republican.

in raising the money necessary to

The armory will be located at the

park They had no intimation of
danger when Silverstein crept up in
the rear.
During the panic that followed the
bomb throwing further reserves were
hurried to the place and another half
an hour was spent in driving the peo-
pie away from the square. This
done, ropes were strung around the
park and the police patrol kept the
people back. The bomb throwing
had pacifying effect upon the
crowd and half an hour later COM
paratively few persons remained in
the vicinity.
Along with Silverstein and the
body of his companion four police
men were placed in the patrol wag-
ons. Silverstein and the policemen
were taken to the Bellvue hospital
and the body of the other to the NOR
que. Silverstein appears to be about

The body of his companion later
was identified as that of Ignatz Hill

ttein had been living with his aunt,
Mrs. Gussie Alexander, at 80 Beaver

peared to indicate a hurried effort
to remove means of identification,

ly year before.
The executive chamber was crowd
ed when the hearing began. The
testimony given in public, however,
was that Mrs. Neva Wilcox, Mrs. FL
da M. Hoag and Albert B. Cross, all
employees in the Gillette shirt fac
tory at Cortland, where Gillette and
Grace Brown worked. They merely
verified orally their afidavits to the
effect that Grace Brown had spas
ans" which were a matter of COM
mon knowledge in the factory. Miss
M. Gillette, third cousin of the con-
demned man, swore orally as she did
in her afiadivit, that the ribbon was
torn from Gillette,s straw hat and
given to her during an outing at
McGrawville, near. Cortland, in Sept.
1905.
There was also filed with the gov
ernor an affidavit by Albert H. Ham
line, chemist of Auborn, who
claims to have had special experience
in autopsies where death was due
to drowning or violence. Among
other things he says:
I'm my opinion, all these things,
lreferring to claims that Grace
Brown was subject to epileptic seiz-
ures) would be perfectly CONSTANT,
with, first, an epileptic seizure and
fall, followed by death from drown
ing and inconsistent with disable
ment from a blow followed by
drowning
Mr.. and Mrs. Frank S. Gillette,
parents Of the condemned youth,
and Mrs. Catherine Gillette, his aunt
were present at both sessions.
At the close Of the Testimony. the
governor announced that he would
not make public his decision before
tomorrow.

The gist of the evidence which the

to the court in case the governor
gives them the time is to the effect
that Grace Brown, for whose al
legged murder at Big Moose Lake
in July, 1906, Gillette is sentenced
to die, was subject to epileptic seiz-

might account for the bodily injuries

above the level of the street.
The structure will be built of Will
ton rose-colored pressed brick, trim
med with Kettle River cut stone, and
the design will not only be new but
very attractive. In the basement
will be the company and officers
rooms, the gymnasium, Grand Army
room, baths, toilets, kitchen and
heating plant, all on the most mod
ern plan. A broad stairway leads to
the street and to the next floor,
which will have large reception
rooms and also cloak rooms in the
front and the drill room, 50xS0 feet,
back of them. This latter will have
a hardwood floor laid with especial
care for dancing as well as for other
uses. Around the west end there
will be semi-circular balcony and
a music stand. The roof will be
supported by steel trusses, so there
will be no posts or other objectiona-
BILE features of this kind and it is
figured the acoustic properties of the
hall will be excellent.
Captain Henry Murphy deserves
especial credit for this consumation
long hoped for by the militia boys,
as he has been untiring in this be-
half ever since he took command of
the company and it was mainly
through his efforts that the business
men became interested in the project.
Every member of the company, how
ever, has been hustler for the
armory and the boys have reason to
be gratified at the fruition Of their
hopes.
This building will be of great SER
vice to Bismarck for many reasons
and it will be found very useful in
case of large gatherings, dances, and
things like that, besides it's primary
use for the purpose designed. 1t will
be an ornament to the city and n
the end will have been achieved a
little or no cost to it's sponsors.

Some time ago when a meeting of |

Central Federal union refused to
take part in or give its sanction to

The rough element soon afterward

hooting of the police. For time
the officers kept the people within
the limits of the park and when some
of the demonstrators crowded into

police, but they offered no resistance

A Double Header Eclipse.

The eclipse predicted for last Sunday
came off as scheduled and added an
encore 10 the shape second eclipse
about an hour after the first passed of.
The shadow first touched the suns
edge at about ESQ, going to two. thirds
total at 9:45 and diminishing TO N:3O,
when it vanished. Most OF the natives
then threw away their smoked glasses,
supposing the occurrence was over, but
a few curious ones who were looking
for traces Of the eclipse after one O'clock
discerned the shadow again on the sun.
They were booted by the wise ones, who
were certain that nothing of the kind
could have happened, but reports Of
the eclipse from other points report the
same phenomenon at the same hour.
So we must accept the hitherto un.
heard of fact Of two solar eclipses in
one day The fact that they were both
only "annular". or partial eclipses
doesn't detract in the least from the
wonder OF the occurrence.
