 Why Smith Didn't Sign
 The failure of A. Charles Smith. Socialis, candidate for congressman from Arizona. to sign the bill au- thorizing the recall of the judiciary has caused much comment in the state press. Smith explained his action yesterday by saying that he wanted to know what he was signing before he affixed his sigma ture. It was impossible, he said. to tell from the matter submitted to him by the secretary of state what the provisions of the law are.
 1t is not that am opposed 10 the recall of the judiciary or any other officials" said Smith. ''ln fact, I have supported that idea for years. even when it was considered anarchy to mention such things. When the secretary of state sent me letter concerning this matter refused to sign. He stat ed that there were six sections Nos. to 6. inclusive. which con cerned it. He only quoted two sections and both of these show ed nothing about the judiciary. They said something about con gressmen.
 "I wrote Mir Osborn again asking him to send me copy of the bill. It was then too late to sign anything. even had l had that desire. He sent me another letter. quoting section 8 of the bill. Now, that is all know about the matter"
 Smith and other Socialists of the city are busily engaged in mak- ing arrangements for the speaking tour of Eugene Debs. candidate of that party for president. who will be in Bisbee next Sunday after noon.

Sea and That He Thought He
Was Talking to Twin.

A farmer calling at the village
school was asked by the master II he
would like to question the scholars.
SO he said to the class: IF either of

of sixpence."
There were twin brothers in this
class named Sam and Joe. Now, Joe
put up his hand and the farmer said:
well. Sam. what is your answer"
Joe replied: 1.-THE weight of the
moon is four quarters, the depth of
the sea. is a stones throw" and then
he paused.
The farmer responded: well, Sam,
what am l thinking about?"
