pie of Arizona, democrats, republi-
cans or bull moose will sanction and
uphold such business they will have
a rude awakening to their mistake
when it is too late to save them
selves or the democratic party.
The present legislature is much to
blame for the reckless extravaganza
that has featured Our state govern
ment from the day of its beginning
to the present day. Commissions,
boards, assistants, deputies, clerks
and stenographers have been herded
at the state capital until the sum
of their upkeep makes one dizzy to
contemplate. The added expense over
what was required to run the old ter
ritorial government amounts to prob
ably more than was required
for all purposes previous to the
beginning of the present admin
istration.

wisdom and justice OF courts and
juries in determining such matters
is in the interest of the protection OF
society and good government.
1t was never contemplated for a
moment that the powers lodged in
state executives to stay the execu-
ton OF criminals carried with it
the right and privilege of setting
aside statutes and constitutions be-
cause of PERSONAL VIEWS upon
the propriety of capital punishment.
These powers were very properly
given to governors to right any
wrong that might be committed in
the name of the law; to interpose
executive cIemency to a convicted
man when new evidence was dis
covered which disclosed his inno-
cence or justification of the crime
committed. But never was it given
to a governor to be applied indis-
criminately to set aside the verdict
of jurors and sentence of courts
at will, simply because the individual
in the governors chair entertained a
sentimental notion against capital
punishment. Governor Hunt ought
either to obey the laws he made oath
to execute or resign his position as
governor. We do not believe in this
loud acclaim for recall, but no man
is above the law and no man ought
to set himself above the courts and
the peoples verdict. When he as
sumes this position he is either a
fool or a knave or both.

A DEMOCRATIC WARNING.
(Bisbee Review.)

1t is time for the democrats of
this state who believe that the demo-
cratic party has other and more lofty
purposes than that of providing an
official salary, to speak plainly re-
garding conditions in this state which
if allowed to continue will not only
ruin the democratic party but will
impoverish the commonwealth. At
the first state election the demo-
Gratis conferred honor and office on
those who had fought for progressive
principles on the pledge given that
the new state would be governed
along the lines of business methods
and economy.
The result has been Disappointing
and we are confronted today with a
statehood government founded on
the most reckless extravaganza, and
for the most part, in the hands of in
competent men, but men who as
sumo such high rate of Importance
that they may not be advised by
anyone and who devote the most OF
their time in abuse of newspapers
and democrats who would point out
conditions that will surely wreck the
party in Arizona if they are not
abandoned.
With the majority of the board
of control openly and defiantly
ignoring the law in making the
purchases for the public institu-
tons precedence and example
is set which is a license to every
state official, appointed or elected,
to do as he pleases, regardless of the

WOMEN Do NOT.
UNDERSTAND
NEW LAW
They Must Register Be-
fore May !, or Not
Vote for a Year

Although the registration books
at the county recorders office in
the court house have been open al
most a month but few women have
taken advantage of the opportunity
to register. 1t is evident that the
women do not understand the stu
alton or they would go to the record
er's office at once and register.
If the women do not register be-
fore May 1. 1913, they will not be
able to register again before the
same date next year. That is, they
have two weeks in which to regis
ter.
The law requiring the books to be
open at the present time and to re-
main open until May I, is an emer-
gency law passed by the present leg
islature at the last extra session. 1t
was done for the benefit of the wo-
men but the women apparently do
not know it.
1t was intended to have the books
remain open all during the summer
Some of the members of the legis
lature, in order to make it bit diff

cut the time down to May l. In or
der to resent this action some of the
women are getting busy now and
they intend to see that all the women
possible who are eligible are on the
registration books before May |.
If the women want to vote at any
of the special elections. they must
be registered. 1t is now certain that
there will be a special election on
the matter OF capital punishment
Petitions are being circulated ask
ing for such election and over 900
signatures have been secured.
Prescott women need not fear be-
ing bothered by crowds of men at
the recorders office because the
men are nearly all registered and
only one or two drop in during the
day. Some days not man appears
to be registered.
In order to register a woman must
have lived in the state a. year and lit
the precinct one month. She must
be 2l years old, able to read English
and to write her name. She will not
be asked her age.
In view of the interest that is be-
ing taken in the matter at present
it is believed the women will take
advantage of the privilege extended
| to them.

THE GOVERNORS VETO.
phoenix Democrat)

The Democrat does not propose to
abuse the governor for his veto of
the penal code. 1t is his privilege
and right if he deemed it prudent
to do so, but his message is not
in harmony with the facts in the
case and his plea for broader privi-
leges and greater latitude is absurd.
No man, president or governor,
ought to be clothed with autocratic
power. No official ought to ask for
such an un-American privilege as a
special plea to the lawmaking body
for power to set aside the laws of
the country and trample every statu-
tory right into the dust. Bigger,
drawer and more patriotic men than
Governor Hunt have tried such
things and no man in the history Of
the world, since civilization was born
has ever succeeded. Laws are enact
ed for officials to obey and not to
violate, and the legislature owes it to
itself and the good name of the
state, to re-enact the penal code as
found in the murdered bill. If the
governor had stood upon the theory
that his opposition to capital pun
ishment compelled him to defeat the
measure, and not the demagogic
plea of curtailment of powers, IT
would have been another matter.
The history of this state admins
tration is ablaze with the records of
the wanton waste of power, disre-
gard of the constitution, utter and
deplorable trampling upon the stat
utes of the state, ignoring the rights
of juries and courts, and setting
aside the edicts of both whenever
such judgments come in contact
with the governors ideas of the
proprieties OF the case The COVER
nors of the various states of this
republic have for years demanded
of the legislatures the curtailment OF
executive powers, deeming it unwise
! and improvident to lodge such arbi-
trary and far reaching authority in
the hands of one man. But now
comes our Arizona car, who has
been shrieking "let the people rule,
for many months, and demands that
re be clothed with powers that the
KING OF ENGLAND HAS NEW
Err SOUGHT to exercise in the
most corrupt period of its govern
ments history.
The penal code which met it:
death at the hands of the governor
gave him power to reprieve any con
victed murderer for a period not ex
ceeding ninety days, upon the dis
covery of new evidence in the case
and allowed the governor to be the
sole judge of what constituted new
evidence, a power, in our opinion
too broad to be lodged in the hand:
of any one man, particularly an Off
cial who from the beginning of hi:
administration considered himself
ABOVE THE LAW. The Democra
