DAWES LIKES THIS
 WEEKS COLUMBIA BILL

Records were broken at the COlum- ba last night when "A Night on Roof harden" was produced. It is the best thing that the Boutwell, Browne com pany has done since they came here, and that is not all; the comedian went through almost the entire performance without springing smutty remark. Better than that, he was frequently off the stage for several minutes at time and once he narrowly escaped being funny All in all it was gala night for the audience We understand that this particular production was staged by MT Young, if that is the case he is much better producer than he is a comedian. It really was a corking good show, well put on, beautifully costumed and charmingly set; excellent value at twice the prices charged.
 We understand that Joachim Rick ards, better known as Art Rick, has leased the Columbia and will take con- trol of the theater today. We congrat- ulate the Columbia; it should mean an era of prosperity for both the lessee and the lessor In the short time that he has been in Phoenix MT. Rick has acquired an enviable reputation and a host of friends. He is a shrewd and capable theatrical manager and as a purloiner of publicity he is a gem of the first water-of purest ray serene. In other words he is a space bandit of extraordinary ability and already the city editors are running to cover.
 While he has not announced his plans as yet, we understand that the Boutwell, Browne company will remain at the Columbia two or three weeks longer and that they will be followed by company now being formed. One thing is certain, MT. Rick will give the patrons of the Columbia full value of their money.

statewide prohibition are a number of city and county officers, judges, mayors, sheriffs and others, who have have perjured themselves by refusing to enforce the laws they had made solemn oath they would | enforce, and not the prohibitionists. 1 The only courts that have come I into contempt are a few in which l the presiding judges have proven by their rulings and decisions that they had been corrupted by liquor influ ence and whom the saloon clement openly boasted of owning, body and soul.

 This press agent says there are more places in Tennessee where whisky can be brought under prohi- bition than existed before the law passed. If that were so what kick 4 old red-nosed soaks who do the vot- l ing for them and patronize their places?.
 Before the prohibition laws were passed in Tennessee every city, town, hamlet and cross roads store sold liquors First the small towns and country districts put a stop to the fnlI rp1 II for the past four years only the four large cities, Memphis. Nashville, Knoxville and Chattanooga have been guilty of any serious violation 1 of the law.
 In Tennessee there has never been q statute that would compel an of i ficer of the law to enforce the law 1 if he refused to do so. There were some forms of impeachment that might be brought, but in the coun . i ties containing the four large cities which openly violated the law the impeachment proceedings must be brought before bodies already con- trolled and bribed by the liquor in terests, so that any proceedings

 But two courses are left for citi- zens to follow One is to form d mob and do a little tar-andfeather ing or wait till election day and trs to vote them out.
 Since law abiding citizens don't form mobs, nothing is left but to keep voting till finally right pre- Vails.
 The greatest fights that have ever occurred in the Tennessee legislature have been to get a bill through that will permit the governor or some other authority to remove men from office who nullify. the law. That bill will be passed the next session and that will be the last of whisky in Tennessee.

President Woodrow Wilson is quot ed in a dry publication as stating in a letter to a man in Texas, T be

 It was in 1911, nearly four years ago, that President Wilson wrote that letter, and it was in a later that he made the statement quoted by the Arizona Self Government League in favor of local option. This state ment was reiterated as the preSi-

A REAL TENNESSEEAN.

In Tuesdays issue of The Republi- ian appeared an article on probibi- tion in Tennessee, emanating from the press agent of the Arizona Local Self Government League" that is a villianous misstatement of acts and wilful, deliberate fabrication which that shorter and uglier word' alone can describe with any justice to it's merits.
 Why God Almighty should soak a FOOT old piker like Ananias and let the press agent of the Self Govern ment League" get by is a mystery to me. Perhaps a lot of improve ments in Hades are being put in and he is allowed to run around till accommodations worthy of his genius are ready.
 I was born and reared in Tennes- see and spent thirty eight years cf my life in that state, coming to Ari- zona eight months ago. For a num- Der of years I took an active part in public affairs there and am thor cughly competent to speak of con ditions in Tennessee.
 The press agent of the Local Self Government League" a shrewdly designed fraud of a name, supposed that being so far from Tennessee he could deliberately islander it's peo : pie and falsify it's conditions and get away with it without contradic- hut r, -n5 hnt
 About the only true statement he made was that "a former governor of Tennessee who once said prohi- bition was a farce, is now featuring for the anti-saloon league" He failed to make any mention of why that former governor changed his mind so radically. That former governor s conversion to prohibition and his conversion was sincere-came only after he saw whislley make of his only son a drunken murderer who is now confined in an insane asylum, and himself. the governor, plunged to the depths of degredation and shame by the same indulgence il liquor. The governor was supposedly made drunk by political enemies who were also tools of the whisky inter ests and who were periured, bribed officers of the law. They took him to a house of prostitution in this condition and had the house raided by city and county officers, and the poor drunken ex-governor haoled to the police station and his shame l. II I. n a piece of dirty saloon politics where one politician tried to break an others power
 When the former governor sobered up and realized what whisky and his whisky friends had done to him, and is daily doing to thousands of others. he dedicated his life to driv- ing liquor out of the land and he is today one of liquors most powerful foes
 This press agent of the Self Gov ernment League says: Prohibition in Tennessee has paralyzed industry, made perjurers, brought courts into contempt and increased intemper- ance practically of every kind"
 The only industry prohibition in Tennessee has paralyZed is a num- Der of distilleries and they are total ly paralyzed, with no hope of recov- cry. That is the industry intended under the law to be paralyzed. The legislature, which meets in Tennessee next January. is going to pass addi tional laws which will prevent any resurrection of that industry.

TAYLOR SUICIDE
HEARING TUESDAY
Inquiry Into Disposition Of Dead
Mans Property Will be
Held Tomorrow,

An inquest over the body of Laur-
ence L. Taylor who committed suicide
Saturday and whose body was discov-
cred at o'clock Saturday after
noon, will be held at the court house
probably tomorrow afternoon at 4
O'Clock. The inquiry is expected to
develop number of important facts
concerning the dead mans effects
and their disposition.
That Taylor was suicide there is
no longer doubt. Strychnine in his
stomach and bottle half full of it
in his room are evidences of the
method and erumpled notes in a
wastepaper basket display his un-
doubted intent. One note was ad-
dressed to Mrs. Burrill, his landlady,
and explained to her about the dis
position. of his body. However, it
was subsequently torn up.
The location of one or two horses
that he owned and a diamond ring
were still in doubt and il is for the
purpose of determining the extent of
his property that Coroner Yunker
has called the hearing. If any of his
property is recovered it will be
turned over to the county court for
legal disposition.
OAAS VI wv "ithNsSCo w NJ W. ilOt
live in town will be called in for
testimony. They cannot reach here
before tomorrow, however, and the
hearing will be conducted with the
assistance of District Attorney Weis-
er who will be free from his grand
jury work at about o'clock.
Taylor's body was found late Sat
urday afternoon by George Wash
ington and Luther Gilbert. friends of
his who went to his rooming house.
They found the door locked and en-
tered by window. His lifeless
body was found but a physician was
called and when his death was as
sured the coroner was notified. This
was at $50 O'Clock. Since that time
the officers have been making dill
gent inquiries and hope to clear up
several mysteries at the official hear
ing.
Taylor has been here about a year
and was well known figure on the
streets. He stood over six feet high
and was young and rather progresses
ing in appearance. His relatives
have been notified but no response
has as yet been received.

SINGLE TAX LAW
TO Be INITIATED
Sentinel Special Service.


Denver. Jan. 26,-Barney Haughey
who has been interesting himself in
pushing the single tax proposition in
Colorado, announced today that dur
ing the next few days a petition will
be filed with the secretary of state
authorizing the initiation of a bill
which will provide for single taS
amendment to the state constitution
The question will provide for reduc-
ing taxes on personal property and
on improvements % per cent each
year until the end of four years. AT
that date taxes will rest entirely on
land values and franchises.
In the meantime, Mr.. Haughey de-
clares that vigorous campaign OF
education in the interest of the single
tax system will be pushed throughout
the state by committees to be named
for that purpose.
Mr.. Haughey believes seriously that
the question is going to carry by a
good majority. A meeting of the
leaders in the movement in Colorado
will meet early the coming week to
determine exactly the character of the
bill to be submitted to the people
when 1t will be filed with the secre-
tary of state.

Of a peerage by James Bryce late

consequent seat in the house of LORDS
Is the greatest acquisition the Lib
eral party has received to its mem
bership in the upper chamber since
Lord Morely took n similar step.
OF the whole membership of the
Liberal party no man has more in
fluence with the people of England
than Lord Bryce. His support of any
question pending will consequently
be most valuable to the government.
and as he is a thorough radical. it is
not likely that the government can
produce anything particularly in the
line of social reform that will not
meet with his approval.
Home rule also gains n valuable
advocate in the upper house. for
Lord Bryce, although himself an u
ster man, has always favored Glad
stonian home rule for Ireland His
influence, however, will no doubt
be used TO bring about settlement
