A HIGH HANDED PROCEEDING.
An important Legal Document Taken bv Force from Doctor E. 8. Perrin, Chief Owner of the Babacomori Grant.

OI dil OOOuilOuSCj uhu IiiO OllCuH- stances leading thereto, which took place over in Cochise county, last week, that has created decided sensation in that part of the country.
 As is well known Doctor E. B. Perrin, his brother, Mir. Robert Perrin and associates are owners of the San Ignacio de Babacomori land grant, large tract of some 32O00 acres of land that was granted by the Mexican govern ment long before the Gadsden purchase, which grant was pur- chased by the Perrins many years ago, and their title confirmed by the Court of Private Land Claims. The grant is partly in Santa Cruz and partly in Cochise county. While the title to the grant was in the court quite number of settlers located on the land embraced and some took homesteads on the public lands adjacent to the Perrin claim, extending their fences to include parts of that. Some years ago the present owners of the grant set about clearing off from their land those squatters. Suits in ejectment were entered in the district court at Tombstone, but were dismissed aiterward upon the squatters sign ing stipulations admitting owner ship by the Perrins and becoming their tenants at nominal rental. Some of the settlers upon the public domain who had extended their fences to embrace parcels of the grant lands had taken water for irrigation of their own land from the Babacomori creek, upon the grant. The grant owners desiring 10 lmpound the water to convey 1t upon their own lands at the lower end thereof, commenced construc- ton of dam, and the settlers whose water would be taken if the dam were built enjoined the man building 1t, one of the tenants on the grant. Most of the settlers outside of the grant took their water through a ditch that had been built by an aged widow named McLain, which headed in the grant, and ran through her homestead upon the homesteaded lands below. Last week Messrs. Robert and E. B. Perrin, with Mir MCWhorter, their agent, and their attorney, MT. k. J. Bennitt of Phoenix, made deal with Mrs McLain whereby they gave her a deed to water right for her own land and induced her to sign a stipulation withdrawing from the suit to enjoin construction of the dam upon the grant.
 Wednesday Messrs. Perrin anc McWhorter, who are all aged men Doctor Perrin being seventy.si1 years of age and his brother seventy-eight years, and MT. Me Whorter sixty, were at Huachucs on business when son of Mrs McLain approached them anC desired to see the paper his mothe had signed, saying there was clause therein he did not comprehend Doctor Perrin said he would read tC the man the instrument, and tool It out of his pocket to do so, whel McLaln snatched the deed ant "renched it away, there beinI quite a struggle before he was sue Cesstul, both the aged men beini

make the situation here typical of what
II is ell over the country.
"At the recent meeting OF our State
committee, under the leadership of a
Federal office holder, the majority OF
that committee voted their approval OF
giving the people chance to indicate
their choice for candidates for the Re-
publican Presidential nomination at the
caucuses. Then this same committee
voted that this choice should not be
binding upon the delegates elected "a
represent the state at the national con-
vention.
This is a clear demonstration of the
issue all over the country, and 1t Is
exactly what Theodore Roosevelt meant
when he said: Our opponents pay lip
loyalty to this doctrine, but they show
their real beliefs by the. way in which
they champion every device to make
the nominal rule of the people sham
Here as everywhere, the national
campaign has virtually resolved itself
into the question of whether the ma
chine bosses shall rule and control the
delegates and conventions or whether
the voice OF the majority of Republic
cans shall find effective expression
through the action OF their delegates.
at Ia. therefore, self-evident that the
outcome depends only on whether, the
voters are sufficiently interested 70

able to resort to those Vaccinations

Munsey Writes on
Politics and Business

In an article entitled The Business
Situation and It's Relation to the Po-
Iitical Struggle" In Munsey's Magazine
for April, Frank A. Munsey calls at
tention to the fact that President Taft
Two years ago was urging Congress to
give the country relief from the Sher-
man law, a law which the Executive
now looks upon with favor.
Early In January l9l0-I think IL was
on the 9TH OF January" says Mr. Mum
sey. President Taft sent special mes
sage to Congress, urging Federal in
corporation, and an amendment to, or
some revision of. the Sherman law. In
this message he urged that he was
most anxious to conserve the business
interests of the country and not to de.
stroy them, but he went on to say thaC
II Congress failed to grant the relief ho
asked, he would be compelled to en-
force the Sherman law with vigor,
whatever the results.
This Presidential message put the
knife into business and into our &C.
curittes clean up to the hilt. That was
the beginning OF the break in the price
of securities, the beginning of the pres
ent depression and lasstude In business.
This is history, not criticism. Had
Congress responded favorably to Presi-
dent Taft's message. giving him the
legislation he at that time sought, II
is safe to say that we should be in a
FAR better condition today, and that our
factories and our furnaces would be
running on full time and at good prices.
But Congress paid little or no attention
TO the Presidents recommendation. and
u was early known among the big in-
terests that the leaders in Congress. did
not propose to pay any attention to II.
within thirty or sixty DAYS after this
message went to Congress. the prices of
our securities showed a deplorable and
alarming shrinkage."
