MURDER DONE
 AT PHOENIX

PHOENIX, Ariz., May 7.- Without notice and without words Finlay Coffman at noon today entered the office of the surveyor general and fired three shots from an automatic revol yer into the body of Granville M. Gillette. chief clerk of the office, and then re eturned into an adjoining room and fired a bull let through his own heart.
 Coffman had been in a real estate deal with Gillette, and had purchased from him a ten acre tract of land. He claimed that the title was imperfect, although the deed given to the land was backed by a guaranteed title certificate of local company. He had on several occasions during the past week talked to Gillette concel ming the title, but each time had gone away satis- fled.
 About a year ago Gillette mar ried a Dalla S, Texas, girl. sister of the wife of former State Engi- neer Grand. His young wife is prostrated. His parents reside here, his father being Ben T. Gil lette, former Baptist minister re- siding at Douglas. He was a member of the local lodge of Elks, and his brother is Leslie Gillette, special inspector of mineral applications of the us. land office.

NEW HOME FOR
 ORDER OF OWLS

There are now pending in Congress several Bill introduced for the purpose of assisting the Order of Owls. They are all of the same nature. One introduced by Mir. Carl C. Anderson, mem Der of Congress from Ohio, is as follows:
 "Be it entacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in assembly, That the Secretary of the Interior is hereby authorized and empowered to set aside a tract of not exceeding four sections of unoccupied public lands in a salubrious section to be temporarily used by the Order of of Owls for sanitarium and camping ground. subject to the control of the national officers of that association: Provided, That when such land ceases to be used for such purposes for a period of two years it shall re- vert to the United States"
 The object of thls movement as stated ahove by the Order Of Owls is to get peice of land from the Government, ceterally located upon which will be erect ed a fine home for the accom-. modation of the Owls widows and orphans and sick and indl- gent members of the Order. This Order though but a few years old has made wonderful strides and is getting to be powerful, influential and greatly benifcial Order throughout this land. This is one of their best move ments yet and is being heartily endorsed by all members and the public generally.
 Bach individual Lodge has taken it upon itself to. boost the movement and have notified their senators and congressman from the various states to sup. port the measure, until 1t looks now that it will be only but a short time before Congress w1l make the appropriation for suit able grounds for to place the home, which will be a great credit to this thriving order.

that every injustice known tc man kind should be met bv murder. not only of the unjust hut of the just and harmless. Such arguments in favoi nf wholesale murder are the very proof that murder like all other crimes loses it's horror with it's ire uueucy.
 Who could have thought it possible few years ago that governor of one of the states could stand up amongst his colleagues and call lynch ing justifiable? And vet We find 1t possible now. Why? Because lynch- ing is coming. by it's frequency. to he regarded as something tolerahle.
 With dynamiting it is just the same. None of us had dared to be Icve that the McMamaras were guilty of the ficndish act of blowing up the Los Angeles Times. We hardly thought such thing possible in a civilized country. but today We are only half interested in the result fl the trials at Indianapolis.
 And why. again Because the Sr"w ing familarit yof rynamiting Is breeding a contempt for the harra.' o' 1t.
 To prove that things whie1 ..tre once disagreeable can become agree ing familiarity uf dynamitinC is pies could hc given. X straw may show how the wind blows and small events may show .n- current ,s hG- nan opinion.
 Tobacco chewing was once thought to Ice the most disgusting If habits. Frog eating was regarded uy all N eept the people of one nationality as a repulsive custom. Using toothpicks in public was about 1s bad as spitt'u.. Women smoking cigar,ttes were abandoned. And so 1t is these hl'ts are now tolerated because they hl,a become frequent and the disgust has left Us. not because the habits m E have become less dislcreeahle in themselves but because our sens. g have become duTled Us flesh becomes dulicd ny constant beating.
 Beware of those who accept crime without eoudemnine II. Particularly beware of those who try to excuse it Never mind their spacious arguments. Such arguments are only the proof that the crime is losing its horror in the public mind.

CRIME BECOMES POPULAR.

When q particular brand of erim" shows it's foul hoad for the first tim, above the surface che world shuddcrs md runs away. but after d time and many appearances familiarity with the crime breeds contempt for the horror and We begin to regard 1t with galmness. l. has been so with iynch- ing and many other outrageous events. The first lynchings were abominttious. today Nnehings seem te hay, 'beeome a species If reere8tons.
 The man who placed dyuamtts un- der building to blow up its occu- pants. unless m real warfare. Was re- garded as demon in human form. Today large percentage of the pea- pie and the so-called press ot a ,iviI- ized country will be found to make excuses for the dynamitard. Tomor- row We may find dyuamitine tp be as popular and as protolsut as hanging negroes unless the nation awakens to it's danger.
 II is made evident by recent dis patches from the outside that dyna- mite is becoming more and more the instrument of assassination. Leaving aside the almost incredible fact that officials of labor union have been found guilty of dynamite conspiracy we are still reminded of the awful increase in the use of the bomb and internal machine for the destruction of life and property. In Panama bomb is placed for President Taft and down in oregon rejected suitor blows up q house and himself h Delhi an Indian attempts to blow up the gov ernor general, in one of our ownI states d town was destroyed by dyna mite because the officials suppressed gambling. and these have all occurred within a few days.
 Where one country is at war with another. or where one country is be- ing oppressed by force of arms the use df explosives may he justifiable when directed against the real enemy. The enemy is prepared and ready toI take his chances as well as ready to use the same methods. but when it | comes to sneaking behind the backs of unarmed. and often innocent. peo- pie for the purpose of blowing them into eternity. no word could be found strong enough in condemnation.
 It is all very well to say that econ- omic conditions render such acts jus tifable but we might as well contend l

NEW YEARS INTENTIONS.

\ year always begins with hopes and ends with regrets. w. a~s ted that hell is paved with good .l;rn- tions and an examination of the ave ment would show most of the pavila, stones C. be dated January the arst
 But il seems funny that sosi iu- tentions should be compared to rt ,. ment at all Pavement is heavy sort of a substance and good iarsr tions. are usually light and eph.m- iral. Pavement is supposed ro he lasting but good intentions, rerer.
 But. maybe. good intentiors re compared to pavement because -i.ey are trampled under foot. Surel, ,htt must be the explanation.
 We'll good intentions are all right if made at the proper time. There is no earthly use in making them fpr q fixed period in the future. No one knows what the future has in store and no one knows. therefore, wh1: he will be called upon 10 combat. You may look forward to one danee' bat twenty others you know not of nay lie lurking beside your path ;e catch you unawares.
 The time to form good inter,i1ns is not next Wednesday morning. the ITS; day of January 1913. The tine isl when the danger bescts you. A2ainstI the danger you see ahead put on ypur| armor, certainly, but be ca" ftI toI keep your sword loose in the scab- bard when that danger is past. for the willy gentleman who rIns :neI place paved with good intentions isl described as always rosming about like a roaring lion seeking whom haI may devour. Amen.
