Governor Hiram Johnson of Califor-
mia. mindful of future controversies
with members of the legislature, has
got in early with his appeal to the
people. who will no doubt feel COM
plimented by their appointment to the
post of arbitrator. though as yet
there is nothing to arbitrate.
They would no doubt feel grateful
to the appointing power. and in case
of controversy between the legisla-
tors and the executive. they will not
unnaturally incline to the side of the
party that has prematurely appealed
to them The trustfulness of the
governor in the judgment and integ-
rity of the arbitrators. we think will
obscure the merits which may be in
voIved in future differences of opin-
ion.
Governor Johnson will no doubt
make a good governor He is already
a good judge of human nature.

Follow Congressman Henry's Advice.

sentative in congress from the elev-
enth district of Texas. is one of the
national leaders of the democratic
party.
He has served ten years continu
and was elected last November to
serve a sixth term.
His qualities of leadership brought
him TO the front early i'm his con-
gressionaI career, and as long ago as
the Fifty-ninth congress he was
unanimously elected chairman of the
democratic caucus.
An Associated Press dispatch from
Washington. printed in The Repub-
Hcan a few days ago. stated that MIR.
Henry has already been selected by
the democrats for their floor leader
in the coming congress-he succeeds
to the position now held by Champ
Clark. who is to be speaker.
Congressman Henry is a progress
sive" democrat The reactionaries in
both parties have frequently referred
to him as a radical Mr.. Henry uni
formly takes the side of the people"
on all questions that arise in CON
gress
1t would seem. then. that Congress-
man Henry is sort of democrat
whose advice ought to he needed by
the democrats of Arizona. would it
not?
one of the leading business men
of Phoenix. himself an ardent advo-
democrat, and a close personal friend
of Congressman Henry. some weeks
ago sent to Mr.. Henry a copy of the
Arizona constitution. This gentleman
requested Congressman Henry to read
the constitution carefully. so that he
could discuss it intelligently with
other representatives and senators.
and to ascertain as thoroughly as
practicable the sentiment in the two
houses of congress and a, the White
House in regard to the constitution.
and then report his conclusions.
Congressman Henry has complied
with the request of his Phoenix friend.
He wrote during the holiday season
that so many members were away he
would have to defer definite report
until congress reconvened. After
waiting long enough to enable him to
know whereof he speaks. Congress
man Henry on Saturday telegraphed
to his friend as follows:
Washington, D. c., Jan. ID, 1911"
"Mr. e. A. Marshall, Phoenix, Arizona.
"Serious obstacles to admission into
Union with proposed state constitu-
ton as now drafted. Would advise
SENDING COMMITTEE HERE I'M
MEDIATELY to canvass situation
with PRESIDENT, SENATORS and
REPRESENTATIVES,
ar. L. HENRY"
With this advice from one of the
best friends of statehood before them,
will the citizens of this territory who
really want statehood hesitate longer
in taking the obviously sensible
course-the one and only course
which may save statehood from ship |
wreck?
Any man who objects to Congress
man Henry's proposal will inevitably |
invite suspicion of his good faith in
talking statehood.
No loyal citizen of Arizona can
object
Every intelligent and unprecedented |
citizen must recognize that the stu
alton is grave If we wait until after
the 9th of February. when the rati-
fication election takes place. it will be
too late except for regrets.
Public sentiment is unquestionably !
in favor Of sending an accredited

Stevenson's LAY Morals and other
Papers to be published by the Serb
ners, contains besides scattered
Sketches essays and stories, a preface
by Mrs. Stevenson, which throws light
upon her husbands character, and
gives several vivid glimpses of him. 1t
is the preface to Father Damien, an
explanation of how that famous de-
fence and denunciation came to be
written, and it contains this para
graph: my husband Yves still intent
on seeing Molokai. After the waste
Of much time and red tape, he finally
received an official permission to visit
the leper settlement 1t did not occur
to him it would be necessary to get
separate official permission to leave
Molokai; hence he was nearly left be-
hind when the vessel sailed out. He
only saved himself by q prodigious
leap which landed him on board the
boat, whence nothing but force could
dislodge him. BY the doctors orders
he took gloves to wear as a precau-
tionary Measure against cCntagion, but
they were never worn. AT first he
avoided shaking hands but when he
played croquet with the young leper
girls, he would not listen to the Moth
er Superior's warning that he must
wear gloves. He thought it might re-
mind them of their condition. What
will you do if you find you have con-
tracted leprosy?" I asked. "Do?" he
replied; why you and I would spend
the rest of our lives in MoIokai and
become humble followers of Father
Damien" AS Mr.. Balfour says in the
Life of Stevenson, he was as stern with
his family as he was with himself, and
as exacting.
Because he did not rashly plunge
into certain and useless death, but
elected far harder path, to live on
for Hellas, the Coward of Thermo-
pylae," the only Spartan of the three
hundred at Thermopylae who did not
perish, returns to Sparta to be Spurned
by his fellows and crushed by his own
mother. The subsequent justification
of his course, with his demon-like
fighting at Plataea and the Staying of
the Persian leader, make him little
less than a god to the AthenianS and
other Greeks, except the Spartans,
who even in death refuse to pay him
honor. Into this historic incident
handed us by Herodotos. Caroline Dale
Snedeker has woven stirring tale of
action, of courage, of broad patriot
ism, with every page richly laden with
the fine spirit of proud Hellas in its
golden age. 1.-THE Coward of Their
mopylae" has just been published by
Doubleday, Page & Company.
