Republican members of the United States senate, in a debate on the national guard mobilization on July 22 agreed unanimously that in the history Of the country had American troops been the mobilza tion camps with less hardships.
 T! ere h-s been considerable discussion of this mob lzation. There have been some complaints about the in which of the miltamen were sent to the border in day coaches. The Republican senators agreed that there was little basis criticism Tie debate in the senate eliminated the mobilization q possible issue in the campaign, except it reflects credit upon the efficiency the present administration with reference to preparedness.
 Senator Wadsworth Republican Senator from New York put the whole situation clearly when he said:
 q imagine it is safe statement to make, that no troops any other country been moved more comfortably than the American troops recently moved to the border, considering distance and the climate to which they have gone As compared to what we accomplished failed accomplish in the Spanish American this movement is remarkable success
 Senator Wadsworth a careful comparison be- the condition of preparedness country prior to Spanish war and condition of preparedness of today giving unqualified favor of present conditions
 Senator Warren, of Wyoming said that during his service in the Civil war he saw inside of passenger car; that the troops returned in cattle cars whereas recently the troops went in Pull

He willing admit he wanted to go to sleep When, then, he intensely dis liked to get into bed the refuge fagued and drowsy, mystery to the authorities His only objection was, But it's so soft"
 Finally, according the Chicago Tribune another of the boys explained in this wise:
 That kid ain't slept in bed before and he's scared of it. And he's sleep on the floor because else does it. He says he'll stick his nose in the pillow and die if he sleeps in the But he won't will he mister?"

mended by all who stand for law and order; he will be criticised by those who stand for the defeat of justice. or those, who through ignorance, know not the law or the rights of a presid- ing judge.
 "The action taken yesterday by Judge Lockwood has already been taken, we are informed. by no less than two other judges in the state of Arizona. The sooner these people find out that the great big majority of Cochise county people stand for law and order. the better. It should be recalled that Cochise county only went wet by the exceedingly small ma jority f28S votes, but the Jaw break CTS should not be mislead into think ing that although against the law, by that majority, that it means the peo- pie believe in law breaking It means nothing of the kind, as the three mis- trials had will prove by the standing of each jury, that of ten to two for conviction and it being a known fact that among those who held out were men who absolutely violated their oaths as jurymen.
 The exceedingly strong letter of Sheriff Harry C. Wheeler on the pro- hibition law, the efforts of County At torney Ross in securing convictions and the extremely creditable actions Of Judge Lockwood to keep his court and surroundings free from the influ- ence of the criminal element, all make the law-abiding citizens of Co chise county say as one man to those three gentlemen: May success be with you in your efforts tQ upheld the law and remove the stigma on Dear Old Cochise that the criminal ele- ment has tried to fasten upon her.
 Tn the meantime if the voters do not like the present law they will have Q chance to try something else this fall, but they should look before they leap and see that they don't jump from the frying pan into the fire"

COUNTY ATTORNEY IS
 COMMENDED FOR WORK AGAINST B0OTLEGGERS
Sentiment of Many People in Cochise County Apparently Against the Work of Boot leggers.

TOMBSTONE, Aug. 11.-(SpeciaD That the sentiment of the majority of the people of Cochise county is against the selling of intoxicating : liquors is very plainly evident from the fact that numerous letters are be- ing received by County attorney Ross from from all sections of the county commanding him for his untiring ef- forts to see that the laws of the state are enforced and for the convictions that he has already secured in the trial of the vendors of intoxicating liquors. The action of the Cochise County Tax Payers Association in en- dorsing his action and the statements made by the Secretary of that organ ization to the Board of Supervisors 1 that it was their desire that the board allow all legal claims in the ex- pense of the prosecutions of the boot leggers and that even it caused the tax rate to be raised on account of the expense occurred it was with their approval, and it was their de- sire to see the law enforced The statement was made at the time the board of supervisors had the question of allowing the expenses of the Thiel Detectives up for consideration. The board allowed the claim as presented.
 The action of Judge Lockwood in rebuking the two jurors for their con duct in the Pettijohn case has been the cause of some comment and it has been stated that he went beyond his authority Such action has been taken before by other judges on the bench in Cochise county. In a trial in the United States court in Tomb stone several years ago two jurors held out for acquittal in a case where the evidence was conclusive and there was not the slightest doubt or the guilt of the accused, the two jurors in question (and they are now still both residents of ChOchlse county) were called up before his honor and
 
 used by Judge Lockwood were dis, charged from the panel and informed that never as long as he was on the bench would they be allowed to serve as trial jurors in his court. On an other occasion the court discharged the entire twelve jurors for a yer dict that had been rendered and gave them a strong lcture and they were excused by the court. The same ac- tion has been taken by other judges Tn the state of Arizona and on a num- Der of occasions while Arizona was yet territory.
 In connection with the above it might not be amiss to reprint the editorial that was printed in the prospector in it's issue of the 10th which is as follows;
 With rumors of all kinds floating around relative to the attempts of certain persons to frustrate justice it is little wonder that Judge Lock1 wood took steps to clear the moral atmosphere of his court, and he is 70 be complimented on his effort of yesterday in the discharge of the two Jurors from the panel Judge Lock wood was fully within his legal rights II the action he took and will be com

A.NoTARLE ACHIEVEMENT

No achievement of tine Wilson administration has brought nearly unanimous congratulations to the president than the negotiation of the treaty with the Kingdom of Denmark, whereby the United States is to come into possession of the Danish West Indies The need acquisition of these islands has been fully appreciated by American statesmen for many decades. It was well understood far back 1902 then caused Secretary oi State Hay to negotiations looking toward the transfer of the sovereignty of the United States.
 At that time the chief consideration in the minds of the officials the American government the sibe relation of the sovereignty of islands the Monroe Doctrine It was fully realized that Denmark had little in possessions and that the siby always existed that she might dispose of them to some European power The American people, well their governmental representatives were well awafe that the purchase of the islands by Germany some other European nation might give rise to perplexing questions United States far the integrity of the Monroe Doctrine was concerned.
 That before the completion of the Panama canal, and the question ownership of the islands immeasureably important than it is today Today all the reasons exist which justified Mr. Roosevelt in seeking to purchase Danish West Indies there has added the consideration of their strategic importance affecting the safety of the Pan canal It is interesting to note that Republican leaders of the first calibre Washington have been fully outspoken the Democrats in approving the presidents plan. The signing of the treaty, which is expected shortly is held back only by the need for clarifying a few of the minor points issue. It will bring close long period of negotiations be- tween the United States and Denmark in which the greatest taken that European nations which might consider themselves interested in the transaction should remain in ignorance of what going Of this of conducting the negotiations fol- lowed the best of diplomacy
