SPARE THE TIME TO LAUGH
Even Tn Depressing Circumstances It Is Mans Duty to Strive to Be
 Cheerful.

It is the duty of mankind, even in depressing circumstances, to strive Q be cheerful. It is the general be- lief that if a man is not naturally Iight-hearted. be cannot make him self so
 Yet this is far from being the case, and there is many a man who is at present a weary burden to his reia- lives. miserable through the carking care of some bodily ailment perhaps. or some worldly misfortune, who, if he had grown up with the idea that tc be cheerful in all circumstances was one of the first duties of life, might still see a pleasant enough world round him.
 The worries of a mOrose person will shorten his days. and the general jus tice of natures arrangements pro- vides that his early departure should entail no long regrets.
 On the other hand. the man who can laugh keeps his health. To the perfectly healthy laughter comes of ten Too commonly. though. as child hood Is left behind. the habit fails, and a half smile is the most that visits the thoushtlined mouth Of a modern man or woman. People become moro and more burdened with the accumulation Of Knowledge and with the weighty re- responsibilities of fife. bul they should still spare time to laugh.

CHOICE POSSIBLE EARLY IN
 LEGISLATIVE MEET
Only Eight Days Need E. lapse Before Solons
 Are Selected
LAW IS EXPLAINED

PHOENIX, Feb. I9:-There seems to be a general impression over Ari- fona that the first thing the Arizona legislature will do after meeting and perfecting an organization, will be to elect Mark Smith and Henry Ashurst to the United States senate.
 This is not. correct. The legis- lature will be in session eight days oeiore the matter of electing senators is taken up.
 The manner in which United States senators shall be elected by legis- latures is covered in the revised statutes of the United States and provides that on the second Tuesday after the meeting and organization the legislature shall meet in joint session and elect a senator. This does not mean that Messrs. Smith and Ashurst will be elected at the same time. Their names must be taken up singly and voted upon. A majority vote of the members of both houses in joint session is sufficient to elect.
 Opinion Of Ling
 Reese M. Ling of the firm of Stoneman &Lng this morning fur nished The Democrat with a copy of the law covering the election Of sena. tors and from this it IS seen that the balloting will not begin until Tuesday March 26 although the legislature convenes on Monday. March 19.
 The statute reads as follows:
 The legislature Of each state shall. on the second Tuesday after the meeting and organization thereof. proceed to the election of a senator in congress. Such election shall be conducted in the following manner.
 Each house shall openly, by viva voce Of each member present, name one person for senator in congress from such state, and the name of the person So voted for who receives a majority Of the whole number of votes cast in each house shall be entered on the journal of that house by the clerk or secretary thereof: ! but If either house fails to give such majority to any person on that day the fact shall be entered on the jour. nal. At F o'clock meridian the day following that on which proceedings are required to take place as afore
 
 shall convene in joint assembly, and the journal of each house shall be read, and if the same person has re ceived majority of all the votes in each house. he shall be declared duly elected senator. But ii~ the same person has not received a ma jority of the votes in each house. or If either house has failed to take pro ceeding as required by this section the joint assembly shall then proceed to choose by 8 yiva-Yoce vote Of each member present a person for senator, and the person who receives 8 majority oi all the votes of the joint assembly a majority of all members elected to both houses being present and voting shall be declared duly elected. If no person receives such a majority on the first day, the joint assembly shall meet at o'clock meridian on each succeeding day during the session of the legislature and shall take at least one vote until 8 senator is elected"

BOTH WELL KNOWN

The precinct entanglement in Douglas was cleared up somewhat Saturday in Tombstone when the board of supervisors appointed J. B. Speed, as justice of the peace and Sam Hayhurst as constable of the Douglas precinct. Both were candidates for these positions at the first statehood election, but there was some uncertainty about whether the election would have any legality and on Wednesday when the matter came before the board of supervisors District Attorney Gil more gave the opinion that the precinct election was void
 He took the matter Of tke question or Douglas being entitled to two sets of precinct officers under ad- visemeut: this morning he told the board that Douglas having a pOpula- ton of 5000 was entitled to two sets of precinct officers. Then Speed and Hayhurst were appointed.
 s. P. Thompson was also elected as constable at the December cleo ticn, but as the election was void and as Frank Clark by virtue of this illegality holds over under his election to the offices in 1908. MT. Thompson has had his trouble for nothing unless MT. Clark should re sign and this is not believed at all likely.
 IL is expected that the board of supervisors will place the salaries of justices Of the peace in this city at not less than S15O per month.
