70 Mrs BiXby, Boston, Mass:
Dear Madam-I have been shown in
the files of the War Department a
statement of the adjutant general of
Massachusetts that you are the
mother Of five sons who have died glo-
liously on the field Of battle. | feel
how weak and frui1less must be any
word of mine which should attempt to
hcguile YOU from the grief of a loss so
OverWhe lining. But | cannot refrain
from rendering you the consolation
that may be found in the thanks of
the republic that they died to save. I
pray that our Heavenly Father may
assuag" the anguish of your bereave-
ment, and leave you only the cherished
memory of the loved and lost, and the
solemn pride that must be yours to
have laid 50 costly sacrifice upon the
altar of freedom.
Yours very sincerely and respectfully
A. LINCOLN.
This letter was written, be it remcm-
bcred. during the stress and strain Of
the final campaign in Virginia, not at
the solicitation of the woman herself
or any of her trends, but because the
sacrifice she had made mad come to his
attention and because his great heart
volunteered these few effective words
Of grief and gratitude. How simple
and how beautiful they are. President
Roosevelt has recently called attention
to this episode in Lincoln's life and
says that the letter is one of those e:l
alnples of Lncoln's humanity that ZAP

There was strong pres sure brought to bear on the board of supervisors of this county for local ranger force under the provision of the new law. but after considering the rlatter on several occasions the requ sst of the citizens were denied. This is evidence of the fact that, so far as the supervisors of this county are concerned, they do not regard rangers as a necessary part of the county government.

It is to be hoped that the appoint ment of Judge Mills to be governor of New Mexico will quiet the repub- lican political turbulence so that it will not further endanger statehood. While Arizona is in no way respon- sible for the conditions in New Mex ico, still our people cannot hope for statehood until there is consent to admit New Mexico also. The failure 0f the statehood bill last winter was one hundred feet higher in the trend attributed to conditions in New Mex leo which had been reported because of a political row in the republican party.

SUITS ATTRACT MUCH ATTENTION.

The filing of the suits by the Unit ed States attorney against the pat ents which have been issued for a large area in the Warren mining die trict has attracted much attention in that district. The suits put in ieop- ardy the title of the Warren Realty company and a number of other claims. Should these suits result in the cancellation of the patents now held for the property that result would throw doubt on the title to a vast amount of mineral land in Ari- zona and other western states which has been taken in good faith and on which vast sums of money have been honestly expended in development work. We understand that govern ment agents have been on the disput- ed ground and made examination as a basis for the suits filed. Naturally, the result of this litigation will be watched with interest.

COURT CONNECTS OFFICIALS IF
 GAMBLING

PRESCOTT. Nov 27.-Superyisot Barney smith of Yavapai county and Councilman Belcher of Prescott were convicted here today of violating the gambling law of 1907. The convic- ton created 8 tremendous sensation owing to the prominence of the men and the issue involved. Sentence will be passed on the two men on Mon day. It is probable that an appeal will be taken from today's verdict. The conviction of Smith and BeI- cher is the hardest blow yet struck against the recent attempts to re-es- tablish gambling on some sort of a basis in this territory In Prescott and in several other cities of the ter ritory the gamblers opened up secret ly sr openly, with poker, faro, roulette black jack and crap games. The gamblers in Prescott were the bold est of the lot and in some instances played openly.
 When the grand jury Of Yavapai county met there was no ~backing iup" or passing the buck on the sit uatien. After hearing the evidence they were convinced that gambling was going on contrary to law As 9 result Barney Smith, chairman of the board of supervisors of Yavapai county, City Councilman Belcher, the acting mayor of Prescott; Bob Birch, w. R. Stone and Fred Merritt were indicted
 By agreement with the others, Mer- Iritt,entered a plea of guilty when his case came up so as to learn what the sentence would be. Judge Doe fined him s1oO. gave him scorcbing from the bench and said that in the future any violations of the gambling law would result in a heavy cash penalty and jail sentence to boot
 The others involved sin the cases then began desperate legal fight which eliminated today in the con, viction of Smith and Belcher.
 Gambling has been given 3 death blow in northern Arizona and not even a back room joint is being oper. ated in Prescott today.
