Tho worsh q the Bible.

II the Bible were not the most
worthful book in all the world,
the devil and his agents would
not have been trying no hard
during the past to destroy it. At
the present time they are doing
their utmost to weaken its ip.
tluence and effects upon all class.
"a. The devil and the bad men
never attempt to destroy a worth
less hook. They do not try to
damage a book which is partly
good and partly bad. It has
been through the right uses OF
the Bible that all true civilization
has come into existence, with it's
manifold benedcent institutions,
and their high order of achieve.
ments. The late and former
President Benjamin Harrison,
in an. address at a congress Of
Bible Societies, said: "The en-.
tire hope of human progress de-
pends upon the continually in
creasing influence of the Bible.
Take this book away from our
courts, where the criminal is
brought before the majesty OF
God; take it away from the homes
and the family; remove it from
our penitentiaries, from the des-
perate prisoners; take 1t away
from the sick chambers, where
there are souls that seek God and
comfort; yes take it away from
our schools and universities, and
place into the hands Of the grow
ing. up race, books Of science and
modern culture-wait q decennl.
um until the seed has grown up
you would fee from the horrors
Of degeneration which you would
be amazed at the depravity OF
mankind and the terrible selfish.
ness Man, destined to be ele-
waited to God. would he beastly.
Such wouli be- the end OF man.
kind II the Word OF Col should
disappear from the world"
These are calm. logical and con
elusive statements. Mr.. Harri.
son had a large and true appre.
cation of, the worth Of the Bible
to tho world as well as to indi-
viduals. All history shows that
where the Bible has not had place
and power inagiven community,
the moral condition Of the peo.
| pie has been Oh very low order
And rememhyr t b Q fact that
those men whose teachings are
leading the pappls to think that
the Bible IA untrustworthy, are
enemies Of good morals and OF

The great nnss Of the people
Of thiscOuntry are as blind as
bats az to the way national, and
often State legislation is indn-
enced in thousands Of devious
and unsuspected ways. One ofthe
ways often pract,ced, and with
which the people are not tamil.
lar, is the indirect bribing OF zen.
ators and REPRESENTA- ativ.s by per.
mitting their States or districts
to get appropriations far in ex-
cess OF their. legitimate deserts, in
return for their votes when. bad.
ly needed by the special interests
that are robbing the country for
some Of their particular meas
ures that the public never hear d
Of. The big interests and their
lobbyists know perfectly we'll
what men in both parts can be
relied upon in a pinch, and the
pinch il when their votes are
needed. When such men ne t
hints that tits time for them to
vote right, they never fail to
hatch up some excuse to hide the
real reasons, and when they get
their pay in appropriations that
their States or districts are not
entitled to and often do not need
at all, they make a great whoop
aboutwhat q wonderful influence
they have at Washington!
This encourages the idea that
it fs the business of Congressman
to gouge the government out OF
everything possible. This idea
exactly suits the big interests
that are continually robbing the
public, because the more money
that is lifted out OF the treasury
the bigger the cry will be for q
bigger tariff and the bigger the
tariff is the better their chances
to take money out ofthe pockets
Of the people. Back at home the
folks wonder at the power OF the
members Of this character q d
the newspapers write long artic-
les to prove that the men who
fhave such an abundance of this
influence with the powers that
te should I've rewnr1ed by more

PAROLE GRANTED
]. N. PEMBERTON

Governor Sloan has signed the
parole of +. n. Pemberton, now
serving time in the penitentiary.
His case is of general interest, as
he was under long sentence for
the crime of murder and is one in
which many are especially inter
ested because he was we'll known
and we'll liked in northern Arizo-
ma previous to the commission
of the crime. Indeed, his previ-
Gus good record afforded some
warrant for clemency i'll itself.
in. Pemberton, better known
as Pete Pemberton, was a dep
uty sheriff of Navajo county and
was regarded as fearless officer
he performing his duty with 6del-
ity. On one occasion he was as
sisting Sheriff Houck in the ar
rest of two bad men who gave re
sistance, and one of them would
have killed Sheriff Rouck had
not a fatal bullet sped from the
weapon of the deputy. The 9th
er robber was badly wounded
and captured by the sheriff and
is now serving a term in the pen
itentiary.
That was merely one incident
showing the character of man
Pemberton was, having fire.
quently faced his duty under fire
and never fiinching. Also he was
personally popularin the county
and highly regarded by most of
his acquaintance.
Even those who served on the
jury disliked to bring in the YER
dict because of their knowledge
of his previous good conduct and
his public service, as we'll as his
pleasing personality, and some
who were summoned as jurymen
publicly stated that they could
not serve on the case out of sym
pathy for the accused.
Strong petitions in the interest
of Pemberton were signed by
most of the jurymen who con-
victed him and by many of the
leading citizens of that county.
The good record of the prisoner
was testified to by the superin-
tendent, as we'll as his service for
the territory. since his con6ne-
ment, and the parole was recon-
mended by the board of control.
The usual terms were made, that
Pemberton refrain from liquor,
report to the superintendent ev-
cry three months and otherwise
conduct himself as good citizen
should. .-Phoenix Republican.
