ABOUT THE STAR CHAMBER
(Coconino Sum-

The efforts of the state legislature to choke or restrain the press rep resentatives will bear it's fruit in due season. The press is a fine vehicle on which to ride to victory in matters of selfish and political interests, but when that same press desires to pub- fish the proceedings of the acts of of ficial and public servants, elected by, the people, to inform the people of the real meaning and trend of things, there seems to spring up at. once a sort of strangeness- -antipathy-aS it were, for so much publicity, and the efforts to suppress the activity of press representatives seems to incu- bate and hatch in short order. Con- sistency is such a rare jewel that most people don't even look for it any more.

THE PEOPLE ARE PATIENT
(Bisbee Review)


 Considering the general assum ption by candidates of both parties last fall, that the voters of Arizona were crazy for the restoration of the judicial re- call provision to the constitution, the legislature has approached this matter in very leisurely manner. There was some early show of haste and en- thusiasm but the legislature appears to have divided on the exact meaning of the word immediately. Some think it is synonymous with the term July 8, 1912" Other equally skilled philologists have produced unanswer- able authorities who declare it means the second Tuesday of November, 1912"
 Meanwhile the voters are unexcited, calm, self-contained and apparently in- different. As matter of fact, the pop ular demand for the recall of the ju dietary whatever the people may think of it, is purely imaginary. There has never been a statewide expression on the subject In the campaign ending with the election of delegates to the constitutional convention, the judicial recall was not discussed, we believe outside the counties of Gila and Yava- pal. In the Maricopa county demo- cratic convention the question of the recall of not only judges, but other of ficers was deliberately side tracked. When the recall provision, which was afterward made a part of the consti- tuition, was brought into the conven: tion, it was developed that majority of the delegates favored the exemp- tion of the judiciary and that would have been accomplished if the republi- can members had not chosen to play politics. While the proposition was pending, there were received many communications urging it's adoption, but they came generally from socialis- tic sources and numerically, the sign CTS were but as drope in the bucket in comparison with the whole number of voters.
 Thus, there has never been a popu- lar expression in favor of the recall of the judiciary. The result of the el- ection last December indicated noth- ing, for the legislative candidates of both parties, on their own motion, pledged themselves in favor of the submission of an amendment restoring 1 the provision whose elimination the president had required. But having voluntarily offered those pledges, tho not asked to do so, of course, the mem bers of the legislature are expected to submit the amendment, but we be- | lieve that the masses of the voters are indifferent as to the precise moment of submission and will be content with any definition of the word immediate i ly' that the legislature may agree up on.

AS TO CONNECTS VACATIONS
(El PaSo Times)

Governor Hunt, of Arizona appears to have gone clean daffy on the sub- ject of penitentiary reform. After devising plan of placing convicts on their honor, which has not worked out as expected, and after spending one night in a penitentiary cell, in or der to get the proper conception Of real penitentiary conditions, the gov ernor has sprung a new scheme of summer Ecation for Arizona convicts, to be spent in the mountain forests in pleasure and recreation. And there is where he is falling down on what is eminently proper Why not send the poor fellows to the Pacific coast wat ering places, with plenty of the states money for ice cream, joy rides and all other necessary trimmings? If the governor is going to be a fool over this chimerical idea, it is proper that he should be all sorts of fool.

BRYAN SERVES NOTICE

Col. Bryan has served notice on the Democratic party that if Harmon is to be the Democratic candidate for presi- dent he will not be party to his nom- ination, thus intimating that he would not give his support to the Democratic president, should Harmon be that candidate. Harmon is not the only Democratic candidate that is thus heavily handicapped in the race. William Randolph Hearst has practi- cally served notice on Woodrow Will son that he need not expect the SUD- port of the Hearst papers in case of his nomination.

NEWSPAPER RESPONSIBILITY
(International)


 It is to be regretted that Governor Hunt was not more specific in his con- plaints against the honesty of the Ari- zona newspapers. He puts all alike on the pillory the newspapers of Ari- zona, and asks that they be compelled to make public their ownership by publishing the names of their stock holders and their creditors, with the amounts. To our mind such law would not hold water and would be- sides be class legislation which is pro-

o. M. Auerbach was on Monday
sentenced to life imprisonment for
the killing of Harry Fisher at Bald
win, Mich. 1t will be remembered
that Fisher met his death while
hunting with Auerbach. The de-
fendant claimed the killing was ac-
cidental. However the testimony
was so overwhelmingly against the
man that the jury only required
few hours to bring in a verdict of
guilty. Auerbach collapsed when
the sentence was pronounced.
Harry w. Fisher with Mrs.
Fisher formerly resided in this city
where he had charge of the Pattison
interests at the mines. Mrs. Fisher

STATE SHOULD BUY
Proposed That State Buy Wild
ILands for Future

That the state of Minnesota
should sell no more of its nom
agricultural land, but, on the other
hand, should set aside a fund to
buy much of that which is now in
the hands of private owners, IS the
recommendation the state forestry
board makes to Governor Eberhart
in its annual report. Other timber
states have taken this step, the
report says, and Minnesota had
best assume the same position be-
fore it is too late.
AS is we'll KNOWN the report
adds, the state owns betw cen D.
OOO, 900 and 100000 acres of
land in northern Minnesota. Most
of this is forested, and very con-
siderable part of it is totally unfit
for agriculture. 1t would be the
part of wisdom for the state to re-
fuse to sell such lands. since they
are of value only in growing timber,
for the mineral which they may
contain, and as recreation ground
for the people of the state. Fur
thermore, upon such strictly forest
land, the policy should be to sell
the merchantable timber under
such restrictions as will perpetuate
the forests, the same as is now be-
ing done upon the national forests.
! We believe that the present policy
of selling timber from state lands
does not make adequate provision
for the future growth of forests on
non agricultural lands.
Compared with other states,
Minnesota has very few state
forests. Itasca park and BURNSIDE
and Pillsbury forests total only
43, 900 acres. some of which still is
private land. The requirement of
non-agricultural lands by the state
for forests is a logical step to take;
and the present organization of the
forest service affords the machinery
through which suitable lands can be
readily ascertained, procured and
administered.
The state Of Pennsylvania has
bought up ,0O0, 900 acres; New
York, 1,660,716 acres and Wis
consin $4,000 acres, for state
forests. Thesfscommonwealths are

This End of the Fifty First District Has Nothing to Say Towards
the Selection
Neither Of Our Representatives Are Interested in this End Of the District
or Its Industries
CHANGES MUST Be MADE

A. L. Warner. and N. S. Hillman
are down on the roll call as re-
presenting this district. What the
people here and at Winton would
like to know is where they got the
authority to represent them. In
the case of Mr.. Warner there is
some excuse. He was sent up by
Duluth along with credentials say
ing he was the Republican nominee
for representative of the Fifty first
district which embraces few pieces
of Duluth, all of Lake and Cook
counties, Ely and Winton. Mr..
North of Duluth was the Democratic
candidate and it devolved itself into
a question at the election as to
whether we would elect Republi-
can or a Democrat and not whether
either one was satisfactory to US.
Mr.. Warner was elected.
Ms. Hillman is a resident of
Two Harbors and was elected by
Two Harbors. While he represents
us, here, we had no chance to say
whether he should or not and thus
we are represented at St. Paul by
two men neither of which has in
terests in this end of the district
and one of which is a special man
in whose choosing we have no
choice. Ely and Winton have the
distinction of being the only towns
in the state represented in the leg
islature by man for whom they
are not allowed by the reapportion-
ment now existing, to cast a vote.
We plainly are compelled to take
what is offered and have no choice
in the saying as to who shall be Of
fered. f..
1t is to be hoped that under the
new apportionment things will be
changed and the districts set off so

Christmas Package Advice

Following are suggestions of the
postofhce department for sending
Christmas packages through the
mails:
Wrap packages securely in
strong wrapping paper, and with
strong Irvine; take care that the
articles in the package are well
protected from breakage, and that
no writing is on the inside. other
wise the package must be classed
as first class matter instead of
merchandise.
Address the package plainly in
ink, or with an indelible pencil;
pencil writing is likely to become
blurred, and result in the package
being sent to the dead letter Office.
Write your name in the left
hand upper corner of the package,
as well as the name of the adj
dressee in the lower right-hand
corner.
Have your package weighed at
the postofice, and be sure to put
the required amount of postage on
the package; if not the package
will be held for postage from the
addressee, or postage will be col
lected from the addressee upon
delivery.
The sender can write on the
package: Not to be opened until
Christmas.
