A Judicial Executive

In his address on Tuesday night Governor Hunt disclosed in a single word his failure to comprehend his precise position in the state, government Speak ing of his acts in reprevng murderers, he said: T have exercised a JUDICIAL. function granted to me by the constitution The function to which the governor alluded is not in any sense judicial as he discharges it. Nor, is it ministerial It an arbi- uary power which he wields, and it was not in tended that it should be wieded bndly.
 The judicial act of public officer involves the exercise of his discretion judgment in a question affecting the rights any party; that is the rights of the party under the law. In case has Gov ernor Hunt performed such a judicial grant ing a repreve to a murderer. Governors frequently and usually, exercise this power judcialy. They closely examine the record brought before them with the aid of their legal advisers. They inquire into circumstances which may have developed after the trial of the condemned and they weigh the effect those circumstances might have had in the trial If the governor finds that such circumstances would have indicated the innocence of the defendant or would have resulted in his conviction of a lesser offense, executive clemency may be properly ercised
 The governor hos never, we believe examined the record in any brought before him with the purposes of being guided by it's contents In every the governor knew precisely what he was going to do before the record presented He knew what he would do before the case went to trial if as result of it, the defendant should be convicted and sentenced to die. He knew precisely what he would do in all such the moment he as sumed office
 There has been the slightest inquiry by the governor into the rights of the condemned under the law as it exists. The governor only believed that the condemned had been deprived of a right under such law as in the opinion of the gov eInOr should exist.
 Is it the mistaken notion of the governor that to condemn law is to exercise a judicial func- ton? The courts themselves constituting the judicial branch of the government not invested with such judicial power the governor exercises. as he thinks, in judicial capacity.

 That will depend entirely upon the legislature in The absolute effectiveness of the "stinger" at the earliest day can be guaranteed only by the cleo ton of men to the legislature who are in sympathy with the amendment The progressive candidates are in full sympathy

The Three Parties

We suppose that within the weeks a very large majority of the voters residing in. convenient to, the towns will attend one or more political meetings and will more sets of candidates for county and offices. We hope that as many voters possible will attend the meetings of all three of the parties and compare the candidates and the uterances of the represen- tatives of all the parties Such attendance, sure, will result in a largely increased vote for the progressive candidates
 The republicans dilate upon the departed glory of a great party and call up ancient ghosts. They find a still more fruitful theme in the fraity of modern and especially local democracy which has made such wreck of the government of Arizona.
 The progressves deal with present and every day problems promise needed relief and show defi- nitey how it is to be obtained. The progressive candidates fearlessy take position on the one issue in which the people the interested, the dry amendment, which will bring 10000 more voters to the polls on November than would come but for this issue which is to be settled there
 At the democratic campaign meetings in this city on Tuesday night not the slightest auson was made to this issue. The governor and all the other speakers ignored this looming question. So at the opening republican meeting it ignored, and since then a republican speaker or news has given the slightest hint it's existence. Can the democrats and republicans believe that it will be no matter whether Arizona be wet or dry? Has either party an issue which it will dare tell the voters is more vital than this one?
 Privately, they admit it's great importance but they say it is political; that it is non partisan. That is true. So is every great issue in which the people are really concerned. The tariff is non- partisan. The trust question is non- partisan. Every question that affects progressves repub- hcans and democrats alike is non partisan The only purely partisan question is, Who shall hold the offices?" The people have concern in that issue They only want to know that the who shall hold the offices will employ and enforce really non-partisan which the people want adopted The republicans and the democrats will tell the voters what their candidates would do if elected to the offices.
 The man who will not state his position on a partisan proposition is either afraid it or is opposed it. The people do not want either enemies towards to them.

MEN AND WOMEN NOW LIVING ID SEE 2NO COMING
Adventists Renew Prophecy of Millennium in Yester- days Meeting at Local Camp Ground Many Lii censes Granted

White-haired men and women now living, who have passed the age of TO- will still be alive when Christ re- turns 10 the earth in the glory clouds of heaven accompanied by great hosts of angels. according to the statement of Elder c. w. Reaser, ex-president of the Nevada confer ence of the Seventh Day Adventists in a sermon at the camp ground North Tenth and Pierce streets, last night He proceeded to prove his statement from the Bible. His sub ject was The Judgment
 "I candidly believe" he said, that many people now living, who have passed the mark of three score and ten years, will still be living when the curtain drops on human proba- tion. this event to be closely follow ed by the second coming of Christ" Continuing, he said:
 Scripture postpones the day of lretribution until after the final in- ivestigative judgment That God had appointed a day in which he would judge the world was the assertion of the apostle Paul All, whether they want to or not, must stand before the judgment seat of Christ. There is no escape.
 The Bible tells of three judg- ments: the investigative judgment, before Christ returns to earth, which determines who will receive eternal | life, and who among the living will be translated without tasting death. The second judgment is when the re- deemed of earth, associated with Christ, will determine the degree of i punishment to be inflicted upon the wicked. That work will be done in
 heaven during the 1000 years after Christ comes. The third judgment is
 executive in it's nature, and consists
 of the overthrow of sinners when the
 earth is purified by fire.
 The investigative judgment has
 been in session just 70 years this
 year, according to the Bible pro-
 phecy."

The "Stneer" Must Be Sure and Effective

We printing in the Open Forum" this morning article by MT G. F. Rinehart, under the title of Tt Has a Stinger" in which he indulges in friendly criticism of recent editorial in The Republican The editorial urged voters who favored the dry amendment to vote for legislative candi- dates who would give it force and effect, and for executive officials who would enforce such legisla tive might be passed make the amend fully effective
 It is the contention of MT Rinehart that the amendment will be made effective by the votes of the majority. He drew the amendment with that object in view; the offense of importing, selling disposing of alcoholic liquors defined and the penalties prescribed. The amendment given the usual form of legislative Even the date when it shall take effect is prescribed, Jan uary l, 1915.
 The amendment it is drawn if it receive a majority of the votes, will probably go into effect that date lacking yet machinery to make it operative, though that would depend entirely upon the action of the for the constitution pro- vides that all initiative measures shall become laws after their approval by majority of the voters and upon proclamation by the governor, AND NOT OTHERWISE"
 Complete as the amendment is in itself there is something more to be done which will have to be done by the legislature though if the legislature should decline carry out the expressed will of the people, the people themselves would still have the power to initiate the needfu legislation though that would take time. Further in relating the his tory of the preparation of the amendment MT. Rine hart says: However we knew that number of legislative enactments would have follow give full force effect to the amendment, Kansas and other states have abundanty demonstrated and

Joe Ewalt was UP from Springdale,

days here with his parents, Mr.. and

er relatives and friends. A feature q
his visit was the fact that ON Satur.
day Joe, together with his brothers,
Robert and Lot, and sister, Mrs. Jack
Morrison, all took dinner with their
parents, the first time all had been
at home at one time to spend a day
for about thirty years, and it is need
less to say that the occasion was a
most enjoyable one for all concerned.
Joe is still in the real estate busi-
ness and says he Is doing fine. He
thinks the country where he lives is
the very finest in the world and he
fails to even except Kansas. Most Of
the country around is especially fine
for growing fruit Of all kinds, and
hundreds Of cars are shipped out Of
Springdaae and nearby towns every
year. Most of the farms in that sec
ton are Of about forty acres so the

those who oppose the bill that the
education that is given the young
people in the agricultural schools IN
the past had tendency to take the
boys and girls away from the farm
instead Of keeping them on the farm
and there may be some truth IN the
contention, but with the constant in-
crease Of population that will neces--
sarlly come in the next quarter Of q
century, it will be necessary for
some means to be provided to make
the soil more productive and to re-
tain the fertility of the soil. This
Is the purpose of the Lever Bill as
we understand 1t, and whatever adds
to the sum total OF the knowledge
Of the farmer as regards to the soil,
to plant life, and to seed selection,
and improving the standard of farm
animals, will In our opinion be worth
all that it will cost the country to
