"ARiZONA'S YESTERDAY"

A very interesting work on the pioneer days of Arizona is the Autobiography of John H. Cady, proprietor of the Pata- gonia hotel, in which he de scribes the overland jourDey as a trooper in the First United States cavalry, the trip to the coast and return. the laying out of Military plaza, Tucson; sta tioned at Fort Crittenden in 1867, and his narrow escape from the Apaches while carry ing mail from CalabaSas in 1868. These and other thrilling incl dents are incorporated in the book, which tells the story of Mir. Cady's life, and which is titled "Arizona'S Yesterday.
 MT. Cady has been assisted in the preparation of the work by Basil D.. Woon as secretary, a newspaperman formerly on the Phoenix papers, and more re- gently with Villas army as re- presentative of the New Yolk Globe. e.-PatagOnia.

Col. Weedin, 60, Gets Real Bouquet.

Thomas Weedin, aged sixty, Tuesday all day, was the re- clplent of numberless congratu- lations and a large bundle con- taining exactly sixty fine big Salt River valley carnations. In spite of the fact that it was a
 eeStone in his long and varied caree4r'- Register Weedin of the United States land office, stayed on the job ali Tuesday, except for the short time he speut in accepting the good wishes and flowers presented by the workers in the land officc-and James P. Lavin. Lavin. as a former clerk in the land office, was numbered among the donors of the flowers. In accepting the bouquet, Col. Weedin said that if the practice was kept up, some day his good men and true friends would have to buy him an even ten dozen carnations, and present them in the same land office. Which is as good as saying that he ex- pected to live to double his pre- sent age and to last as long as the democratic administration would last ..'.'-
 And to talk about Arizona summers hurting anyone" said Register Weedin in telling that he has only been out of Arizona one month during his entire thirtyfour years residence. A person grows fat in the summer time. It agrees with anyone. Just look at me-" he said as he told of his sixtieth birthday.
 Weedin was born in Boone vile, Mo, which was named after Daniel Boone, the famous Kentucky explorer. His ancest- ors came into Missouri from Kentucky with Boone.
 Weedin lost his parents while a young boy and at the age of nine became a newsboy on the Kansas City Times. At twelve he began to learn the printers trade and later started his career as a reporter. .-...
 He has been in the newspaper business forty years and during that time started a number of papers. S.-Blade-T Tribune.

WARNINGS.

It is none too soon to sound the sentiment of the state on the subject of revolving the in itiative The time is especially opportune while the recent election is still fresh in the minds of the people; while the resentment aroused by the rash ly conceived and weakly drawn initiative measures is at white heat.-BiSbee Review.

NO ARiZONANS NEED APPLY.

All help on the Santa Fe lines in Arizona will be employed hereafter in California instead of Arizona as result of the new Arizona anti blacklist law.
 w. $. Goldsworthy, agent for the Santa Fe, has just received instructions not to hire any more local men at all, the letter stat ing that when he wants help he must send to California.
 This action shows that the anti blacklist law gives local men absolutely no chance at all to obtain work on the Santa Fe. It is an example that the law is detrimental not only to men coming into Arizona looking for work, but absolutely prevents a young man of Arizona starting out.
 As one local man said, mo one wants to hire a person un- less he is allowed to ask fe W questions in order to inquire in to the applicants past eXper- fences.
 The Santa F'e has also felt the effect of the new 80 per cent law which provides that so per cent of WOrkmen must be Americans. Discharge tickets to the extent of sixty have been received at the Santa. Fe offices. s.-Gazette

Vice President and Wife Coming.

Vice President and Mrs. Thos. R. Marshall will leave Washing ton on Saturday to come to Ari- zona to partake of their Christ mas dinner with MT. and Mrs. w. B. Kinsey of Scottsdale, parents of Mrs. Marshall. They had originally planned to come here for their Thanksgiving din- ner, but owing to the vice pre- sident having lecture engage ments in the east they were compelled to forgo the trip at that time, and they ate their Thanksgiving dinner at Penn sylvania.
 Owing to the brief holiday vacation of congress they will remain here only two weeks. During the several times they have visited this section, they have endeared themselves to a great many people, and are al- ways assured of a hearty well come.
 The vice president is not only a democrat in politics, but is thoroughly democratic in his na- ture, and while he presides with and ability over the most dignitied body of men in the country-the United States senate of the senate chamber he is plain 'Tom" all.-Gazette.

OF PRISON REFORM
Better and More Sanitary
Conditions Urged for
State Criminals
DISCUSS THE DEATH
PENALTY LATER
speciaI 10 THE EVENING JOURNAL.

Special to THE EVENING JOURNAL.
MILFORD, Del, Dec. S.-The Mill
ford New Century Club recently gave
program on prison work to a very
appreciative and sympathetic aud
fence The prisoner, particularly the
first offender, was shown as one VINO
had failed to get, under the existing
social conditions, certain necessary
training along physical and mental or
moral lines, and so lacks the develop
ment that would have given resistance
10 the forces that swept him into his
present state. Il was held that prison
reform from this viewpoint must be
an attempt to supply even at this late
date in their lives, by means Of sani-
tary conditions and treatment of the
diseased, by educational chances and
vocational training, and by uplifting
influence and encouragement OF their
belief I'm their power to make good
that which they have missed in early
life, and that which will tend TO pre-
vent their return for later onenses.
The financial saving to the state that
this would mean was then discussed.
The following articles were read:
what Is A Criminal?" 1.-The Amer
lean Prison System of Today Re
cent Changes In Sing Sing and "A
Petition to Congress From The Ari-
IONA state Prison" The latter paper
asked the unlimited mail privileges,
which the Arizona prisoners are now
eni~ying. for all other prisons.
The work of the l. p. Library
League, In Washington. d. c., and its
bureau for correspondence with pris-
oners was explained. The enthusiasm
of this meeting led to the appointing Of
committee OF seven 10 investigate
tho prisons of Delaware and find out
what changes are needed to supply
proper surroundings and constructive
training TO the prisoners and to make
report Of this to the club. The com
mittee met with its chairman, Mrs. G
w. Marshall, on December 2. to dis
cuss methods Of procedure. Investl-
cation of the three prisons will b.
made personally by those interested
and help will be asked toward the fol
lowing ends
1. Better and more sanitary sur
roundings.
2. Observation-Disclosures first often.
ders to be kept from the old and hard
ened ones; the merely weak or acct
dental prisoners from the vicious; tn,
healthy from the diseased.
3. State aid toward prison librar

A. Unlimited mail privileges.
g. Vocational training when dc
sired.
6. A State farm. or other provision
for discharged and paroled prisoners
where they may be given a start to
ward an honest and Industrious life.
Z. The abolition of the death pen
