On the first ballot eight stood for a verdict for the plaintiff and four for the defendant Later the numbers were changed to seven and five. Those who favored a verdict for the plaintiff were not agreed as to the amount of il. Their ideas varied from a nominal sum to the amount sued for. 5000. But fin ally they compromised among them selves and the opposition. on $l5o.
 In this connection, d correction is here made of an error committed by the reporter yesterday in the statement that Dr John A.

A few days after the filing of the suits a person who had stated that he had no intention of either paying or of being forced into paying. ap- preached Mir Fowler and said: T want to settle for the amount of sub scription. I've been wrong about this and l guess the association is en- titled to the money. It needs it and I promised it. so here it is"
 Other cases of the same kind have occurred. Suit was only entered when the date for the expiration of the time in which the subscribers could be held legally responsible for the amount of their subscriptions began to draw near. Under the territorial statute of limitations. the accounts would have outlawed last month. and it was nec- essary to take prompt and effectual measures to protect the association from loss. The result has been so successful that the directors are glad they decided to force an issue with the ones who ignored the obligation of their subscription.

SUBSCRIBERS ADMIT
 CLAIM OF ASSOCIATION FILING OF SUITS BRINGS PROMPT SETTLEMENT IN MANY CASES Y. M. C. A. Greatly Benefited by Strong Position Taken by the
 Directors.

Convinced by the measures taken by the board of directors of the Young Mems Christian association that the subscriptions on which payment had not been begun could be. and would be. collected in open court. many of the subscribers have stopped proceed ings by settling for the full amount of the associations claim, which is, in the case Of each person, the amount he promised to pay for the further ance of the plan for the present building
 Before leaving for Prescott with the excursion yesterday, Barnett F. Marks the attorney for the association. said:
 Large numbers have come in to settle the amounts due the associa- rion. and I believe the directors did the only right thing in placing the sums in the hands of the law for col lection. The people very evidently recognize the obligation to pay. both moral and legal and I believe a large percentage of the monies still due the association will be collected without trouble or the necessity of actually trying the case in court"
 Since he took the attitude of com polling payment from the men who attached their names to the list cir cuiated by the promoters of the plan for a building which would be a credit to Phoenix, Nr. E. \. Fowler the president of the association. has re- ceived many congratulations for the strength he showed in taking the only course which offered any hope for the final liquidation of the institutions debts Contributions to the list were not obligatory. and the building was erected on the credit and supposed re- -ponsibility of the signers. The com pletion of the building found the di rectors in the situation where it was necessary to either collect the money due the association or see it overbur- dened with debt for years to come. They adopted the former plan, and it

 Monday Night.

Prohibition will go into effect next Monday night in all parts of Maricopa county except within the corporate limits Of Phoenix, the necessary pub lication by the board of the result of the local option election expiring at that time
 Ii had been expected that the con test instituted by X. A. Gibson of Tempe to have declared void the elec- tion within the corporate limits of Tempe would be decided by that time.
 The hearing on the application of Gibson for a writ of certiorari was set for yesterday. the board of supervisors having been ordered to show cause then. but the hearing was continued until Friday, June ?.
 It is the contention of the applicant that under the law. the board of super visors could not have ordered an cleo tion to be held earlier than next De cember. when two years would have elapsed since the people of the town of Tempe had expressed themselves against prohibition.

DIR. WILEY'S ENEMIES.

For nearly thirty years DR.. Harvey
w. Wiley has been in the service OF
the Interior Departmnt as the chief
of the bureau of chemistry. Under
the pure food law, which was passed
usder Mr.. Roosevelts alministra-
ton, and for which Mr.. Wiley was
chiefly responsible, he has succeeded
in amassing a very large assortment
of active enemies Many of the pa
pers that are standing by him today
admit that he has probably shown
excessive ZEAL in the administra-
ton of his pet law Leslie's Weekly
accuses him Of having IAN aggra-
waited case Of what is called big
u cad. : The San francisco Ghfon-
icle says HE is determined to have his
own way regardless Of law or rea-
son. He has not been particularly
cautious of making enemies aside
from zeal in his official duties. He has
declared alcohol a poison, and tho not
a total abstainer himself, he has
espOused the cause of total abstinence
Eighty-five per cent. of the whiskey
sold over bars In this country, he as
serts, il adulterated. He has tried to
start a crusade against the use of to-
bacco in public or semi-public places.
1t is not unlikely" says Harper's
Weekly, that If he had the power to
regulate our foods and drinks pre-
cisely according to his view of what is
good for us a large proportion of the
country's population would move out
of his bailiwick in pursuit of what
they consider the comforts of life. /"
Yet personally HE has large number
of ardent admirers, and his influence
over appropriation committees is said
to be hypnotic. Hehas tongue al
most as clever as Bernard Shaw's
pen. What is a scientific agricul-
turist? ?" he was once asked before an
appropriation committee His prompt
reply was: Zone who makes two dol
lars grow ON an appropriation bill
where but one grew before" But
then, being a chemist, he ought to be
skillful with retorts That, as Mr..
Dooley would say, is joke and we

sCanst thou draw out leviathan with

OUR PEOPLE DEMANDING
HONESTY AND PUBLICITY IN

The corrupt use OF money at cleo

forced Men who disregard this act
in New Jersey" the Governor said,
cannot have office We will find
room for all such men at Trenton,
and that is what prisons are for. .
These are brave words, and the Gov
ernor OF New Jersey has not been
content with words, He follows
them UP with deeds, and, as Cover
nor, he could not be engaged In a
holier cause than in stamping out
the great evil of buying and selling
votes. And the prison, in the discre-

In letter to the New York
World Judge Parker calls for the
amendment of the act of Congress of
January 26, 1907, so as to provide
Imprisonment for the officers OF cor

political ends. The act imposes
fine. This punishment, the Judge
says, was not intended to hinder

tion out of the company's till should
be convicted, he can easily put his
hand in the till again ana withdrew
the money to pay the fine.
In an undertaking to enforce the
corrupt practices act and stop the
crime Of vote trafficking. the Cover
nor of New Jersey is warning against
one of the greatest and most danger
Gus crimes against the PEOPLE
When the vote of an honest man can
be muffled by bought vote on the
4other side, that is the same thing as
Acknowledgement. 1t is not only an
injury to the honest voter 1t Is an
injury to the whole people. If the
high officials Of the Government are
elected, not by the free choice Of the
people. but by bought votes, then the
people are not enjoying the right of
f-government. More than this, it
sintrusts the conduct of the Govern
ment and the enforcement OF the
laws to breakers.
Governor Wilson is engaged in a
great cause, and his words ring true

was indefensible, but he was in a po-

one CONSOLATION!
WE HAVE NO JOB, NO WEALTH,
NOTHING BUT OUR EXISTENCE.
One Sweet Consoling Thought.

OHc SWEEP SOHSOHHS IHOuSnt.
There is a certain grim joy in the
thought that we have nothing which
the dishonest politicians of this sec
ton can take away from us. We
can say what we will about them,
and the worst thing that can happen
to us Is to become the subject of the
soiled slang of the little organs
controlled by the dark and shifty
ones. OF course, this j. not always
pleasant attention from what our
southern friends call skunk"
never is But as soon as the smell
has died away. it doesn't amount to
anything.
But If we had job, no matter
how apparently remote from the dim
and shady ones, then we would better
look out, for it would be only mat
ter of very short time until we
would find ourselves invited to seek
other lodging.
There was our friend Mr.. Headley,
for instance. He
Quoted secret scandal, wrote the
tactless truth
Was there ever known more mis-
guided YOUTH
He didn't have to wait long to real
ize that
Men who spar with politics, need
to back their blows
With something more than ordinary
journalistic prose. I
However his sad fate cannot be-
fall us We have no Job to lose. We
have nothing, in fact, save "our
life and our sacred honor" Neither
of these is subject to the approval
of those grim and greedy ones, so
they are powerless to modest us. For
this we are truly thankful
