Mrs. Murry of Spokane, must now be a regular cut-up. She was sued by a doctor for his bill for an operation. Mrs. Murry says he stole her appendix while per forming the operation, when she never told him to. To prove the doctor had taken away things that didn't belong to him, she submit ted to a second operation to prove her statement. Such circumstan- ces would lead one to believe that the doctor will have an exceeding ly difficult time in collecting that bill.

Is THE GOVERNOR THE LAW?

If an individual violates the law he is punished-should governor who is supposed to uphold the law any better?
 The following from an exchange should open the eyes of the people as to just what is happening in this state.
 "The spectacle of a governor publicly assailing a high court of his state is without precedent in the annals of the Republic.
 "The governors control over the judicial branch of the govern ment is no greater than that of the humblest private citizen. The verdicts of iuries and the courts are not subject to revision by him, except that he has the power to grant after conviction, reprieves, communications, paroles and par dons. In the exercise of this power he has arrogated to himself the right to nullify the law prescribing the death penalty for murder at the discretion of the jury, and he has often stated in public inter views and in speeches to public assemblies that he would not per init the law prescribing the death penalty for murder to be carried into execution during his term of office, and in accordance herewith, upon the sole ground that he is opposed to capital punishment, he has uniformly commuted death sentences.
 "The theory of monarchial forms of government is that the reigning sovereign rules by divine right, and that he is the depository of supreme power, that whatever of liberty the people possess or enjoy is a gracious grant on the part of the sovereign, and the power 10 pardon is "a dispensing power of the sovereign. A crime in such a country is not against the govern ment, but against the King. With us, the theory of government is different. If a man commits a crime in this state, he is proseC- uted for having offended not against the executive, the legislature or judicial branches of the govern ment, but for having offended against the peace and dignity of the state" Therefore, the doctrine of divine right and obedience has | no place in the institutions of a | free country"
 The court held that the governor could be impeached for abuse of the pardoning power and that one abuse was to assert private views as against the law and public con sideration. Capital punishment, the court added, is a requirement of law that cannot be set aside "upon the mere whim of the ex- ecutive authority"

WHAT THE LADIES
 ARE GOING ID DO
Phoenix, Oct. 3O, IoI3.

So many inquiries have been pouring in since the announce ment of the new state wide Ari- zona Reform League of Women Voters, that am detailed to send you a sketch of our aim and pur. poses.
 Speculation has burned at fever heat. Are the women of Arizona going to become militant? Will their parade be a peaceful one? Are they going to overturn poli- tics? Such are the questions asked. It may naturally occur to the m i n d S of the public, stirred as they are now, by the more or less true stories concern ing the visit of the great leader, Mrs. Pankhurst. Perhaps they expect to keep the fire department on extra duty that day. The League will set things afre, cer- tainly, but the glow will be con- structive.
 The rally on the sixth, at Phoe- nix, will have two objects: First, to celebrate, in some way the joy we feel, the splendid victory of a year ago, especially remembering the gallant and democratic atti- tude of the men of Arizona. The victory was one of the most pro- nounced that has ever won for suffrage, the vote being nearly three to one, while the cost of the campaign was very small, the lightest ever borne by state winning this cause. The program celebrating this event will be of fitting worth. The governor, the mayor of Phoenix, Hon. Lloyd Christy, the State President of the Federation of Women's Clubs, pr. Agnes Wallace, the president of the recent state suffrage forces, Mrs. F. w. Munds, Mrs. ]. Partch, Miss Telford, Mrs. D. w. Heard, Prof. Meserve, of the Uni versitv of Arizona, representing pr. Wilde, the president, Mrs. E. w. Wells, celebrated club woman and Christian Scientist of Prescott, Mrs. E. O'Neill, a sui frage leader, MT. D. B. Heard, and noted visitors from abroad have been asked to participate in what promises to be a historical event in the state. How far reaching its influence may be will be readily seen when we consider that it is to be the foundation of perpetual organization of the state women into a reform league. 1.
 Permanent offices, with an ex- pert secretary, are to be main tained. Women and men as asso- ! ciate members of all classes will ! be admitted to membership, while l no class will be permitted to die tate the policies ot the league. l. Its meetings will be open to the public. Its constitution will be passed upon only after the most thorough-going discussion.
 The devoted women, who have battled for the ballot, and are now night and day to pre- serve its integrity, deserve the support of every citizen of the state. You can apply for mem- | bership or information of Mrs. Jennie Partch, P. o. building, |. Phoenix.
 If you wish to preserve the democracy and social health of this great sovereign state of Ari- zona, get behind this greatest which your state has

TIE LOADING BEGINS.
Barge McNally in 0ccoquan Creel
for New York Cargo.

TO load a cargo of railroad ties for
New York the barge Raymond McNally
has arrived at the mouth of Occoolan
creek, and the tug James O. Carter has
been sent from this city to carry her up
to her loading point on that waterway
The McNally will load the first cargo Of
ties on the Potomac this season. but she
will be followed closely by the barge
Clara Brooks, which is to load in Mat
toX creek, Va, and will also take her
cargo to New York The two vessels will
take away about 10000 ties, and L. A
Clarke & Son of this city is the shipper.
The Clara Brooks is under charter for
a year to run ties between Alexandria

the one she is nov loading. Later in the
season other charters of vessels to carry
ties to New York and Boston will be
made by the Washington dealers.

Judge Adams was particularly pleased
with the workings of the non-support law.
which compels delinquent husbands to
care for their wives and children or go
TO the worl1house for a term. He COM
mended the clause which empowers the
Judge to turn over any additional penalty
in the form of fine to the needy wife
or children.
More than a thousand men, according
TO court officials. are now at liberty in
Washington under suspended sentences
on condition that they make a stipulated
weekly payment through one of the sta
ton houses for the support of their fami
lies. The regularity with which these
payments are made and the amount OF
money paid in each week through these
channels were particulars. commended by
Judge Adams.
