Blythe's Tribute to
 Arizona's New Senator

, the Fifty-second and the Fifty-third congress. dropped out of the Fifty fourth, got to the Fifty-fifth. dropped out again for the Fifty-sixth, was there in the Fifty-seventh, couldn't
 make it for the Fifty-eighth. but did get to the Fifty-ninth and Six tieth. They beat him for the Sixty
 first or he didn't run forget
 which. Anyhow, all these years f every time there was any talk, how ever desultory, about statehood for | Arizona, Mark Smith was on the job. He was there, and urged his claims and the claims of his people. On several occasions it looked good ! but at the last moment something | happened. Mark took a few twists at his mustachios and began all over 1 again. Though it may be he didn t have much to 1 with the enabling act, as it was passed finally, it is undeniably true that his work dur | ing all these years laid a good share . of the foundations for the statehood
 Arizona now has.
 1 Nor did Marcus Aurelius lose sight of the fact that when a state ! i5 made two senators are made also, or can be made. 4ie had an eye on
 that toga from the beginning. Poli- tics in a territory is as various as
 elsewhere-and mostly more SO He i had 10 fight for everything he ac- | quired personally: and some of the fights were bitter ones. Still the | fighting part of it didn't bother him much. for he comes of a line of sturdy Kentucky folks: nor did he i let any grass grow under his feet i if grass does grow in Arizona-let any cacti grow under his feet l that's better-for he hadn't moved i from Kentucky more than a year i when ne went out for the office CT
 prosecuting attorney for his district
 and was elesied He has been ac.
 tlve in Arizona politics ever since
 --and that was away lack in 1882. ! As the original Marcus Aurelius meditated on an occasion when he
 was meditating in good form: That which comes after ever conforms to that which has gone before" What went before for Mark Smith was < sixteen years of consistent, intelli- gent service for his people as terri ! torial delegate. He is experienced in legislative ways, knows the me chanics of congress, is popular and an able citizen. Also he will be a notable addition to the Democra- tic Story-Tellers' club; but he will not devote so much time to that end of the game that he will not get all that is coming to him as representative of the new state in the greatest deliberative body in the world. Three cheers,
 Reverting to the Great Mediator. he once handed out this advice:
 Look 10 the essence of thlngs. !" They gave that to our present Mar GUS Aurelius when he was a boy in Kentucky. For sixteen years and more he looked carefully to the es- sence of things-which was a sen-
 atorship from Arizona He never | forgot the essence for a minute. All Of which goes to show that being g voice without a vote has compen-

HARPER'S WEEKLY THROWN DOWN.

Governor Woodrow Wilson appears to have put himself out of tie rum ming. if ne was ever yreally in it within the iast year whicn caused Mr. Wilson has done many things many of his admirers b wonder whether their earlier estimation Of him were accurate. but his latest of- fcnse, that of ingratitude, will turn against him many men Who might ac- cept his views of things iR general.
 There has been no influence more contributory to such success as Mir. Wilson has already attained than Hsrper's Weekly, which gave his pres idential boom it's impetus and which sought after the governors depart ure to extreme radicalism, to hold democratic conservatives in the east in line for him.
 No doubt, there are many radicals, republicans, democrats and socialists, who would regard with suspicion a candidate supported by so conserva- tive q journal as Harper's Weekly. notwithstanding his own protestations Of radicalism, but VIC can not con oeive Of a candidate of presidential size who would sacrifice the support of a friend as Governor Wilson has done in this case.

HE WHITE SISTER.

It may not be generally known but t IS fact nevertheless, that the last act Of the life of the late F. Mar ion Crawford. lhe famous writer ui hcJion. was 10 afiix his autograph Of ot approval upon the dramatization of his widely read novel. The White Sister, in which work Walter Hack cit Collaborated. At the time Mir. Crawford was lying al the point oi death in lfaly, whither he had gone in the hope of recovering his health Mir. Hackett was residing in Chicago and during the entire year it took to make the dramatization the work wa < accomplished by mail so that it may be said the play of The White Sis ter, was evolved through correspon- dence.
 It seems a pity that the distinguish
 ed author Of such an enduring work vas not permitted tO live long enough 10 see tho actual fruits of such con ceptiOn. Surely would he have been more than delighted over the unaii- nous verdict Of the clergy, as well as the press, who, wherever The White Sister" has been presented lave eulogized it's uplifting qualities and have given it place among the few plays which not only appeal to the most intense side Of romatic ma. ture, but to the religious sentiment, regardless of creed.
 The story Of The White Sister" has been SO loudly eulogized as one that the play. a dramatization faith fully made, IS bound to be of special interest indefinitely.
 Nessrs. Morrison and Warde. who will present The White Sister" Viola Aliens great success, at the OTpheum, Wednesday. January g., give every assurance that the produc- tiOn, as well as the cast, leave noth- ing 10 be desired. and promise a hap py revelation in their beautiful star. Miss Jeanne Fowler. whose personal charm is only equalled by her talent.

THE CREDIT OF LOS ANGELES.

Los Angeles seems to be up against it in a financial way. important i'm. provements are pending and the cred. il Of the city is not enthusiastically regarded by the men who furnish car. ital
 In the last mayoralty campaign the chief. and in fact, the only and prob ably an effective argument against Job Hartman, the Socialist candidate, was that his election would be de- structive of the city's credit; that the work on the aqueduct project would be brought 10 an end and that the harbor plans could not he begun.
 There had been sold acqueduct bonds to the amount of s4OO0,0O0 whose proceeds it was thought would make il possible to complete the work. Kountze Bros. had taken an option on these bonds long before the expiration of the option, the bank CTS notified the city that they would not avail themselves Of it. There has been some appeal 10 the patriotism of citizens who have been urged to subscribe for the bonds, but so far without result and it is stated that unless the bonds are sold work on the project will be stopped on March ]. Harbor and power bonds to the amount of s6,5OO,OoO are unsold, but in the present circumstance. there seems no disposition to offer them to the public.
 There is plenty of money in the country for investment but capital seems to be fighting shy of Los An geles, notwithstanding it's defeat of a socialist for mayor after so nearly electing him in the primaries. But i. Hartman had been elected that would not have Leen the first incident to affect the credit of the city. For sev. eraI years there hsse been an era of agitation which threatened the men who had already made heavy invest ments there and there were loud and Socialistic demands fo- legislation and competition which would prac- tically destroy those investments These things were demanded in the name of the people before Hartman was heard of

 The Concorda league. representing seventy Lutheran churches of Chi. cago and that vicinity, adopted tho following very sensible resolutions upon the action Of the governor:
 Whereas. In the month of October. 1911, one Fred GuelzOw Of Cook couu- tv, while unprotected and pleading for his life, was ruthlessly and ma hciously murdered in cold blood by six seIf-confessed murderers, who are now confined in the county iail of Cook county after having been con v.cted by a jury of their own peers and sentenced 10 death, and,
 Whereas. The heinousness of the crime as well as the yiciousness ana the fiiendishness or the perpetrators has shocked not only the citizens of Chicago but the community at large, and,
 Whereas. The governor of this state has seen ft to reprieve the aforesaid murdsTers upon the suS- gesJIon or recommendation Of a few men and women whose perverted sense of justice and emotional sent; ment led them 10 exercise sympathy for the worst type of felOns and for get the well being Of the community and the sorrow and loss of a wife and child Of the man who Vas slain. and whose influence. whether wittingly or unwittingly tends to encourage crime and mgrder at the expense of the safety and protection of women and children as well as the public at large. and.
 Whereas, In our opinion the action Of the governor in reprieving the con yicted men was ill advised, as such action tends toward @ disregard oi our laws and to weaken the effect of the law upon fine minds of the evil disposed, and further tends to dis courage public officers charged with the prosecution Of criminals in the performance of their duty, now, there fore, be it
