4 oHAIR OF MUNICIPAL yr,,

establish chair of municipal science,

It's evil hour. The starving people arc

The following is from the Flor ence Blade, of which Hon. Tom Weedin. probable candidate for gov ernor. is the editor:
 B! a stroke of the presidents pen, at 3:1O p. m, August 21, 1911. the 100000 liberty loving people who dwell within the confines of Ari- zona were emancipated from terri torial vassalage, and a great shout of joy went up from the hearts of those who have hoped and fought for such a consummation Tor three decades past. But unlike all other great emancipation measures, this one contains a provision making the elimination of one provision of our constitution obligatory before the grant of liberty becomes irrevocable. Such a provision is not only humil- iating to the proud spirit Of the Ari- zona electorate, but is without war rant of precedent or constitutional sanction. It is palpably an infringe ment of the right of local self-gov- ernment guaranteed to every com munity by the federal constitution; a fragrant invasion of a right re- served to the states by said consti- tuition. No one resents this pTesi- dentfal coercion and disregard of law and precedent with more gen uine indignation than does the edi- tor. of this paper, but this state of feeling. intense as it, does not make us unmindful of the fact that the president holds the key to the situ- ation and can successfully beard the lion in his den This being true our only chance to pluck the fruit of freedom temptingly held out to us. is to swallow the raven then spew it out when the cook is power less to reserve it to us. In other words, We must pocket out indigna- tion and temporarily consent to an exemption of the judiciary from the recall provisions of our constitution.
 Our constitution can be amended, at any time, after we become a state by a mere majority vote of the people. With this privilege at our command 1t would be rank folly to sacrifice the inestimable benefits that statehood woald- confer, rather than temporarily sacrifice a cherish ed principle. Statehood will bring to fair Arizona rapid increase sn population and an influx of capital to assist in the development of our vast and varied natural resources and thus create new industries and greatly expand those already in evi-

TAFT TELLS LAWYERS
 TREATIES ARE SOUND
Also Says Federal Court Pro- cedUre Must Be Changed
 for Better

BOSTON, Aug. 1.-"Arbit-ation of disputes between nations is coming slowly but surely" said President Taft today in an address to the Amer ican Bar association, which concluded the thirty-fOurth annual convention to- night. The president briefly review ed the proposed general arbitration treaties with England and France. and made it plain that in bis opinion ob- iections made to the treaties were in valid.
 He declared emphatically that there was much room for improvement in the procedure of federal courts: and upon us, he said, fell the burden of initiating the reforms in that respect. The chief justice of the supreme court, he said, had taken the matter in hand, with his associates and dis szict judges, and had called a confer ence in Washington. where they will formulate new rules of procedure This is great step in the direction of practical reform. He said the great need was increase of judicial salaries so the best men of the bar would be available for the bench.
 The president motored over from Beverly and at the end of the address rode back.

MALE TEACHER FOR
 DON LUIS SELECTED

The school board found an unusual condition to deal with when it start ed about the selection of a teacher for the school at Don Luis. Hereto fore the teachers in the schools of the district have been women, but it has become so difficult to get women teachers for that school that a depart ure was made and a man selected. It is almost impossible for a woman to get board in that district, or such board that a woman with a female appetite could exist on.
 The man that has been selected for this position is Lester Paris of Morrisville, Mo. He left yesterday for this city and will probably arrive Sunday. He is a young man and an athlete. He is a graduate of the Scarritt- tt-MOrrisville college at Morris vile and was a member of both the baseball and basketball teams of the college. He will be the only man teacher in the district, with the excep- tioD of the high school.

Well Known Brothers Return From an Extended Trip, Taking in Everglades

SAW WRECK OF THE MAINE
Douglas internationally

Avery Curry. of the Emporium. and his brother. Joe Curry, of Warren. have returned from an extended trip through the southland, going as far as Havana, Cuba. When they left Douglas a month ago it was for the purpose of going to Floridap fos view the Everglades land prop6sition around Miami. where work has been started Tor the drainage of a vast amount of land. which has in the past been be- yond the use of man because of con tinual overflow Great ditches are now planned which are expected to drain this land and thereby reclaim it to cultivation. The soil is i'm mensely rich and all that is required is the proper drainage. Mir Curry regards it as a fine country and one where investments for the future would no doubt bring good returns, but he was not impressed favorably with immediate opportunities there. Joe Curry stated that be found more real estate agents to the number of population than he had ever encount- cred in any other country.
 After visiting the Everglades land the Messrs. Curry decided to cross over to Cuba and take look at Ha- yana and the surrounding country. While in Havana they went out in a boat and viewed the wrecked battle ship Maine. which now sits in the harbor. exposed to view in the center of a great cofferdam which was built and emptied by the government Opin- ion seems to be practically unanimous that the Maine was destroyed by an exterior explosion.
 They were delighted with the city of Havana, which has been modern ized during the last decade since the Spanish were driven from the couu try they had exploited for every available dollar so long without re gard to the condition of the people.
 MT. Curry brought back lot of rea1 made-in-Cuba cigars and has been handing them around among his friends, which they have enjoyed while being regailed with descriptions of the trip just completed.
