HAwLEY's MONEY

The death of Edwin Hawley, the railroad magnate, at the comparatively early age of 6i, adds another Co the list of captains of industry who have roken down before their time.
 At first thought, Mir. lIawley might oe regarded as a hum.dum person. ality, with his hermit like devotion to business, and consequent avoidance of social life. But his daily committing back and forth from the New York suburbs, iostling elbows with an army of clerks and salespeople. has n certain air of democracy which few of our men of great wealth suggest.
 To us the most striking aspect of Hawley's career is not the indomit. able tenacity that gave him SO big n grip on the business world. Rather it Is the negative side of his life, the things his money could not or did not buy.
 Hawiey's premature death followed n long period of nervous indigestion. Any of us who ever had any trouble with that down trodden creature, the human stomach, know how uncom. fortable this old worm can make a human being when once he turns.
 Years ago dyspepsia was common. The libraries of professional and busi. ness people commonly had books of medical advice, telling how to jolly along this obstinate member There were elaborate theories of diet and doctoring, by which the contrary eritter was to be drilled into har. ness.
 But nowadays, does anyone have dyspepsia any morei The working. man never had it much. because his manner of life forbids it. People who live sedentary lives have largely learned that this trouble is not eur. able by blue pills and dreary dieting, hut by active energetic exercise out doors. Most of them have learned how to apply the cure.
 Bnt here is the pathetic ease of Hawley' with his s5o,OOo,ooO, able to buy railroads wholesale, but who failed to acquire that simple gift in the reach of everyone who can walk, play golf, drive an automobile, or ride bicycle-a normal stomach.
 When we go shopping in the great marts of life, who would not rather buy good stomach than a railroad. even at the same pricei

THEY SHOULD BE HAPPY

Our Democratic friends who have been chafing under the collar in their avidity to line up at the public trough. and have been excoriating President Taft because the statehood proclamation will be signed tomor. row instead of yesterday, should at least be reasonably consistent. Oregon was admitted as state on February l4, 1859, and has not the entire state. hood government for Arizona becn erected on the Oregon plan'
 AS matter of fact. there never was any valid reason for believing that Arizona would be admitted on February l2. Governor Sloan sub. mitted suggestion to the President that the proc lamation issue on that date. and every Democratic job. chaser in the Territory immediately jumped at the conclusion that Lin. eoln's birthday would be admission day, and the svaricious Phoenix boost. CTS went so far as to make plans for a big celebration. But there has not been the slightest information from Washington to justify such hope or such presumption. On the contrary, President Taft informed Governor Sloan in n letter received by the lat. ter last Thursday that he would be m New York on Monday.
 Certainly. the admirers of the "Oregon plan" ought to feel that their cup of joy is running over, by reason of the change in dates, and no one else should care tinkcr's imnfeention.

FRANK BACELY IS KILLED IN
 MINE Runaway Skip Respon- sibIe For Death of We'll Known Miner
Seven Sticks of Dynamite Not Exploded in Bot-
 tom of Shaft
(From Tuesday,s Dailyl


 Frank Bagley met with a shocking death at the Gold Star mine near Skull Valley on Sunday afternoon at about o'clock, when the brake on the gasoline engine refused to work while the skip was being lowered in the main shaft. Particulars of the sad acciden. were learned yesterday from Richard lIoskins, who was work ing with the deceased at the time, and whose escape from a similar fate was remarkable. MT. Hoskins states that he and Mir. Bagley were the only two miners in the bottom of the shaft that was 3l9 feet deep, and were preparing Co load the remaining two holes. and the skip was being lowered to take them up after firing the six holes.
 Having their attention attracted by the unusual sound above. together with the streaks of fire seen on the rails. with the instinct that the skip had run away, MT. Bagley dropped to the footwal of the shaft, while Mir. Iioskins hugged the side of the shaft. In an instant the skip came crashing to the bottom, passing over the body of MT. Bagley, who was a few feet Lnta L.. AS hA nI .S of line of the grade. With the ter. rife impact that followed when the skip struck the hanging wall. it re. bounded, and the full force struck the deceased on the head and on the back. He was killed instantly, never uttering word.
 MT. Hoskins states that the ear passed within three inches of his body, and had he stood in any other position he would have been killed outright. To add to his narrow es. cape from death, there were seven sticks of giant powder lying in the shaft to he placed in the two holes to be fired, but which were not disturb cd by the skip, as unreasonable as it may appear.
 MT. Bagley was one of the best known miners of this county, and was universally popular He had been a resident of this section for over twenty years, enjoying splen. did name as a citizen, and was re. garded as very industrious and capable miner. His death has occas. toned many expressions of regret. His remains were brought to the city yes tcrday and are at Ruffner's to be prepared for burial. He was aged about t6 years.

P0 0LIT |C.AL ARENA OF ARIZONA
 ACTIVE
Trouble Experienced In Finding Men To
 Fill Offices

PHOENIX, Ariz, Feb. i2.-win the approach of statehood, the qu.,. ton of appointments looms large in the horizon of the political arena ss Arizona. And it seems probable there will be fur flying within the ne., few days. l-.,t
 George W. P. Hunt will he in bad with lot of people inside the mex, month. The new governor is already accused of using the double cross. He was out strong in favor of Joseph Dillon, former chairman of the State Democratic committed, for the posi-. tion Of clerk of the Supreme court. Dillon was said to be a strong eandi. date and it is said he wants the place. However, the governor elect soon switched and has endorsed a Cochise man.
 However. Frank DeSousa is the one best bet as he has the endorse. ment of the strongest men in the ter. ritory. A clean young Democrat with T record of having worked faithfully for his party, who is said to have the endorsement of two of the judges.
 Hunt is finding it hard enough to handle his own appointments. The mine inspector's job is going to be one of the plums. There is three. eornered split in the party at present. One of the strongest factors in the new party, n man from the north, who is assured of the presidency of the senate, M. G. Cunniff, is supporting Tom Marmont, Prescott man, while the governor is said to have his eye on a Cochise man. Another strong candidate is looming up in Gila and he is said to have the endorsement of n large number of strong Democrats. The labor federation has endorsed a candidate and the fight promises to- be pretty one.
 The speakership fight is still smoul' dering. Maricopa men feel they have a candidate that is more able than any man who has yet come out, but they fear the old cry, "Maricopa is grabbing everything"
 Lynch is the strongest figure in the race today but there are develop ments in store. Should some strong man come out with the endorsement of the Cochise delegation, he would have good chance to "cop the flag"
 Lynch is said to have been promis' ed the support of the entire Mari copa delegation by . couple members of the delegation and that there will be n change. is possible.
 Henry Ashurst stated when he was in Phoenix that he had not the slight est idea who his secretary would be. The man who gets the job must be n first class stenographer and have the other requirements which go to make up a successfully secretary for United States senator.
 The appointment of the commission who will decide "who's who" is creating considerable interest. Ben J. Barron, the former Globe publisher who has acted as clerk on the can wasting board, has become associated with 10 Corners in the enterprise and the book will be made wider in its scope than was at first intended
 The publishers not caring to as sume the responsibility of saying who was eligible to place in the book will have the question decided by board comprised of prominent Ari' zonans. Friends of the prominent men of the state will be asked to suggest the names of men they con sider entitled to a place in the book
