 They, in this way. also offer hom- age to one of the greatest characters of all history-St. Patrick. The cruel policy of the English government al- most succeeded, for a time. in so covering with obscurity and derision the early history of Ireland, that it was not uncommon, not many years ago. to find educated Americans who thought Ireland had no past and was only now emerging from a night Of barbarism. Today we know better, and the scholars Of all lands are tell ing. in their different tongues, the true story of Ireland. The French writer. Renan. says.

The Christian teacblngs of St. Patrick were readily received by the Irish people. and before his death. in 469. the whole people had embraced the religion of the Cross, and with this was born also the stimulation of intellectual life.

kIbbEY MEN ARE ACTIVE
 IN DOUGLAS
Petition is Circulated and Sign- ed Urging His Reappoint- ment and Seeking Support From Outside Influences

DOUGLAS. Arizona, March 16.--
 During the last few days there has been a revival f the hopes of those 'epublicans in Arizona who desire to zee Joseph H. Kibbey remain in his present. position as governor of Ari lona. -
 Yesterday a petition asking for the reappointment of Kibbey was hUr. riedly circulated in Douglas. This action would indicate that at least hose handling this petition are not expecting that an appointment will be made at once.
 Word reached Phoenix last week from Washington that a new govern, or for Arizona was expected to be named early this week and that the choice was believed to be between w. Sturges of Pima county and Isaac Stoddard of Phoenix.
 That the activity for Kibbey IS not confined to Douglas Is shown by the following taken from the Tucson Citi- zen:
 That friends of Governor Kibbey are overlooking no opportunity to aid his candidacy for the goYeTnorship of Arizona for another term Is indicated by letter which George E. TralIes, one of the Pima county members of the republican territorial committed has received.
 The letter is from George 4. Mintz chairman of the republican central committee of Afaricopa county.
 'It urges Mir. Tralles to write a per sonal letter to President Taft. com mending Governor Kibbey and rec ommending him as the best qualified and most acceptable man for the gov ernorship.
 The fact that Governor KIbbey's renomination by President Roosevelt was not confirmed in the senate has left the governorship matter in 2 somewhat complicated state and the speculations as to who will really bt Governor Kibbey's successor art many.
 His friends still assert confidently that it will none other than Mir hibbey himself.
 His political opponents, however have decidedly different views.
 Some say it will be National Com mitteeman Sturges, who Is expected to get into the good graces of Presi dent Taft through his intimate friend, Postmaster General Hitchcock Some say that 1t will be Isaat Stoddard. former secretary of the ter ritory. Col Stoddard. however, i, said to be opposed strongly by tho 1 Murphy faction Of the republican par ty in the territory. The Murphy Stoddard fued is said to date bacI to the time when MT. Stoddard. dur ing the term of Governor Murphy, re signed his position In favor of w. F Nichols, who was secretary of the ter ritory for several years. Some say that it will be J. c Adams. who is a political opponent of Governor Kibbev and who recently resigned at Mir. Kibbey's request al l chairman and as a memebr of tho ! territorial fair commission. Still oth CTS assert that 1t may be Geo. U l Young, secretary of the republican l territorial committee.
 With all the speculation. the Iettel from Mr. Mintz to Mr., Tralles shows that the friends of Governor Kibbey are alert and working vigorously fol their favorite"

rendered by Judge Sturtevant yester-
day The money recovered is in pay
ment for the erection of the Butler
building at the southwest corner of
Geary and Stockton streets. The
amount sued for by the plaintiff COM
pany was sr00S5S.79, but the exact
sum due under the judgment will be
determined after the attorneys have
agreed upon certain offsets.
The contract for the erection of the
Butler building was let TO the Ameri-

struction company June 80, 1905. In
the fire of April, 1905, the work thus
far done was demolished, but a new

After a ten years test oil OF Win
tergreen as compounded in d. d. ID.
Prescription, has SO thoroughly, so
absolutely, proven its merit for skin
diseases that we have arranged with
the D. D. D. Laboratories of Chicago

We ourselves became convinced
wears ago. Cure after cure and the
testimony of the worlds leading skin
specialists showed us that the way
to cure the skin is through the skin;
not, however, by means of a salve
reaching only the outer skin, but with
penetrating liquid that gets to the
inner skin, killing the germs while
soothing the healthy tissue.

GET DELAY
IN COFf[Y APPEAL
Appellate Court Recognizes the
Demand of William HOff
Cook for Time
Carroll Cook Argues Heatedly
Against Contention Made
by His Brother

The case of former Supervisor
Michael ". Coffey. convicted of agree
ing to accept a bribe of $4,000 from
TREY L. Ford, Abraham Ruef and
James L. Gallagher for his vote on the
overhead trolley franchise while a
member of the board of supervisors,
was called for argument on appeal yes
continued until Wednesday morning.
November II.
The formalities before the appellate
court yesterday afternoon resolved
themselves into an expression of dif-
ferences of opinion between the con-
tending attorneys, and the case might
well have been scheduled as Cook
versus Cook, instead of the people
versus Coffey. Carroll Cook, represent
ing the appellant insisted upon arguing
the matter without delay, while his
brother. Assistant District Attorney
William Hoff Cook, demanded a con-
tinuance. The latter got the decision.
Deputy Attorney General w. II. Cobb
stated that the case had been turned
over to the district attorneys depart
ment and William Hoff Cook, as repre-
sentative of the latter office. refused to
argue the appeal on the ground that
the last of the appellants briefs had
come into his possession only few
hours before the case was called. He
admitted that he had received CARROLL
Cooks brief November l, but told the
court that the only brief which actually
raised any points worthy of considera
ton was supplementary document
fled by Franklin p. Bull, another of
Coffey's attorneys, which had just
come into his hands and which he had
had no time to examine.
Well, I We had to give up an i'm
portant engagement in Sacramento to-
day in order to be here, and insist
ueon going on at once" declared Car
roll Cook. Besides the appellant is
a very sick man and we want to get a
ruling in this matter before he dies"
He's out on ball. suggested William
Hoff Cook.
Yes. but he's sick and it is hard
ship on him to have to attend here,
responded Carroll Cook.
Il noticed that he was able TO be
around on election day without any
trouble" retorted William Hoff Cook.
In the long run William Hoff Cook
had his way. The legal time which the
law allows for the fling of an answer
ing brief had not expired and the court
ruled that the continuance was war
ranted.

Why the Franklin is the most comfortable
and the most reliable of all automobiles.

Being mechanically reliable, as shown by
winning severe reliability and endurance
contests. and having reliable tires. the Frank
lin is the most reliable automobile you can
buy
In another important principle the Frank
lin is different, and that is the cooling system
This difference is for the same definite reasons
as the other differences-to get better general
results, greater reliability lighter weight and
greater comfort. The Franklin air-cooling
system is as far in advance of water cooling as
full-elliptic springs are better than semi-ellip-
tic springs.
The announcement of our 1910 cooling
system early last summer created a sensation
So marked and effective is it that its success
and advantage were instantly recognized.
1t is superior in every way to any water
cooling system. II you will make the test
severe enough. you can satisfy yourself that
the Franklin engine will cool perfectly when
water-cooled engines will give trouble from
overheating. Our cooling system cannot fail
F.. to work-there is nothing to get out of
order. The only moving part is the suction
fan hy-wheel, and as a tiy-wheel is required
on any engine. the system is simplicity itself
This suction-fan f1y-wheel is a new thing and
is the most efficient fan known to science.
Franklin dealers will show you the new
cooling system You will understand it at
glance and will appreciate more than ever
the advantage of air cooling over water cool
ing with its plumbing, weight and complica-
ton. and liability to freeze or boil dry.
The control is another feature in which
the Franklin is also different. There is only
the throttle lever. Ignition is by Bosch high
tension magnetic with the Franklin governor
which dispenses with the usual spark-advance
lever. Better results are therefore obtained
at all speeds.
The 1910 Franklins have been in use in
all parts of the country for over FIVE months
and have thoroughly demonstrated the merit
of the new cooling system.
Franklin automobiles are built in three
chassis sizes, four and six-cylinder, with
sixteen different body styles embracing tour
ing, two. three and four-passenger run
abouts, close coupled bodies. limousinea
landaulets, town-cars and taxicabs.
