MURDERERS ARE ENCOURAGED.

Seattles long list of undetected murderers, to say
year is simply astounding, and it shows how cheap
human life is held in this section of the country In
talking to man from British Columbia one day this
week he declared the records would bear him OUT that
Seattle and her immediate community have had more
wful murders within the past year than all Canada has
had in her history He then suggested that the principal
for Seattle having many bloody murders lies
in the fact that they not punished when they
convicted There is truth than poetry in the last
sentence whether not he correct in his first pro-
position. great many persons charged with murder
either go scott free draw very short sentence in
the state prison. and not long confined before petit
on is circulated for their pardon the ground that they
dying of consumption other disease Had
the red handed scoundre got his just deserts he would
have died of the hempen rope disease and by de-
grees, but by suden jerk Murders recklessly

go round walking arsenas ready shoot their fell
low the slightest provocaton knowing full we'll
that with little money he will be able hire the best
legal talent the country boasts Of who will all but in
crminae themselves get their client free and thereby
build up reputation of being able to the most
fragrant murderers from the gallows. We do not be-

murders may be in the British government

THE LAWYERS POLITICAL MISTAKE.

Washington's State Bar Association has made sad
mistake in singing out the DOGMA if you please, Of
socialism and declaring it be headed off, and to
drastic laws which will curb its further growth. the
resolution of the Association should be followed up the
that end the legislature will be asked to pass some
legislature would create law commission whose duty
it would be pass all proposed laws. Any move IN
that direction and the of Washington will So
calist one not that the voters would believe III
doctrines of Socialism, but to give the lawyers, who
represent rich clients and corporations to understand
they are not running things, at least if they
ming things they do they have in the past by
bribing the individual members of the legislature into
not passing measures considered by their clients vicious
The CRATER would be much opposed to the passage
of such law the preserver OF human Liberties because
it would take from them a lucrative source OF making
money the stngs of the various legislative sessions
The state of Washington it will be remembered, was
the banner Popuist state in 1896, and for other
reason than because Andrew Buregh the representa-
tive of the railroads of the state took the initiative at
the 1896 Everett convention by becoming radical
on the money question than did the state of Ohio, the
home of William Mckinley, who at the time was the
leading presidential candidate for the Republican nomna-
ton on the god bug ticket The people resented that
move on the part of Mr. Buregh by eectng every state
and county official from the Populis party, and while
the platform advocated by Bureigh finally adopted
by Congress- yet Republicans to this day boast OF hay
ing turned Buregh down. not because they believed IN
Popus but because they did not approve OF the cor
poratons running things. If another move is made
by the corporations such has been suggested by the
State Bar Association it will mean another overWhelm
ing defeat for the Republican party and place the Social
is Dartv in complete control of the various state and
county Offices Unless sadly mistaken you are
monkeying with the buzz saw

LAUR1ER FIGHTING FOR RECIPROCITY

Despite the fact that Congress has passed the rec1-
proctv act and the has been signed by the Pres
dent vet there is nothing certain OF it ever becoming
a law, as Premier Laurer has dissolved the Canadian
parliament and new election has been ordered which
will put the measure up the voters for rejection or
endorsement Manv of the Canadians or less
Jealous of the United States and especially the ones who
favor nothing that does emnate in London or is not
endorsed by leaders of England and England proper be-
ing more less opposed to reciprocity it may meet de-
feat at the polls when the next general election pulled
off It is argued by great many OF the leading think
ers of the United States that in reciprocity Canada has
everything gain and nothing to lose, while the cl-
zens of the United States have little if anything to gain
and much to ose at least for time to come and
it is very doubtful if the had been put to dl-
rect vote of the people in the United States it would
have been endorsed.

HE KICKED A NEGRO.

Owing to the heavy Negro vote it is probable that
Texas has voted down the prohibition amendment by
Majority of couple of thousand. The time when
Negro exercise his right of suffrage in the South
when the liquor question up and then the liquor
see that he Considering the large black vote
that had be contended with the result is encouraging
to the temperance cause:-South Bend Journal
1t is remarkable what big liars truhful people
In the state Of Taxes the Negro is as whole dis
franchsed and is permitted to exercise his right
of franchise on any occasion In every the South
where the prohibition question has been issue it
agreed by both sides that the Negro vote would not be
accepted and that he would have abide by whatever
a majority of the white people decided The editor of
the South Bend Journal is considered of the upright
men of the state and less friendly to the
American Negro and yet for selfish motives he saddles
the blame of the failure of prohibition in Texas on
people that given voice or vote IN the dispute
If the editor of the Journal had been the stump cam
paignng for the Republican party in presidential cleo
ton he would have taken the exact opposite view of the
Negro Texas and argued that the Republican nominee
should win because the Democrats had totally dstran-
chised the black man. but that would have been serving
the other side Of his selfish SELL In the states OF the
South the black man can not even qualify vote either
for or against the liquor question anything else in
which the state interested and knows that bet
ter than the editor of the Journal But another injustice
has been done the black in this connection. The
statistics of the Methodist Episcopal church, of which
the distinguished editor is member, show that fully 70
Der cent of the Negroes in the South favor and openly
work for prohibition. The above onslaught on the
Negro reminds us of the white fellow that got licked
in a mining camp by fellow miner and wanting ven
geance on some one and fearing to tackle white man,
hunted tip Chinaman and pounded his head into
ielly,-he Just had to lick somebody.

AN AGE OF GRAFTDOM.

So far the United States government is concerned
there is no doubt but that this is age of graft and

dispatches the mayor of Portland Oregon has dis
covered that the police department Of that city is ree
ing with graftdom and after short investigation the
part of the reform officials some fifty of the
members of the police force have either been fired out

case of the places mentioned above does the story
from all over, and the public official that does not
practice graft to be the exception and by
the rule To convict grafers in this country under the
circumstances would be out of the question: and
especially if the grafters will hang together

WAS TARO A LIBERTINE?

If it is finally proven that Taro the chauffeur who
was killed in his automobile last Saturday evening in
Seattle, by unknown man, was killed for having in
duced young girl of respectable family to go joy
riding with him, there will be little sympathy
wasted upon him. It is altogether too for
to go out arking with fourteen and sixteen year old
girls, and when a few of them get punished with the
death penalty by the rate protectors of the girls there
will be less of it done. Not long since heard of
mother trying to scall seemingly sixty years of
age who had called at her home in the capacity of
canvasser and while there engaged twelve year old girl
in conversation and finally walked up her and took
liberties with her person Had the been
cusomed to using fire there perhaps would have
been another dead in the city. We have no SYM
pathy pity for the ripe in years who will make
advances young girls, and think the father
brother protector of young girl who has been per-
suaded by some ripe in years to go out joy riding
with him in automobile is perfectly justified in shoot
ing the life of the scoundre wherever he finds him

The body of Belts Henderson

burial. Mr.. Henderson was one
of the old-time cow men of this
country and we'll and favorable
known. He met his death by
the falling of a horse which he was
riding. His family has made
Los Angeles their home for some
years. Mr. Henderson leaves r1any

gret his untimely death. He had
been a reader of the Arizonian

CHAMP CLARK SPEAKER
Washington Apr, 4.


The election of Champ Clark
as Speaker of the House of
Representatives by the entire
Democratic vote, marked the
fifth time upon which he has re-
ceived the unanimous endorsement t
of his party, and the first time
in history that a Democratic Re-
preventative has been the unani-
nous choice for the high office of
Speaker. While there is some
muttering of discomfort over the
way committee assignments have
been fixed up, the blame is in no
ways laid at the door of the new
Speaker, as the responsibility in
connection with this matter rests
with the Committee on ways and
Champ Clark is easily the
man of the hour in Democratic
councils, and his boom for the
Presidency is well under way.

]. A. Woods Loses

In the recent mandamus pro-
ceeding brought against school
superintendent J. A. Woods of
Graham County by District Attor-
ney, A. C. McAlister, to COMPEL
him to turn over the books of the
office to probate Judge Bunch the
writ was ordered issued by the
Supreme Court in Phoenix at it's
recent session.
This case grew out of the div
ision of Graham county which
left Graham a county of the sec
ond class, as such the duties of
school superintendent are~per-
formed by the probate judge or
in other words counties of the
second class have no school sup
erintendent. The contention of
Mr.. Woods was that Graham was
not a second class county as no
assessment had been made by
which it could be so declared.
The Court held otherwise.
This will settle the much COM
plicated problem that has been
bothering the schools teachers
and officials since the first of the
year in old Graham.

Family

For some time Mr.. and Mrs.
Bart Upton have been making
arrangements to leave Duncan;
some weeks ago they made a tour
Of southern Arizona looking for
a location, they have now dispos-

Mr.. Upton left last week for
Lowell, Arizona, where he will
go into business; the family will
follow within a few days.
Mr.. Upton has been citizen of
Duncan for some twenty years
or more; he is man whose word
is taken at par and his record for
square dealing is above reproach.
1t is with regret that we see him
leave and every person who has
expressed an opinion on the matt
er freely expresses the same feel
ing. The many friends he leaves
here will be more than pleased to
learn of his success in his new
home wherever that may be. He
has an excellent family who will
