A REMARKABLE PROCEEDING
 (NOgaleS OaSiS.)

Tn connection with the appoint uent and confirmation of a judge for the federal court in Arizona there has been presented one of the most re- markahle proceedings in history. A jurist of long experience who had sat upon the supreme bench of the terri tory sixteen years, twelve of them in continuous service, and had served ac- ceptabl, as governor, is appointed by the President to the bench of the new ly created federal court in the new state. Ii was known that he was shortly to be appointed, and shortly before the appointment was sent to the Senate announcement was made that charges had been laid with the President against the integrity of the proposed nominee by well known law yers in Arizona. But no specifications of those charges is made public. What ever the offences charged the Presi- dert ignored them and the inference is that he considered the accusations as of no consequence.
 Then the opposition was transfer rel to the Senate and the accusations are said to be now with the judiciary committee of that body to which the nomination has been referred. But not one word of specification is made public. In this juncture the Arizona legislature takes a hand, and passes by a strictly partisan vote, in botf houses concurrent resolution, ad
 dressed to the Senate judiciary com
 mittee, protesting against confirma
 tion of Judge Sloan. That resolution was rushed to adoption, without de
 bate, over the protest of the republi
 can minority in each house. In al
 the proceeding the only allegation
 advanced against the nominee were
 that he had opposed adoption of th' constitution of Arizona and that h. leans toward ''the interests" But stil no Specification wherein lay the ot
 fences charged.
 When a man is condemned public : ly and openly by the legislative bod. , of a great state common sense O decency and fairness would prompt ; public presentation of the causes 3 his condemnation, with proof of tn charges made, which has not beel : done in the case under consideration
 The method pursued by the Arizon'
 legislature toward Judge Sloan i
 more like a stab in the back for part san purposes than statesmanllk , consideration of grave public ques ! fiOn

FREE SUGAR AND
 DIRECT TAxATIOf

With their free sugar policy, loss of revenue to be made up by an excise tax on incomes, the Democrats in Con- gross have begun campaign in the right direction. To take away the tariff graft from sugar monopolies may not be great item in tariff reform, but it is an influential one. To turn for revenue to the excise tax on in- comes, may not count for much in this single instance, but it opens the way. Let the free sugar bill go to the coun- try next fall, coupled with the excise bill on incomes of $5,000 and upwards, and the great plutocratic edifice of tar iff-tax graft will begin to crumble: If these bills are first enacted into law, so much the better for the people and for the party that leads in this hope full crusade; if they are not enacted but the question nevertheless goes to the country, so much the worse for the opposition.

Prof. Herbert G. Lord of Columbia University has made Col. Roosevelt subject in his course of psychology, and decides that he is lacking in the delicate quality of negative self-feel- ing. MT Roosevelt" he said, has met and known every one of impor- tance and he has attracted the eyes of the world by his great career. He did not have to get shot to make him famous. This life of praise has creat- ed in him a tremendous energy of positive self-feeling. It is pretty hard to take that kind of champagne and not feel light in the head.
 His self-assertiveness has carried him forward to a point where it is unsafe to go further. If Col. Roosevelt had been killed in his African hunt he would have died great man and the whole world would have worship ped at his bier. But at present he has overestimated his position in this country. Since his return he has nour- | ished this feeling of assertiveness to the utter exclusion of negative self 1 feeling"

A FULFILLING QUESTION

There is a difference of opinion throughout Arizona in regard to the recent vacating of the call for gran and trial j,rors, which it was claimed at the tirle. was irregular and not ac- co~li1.:: to statute.
 In this connection the Tucson Citi' 2tn sa.S
 Pima c.,. nty is th,, only county in Ariz.:;a where the grand jury holds sess:nS. There has been some dis putc among the judges and the attor ney general of the state as to point on the drawing, which must be held under the supervision of the presiding judge, the probate judge, sheriff, clerk of the court and one layman.
 With the admission of Arizona to statehood the position of probate

Public Opinion

judge was abolished. It is the conten- ton of the attorney general that the presiding judge could not fill both po- sitions, as in so doing he would be dis qualified in hearing the cases which come before him. The superior court of Pima county is in session through out the whole of the argument, and the criminal docket is just about con- pleted.''
 Superior Judge G. w. Shute when asked his opinion in regard to the mat ter said yesterday: Tt is my opinion that the jury can be called in the same way as before the state constitution went into effect as the statute makes provision for drawing in the ab' sence of any of the officers provided by statutes.

The words Republican and Democrat mean noth- ing in the consideration of such topics as direct legislation and the Recall. Col. Roosevelt and MT. Bryan, Repub- lican and Democrat, agree in uphold ing the Initiative and Referendum and practically agree upon an application of the Recall to courts. Gov. Harmon and MT.

FREE SUGAR. BOWL
(N. Y. American)

IN. :.
 A bill for personal income tax and free sugar bowl, which the Democrat ic caucus in Washington unanimously voted last night to report to Congress is the most progressive legislation that this exceedingly business-like and ef- ficient Democratic Congress has yet devised. For the people have for many years greatly favored reasonable tax on large incomes, and they have been even more united and outspoken AGAINST the protection of the Sugar Trust.

ANOTHER CRITICAL PERIOD

Not since the critical period just preceding the civil war have the lead ing parties been in so strange and so precarious a position. Each has in the blunders of the other the possible chance of overwhelming victory, and each is in peril, through the malign temporary titular authority ofsits most mirepresentative element, of defeat so complete as to probably forerun it's permanent dissolution and the rise of a new and dominant party on it's ruins

WOMAN SUFFRAGE BILL

The Woman Suffrage Bill has passed the House ant present indications that April B the Senate vii !, likewise. According to the Secretary of the Woman frage League Arizona there only two newspaper importance opposed to Woman Suffrage, i. e., Tn ,uglas International and the Copper Era. Under dat February editor of the Copper Era, in reply letter received from of the Woman suf ge League asking to state position on the impo mt uuestion, wrote as follows
 Clifton, Feby, 10, 1912 Mrs. Squire Monroe,
 Yuma Arizona,
 Dear Madam:
 I am in receipt of your enquiry under date of February 9th
 Personally, I have always been opposed to wo- mans suffrage for the reason that believed wo- mans best sphere is outside of politics, and still hold to opinion.
 Womans Suffrage, in other states, seems to go hand in hand socalled progressive" ideas of government which interpret to mean transfor nation of form of government from repre- sentative to that of pure democracy in the application and national Initiative, Refer endum and Recall.
 At present this proposed transformation of our form of government is apparently popular with a majority of voters in Arizona. If laws are to l.e enacted by majority vote at the polls and annulled by the procedure; if court decisions are to be set aside by a majority of the voters,N who under the Recall, propose to administer the law themselves; if all departments of govern ment are to be taken by the voters and man. aged en masse-why the more the merrier
 am not those bigoted male species who considers the female species deadly. On the contrary I believe intelligent woman has the mental capacity, the intelligent man. to solve questions of state government, but seriously doubt whether majority of women really desire the right of the ballot.
 If question is to be submitted, as con stitutional amendment, I should favor the plan of submitting it to election where both men and
 hello hiS and l. for one, would quite willing to abide by that decision
