Arizona republican., 1911-11-24

by special correspondent of The Re publican:
 After detailing the efforts of the people of Arizona to secure admission to the Union of States since he came to the territory in 1864, Judge Wells called attention to the fact that his dream of fOrty-seven years was on the eve of realization. This declara- ton called forth cheers for Cameron. When he resumed his speech. Cover nor Wells. as Chairman Stillwell in- sisted upon calling him.. called par ticular attention to the provisions of the enabling act without which there would have been no constitutional convention, and consequently no con stitution. Besides providing for the drafting and ratification of a consti- tuition. the enabling act did more-it provided that the national govern ment should give the new state 1O.- O00.O00 acres of land. the largest do- nation of the public domain ever made a single state by the United States. and of that vast acreage S.0O0,O00 acres are to the devoted to the upbuilding and maintenance of the public schools, insuring to Arizona a public school system comparable with the best in any of the older states of the Union
 Cameron. while anxious to secure statehood. was not content with se- curing the mere right to hold a con- stitutional convention; he guarded ev- cry interest of the state Nor did his energy and industry end with the se- curing of a grant of land such as had never been secured by any other state. He was mindful of the burden of debt which hung over several Ari- Zona counties: Coconino. s31S.OOO: Pima. S6S6.OOO; Maricopa. s563,OOO and Yavapai. s677,0OO payable in each instance in 1912. and though he did not have an iota of power in con- gress except that of his personality. and without a vote. he fought down all opposition and had the general government do another unheard of thing assume an indebtedness of S2.- "A, ,000 due isolated counties in for away Arizona and to meet its pay
 
 lands. with the proviso that any sur plus of receipts from its sales after the debts had been paid should go to the school fund of the state of Ari- zona.
 We are too prone" said MT. Wells. to think of the enabling act simply as an act empowering the people to adopt a constitution and elect state officers. but as I have shown you there is an. extremely practical view to be taken of that law. and one in which the taxpayers of Maricopa county. and l am one of them. have an extremely practical interest Had it not been for the level headedness and tirelessness of Ralph Cameron while that enabling act was being dis cussed by congress, and were it not for his ability to convince congress of the justness of his cause, we would. as taxpayers of the county be called upon to pay the enormous sum of $563. 900. Thanks to Ralph Cameron. We are relieved of thatb urden.''

To The Free Lance:
Referring to your editorial of Feb.
9th, want to say that | have been
again appointed chairman Of Frederlcks-
burg National Military Park Committee
of the Grand Army of the Republic,
and | propose to take up the work IN
earnest in preparation for the next
session of Congress.
What want to do is to begin series
of articles through the press of the
country. acquainting the people with
the history of the terrific struggles
around Fredericksburg and arouslng
public interest. My theme will be that
more men died for what they thought
was right in that small triangle bound
ed by lines from Fredericksburg, Mine
Run, thence to Spotsylvania Court
House, than upon any other spot on
earth. | want to impress this upon the
people of both North and South so that
they can unite in admiration of the
American valor as exhibited on that
sacred ground.
shall take an early opportunity to
visit Fredericksburg and get in touch
with the Confederate Veterans there
and to concert with them plan Of
operations. Very respectfully,
John McErOy.

DEATH OF MRS. JAMES B. FARMER


Our community was deeply griey-
cd by the death OF Mrs James Is.
Farmer. wife OF Mr.. James b. Farm
er. merchant near Ullianee, which
occurred about > o'clock Monday
morning
Mrs. Farmer had been unwell for
several months. but a severe at
tack OF grip. contracted about two
weeks ago. was the cause OF her
death.
Her remains were laid to rest on
Tuesday afternoon at the home and
Rev. Norman Luck. pastor OF Enon
church. conducted the funeral.
Mrs. Farmer was a member OF
Bethlehem Baptist church and
woman generally loved in her com
munity. She was kind-hearted, gen
erous and sincere Christian woman
and an ardent disciple OF Christian
ity. Her delight was in succoring
the helpless. and there is scarcely
child in the neighborhood who
has not received some kindness at
her hands.
We will miss her, but there is
10y in knowing that her death was
but an awakening into a life more
enduring and abiding, and that be
yond the smiling and the weeping
she awaits the loved ones whose
souls are now bowed in grief. May
a merciful God, who doth not Will
ingly afflict the children OF men,
comfort and strengthen the hearts
Of her loved ones.
