CHAPLAIN PRAYS A
PROGRESSIVE PRAYER

Phoenix, Ariz, Feb. 17.-Arizona, the
last Of the territories to be admitted
to the American untons has settAeu
down to the hUmdrum Of everyday lie
Geo. W P. Hunt the new governor
and Milford WinsOr, MS private secrs-
tary, are busy familiarizing themselves
with the duties OF the SubernatOrlat
office and the rest or the STATE anu
county officials are adjusting the mar
ness and learning the ms and outs OF
their positions Just now interest at
taches to the coming appointments Or
the governor 1t was expected several
of these would be announced tnaugura-
ton day, but the governor has decided
to defer that matter for a little time
Not even the appointment Of R B.
Sims to the position Of warden OF the
state penitentiary, which had been con-
fidently expected, was ANNOUNCED
The expected appointment Of sims has
put the political Wiseacres aback. as 1t
was believed for weeks prior to the in
auguration that Thomas Weed1n, OF
Florence, editor OF the Blade-Tribune,
Of that place, and a prominent Demo
cratic candidate for the gubernatorlal
nomination against MI Hunt would
pull down the plum But for reasons
known only to himself, and which he
has studiOusly avoided giving TO the
public, Mr.. Hunt has. IL is said, de-
cided against Weedin and selected
Furniture for Capitol.
Another matter Of interest is the
coming meeting Of the state legislature
which will be convened by the gov
ernor March IS One OF the Difficult
ties of the legislature, that OF provid-
ing furniture for the capitol, has been
| removed since president TAFT has
signed the bill authorizing the dona-
ton TO the state OF the furniture used
by the territorial officers
But there are plenty OF other mat
ters to be acted upon. 1t is quite GER
/ tain one Of the first acts OF the legs
| lature will be to resuDmit 10 the voters
/ a constitutional amendment restoring
/ to the organic law the judiciary re-
! call which was eliminated as a con-
dition OF statehood The Immediate re-
( Incorporation Of this measure was
strongly advised by ". J. Bryan in his
| speech here admission day and the
Democrats are ready to do about any
thing Mr. Bryan may suggest How
ever, il is not by any means certain
the new provision viii be similar to
: the old one. 1t IS quite possible II
i will be provided that. in the event OF
| the-recall Of a judicial officer the va
/ cancy shall be filled by appointment or
I By q subsequent election Some OF the
] Democratic officials are known to "a
/ vor this plan. though there are others
i OF the more radical sort who viii IN

| word But Il remains 10 be seen
whether they win be strong enough to
control

Tt is also quite probable an amend
I
/ win be submitted through action q the
I first legislature. The Federation OF
I Women's clubs is ardently in favor o.
I such an amendment and Is working
| hard for it, Also. many OF the more
/ prominent OF the legislators are in IA
vOr OF such an amendment and OF those
Z who are not exactly on that side OF the
question there IS number who believe
the matter should be put Up 20 the
I people on the pdinciple that the refer

1t looks as though the speakership

/ Something OF a ripple in both Demo
