A FUNERAL SEASON
But for the Gayety Introduced by MT.
 Peterson.

Aside from the furore occasioned by Mir. Peterson's deathlike grip on the segregation bill,' the house proceedings in the morning were uninteresting and almost tame. The dull monotony was relieved from time to time by futile attempts at>adjournment.
 The DeSouza bill, authorizing the employment of stenographers in grand jury rooms, was passed.
 Mir HOgwoods bill, for the extension of the powers of city councils in order ing improvements. was indefinitely postponed, as its twin sister bill of MT. Finley had passed both houses the day before.
 MT Goodrich's bill, for the protec- tion of stockholders in mining corpo- rations by throwing restrictions upon the power of directors, was laid upon the table
 The Weedin county examiner bill was passed under a suspension of the rules: also MT Morton's bill authoriz- ing the board of control to reconvey the territorial prison site to the town of Yuma.
 The latter part of the morning ses- sion was spent in the committee of the whole and at o'clock a recess was taken until 2:3O.
 In the afternoon the committee of the whole took under consideration Mir. Merrilrs bill, No. 67, fixing the salaries of constables and justices of the peace, as follows: Constables to retain fees received in criminal cases to the amount of $500 a quarter, and after that for the quarter 8 1-3 per cent of the remainder of fees for that quarter; justices, to retain fees to the amount Of S200 and after that one third of the remainder of the fees for the quarter. The only contest was over the time when the bill should be- come effective.
 Originally the bill was drawn to be- come effective at once. The judiciary committee had amended it making it so on January l, 1911, on the ground that an early date would be unjust to incumbents. It was finally agreed that the bill should take effect on June 30 this year. In that form it was recom mended and subsequently, passed by vote Of Is to 8.
 MT. Duffey's bill segregating the of fees of county school superintendent and probate judge in counties of the second. third, fourth. fifth and sixth classes was taken up and passed.
 The house made one more vain ef- fort in the afternoon to jar Mir. Peter son loose from the Hightower bill and. failing in that, gave itself up to the desuItory transaction o. business. The l,F R.. faf rsfFr councils in the matter of ordering mu- nicipal Improvements, such as grading. street paving and sidewalk construc-

AN ANXIOUS DAY.
The Council Was Kept in State of
 Suspense.

The couucn session was spotted by recesses between which a considerable volume of business was hurried through. After each spurt the council sat at recess with it's ears cooked for information from the house.
 MT. O'NeilTs bill to prevent the spread of noxious weeds, and to punish the culturists of Johnson grass and nut grass, was passed.
 Other bills were passed as follows:
 MT DeSouza's house bill, enlarging the powers of the district courts in dealing with delinquent children and authorizing the commissioner to act in the absence of the court.
 MT. HOgwood's bill for the protec- tion of game birds, as slightly amended in the council.
 The house bill in relation to the sale of commodities in bulk, requiring the advertising of stocks of merchandise before sale. in order that the creditors may not be defrauded.
 Mir Weedip's county examiner bill, as it was amended in the whole com mittee the afternoon before.
 MT. McCormick's bill, authorizing the employment of more than one deputy county recorder in all classes of coun- ties.
 Mr. Hogwood's bill requiring the publication of proceedings of supervis- ors. This bill is designed to correct the ambiguity of the present law.
 MT. Days bill for the punishment of those who neglect to procure licenses. This bill amends the present law by providing that civil proceedings may be begun against delinquents for the collection of the license.
 MT Doan's anti-lOttery bill was put on third reading and would have pass ed but for the suggestion that 1t be made more definite in its prohibition Of rallies. For this purpose it was sent to the judiciary committee.
 Tn Sutter bill, requiring that Tn cities and towns offenses against both municipal ordinances and the statutes shall be punished under the former was unanimously and even enthusias- tically approved, inasmuch as it tend ed to reduce the emoluments of jus tices of the peace and constables. But MT. O'Neil raised the question whether it was within the power of the legis- lature under the organic act to limit or amend the jurisdiction of the jus tices. For a determination of this mat

Among these bills was that of MT Goodrich, amending the law with ref erence to the taking of acknowledg- ments. MT. Weedins railroad exemp- uon bill was brought up for third read ing and sent to the judiciary com mittee
 petition was received from the citizens of Parker, which may or may not have been joke, provoked by the wide jurisdiction the leg islature has exercised in various direc- tions. At any rate, the petitioners prayed for franchise of some sort, for an irrigating canal or for electric light works across the Indian reserva- ton where Parker lies The council baked at that, and soon after, at 4:3O o'clock, adjourned until Monday after noon.

ter the bill was referred to the judi ciary committee
 The substitute for council bill S7 was passed This was the Weedin bill for the transfer of foreign insurance business from the office of the terri torial secretary to that of the auditor, the fees to be turned into the treasury. The substitute leaves the insurance business with the secretary, who is al lowed to retain 50 per cent of the fees. the rest to go into the public school fund.
 The afternoon session of the coun- and many of these are not finding cil, like that of the morning, was in termittent. There was an attitude of waiting and when the council got weary of inactivity it resolved itself into the committee of the whole and now and then, to relieve the mOnotony, passed d bill.

FIERCE FIGHT FOR NOTHING
(Continued from Page 1.)

suffering of the lady attaches who had come arrayed in their whitest frocks, prepared to work havoc in the succept- lble breasts of the youth of Tempe.
 There was a gathering of the clerks in the corridor of the third floor for the purpose of lynching Mir. Peterson for his Arrangement of the holiday plans There was another gathering for the purpose of organizing violence against MT Sutter for having provoked the Arrangement.
 The girls were afterward somewhat modified by gifts of a load of carna- tions which the Tempeans had had placed in the special train for the adornment of the members and the at taches. The flowers were brought to the capitol and distributed among the intended donees.
 The Anti Secretary Bill.
 None of the measures aimed at the secretary of the territory reached the governor before the period when his veto will be unassailable if he should choose to exercise it, though the cam paign against the secretary was begun early in accordance with threats made long before the session began.
 Among these threats was the proposi- ton to deprive him of all his fees de- rived from foreign insurance compa- nies, and it was predicted that such bill would be passed if nothing else should.
 Many wondered why the bill did not move along faster. Il had enough steam behind it, but within the last aal- f siderable obstruction in front, especial ly in the house. The public had been under the misapprehension that this was caucus measure, but 1t turns out not to have been.
 Then came the substitute for the bill to shear the secretary of all the insurance fees. providing that he should collect them and retain half, the other half to be turned over to the public school fund. That bill passed the council yesterday and was hurried to the house that it might be rushed through in time to get to the governor before the close of the day.
 Its movement in the house was fast enough at first. It was referred to the judiciary committee and was quickly returned to the house with a favor able recommendation, but 1t failed of further advancement under suspension of the rules.
 The Kind of Examiner.
 As appeared evident on Friday after noon, the district examiner bill was thrown overheard yesterday morning and the Weedin county examiner bill. as it had been amended, was passed under a suspension of the rules. It was sent to the house while still warm and with equal facility 1t was passed by that branch and made ready to be sent to the governor.
 This was one of the bills which the legislature had to get off of its hands before the ringing of the curfew. for if it remained beyond the legislative day there would be the tolling of its death knell.
 It is safe to say that it will become the law of the land. barring accidents, for it is one of the caucus measures pledged in the blood of the faithful.

THOUGHTLESSNESS.

Why will women with huge hats
go to a moving picture show and
refuse to remove them? We will
give them the credit of being simply
thoughtless of those unfortunates
who SIT behind them. 1t is prob
ably net spitefulness. OF course,
the man or woman sitting behind
an enormous headgear, unable to
see the pictures, loses only nickel,
not to mention temper, but he or
she is entitled to receive just as
much for that nickel as is the owner
of the offending plumes. The wom-
an with the big hat should remove
it when she wants to sit in NOV
ing picture theatre, or she should
stay away, for she has no right to
obstruct the view of others just
because she is too thoughtless or
too vain to take off her hat.

Suppression Of News.

Ohe of the problems an editor
has to meet says the American Press
is the often repeated requests of
prominent citizens, sometimes val
liable patrons of the paper, that
this o. that item of news be with
held from publication. This is
problem Of special difficulty in the
smaller cities and towns. In the
larger cities such requests are not
SO frequently made, and it is easier
to follow general rule OH the
subject. Speaking of cases of this
kind, in which the matters whose
suppression is sought constitute
legitimate items Of news, the Ober-
lin Co.. News says:
People come at the newspaper
with the time worn warning that
it will do no good to publish these
things" Publicity is regarded as
being almost if not quite as potent
a preventive of lawbreaking as the
fear of punishment, and the effect
OF publicity should be considered
before rather than after the COM
mission of offenses. This fear makes
the work of the officers of the law
easier, and the public should know
what is going on in the local courts.
Newspapers usually are glad to
withhold the publication of news
which might prove injurious to the
good names of any individual or
work harm to his business, but
there is class of people who make
a habit of trying to suppress every
thing with which some of their
friends are connected. Many years
of experience teaches us that no
newspaper ever made any friends
or realized any benefits from sup
pressing the legitimate things the
public ought to know.

WHY SHOOT THEM.

A Bloomsbury newspaper, few
days ago contained the following
paragraph; to wit:
Elmer Anderson shot a crane
along the banks OF the river last
Thursday which was measured 5
feet ? inches from tip to tip of
wings and stood 4 feet 5 inches
high"
And the next day a Philadelphia
newspaper had the following:
Connie Elliot, of Lansford, yes
terday while out cunning on No. 6
mountain shot an eagle that weigh
ed So pounds, and meaaured ~
feet from tip to tip Of Wings
Now can any body give good
reason, or any reason why those
birds should have been shot?
The crane is a beautiful bird,
and could do no harm-once in
awhile perhaps pick up a fish for
breakfast.
So the eagle, the emblem upon
our National Flag-Why kill it?
Both of the birds are very scarce,
and should be protected until they
are plentiful, until our boys and
girls could see them and tell what
they are like, X, Y. u.
