The decision of the Supreme Court

Maryland and Oklahoma the erand-
father clauses designed to restrict
to white citizens the privilege of vot-

ernment to the negro race. II may
render necessary revision of the pres
ent practices in some States, and
compel the adoption Of new means
for the preservation OF existing con
ditions. But the Caucasian will con-
tinue to rule. II Is conceivable that
IN some communities the exclusion
Of black mems votes may be les, COM
plete in consequence of the decision,
but the practical effect will BE of no
moment
There is no sentiment of substan-
tial importance North or South for a
radical change in the political status
Of the negro in the Southern States.
For years the House Of Representa-
tives through its committees on CON
tested elections has unifc rmly refused
10 overturn the results OF ballotines
! in which the protestants based their
claims on the refusal 10 allow negroes
TO vote. In these refusals there has
been no partisanship. Tile supremacy

Editorial Opinion
THE REGINNING OF IMAM.

From the Scientific American.
In your correspondence column of

unfit for the rough work of the cam
paign; it showed dirt too much. So
orders were given TO have it dyed a
brown color called khaki, used by
the natives. This was at Ahmednug-

law in this state the wages of men working on city, county or state buildings are exempt. It is the view of this organization that no such special law should stand, and they want the California statute put into the Arizona code on this subject.
 Still another law proposed as need ing amendment is the homestead ex- emption statute, which now exempts homesteads which arc valued at $4,- GOO. The desire is to reduce this ex- emption to $1,5OO.
 While A. H. Powers is secretary of the local business mems association, a meeting of this organization is soon to be held at the Yavapai County Chamber of Commerce rooms to select Prescott vice-president for the state organization who will also represent Flagstaff, Kingman, Winslow, Holbrook and St. Johns.

MUCH WORK FOR
 LEGISLATURE TO PERFORM

PHOENIX, Jan. 9-Arizona's sec ond legislature will convene here Monday with vast amount of i'm portant work, including the detailed application of the prohibition law, confronting it. Both branches of the body will have woman legislator for the first time. Mrs. Frances w. Munds of Navapai county in the sen ate and Mrs. Rachael Barry of Apache in the house. It will begin work. also, with its power curtailed for the vote on the initiative meas ures was taken from the legislature and the governor by d constitutional amendment carried at the November election.
 Principal among its problems is the development of police rcgula- tions," providing for the application of inc prohibition law, such as meth ods of search, the transportation of ,:quor through the state, its applica- ton to proprietary medicines and permission 10 use wine in the com munion service in churches. An cf- fort will also be made to make the oNNCllh NlCAtAAlOil Ol tllN dl law d felony instead ia misdemcanor.
 Taxation of the copper mines, the law governing which has expired has brought in little revenue recently be- cause of the assessment on the out put. A new measure providing some change in method is to be passed.
 The mass of initiated measures on the November ballot has caused the necessity of further regulation of this prcrogativc 10 be considered. The legislature cannot increase the per ccntagc of the electorate required on the petitions but restrictions on the method of circulation may be made, and constitutional amendment plac- ing greater restrictions upon the ini- tlativc can be ordered OH the next ballot.
 Other subjects before the legisla- turc will be a land code, creation of the office of state defender and state agent, the establishment of q prison farm and a state game preserve. revision Of the school laws and the lengthening of state officers terms from two to four years.

BOARD OF CONTROL MAY
 BE PUT ON SKIDS

PHOENIX. Jan. 9.-Abolition of the board of control and the creation of a board of public welfare is the object of a measure which will be presented at the session of the legis- lature. The new measure, which is modelled after the Wisconsin law, was prepared by State Examiner w.. H. Plunkett, and is included in his re- port to the governor.
 The proposed board of public well fare would consist of five members These would be the governor of the state, the chairman of the appro- priations committees of both houses, who would be members eX-ofticio, and two members to be appointed by the governor. One of the two mem- bcrs would be the purchasing agent of the state, and the other would be secretary of the board. The measure as drawn provides for a salary of S3000 per year for both active mem bers.
 An attempt was made at the last session to abolish the board of con trol and provide a board of public welfare, but the bill failed of adop- ton. Whether or not the legislature can now abolish the board is held by many to be debatable question, on the ground of measures adopted at the November election.
 At least two of the measures adopted, the old age and mothers pension act, and the industrial pur suits bill, provides expressly for the performance of certain acts by the board of control, and 1t Is held that any attempt on the part of the legis- lature to abolish the board would be contrary to the recently adopted law prohibiting the governor or legisla- turc from vetoing any acts passed by the people under the initiative clause of the constitution.

MINERS QUARREL AND
 FIGHT TO DEATH
(From Sundays DailYl

Peter Gaffney, who arrived yester-
 day from Tiptop district, after per
 forming assessment work for a man
 residing at Daggett, Cal, and was recently in the desert region west of
 Blythe, tells a sad story in which it Is believed two miners had a quarrel and fought a duel with fatal re- suits to one near Mule Springs, on the old stage road, from Ehrcnberg to San Bernardino.
 Interest is attached to the affair in this locality, for the reason that one of the victims was Elias Pitkin, who came to Prescott early last sum- mer from Ouray, Colorado, to look alter the affairs of the estate of an uncle. Maj. Pitkin. who passed away Tn this city some years ago. Find ing but little property left by the de ceased, PitlIin stated he had a friend mining in the Riverside range, and both would go on the desert for the winter to prospect for placer gold, with the Chucawalla range as their destination. They are supposed to have left for that place early in Sep tcmber and nothing was heard from either, except the finding of the dead bod y of Pitkin in a ravine near Mule Springs. The whereabouts of his companion remains a mystery.
 he body of Pitkin was found over 300 wards from the camp, and the theory that both men had trouble is given crcdence by note found on the body of Pitkin which stated: "We had miXup and I lost out" The property Of the men in the camp was found intact, while on the body of the dead man was over $45 in cash, and other effects that were not dis turbcd
 Pitkin had been dead for at least three weeks before his body was dis covered by d traveller in auto who got out of his car to shoot at a coy Ote, and followed the animal for half l mile up dry gulch, when he came 1pon the body. Before leaving Pres ,ott Pitllin informed friends here he would return in the spring. to pros )ect for quartz mines in this section, md his partner would be with him.

MINERS MAKE STRIKE
 ON DESERT
BOBLETTE BROTHERS OF PRESCOTT ARE LUCKY OWNERS OF BIG GOLD PROPERTY
(From Tuesdays Daiiy.)


 Bakersfield, Cal, newspapers of re- cent date give prominent mention of new gold strike that has been made on the desert twenty-five miles north east of Randsburg, that is creating very much attention in mining cir cles, and give the names of the lucky discoverers as Samuel, Edward and s. L. Boblett, of Prescott, Arizona.
 The location was made some time ago, since which time two skafts have been sunk, one 25 and the other 30 feet in depth, with crosscuts driv- en from the bottom of each. A sam pie test made of 600 pounds gave S10 per ton, while picked orc ran as high as $47 to the ton The strike is occasioning interest for the reason the orc in character resembles that of the Goldheld belt and the pay streak is fully ten feet wide. The country where this discovery oc- cured is virgin and had never before been prospected. The outcroppings were hidden from view dwing to deb- ris covering the ground from water spouts, and only one place was vis- ib1e to give any indication of min eral conditions being in evidence.
 Conditions being attractive the Boblettes started a shaft, and in a few feet from the surface struck the ore body, when they continued sink ing. The attention of F. M. Mer- rick, Death Valley mining man, was called to the strike, and after he made brief inspection, deal was closed whereby he secured a large interest He stated the mine had the ear-marks of future bonanza, and he will outlay a considerable sum in development. The nearest water to the camp IS six miles, and only a supply for domestic purposes is avail able
 The lucky Boblettes are we'll known in Prescott and this county, and for many years resided on Lynx creek. All left this city year ago, on prospecting trip to the above 'egion. It would appear as if their mission had been successful.

 Advance notices of the price to be paid for mohair of this season $ clipping, are gratifying, and six cents per pound higher than last spring will be paid" said R. B. Cannon, yes terday, of Kirkland valley, one of the representative goat raisers of this county.
 Cannon also mentioned the fact that the increase i'll price was un- doubtedlv due to the lack of impor- tations from Europe since the war started, and indications were that the price would reach to 40 cents per pound. This he stated will be the high water mark for the quality Of the Arizona range product, although it is believed those who make a spc- cialty of raising the animals that yield the finer fibre will meet with a like advance over the grades of this section.
 Cannon also stated that goat rais- ing for meat purposes shows rapid upraisc in recent years, particularly since the price of beef has been on the advance. The value Of the goat clip in this section will, according. be enhanced many thousands of dol lars over that of one year ago.

(From Sundays Daily

According to letter received from Coolidge, N. M., A. s. Goughcy, said to be from Jerome recently, and James Dubois, formerly of the Wick cnburg section, were rescued by Nav ajo Indians about ten days ago, while wandering around in the snow near Roof Butte in Northeastern Arizona. Both had their feet and hands badly frozen. They were taken to an In dian ranchcria and given attention, but their condition was such that it was not believed they would be able to resume their journey on foot for several weeks, it in fact it would not be necessary to perform surgical operation.
 Goughcy and Dubois are miners, and both left this section about one month ago, their destination being the San Juan placer fields in South ern Colorado, where a brother Of Goughcy is, in charge of camp They worked in lumber mills along the Santa Fc for about one month, to secure funds with which to travel.
