BANK EXAMINER SIMS.
Selection of Popular DonaIdsonviIle
Man to Fill Important Office
Meets With Unanimous Endorse
ment and Appreciation.

Hon. R. N. Sims, of this city, Wh<
was appointed state bank examines
bv Gov. Hall to succeed w. L. Young
removed for cause, has been the re
cipient of a large number Of letters
kilograms and other communications
Of an exceedingly complimentary na
ture from personal friends, bankers
and men Of prominence all over the
state, expressing enthusiastic ap
proval of the selection of Mr.. Sims
to fill this important office, ano
declaring in cordial terms that the ap
pointment is one which reflects cred
it and honor alike upon the broad
minded chief executive of the state
and the capable appointee.
| Many of the newspapers of Louis,
lana have added their voice to the
chorus of praise elected by this
popular appointment, the general ten,
or Of their remarks being indicated
by the felicitous sentiments here
with quoted from few of the lead
ing journals:
A Good Selection.
The News-Star desires to extend
its Fluctuations to Governor Hall on
the excellent choice he made in the
matter of appointing an examiner
of state banks. Hon. r. N. Sims, of
Donaldsonville, is man worthy of
the responsible position to which
he has been appointed, and We are
sure he will faithfully and conscien-
tlously discharge the duties incum-
bent upon him.
Nick" Sims, as he is familiarly
addressed by those who know him
best, has served the people well and
zealously in more than one public
position. He was a member of the
railroad commission some years ago,
control of the state penitentiary. In
both positions he proved his worth
and displayed executive ability of an
unusual order. In politics he is an
independent Democrat, with the cour-
age to back his convictions In tae
1908 campaign Mick Sims was the
manager of the Wilkinson guberna-
torial campaign. In 1912 he was an
ardent supporter of Hon. John T.
Michel, and in both campaigns he as
serted himself and labored earnestly
for the success of the candidate
whose cause he espoused
Governor Hall, we think, made an
excellent selection-one that will do
much to allay the bitter factional
animosity that has heretofore ex-
listed. Mr.. Young, deposed by Gov
ernor Hall, will resist the author
ity exercised by the chief executive
in naming his successor There are
some fine points of law involved in
this matter, but 1t does seem to a
layman that if governor has the
to appoint an official, he
should have power to remove him.
That matter, however, is to be de-
clded by the courts. In The mean
time, we extend congratulations to
both Mr.. Sims and Governor Hail.

coMMENDABLE PUBLIC SPIRIT.

It is a source of sincere pleasure to
public spirit exhibited by the Lem
ann Company, Limited, in the mat
ter of offering the donation of sites
to any factories that may desire to
locate in this community, and in ac-
ceding to the proposition of the
South Louisiana Fair Association for
the purchase at a nominal price and
on long and easy terms of payment
of the A-muz-u Park, which offers an
which the association expects to hold
at DonaldsonviHe.
It is a fine advertisement for this
city and parish to be able to an
nounce that any legitimate manu-
featuring industry can find here a
free site for its plant, and the value
of the inducement is greatly en-
HANGED by the agreement of the
Municipal Light and Water Commits
enterprises at reduced rates, and, in
particularly meritorious cases, to sup
ply power free Of charge for a linn
tied period.
The commission is entitled to a
liberal modicum of praise for joining
the Lemann Company in offering
such valuable concessions to new
enterprises, and our Vigilant and &C
tive DonaldsonFiIle Chamber of Com
merce also comes in for share of
popular acclaim because of the part
it has taken in encouraging and Sc
curing the tender of these induce
ments b
Our community is fortunate in the
possession OF such citizens as those
composing the Lemann Company, the
Municipal Light and Water Commits
sion and the Chamber of Commerce.
Their presence and their deeds go
far toward proving that Donaldson
vile is a good place to come to and
its people the right kind to live
among.

Mr.. Sims adds to very large tech
nical qualifications one of the most
winning personalities in the public
life of Louisiana. His personal pop
ularity, built on long association of
varied public and private services,
is one of the widest in Louisiana.
He was much surprised
on visiting friend of Mr.. Halls
by request to be asked If he would
accept the bank examinership. He
was reluctant about it at first, but
on being urged to consider the matter
as much on public as Son private
grounds, said he would A brief con-
ference with the governor and the
announcement of the appointment
followed
The governor remarked that he
had a number of others of all polit-
ical colors under consideration, but
after surveying the field had con-
cluded that Mr.. Sims long expert
ence, wide personal acquaintance
with the details of state banking and
bankers made it advisable to name
him in preference to several other
excellent men who had also been un-
der serious consideration.-NeW Or

COMMISSION FROM ARIZONA MADE
 GOOD SHOWING
Important Hearing Before Interstate
 Commerce Committee at Chicago
 Was Conducted by Arizona Com nnissioners Led By Jones and Geary.

Six western states, whose represen- iatives have been in attendance at the Interstate Commerce Commission hear ing in Chicago during the past week, have united in a telegram sent to Phoenix, in which the strongest praise is expressed for the able manner in which the Arizona Corporation Com mission has presented and handled the interests of the western shippers and consumers at Chicago.
 Arizona has borne the brunt of the battle in this hearing, which is ad- mitted on all sides to be the most im- portant to western shippers in many years Victory for the shippers means the saving of hundreds of thousands of dollars annually to western receiv- CTS of freight shipments.
 This is the first big freight rate case in which the western states have solidly united to fight the railroads to prevent rate increases an ddiscrimina- ton. In the rate department of the Arizona Commission practically all of the exhibits in the form of tables showing rate com mparisons were pre- pared.
 Frank DsSouza, secretary of the Arizona Commission, has received the following telegram from Chicago in approval of the good work done by Arizona:
 Chicago, Ill.,, Oct. 12, 1914. Arizona completed the direct testir mony in l. c. c. hearing here Satur- day, with F. A. Jones as witness and w. P. Geary doing the examining Arizona people have well oiled ma chine, and I congratulate your. state on the effective work done here. All the Inter-mountain states were united in opposition to the railroads, with Arizona and Nevada in the forefront of the battle. This is one of the biggest cases ever tried before the Interstate Commerce Commission, and all of us are proud of your commis' sioners and the effectiveness of theil work. These men opposed the rail road talent of the west, and have rendered magnificent service to every western shipper and consumer in the Inter-mountain region. Enthusiasm over their work here prompts the sending of this telegram. Nevada Idaho, New Mexico, Utah, Colorado California, and other western states join in this expression of approval oi the Arizona Commission.

PROHIBITION LAWS.

Prohibition laws have been passed because voting majority of the c1t1- zens have thought it desirable to close the saloons hoping thereby to restrict the sale of liquor to the comparatively small but very obnoxious minority who are made mentally and morally abher- rent by it's use.
 In 25 years fifty per cent of the United States has been made "dry" territory by legislation, either state wide prohibition or local option. Dur ing the same period the amount of al- cohol consumed hasmore than doubled. Since 1850 the per capita consumption of liuuor has increased five-fold.
 It would appear that those responsi- ble for the spread of prohibitory laws were in league with the distillers.
 As Illustrating the effect of prohi- bitory legislation, the finding of an investigation by the Interstate Com merce Commission decision on which was rendered June 20, 1911, is es- pecially significant.
 The case grew out of complaints about express charges and the com mission in filing it's report, commented on the growth of the mail-order liquor business, which began about 25 years ago.
 "At that time it was of small pro- portionsp said the report, "very few packages being shipped, and those only to a short distance. It was the spread of the prohibition move ment that gave vitality to this char acter of traffic in liquor. The report continues that as dealers were driven out of business, they settled on the outskirts of prescribed territory and shipped liquor into it. The report esti mates that the entire extent of the business based on figures presented by the Southern Express Company thai ''the entire volume of this traffic go ing entirely to consumers and not tc dealers, is in excess of 20,000,00O gal Hons per year"
 Referring to the vile brands of liquol thus dispensed the report says: "Whllt lit is not the function of this Comm1s sion to be influenced in its conclus ions by the moral aspect of the ques tion, it is impossible not to recognize in this traffic one of the 1mportan factors in the race problem of tn' South-the evil spirit back Of Una
 problem in more ways than one.

A UNIQUE MARRIAGE IS
 STAGED IN GRAND CANYON

The Shriners cannot be said to be the only order which has used the Grand Canyon of the Colorado for a show; as the Ancient Order of Lovers proceeded them few days.
 With American, Gypsy and Navajo Indian ceremony Miss Ruth Comfort Mitchell, author, playwright and dau- ghter of John s. Mitchell, was mar ried to William Sanborne Young, a retired Chicago broker, in the Grand Canyon last Saturday evening.
 The wedding ceremony was first held in the Three Pine Canyon where Rev. c. K. Alexander, of the Flag staff Presbyterian crurch, officiated with the customary American cere- mony.
 This was followed by the Gypsy wedding ceremony in which hotel guests took part. The Navajo cere- mony was performed by the Canyon Indians. Many Indian baskets were given as presents by the hotel guests. The license were procured from Su- perior Clerk Chas. H. Adams.

ARIZONA HAS RICHEST
 COPPER MINE IN WORLD

Out near the Grand Canyon, little east of north and distant about 90 miles from the enterprising town or Blackberry, which is also the nearest railroad and outfitting point, there Is the richest copper mine on the face of the earth.
 When it is remembered that from I2 1-2 to 4 per cent is good commer- cial copper ere, some indefinite idea may be had of the extraordinary value of this property when we state serl- ousIy that the ore carries copper values of 72 per cent.
 Not only is this fact but ore mas actually been shipped carrying these values es.-Kingman Miner.

A. J.Wilde-
 At five o'clock on the afternoon of Thursday occurred the death of A. J. Wilde, who had resided for num- Der of years at Morenci and who had resided in Arizona for more than thirty years. MT Wilde for several years served with the United States army, and was stationed at the various old frontier forts of the then territory, phase of his life which was of great Fservice to the Sparsely settled com- munities when conditions were tubu- lent. During his residence at Morenc1 he was connected with the store of the Phelps-Dodge Mercantile company, in the capacity of director of their furniture departments, line of work he followed during practically all of his adult civilian life. In this busi- ness he was engaged for several years at McKeesport, Pennsylvania. He leaves widow and eight child ren. four sons and four daughters, to mourn his passing. Of the children, Mrs. T. c. Williams, Mrs. Scott lBrubaker, Miss Wilde, and Frank Wilde, with the youngest child, son not yet reached majority, reside at Morenci.
 Another daughter, Mrs. W. J. Eel lows, residents at Globe, and is ex- pected to arrive at MOrencl OH tue dl- ternoon of Saturday, as will son, Jos., who is now with the United States army at Fort Bliss. Another son, married, resides at McKeesport, Pennsylvania, and will not be able to be with his relatives in their bereave- ment.
 The funeral, under the auspices of the Catholic church, of which the de- ceased was a member, will be on the forenoon of Saturday, with services at the church at seven-thirty o'clock, fol lowing which interment will be at the Morenci cemetery. The Elks lodge of Clifton, will participate in the burial ceremonies, as will the local military Icompany The Phelps-Dodge Mercan' tile company's store will be closed, as a mark of memory, Saturday forenoon until eleven o'clock.
 Probably no man of Morenci held warmer the affections of the towns people than did MT. Wilde, whose dis position and services were such thai lhis passing is a distinct loss to the
 town.
 Death was caused by chronic affec
 tion of the heart. He was confined
 to his home for only a few days be

some of the best lawyers in the state controvert Rinehart's interpretation if, indeed, it is his sincere opinion, for he has stated in his printed argu- ment in behalf of the measure that "it makes no exceptions or conces- sions" Let us see if it does.
 In an opinion given by Eugene S.. Ives it is said: Tt is difficult to con- ceive of any language more sweeping than that employed by the framers of this proposed amendment. It prohi- bits the introduction into Arizona of spurious liquors under any pretense. No one who reads the proposed amendment can escape the conclusion that if it be adopted the introduction

"No EXCEPTIONS,
 NO CONCESSIONS"

Even fanaticism, it appears, has it's soberer moments, moments when 1t shrinks from the accusing aftermath of it's own orgies. So we find C.. F. Rinehart, the Hessian general of the prohibition forces, "explaining" the dry amendment-this after he has boastd Gin his argument in the pub- licity pamphlet issued by the state) that fit (the dry amendmenD is the first proposal in the world on this question that makes no exceptions nor g Today RinehaIt, sober ed by the arbitrary language of the amendment itself, is explaining that the amendment has exceptions and that it makes concessions.
 However, Mr. Rinehart's saying so does not make it true that the amend ment is not as unreasonable as 1t seems. On the contrary, the very fact of his saying so makes it des1r- able that calm-thinking people investi- gate it.
 In asserting, in his argument in be- half of the amendment, that the amendment makes no exceptions nor concessions" MT. Rinehart has stated an objection which has turned many from the amendment-hen the lex planation. It is an eleventh hour change of front, a retirement to a covering position. It is a fact that the amendment makes no concession nor exception, and 1t is the discovery | of this fact that has driven the advo- cates of the amendment into panic.
 In his explanation" Rinehart says 'the natural conclusion is that any one can import all the liquor he wishes so long as he uses it for legal purposes, which, of course, include medicinal culinary, art and sacramental pur- poses." He says further in his 'fex- planation'' that nothing is attempted" except to get after the liquor traffic, that there is not one word that indi- cates any attempt whatever to pre- vent the sale of medicines or the use of wines for sacramentel pur-
 poses" It is pertinent here to state
 that Rinehart is not a lawyer, so his interpretation should be accepted as only his own view, which, in the very nature of things, should not be regard
 ed as ex-cathedra, but rather as a plea.
