Letters to Manufacturers.
Business Secretary ST. Andrassy

help build up the statistical part OF
his Office. One letter will go to local
manufacturers asking the size OF
their plant, number of employees,

desired SO that the secretary may
talk conversantly with out-of-town
manufacturers Of the local situation
with an idea of persuading them to
locate here if possible.

chase some particular article at q

paying, incidentally giving the local
consumer the benefit OF the redue-
tion.

to Perth Amboy as a manufacturing
centre and asking that current
copies of their respective publica-
tions be mailed to the rooms of the

the fOrtitude and courage of a good and fearless judge who would decide the law in the face of public pro- test, whether in the form of a recall movement or in some other way.
 "'We will still have judges that will do their duty, fearlessly in spite of the big stick in the form of the recall. I hope we have courageous men enough in the Legislature to re- sist the public clamor that is press ing for this legislation that will make the weak judge weaker and en- courage tine dishonest judge, to de- eide eases in such a way as to se- cure public favor, instead of deeid- ing the law without fear, favor or affection. It will be a sorry day to this state when a law is passed that must, in the nature of things, degrade the judiciary and make it less honest, less fearless, less inde- pendent. No possible good can come of such legislation, while much harm may, and almost certainly will, result if any such law is enacted and at tempted to be enforced. Sincerely yours.

A "sEAsoNABLE" JEST.

Some wag, with bump of humor like the protruding paunch of a pompOus politician, yesterday morn ing placed crape upon the door of the Journal-Min office to signify that the paper had given up the ghost as the result of the election. The symbol of mourning was emi- nently appropriate-but not in its application to the Journal-M Miner, which is still very much alive, not even the Seriptural period of three days being required for its resur- rection. Although the idea was con- ceived in jest and was received in the same spirit, unintentionally the jokers conveyed serious fact. Statehood is dead as the sequence of the election, and those who are vitally and sincerely interested in the future of Arizona, in its progress and in its prosperity, may well mourn. Right fitting is it that the insignia of death be displayed at this time. The court house, the city hall and the business houses should be draped with it. Bring out the erape.
Weekly journal-miner., 1911-02-15

The Statehood League of Yavapai county certainly owes eternal grati. tude to the Journal Miner. Had it not been for the active opposition of the paper to the ratification of the Constitution the officials of the League would probably not have been spurred to such an energetic, vigorous and vociferous campaign. They could have displayed no more enthusiasm or ceaseless activity had they been working to elect the of ficials of a new State.

 In the suit of Mitchell, admins. trator of the estate of James Giles pie, a continuance was granted until February 18th.
 In the suit of Washington Hutton vs. J. R. Lowry ct als, demurrer to the complaint was argued and sub mitted. This case involves the pay ment of money claimed by plaintiff for wages while working on a mining claim.
 In the suit of Pete Calvi vs. Dow dy and Gibson, further hearing was continued until February 18th. The issue is due to plaintiff filling an amended complaint and which was demurred to by defendants.

NO SURRENDER.

Regardless of any action that has been taken by certain Republicans of Aaricopa county, in reference to changing front on the Constitution, the Journal-Miner does not propose to abandon or even swerve from the position which it has consistently maintained from the day that the Republican platform of Yavapai eOun- ty was adopted.
 To crawfish at this time would be an ignoble confession that the Jour nal-Miner had been attempting to buneO the people in its declared be- lief that the only sensible method of securing Statehood was to frame a simple Constitution, free from expert 1uentals in legislation.
 To do so would be tantamount to an admission that when we advised the electors that there was serious and widespread opposition at Wash ington to the proposed Constitution, and that it should be rejected in Arizona and a new instrument framed, we must have been deliber- ately lying and seeking to deceive the people. .f5'. -.' To "baek water" at this inncture and eoneede that there is even hope that the Constitution will be approved both by the President and Congress, would be to impugn the veraeity of those gentlemen who wis ited Washington and reported as a result of their interviews. with men in authority, that the proposed Con- stitution was certain of rejection.
 To abandon a principle which we firmly and conscientiously believe to be right, and which time will dem enstrate to be right, would be craven eewardiee. Truth is mighty and will prevail. It was the Roman populaee that erueified Christ, it was ma ierity that stoned Martin Luther, and history IS replete with such in stances. Because if a majority of the people of the nation should elect a Democratic administration. that would be neither exeuse nor justifica- ton for deserting the principle of protection as an economic truth and flop over to free trade. If the re- verse had been the case there would lee no Democratic party today in ex- istence. It is true that when Demo erats are in control, all loyal people win support the government, but that dOes not carry with it the obliga- tiOn for Republicans to be renegades tc the basic principle of their party
 Hence, because large majority of the electors of Arizona, for various reasons, not necessary here to dis cuss, voted for the Constitution, that fact has no special significance nor does it prove anything at this time
 The Rubicon is yet to cross.

GOOD SENSE PREVAILING.

That the reform wave is subsiding is indicated by some very recent events. On last Thursday-the same day that the Constitution was rati- fed in Arizona the initiative and

referendum was defeated Tn the Kan sas Senate. Both the Republican and Democratic platforms had declared for the measure, but since the con vention the people opened their eyes. One of the contributing causes in the change of sentiment, was the Kan. sas Editorial Association. composed of men of every shade of political
 belief, which was outspoken in its opposition.
 During the campaign the protag- onsts of the Constitution frequent ly pointed with pride to the fact that the "progressive' Republicans had won in the California state elee- tiOn, and that the new Senator would certainly vote for the Arizona Con- stitution. Judge John D. Works was the man wno received the honor at the hands of the California Legisla- ture, and, To, and behold, he is out with statement urging the Legisla- ture to reject the "recall of the jud- ieiary" feature, and declaring that "refOrm has run mad.'' Here is what the new Senator-elect says on the subject: d"
 "LOs ANGELES, Cal, Feb. :. - Charles s. Wheeler, Esq, Attorney. at-Law, San Francisco, Cal.-My Dear MT. Wheeler: I am glad you have the courage and good judgment to oppose the application of the re- call to judges. The Progressive Re publicans could hardly make a worse mistake. It is reform run mad. One can make allowances for attorneys who made the fight in the San Fran cisco graft cases. But a lawyer should be able to rise above the per sonal animosities born of snch a con flict.
 "The future of this country is greatly dependent upon a fearless and independent judiciary Any con- 'seientious man who has served as judge will tell you that he has been compelled by his oath and his sense of duty to render decisions that were unpopular with him. and if left free to exercise his own desires no such decisions would have been rendered. Indeed, the most difficult things a judge has to do is to control his own feelings and decide cases according to law and not according to his own feelings of sympathy or the re- verse.
 "Such judge will, of necessity, render decisions that are unpopular with the public. as well as himself, in the performance of his imperative duty. It will be just such unpopular decisions that will arouse public re sentiment and induce the recall of the judge who has the honesty and the courage to do his duty, often against his own feelings. The judge wnO will bow to his own feelings or to public clamor, often ill-founded, will never be recalled, while the judge who does his duty will fall a victim to the public indignation based on wholly false ideas of the duty of a judge.
