CONTINUE TO
 HaRPooN CONSTITUTION.

From one end of the country to the ether newspapers continue to brand the Arizona constitution as an unfit foundation for a state govern ment- Republican and dewpcratic pspers alike have joined in an as sault on our proposed fundamental law. We agree with all that has been written against the recall of the judiciary which the delegates at Phoenix were implored to leave our of the constitution that statehood might come to Arizona. The fol lowing is a sample Of what is be- ing said about Arizona's constitution by the democratic newspapers of the south. It is from the Houston trex) Post:
 Tt would be regretable should Arizona and New Mexico fail again of statehood, but it were better for them. and for the other states, for them to remain territories than to be admitted as states with danger ous and unwholesome organic laws. Especially dangerous is the proposed constitution Of Arizona In more than one particular is it faulty and fun of possibilities for harm. but that provision which should and will prevent the admission of Arizona to statehood. is the application of the recall to the judiciary Nothing more repugp2at to Jaw and order and justice was ever proposed as a part of the organic law of any com nonwealth The immediate effect Of is adoption should be to make he judiciary the plaything and the  stock in trade of politicians: to make the administration of the law mookery and to establish disorder and anarchy The opposition the propOsed constitution is based upor sound reason ana common prudence and he whole instrument should be defeated unless it can have thii dangerous provision cut from f and be pruned of several minor feat ures correlated to this provision
 -Unquestionably. the adoption o an organic law which would justifl the state already in the Union int whose company these candidates fo statehood ask to be admitted, | sGutinizing the law under whic1 they seek admission to the en that representative republican go1 srnment be assured, as in the al senee of such assurance he inte ests of the citiZens of the severa states might be jeopardized.

Bisbee daily review., 1911-01-01

The constitution seems to be rest ing quietly these days. with only an occasional kick in the ribs by some newspaPer. It will have the everlasting sleep of the dead after it reaches Washington, while state hood for Arizona will be stfl in the future.

ROOTS SERVE
TWO PURPO SES

tBy H. H. sHEPARp.)

(By H. H sHEPARD.)
Roots serve two purposes for the
plant. They not only drink up dis
solved foods. but also serve to hold
IL plant In q nxed position.
The older and larger the plant
grows the more roots It needs to Sc
eurely hold It In place and to fully
satisfy its drinking nseds.
All Of the roots Of plant help
to hold It in place, but the youngest
and finest roots do the drinking.
These young. fine roots are called
feeding roots. They grow out in all
directions In the moist soil in search
Of food for the plant.
e At the end of each tiny feeding root
b . little cap resembling the finger
of . glove. The function of this little
root cap Ia to protect the tender root
let Is 1t pushes its way through hard
bits Of soil.
Although young and apparently
tender, these feeding roots are very
strong In way.
Through the power Of expansive
growth. they are able OF push slowly
through the very hard soil. and even
penetrate some rocks, bursting them
into pieces.
With large plants. such a. trees
they penetrate very deep down into
tbs ground where the soil is always
moist. but always as hard as rock.
