NEW ORLEANS AND THE
PANAMA EXPOSITION.

New Orleans may yet have an OPP
portunity of securing the Panama Ex-
position which will be celebrated in
1915, to commemorate the opening of
the Panama canal.
The situation is filled with danger
for the South. New Orleans has not
been sufficiently active. San Francis
co in two hours raised S4,SOO,00O In
another hour the balance was raised
and a delegation was sent to Wash
ington to file a petition with the COM
mittee on foreign affairs, which will
decide the site of the exposition.
Three cities are in the field. They
are Washington, San Francisco and
New Orleans. New Orleans, geo.
graphically, is the logical site. 1t
should be the city selected, for it oc-
cupies the keystone of the new situa-
ton when the canal is opened Il is
centrally located for the exposition.
1t is easy to reach by the people of
the country.
Now that San Francisco has taken
the initiative and has forced the issue,
the people of New Orleans are arous-
ed to the full sense of danger. Gov.

seventy-seven years old and has been member of the court since 1877. thus being the oldest justice in re- gard to both age and the number of years during which he has been 2 justice of the court. It Is argued against precedent to name a Chief Justice from among the associate justices The Syracuse Post-Standard asks. in regard to this: If it should be understood that a vacancy in the chief justiceship is to be filled by the promotion of one of the associate jus tices. would not these justices be tempted to seek the favor of the president. Upon this basis has been constructed the precedent which has Ter to the appointment of every chief justice from outside the court"
 As to Hughes, 1t is urged that he  is too young. The exchange referred to points out, however that his age is not far from that of several others who have been appointed to the of fee. John Jay it says, was forty-four. Ellsworth fifty-one and Marshall for ty-six while Conklin was offered an appointment at the age of forty-four. Hughes is forty-eight. Technically. also. the precedent quoted is also against him but as he has just be come a justice and as the appoint ment of a chief justice will probably be made in December, it does not ready apply.
 It is entirely possible that the pres ident will not appoint either of the men referred to. Should he not, he will have a number of names before him from which to choose, and it will constitute problem which is the greatest of the kind that has yet con. fronted him. There is no more i'm portant. appointment within the prov ince of president to make than that of chief justice and comparatively few executives have named them It Is matter which should be decided so,ely upon the qualifications and fit ness of the appointee, not upon any partisan basis

A GOOD MEASURE.

Ellinwood has introduced a pro osition in the Constitutional conven- ton, designed to stop effectually the abuses that have grown out of the incorporating system in Arizona. While drastic, it contains many good holderssare responsible for the debts of the company This feature should especially protect the miners and em pjoyes. Another excellent feature is the provision requiring a franchise tax based upon the capitalization There are other safeguards in thu bill that are designed to prevent the incorporation in Arizona of illegit innate concerns and if the Ellinwoot proposition is adopted by the conyen ton. it will have the effect O putting out of business the variou. concerns located at Phoenix tha

a5isToRY.MAKINc EPOCH.

It is not generally known that Arizona will be the first territory in the union that presented itself with a constitution containing the initiative and referendum. Oklahoma. it is true, had these in her consti. tuition; but congress had no say in the approval of her constitution. She was admitted by an act of congress and a presidential proclamation was the only requirement to complete her autonomy. Fe,
 Roosevelt and Taft both were un' alterably opposed to the admission of Oklahoma but congress Iaft them no alternative, but to issue the proc lamation.
 But Arizona will present herself to the congress of the nation as the virgin territory asking the sanction of congress and the president with this new system of government in her organic law.
 We anticipate tha. the fur will begin to fly at the outset--that the old staid republican leaders vi: bristIe with opposition to this inno- walton fin government These men

tive form of government and will have been educated in a representa- fight to the last ditch to preserve this system intact.
 Tn Democrat will be honest with its readers. We believe the sub mission of the Arizona constitution will create the greatest political con test this country has witnessed since the notable Missouri compromise was before the country. and which in the end precipitated the civil war. We believe our constitutional convention is making history that may in the end change our system of govern ,nent throughout the nation and sue ceed in oyerthrowing both political parties.
 The initiative and referendum has come to stay. It cannot be stopped by congress. the president the su- preme court or any other power. It is the inherent right of a free peo- pie to rule and all the Tafts, the Roosevelts the supreme courts and all the. political bosses and corpora. tions on earth cannot stop it.
 With such men as Cummins and La Toilette in the senate to voice this new governmental problem to proclaim its merits to the peoplel no possible combination of circumstances or politicians can stay it's progress.
 We should not venture the opinion that it will defeat Arizona's admis- sion. While We know that the president is violently opposed to it, as is also all standpat leaders yet the rising tide of independence and just indignation that is sweeping over this country ought. as mat ter of common justice serve notice upon the president and his associates that defeat of our constitution be- cause of this innovation. will pre- cipitate a contest in this country that will sweep the republican party out of existence.
 That the initiative and referendum will become nationwide is appar- ent to every student of political his tory; but the republican leaders will a gigantic battle before they will permit it to take its place on the statutes of the nation. These men fully realize that system that will deprive a state legislature Of the functions of legislation will sooner or later invade the halls of congress and participate in it's en- actments; hence the undying hostil- ity of these men to this method of government. We are not overstating these things. We firmly believe that when the constitution of Arizona comes before congress for approval a battle will be inaugurated that will shake the very foundations of the republic. and will probably result in the total destruction of the repub- lican party of the nation.-Arizona Democrat.

THE GAZETTE IS WRONG.

The Arizona Gazette would under take to have its readers believe that the Kelly papers are against the prin ciple of direct legislation. That is not true. We are in favor of tha, principle, but would have it in a practical manner which would give the power Of controlling legislation to the citizens of the new state, The Gazette says. referring to the Kelly papers: That they are still against direct legislation is proven by their own words, which are not minced, in answer to a recent edito- rial in this paper" Then the Ga zette publishes the following extract from an editorial in the International:
 While the International ac-
 cepted the platform as adopted
 by teh democratic convention and {.
 gave support to the democratic
 ticket, these papers have neveren
 dorsed the initiative and referen-
 dunn clause, no not now and do
 not expect to, though it may be
 written in the constitution and
 become one of the fundamental
 laws of the new state of Ari-
 zona"
 The above refers to the democratic platform in Cochise county which de- clared for the Oregon plan of initi- ative and referendum on a per cent basis. This percentage is ridiculously low and should not be endorsed by any one We understand that the South Dakota initiative and referen- dunn plan is a much better one than that of Oregon. We are in favor of direct legislation, which while placing self-operating power in the hands of the people will not encourage socialis- tic cranks to be continually showing before the people some legislative fad or ism to be voted upon. So far as the Cochise county delegates to the constitutional convention are con cerned, they are bound and pledged to vote for a per cent. plan of the Oregon initiative and referendum and they will no doubt do so, but that action will not convince this newspa- per that such a plan is advisable.
 This paper. nor any of the Kelly pa pers. will not be disturbed because the Gazette does not appove of its opinion on the initiative and refer endum.

THE DIFFERENCE.

That in the end when the two cen stitutional conventions have com. pleted their work, the verdict of tte opinions expressed by the Albuluer. que Tribune Citizen does not feel very hopeful for the peoples code in the constitution. and says:
 Arizona presents quite contrast to New Mexico Out there the peo pie have abolished the caucus and the questions of the constitution will be fought out in open convention.

00HE third week of Somers' exile ON the island
opened under a tropical which blazed on
the white beach sands with the glare of
ship furnaces Other days had been hot but this
was menacing and unnatural
Macaws and parrakeets perched in Sulky silence
IN the woods; out on the coral reef seagulls squat
ted with outspread wings; even sharks in the la
COON sought the deeper water of the ocean which
stretched away like sea of ground glass into the
haze of the South Pacific. To Lieutenant George
Somers, mechanically rolling a cigarette in the shade
ominous of trouble to come, and brought vivid
realization of his own precarious position and the
promise of the immediate future.
'Marooned in the Sulu Sea, with a monsoon
orally, and close navigation! A fine finish for an
Ofhcer and gentleman after years in the
Philippine navy! If l had my choice of berths over
again, ID take warship's stOkehOle 1t couldn't
derlng pearl pirate to happen along and take me off
the beach. 1t is hard on fellows nerves.
Since that memorable morning, when silent,
sullen faced boats landed him from the cruiser
Buffalo on the narrow ribbon of sand Lieutenant
SOmers had not a human face and had sighted
only ship, slate colored British gunboat
prowling among the islands after castaways
traband schooners hiding from naval law in the tor
tuous channels of the Suu Archipelago
While the gunbOat was in range of his binoculars,
the marooned man lay behind sand dune; when
she went wallowing her way south, Keeling under
her deckload of steel tubes, Somers resumed his
patrol of the beach and the channel that paraeled
it, with the stOd devotion to routine work he
had set himself to do which had made him noted
formerly as the crack duty man of the United States
cruiser Buffalo, disciplinaran who could always be
depended to out orders regardless of con-
sequences to himself or others.
That was in the past when Lieutenant Somers
service stars and brass buttons his uniform
coat. Now the whole expanse of Mindoro Sea lay
between him and the Philippine mainland, and at
that moment the officer thoughts entirely apart
from mOnSoOns and marOOnings.

HE stopped, his jaw squaring his figure tense. as
~ he stared down the shore. Far to the south
ward down the white ribbon of beach, where the
imminent reef channel rounded a wooded promon-
tory something still whittier forging its way
slowly into the stream Somers jerked his binoCu-
lars from the sung from his shoulder and
trained the glasses on the moving object.
speaking of pearl pirates, that's a schooner
down there all right neat little black fore and aft
wind TANNER. She's working up channel against
the tide and the wind. Jove! I'd know that clean
cut black hull in the middle of the Sahara desert!
It's the Fleetwing. and that means Dane Thorsen!
knew It'll knew he would come through this way!'
SOmerS tone eXutant.
Lieutenant George Somers had reason indeed to
know the schooner Fleetwing, and her master Dane
Thorsen free trader smuggler looter of industrious
pearl fishers, and even worse man who had set the
Philippine revenue service at defiance and led the
old cruiser Buffalo many merry chase through the
islands of the archipelago. SOmerS smiled as he
thought of the absent warshp and the prey so close
at hand.
I'll bet the pirates got hold full of looted pearl
shell and ton of copra piled on top for blind!
He's fixing to sneak through the back waters of the
islands and make break across to the Philip
pine coast. Just the same I'll take chance of
boarding you, my friend whether you want me
not. What's he up to now!
Even in the distance he could make out the giant
figure of alOft in the croSstrees, overlooking
the waters and picking a passage for the little
schooner through the coral rocks that strewed the
entrance of the channel. When she was fairly in the
mouth of the channel the schooner swung up into
the wind, the lookout cawed his way down the
shrouds and the head sails were lowered with rush.
Somers drew breath of relief
He's going to anchor where he is till the tide
turns-where he turn tail and run out if gun
boat shows up. Catch Captain Thorsen mapping!
There goes his whaleboat the side; he's coming
ashore, four Fiji oarsmen and cute little cox in
white ducks. Captain Dane Thorsen does things in
style''
He snapped his binocular case picked up light
sporting rifle from its resting place at the foot of the

II wonder what Mazda Williams is doing in little
old Manila?" Somers fancy pictured the slender,
life, during the anguorous lazy days in Manila. He
felt again the soft touch of her hand and heard the
musical cadences of her voice she answered the
ashore.
IF ever do get away from this COMPOUNDED place
and the little girl is waiting for me, she promised
she would Heavens! I never thought of that!

made him turn pale under his island tan. 1 never
