The appointment of Judge Sloan as governor of Arizona strikes a popular cord in Ariozna. The peo- pie generally without regard to po- litical complexion believe that no better appointment could have been made. Petty differences will be forgotten and his administration will be directly in the interest of Arizona letting the political clips fall where they may. Few men are strong enough to withstand the influences of friends and party in- terests: some do in measure. The popoularity of a man is measuresd by this more than generally credit ed When statehood comes and q constitutional convention is ordered there will come time when the new governor will be sorely tried. but there will be no questioning of his acts among the thinking people. A solid. sensible, broad. just con, stitution for the new born state must be made and it is of more vital interest to the people than par ty or personal interests. Governor Richard E. Sloan will start the new era in Arizona with the united sup port ot the people. with clean slate, clean hands, heart and head.
 George U. Young for Secretary of the Territory is another happy thought on the part of President Taft and one that will meet with the general approval of the people of the territory. MT Young was there with the goods during the past campaign and rendered invaluable service to the party aside from his well l-known ability to handle the office.

Olivares and to pay to the two children of the murdered man sixty dollars per month for twenty years also to pay the funeral expenses of the murder ed man. It is a good thing for Maas that he was wealthy or he would probably have to send back the monthly payments from a place where money is said to be difficult to obtain.

Mine host Tommy Law of the
Gadsden is telling a story on c. f.
Egan, who represents M. E. Smith
and company of Omaha, and is now
in the city as a guest at the Gads-
den on his regular business trip to
this city. The scene Of the story is
laid in Los Angeles and is sequel is
the come back" which Egan framed
up on his chief tormentor.
1t is now several months since the
occurrence happened when Law was
in Los Angeles at the Hayward no.
tel. Egan came in at night. tired af-
ter hot and dusty trip across the
desert. He registered without look
ing or enquiring as to whether he
knew anyone at the hotel or not and
went at once to his room. After his
hard trip he wanted a long rest in
bed and rose a little after nine. He
was shaving in his room when the
telephone rang and a lady in Holly
wood wanted to talk to him. She
had a cocker spaniel she wanted to
sell. Before he had left the 70 pm
three other offers of spaniels had
been made him. On reaching the Of
flee a fine looking old gentleman met
him and stated his daughter had two
fine cookers foF sale. Egan was ex-
planning that ne wanted no dog when
up came a friend and said, Say
Egan, there is just the kind of dog
you are looking for across the street
This branded him as a liar to the re-
spectacle old gentleman. And so 1t
went all day long. Dogs and' more
dogs, for a fellow travelling man, Jim
Hickey, had advertised that he want
ed cocker spaniel pup. Egan treat
ed and treated some more, but he al
so planned revenge.
That afternoon Egan went TO the
newspaper office and inserted an ad,
but this time it was for chorus girls
to apply to Hickey at noon next day,
and Egan declares it cost him peck
etfulfuli Of money to keep Hickey out
tin the hour Then there were forty
girls. of all sizes, all complications
and all styles of beauty, all of fine
figure and ready to start at once
with a road troupe" Hickey had
his trouble and his expense account
ran higher than had Egan's on &C
count of the double barreled joke.
The climax came when one sweet
looking girl appeared and started to
leave tearfully for she had spent her
last nickel in coming from Riverside
Egan promptly fished out the return
money and insisted on making good
the loss. which was reluctantly but
gratefully accepted.

he could not do this without doub-

statehood aspirations; he will see a
prosperous country and a happy
