 The final picture showing Uncle Toms death just as he was to be purchased back by Shelby, his original master, demonstrates the bondage of friendship between the master and his slave.

WILL THE RADICALS
 HEED THE WARNING

the Republican Territorial Com mit'ee, has wired the Douglas Daily Dispatch from Rockford, Ill truths regarding the statehood sit uation. as he found it in Washing ton, which ought to carry convic tion heme to every man in Arizona except those, and it is regretable to confess that in the territory there are seemingly too many of such, who could not be shaken out of their prejudices that nothing good can come out of the Republican party by the Voice of the Almighty or by sign like the sun standing still in order that Joshua might have little more daylight to finish the work of the destruction of Jericho.
 Chairman Sames is on his way home from a conference with Pres ident Taft and leaders of the sen ate and house at Washington. Wiring to the Dispatch from Rock ford, he says:
 From sources of information admitting of no question, I have learned that the disapproval of the constitution in it's present form at Washington, is absolutely certain. The relentless and unparalleled ef- forts of the real friends of Arizona are seemingly not fully understood in the territory. If the proposed constitution is disapproved at Washington, it will result in the Enabling Act being set at naught, and similar interest in behalf of Arizona may not early be invoked again.
 "Ehere is only one chance for statehood, and one opportunity to get in line with congress, with which Arizona will have to deal for admission. and that one chance and only opportunity lies in the disapproval of the constitution by the people of Arizona at the cleo tion on February g."
 This is straight from the White House st Washington Mr Sames has already been consigned to the Annaias Club. along with Cover nor Sloan, B A Fowler, ex Attor ney General E s Clark. Railroad Commissioner Stone man, Attorney L-Roy Anderson. and all the other distinguished residents of the terri tory who have learned the facts of the situation in Washington, and have been patriotic enough to state them for the benefit of the people of the territory.
 The salvation of Arizona at the hands of the people on February 9 necessarily means the political un- doing of the men who are shriek- ing ito hell with the president and the senate," all over Arizona, at the present time.
 Douglas, Ariz., Jan. 11-Albert Sames, chairman of the republican territorial committee, returned from Washington today with the infor nation, which he said came through Postmaster General Hitch cock, that President Taft would not approve the Arizona constitution.
 "Mr. Hitchcock told me" said MT. Sames. "that President Taft had told him unqualifiedly that he would not approve the constitution even if approved by the people of Arizona at the election on Feb. 9. MT. Hitchcock told me that the president would never approve the constitution adopted at Phoenix.
 "How do you know" I asked Mir. Hitchcock.
 "I have it from the presidents own lips" said the postmaster gen. eral. He told me so. He knows all about your constitution. his de- cision, I know is final" Geo. w MatheHs nrnnrietor oj

WHEN YOU
MARRY A MULE
OF A HUSBAND
By Dorothy Dix

A woman writes asking for reli
able recipe for managing man with
q contrary disposition. She says her
husband says he knows he is of a Pc
culiar temperament, but she would
have no trouble in getting along with
him if she only knew the right way 20
treat him.
So far the lady has not been able
to find the key that unlocks the good
nature and generosity of her husband
and so she seeks advice from other
women who have been up against the
same proposition.
Of course, one would like to say
that the best way to treat a contrary
man is to bat him over the head with
a coffee pot, but, unfortunately, wo-
men lack the physical strength to en-
force such an argument against con-
trariness. Besides which our effete
civilization discouraging such whole

All that is left then for the woman
who is married to a man with null
ish disposition is to treat him as she
would any other donkey who hasn't
sense enough to do what is right and
proper, because l. is right and proper,
but who has to be tolled and cajoled
along the way he should 60
The Mule is Used Only as a BeaSt Of
Burden.
The woman who is married to a
contrary man must, doubtless, put uQ
with him with what wits and patience
Heaven sends her; but let all girls
beware of ever journeying to the altar
with a man who says, I'm all right
it you know how to manage me-"
The mule is the most unattractive
OF all animals and only good as a
beast of burden. 1t is impossible
either as a pet or a companion.
