The Phelps-Dodge company of Bis bee, owners of the Fl Paso & South westesrn railroad and one of the rich est corporations in this country, on Christmas. day presented the citizens of Tucson with $6O,OOO for the build ing of Young Mems Christian Associ- ation home.

 Judge William F. Cooper said: "It is fine. Tucson appreciates the spir- it of the gift"

There was a time when the state of Connecticut thought it proper to in- flict the death penalty for fourteen diff ferent crimes, but she has learned to get along on less now, and imposes the death penalty only in two instan- ces-wanton murder and high treason.
 Three of the states-Maine, Rhode Island and Wisconsin-have been get ting along very nicely for number of years without any legalized mur- dering. The world is growing better
 Less than a hundred years ago Eng land had 222 crimes catalogued which called for the death penalty. In the majority of these cases hanging was considered sufficient as punishment, but there were several in the list that called for something more classy drawing and Quartering, burning at the stake, boiling in oil, and the like. l believe she still inflicts the death penalty for all but 220 of these or lenses. Surely the world is growing better.
 Crime has 8 strong tendency to be get crime, and capital punishment, or legalized murder, has larger influ- ence for evil in this respect than does unlawful murder for it goes unQues- toned, uncriticised and unrebuked.
 When an individual takes the life of a fellow creature, 1t is usually done in moment of frenzy or ungovernable passion, whereas, when the state akes a human life, it is always with he coldest calculation and with the most careful and deliberate attention to the details When an individual is placed on trial for murder, the indict- ment always designates the offense as being a "crime against the peace and dignity of the state"-which means the people-and in order to bring about peace and to heal sore ly-wounded dignity, the state-which still means the people-assumes the role of murderer In turn and takes the life of the individual.
 It is a bad example to be set by the state-or, the people, if you please for, unquestionably, it has demoraliz- ing and depraving influence upon every individual that goes to make up our social fabric. It is my under standing that the laws of all the states exclude the butcher from jury duty in a murder trial. Why is this? Sim

NARROW ESCAPE
 FROM DEATH

The Douglas International tells of the remarkable accident which befeh Sam Feeney, who is in the employ ot the E. F. & s. w., at their pump house in Douglas, and a we'll known Cochise county resident. By some means his blouse became entangled on the pump shaft, which is about three or four feet from the floor, and in an instant he was swirling about at terrific rate of speed, his feet striking the floor with great force and lightninglike rapidity.
 Luckily, the mans helper was pres ent and had the present of mind to shut off the motor and rescue Feeney, who at the time was unconscious and thought to be dead, as he had whirled with the pump shaft no less than 100 times.
 He was hurried to the Calumet hos pital and soon restored to conscious ness, when it was discovered that hc had suffered a fracture of one rib and received some severe cuts and bruises, but none that need be fatal
 The velocity with which the man turned on the shaft may be judged from the fact that his feet hitting the floor fairly knocked the heels off his shoes and literally demolished the soles

 The Tucson Citizen says:
 "That everyone in Tucson appreci- ates the $6O,OO0 Christmas present of the El Paso & Southwestern to Tue son, in the form of a Y. M. c. A. building to be erected here, there is little cause to doubt It is a splendid gift, worthy of the donors, and ac- ceptable to the recipients.
 'The gift, made in recognition of the friendly offices of Tucson's citI- zens in raising large sum of money for the railroads right of way through Tucson, and at a time when large sums of money were not particularly easy to secure here or elsewhere, now shows the deep appreciation of the Phelps-Dodge company for Tucson g attitude, and that appreciation is most Httingly expressed.

instance of the injury to the poor

There are practically no sales of
coal land now because the policy
of the government has forced the
prices up to $50 and 5000 an
acre. No new coal fields are get
ting into the hands of the people
who will develop them. The re-
suit is that those who now operate
coal mines are in virtual monopoly
of the coal business of this state

nominee for Governor, came to

He worked there for a year and a

questions and interests, his distin-

public welfare must of necessity win
for him the recognition and success
he has attained in the law. When his
