A WISE PERSON.
You've met the chap I have in mind,
He knows 1t all.
Though many stupid are and blind,
He knows it all.
No matter what the theme you choose,
On that he has decided views
And arguments you can't refuse
He knows it all.
His brow is grave, his manner calm.
He knows it all;
He makes mistakes without a qualm.
He knows ii all.
He'll say that Bacon was Shakespeare,
That fish is fowl and fog Is clear
And sauerkraut to Spain is dear
He knows it all.
He seldom takes the time to read,
He knows it all;
The help of books he doesn't need
Who knows it all.
He'll say them" where he should say
those"
That Bruce was one of Caesars foes
And Homer's forte was writing prose
He knows it all.

lndisputabIe Evidence.

Copyright, 1909. by American Press Asso-
 ciation.
 The case of Peter Lusher was called The judge, having asked him if he had employed counsel and receiving the re- ply that he had not, appointed q recent graduate of an eastern law school to defend him.
 Lusher, a cowboy, was charged with having fired shot at the conductor or freight train with intent to xiii. me conductor had put him off the .ralh' passengers not being carried on freight trains. While the conductor was climbing back on to car Lusher ,red the shot. A brakeman came up behind him and held him till other em- ployees of the road gathered round, .ook him in charge and at the next town turned him over to the police.
 another cowboy, Shattuck. pal of --uSner' was on a rear car of the same train. He testified that he and nusher were travelling together; that sney were accustomed to travel on .,eisht trains; that on such occasions .ne! usually separated in order to at uact less attention, and that if one were put off a train the other fired snot rom his revolver as signal of tue tue lact to the other, who then left the m"in' Lusher. backed by this testi- tony' claimed that instead of shoot hn s with intent to injure the conductor t e was merely giving the usual signal Fear cars.
 t,a here was no one in court, including oo prisoner's counsel, who did not
 'uer this plea very farfetched.
The Prescott daily news., 1909-02-05

By this time it began to look as if, mad Lusher been vindictive toward the conductor, he could have cut off an ear, darkened an eye or put a ball through the center of his heart with out half trying. Some one suggested as much. but Lusher declared that if he was to be vindicated he wanted the vindication to be satisfactory and pro- ceeded with the exhibition. Borrow ing hunting watch from a juryman, he opened the case, which was highly polished and would serve for a re- Hector. Pointing to a break in the bark of tree about two inches in di- ameter, he walked twenty paces from 1t and, still keeping his back toward It. caught the targets reflection in the watch case, fired over his shoulder and put a bullet in the improvised mark.
 At this the spectators cried, "Acquit him." The judge ordered the jury back into the courtroom, and as they were proceeding thither the prisoner cut hole in each of their hats with out scratching a head.
 You quit that" cried the foreman angrily, "or you'll get ten years!'
 When court was resumed and the jury had been charged the foreman spoke few words to the jury in low tone, then arose and said:
 "Your honor, the jury finds that the defendant is not guilty of attempting to kill the plaintiff. Furthermore, if he had intended to kill the plaintiff he could have shot off his fingers and toes separately, chipping off pieces of him till there was nothing left but his heart to keep on beating. Further more, 1t wouldn't be safe to convict him unless he's unarmed and no weap- on within ten miles, for he could kill every mothers son of us before we could get him under"
 '"The prisoner is discharged" said the judge, following the verdict with remarkable activity, and, stepping down from the bench, he took the pre- caution to grasp the cowboys hand fervently that he might make peace with him before he had a chance to shoot Every man in the courtroom insured his own safety by following the judges example. Last of all came the conductor, who told the acquitted man that whenever he and his friend wished to ride on his train to step light into the caboose and if he would notify him sumptuous lunch would be provided. Then Lusher walked out of the courtroom a conquering hero.

The Prescott daily news., 1909-02-05

The case looked bad for Lusher, for if convicted of trying to kill the con ductor he could not hope for less sentence than five years at hard labor in the penitentiary. When the jury was about to retire the prisoner said to the judge:
 "Your honor, does any one yere think that I've been goin' around with two revolvers at my hips for ten years for nothin'. Dye suppose 1 couldn't hit the mans body if I wanted to? All l ask is for the court to be adjourned outside and I'll show what tomfoolery this yere trial is."
 There was something so convincing in this argument that the judge ad- journed the court, and judge, attor- neys. jury and spectators, lighting ci- gars, went out into the courthouse yard to find out why the cowboy missed the conductor.
 The prisoners pal, Shattuck, consent ed to be shot at. Lusher borrowed a quarter from the judge, inserting It's lower edge between his friends thumb and forefnger, stood off twenty paces and sent the coin spinning in the air without bringing drop of blood to Shattuck's fingers. The coin happened to fall at the feet of the judge, who picked it up and, noticing its battered appearance, remarked audibly:
 By thunder!'
 Lusher next procured a thread ana, tying walnut to one end or IT. put the other end in Shattuck's hand, who held the nut suspended. Lusher walk ed away from his mark, counting forty paces, turned and before the specta- tors realized that he had raised his pistol cracked the nut.
 There were more exclamations. Lush- CT then tied stone to the thread and from the same distance as he had cracked the nut cut the thread at the middle.

THE INSPECTION OF PUBLIC
 OFFICES

Judge Kent in charging the grand extinction by the late legislature of the office of public examiner, thus throwing back upon the grand jury the important duty of inspecting" the public offices, the performance of which, time out of mind, has all ways been regarded even by grand jurymen themselves as something of farce.
 We recall that a few years ago the final report of a grand jury in- cluded the report of a committee which had inspected the office of the county treasurer and had found that the books were kept in a work manlike manner"
 Never in the history of the world, since this duty was imposed upon grand jury. has that body discov- cred any public iniquity which had not already become more or less of a public scandal The grand jury has discovered nothing though now and then it has been the means of disclosure of things that could be no longer concealed.
 There are several reasons why the grand jury can not make a proper inspection of public offices In the first place it has not the time, and in the next place, under the system of choosing grand juries, which the law provides, the chances are always many times to one that the body will not contain a single man cap able of making an inspection worthy of the name.
 Successive grand juries had for years examined the county offices of the territory without unearthing any abuses that were not already known to exist. Within six months after

ONE TELEPHONE BETTER THAN
 TWO.

The Republican has hitherto de- fined its attitude toward the propo- sition for another telephone fran chise to be voted on today. It does not believe that a dual system is a good one. There are some services which are all the better for competi- tion, but it is obvious that if A is a patron of one system and B of another they each for purposes of communicating with each other would be without any service at all. Each would have to bear the expense and annoyance of two systems. What is true of A and B would of course be true of every telephone user.
 We have no other objection to the granting of another franchise than this. We have no interest in the welfare of the existing system.
 Though two systems might result in a lowering of rates, provided there was no subsequent absorption" or combination. the aggregate of the re duced rates would certainly be higher than the present single rate and we would be saddled with the annoy ance
 There can be only two causes of complaint against any telephone sys- tenn. Its rates may be exorbitant or its service may be bad We have heard of little complaint of the first delinquency but a great deal of the latter. but We are pleased to state that the service has of late been greatly improved and we are prom ised by the management that there is to be further improvement until the system has been brought thor has explained the bad character of its service in the past; that the city out grew it. Whether or not the com pany could not keep up with the city or merely did not try, is of no consequence, for it is trying now and announces that it purposes to spend all the money necessary to give Phoe- nix a service second to none.
 We think it will be profitable to accept this promise for there is a way to compel its fulfilment. If the com pany lags behind the city again or if it should appear that its rates are un- reasonable there is always the ex- pedient of a franchise election. If one should be called because the company had failed of its promises, it would probably carry; there would be few to suggest that it be given another chance. So pronounced would the sentiment be that the new and rival company would start off with much better chances of becoming the sole occupant of a field in which there is always room for only one.
