PERSONNEL OF
 THE SENATE
(By C. B. WOOD

When the secretary of the sen ate calls the roll four republicans respond to that call. Apache. Coconino, Navajo and Pinal sent republicans to the senate. When the senate organized, the republicans presented the name of Senator Breen of Coconiro as their cho1ce for president. When the minority sU presents It's choice, it is supposed to carry with it the leadership of the party in that body. Naturally we supposed that Breen would be the floor leader of flls party, but on the second day of the session the senator from Apache, MT. Hubbell, quietly appropri- ated it to himself and has kept it ever since.
 One reason for this was that Senator Hubbell was chairman of the republican state commit tee, and was in the habit of lead ing. So that at the first demand the natural leader of the party came to the front Also our friend Breen was taced almost at once with a county division proposi- tion that, fgureatively, placed him over a barrel, where he re- mained through the session. Whenever Breen showed any tendency to get gay, someone said, Hunt county" and MT. Breen subsided. It was hard on 2reen, but fine for the senate.
 And then there is another req son for the action of the senator from Apache: He is the republi- can candidate for governor. at the next election; that is if the Taft faction can make him SC. At present the "distinguised" sena- tor from Apache is occupying all his time in doing things to the Roosevelt wing of the party, and what he is doing is a-plenty and has the full approval of the senate. The Roosevelt men ex- pect to throw him out of the convention hall at Tucson next Tuesday, but if they do, bet he lands on his feet, smiles sweetly, and declares their action out of order.
 Besides Senators Breen and Hubbell there are Senator Willis from Navajo and Senator Brown from Pinal, both very quiet and well-be-haved gentlemen for re- publicans, and refec. great cred it on their party. In fact the ma jority is so well pleased with the behavior of the minority that a resolution will be passed perhaps before the session is over to make it permanent Seriously speaking, the minority is composed of men of ability and brains. the leaders of their party, and men of whom their party have a right to be proud.

This country is full of loco weed. But there has appeared this season little bug or larvae which settles around the man system of the weed first and gradually spreads out over the and destroys it before the seeds mature. All over the country this little insect has been at work and is still working, but the weed is in such abundance that perhaps there is not a suffi- c1ent amount of bugs to kill all of it this year, and the plant is rapidly maturing.-St. Johns Herald.

WINSLOW WILL
 CELEBRATE

Al d iuCCIlhS hSiO HI ShS H1AA S Hall Wednesday evening to ar range for the next Frontier Day celebration the citizens of Win slow were well represented busi- ness men and citizens in the or dinary walks of life showing a great interest in the affair.
 The meeting was called to order by Wm. J Burke, president of last year Frontier Celebration Society, with Benj. Downs ac- ting as Secretary.
 Nominations for president showed that all present, except. ing Mir. Burke himself, wished the president of the first celebra- ton to again act but his presis- tefice in declining the honor led to the nomination and unanim- ous election of Dr. Geo. P. Samp- son to be president of the affair for this year. Mr. Benj. Down, was reelected to the office Of Secretary and Mir. Wm. J Burke was chosen as Treasurer. The Executive Committee named was that of last year: Messrs H. w. Asbury, J. E. Campbell and Dr R. G. Bazell. the president being empowered to appoint al other committees adding to those of last year where consid cred necessary. The dates choser for the Celebration were Sep tember 1920, & 21, future meet ings to be subject to the call O the chair.
 President of such an organiza tion requires a large amount O. work on the part of the man to the same properly and to fulfil the satisfaction of all concerned which the president of last years celebration has done. But, or the other hand the various com mittees appointed can take 2 good deal of hard work on theil own responsibility if they will and make the work lighter or the president of the organization who has enough of the work to carry at all times, to make ar engagements for minor detail: and keep the committees doing their it'll duty to make the cele bration a grand success. Eacf celebration given from year to year should eclipse the previou: one given, and there is one way to do that, all committees 1T charge must do every thing 1T their power to do the1r par of the work assigned them.

WATER POWER LAW
DECLARED INVALID
state Supreme Court Decision
Holds Act Unconstitutional.
COULD NOT BE ENFORCED
Opinion Written by Justice TimIin
Declares 1t Also Contrary to Fun
damental Principles = Millions in
Property Affected by Judgment.

Madison.-The supreme court has
declared unconstitutional the water
power act enacted by the last Wis
consin legislature. The act provided
for state regulation and control of
thousands of miles of navigable
streams and millions of dollars
worth of property. The opinion de-
clarlng the act unconstitutional was
written by Justice Timlin. The court
was unanimous. Justices Kerwin
and Barnes did not sit.
The law is unconstitutional" says
the decision, because the necessary
effect of the enforcement of the law
would be state appropriation of the
property rights of riparian proprie-
tors OF the banks of navigable rivers
without due process of law; the ap-
preparation ostensibly for the public,
but in legal effect largely for private
purposes; an appropriation without
rendering just compensation for pri-
Yate property rights, all contrary to
fundamental law
effect of such chapter is to take prop
erty, which in fact is private, for a
purpose declared to be public without
rendering any compensation there
for. The necessary effect, if en-
forced-and so the purpose is a legal
sense-of chapter 652, laws of 1911,
being state appropriation of private
property rights of riparian proprie-
tors owning the banks of navigable
rivers, in a manner not warranted
by the fundamental law, and those
portions of the act which do not di-
rect y deal with the assertion of
state title, being features designed to
render such assertion efficacious, it
all forms an inseparable unconstitu-
tionality entirety"
The judgment enjoins enforcement
of any part of the act except as to
future new interferences (dams, etc.
without state permission, navigable
in fact, but not meandered.

SPENSELEY AWAITS REPORT
of Two Years on Mineral
Point Banks Books.

La Crosse.-After working stead
lily for nearly two years government
experts employed by the attorney
generals department have finally
concluded the examination of the
books of the defunct First National
bank of Mineral Point.
Philip Allen, vice president of the
bank, is now serving ten years at
Leavenworth prison for wrecking the
institution. Following his conviction
he gave evidence before the grand
jury here which resulted in the in
dictment of Calvert Spenseley, presi-
dent of the bank, on charge of max
ing false statements to the bank ex-
aminer. That was in November,
1909.
Since then experts have been work
ing on the books to determine
whether the facts warranted prosecu-
ton. That point will now be decided
on the report submitted by the de-
partment of justice at Washington.
