was started with the Southern Pacific. The Southern Pacific claimed the coun- | try east of Phoenix as its own territory , and charged the Santa Fe with violat-
 ing its agreement to keep out of the
 southern part of Arizona.
 When testifying before Interstate
 Commerce Commission Examiner Lyon at the freight rate hearing in March, Colonel Epes Randolph testified that
 the Southern Pacific purchased the Ari-
 zona Eastern in order to obtain the Gila canyon. The truth is that the Santa F'e never had any intention of going through that canyon. It had been surveyed, but the engineers finally de- cided that the route was Tot good
 one. The Santa Fe incorporated two
 companies, one to build a railroad from
 Phoenix to San Carlos, through the can yon, and the other to construct rail
 road from Winkelman to Benson,
 through the San Pedro valley, and con
 meeting with the Fl Paso & Southwest. ern. Every effort was made to deceive the Southern Pacific as to the real in-
 tentions of the Santa Fe. The road from Winkelman to Benson was to be built, but the link between Winkelman and San Carlos was not to be construct ed.
 About the time the two big railroad companies began to quarrel about their rights through the territory east of Phoenix, their interests clashed in Cali fornia. The Santa Fe had acquired little railroad running out of Eureka, down into the timber belt. It was try. ing to get hold of the California & Northwestern, another little road, run ming in northerly direction from San Francisco. It was their intention to connect the two lines. But the South ern Pacific appeared on the scene about the same time and began to negotiate for the San Francisco & Northwestern. A merry little fight was on, for the Southern Pacific threatened to tap the timber belt, and the Santa Fe wanted the numbering country for itself
 Finally, compromise was effected. The Santa Fe agreed to sell the Ari- zona Eastern, provided the Southern Pacific would let it have half interest in the San Francisco & Northwestern. The agreement was hedged with more conditions than probably any other deal ever consummated in the west. The completion of the Arizona Eastern by January 1, 1910, was almost certainly ono of them.

DEMOCRATS WHO ARE REPUB-
IJCANS

New Orleans States: 1t is announced
that the Democrat to be appointed by
Mr. Taft as Secretary of War is Judge
J. NJ. Dickinson of Tennessee, who for
many years has served as the general
counsel Of the Illinois Central railroad.
But it seems that Judge Dickinson IS
one Of the breed of so-called Democrats
who for long time have been voting
the Republican ticket and supporting
Republican policies There are num-
Der of these white blackbirds. SO to
speak. in the South, but it is a mis-
manner to call them Democrats. because
they are not recognized as such by the
Southern Democracy Therefore while
Judge Dickinson may be free to repre-
sent Republicanism and the Illinois
Central Railroad in the Cabinet OF Pres
ident Taft. the fact will be made clear
that he is not there as representative
of the Democratic party.
In New York the law requires the ap-
Il
of the State Highway Commission and
few days ago Governor Hughes named
as the Democratic member gentleman
who voted for TAFT i'll the last election
and who has been voting the Republican
ticket for many years. As a result Of the
influence of the Democrats in the Legis-
lateure the appointment was rejected,
and the so-called independent newspa-
pers expressed much Imagination there
at. But Democrats are quite as human
as Republicans. and it was natural for
them to object to the position assigned
to their party being filled by man who
considers himself too good to vote the
Democratic ticket, though not too good
to hold office in the name Of the Demo-
cratic party.
The term Tai, Democrat is really
something more than a misnomer. 1t is
a lie and it is we'll for men III the South
and III the North who attempt to train
and deal with both political parties un-
der this name to learn the fact They
must know. and will be made to know.
that they can not lead the Democratic
party and occupy offices i'll its name
while they have place in the councils
Of the Republican party and vote its
tickets. This sort of humbug and
hypocrisy is both too bald and disgust
ing to be tolerated by manly men any

WATSON CONVICTED
He Was Found Guilty of Violation OF
the Prohibition Law

In the City Court Monday w. NJ.
Watson was tried before Judge Full
love and convicted on two charges Of
selling liquor without a license. In
each case he was fined $500, equal to
$500, and to thirty days on the road.
These penalties are divided between the
city and State
The charge against Watson and sus-
tanned by proof is selling whiskey in his
place of business on February 8 and 9.
Watson has been conducting the hotel
near the Union Depot. He had been
under surveillance for several weeks,
but he was finally trapped. His scheme
was to rent rooms at fixed prices. 1t
was understood by boozers that will, the
room there was the privilege of a bot
tie, pint or quart, guaged by the price.
To say the least, these charges against
Watson were surprising to his friends.
Watson's explanations failed to explain.
Against him was the proof of a eertifl-
cate Of government license issued on
February of this year, under which he
could sell booze without danger of ar
rest from the Federal authorities.
Why should man. as Watson, who
has borne good reputation. deliber-
ately engage in such traffic, is beyond
the understanding OF rational men.
The judgment of the court, which
may seem harsh or severe. is justified.
if it be intended to maintain the law
from ridicule and contempt. 1t is not
the fine which is awe-inspiring to the
would-bc law-breaker. but the Jail and
the public road.
In this case Hon 3. H. Liclltensteln
ably represented Watson, while J.. NJ =.
Foster, district attorney, appeared for
the State. The officers who worked up
this case are Detective T. d. Price and
Patrolman c. F. Johnson.

FORAKER AND ROOT, CORPORA
TON LAWYERS.

New Orleans States: At the present
time the Republican and independent
newspapers of the North are rejoicing
over the transfer of Elihu Root from
the Cabinet to the Senate, and laudlng
him ac patriot of the highest and no
blest type But the fact that the same
class of newspapers continue to lambast
Senator Foraker and are apparently de-
termined to cast him into outer darkness
on the ground that he is a corporation
lawyer, is somewhat shocking to the
American sense of justice and fair play
There is no man in the country who
has longer or perhaps more unscrupu-
lous record as a trust lawyer than Elihu
Root. Senator Foraker's service to the
corporations pales into insign1tlcance
compared to that OF Root who for more
than twent years has been on the pay
roll of some of the most powerful trusts
domiciled in New York, and whose fer
tile brain prepared the plans under
WHICH g. nuIlDcl VI tIlC SiSdtSoA ANos' Va
financial buccaneers this country has
ever known were successfully accom-
plished.
All things considered, j is quite abb
surd as we'll as contemplate for the
guardians of public morals to continue
to smite Senator Foraker when he IS
| down. and hail Root as the dellverer OF
the people from the hands of the trust
| magnates and looters. The truth is. his
| greatest achievements in professiona
and political life have been the selling
out of the people, and to that purpose
he may be depended on to devote HIM
self when he takes his seat III the Sen
ate. Therefore to denounce Foraker
while praising Root is to strain at
gnat and swallow camel.

WORSHIP NOT MAN, BUT GOD

But this lesson seems never to have

sons and daughters OF eartll-no, not

this oft repeated sentence in the De
claration of Independence many ndlvld-
uals and organizations write and pro-
claim the greatness of men who have
by many means been placed in positions
OF prominence and power. following the
examples OF the ignorant of ancient
times when Alexander the murderer
was called 'great" Of the entfusl-
asts Of modern times who regard Napo-
leon the tyrant as patriot-when it has
been well written that ''he knew no emo
ton but interest"
It is but too often that we hear and
see Jefferson and Jackson" quoted as
the patron saints" of Democracy, by
latter day politicians who preach but not
practice the doctrines of these successful
politicians of the early years of our Re-
public. Why do they refer to 'Jeffer-
son and Jackson if not for the reason
that they hope to find and control
|hero-worshipping audience?
Of course the Republicans too have
their patron saints with whom to 4p-
| peal to their hero-worshipping follow
ers when seeking place and power.
Without discussing the American
weakness OF making military heroe:
