Where the People are Muzzled.

We do rot know where the democratic tral committee obtained it's authority to name dele to the democratic national convention and name national committeeman. Four wears ago these se- lecons made by the votes of democrats at a primary which arranged by the central body. We have il is law in this state providing for primary to elect delegates presidential venton that that may become function of a cen ra committee with largely assumed authority.
 There is this year issue within the demo- cratic partv to the nomination of candidate for president Whether not all the democrats in Ari- zona enthusiastic Wilson there is no other candidate the horizon and there is likely to be other. But still, under system of popular rule of which heard so much four and five years ago, we think the common people would like to be con suited. Though there is only thing be done at St. Louis. the democratic may have felt interest in saying who should perform Arizonas share in doing 1t.
 Perhaps the democratic voters primary woul2 have made better selection than the committee has done. On the recommendation of the commit the voters might have selected the delegates in this But conceive of situation in wlch the democrats Of the stata might he divided to the nomination of president they four ago and such action that taken by the central committee Saturday would leave faction, and it might he the majority faction with a voice.
 Anyway. the symmetry of our boased popular rule system should be preserved. It should not, in event, be destroyed by democrats who lately took all the credit to themselevs for its installation in Ari and who widely heralded the fact that the peo- pie of other state in the Union enjoyed such measure of popular rule

The Reliqious Prizefioht.

Tomorrow is the day when Mr Frank Moran, an aspirant for the highest pugistic honors had ranged a with Mir. Jess Willard. whom he hoped make then and there his predecessor one with Johnson, Jeffries, Ftzsmmons, Corbett Nneveh and Tyre few days ago it was announced that the experiment of MT. Moran had been postponed March 25 at the urgent request of the expermentee Mr. Willard Various rumors were unoosed as to the cause of the delay. It reported that Mir Willard had a bad cold; again. that having lived too uXuriousy since his last engagement, he had become too fat and We all know that the place of fat in prize ring is inappropriate as is his place in human affections is impossible, for have we not all heard that nobody loves a fat man?
 But it turns out that the postponement was not requested by Mr. Willard because of bodily dsabil- ties He impelled by something higher by an almost spiritual motive, for he says:
 March falls upon Ash Wednesday, a day that is held in great respect by the Christian world I have any number O. friends, cergymen and devout church folks who would not attend fight under any sid-Iaton that day. Rather than deprive them of the opportunity held out for postponement. I believe that there thousands of folks who will applaud me for making the change
 Of course if MT Rickard and his partner, MT. McCraclen insisted upon fighting Moran on the original date, would do so. Though I had a rather severe cold am satisfied that if it absolutely necessary l could get in shape.
 !irr'ly believe that though man follows fight ing for living there is why should respect the religious beliefs of his friends.
 As many will recall, my fight with Jack Johnson in Havana to have taken place on Easter Sun day. wanted to change the date. but at that time had no say m the arrangements. The date changed to the following Monday thereby respecting the feelings of the folks in Cuba And, believe me, l was just as delighted they

McConiqIe's Statement.


 Several days ago an article appeared la The Republican intimating that the brick being used ir the construction work now under way al the Northern Arizona Normal school at Flagstaff is not safe or right kind.
 Having been appointed by the Nor maj School Board to have charge of the construction work. I feel it my duty to reply to that statement which was made by a school teacher named Leslie Gooding.
 I sent four bricks to the State Uni- versity at Tucson to be tested and have just been advised by wire by A. F. Miller, foreman of the work and my head man, that the university has re- ported the following on the test: Crushing strength of brick samples are 372 pounds, 592 pounds, 712 pounds, Sll pounds, an average of 622 pounds.
 Of the four bricks that I sent to be tested, | went out into the yard at the Normal and got the first brick men toned above out of the cull pile. The other three brick were taken out of the building. All four were addressed to the university The above report is the result of the tests. and we will get an official report soon.
 The tests showed the average to he G22 pounds. while the average of the two sent in by Gooding, according to i his figures, was 3S6 pounds. am willing to back up the asser- tions made herein bv affidavits il necessary. I manufactured these bricks and haG them put into the building l I invite investigation.
