COBB'S SPEECH.
The Delegate from Graham
County Defends the lnitia-
tive and Referendum

The following speech, by Lamar
Cobb. delegate from Graham county,
was delivered in the constitutional
convention, Monday, November 2Sth,
while that body was discussing the
initiative and referendum:
"A few days ago distinguished
member of the minority arose in
his place and in seeming seriousness
stated that he had some time since
been informed that it was the pur-
pose of the majority to exclude him
and his able associate from partici-
patton in the preparation of the
constitution we are here assembled
to construct.
This came as quite surprise.
for ! have noted that they have not
only taken an active part in the de-
bates. as the record will show, but
they have decided the fate of a
number Of propositions and impor-
tant questions. The very first that
came before this convention, that of
keeping verbatim report Of our
proceedings, was decided by the
minority in its favor. After having
hovered between life and death for
three or more days, when the mi
nority was as badly divided as the
minority, the distinguished gentle
man from Pima came to it's rescue
in brief but earnest appeal, as a
result of which, or prompted by an
inspiration from above, the unani-
nous vote of this small but active
minority was cast solidly for the
keeping of a verbatim report.
A few days later we listened
with great deal of interest to the
arguments of the gentlemen from
Pima and Coconino regarding the
unconstitutionality of the initiative
and referendum, and if ! understood
the gentlemen right, they said that
they had no hope of changing the
opinion Of a single delegate; they
knew the initiative and referendum
would be incorporated in the con-
stitution framed by the convention.
Then why those voluminous argu-
ments? Was it necessary for set
and lengthy speeches, with most
numerous citations of authorities to
explain their votes on this question
when it could have been done in
these three words. 1t is unconstitu-
tional.' | believe the gentlemen
are perfectly honest in their opin-
ions (they have unquestionably con-
vinced themselves), but if they are
so desirous of statehood why are
they SO anxious to get in the record,
afforded by the verbatim report,
lengthy arguments against the very
thing they claim to be most desirous
of securing? Is it purely for home
consumption or are they briefs to
be filed with the president of the
United States against the admission
of the State of Arizona into the
Union?
The long list of opinions cited of
courts and learned men was i'm
pressiye and the definition of a re-
publican form of government by
Noah Webster seemed to have to be
quoted with especial emphasis. This
was taking advantage of the old
man. He died. poor old soul, long
before the necessity arose to revise
his definition. Delegated govern.
ment had not then reached the re.
fined state of commercialism which
it has today.
AS understand It, definitions Of
phrases and words are based upor

Rescue OF Brazil Coast.

New York, May 1.-THE steam
ship Tocantines, famous vessel,
which ran the mined harbor of Port
Arthur to escape from the Russians,
swings gracefully at her dock in
Brooklyn today after a trip from Bra
zil. bringing a new tale of adventure
and rescue. A gold medal won by the
captain and presented by the Brazil
ian government commentaries the
latest achievement of the little ship
the saving of sixteen fishermen off
the Brazilian coast on March %. The
first of the sixteen men was sighted
by the lookout before dawn He was
clinging to plank in the open sea
and was waving a weak arm to the
on-coming ship. A school of sharks
swan about behind him and his res
cuers found that his legs had been
badly torn by the big fish. The man
had been in the water "a hours and
had eaten his last meal six days be-
fore. He had set out from Rio ia
Metro with fifteen companions.
A squat took away their rigging
and left them to drift helplessly. All
went crazy but this one man and he
was compelled to take to the water
to escape his companions frenzy.

tines cruised about for several hours,
finally locating thez wreck and rescu-
ing all the fishermen. &

EVENING CHAT
BY RUTH CAMERON.

And the strangest part of it ALL
said the mother whose daughter had
wandered very. very near to the great
precipice of ruin and disgrace, "was
that Alice was such a quiet, studious
girl, and a girl that 1 always thought
didn't care anything about men,
1 have heard other mothers say that
or something similar, such as.
Boys really seem to bore Ethel. She
is such a serious minded GIRL" or,
"Jane really doesn't have any use for
men. 1 don't believe she'd care if she
never saw one"
And I always feel terribly tempted 20
ask, Dear lady, would you mind tell
ing me what state you are from"
1 don't believe there is a girl in this
city who does not care anything about
the opposite sex.
There are-thank goodness good
many girls, and l think a good many
more girls than there used to be. who
have common sense on the subject.
There are girls who can talk about
something other than what HE said at
the dance. and what a nice time they
had at the theater with HIM, and how
cute HE looks with his hair parted in

Making Board Roadway South
of Melan Bridge.
Will Extend 800 Feet-2O Feet

NEEDED IMPROVEMENT
Dirt Highway impossible After
Hard Rain.

M tension People.

The roadway which was made south
from the temporary approach to Melan
bridge because of the blackading of the
other by the extension work is being
covered with board planks. This COW
ering will extend three hundred feet.
Of this 200 feet, the length of the pro-
posed extension, is being put in by the
A. D. Johnson Construction company,
in charge of the extension work, and
the rest is being laid by the city. AL
together it will cost the company and
city something like $500.
This improvement was called for be-
cause the new dirt road constructed
just east of the city park, continually
sunk after hard rain and became
practically impossible. The Civic club
brought the matter to the attention nf
the Johnsons and the city. The former
road was paved but the new was made
in the bare earth. The board covering
will be 20 feet wide and will contain
over 10000 feet of lumber. 1t will prob
ably be finished by tomorrow When
completed it will be a unique highway.
but will probably be nearly as good as
paving in all kinds of weather.

pletion. OF the 5000 cubic yards to DE
removed, a little over 1000 remain
When the digging is finished, the work
of putting in the piers and abutments

There are girls who can have a per-

| There are girls who decidedly prefer

useful spinsterhood is infinitely better
| than to be Mrs. with any but the right
| man for Mr..
/ And there are also girls who adopt a
pose of complete indifference and alb

| to cover a lack of success with the
| same.
| But girls who don't care ANYTHING

have to go where the white crow nests

So don't be deceived, mothers. If

Don't be fooled if your Emma Jane
does appear to prefer a quiet evening
with her books to the society of the
handsomest young eligibles in town.
Don't be put off your guard that way,
and think as that mother, who was al

think so weakly sexed is really just as
much oversexed.
1t may be that your quiet little girl
