aid and encouragement of the
press, a large proportion of the
successful enterprises for the de-
velopment of Arizona's resources
would have failed of fruition.
In both the recording of history
as it was made, and in helping to
make history in Arizona, The Ari-
IONA Republican can truthfully
claim considerable share.
Established more than twenty-one
years ago, this newspaper from
the first has been a constant and
consistent advertiser for Arizona.
a constant and consistent friend
and advocate of moral and ma
terial progress. AS in the case

tinguishel for the maintenance of
a fixed policy: the policy of
standing up for Arizona and for
Arizona's people. and of making
known 10 the world the wonderful
resources and attractions of this
wonderful land.

is network of railway lines
connecting the great interior with
the trans continental system of
the Santa Fe. Through his efforts
alone, tens of millions have been
invested in the development of
AriZona's mines With no thought
of profit from the enterprise. Mr..
Murphy expended large sums in
establishing The Republican as a
great newspaper, because the de-
Velopment and prosperity of Ari-

heart, and he realized the fact that

he was reappointed. Altogether
he served as governor a little
more than four years, there being
some delay about appointing his
successor His administration was
a notable success. Probably his
most notable achievement was in
raising the taxation of patented
and producing mines in Arizona,
more fully treated in the historical
article to be found elsewhere in
this edition.
Much of AriZOna's notable pro-
gress in recent years has been due
to the initiative Of ]. II. Kibbey.
Having devoted years to the study
of irrigation law. when the recla-
nation of arid lands was under
taken by the government he was
well prepared TO lead in the new
conditions that arose. The Salt
river storage project was the first
large one to which the govern
ment directed its attention. The
people who were to be benefited
had to organize and do certain
things before the government could
proceed. That story is itself
long one 1t will be passed with
the statement that it involved the
acknowledgements of diversified in
terests and the adoption of n CO.
operative plan of future action,
without the loss of vested rights
in any quarter This was done
very largely through the legal adj
vice of Judge Kibbey. His most
lasting monument is that the peo-
pie under every national project
have organized water users asso-
Citations patterned after the Kibbey
plan, endorsed and urged upon
them by the government. All this
was accomplished before he be-
came governor.
In 1877 Judge Kibbey was mar
ried to Miss Nora Burbank in
Richmond, Indiana, and they have

who was a distinguished judge. He
served as deputy clerk of the cir

In 1873 he began the practice Of

Edward Kent is of New England
extraction. He was born at Lynn.
Mass, August s, 1862, to Edward
Kent and Abby lockwood. Early
in life he exhibited a pronounced
leaning toward the law, and his
parents decided to educate him for
the bar. His first education after

His education was completed at

which he graduated i'm 1887 with
the degree Of Ii. b.
In the same year the young at
torney was admitted to the bar in
New York city. The fact that
there We're already many able law
yers in the metropolis did not dis
courage him. but he Immediately
engaged in the practice of his pro-
fessiOn. His success was truly re-
markable and continued until 1896,
when he left New York for the

Denver was the city to which
the brilliant young barrister re-
moved. His success there was i'm
mediate. and in 1901 he became
assistant United States district at
torney for the state of Colorado.
He filled that office with great
credit to himself until March. 1902.
when the president of the United
States selected him for the highly
important office of chief justice of
the supreme court of Arizona.
As chief justice. Judge Kent has
made record of which any man
has a right TO be proud. His abil-
ity has been recognized At Wash
ingtOn. for he has twice been re-
appointed. in 1906 and 1910. Hun
dreds of intricate and perpleXing
cases have been argued before him
and he has decided them all with
peals from his decisions have been
few and have been almost inVa-
riably unsuccessful when carried
before the supreme court OF the
United States. Probably there is
no man in the west with n more
profound knowledge of law and its
intricacies. and there seems To- be
no complication which his keen
mind cannot grasp and solve.
The name of Judge Kent is
known all over the United States.
He is an honOred member of the
American Bar association and of
the Bar association of the city of
New York
1t was of such men as Edward
Kent that President Taft was
thinking when he said that the
justice of the wise. impartial and
thoughtful human judge is the
nearest earthly approach to the
justice that shall be melted out
to us hereafter.
