obtained through unboned corsets or

About 1871 he came to Mansfield,
where, with the exception of few
years spent in Kansas, he has made
his home, his occupation being that

him to assume a less arduous occu-
patton and he established himself in
the laundry business, in which he
continued until his death.
Born of Christian parentage, his
father, Rev. Isaac Hamblin, being a
Methodist minister, the influence of
his Christian home remained with
him through life and he was known
and recognized by those who knew
him best as a man of sterling, up
right Christian character. His cor
rect ideas of right and wrong and his
courage to adhere strictly to the right
under the most trying circumstances
was always an inspiration to those
intimately associated with him. He
has been for over twenty years an

Methodist church of this city.
In the year 1874 he was united in

Suppose suffrage were conferred upon women, what good would be accomplished by its In ninety eases out of one hundred wives would vote with husbands, sisters with brothers and the result would be the same. Woman was constituted neither for strife nor great physical exertion- she does not enlist as a soldier, or as sailor nor does she perform manual labor in the mine, in the forest or even on the farm, save in few lso- lated cases. She is not endowed by the All Wise Maker with the physical strength or the disposition of mind, i to take the lead in busy active scenes of the world She could not be so ] endowed, consistent with the higher duties of wifehood and motherhood and the home.

PRESS COMMENT
THE CORPORATIONS.
(Tucson Citizen.

(Tucson Citizen.
 The frenzy being shown by men oI socialistic tendencies in Arizona in their war on the corporations Is re sponsible for the depression in busi- ness, which is being felt in some parts of the territory.
 The fight waged here and else where in the united States to drive the corporations out of politics was a meritorious and successful one and could do no harm. Many cor porations took a hand in politics only because they were forced by un- scrupulous politicians to do so. Now that this battle has been waged and won, the socialistic element, which seems to be strong in Arizona, is iapparently bent on driving the cor porations from the territory. The news that Arizona had adopted a lconstitution which made of this ter ritory an experiment station for in novations in government, reached | financial centers in the East early, and Arizona is feeling the effects. 1 Already a big corporation at Tomb stone has been forced to shut down and throw 200 men out of employ | IntHl II CONlu iAbA AAOsAl Us, securities. Not content with this. the advocates of experimental govern ment will not be satisfied until they force other corporations operating in this territory to pull up their ma chinery and leave.
 It is to be hoped that after all this is only a passing frenzy. Ari without the corporations and her without the corporationh and her lcitizens will sooner or later realize lthat corporations that obey the laws
 and develop our resources are desir
 able assets and should be encouraged
 instead of banished. The present
 spasm will be followed by a reac ] ton. In the meantime, those corpo
 rations which are able to ride the
 storm should wait for this to come When the railroad. mining and other
 corporations are prospering. the ter
 ritory is prosperous. Right now Tue son is encouraging the Southern Pa
 cific to build its shops here, and thC
 Fl Paso & Southwestern to extenC its lines to this city with excellen prospects of success, due to the fac . that the people and newspapers O
 this city are not in sympathy witl this socialistic propaganda.
