INFLUENCE OF EDITORIALS.

The American Press says. The reputation and character of a news. paper that circulates among the peo- pie are as distinct and well formed as the reputation and character of a citizen in the community where he lives. Its truth, fairness, honesty and integrity are measured by the same standard that the individual character in a community Is meas ured by. The unreliable, sensational and spectacular newspaper carries but little weight end influence in holding any kind of public opinion. Such paper may brieiy mislead a few men, but it wi,I not last long.
 Integrity in a nev spaper Is an in despensable prerequisite for the es- tablishment of a z 'od name. If the remotest suspicion enters into public mind that the newspaper will trade, traffic or barter its editorial columns. its usefulness is gone and it becomes doomed to an early death. A clean and carefully directed newspaper is one of the greatest educators of the people and is a blessing, and the fact that it has daily aCDess to the inner circles of the home increases the re- sponsibHity. The v'sitor to the home that becomes an ever growing teach CT and adviser to that home should be wise. truthful. hnnest and clean.
 -'The responsibility of the newspa, per in moulding public thought can not well be exaggerated. nor can it be described becarse the ramifica- tions through which 1t reaches the public mind are as numerous as the stars that stud the heavens. There is no high court Cf public opinion that the newspaper. which abuses its opportunities to mold public opinion. can. be brought before for trial. but there is a quiet current of public opinion that condemns such q failure on the part of a newspaper. which means ifs final decay"

HARMONY SHOULD PREVAIL IN OFFICIAL CIRCLES.

It is to be hoped that the news of discord and friction among some ot our new county officials has been ex- aggerated and that those in office will soon think better of each other and that they will all work in har- monay to carry on the business of the county for the best interests of it's tsxpaying citizens. The differ ences which may arise over the con struction of that portion of the stat ute which regulates oi1eIal fees will soon be adjusted by court decision. Our county officials are now pretty evenly divided between the democrats and republicans. The republicans have been given the responsibility of providing the kind C county govern ment we are to have during the next two years, as that party holds the ma iority on the board of supervisors. It may be expected tha- the republicans will appropriate all the good things possible for members of that party and the democrats should not be dIs- comfited on this account. What the people of the county wants is faith ful service from every public official. whether he be democrat or republi- can. and there should be as little playing politics. as possible. If our county officers work in harmony thev -aiill he ale. sIl cf them. to bette- wye their eonsti'neEts thaa thev can in a state o: s.rife and inharcaoBv.

NEW PENITEkTlARY

PHOENIX. Jan. s.-Since Ely. ter

 board of control has returned from

 namely for a conference with the board of supervisors of Yuma county concerning the disposition of the old

He says 1t is almost certain the county will buy some portions of its fixtures and may take the entire institution and convert it into a county court house and jail They will st least buy some of the cells for the equipment of a new jail even if they do not turn the ben into a court house. The last leg islature authorized the county to is- sue bonds to the amount of $75.000 to build a court house and jail. of which 1t is in great need. Congress in it's of the act cut the amount of the bond issue down to s50.000. Thus far nothing has been done toward a building. for it became ap- parent that there might be some salvage in the old pen that would be !

COD AND sxRTaouAkes.

In considering and discussing the responsibility of God for the disaster in Italy, the Reverend Doctor Leon Harrison speaks wisely until he gets to the point of the expression of per sonal opinion. To this opinion he is entitled as well as another and an- other as we'll as ne. If there were" :" he said. such God, massacreing a vast population for the sins of the few, I would rather go to hell than worship him."
 To many that wili seem a bitter and sacrilegious utterance. But that is true merely because of adherence to certain old-fashioned notions which say that calamities befall men and communities because of their wickedness and unbelief.
 The mystery of human existence is unsolved by man. Whence comes evil and why did it come under the government of the universe by a per sonal God described to us in reputed revelation as merciful and of surpass- ing. loving kindness? These are questions which have never been an. swered and never will be because they are unanswerable by man. Says the St Louis Republic.
 If the afflicted people in this in stance had been of evil character there might be some reason, at least of a superficial nature. for the as sertion that it was an act of out ragged omnipotence. But as the chil. dren of the earth go. the Sicilians and Italians are noted for the sturdi. ness of their religious convictions and their attention to the obligations of worship. Was II the judgment of God?
 Dr. Harrison says not. Science speculates on the physical causes. But St. Paul has told us that the ways of God are past finding out If we do not know the exact physical causes of the earthquake We know them with approximate certainty. Beyond that there are limitations m this respect. But we do know that If child runs in front of street car 1t will be crushed. If people live on the sides of volcauo they are likely to perish in an eruption. believers or unbelievers. signa!ly righteous or fiagrantly wicked.

make e superior president, and the people of Texas win receive him in the spirit of this deserved estimate.
 Apparently he entertains the ambi- ton that he may succeed in persuad- ing the south to soften if not to dis solve its democratic solidity. Well, there is no telling what may happen, though a republican south seems at present to be only so remotely possi- ble as to be, at the least, improba- ble within an other generation
 The south has not suffered in a na- tional sense by its democracy. Con 'rary to much scoid,ng and many preachments the south has prospered more since the war than any other settled section of the union. It has made more progress in agriculture, manufactures and commerce than the north, the middle west or the east A few states of the previously unsettled far west have gainei more population. but that Is attributable 10 cheap lands and to Am, rican adventure rather than to any political condition or sentiment.
 The facts of material wealth plain ly dispute the dosmatists and the proselyters. And assuredly 1t will not | be denied that the south will come of handsomely in any comparison Of civ ic or social virtues.
 What can the republican party of fer in wealth or culture or righteous ness as the superior fruit of other pU- litical policies? This is the practical question which Mir Taft must answer in order to make his exhortations eF- fective and must psove in his presi- dential performance to make the dem- onstration conclusive.
 The south dislikes to be considered |, as a section apart from the senti- ment and interest of the nation. be- cause it isn't apart in anything except in steadfastness to it's faith and Tn adherence to certain sociological ex- pedients due to its local environment. In all else it challenges measurement by any proper national standard, and as to these it cites it's progress and it's happiness as witnesses Of it's wis dom. The south wants more wealth, greater culture and deeper righteous ness, and is anxious to acquire them in any honorable way. But before it abandons the methods and the poll cies which have brought it so much it must believe beyond question that other methods and policies will bring it more. and Texas as the biggest part of the south vii, be delighted to hear what MT. Taft has to say and to observe what he undertakes to do.

TAFT AND TIRE SOUTH.

President-elect Taft's promise so come to Texas after the extra session of congress is a distinct compliment to the state from ihe nations chosen chief executive, for 1t must be under stood that he has been compelled to decline or to postpone acceptance of many such invitations His present visit to Georgia Is to be attributed to the accident of ils wfSter climate, though for that matter he could have found a better in Texas. At any rate Texas may congratulate itself that he will make his first presidential visit, for the sake of the visit and the state, to the biggest and best fin the union, sayx the Fort Worth Record.

ARIZONA RAILROADS.

The grading work has begun at Courtland on the railroad which Is f"' connect the new mining district with Douglas. If anythbag was lacking to prove that Courtland Is destined to become an important producing cop per district this railroad building should settle 1t.
 And, by the way, this reminds us that with the exception of the two trunk lines of railroads in the terri tory all others have been built to ac- commodate the various mining dis tricts. This might not apply to the Santa Fe. Prescott & Phoenix road so definitely as to all others; that road was built to give the Santa Fe a line into the Sait River valley, but at the same time large percentage of It's business has come from mines located along and Fear to 1t.
 The narrow gauge road to Jerome was built by W. S. Clark for the sole purpose of hauling coke and other supplies to the United Verde nine and the bullion to market from It.
 The Arizona and New Mexico rail road was built from Lordsburg, on the main line of the Southern Pacific. to Clifton for the rurpose of handling the business of the Arizona Copper company and that of the Detroit Cop per company at Morenci. Later the Morenci Southern vas built to make the operation of the Morenci mines more economical The Fl Paso & Southwestern was built first from Benson to Bisbee to accommodate the Copper Queen mines. The NacozaTi railroad was built 70 miles south from Douglas to haul supplies to and pro ducts from the mines of the Moctezu- ma Copper company in the Nacozari- district The line from Naco to Can anea was built by the Greene Consol- ldated Copper company and after wards turned over to the Southern Pacific
 The building of the Phoenix and Eastern was stimulated by the rich mineral country around Kelvin, Ray and Mammoth, though it is probable that this line may some day be Iink of the through line of the Southern Pacific by a connection with the Globe road at San Carlos.
 The Giia Valley, Giobe & Northern railroad was built from Bowie to. Globe. distance of 125 miles, to reach the rich mineral known to abound in the Globe district.
 So t will be seen that the mines of Arizona have provided the cause for the presence of our many branch rail roads. All these roads depend almost entirely on the mines for business These railroads while being invited by some special producing mine have been she means of stimHSating mine development ia the territory to the extent that Arizona today stands ahead of any state in the uu4on as copper producer.
 Arizona owes mach of it's p4ssent prosperity to the railroads of the ter yfto1y.

4 VERY HANDY MAN.
(Albuauerque Journal.

Governor Kibbey of Arizona is a very handy man to have around. He by which his territory is to be has already drafted an enabling act drought into the union as a state, and wealth about it at all
 It is a grand scheme, and we can only see one vulnerable spot in 1t. That is the constitutional convention. It's great waste of time, labor ana money to call a convention to adopt a constitution, when an executive or der would do just as well. And, be- sides, what use does Arizona have for a constitution, anyhow, so long as she has Kibbey?

MOVE STARTED TO
GUST HAY
WILLIAMS INTRODUCES RESOLU-
TION DEMANDING THAT HE
CALL SPECIAL ELECTION FOR
GIJRERNATORIAL VACANCY.

Olympia, Wash, July 2.-Senator
e. M. Williams, of King, is after the
scalp of Acting Governor Hay. He
has introduced his joint resolution,
the first of the kind to be offered at
the extraordinary session, providing
for special election.
The text of the resolution is as fol-
lows:
Whereas, by reason of the death
of the Hon. S. G. Cosgrove, there is
a vacancy in the office of governor;
and
Whereas, by reason of the resig-
nation of the Hon. Samuel H. Mich
OILS, there is a vacancy in the office
~ secretary of state;
Now, therefore, be it resolved by
the senate, the house cOncurring,
that the acting governor, the Hon.
NJ. E. Hay, be herewith ordered and
directed to call a special election
within five days, for the purpose of
filling the aforesaid vacancies, such
election to be held September /,
1909"
Ever since the issuance of the call
of the extraordinary session Will
Jams has declared that he would in
troduce the resolution the moment
he had secured votes enough to
guarantee its passage. He claims it
will go through the senate without
difficulty, and that the question will
be put squarely before the house.
The senate voted to refer the reso-
luton to the judiciary committee.
Williams claims it makes little diff
ference what committee handles the
matter, as it will ultimately get
through the senate
What will happen in To hopse Is
question. At present the admin
istratiOn forces number Al, and they
have been voting solid on all mat
ters bearing on the acting governor
In case the resolution succeeds in
both houses, Williams claims the
acting governor could not dodge it's
mandate by refusal to call the elec-
ton. The resolution instructs the
executive to issue the call for spe-
cial election within five days"
What would you do if the act
ing governor should pay no atten-
tion to the joint resolution?" Will
Jams was asked.
I'VE would impeach him." was

RECEIVED SEVERE BURN

Fire started this afternoon on the
back porch of the J. H. Miller resi-
denc On Mission street. The cause
of the fire is unknown, but it was
discovered by Mrs. Miller before it
had reached much headway. She
seized some of the articles that were
on fire on the porch and threw them
out in the yard. In doing so her
hands and arms were very badly
burned and this afternoon she is suf-
fering intense pain. The fire was
extinguished. before it had done any
great amount of damage. It was
very fortunate that the fire had gain
ed but little headway as the water
supply is very low today and while
the hose was being turned on the
building the water was entirely shut
off.
