pendent and trust telephone com

something that they can agree on. II
is Delegate Goodness bill to compel

name OF 1.-THE business interests
They demanded that they be heard.
and to give them a chance to present
their argument the bill was recon-

Bell and independent men are united
and fighting side by side which

year of our Lord. A. C. Davis. of

1t is his first try at lesislatins. and
the prospects of a fight have given

bill and likely TO strike the majority
of the legislators that way.

 penned by mortal hand, the first chap ter of Johns gospel. The tenth to the thirteenth verses read: "He was in the world and the world was made by Him and the world knew him not. He came unto his own and his own received him not. But to as many as received Him to them gave He power to become tho sons of God, even to them that believe on His name, which were born, not of the blood, nor of the flesh, nor of the will of man but of God
 The topic I wish to discuss with you tonight is drawn from these sublimely pathetic words. It is the passion of Christ for lost world as shown by the lonesomeness of His earth life. He came to the world which He had made and the people whom he had created in
 
 Him not and His own people spit in his face and crucified Him. To be home. sick and alone is one of the worst feel ings that can come to mortal man, but to be alone in the midst of your own home and persecuted and slain by your own loved ones would be pathos beyond human power to endure or even think. But that is what Christ endured for every sinner on earth, when there was no eye to pity and no arm to save. 'He trod the wine press of the wrath of GoG ALONE.n
 I am sure that if could make every sinner to see the passion and compas. sion of His earth life and lonesomeness none would neglect Him and live in sin another day "But as many as receved Him to them gave He power to become sons of God.'
 He lived an orphan on earth, died alone on the cross that we might be adopted into the family of God. Live in the fellowship of saints on earth and inherit the glory of sons and daugh- ters of the Most High in Heaven. To reject Him in time is to orphan our selves for eternity. To stand before the throne of God without a FRIEND, and without an ADVOCATE, ,---Alone--- alone, is the doom of every man who does not enthrone Jesus Christ in his soul in this earth life. Hoobs, the in fidel philosopher, facing that fact in his last moments said, eff had the whole world to dispose of I would give it to live one hour. l"
 Alfred Bookman, who had enthroned Christ in life said in death, "I am sweeping through the gates, washed in the blood of the Lamb. ''

AL|EN|STS TESTIFY AS ID SANITY
 0F HANS
HYPOTHETICAL QUESTION IS AN SEVERED BY EXPERT IN
 INSANITY

FLUSHING, January 8.-The trial of Thornton J. Hains passed on today to stage frequent in homicide cases where testimony is developed from med ical experts and alienists. Hain 's at torneys introduced Dr. Samuel Manson, an alienist, who, after listening to a hypothetical question regarding Hains sanity. declared that on August l5, when Captain Hains shot William E. Annis, he was suffering from impulsive insanity.
 The long cross-examination of Thorn ton J. Hains was concluded at the morn ing session and the defense began the presentation of expert testimony to prove the insanity of Captain Hains.
 The prison physician was not per mitted to tell his opinion of Captain Hains' sanity, and it looked as if the defense would be unable to get an alienist s testimony before tho jury. Dr. Manson said he had not treated Captain Hains as his patient, but had simply observed him. Then hypothetical question which required an hour and fifteen minutes was read to the alienist.
 Dr. Manson stated that Hains suf fered melancholia following the shoot ing, and this mental condition showed improvement. Before objection could be entertained to the interrogation, the alienist stated that Captain Hains was sane when he last saw him.

GARFIELD REPORTS IN FAVOR 0F
 STATEHOOD
SECRETARY or THE INTERIOR SAYS IMPROVED SHOWING IN TERRITORY MAKES DEMAND or ARIZONA JUSTIFIED.

WASHINGTON, D. C., January s. Secretary of the Interior James R. Gar field favors statehood for Arizona, ac- cording to his annual report, which has just been made public. The report GOV CTS a wide field. Concerning affairs in Arizona the secretary says:
 Conditions in Arizona are steadily i'm proving. The population is now esti- mated at 100000, an increase of 15,000 during the year.
 The organization and use of the rangers has been most satisfactory in the enforcement of law and order.
 The annual school census gives 34,299 as the number of children of school age G to 2l years) in the territory. The total number of children enrolled in the schools is shown to be 28,S36. This would indicate apparently that nearly 5000 children fail to attend school, but it is explained that most pupils finish school at the age of IS, although they are enumerated in the school census until they are 21.
 Practically all. of the children who attend no school are of Mexican par entage. To remedy the evil of non-at- tendance at school the legislature has enacted law which makes attendance compulsory, under severe penalties for parents and guardians. There are 30l school districts, employing 645 teachers, 109 men and 536 women. The average monthly salary paid men teachers was $99.50; for women it was $75.06.
 Notwithstanding the reduction in the production of copper, the mining oper- ations in the territory show an increase over last year, and the agricultural pos abilities have been greatly increased by the development of irrigation pro, jects, experiments in dry farming, and the introduction of new grasses on the open ranges.
 In view of the improved showing made in all directions, the demand of the people for statehood is fully jnsti fled.
