a RIZONA, whose entry as the
"a the forty eighth member of
N the Union, and completed the
Il nation of states from ocean
to ocean, has had a history
probably as turbulent and trying IS
any state in the Union. The struggles
of the Pilgrims of Massachusetts, the
Hollanders who coIonized New York.
the QuakeTs who settled Pennsylvania
and the English who brought civiliza-
ton to the Virginia shores were no
harder than those Of the pioneers OF
Arizona They were killed by Indl-
ans, robbed by lawless people OF their
own nationality, starved upon the des-
erts, frozen In the snow-capped noun
tains and bitten by poisonous reptiles
They had no government for many
years and fought as hard to get terri
torial rights as they have been night
ing for the past ten years to get
statehood rights. They were on the
point of rebelling at one time and
even went so far as to establish ter
ritorial form of government OF their
own despite the expressed desire OF
congress, exemplif1ed in its refusal to
grant a territorial government that
they should remain a part Of New
Mexico.
Their nearest peace and judicial Of
flclals were then four hundred miles
away, at Mesilla, N. NJ. and their law
was the law OF the strongest against
the weakest. At one time all of the
present state OF Arizona was the
county Of Arizona, attached to New
Mexico for purposes of administration
only.
Gen. Nelson A. Miles, General Law
ton. General Crook and many other
noted men OF the United States army
gained their first fame in campaigning
in Arizona 1t was from Arizona that
the only raid OF United States troops
was ever made into a foreign country
not then at war with US; the soldiers
were after Indians who had been kill
ing and robbIng in Arizona. The his
tory of Arizona is thrilling from It's
inception to the present day.
The origin of the name Arizona is
not definitely known. Bancroft. the
historian, and some others have IN
sisted that the name is from a sup
posed Pima Indian word, "Arizonac."
although Bancroft admits that the
aboriginal meaning of the term Is not
known" The historian treats as
extremely absurd" the suggestion
that the name is OF Spanish deriva-
ton. and he apparently bases that
conclusion upon the fact that there
is no similar word in Spanish
But It is possible that Arizona"
may have had its derivation from the
Spanish words arida IONA (arid zone).
The wellknown tendency of unedu-
Gated speakers of Spanish to leave
of the last syllables of words ending
in vowels and their tendency to run

force was defeated by 1000 imperial

fell before his little force of revolu-
tionists.
! At night he remarked that the
Manchu dynasty was surely weakening

the Manchus out of China He hoped

Events transpiring in the empire

Mountain and San Carlos Apaches
broke out in open rebellion. On tEs
morning of April IS Loco's band
broke out at San Carlos and after
killing the chief of police started up
the valley Of the ella. killing at least
sixty white settlers.
Then for six years Arizona was the
scene of merciless Indian war. In
1888 Geronimo became chief OF the
Apaches He massacred settlers and
burned ranches almost at will. After
each raid he would escape to the
mountain Businesses OF Mexico where
the United States soldiers could not
pursue him. Finally permission was
secured from Mexico for soldiers 10
cross the frontier in pursuit of the In
dams. In 1888 Captain Lawton. serv-
ing under Gen Nelson A. Miles. sur
rounded Geronimo's warriors and
made them prisoners. The whole tribe
was taken to Florida and later trans
ferred to Fort Sill, Okla, as prisoners
of war.
There Geronimo remained until his
death, three or four years ago, and
the remainder of his band is still
there. All desire to return to Arizona
and 1t is possible that sometime the
government may see fit to grant them
their wish Today they are as peace
full and placid as any Indians. having
seen the folly of resisting the whites.
Of course there were bad men and
gun men in Arizona in her early days.
Stage and train robberies were by no
means uncommon and excited only
passing comment. Finally train rob-
berries became SO frequent that In
1889 the penalty for that crime was
fixed at death In the same year the
legislature passed law providing a
fine OF SIS for any one carrying con-
cealed weapons.
1t was not until after the penalty
for train robbing had been fixed at
death that Arizona became really
peaceful Now there is no train rob-
bling any more. and as the day Of the
stage coach is practically passed the
stage robber is extinct.
Until 1907 everything was wide
open in Arizona. Gambling was unre-
strained and. except where municipal
laws prevented. women and minors
were allowed in saloons. In that year
the legislature responded to an urgent
message from Governor Kibbey and
to pronounced public sentiment and
passed a rigid anti-gambling law thai
closed such games

Such a statement as that made in The Democrat yesterday will do this city more harm than anything that could be published at this time. The statement was generally denounced here and the Gazette correspondent in this city lost no time in correcting the statement last night.

HENRY B. HARRIS.

Harrison Grey Fiske, writing in che Dramatic Mirror, has the follow ing to say of the useful career ot Henry B. Harris, the New York thea trical manager-producer and owner Ot many playhouses, who was one of the victims in the Titanic sea trag- ciy:
 In the melancholy death of Henry Tl. Harris the American drama loses one of it's most consistent and cnter- prising patrons. Although he never posed as the champion of the native author. he rarely, either through de- sign or accident, imported his offer- ings from Europe. Certainly his re- cent dramatic successes were, with cut exception, the works of Ameri- can playwrights.
 Mir. Harris also had the courage oi his convictions, for Strong Heart. The Lion and the Mouse and The Third Degree-with which his name is probably most often associated
 
 each opened up a new theme and won the flattery of imitation. These plays. moreover, had been refused by osh. CT producers, who oculd see nOthins In their possibilities. Because giv- en subject had not been successfully treated by previous writers apparent, ly never seemed to MT Harris q suf- ficient reason for refusing to con eiicr 1t.
 Some of his less successful prod ucti0ns indicate the variety of his understanding and the sincerity Of his desire to advance the American theater. Among them was The Christian Pilgrim. dramatization of aPilgrim's Progress which pleased m intelligent, but, unfortunately, limited, clientele. Another delightful iIlay which could not find its public Ias The Scarecrow. a whimsical fan & syt tbktsd opss oss of 2 HaNthsso ss orne's '6Ff StoEiss. 5. His ll'st unususl prod { f1on thje year.

CTS, 1t shows MT. Harris readiness to try tho new. sss.
 Another novel venture of his was the Follies Bergere, which attempted to combine the somewhat incQmpati- blei diversions of the dinner table with tha distractions of the music hall. After two seasons this plan sue culnbed and the building was con vented into theatre. The failure, however. left it's mark on Broadway in the impetus given to the cabaret shows in ,neighboring restaurants.
 His importance in the theatrical world is indicated. hy the fact that he ownedt, of controlled four. New York theatres, and that in each of them has been produced at least one success this season.
 In spite of the influence which he had won by his own efforts, MT. Har- ris remained man of whom one hears only kindly words both from his business associates and from his personal friends, and that makes his taking off the more grievous.
 Just what effect his death may have on the theatrical situation cannot be foreseen Certainly the American dramatist with new ideas will not find producer more willing to in troduce him to the public than was Henry B. Harris.
