THE EXERCISE OF POWER.

On August 8 the bill providing the
admission of the territories of Ari-
iona and New Mexico as states was
passed in the United States Senate
by the surprising vote of 50 to 1o
Notwithstanding the provision in the
Arizona Constitution applying to the
recall of judges if remiss in their
duties.
In the Constitution of New Mexico
there are objections equally as
strong as are confined in the Con-
stitution of Arizona.
In emphasizing his disapproval of
this Constitution, MI. Taft declares
that the recall of judges would ope-
rate to the reaching and the render
ing of decisions under legal terror
ism" which would destroy 1.-The in
dependence of the bench and be
fatal to the cause of free govern
ment."
AS outlined in a telegram from
Washington, the new resolution
favored by the President requires
that Arizona shall eliminate from its
new constitution the recall of judges
provision before it shall be admitted
to the Union. New Mexico is in
structed to vote again on a change
in its constitution, designed to make
that act more easily amendable, but
is not made provision that the
people approve the change suggest
ed"
These two territories have been
seeking admission for years as states
Of the Union, but their every effort
has been thwarted on technical
pleas by the dominant power, which
is opposed to the admission of two
Democratic states to the Union.
However, these territories will not
be permitted to remain much longer
from the enjoyment of state rights,
at least to the extent of such rights
and privileges have not been alb
sorbed by the Capitalization of
power at Washingtn through the|
domination of Republican authority.
In exercising the power of his
veto President Taft has not escaped
criticism. He has not challenged thel
constitutionality of the demands of
these states to admission into the
Union because of the features ap-
proved by the people. Such is thei
recall of judges. 1t would seem that
his objection is more in a sense of
personal antagonism than on sub
stantial and reasonable opposition.
In this action, which is viewed by
millions of the citizens of the United
States as arbitrary, President Taft
will soon realize that he has not |
benefited the cause of the Republic
cans by the exercise of his veto
against Arizona and New Mexico.

SO-called Homes.

Dodson Times: There are many
so-called homes that do not deserve
the name at all. Home means COM
fort, but when we have it fixed up.
so deliberately that we must sit in
the garnet or in the back yard to.
genuinely enjoy ourselves, then it IS
high time we make a change and
turn out the too-good-to-use artl--
cles and substitute for them real
homely things that we can enjoy ev--
cry day of the year and every mo-
ment of the day.

An Election Ref.

New Orleans States: Mr.. Henry Vi
not, 1886 Florida street, offered to
bet 500 Thursday afternoon that
Judge Luther Hall, candidate. for
governor on the Good Government
League ticket, would carry the Sew
enth Ward in this city. The bet was
taken up by Mr.. E. J. Flynn, the
Canal street photographer, on one
condition--that Aswell was not to
figure in the matter. 1t was wit
messed by Mr.. Walter Streetly, Mr..
Milton Kelly and Mr.. Fred Sintes.
Mr.. Streetly is the stakeholder.

Bob Ewing. Heavyweight.

Peoples Democrat: Bob Ewing,
the heavyweight ward boss of New
Orleans, thinks Aswell should be
governor because he Ewing is
supportin him. The other sixteen
ward bosses of New Orleans think
Michel should be governor because
Ewing is the only boss opposing
their candidate, but there is one
thing that all the New Orleans ward
losses are agreed on and that is that
Judge Hall should not be elected as
none of them are in touch with him.

THE WILSON BOOM
Launched at Austin, Texas, With
Enthusiasm - Facti0naliStS Laid
Aside Differences and Cheered
Justify for the New Jersey Man.

An Austin, Texas, dispatch says:
All factions of the Texas Democracy
and all sections of the State were
represented at the formation OF the
Woodrow Wilson State Democratic
League of Texas in Austin.
Nearly 200 Democrats, most OF
them representative men OF their
various communities, attended the
initial meeting in the parlors of the
Driskill hotel. They eheered every
reference made to the Governor of
New Jersey and predictions that the
Wilson movement in Texas is "a
prairie fire" were greeted with
marked demonstrations.
Prohibitionists and anti-prohibi-
tionists forgot their differences and
Bailey and anti-Bailey men frater-
nized joyfully together in the inter-
est of the man all of them want to
see elected President of the United
States.
Thomas II. Ball, chairman of the
statewide prohibition organization,
Judge James H. Robertson, who pre-
sided over the Fort Worth anti
statewide convention, authorized
Col. 0. e. Holt of Houston to sign
their names to the roster of the Will
son league. 1t was proudly boosted
by men present that for once all
warning elements in Texas politics
were united.
Among those who participated in
the two hours conference were fully
forty members of the Legislature.
Dozens of them telephoned their re-
grets and asked to be given oppor-
tunlty to aid the movement in ey-
cry way possible.
Following are the officers of the
league, agreed upon after much dis
cusslon both iii committee and on
the floor: President, Thomas B. Love
OF Dallas; vice presidents. T. w.
Gregory OF Austin and O. T. Holt of
Houston; secretary George d. Arm
stead OF San Antnio; treasurer.
Roger Roderdeau of Austin. These
together with the following
constitute an executive committee
OF eleven: Judge Cato Sells of Gle
burne, W. L. Bartholomew of San
Clarence E. Gilmore of Wills
Point, Col. R. M. Wynne of Fort
Worth and A. R. McCullum of Waco
AS provided for in resolutions
adopted, the executive committee ;s
TO form state committee composed
Of one from each senatorial district
Of the state, and they in turn will
enect county and precinct orpam-
cations throughout Texas. Judge
Cato Sells was made chairman Of
the executive committee. 1t is ex-
pected the committee will meet n
Austin again at the call of the chair
man during the last week in An.
gust. A formal and pressing invita-
lion to Governor Wilson to attend
The State Fair at Dallas was extend
ed. 1t is expected Governor Wilson
will accept the invitation.

PeIlagra is not hereditary. pella-

dence points to the sand fly" as the
agent responsible for the transmits
sion of pellagra to human subjects

nosis of DR.. Sanbon. 1t is consoling,
indeed comforting, to be informed
that pellagra is not contracted from
corn meal or corn bread, nor from
germs. 1t is not infectious, nor cpl
demic; nor is it confined to the poor
devils who eat bread made of corn
meal. s'ft@.

0LD FOSSIL IVORY
From Alaska is a curlo, a Souvenir
 And an Ornament

The Interest shown by the tourist in the various souvenirs is greater in regard to the Fossil Ivory than any other specimen of curios which are offered for sale by the numerous stores in the town of Alaska.
 Aside from its beauty as an orna ment, surrounded as it is with the gold nuggets, natural la shape and color, the interest seems to be en- hanced by the fact that the Ivory is thousands upon thousands of years old.
 There are three kinds of ivory found in Alaska-Mammoth, Mastodon and Walrus.
 The Mammoth and Mastodon, pre- historic animals, CaccOrding to our scientists) lived a hundred thousand years ago, and today is found in the ground by the natives, on the shores of the Arctic Ocean, Boring Sea and the North Pacific Ocean, and occas- ionally by miners in shafts and drifts, The tossilized coloring is caused by minerals contained in the earth, where it had laid buried for thousands of years.
