THE AN WHO GAVE THE LIE
The Following Letter Addressed to th' Arizona Democrat is Self-Ex'
 planatory

August 2G. 1909. Editor Arizona Democrat,
 Phoenix, Arizona.
 Sir-I note in your issue of August 18th an editorial paragraph in which the statement is made that Ralph Cameron. at a session of the 1907 leg islature. rose up in the galleries and vociferously denounced the statement made by a man privileged to the floor, as a lie"
 Your information in this connection is grossly in error. You do MT. Cam eron great wrong. I was in attend ance at every session, morning. after noon and evening. of the assembly, 1907 legislature, and know that an in cident such as described was not par ticipated in by Mir. Cameron. No doubt your informant is confused by the in cident which occurred on the after noon the Cameron trial bill passed the house. the governors veto not with standing. The incident occurred about 80 o'clock D. m. J. w. Cren- shaw, member from MaricOpa cOun- ty, was reading the names signed to a petition and teiegrams from Coconino county residents. MT. Henry Ashurst, of Flagstaff who had the floor privil- eges, asked MT. Crenshaw to see the documents he was reading. Ashurst then, after looking over the telegrams and petitions, said the signatures were fraudulently secured. Seated in the gallery. immediately above the en- trance to the floor of the house. was Jesse Gregg, a member of the Coco nino county board. and when Mir. As hurst made his statement Gregg rose up and characterized the same as a lie. Out of justice to NIT. Cameron. l think correction should be made.
 Yours respectfully,
 NED CREIGHTON.

 A great deal of credit for the order liness of these arrangements is due to our grammar school board, consist ing of A. w.. Cosner. Thomas R. Dimes and Dr. B. B. Moeur.
 With Principal Sullivan in the eighth grade, Charles Alexander in the seventh grade and Miss Nell Mo Neil in the sixth grade, and Miss Ina McComas in the third grade as new teachers, and the remainder of the factulty the same as last year in the others. conditions bid fair to give us good school.

said q musician. Its pity. He was
q quaint type.
Most of my blowers were simple
minded old chaps who firmly believed
they must suit their blowing to the
music. In soft, light passages they
blew soft and light. When the crescen-
dos thundered forth they worked fran
dcally. blowing with all their might
and main.
"Often q facetious reporter on the
local paper would refer to the excel
lent blowing Of the Organist's assist
ant, Mr.. Bellows Then the blower in
his vanity would develop oil the affec-
tations Of a Paderewski or a Sousa.
Now he'd blow delicately. a dreamy
smile on his lips. his eyes half closed.
The music would change to u march.
and he'd stamp his foot In time. while

The independence in politics that
achieves results, that benefits the peo-
pie and the country, that remedies
evils and rebukes false leaders, is that
which transfers the balance of voting
power from one of the great parties to
the other, and 50 diminishes one and
augments the other that control and
authority are shifted. The independ-
ents who left the republican party to
vote for Mr.. Cleveland in 1884, and
those who rejected Bryan and made
Mr.. Mckinley president in 1896 really
wrought their will upon the politics
and upon the policies Of the nation>
That kind of independence in politics
is effective. Independence on the
scatteration plan is q nuisance without
visible mitigation.-New York Times.

Seventeen Year I oeusts.

The seventeen year locusts are some
times called Pharaoh's .locusts becauss
they make a sound that resembles tho
repeating over and over Of that historic
name. The notes or songs are not what
might be termed vocal. as they are pro.
duced by the rapid vibrations Of two
very thin films that cover q small cav.
ity at the base of the abdomen. In
some localities the sound produced is
somewhat different from that heard In
other sections. Along streams. espc-
cially along the Ohio river. the notes
are more bass. while on the highlands
and especially in the mountain regions
the sounds produced are more shrill.-

AN IMPORTANT DISCOVERY.

AN IMPORTANT DISCOVERY.
Rabbi ]. Leonard Levy, of Pitts
burg, if all that is told of him be true,
bids fair to become q benefactor to the
race. His people built a S40O, 900
synagogue in Pittsburg, and when it
was completed, learned that the acous.
tics were 80 bad that little could be
heard but echoes. Various expert
meats were tried to relieve the diff
Guilty, and in despair it was proposed
to tear the building down and con.
struct another. Rabbi Levy was in
Europe at the time, and wired them
to do nothing until he returned.
When he did, he treated the walls with
preparation, known only to himself,
which absorbed the surplus sound, and
his opening address was heard per-
fectly.
Think what it means; a preparation
to absorb surplus sounds. Perhaps
the rabbits brief description is more
sweeping than he intended, but if not,
he is leading Edison As an inventor, or
Peary as q discoverer.
To absorb surplus sounds, it certain

Let cities be painted with this gum

A Sioux City preacher, in a prayer
delivered at a Thanksgiving service,
found fault with God for permitting
old Joe Cannon to live. Another
preacher, at Scranton, Pa, said: mo
effective temperance laws can be passed
while Joe Cannon remains speaker of
the house." The fact appears to be
lost sight of that Joe Cannon is gen.
tleman, q protesting christian and q
man Of temperate habits. Possibly
Joe Cannon is also responsible for the

appeared with a sprig Of green in her
mouth. She thrust the green in
through the gilt bars. Then, singing
q sweet. sad song, she flew away.
And she never came back. Her or

which was nearly consumed, was a
