RATIFY CONSTITUTION

It has become apparent to every
one interested in Statehood for Ari-
IONA that the majority of the lead
ING republicans in this Territory are
doing everything in their power TO,
defeat the constitution adopted by
the constitutional convention,
From Governor Sloan down 70
the little republican ofhce-hoider'
who fears the loss Of his JOB, every
thing that can be done or saio
against the constitution, is beng
carried out for the purpose OF nav
ing the people vote against the rat-
fication of the constitution, and thus
defeat the opportunity for State
hood and the adoption of consti'
tuition that was written in the IN
terest of the people of Arizona.
The result of the labors of the
=
constitutional convention is the best
organic laws ever written for a peo-
ple to live under, and the people
should realize that the republican
politician is against the adoption OF
the constitution, principally because
he fears the loss of his office and the
opportunity to help the corporate
interests that have controlled the
affairs of the Territory under re-
publican rule.
4 1t is up to the people now to
throw off this yoke and become
free and independent. The constl-
tuition is good in every section and
in the interest of those who have to
live under it.
The democrats should get to
work at once and form strong or
ganizations throughout the Terri
tory for the purpose of defeating
the plans of the republicans, the
corporations and other enemies OF
! the people Of Arizona, who are OPP
posed to Statehood. The constitu-
ton as written by the constitutions

PASSING OF A PIONEER
Death Removes D. M. Roberts
Pioneer and Soldier

r At $50 P. M., December 10. 1910,
at Stafford, Arizona. one Of the fami-
liar land marks Of this section passed
away. D. M. Roberts, familiarly
known as "Old Bob," a pioneer,
coming here in the early seventies
and first locating at old Pueblo Vaho,
on the Gila river, together with
Hunkadory Holmes and old Blair
s Trigger john" Together they
pioneered the Montezuma canal, cut
brush, threw stones out of the trail,
cultivated the soil, fought Indians
and in a crude, small way made it
possible for those who followed their
blazed trail, in after years, to build
up and to maintain a government.
The poor old man lived to see his
most sanguine hopes fully realized.
During his short lifetime, beautiful
homes in plenty take the place of
the Apache wickiup.
Bob was an ex-confederate sol
dier, having served with the Fifth
Mississippi Light Artillery Battalion
in that memorable war of the six
ties. AS the world rushes on and
past the lonely old man, with the
sad, honest face, stop and think of
the many. comforts you and your
family are now enjoying. Remem-
ber that much of this was in a way
contributed by the sacrifices made
by old Bob, the pioneer. AS you
pass by his last resting place, gently
lay rose upon the sacred spot in
remembrance of priyations, dangers
and hardships suffered by the old
pioneer. No more war, no more
heartaches, eternal peace forever
for him. Let us spread the broad
mantle of charity over his shortcom-
ings. With all his faults he had
virtues, he was honest through life.
Now forty-five years have past,
Since the bullets deadly blast,
Swept the wilderness, the noun
tain and the plain,
And with resignation he awaits,
The opening of the gates and the
meeting of his loved ones again.

HALLEY'S COMET HIDES ITS TAIL.
It's Disappearance For Two Months Was Noted Previous WstNo
likely to Be Visible to the Naked Eye For Some Time

"The theory of it's being foreshort-
ened or the head being between us
and the tail is altogether untenable
A comets tail always points away
from the sun, and If there have been
any pictures printed in which this was
not the case they are incorrect. Some
times a second tail appears, and this
freak tail may point toward the sun,
but the main tail always points
away.
''If the tail is there and Is merely
invisible to our eyes the spectroscope
might show it. There was, of course.
no such instrument when the comet
was here in 1885. We hope to be
able to use the spectroscope on it in a
short time, and may prove that the
tail is present by this means. The
fact that the spectroscope did not re-
veal its presence would not necessa-
rily mean that the tail is not there,
however, for it might be too dim fo1
that instrument"
