any interest or any set of men would not have to vote against the entire constitution to set their seal of condemnation upon that one vicious feature. Many now will vote and work for defeat of the constitu- ton on that account who would have supported it had the recall of the judiciary been submitted se- parately. In that event they would have voted for the constitution in the main and against the separate article. And those who want the recall of the judicary included in the constitution could have voted that way. Had they prevailed the very fact that adoption of the re call as extended to the judiciary was clear expression of the will of the people of Arizona, standing of itself, would have carried much more weight at Washington. where final determination of this matter is to be made. In the proposed constitution there are other points that find objectionable. and those l will take up with you later when l have time"
 Mir. E. Titcomb: "I have not seen a copy of the constitution as yet, and 1 don't care about giving an opinion until 1 have had time to read it and give it some little consideration. While the conven. tion was in session 1 was out of the territory a couple of weeks and lost track of it's proceedings, so 1 am not 80 we'll posted upon it's work as l might have been otherwise. However 1 don't mind your quot. ing me as expressing a belief that the constitution will be adopted by the popular vote. A we'll organized effort to carry the election in favor of adoption is to be made, and it is reported that the move is to be fin anced by the Western Federation of Miners: upon the other hand there will be no organized opposi- ton, and no one is going to put up any money to defeat adoption. You know it takes money to carry a political campaign of any kind.
 Recall of the judiciary is not such a bugbear to me as it is to some. believe in an appointive judiciary with long or life terms If we are to have our judiciary elective 1 believe the judges should be subjected to recall"
 Phil Semler: "The constitution suits me completely. Am 1 in favor of recall of the judges2 Of course am: and 1 hope to live to see the day when the Constitution of the United States will be amend ed so the Justices of the Supreme Court and all the circuit and dis trict judges in the United States will be elective and eubject to re- call. Had the Supreme Court been subject to recall the infamous de- cision declaring the income tax unconstitutional never would have been rendered. 1 don't see why judges should have life jobs anyhow. No man should have such a hold upon his job that his employer cannot fire him at any time and for any cause. The people are the employers of these judges, and the people have the right and should have the power to fire judge who don't suit them, just as l would fire an inc0mDetent or unrulV black

majority, which will be swelled by the votes of many republicans of the same way of thinking as Lang don,-the republican delegate"
 "The constitution is not going to be defeated because it is too radi- cal: the people themselves are very radical in these days. 1 can recall the California constitutional elec- tion in 1879. 1 think you recollect it-you were there and voted. Both political parties, all the cor porations, all the banks, all the. newspapers-except the San Fran cisco Chronicle and few country weeklies-opposed adoption, and defeat of the constitution was con- ceded when the polls were closed. Yet when the vote was counted, you recollect, the constitution had carried the day by 15,000 majority. The ninth of February will present the same kind of result here in Arizona. The proposed constitu- tion is swat at privilege: and when ever the people, with the issue clear and mistakab ble, get an opportunity to swat privilege, they never hesitate to do so."
 Con O'Keefe; "What do 1 think of the constitution2 It is a social istic, anarchistic, dynamiting night mare; and we must knock it out: then send back to Phoenix the laddybucks who made it with in- structions to make another which will be a credit to Arizona, and not disgrace"
 H. Gordon Glore: "I find many faults and defects in the proposed constitution, and 1 do not believe it can pass the scrutiny to which it will be subjected at Washington. l think the recall of the judiciary alone would kill all chance for statehood if it got to Washington. It is the duty of the people of Arizona to kill it at the polls and have the convention frame another which will get statehood"
 Charles Taylor: "Will 1 SUD- port the constitution? Of course 1 will. It was made to be support ed, was it not? It is as good a constitution as we will get. The recall of the judiciary does not alarm me. If any of the officials elected are to be subject to recall 1 fail to see why the judges should be excepted. 1 don't believe the President or Congress either will turn down the instrument as now framed-if the people of Arizona approve which believe they will do."
 o K. Franklin: "I have not made up my mind yet whether will support or oppose adoption of the constitution. There are some provisions in the instrument as framed that I do not like-notably recall of the judges; but there are many good provisions. But want to give the instrument more con- sideration before taking stand"
 Frank J. Duffy: Il believe the constitution will not be turned down by the President and Con- gress. Public sentiment is chang ing rapidly. and before the instru- ment can get before Congress, not earlier than December, 1911, there is apt to be very little opposition anywhere to the progressive pro- visions that have been incorporated

l consider the recall of the judici- ary as utterly and indefensibly vicious. Without a free and un- trammelled judiciary the minority would have no protection what ever for their rights. 1 can see how in time of labor trouble body of strikers could destroy life and property without let or hindrance with a judiciary and an executive subject to recall. l believe that if that constitution is adopted by the people of Arizona it will be turned down at Washington. If it goes to that length our chance for statehood will go with it for many years. The people of Arizona had better defeat this constitution and compel the convention to come to- gether again under the enabling act and frame a constitution which will pass muster"
 w. A. O'Connor Esq: Am I in favor of adoption of the consti- tuition? Of course 1 am. And 1 believe it will be adopted by the people of Arizona: and at Wash ington l believe it will pass muster also. If that constitution goes up there as the will of the people of Arizona President Taft and Con. gress will pot turn 1t down. They will say: If that is the kind of a constitution the people of Arizona want let them have it,
 "So far as is concerned Bailey's telegram to the constitutional con- vention advising omission of debat- able provisions l think they might as we'll have telegraphed Senator Aldrich for an opinion. It is well known that Bailey is as much a Standard Oil man as is Aldrich. The people of Arizona will pay no attention to either.
 THE OASIS can quote me as predicting that the constitution will carry every county in Arizona by goodly majorities. l have made a study of the vote in the September election for delegates to the cOnsti- tutional convention, and upon that study reached my conclusions and base my prediction. Take Pima county, where the solid re- publican delegation was elected. There were three tickets in the held-labor, democratic and re- publican, The successful ticket re- ceived a minority of the vote. Upon adoption of the constitution the labor vote and the democratic vote will be for adoption and will give a clear majority in favor. Whatever democratic defection may be made through the opposition of the Tue son Star will be offset by republi. cans of radical tendencies, and other republicans who want state hood so strongly that they would vote for any kind of constitution hoping to get it. There is Gila county, which elected four demo- crats and one republican to the constitutional convention. In that county there were three tickets also. And all three ran neck and neck. The lone republican elected pulled through by repudiating his party platform and declaring for progressive principles, which he supported in the convention right up to voting for recall of the judi ciary and signing the constitution the only republican who did so.

By Example, Not By Precept Only.

Eveleth has a man of the cloth in
the person of Rev. Schwartz, of the
Presbyterian faith, who believes in
precept as we'll as example and as a
forceful reminder of his attitude he
arose from his bed at about the
midnight hour Sunday night-wher
all saloons and all places of ques
tiona BILE amusement were supposed
ly closed, and going down the stree
invoked the attendance of the police
on tour of inspection of the wick
edness extant in our sister city.
As result of their meanderinxs
no less than thirty.two persons o1
divers complexions and stages o.
responsibility, were landed on the
charge of gambling, and later ir
the week paid fines varying from S;
to $50 each tor the pleasure they ha6
been erstwhi]e enjoying.
Rev. Schwartz has, both before
and after, been the recipient o1
many letters OF a threatening nat
ure, but history seldom records tina
a cur who indites such epistles has
the courage to carry through any
of his vile threats.

Shaned|ing Clothing Company's New Place
in Finch Block will Be a Model.

The finishing touches are this
week being put on the new store

light green finish, while all light
fixtures and other furnishings will
be in keeping.
The owners expect to open their

finest and most complete stock of
mems furnishings and clothing to
be found in St. Louis county.

for Chicago to complete his pur.
chases and contracts for the new
place.

NO HUNTING ON NETT LAKE
Advices Received at Agency That ReseNa-
ton Game is to Be Protected,

Advices received from the Depart.
ment of the Interior, Washington
under date of August 20, by Albert
B. Reagan, superintendent of the
Nett Lake Indian Reservation, are
in effect that neither hunting or
trapping will be permitted on the
reservation.
The advice received was respon.
sive to petition from the Indians
that hunters be allowed on the res
ervation upon the payment of a fee,
but the commissioner responds that
while appreciating the advantages
that might accrue to the Indians
the matter is 'ntrolled by the
United States law and not by the
regulations of the department, and
quotes the law, section 2137 Revised
Statutes, as follows:
"Every person other than an In
dian who, within the limits of any
tribe with whom the United States
has existing trea ties;;hunts, or traps
or takes and destroys any peltries
or game, except for subsistence in
the Indian country, shall forfeit all
the traps, guns and ammunition in
his possession, used or procured to
be used for that purpose, and all
peltries 80 taken, and shall be liza
BILE in addition to a penalty Of five
hundred dollars"
And as a result of these orders it
is probable a number of Virginia
sportsmen will change the route OF
their prospective duck hunting trip
the coming season.

J. B. MiddIecoff Files.

J. B. Middlecoff, probate judge,
filed for denomination on Wednes-
day. This act has been anticipated,
ipasmuch as Mr.. Middlecoff has
been making a lively and telling
campaign for some weeks past, aud
feels that his denomination is an
assured fact.
Mr. -Middlecof~ has been an in.
cumbent of the Office of judge of
probate for nearly eight years past
and has made most capable offic.
ial. He is an attorney of more than
passing ability, point greatly
needed by IN incumbent of the posi-.
ton. and has been fortunate in sc.
lecting as deputies and clerks per
sons who are eminently qualified to
care for the duties devolving upon
them.
As campaigner Mr.. Middlecoh
has the reputation of being hum
dinger, showing at his best in the
last campaign when he defeated
Bro. Pfremner of the Hibbing Trib
une, with the solid and unsolicited
support of the range press at his
back.
His assurance of denomination
after careful survey of the field
cannot but carry conviction of his
grounds.
An insight into the business de.
volving upon the judge of probate
may be obtained by a perusal o1
his announcement contained in the
advertising columns of this Issue.

Report Property is Showing Fine.

Messrs. &. J. O'Rourke and Jacob
Stein, of Duluth, were in the city
Wednesday, looking after property
interests. The gentlemen are heav-
lily interested in the promotion of
the Cayuga Development Co., con-
trolling lands a short distance to
the southwest of Butte, and latest
assays indicate the property is a
bonanza. A considerable bunch of
the promoters stock in the proper

who stand to reap many fold the
amount ventured.

4. DISTRESSING ACCIDENT
Harry. Rooney Iajursd Through Being Thrown
Under Horse in an Auto Accident.

Under Horse II. an Auto Accident.
While riding one OF his fathers
work horses home on Saturday last
little Harry Rooney, aged II years,
met with an accident which may
cost him a, leg, and which will at
best confine@ him to his bed for
many weeks. ~-
When at a point near the grocery
in the North Side Addition Mr.. and
Mrs. Chas. Anderson, driving the
Lerch Bros. car, came in collision
with the horse. and while the story
of those witnessing the a cident
and the story as told by Mr.. Ander
son are 80 widely at variance tha,
we do not feel called upon to place
the blame the result was tina: the
horse was thrown in such manner
as to carry the boy beneath him, a
compound fracture of the leg near
the knee and broken ankle result
ing.
The COncusslOn OF the horse and
car was so great that the car STOP
ped quickly, but the driver shortly
started on his way leaving the un-
fortunate boy to the care of other
hands.
The story as told by Mr.. Ander-
son is that the horse reared as the
machine was going by, landing with
his hind feet on the back of the ma
chine in such a manner as to trip
him and cause the fall.
The boy was removed to his home
where he is under the care of DR..
Lenont and assistants, aud while it
is possible the injured member may
be saved it is considered more than
likely that a permanent disability
may result.

ACCEPT TWO new ADDITIONS
Council Tuesday Evening Adds Two New
P|ats to City Territory, the Rooney
and the Third Anderson Adj.

That Virginia continues to grow
and spread and that there is evident
ly a market for outlying property
has been exemplified several times
within the past two years by the
plating of various additions and
the rapid sale of same, four addi-
tions having thus far been added to
the plated portion of the city dur
ing the present season.
The last two of these were the
Rooney and the Third Anderson ad-
ditions, legalized by the council
Tuesday evening upon compliance
with certain requisites and the ap-
proval of the city attorney and
mayor.
The Rooney Addition comprises
a forty lying Immediately to the
north of the North Side Addition,
and Immediately east of the new
Pillsbury Addition. 1t is surround-
ed by numerous mines, including
the Alpena, Enterprise, Sauntry,
Silver, and the undeveloped ore
body on section SO.
The Third Anderson Addition
lies to the south of the city, adjoin-
ing the additions previously plated
and sold out by Mr.. Anderson, a
certain portion of the land being to
the east of the Missabe tracks at the
turn south of the city. Like the
! other addition, this tract is within
easy reach of immense ore deposits,
as also within distance of the big
milling industry.
The owners of these plats arrange
70 place the lots on the market as
quickly as possible, and at prices
agreed upon an investment in eth
er is considered not only safe but
certain to increase many fold in
| value.
