REPUBLICAN DISCORD.

Some'very disquieting information
comes from Nashville to the effect
that there is brewing very decided
old guard come back" in the
ranks of the purified republican
hierarchy set up during the bloom
ing days Of the mortal uplift in 1910.
There appear to be lot of republi-
cans who are baking because the
present control sees more virtue in
rewarding an independent democrat
than in honoring an o!d-time loyal
republican. 1t has all come out
since the election of the Hon. Tom
Taylor to be state treasurer. 1t
transpires that the reelection of
State Treasurer Folk was a part of
the virtuous trade made by the flu
sionists and the " old guard " refuse
to have it that way. 1t is just as bad
to trade in official patronage to get
votes as it is to get them with
money, is coming to be proposition
agreed to by the people.
The Hon. Tom Taylor has lots of
friends and these friends are resent
ing the abuse the fusion machine is
heaping on the senators and repres-
entatives who voted for him. AS a
result of all this there is to be
great convention of the old guard
to be held at Nashville, to which it
is said neither Governor Hooper nor
MIR. Newell Sanders will be invited.
That convention is going to be a
most interesting affair and it is stated
that some of the secrets of the fusion
compact are going to be put in at
tractive form for publication and the
beautiful scheme of swiping the pro-
hibition idea for vot1-getting pur-
poses will be exposed, as a result of
which a number of distinguished
gentlemen are going to lose their
halos.
There isn't the slightest doubt of
the tremendous possibilities for trou-
Bile available to the real, live " old
guard " if he chooses to go into the
insurging business, and we are given
to understand that there are some
very virile fellows in the ranks who
are sharpening up their trusty blades
for blood. '-Chattanooga Times.

NO CITIZENSHIP FOR
DEALERS IN LIQUOR

Memphis, Feb. I3.-Saloonkeep-
ers, bartenders and all Others whose
business is to sell intoxicants in Ten
nessee were declared ineligible to
citizenship in the United States in a
ruling announced by Federal Judge
John E. Mccall.
Summarizing, Judge Mccall said :
No man can support the constitu-
ton of the United States and of the
state of Tennessee and uphold the
laws of both, as they are required to
do under oath in securing naturaliza-
ton papers, and at the same time
engage in the unlawful vocation of
selling liquor in state where its
sale is prohibited by law"
For this reason, Judge Mccall re-
fused the petitions of Filippi Vanni,
an Italian, and George Congios, a
Greek. The former, it was shown,
was engaged as bartender and the
latter in the general sale Of liquor.
Others whose means of livelihood
were said to be similar Immediately
withdrew their petitions.

PROF. DYER.

The senate was quite right in turning
down the governors appointment Of
Prof. Gus Dyer to be superintendent
of public instruction. The appoint
ment was, of course, purely political.
we do not say partisan-for it need
hardly be said that Prof. Dyer would
not have been thought of if, instead of
having been an active campaigner for
Governor Hooper, he had remained a
regular democrat, which he formerly
professed to be. If Governor Hooper
had reaappointed Professor Jones, who
has made wonderful record in the
office, he would have successfully es-
tablished his claim that political con-
siderations should not influence his
appointments. Prof Dyer was turned
down, also for political reasons, for
while he is not known for any expe-
renee he has had in school manage
ment, he is a successful instructor. In
ordinary circumstances his selection
would have been confirmed.
The only way Governor Hooper can
keep the schools out of politics is to
name q strong, high-minded and ex-
perienced republican. If he can't find
1ne he can find Irregular" democrat
TO fill the bill.-Chattanooga Times.

OPPOSITION IN SENATE
Gov. Hooper May Pot 1t Up To
Legislative Branch At No
Very Distant Date

| Nashville, Feb. 13.-For some
days members of the state senate
and others have been looking for
appointment from the governors
office. 1t has been reported for
the past week that Gov. Hooper
would Immediately send in for
confirmation of the senate the
appointment of Prof. G.. w. Dyer,
of Vanderbilt University, as SUI
perintendent Of public instruction
to succeed Prof. K. L. Jones, the
incumbent. So far, however, no
appointments have been sent to
the senate by the governor, except
those of acknowledgement and
state factory and shop inspector,
both of which have been unani-
mously confirmed.
In connection with the expected
appointment of Prof. Dyer, it has
been reported that the senate
would refuse to confirm. The
upper house of the general assem-
bly, is controlled by the regular
democrats who are known to en-
terrain no very friendly political
feelings toward Prof. Dyer be-
cause of the active and effective
part he took in the recent state
campaigns, he being among the
most prominent independent dem
ocratic speakers on the stump, es-
pecially in the Judiciary campaign
last summer, and then in the GU
bernatorial campaign of the early
fall. Some regulars in the senate
have stated they would oppose
the confirmation of Prof. Dyer.
This situation adds to the inter-
est felt in the appointment,
While Gov. Hooper has made
no statement concerning his pur-
pose in the premises, the general
belief that he will soon appoint
Prof. Dyer and put his name up
to the senate is doubtless the re-
suit of the well-founded belief
that the governor prefers Prof.
Dyer for his position, What he
will do in the premises, however,
remains to be seen.

MAYNARD CHILDREN
WILL Be LOOKED AFTER

The ministers association and
board of education met yesterday
afternoon in the Munsey Memoir
al church to discuss the problem
of getting the children in school
and stop the culture of youthful
criminals. The deplorable trag-
edy few days ago in the school
room that resulted in the shoot
ing of the principal by a 14-year-
old student was discussed. 1t
was decided to have a joint meet
ing of representatives from Lime
stone and Jonesboro in this city
on March 6 and take steps to
have bills presented to the legis-
lature to re-enact the compulsory
school law for this county, get
authority for bond issue to pro-
vide a reform school and farm
and create a juvenile court.
The Comet is under the i'm
preston that we now have
juvenile court statute, but it has
been useless because there was no
reform school to which the chill
dren could be sent. The compul-
sorry school law apply to this
county unless cut out by popula-
ton figures.

Ter and Mesa
1t is given out now, though it can
not be said to be from official sources,
that the line will in the near future
be extended from the Pinal county
line across a portion Of the Pima In
dian reservation, and will connect with
the main line of the Maricopa q Phoe-
nix road, this side of the ella river
bridge. The supposition that the road
would be extended directly to Casa
Grande, is probably not justified. The
expense of another bridge across the
ella is too great. At that point where
it would be necessary to cross, the diff
ficulties of constructing a bridge are
great. The channel changes 50 often
that a structure two miles long would
be necessary. and even at that there
would be many beds of quicksand en-
countered. The building Of six or sew
en- miles of additional track Will carry
the Chandler road to a point on the
Maricopa line near the present bridge.
This line would pass through section
of land on the reservation that is al
ready surveyed for the purpose, il is
pretty generally understood, # throw
ing it open to settlement. In the event
that the connection is made in the
manner above outlined, it is probable
that all passenger trains running be-
tween Maricopa & Phoenix would
come and go by way of Mesa and the
town of Chandler This would do
away with the local passenger service
between Mesa and the capital, but
would give fully as good service to the
people. 1t is planned to erect a tour
ist hotel at Chandler that will cost not
less than 100000. and in thai event
through connection with the main line
would be necessity. The difference
in time between Phoenix and Maricopa
over the old line and the Chandler line
would not be over thirty minutes in
favor of the former

tain one and quarter acres of land to
the lot There are eight lots to the
block. each block containing ten acres.
Many Of these lots have been divided
into lots of fifty feet frontage, some of
them twenty-five feet frontage, and
thus there are in some instances seVe-
raj families residing on what was orig
inally one lot. For example, block SO.
bounded by HILBERT, Pomerov. East
First and East Second streets, original
~ containing eight lots. has been sub
divided by the wilbur Realty Co. into
forty-one lots. The owners of these
lots will be shown on the new map.

will also be inclued in the map, making
it one of great value as a directory of
