(Aledo Democracy
The life story of Justice George A.
Cooke is familiar TO the people of
Mercer county, among whom he has
lived for 80 years, yet it is so in
spring and contains so much of hui
man interest that it bears being re-
told 1t should be an inspiration to
every ambitious boy, as it proves that
no ideal is too high TO be attained and
no obstacle too great to be surmounted.
BORN IN LOG CABIN.
Justice Cooke was born July 8. 1869,
in a humble log cabin nesting at the
foot of one of the beautiful hills of
Harrison county, Ohio. In May. 1872,
the father died, leaving his wife and
three children practically without
means Of support. In June 1850. his
mother also died, leaving him an Or
phan and without any means except
the sum of $40. He was brought
to Mercer county by relatives and
placed in the home of an uncle, a
farmer of Millersburg township with
whom he lived six years. The people
of Millersburg township remember
him during this pediod of his life as
sturdy, hard working farmer hoy,
by force Of circumstances denied all
of the luxuries of life and deprived
even of the many small pleasures
which seem so necessary to the nor.
nal boy.
WINTER SCHOOLING.
He attended the district school dur.
ing the winter terms until 1885. In
the winter Of 1856 be did not attend
school but did such odd jobs of work
as he could find by which means he
secured enough money to purchase an
outfit of clothing and such school
books as he would need for the frs
years course in a high school II
September, 1856, having procured &
place to work for his board. he entered
the Aledo high school from which he
graduated in May, 1883. having provid
ed for himself during this time

. perseverance,.

Stamina Wood Dark Hues.

The appearance of walnut may be
given to white woods by painting or
sponging them with a concentrated
warm solution Of permanganate of
potassa. The effect is different on diff
ferent kinds of timber. some becoming
stained very rapidly. others requiring
more time for this result The per-
manganate is decomposed by the woody
fiber. Brown peroxide of manganese is
precipitated. which is afterward re-
moved by washing with water. The
wood. when dry, may be vanished
and will be found to resemble very
closely the naturally dark woods.-Har-

For the second consecutive time
Davenport high school won in the
Triangular debate held last night in
each OF the three cities. Each school
had an affirmative and negative
team in the competition, the former
debating at home and the negatives
leaving their own cities. The subject
OF the debate was Resolved that the
recently proposed reciprocity treaty
would have been a good thing for
both countries" The topic was one
which demanded considerable hard
work but the boys who made up the
various debating teams eyinced that
they had mastered their subject.

ports teams won both at home and
In Moline, Rock Islands affirmative
team won at home and lost In Daven-
port and Moline's affirmative lost TO
Davenport's negatives and the mega

local debaters. That gave Davenport
the championship beyond all question
and Rock Island is awarded second

MEXICAN LIKELY !. ID BE DEPORTED
Youth of IS Years Tries to Pass Through Port of Entry Without Exam
 ination at Naco
IS ACCUSED OF CRIME

Enrique Anaya, a Mexican, Is years old, was arrested here yester- day by immigration Inspector George lockwood Of Naco. charged with pass ing through port Of entry without examination. lie was lodged in the Bisbee branch county jail and lnspec- tor Shafer. Of Naco. will come for him this morning and take him to Tucson, where he will be examined by Alfred E. Bonnet, inspector in charge at Tucson.
 For a crime that was committed in 1909 fo- which AnayL paid the state of Arizona by spending two years in the reform school at Benson. the United States government will prob- ably C. der Anaya deported 10 Mex iCo
 Anaya Net Wanted Here
 The state Of Arizona. whose law he troke over three years ago by committing the offense of burglary. does not want Anaya. His penalty for that crime has been paid the state and so far as the state is concerned he is free to go and come at will
 After he had been released from the reform school and after, 1t is as-
 
 and made over into citizenship ma terial, Anaya came 10 Bisbee and went to work leading an honorable life so far as anyone knows to the contrary.
 Believing that he was a free man, owing penalty for 10 offense, Anaya went to Cananea and remained for several months. Then he started back to Bisbee, which he claimed as his home He was intercepted at the immigration office at Naco and after a preliminary inspection he was told to attend the immigration office on the following day.
 Anaya Goes Across Line
 For some reason Anaya did not show up at the immigration office on the following day. nor on the fol lowing day, nor ever again. He cross ed the international line and arrived at Bisbee.
 One of the conditions of admission into the United States is that the i'm migrant must be innocent of having committed a crime or crimes inyoiy- ing moral turpitude and it is said that the government will construe the burg. lary committed by Anaya before he at- tained the age of moral responsibili- ty as such a crime and on this ground will seek to have him deported from the United States.
 Law Conflict Cited
 The case cites a remarkable con flict between the laws of the United States and those of Arizona. if the view of the immigration inspectors that the crime of burglary committed over three years ago is ground .or deportation is correct.
 Anaya does not look as if he were a criminal. He Is weiI-bGilt physical ly. has a well-formed head and an in- telligent face. On the whole his ap- pearanCe is infinitely superior to that Of the average Mexican seen in the justice courts Of Bisbee. Yet because in his youth he committed a crime. for which he has paid every penalty imposed by the law, he is considered as having committed a crime invoy- ing moral turpltude.
 The immigration officials are actu- ated by a duty which is prescribed in black and white but the circumstances of this case seem to justify the con- clusion that the opportunity for the use of judgment, discretion and even has been excluded.

 According to the bulletin of the fed eral bureau of labor the average price of a dozeh or more of the principal ar ticles of food has increased 50 per cent in the last ten years.
 The price of flour has increased 39 per cent. lard 55 per cent, steak 59 per cent. hams 6l per cent, cornmeal 63 per cent, rib roast 63 per cent. round steak S4 per cent. pork chops SC per cent, bacon 96 per cent, and Irish potatoes II per cent.
 During these ten years of rising prices Roosevelt and Taft were at the head of the government Both of them want to be at the head of the govern. ment again.
 Does any sane man believe that if these men in ten years did nothing to retard the rise of prices which are expressing the people they would do anything in four years? Rather. judg- ing by the past, we should be paying approximately 25 per cent. more than we do now, or 75 per cent. more than SFe did ten years ago.

NEIL BAILEY SAYS
 NORTH FOR WILSON
Predicts Four Hundred Ma jority for Democrats in
 4avapai County

Hon. Neil E. Baily. formerly of this county, but now superintendent of the Jerome railroad in Yavapai county is attending the fair at Phoenix this week Quoting on the political situa. tion the Arizona Democrat says:
 Governor Wilson will carry Yava- pal county by at least four hundred votes over Taft and Roosevelt combin- ed" declared Neil F. Bailey of Jer6,ne who is a visitor in Phoenix attending the fair.
 Mir. Bailey has always taken a prom inent part in Yavapai county politics and Is in position to know whereof he speaks when he deals with political topics.
 T am an enthusiastic supporter Of Governor Wilson and for that very reason have made my estimate Of the Yayapai county vote in Wilson's favor somewhat lower than it will actually be. I have often seen a man carried away by enthusiasm make political predictions that have fallen flat For that reason ] have underestinated ii anything, the Wilson strength in Va vapai, he added.
 The democratic committee has tax en careful poll or the votes Of Va yapai county and from the figures o5- tained by the committee, Mir. Bailey is of the opinion tha' Goyern6r Wilson will receive at the least calculation 15O0 votes while Taft and Roosevelt will about evenly divide the republican strength with the third termer hay ing little the best of it. Roosevelt he estimates, will receive in .he neighborhood of six hundred votes, while President Taft will receive one hundred less, or about five hundred.
 The same conditions that exists jn Yavapai holds good in the other northern counties also according to Mir Bailey Counties in the nor-h that always have been republican strongholds will be found in the VII son column at the coming election, he says President Taft will secure the greater proportion of the north, ern republican vote. he thinks.
