A PROCLAMATION

Recommending the Twelfth Day of
 February, 1910, be Observed as a
 Holiday in CommemOration of the
 One Hundred and First Birthday
 of Abraham Lincoln.
 It is observed, the last Legislative Assembly of the Territory of Arizona, by an Act approved January 22, 1908, declared and established Friday, the l2th day of February, 1909, to be a legal holiday in commemoration of the one hundredth anniversary of the birth of Abraham Lincoln. It further appears there was an intent to estab- fish the l2th day of February as a permanent legal holiday in commem- oration of the birth of Abraham Lin coin, but by some means, unexplain- able, such legislative action was not completed.
 Diligent study and careful deduction establishes the fact that Abraham Lin coin, as an American citizen and the embodiment of that something, which is undefinable, within himself, more nearly approached that kind and class of government as intended by the Con- stitution of the United States than any statute which has ever been written, from the Constitution as a basis, or any chief executive who has ever been entrusted with that high honor of ad- ministering the law, as expressed and unexpressed, yet intended by the Con- stitution. Abraham Lincoln not only stood, but the memory of his life and example will always stand among the foremost in that which should com prise the ideal American citizen. He met the tremendous demands of the hour with grace, good will and char ity, and simplicity, yet grandeur, few can appreciate and none explain.
 It should be the pleasurable duty of every loyal citizen on one day in the year, to give at least a few thoughts and devote time for at least a little study as to whom this great patriot was. The 12th day of February, 1910,

Cost Of The Drink Habit In Figures.

Prohibition lectures has been talk ing for long time against the booze habit, in an effort to dissuade the public away from ''the demon rum" and all its little sisters and brothers in the demon line, and sometimes they have come out with some pretty as- founding arguments, but hardly any of them have been as forcible as that with which an Ohio merchant comes to bat.
 He walks right up to the plate, shows them just what the game costs and tells them exactly what he is will ing to do for all men who are willing to quit visiting the thirst parlors and booze emporiums and turn over to him the value of the money they have been in the daily habit of sliding over the polished mahogany to the man in the white apron in front of the plate glass mirror.
 He has come out in his home paper with his advertisement and here is the way it reads:
 "Any one who drinks three drinks of whiskey day for one year and pays ten cents drink for it can have in ex- change at my store: POO lbs. granulat- ed sugar, 9 lbs. coffee, 20 lbs. tea, 50 lbs. prunes, 20 lbs. raisins, 50 lbs. rice, bbl. crackers, 100 lbs. hominy, 50 cakes laundry soap, 9 cakes toilet soap, dozen clothes pines, 20 gal. coal oil, 100 lbs. salt, 5 lbs. pepper, 10 lbs. starch, 100 lbs. beans, 10 lbs. soda, D cans tomatoes. 24 boxes matches, 20 cans salmon, loo yds. muslin, 100 yards calico, 20 yds. gingham, 50 yards shirting, 50 yds. outing flannel, 50 yds. toweling, 50, yds. lace, pairs lace curtains, pairs blankets, 10 pairs shoes, 25 pair hose, 50 spools thread, 30 handkerchiefs, 10 window shades, 10 papers pins, 10 papers needles, F dog. buttons, 10 suits underwear, 25 yds. straw mating, for the same money and get 4.93S premium for making the change in his expenditures.
 In other words, this merchant, after figuring things out bit, is able to show a man where he can almost support family year on the sum he thinks very little of as he spends it every day for his mornin's mornin', his night cap and his monday social drink. Just three drinks day-they would

cost forty-ive cents a day in Williams, for saloon men don't sell whiskey at ten cents glass in this mans town are sufficient to keep a family going, and few drinking men do not confine themselves to three drinks day.
 Put it in the light in which the Ohio merchant shows it, the drink evil seems a great one indeed and it is just as great as it seems, but few real ize what it costs until they have it brought home to them in some such arguments as this. It is worth passing up.-Williams News.

will be the one hundred and first anni- versary of his birth and on that day millions of Americans will gather throughout this great nation in com memoration of his memory.
 THEREFORE, I, GEORGE U. YOUNG. Acting Governor of Arizona, by virtue of the liberty and power allowed me, do hereby recommend that Saturday, the l2th day of February, 1910, be ob- served as holiday, and that, Tn ac- cord with the higher responsibilities of every American citizen, all busi- ness, public and private, be suspended on that day, and the day devoted to those things appropriate to cherish the memory of Abraham Lincoln.
 IN WITNESS WHEREOF, have here unto set my hand and caused the great seal of the territory of Arizona to be affixed.

NIann's Panama Canal Bill Passes the
House.

Washington, Jan. 6.-With the DEM

the Mann bill providing for the admin

centralizing the government thereof in
the president of the United States,
passed the house by a vote of 119 to
102. The vote was along strict party
lines.
The minority kept the house in ses-
sion until o'clock by offering amend
ment after amendment and demanding
tellers on each vote. A futile effort
was made by Representative Richard
son of Alabama to have the measure
recOmmitted to the committee on in
