A British subject has been sen fenced to a years imprisonment for circulating libel upon King George, and the fact has numerous aspects of interest.
 That royalty should apply to the courts for redress against a com moHer is not so notable a proceeding as that the commoner when found guilty of seriously impugning the character of the monarch should get of so lightly. In a day of greater royal prerogatives he would have been lucky to have escaped being hanged, drawn and quartered or locked up in the Tower for life. ac- cording to the usage of the time.

 The truth is this: Why should Parsons, Cuniff, Winsor, Akers, and a few other transformers of that class possess all of the virtues, all of the patriotism and loyalty to Ari- zona that we have within the con fines of the state?
 Gentlemen, the proposition is ridic' ulOus ;and as far as the Democrat is concerned, we have submitted to all of it that we will.
 We all want statehood; but this paper here and now declares, we would rather remain a territory tiil the end of doow than become state with this aggregation of tin horns and political outcasts in con troI of the sta'el
 The whole scheme is to build up rotton political party in Arizona, with Akers as it's leader. He hopes to become the Senator Bourne of Oregon, and Is discrediting the good citizenship of Arizona in his at tempt to reach that goal.

I know, personally. that We have been ap- preached by two advertising concerns with the offer that # s2J l,0p) was forthcoming from manufacturers of wool the agitation against Schedule K would be dropped, and the tables a, fixed in the Payne-ki4r.ch Tariff law would remain unchanged. in spite of what other reyisions of the tariff law will be made in tho near future
 Tt was pointed out to us by both these advertising concerns that for the sum mentioned certain editorial columns would be open to us, and that the matter would be so foreibly brought before the public that re vision of Schedule K would be an impossibiRty."
 Every honest newspaper in the coantry is interested in knowing the identity of the two advertising | arms alleged to be involved in the offer to bring about the debauehery of editorial columns in the interest of the woolen trust It will he noted that it is not implied that the mass of daily newspapers are venal, but that certain editorial columns are for sale. and these are power ful enough to influence the news paper policy of the country general. ly
 It is needless to say that fl those charges are true, and "eer tain editorial columns" have the wonderful power attributed to them it is simply because the newspapers in question now stand high in the estimation and confidence of the public whom they are willing to betray for money. and that it is high time for a complete and oper exposure of their veniality.1T

CAMERON HAS SPOKEN.

Delegate Ralph Cameron has in formed the people of Arizona or the real sentiment in Washington toward the constitution. and he re- ports that there is absolutely no hone of approval by the president in she event that the organic law reaches Washington. This report from Cameron agrees with all others that have come from both republi cans ana democrats in the nation al capital, but in some respects the spiniox of Cameron is given su- srene importance because of his position and the conditions which he faces.
 It will be remembered that if Delesate Cameron, in his positive declaration. printed elsewhere. is wreae. he would suffer personally and politically moro than any other man This statement needs no de tailed explanation. and its truth is Known to Cameron himself perhaps better than to others. In short Cameron could never afford to make the statements contained in his tel egram unless they were absolutely true. For this reason his version is and should be accepted as the final and convincing word on the sub ject.
 If the present constitution reaches Washington. statehood is dead for a long time to come.

RECALLING JUDGES.

A daily newspaper says Tt is intimated in certain quarters that President Taft and congress may decline to approve the proposed Ari- zona constitution because it con tains a provision for the recall of all elective officers. including judges. The contention, it appears. is that judges should be exempt
 But why? On what do these men feel that they are incorruptible and why are the people who elect them less likely to make serious mistakes in their eases than in those of gov 'ernors, legislators, treasurers. audi tors and other officials? The recall. properly safeguarded against abuse. is the most effective weapon for self protection that has yet been placed in the hands of the people. Why load it with blank cartridges?
 Just because the judge is referee The umpire should be protected from the mob in the grand stand who do not know foul tick" from a strike and cannot see the plate unless they sit directly back of the batter and then cannot judge the space between the knee and the shoulder.
