UNDOUBTEDLY A SUICIDE

The Globe Silver Belt seems to
think that j. C. Cheairs. who COM
mitted suicide at a local hotel here
Friday morning, was shot and killed
by some one secreted in his room.
The strange verdict of the coroner's
jury stating that "Cheairs came to
his death by gunshot wound in
the head inflicted by himself or
parties unknown" may he the
foundation for the stories published
in the Silver Belt Saturday and Sun
day.
The facts in the matter point so
strongly to the theory of suicide
that it is impossible for anyone here
to believe otherwise. Since Cheairs'
death it has been developed that he
purchased the gun in Globe the day
before he left for Stafford and that
he has been at times much depressed
in spirits.
1t is hard for anyone to tell just
why Cheairs killed himself. From
reports from Globe he has been do
ing things lately in business way
entirely different from his previous
methods and strange enough to be
commented upon now that he has
taken his own life, and impressive
enough for one to believe that he
had been planning his own destruc-
ton for some time. The Silver Belt
could very easily ascertain these
facts and clear up any doubts that
may exist in the minds of Cheairs'
friends.
One thing is certain and that is
Cheairs killed himself. 1t may be
that he did it accidentally, which is
a charitable view of the case. or
that he did so Intentionally. To say
that he was shot by some one Sc
creted in his room is impossible of
belief, for the reason that no man
could have committed the crime
without being seen by two men who
heard the shot and were immediate
ly on the scene.
1t was so plainly case of suicide
that the verdict of the coroner's
jury was great surprise to every
one who heard or read it.
Its vagueness proved nothing ex-
cept that the man was killed in his
own room in the hotel and has not
been considered important enough
for the officers of the law to make
an investigation.

BOX CANYON OPENED

According to the news from Wash
ington the San Carlos box canyon
will be opened to the railroads as
soon as the decision of the Secretary
of the Interior is promulgated in
September. The decision gives the
right to passageway through the
canyon to any railroad, thus giving
no particular road a monopoly of
the use of the canyon.
The Southern Pacific Co. has been
trying for years to get permission
to build through the box canyon on
the low line, which gives the best
and most economical grade for the
continuation of its trunk system
down the ella valley and through
the canyon to Phoenix and Cali
fornia. Now that the canyon will
be opened to the railroads, the
Southern Pacific will undoubtedly
be the first road to build through
the canyon, in which case its main
line will come down the valley.
To be on the main line Of great
trapscontinental railway system will
be an advantage to the people of
this valley that can hardly be real
lied now, but once the road is es-
tablished the many benefits that
will be derived will soon be appar-
ent. Very few people coming west
through southern New Mexico and
southern Arizona have any know
edge of the garden spot lying only a
few miles north of Bowie. and when
once this great transformation from
the dreary desert to the green fields
of the ella valley burst in view, the
surprise is an enjoyable one and
there will be many who will want
to stop off, for nowhere on Gods
green footstool will they find eli.
mate so good and SO beneficial to
health as we enjoy in the ella valley.

A Beautiful Custom

We aretold that the ancient Jew.
ish nation had. among other wise
customs, jubilee that took place
once in so years, when all debts were
cancelled and all scores wiped out.
According to the command of Moses
the beginning of this jubilee was an
nounced by the sound of loud trum'
pet, and then, 50 runs the chronicle,
there was rejoicing throughout
all the land"
To many of us this would seem a
beautiful custom, beautiful enough,
in fact, to occur annually instead OF
twice in the century, and in all re-
spects fit occasion for widespread
rejoicing. But would the entire
community take part in that rejoic-
ing? Would not the heart of the
money lender sink within him at the
first notes of the trumpet blast?
Would the boarding house lanl!ady's
spirits brighten at the spectacle Of
her delinquent boarders' happiness?
Would the saloon keeper make merry
over his broken slate and the dry
goods merchant consider with new
pride and delight the number of his
charge customers" and the amount
of their bill?
The jubilee idea, no matter how
agreeable it may sound in the ears
of the impecunious, would not suit
modern conditions. 1t would mean
the complete withdrawal of all credit
for at least 40 years previous to the
blowing of the warning trumpet.

Senator Bailey has resigned from
the Senate Committee on Privileges
and Elections. While he is in the
resigning Mood. it would be a good
idea for him to resign as United
States senator, and in so doing al
low Texas to send a man to the
Senate who is in sympathy with the
people and honest enough to work
for their interests. With Bailey
still in the Senate, the people of
Texas will continue to be misrepre.
sented, though the corporations and
Lorimer can still keep him as their
friend.

wees CASE HEARD BY
 BOARD OF EXAMINERS
Matter Taken Under Adviserent For
 Later Decision.
WgE7ss :<iA --

The charges brought against Clar- ence Wiggs, principal of the Duncan school by patrons of the district, were heard yesterday by the territorial board of examiners and the case was taken under advisement. There will be no decision rendered for a day or two, probably not before Monday.
 The charges were that the defen- dant had been guilty of ungentlemanly and immoral conduct toward the lar ger girls in the school, to the extent at least of giving lectures that school children should not hear, and practic- ing unseemly familiarities. In one in stance it was charged that he had been seen riding in a buggy with a member of his school sitting in his lap, though it was brought out in tes- timony that Mrs. Wiggs was also a member of the party in the buggy. The charges were set for hearing yes terday morning at 10 o'clock but the hearing did not begin until 1 P. NJ. for the reason that one member of tne board, Prof. J. D. Loper, superinten- dent of the Phoenix schools, had a prior engagement with his board of trustees in the forenoon. The other members of the board are w w. Me Neff and Kirke T. Moore. territorial school superintendent, acting as chair man.
 The hearing lasted from l to 6 P. M Attorney General John B. Wright of Tucson was present in an advisory capacity and John R. Hampton of n1r.f, ,ss among whom were J. w. Aker the school superintendent of Greenlee county. Judge Waters of Clifton was present as counsel for the defendant and was assisted by w. M. Burke of the Anti saloon league. John Speer was present as a witness for the de- fendant. Numerous witnesses were heard among those for the complain ants being Mir. Aker, Miss Forest Stew art and Miss Esther Chiffon, who by their verbal testimony verified the facts set forth in their previously type written affidavits. MT. Wiggs took the stand in his own defense making a general denial of the charges and of many of the allegations of the wit nesses, as to facts and incidents.
 After the taking of testimony was concluded, the case was argued by counsel for both sides, and taken under advisement. The contention of the de fense is that the filing of charges is merely a matter of persecution; that Wiggs was a central figure in fighting the saloon element in the late local option campaign and that that ele- ment is now retaliating by an effort to defame the character of the school teacher.

 Dear MT .Welch:
 It so happens that my attention was attracted to coffee culture some little time ago, especially with reference to the possibilities of cultivating it along the Colorado river. find that arabian coffee grows in hilly regions where, occasionally light frosts are known These regions also are subtrOpical and arid in character so that our own Southwest would seem to include To- calities favorable to its culture.
 These facts being taken into consid- eration I have thought that it would be worth while to undertake experi- ments with coffee in southern AriZo- ma, although of course We have abso- lutely no direct experience with the subject in this region upon which to base definite expectations. We have listed coffee as one of the subjects with which to take up work next spring.
 You can obtain an interesting ar ticle on coffee Arabica, dated 1909, by addressing the bureau of American re- publics, Washington. D. C.. which has the article for distribution.
 I am very glad to have your in quiries as I appreciate the value of suggestions coming from agencies in terested in the development of our country.
 Yours very truly.

imagine that they can trifle with public sentiment will by and by learn their mistake, to their own discom- future.
 We notice in sundry democratic papers, of the organ variety. a dis position to evade this question, and there is an unquestionable desire by the professional politicians to evade it. But it cannot be evaded. It is a practical question, and a practical question of the present moment.
 Within a few days the nominations of candidates for the legislature will be closed The primary elections will be held on october 24, and at those elections in the several counties the candidates of the various parties will be placed in the field for the legis- lature
 And it cannot be too emphatically stated now, that any candidate for the legislature, whether he be re- publican, a democrat or q socialist. who tries to shuffle and evade ans wering the question as to whether he will obey the verdict of the people as registered at the general election for United States senators will deserve to be driven from the field before election, followed by the contempt of all honest citizens.

THE MASTERY OVER PROPERTY

Since the advent of civilization the outgrowth of property has been SC immense, its forms so diversified, its uses so expanding and its manage ment so intelligent in the interests of its owners, that it has become. or the part of the people, an unman- ageable power. The human mind stands bewildered in the presence oi its own creation. The time will come nevertheless. when human intelli- gence will rise to the mastery over property, and define the relations oi the state to the property it protects as well as the obligation and the limits of the rights of its owners The interests of society are para mount to individual interests and the two must be brought into just and harmonious relations.-"Ancient So- ciety," by Lewis H. Morgan.

Rearettable Bad Temper.

The contest between the Hon. I"Gwp" Hunt and the Hon. Tom Weedin for the democratic nomina-
 ton for governor is waxing so warm that a weather forecaster would be justified in sending out signals of an extraordinary hot wave Accompanied by severe electrical dis turbances. Strange as it may seem,
 this contest apepars to be hotter in MT Hunts own county of Gila than anywhere else, although the tempera- tuure is steadily rising in all the counties. We have had several re- ports to the effect that MT. Hunt is Unusually peevish, and we have to
 say that under the circumstances some degree of temper on his part lis eXcusable He had right to lexpect that his own county, at least.
 would manifest more friendly interest | in his candidacy than has been of
 fered in evidence. One of the re- lsults of the hot fight in Gila is noted in the arrest of MT. Hunts editor for
 criminal libel.
 | There are three democratic papers
 at Globe Ghe same as at PhOeniX),
 and the democratic brethren of the
 press at Globe are unable to dwell together in unity (there is the same
 lack of unity at PhoeniX), all because they are unable to view the re-
 spective merits of Hunt and Weedin
 from the same standpoint. The
 Silver Belt and the Globe Democrat
 are advocating the candidacy of
 Weedin. The Globe, the ownership
 of which is credited to Hunt, is of course advocating the nomination of Hunt The editor of the Globe Is | the Hon. Mike Rice, whom We have Ithe pleasure of knowing as one of the mildest tempered men imagin- able. That he has been led to write pieces that are so fierce as to be
  lsurprising. We can account for his ferocity only on the supposition that MT Hunts temper has been so ''riled" that he has given orders to MT. Rice to write pieces that are contrary to the gentle spirit of the Hon. Mike. Nor does MT. Hunt confine his Journalistic warfare to Gila county. He
 has another organ, published at Tue son. under the name of "Voice of the People" The Tucson publication makes a speciality of purporting to represent organized labor. It is ed- ited by a soldier of fortune named
 Blghton, who some time ago was editor of a republican paper at Bis cording to his own explanation, was for a time on the crest of a wave of prosperity because of his ability to sell wireless telegraph" stock to the credulous. The BlightOn sheet is even more violent than the Hunt organ at Globe in advocating the
 candidacy of Hunt (and of Ives for senator. and Winsor for congress) and devotes a considerable portion of its space each week to abuse of Weedin. We are assured by the Hunt organ at Tucson that MT. Weedin is the lcandidate of "The Beast" whatever
 that is, and sundry names are applied to MT. Weedin which are decidedly
 unpretty.
 All of which adds gaiety to an al- ready interesting situation"
