The Passing of the Old Guard.

The gradual break in the ranks of the pioneer Cochise county bar, is as observable, as it is regrettable. Over taken, by age and physical causes, one by one, the gray haired veterans, succumb to the inevitable. A m ore splendid aggregation of from tier spirits never blessed the history of Arizona than the pioneer Cochise county bar, the tombstone bar.
 The gleam of professional inspiration in their magnif cent eyes, the ring of youth and vigor and confidence and Integrity ln their voices. now, all grown old; their steps growing slower, their hair growing winter, their dear old hearts beating more slowly. Yes, the old guard is gradual ly passing away and a new generation otprofessional men | are on hand to take their places.
 Let us pause to reflect, that the golden ring will never again be reproduced in the halls of justice in Tombstone. such as these magnificent souls put up in the sos, in the days of Geronimo, in the days when Tombstone was a seeth- ing sea of prosperity, and the only regret is that many of them may not live to see the rich rehabilitation of dear old Tombstone.
 "The Old Guard here is to them, and if the Lord loves them as well as we do they are dead safe no matter upon what bourne their final route may lay.

RATTLED THE EDITOR
Runaway Team Plays Havoc With the
 Editors Thinking Machine.

This morning. just after the PRos PECroR force had assembled for the purpose of moulding the public mind
 for the purpose ol building earth works against the enemies of our na- tionai candidate, and just as We were expecting s telegram of cougrstula- tion from Mir Bryan in view of our attitude on the presidential election ; just as we had taken 6 long ches, made bullseye on the cuspidOr and settled down to a brand of righteous contemplation which was calculated to affect all future generations, the horses belonging to Wm. Cosan, an old and respected citizen, got into s misunderstanding and there was a abrupt stop in front of our office, with the result ths: our front columns were shivered, our intellectual equa- nimity disturbed, and only the saving grace of l4-inch telegraph pole saved eur sauctum from wreck and disaster
 We had just evolved an idea fol facilitating the completion of the Pan ana canal. We had succeeded in rounding out solution of the tsriff question which could admit of no question nor equivocation. We had completed a plan for the everlasting settlement of labor difficulties; we had struck on happy scheme which would render single statehood a cinch atlthe present session of congress; we had made mighty strides in the direction Of steering the ship of state from the rocks of embarrassment and disaster, when those horses suddenly rose up on their hind legs and knocked every idea we had into the middle of October.

Lesson BROUGHT Home,

Old Jacob Grimes Vas an Illinois
farmer, and one summer his nephew
from Chicago came to work on the
farm for him. Jacob told the boy that
the first principle of farming was to
use uD and wear out the old things
first.
Don't touch this years fodder" he
would say, till last years has been
consumed. Don't use the new harness
while the old holds out. The new red
cart runs better, but we will keep it
in the barn till the old gray one breaks
down"
Jacob sounded this principle of his
till the boy got tired of it. He would
get especially tired when he would be
Obliged to eat last weeks bread and so
forth, according to the principle.
Jacob, one stormy night, said to his
nephew:
William. I've got to go to the vii
lage. Fetch up and harness one OF the
horses from the four-acre field"
Which shall l fetch?" said William,
"the old horse or the young one?"
THE old one, of course?" said Jacob.
always wear the old ones out first,
you know"
William paused in drawing on his
rubber boots.
'In that case. uncle" he said. hadn't
you better go and fetch the horse?"

National Monument in Colorado.

Washington. = President Roosevelt
has signed proclamation creating the
Wheeler national monument in Rio
Grande national forest, Colorado. The
region set aside contains wide canons,
broken ridges, pinnacles and buttes.
forming such striking and varied
scenes it will be much visited by tour
lists when made accessible by road or
trail. Historical interest attaches to
the region, as it is believed the i'll
fated expedition of John c. Fremont
was overtaken by disaster in this vi
cinity and forced to turn back. Skele'
tons of mules, bits of harness and

give credence to the belief. Wagon

SENATOR KNOX
HEADS CABINET
STATESMAN FROM PENNsYLvAN.
IA CALLED BY TAFT TO BE
SECRETARY OF STATE.
ACCEPTS THE OFFICE
ANNOUNCEMENT MADE BY PRESL
DENT-ELEcT AT AUGUSTA,
GEORGIA.

Augusta, Ga. President-elect
Taft Friday announced the ap-
pointment of United States Sen
ator Philander C. Knox Of Penn
sylvania, as secretary OF state IN
his cabinet. The announcement fol-
lowed the receipt by Mr.. Taft of tel
egram conveying the information from
Mr.. Knox that he would accept the pre-
miership of the Taft Cabinet Mr.. Taft
without delay announced that the mat
ter was settled. He said the offer
was made to Mr.. Knox the previous
Sunday in New York and that since
the offer he had not heard from MI
Knox until Fridays telegram.
Senator Knoxs first appearance as
public figure was when he entered
the cabinet of William Mckinley as
attorney general in 1901. He was con-
tinued in the office by President Roose-
welt and served until he resigned In
1904 to accept the appointment of SEN
ator from Pennsylvania.
Senator Knox, while attorney gen.
eral, established high record for his
relentless prosecution of so-called
trusts. One of his important victories
was the suit against the Northern Sc
curities Company. organized to take
over the capital stock of the Northern
Pacific and Great Northern railroads.
The government won its case in the
United States court.
Under the old order OF things the
defendants could have appealed and
postponed final hearing indefinitely.
Mr.. Knox prepared for such conun-
gency and secured the passage
through Congress of an act allowing
but sixty days in which to take an ap-
peal to the United States Supreme
Court, and also providing that in cases
of this character the hearing should
be expedited and decision speedily
reached.
Mr.. Knox also waged notable fight
against the so-called beef trust. He
filed an action against seven OF the
beef corporations in 1902, charging the
defendants with being in conspiracy
in restraint of trade.
Judge Grosscup of Chicago issued an
injunction against the defendants and
the injunction was later made perma-
nent. In an appeal taken to the United
States Supreme Court, the government
was sustained and the unlawful conf
bination dissolved. Soon afterward Mr.
Knox won suits against fourteen rail-
road corporations charging them with
combination In restraint of trade.
The Panama canal purchase for S4o,-
100000, recently the subject of a mes
sage from the President, was actually
carried through by the then attorney
general, p. C. Knox" to use the Presi-
dents own language.
Mr.. Knox was appointed to the Sen
ate by Governor Pennypacker June lO,
1904, to fill the vacancy caused by the
death of NJ. S. Quay He afterward was
elected for full term, which would
expire March 4 1911.
