tice has been closed by death. This
sad event occurred on the 4th day of
July of the present year at his sum-
mer residence, after twenty-three
years of continuous and distinguished
service on this bench. He met the
final summons with that calmness of
spirit and composure of mind that
marked his whole life. From his early
manhood he walked in the good way,
uprightly before God and his fellow
men and passed from this life into the
life beyond the grave in the confident
belief, doubt not, that the Maker
and Ruler of the earth doeth all things
Alright. This court, indeed, the nation,
will miss him, but the memory of his
stainless life will ever remain with
his countrymen as priceless heri-
tage."
The court then adjourned until to-
morrow.

! Coweta, Okla, Oct y. - Mark A.
Ieftwich, editor of the Coweta Times,
in a recent issue Of his paper denies
the statement recently circulated that
he is out of harmony with the republi-
can situation and declares that he is
ready to aid in "ridding the state of
gang of political pirates that are
lscuttling the ship of state" He says
he is for McNeal. but fails 10 cast bo-
ouets at the manly form of State Chair
man Harris, Harris is in bad repute
with Leftwich
The cause is easily asceTtained, Left
wich wanted to be postmaster at Co
weta and presented Harris one day
with a petition signed by many citizens
lof the town. Courteously Harris re-
ceiyed the petition and just as cour-
teously examined it. Then he cour-
eosly began the investigation in the
community and at length resolved to
courteously call the republicans togeth-
or that they might vote their sentiment.
The result was that Leftwich was de-
|feated five to one. He was not salts
fed and Harris courteously called an
other meeting. The second result was
that Leftwich was defeated by six to
one. Still he was not satisfied and
Harris courteously proposed to call
another meeting. But Leftwich saw
that the odds were ascending and he
declined courteously to stand for a
third election.
Downey Milbourn, the man whom
Harris supported, was appointed post
master, and ever since Leftwich has
been out of harmony with the Harris
faction. He despises the very foot
steps of Harris and is a recalcitrant
in the ranks. Hence he finds real
pleasure in courteously editorially dis
cussing on crop conditions rather than
on political ideas as promulgated by
Chairman Harris
When a Tahlequah writer scraped
the scab off of Leftwich's sorespot,
Leftwich flinched. The warning that
Harris had sent out to republican edi-
tors to fight Haskellism and support
McNeal and pay no attention to demo
cratic truths Che calls them lies) that
wrought dissension in the ranks of
the republican party, contained no
healing salve for Leftwich and he

of Norman started, and of which Cad
Allard of the State Capital soon be-
came a member, charging that every
thing said regarding the awful condi-
tions in the republican party in Okla
homa should be branded as a lie
pure and simple" as Leftwich says.
The Leftwich followers in Coweta,
if he has any, do not care a rep about
whether Joe McNeal is elected or de-
feated so long as he subscribes to the
tenets of Jim Harris. They are after
Harris scalp solely and all other con-
siderations for the welfare of the party
are subsidiary to that one paramount
purpose. They are in the anti-Harris
band wagon of eastern Oklahoma that
swears by the gods of the Kiamoia
hills that when the election IS over
Harris is to be given through one
way ticket to oblivion.

Leading topic of the day. This vital

have always lived under the protecting
care of prohibition law Now this
class of people are not aware of the
danger that they are in they don't re-
alize that they are under the mercy of
the voters. There are no words in
the human language that can express
the depth of woe, no figures of speech
that can picture the hopeless ruin in

ing the senate statehood bill. We all desire wise constitution. but we in sist upon being the judges of its wisdom; we all desire a conservative constitution. but at the same time we mus insist upon judging the degree of conservatism.
 There is no political power great enough to force a majority of the loyal and patriotic citizens of Ari- zona to accept constitution written in Washington D. c. against their wishes.
 While the people of Arizona are glad of the opportunity afforded tsem to prepare the way for statehood we must not be expected to stultify our selves and crawl into our corner like a whipped slave at the sound Of the administration lash.
 Rather no statehood now than to be compelled to sink our honest convic- tons and by subterfuge and deceit gain our place among the sisterhood of states.
 ArizOnas constitution will be an honest constitution. It's underlying principle will be equal rights to all; special privileges to mono" but again, we insist that the form of our own constitution is our own affair and We propose to depend upon the wisdom Of our own judgment The men who fought the battles of Arizona; the men who recalimed the desert; the men who developed our mines with out the aid of the outsider can be trusted to frame the constitution of this state. All the Xisdom in the country is not located in the White House; neither is all the patriotism confined to the senate chamber

4 RARE PRIVILEGE.

In our exultation over our great good torture. let us hope ;aat all of us will feel a sobering sense of re- sponsibility. Every citizen is charged with his share of responsibility in making the new state. Let us hope that every citizen will be willing to do his patriotic share.
 Under the territorial form of gov ernment the citizen is exeusable for some lack of interest in public af- fairs. He has DO voice in the choice of the officers of government except the legislative branch, and the legis- lature is in congressional leading strings. The constitution" if we may call it such. is a patchwork of federal laws defining and limiting territorial powers.
 It is a rare privilege to share in the work of making a state. In build ing the state of Arizona We shall build for all time. We shall build not only for ourselves, but for our children, and for those who will come after them.
 In the task of framing our consti- tuition, upon which all legislative en. actments of the future will be based citizens are confronted with the heavy responsibility at the outset of choosing delebates to the constitu. hcnal convention. It will be for these delegates to say what kind of a government We shall have. In their session they will make a record which Will live always in history. By that record Arizona will be judged. not only at Washington. under the pro visions of the enabling act. but by the world at large.
 To republicans and to democrats alike. the time has come for laying aside all considerations of petty par. tisanship. The man of either party who is so shortsighted as to think of party instead of thinking of all the people of Arizona, is not the man for delegate to the constitutional conven- ton. We must send weI-baIauced men, men who love Arizona. men who expect to live here, men who will take pride in framing such a con. stitution as was framed by the fathers of the constitution of the United States.-Arizona Republican.

Those Mexican political discontents along the border are as funny as their cousins. the South American revolutionists. Their efforts against the astute old soldier. Diaz. and his troops and loyal officers. are laugh able. Diaz is a politician, statesman and a soldier. above all a soldier. aRd a few discontented politicians with a handful of American rifles and few burro loads of cartridges have about as much effect against the Mexican government as a pop gun against a coast fortification. The disturbances show. it is true. certain amount of discontent among a certain class of Mexicans, but there are discontents in every country on the globe-all cannot be satisfied and the fact that these Mexican dis contents always attempt to shoS

The presidential election in Mexico will take place next Sunday. the 26th, and inasmuch as the only avOwed candidate against President Dfaz has been placed under arrest as a revo- lutionist. there need be no doubt as to the outcome of the balloting. The agitators who have been trying for some years to start a revolution have selected election day, it seems. for an uprising of their dupes. The news from the border indicates that some Of the Mexicans on the Arizona side have been led to join the revolution ists. and that attacks on the custom houses have been planned. All nee essary precautions have been taken by the Diaz government to deal with any outbreaks, and if there is any uprising it will be quickly suppressed and the foolish Mexicans who have listened to the agitators will be sorry for it. As for the agitators them selves. they of course will remain in the safe background. as they al ways do
