Arizona republican., 1913-02-11

president so I would not have to smoke Big Bug cigars I am only an of the wanting of good things Let me tell you that you are not going to get young men to- day to smoke Big Bug cigars. They are not going to do it. They are not going to look down through the years and see nothing but q paupers grave This is not politics in Ameri ca It is but the plain facing of facts It is looking at the dan gerous attitude of affairs in Ameri- can life It calls for the most splen- did patriotism on the part of the American people. This govelnmen does not rest upon presidents, gov ernors. congressman and legislators. This government rests upon the judg- ment of every man, and woman in this country And these. your dis tinguished citizens, in this sacred hall considering splendid things for
 Arizona-they may pass laws and
 pass laws, but if there be no senu-
 ment behind the laws they will be as though never written.
 T do not know much about your governor, but I know what it is to have been d governor. and let me tell YOU that to have been a governor of d great state is one of the most 1 splendid things that can come in the i way of testing the soul of a man. : I think I may say this for your governor. that what he wants is good things for Arizona. l do not l know that I shall agree with single | thing that he wants. l have not read his message. You will pardon 1 me. governor, when l say that i would not read one of my OWL i speeches today if l had chance tc do so. and if I would not read mH 1 own would not read yours. came to Arizona not to read politics not to interfere in political mat
 ters, but just to look at the infan
 child of the republic and on thi: occasion want to put my hant lupon her head and say, God bles' Arizona.
 The legislature is the Legislature
 of the people A great many folk
 are saving that representative gov ernment does not represent, l insis
 that the trouble with it is that does represent That is what ails il
 It represents the judgment and con
 science of men, and it also repre-
 sents the carelessness and indifter
 ence of men. There is no man |
 this legislative hall, from the presi
 1 dent of the senate down to the pag , who has not his ear to the Sroun listening to the rumblines of tn people.
 "I do not blame men very muc , for what they. do. I blame tn S Deople. throw it back on you
 shoulders man gets to lookln through pair of spectacles. Il , cannot help it. Nobody could con
 vince me that my mother was nc p the most beautiful woman on eart
 I never heard anybody else say s I But she grew more beautiful to m 6 i every day. l looked at her throug s the spectacles of the child-her so ,. | who knew that if there was to | . anything in his life worth speallin n about it come through her.
 q .I blame nobody for lookir n through spectacIes. If man hf a been cotnsel for railway f' o twenty five years he rather talk d the railroad view. So if you p' 2. him in the supreme court, do n
 wonder if he looks through h = spectacles. This is not dishonest e He is just as honest as you al l. but, he is looking through his spe e tacles. 1 want a man who IS a d rested for contempt of court to lr tried by a jury. I was arrested | It contempt and I did not like to ia d the man who charged me with co h tempt l wanted to face someo n, else
