The one amendment to the con- stitution that the people of Flag staff are directly interested in is the act permitting cities and towns authority to incur indebtedness not exceeding fifteen per cent for municipal purposes. The amount now is four per cent which will not permit a bonded indebtedness sufficient to handle the water works project. The amendment is numbered 1o7 and Io8 on the ballot. Don't overlook this one if you want to help move things in Flagstaff next year.

From present indications the vote on the laws referred to the people and the proposed amend ments to the constitution will be exceedingly light. T h e little pamphlets sent out fail to give much of an idea of what the amendments are and generally speaking no attention was paid to them. As usual what is every body's business is nobody's busi. ness" and as a consequence only the few interested will take time to vote on the propositions sub mitted.

The dastardly attempt upon the life of Colonel Roosevelt at Mill waukee was shock to the people generally regardless of political opinion. The poor wretch who did the shooting was undoubtedly insane and hardly accountable for his act. It was apparent from papers found upon the person of Schrenk, the assassin, that he had gone insane on the subject of socialism and anarchy, The wound, it is thought is not a dangerous one, and it is hoped that he will speadily recover.

At Rawlins, Wyoming, about forty murderers made a success ful dash for liberty after killing the cell house keeper. The other prisoners were making a desper- ate fight with the few guards, hoping to escape. In Arizona these things are handled much better and without fuss. The matter of staying or going is put frankly up to the prisoners when they enter. The hours and amount of time for vacations are also settled upon so the business of the guest" is not interfered with.

The Bisbee Review says: The republicans are again trying to scare the American people away from the democratic candidate by the declaration that democratic success means strangulation of the country's industries. Gentle men, the day has past for that kind of business. The democrats will win next month and the tariff will be honestly revised DOWN WARD. Hit or miss, the people have made up their mind to this and no amount of republican alarm can change their course now"
 That seems to be the trouble with our democratic brethren. They do too many things Init or miss" They did it in Cleve- lands time and will do it again, regardless of what the results may be.

Governor Hunt has aroused general indignation by his reprieve of the four murderers from Yava- pal county. His proclamation on the subject in which he attempts to justify his course does not seem to satisfy the general public. The subject of recall is heard on all sides among democrats. Gov ernor Hunt could better find some means of wiping all criminal law off the statute books, thus elimi- hating the great expense necessary to convict felons, instead of first spending the county and state money in a farcial trials which only results in criminals being freed and apologized to for the brutal treatment accorded them by the law and county officials.

Sam Blythe's article on the presidential situation reads a good deal like the pioneer iustice's in structions to the jury: "If you believe what Lawyer Brown says you will acquit the defendant; if you believe what Lawyer Soakem says you will convict the defend ant; but, if you believe as do you won't know what the -l to do.n

Governor Hunt has reprieved the sentences of four murderers, all of Yavapai county, three of whom were to have been hung last Friday at Florence. The crimes committed by these men were brutal, premeditated and un- justified. There was no extenuat- ing circumstance and the governor attempts to justify his course by saying he does not believe in cap ital punishment The law does not justify his course and his action is absolutely in conflict with the law. By his action he sets himself above the law of the state, relegating to himself the supreme power to license crime at any time.
 His act will fail to convince the people of the state that he is sim cere in the belief that the people should make the laws, when he takes it upon himself to say whether or not they shall be en- forced when they are placed on our statute books.
