Rebuild Tombstone
 Risbee Highway

State Highway Engineer Lamar Cobb will shortly put between fifty and seventy-five convicts to work on the state highway between Douglas, Bisbee and Tombstone.
 1t is expected that the work will begin about July l5, A stockade will be built near Bibee and the convicts will work under guard. In all prob ability there will be about one guard 70 ten convicts.
 Cochise county has some $40,0 900 to spend on road work this year. Much of this will be spent in maintaining the convicts on the Douglas Bisbee- Tombstone state highway and in building she Fairbanks bridge.
 Some of the prisoners now at the Tempe bridge will be moved to the new road camp, but most of the high- way workers will be t.ken directly from the penitentisry. J c. Ryan now in charge at Tempe, will be the superintendent there.

A Globe dispatch says:
 "Mrs Martha Jsckson died ct the county hospital Wednesday, aged 70 years. Her son George Jackson, is serving . term in the Florence peni tentisry for robbery. On her death bed she asked that . isrewell be said to her son for her. and expressed grief shat he could nos be st her bed side. The tesrs of sorrow clouded her eyes. e death cloeed them for the last time."
 The PROTECTOR believes such rnes- sages of love and affection should serve some good purpose in the re- demption of the wsyward youth.

Citizen Ford to Leave Us

The announcement that f. I. Ford has found
promotion in the Chesapeake and Ohio Rail-
way company which ne has served 80 faithfully
and efficiently all his life long Is gratifying to
his fellow citizens in Newport News. 1t Ia pro-
motion richly deserved and Is in line with the
established policy of the well regulated corpora
ton. Mr.. Ford started at the bottom, but he
was as loyal and useful when, boy he
toted water for the workmen when he be-
came superintendent of the company's extensive
terminal properties at Newport News What
ever his hands found to do In the company
service. he did with his might. The officers
soon recognized his ability and advanced him
step by step, until he has now become one Of
its division superintendents. nor Is that an
and he will go higher up as he gains In ex-
perience.
News is to lose SO valuable citizen f. l..
Ford. He has been as loyal to his town as he
has been to his company and he has shown
real genius In serving both without conflict:
lin serving both without deteriment to either
but with advantage and benefit to both. That
accomplished it. were 1t not for his sincere
devotion to both corporations. 1t Is not divided
affection that has guided him. but Joint affection
which manly man feels for his father and
his mother. Mr. Ford has been as faithful to
Newport News to the railroad company and
as useful to one to the other
The Daily Press gives expression to the SEN

contend that the use of alcoholic liquors Is in

Some years ago the Roosevelt OF Europe an
nounced boldly that "the beer habit is the curse

making an effort, not without success, to indu-
ence the students OF his country's universities to
abstain from It's consumption or at least to be
more moderate in It's He has caused in
vestigatons to be made. which proved to his
own and to many others satisfaction that the
beer drinkers were the least capable workers and

efficiency decreased In direct ratio to the beer.

precedent that may have influence with the
courts OF the State into which Harry Thaw shall
be sent II deported from Canada, is that, fire.
late Of New York. now OF Gotham. Va. who
escaped from Bloomingdale in 1900.
Chaloner came to Virginia after escaping from
the asylum into which the courts OF New York
had committed him, and has never been extra
dited In fact, no efforts to that end have ever
been made by the State OF New York, though
his relatives made strenuous attempts to have
him recommitted. Chaloner. however was de-
clared sane by the Virginia courts and later
by those OF North Carolina, and has been free
man ever since.
There the analogy ends. New York was not
as anxious to secure Chaloner as 1t is to return
Thaw to Matteawan, and Chaloner is not dan
gerous to the community in which he resides
as is Harry Thaw The latter Is numbered
among the criminal insane.
At present Thaw has the advantage. He must
be deported from Canada before New York can
get custody OF him. and even should Canada de-
eide to take this step. 1t is probable that che will
return him to Vermont, the State from which
Thaw crossed into Canada. The State OF New
York would then have to ask his extradition
from Vermont, an extremely doubtful undertak.
ing. Thaw is not criminal. There ran be no
criminal charge laid against him. He has been
acquitted OF the murder Of Stanford White, and
as a lunatc can be charged with no crime which
may have been committed since that time,
! A way out may be found. but the laws OF
States and of Canada seem to be favorable to
him.

tests showed that the heavy drinkers are. ~ q

Now he has become q teetotaler himself and
has allowed public announcement TO be made Of
the fact He has always been abstemious in
his drinking. and 1t Is understood that he has
taken nothing OF alcoholic stimulants for some
time. but now he is permanently and publicly on

his influence will extend throughout the nation,

true philosophy OF flawfess friendship
Is to keep all your friends and add new
