There was very good audience al
the Opera House, Tuesday evening al
the democrat rally. The cornet band
enlivened the occasion and helped draw
the crowd. Henry j. Leonard was
chairman of the meeting and introduc-
ed the speakers.
Mr. Sweet, candidate for congress
was the first speaker and outlined his
! platform which differed but very little
! from Congressman Diekema's. He hit
Diekema few raps charging him with
being large part of the state, national
and congressional machine and noted
that number of times he voted in
favor of measures not in the interest of
the common people.
He said he was in favor of protection
TO certain extent and if elected TO
congress would work and vote against
the trusts and rich corporations.
Mr.. Sweet was followed by w. +.
Bricker, candidate fc. tic State Legis-
lature who made good speech. He
too said he was in favor of protection
to IA certain extent but showed how
woolens and prints had advanced in
price in the last ten years, claiming it
was due To the high tariff, He thought
our State Legislature should be more
equally divided in party lines and then
we would get better laws.
/. l.. Hubbel, candidate for prosecut-
ing attorney spoke for "A short time and
also made good speech. He touched
on the tariff issue and said he was an
out and out free trader and didn't care
who knew it.
He said if elected prosecuting attorn-
ey he would give the Office his best SER

ner Received Since Stock Matured
Philadelphia, Pa, Sept 26th, 1910,
Mr. Adam Wagner,
Dear Sir:
Your letter, inclosing check for $1,000
90 for my ten shares of stock i'm the
Belding Building ~ Loan Association,
series No. u, just matured, was re-
ceived on Thursday and l wish to thank
you for the promptness of the payment,
and desire To say that | would cheer
fully recommend the Belding Building
~ Loan Association to anyone wishing
a good, safe and sure investment. !
consider that the stock which | held
in series No. u together with that
which | hold in series No. %, which
Will mature in six months, is the best
investment | ever made. When first
thought of taking out stock in the AS
soclation, il seemed to me that il was
quite n large undertaking to pay $500
per share per month for ten years, but
when | got into il 1 never once found
ii Il hardship TO meet the assessment,
and now it seems like getting legacy
from home TO receive that amount all
nj once.
| would especially recommend it to
the man of small income. No place in
my travels have | found where a man
can secure as large interest for so small
an investment as i'm The Belding Build
ing. & Loan Association. AS To a safe
investment, all | can say is that ten
shares of my stock in the Association
has maturcd just the same as il was
represented TO me when | went in, so
| feel confident that the Beding Build
ing & Loan Association is the safest
and pays the largest profits on the
money invested of any institution in
this country.
In conclusion, | wish to thank you
Mr.. Wagner for the many courtesies
you have shown me. 1t has always
been pleasure for me TO do business
with you, and | wish to congratulate
the Association for securing and retain
ing such man of ability as yourself
as Secretary of the Association. lam,
Yours truly.

Fell on Saw in Mill at Peters
burg, West Virginia
Last Week
REMAINS BROUGHT HOME
Was Former Resident of This City
Had Many Friends Here Who
Mourn his Demise

The many friends of Mark f. Tuck,
a former resident of this city, were
shocked to hear of his sudden death by
accident, last week.
He was at work in the mill at Peters
burg, Va. and while carrying some
pieces of boards to the saw he was
working at, caught the toe of his boot
on bolt in the floor causing him TO
stumble and fall directly on the swiftly
| running circular saw.
He fell in such a way that the right
side of his face and head came in con-
tact with the saw, severing his head
and left shoulder in twain. In falling
Mr.. Tuck evidently tried to break the
fall by throwing up his left hand which
too was also severed.
He with his family left here about
two years ago having been residents of
this city for about twelve years and
served in the capacity of saw filler for
Belding-Hall Co. He was an excellent
citizen, member of the Masonic order,
the Oddfellows, Modern. w oodmen and
Knights of Pythias The remains ac-
companied by his sorrow stricken wife
and family, Claude and Fred Tuck and
daughter, Louise, arrived in Greenville
Tuesday, where they were laid to rest
in the cemetery. Quite a number of
friends and members of orders from
this city attended the brief funeral
service. .l--.< - q
Mr.. Tuck had decided TO move back
to Michigan and had notified his en-
ployer only day or two before the
accident To that effect.

 TRUTHS ABOUT
 PASSING BILL
Taft and Bailey Did It, While Cameron Stood Helpless as Baby in the Strenuous Fight,
CBy Wallace Strong

Washington, D. c. June 24- (Special.) )-The calm after the storm This is tne condition at the national capitol today. The contest on the railroad bill and the bill admitting New Mexico and Arizona were ex- citing. The Associated Press does not give the real facts back of both bills. and will never give them. The rep ublican papers and congressman are claiming a great victory in the pas cage of both measures. while the dem ocrats are silent on the subject; but before the ending Of the next con paign the people of the country will know who and how both these bills were passed. It is true President Taft did his best in behalf of statehood and had he omitted that absurd threat Of vetoing the bill in the event of 1t containing an educational qualifi- cation, his record on the measure would be alright But that threat maddened not only the democrats, but many republicans as well. Sen ators Bailey, Bacon and Frazier had a thorough understanding on the statehood bill and Nelson and Aldrich both had given their pledge of honor that if the democrats would not block the railroad bill that they would con sent to have the statehood bill come up and have a free right of way in time for it's passage or defeat.
 That was the first step toward Making Arizona a state. The chatter that Delegate Cameron had anything to do with the passage of this bill is stuff. Mir. Cameron tried to help. but he was helpless in this. array of New England republican leaders. The fight was too big for him; il was outside of his line of contest entirely. Men like Bailey of Texas and Aldrich of Rhode Island con. dusted that battle. and I want to say it was a battle of giants. AL drish wanted the railroad bill en- acted, and promised that the state hood bill would be given a chance. p "A chance" mind you. He did not promise to support it, but positively declined to do so. But Senator Bailey. who is regarded justly as the ablest man in either branch of congress, was fully able to cope with the New Eng land leader, and before he consented to the railroad bill he exacted, and received, the promise of all the New England senators. also Nelson. that the statehood bill would be voted upon before adjournment. Then Sen ator Bailey lined up his democrats and western and insurgent repub- hcans for statehood, and the fight was won. But, after all, if Presi- dent Taft had not stepped into the arena and demanded the passage of the bill, it is known in democratic circles that Aldrich would have found some way to keep his promise to Bailey and also Co defeat consider ation of the bill at this session of congress.
 Senator Frye of Maine was select ed as the man to kill the bill. but the promptness of Taft, with Bailey's help. saved the day for Arizona and New Mexico. So much this time.

 Mr. Geo. [. Young. Phoenix, A T.
 My Dear Sir:-Nothing during the year has given me more genuine pleasure than the reading of an art icle in the Bisbee Review which gave your reasons for the granting of ex- ecutve clemency to Thomas Waddili. He who follows the dictates of his conscience owes society no apology for any act emanating therefrom. even when such an act is contrary to the deep-rooted views of those whose minds are still r tially mildewed with the canker $ slime of past incarnation--a time when he only re- ceived tht approbation of the multi tude who most loudly proclaimed the preeept An eye for an eye-'
 His erudition must be great indeed who can with consumate justness die tate the punishment that shall be meted to the accused. The shallow brained dabbler of the study of the laws that create motives to 60 erimi- nal acts may scoff at the mention of weiihing in the scales of justice the influence of education temperament, environment and prenatal conditions, but there be those-and their names are legion-who would be wont to fol low the devious mindings of the tread of existenes back, far back. down the aeons of time before exercising the prerogatiye of condeming a fellowman to death. And it is gratifying to me to know that they who are the most le- Hient in their judgment of others are they who have meditated most deeply yes, and who are most exacting in their own actions through life.
 During my twenty odd years in Ari- kona. I met no member of the Wad- dill family; but most of those years were passed in COW camps in parts remote from towns and railroads and often. very oft n. met and associat- ed with men of 707 who had spent many decades alone in the solitudes of Arizonas lonely hills. know their changeable moods. their moments of uneurbabIe temper. their eccentric aces-yes. and know what it is to be nineteen. uneducated and cast adrift to meet the issue alone in such an environment
 May my dear old Arizona friends appreciate the action you took and stand by you in all your honorable actions throughout your career.
 Very sincerely yours,

DOUGLAS. June 24.-(sDecial.) =
 The court was occupied today in hearing the case of the Territory against Wolf Aaronwald. on a charge of aggravated assault upon his daugh- ter. Esther Aaronwald. and in the testimons adduced direct conflict arose and the girl in question, on the witness stand stood firmly by her father. swearing positively and re- peatedly that he had not struck her, had not knocked her down. This was ia direct conflict with the testi- mony given for the prosecution by several witnesses and came as sur prise. The case hinges on the testi- mony and also on the rights of a parent to punish a child, to what ex- tent he may go and whether he may be guilty of an aggravated battery.
 The first witness called by the prosecution was W. G. Mcdonald, who testified that ne saw the father chase the girls through the yard and into the alley, that he saw him strike her and heard the blows, that he knocked her down twice and struck her with his clenched fist.
 Mrs. Mcdonald gave the same tes- timony as had her husband and they were both corroborated by Mrs. Ham mond. Then came the sensation for Attorney Gung1. acting for the dis trict attorneys office. placed Esther

Aaronwald on the stand and she con tradicted the other witnesses. The child is a slip of girl some ten or twelve years old. In answer to the questions propounded her she never hesitated an instant, but gave prompt answers to the effect that her father had not struck her, had led her back to the hiuse by the arm and she cried because she didn't want to go back to where her smaller sister was and that on her return to the house the smaller child had slapped her, whereupon she cried more loudly The other witnesses had before this testified to her moans as her father was. as they swore, striking her with his fists. Asked why she ran from the house she stated that she had locked her father in room and for gotten to let him out and that he took the door down and came out, whereupon she ran away half clad expecting whipping.
 Two other witnesses followed, who eorroborated the testimony of the first three. Then a motion was made by the defense to dismiss and the court adjourned till 2 o'clock. when arguments as to the extent of parents right to chastise a child and to when, if ever. 1t constituted battery was presented.
