THIS DAY IN HISTORY

This is an eventful day in Arizona history. This is the second anniver- sary of the day, February IS, 1907, when Wags (which calls himself the Arizona Gazette), plugging away for the railroads, thus spoke disparaging- ly of a three-cent fare bill, which had just been passed by the house over the violent protest of Wags in an editorial of four days before against this and the "antagonistic" Bell rail way commission bill. Hear Wags, the then "champeen" of the octopuses which were girdling the territory with their tentacles of steel, and whose fiery breath was whitening the cac- tus and other desert and primeval growths, and whose trailing black smoke was settling like funeral pail
Arizona republican., 1909-02-18

upon all that was wild and beautiful in nature:
 There is a widespread opinion among men of as great ability and property interests as those who passed the bill in the house, that the three cent fare proposition will do more harm to the territory than it will do good. and if the republican members of the council agree with them, they should take pleasure in putting a quietus on this bill"
 The careful reader will observe that there was no pause from the begin ming to the end of the foregoing man ifesto. Wags would have said more if he had not had to stop to take breath.

A Big Fight

There is e big fight on all over town. Every one is trying to obtain the big VERNIS MARTIN BED in Massie & Sons window. It is a model of beauty. The prettiest thing in town. And it is going to be given away. Given away absolutely free! We are receiving mail orders, phone orders and many are coming in and purchasing goods, saying they ex- pect to get the bed. It is a bed that even the president would be proud of. Remember, it will be auctioned off April 3rd to the highest bidder. Bids to be paid in coupons. This one holding the most coupons gets the bed. Get your neighbors' coupons and save yours. It is worth all the effort. See our rugs in the Oriental Designs. Rockers. Tables, Springs, Mattresses and everything to furnish the house with.

The shortsightedness of the rail- roads and theiP niggardliness in the matter of the distribution of bones, they see now, has deprived them of Wags, a supporter who threw his whole heart into the work.

OPINIONS ON CHARTER.
Drawn Up Carefully, 1t Defied All
Criticism.

Criticism,
II might have been thought there
would he more excitement over the
perfect ease with which the charter
for the city of Ardmore passed the
rigid examination to which It was sub
mitted by those for that purpose ap-
pointed and provided. II seems TO have
been considered an instrument per-
fectly framed for the purpose for
which 1t was intended. Whatever may
be the faults and shortcomings of
that form of city government row
ever 1t may fail in It's trial here,
whether or no those elected to carry
out its provisions are able 20 come
up 10 the expectations formed II will
not be the fault Of the instrument
itself according TO the opinion of
those who are supposed to have most
knowledge in these matters.
That this is true is in a great
measure due to the extreme care and
hard work of those who drew up the
document in question. They were all
busy men, the lives Of some of them
being strenuous in the extreme. Yet
not one OF them ever grudgcd for one
moment the time he took from rest
and the neglect to his own affairs fol
the sake of giving Ardmore every
chance of development she could
have. They looked for no praise. This
was a very good thing, for they cer
tainly will never get much. They are
philosophical, however, and learned
long ago the abiding truth of JOSH

ed are they who have no expectations

1t must be said, once aGl for all
