ARIZONA AT THE PANAMA
 EXPOSITION.
(BiSbee Review.)

Expression of opinion throughout the state in regard to what shall be done by Arizona in the matter of ex- hibits at the Panama exposition in 1915 at San Francisco and San Diego shows very general agreement throughout the state that Arizona can not afford to indulge in state build- ing at either of the eXpositions, but that something should be done by the coming session of the legislature to assist and insure such exhibits of the resources of the state that would do us credit. These exhibits will be wei comed in the great exhibit halls at San Francisco and San Diego and there is where they will attract the most attention.
 State building at a worlds fair IS nothing more than a club house for the use of visitors from the state; state exhibits would not belong there and if placed in the state buildings would be seen by few not residents of the state.
 The financial condition of Arizona is not such that would excuse the extravaganza of providing state buili- ings at the Panama expositions; the cost of our state government is con- suming the revenue brought in by in- creased taxation and for this reason there should be practiced strict econ omy at every turn. LuXuries are all right for those who can afford them, but a state with no more source of revenue than Arizona and with an empty treasury we submit should not allow it's pride to carry it into such useless extravaganza as providing buildings at the Panama eXpositions.

Public Opinion
COMING OF GOV MARSHALL.
{ .(Arizona Republican,


 We are glad to have Governor Mar shall ''in our midst" again; not be- cause he is vice-president-elect of the United States, but because he is a very pleasant and brilliant gentleman, and already, more than half an Ari- zonan.
 He is, moreover, courageous gen. tleman; otherwise he would hardly be in Arizona at this time. His con- ing is really more than an exhibition of courage. In the present state of the democratic mind in this state with respect to the appointive offices, it is an exhibition of temerity.
 It is true that as vice-president he will have no patronage to dispense. But the vice-president, especially be- fore and at the beginning of the ad ministration is very close to the pres ident, so close that it may be said that he has the smell of patronage on him by which the ravening office seekers from all parts of the state are likely to be attracted to his vicin- ity that shortly Governor Marshall will be attacked by applicants for the United States marshal's office in platoons; there will be candidates for customs and internal revenue collect orships in brigades and for postmas- terships in army corps.

HONOR FOR HAYDEN.
Has Been Elected Officer of the Rifle
 Association.

News of the election of Congress man Carl Hayden, of Arizona, as third vice-president of the National Rifle Association of America, an or ganization connected in an unofficial manner with the war department, was received here today by Adjutant General Harris.
 The rifle association headquarters are located in Washington, although it's membership extends to all parts of the United States. MT. Hayden was not only elected third vice-presi- dent of the association, but also chosen as a member of the board of directors.
 The president of the association lives in Maryland, the first vice. president in Maine, and the second vice-president in Ohio, so it will de volve upon MT. Hayden, as third vice. president, to preside over all ses- sions held in the national capitol.

THE RULE OF THE PEOPLE.
(Boston Commercial.


 Evidence multiplies that the people have no desire to rule,in spite of all that has been said to the contrary.
 Recently the people of the city of Boston were asked to choose three of their number for the council, the ad- ministrative body of the fifth largest city in the United States.
 The total vote cast was 40 per cent of those registered, the remain ing 60 per cent showing no interest whatever in the choice of candidates. This too in city which is supposed to stand for the highest ideals in citi- zenship
 It is true that there was no ques- tion but that two of the three men who would be chosen would be well fitted for the office but it does not ex- cuse those who remained away from the polls for permitting the most unfit of the four candidates to gain one of the three seats.
 If the 60 per cent of the voters of Boston are indifferent as to who coa-
  can be said of other cities where less claim is made of civic spirit and it is always the more intelligent citizens who are the most careless about ex- ercising their franchise?
 Through the direct primaries an op- portunity is offered every citizen to have his say not only as to whom shall be elected but as to whom shall be nominated for office. The vote at each successive primary grows less and vote of 40 per cent at a municip- al election does not show much inter- est.
 There is a certain class which al- ways votes at every primary and ev- cry election and this is the class which makes the nomination and brings about the election of it's can- didate. The situation has not been improved by the primary and it ap- pears to be the fact that the multi plicity of primaries and elections is breeding an indifference on the part of the voter

TUCSON MAN HAS
 A NARROW ESCAPE

TUCSON, Jan.' 24.-Charles C. Goodwin, an employe of a delicates- sen store on East Congress street, disarmed Crales Kreling, who he said was attempting to shoot him Monday night in front of the store. Goodwin seized the revolver, which was pointed at him, and wrenched it out of Krel- ing's hand. Only the fact that the weapon was half cooked, it is assert ed, prevented Goodwin from being shot.

CAPITAL PUNI SHMENT
 NECESSARY.

Editor New York American: Sir-One of the questions now being agitated is whether capital punish prisonment substituted. As I have had some experience with capital punishment, will you kindly permit me to state my views?
 For seven years I was warden of the State Prison at Dannemora, and executions. Naturally my position brought me in contact with the crim- inal classes of the professional type, as Dannemora is prison for men who have served at least two prev ious terms.
 a deterrent of murder. Would life imprisonment have the same dete-- rent effect? I don't believe it would. Let me try to prove it.
 Michigan has abolished the death penalty. When I was attending the Texas, in 1897, met General Cham berlain, the warden of the prison at Jackson, Michigan. He told me of a murderer sent to his prison for life. This man deliberately killed fellow convict before he had been month in prison. Shortly afterward he kill ed one of the prison officers. AS he was serving the highest penalty known to the law, nothing could be done to him.
 Kornell Loth, of Schenectady, whose execution took place at Dannemora while I was in charge, told me that the husband of the woman whom he had murdered (by chopping her to pieces with an axe) gave him $20 for the job. I remarked that that was a very low price to receive for killing a per son, and he replied that he would kill any one for $10. Was he fit to live?
 Charles N Davis was executed dur ing my time at Dannemora for out raging and killing a six-year-old girl at Cohoes. Will any father or moth CT say the punishment was too great? I was once talking with a man who was an ardent advocate of the aboli- tion of the death penalty, and neither was able to convince the other. Later during the conversation I inquired af- ter the health of his young son, fine young man. He answered me that he was well, but in business in tough part of the city. I asked him if some tough should kill his son, what punish ment should in his estimation be meted out to him. He replied: 'The law would never have a chance. Fl kill him in court. Still he woul1 have thought life Imprisonment suft- cient for the murderer Are we not prone to deal more leniently with a man who murders some one else's child or wife than we would be if 1t was our own?
 I am not of bloodthirsty disposi- tion, but I believe laws should be passed making it a capital offense to attempt to take the life of a Presi- dent, Governor or Mayor.
 I believe the delay in trial, -convic- tion and execution of murderer is encouragement to the criminal.

CALL FOR LEGIBLE SIGNATURE
Business Concerns and Hotels, as Well
AZ Legal Firms, Find Themselves
Compelled to Insist on That.

kindly favor US with legible sig.
NATURE" Ia an appeal now often en-.
!countered. 1t appears on the letter
heads Of many legal firm and ia
Iconspicuously printed on contracts
and other important documents. In
hotels this request is sometimes used
as heading on each page of the reg
lister or printed on a card. 1t hangs
in plain view Of the counter.
A room clerk in one Of the big
hotels declares that the task Of de-
,ciphering signatures has reached a
crisis. ....
ut has got to the point where we
couldn't bluff on names any longer"
he said. I'm these days of constant
teiephoning and telegraphing we've
simply got to be sure that every
guests name is correctly entered on
our books or there's bound to be
trouble.
"Of course successful hotel clerk
must have a gift for deciphering bad
signatures just as he must have q
good memory for names and faces,
but when a man we've never seen be-
fore comes in and scrawls a long
wavy line on the register without a
single letter plain enough to even
guess at, how are we going to call
him by name the next minute? He
may have important mail waiting for
him or he may be telephoned for any
minute, 30 our request for a legible
signature arises out of necessity"
A member Of a law firm on whose
letterheads is printed "a legible sig
nature is requested" says that these
few words have saved his firm much
trouble. Papers no longer have to be
returned for resigning, as was for
merly the case, because the first sig
nature could not be read. Before this
request for a legible signature was
made important legal documents often
had to be entirely rewritten because
one of the parties refused to accept
the signature Of some of the others
on account of their ELIGIBILITY.
A large employer of labor has made
it rule recently to have all applica-
tions for work brought to him. He
orders each letter folded so that the
signature alone shall show. He goes
over these, picks out the signatures
that appeal to him and gives these
applicants precedence over the others
