The editor fully appreciates
the trying situation in which
Gov. Hunt finds himself during
the pending contest, but he
made a blunder when he refus-
ed to give peaceful possession
of the Office to Gov. Campbell at
the expiration of his term. By
surrendering the office he would
not have forfeited any of his
rights in the contest, and he
would have made it clear to all
that he had faith the courts
would deal fairly by him and
that he had no selfish interest in
maintaining himself in an Office
until legally declared the right
full possessor.

y. S. Senator Stone, of Mis-
souri,, was very much peeved
when an associated press notice
was garbled in transmission say
ing the total sales of stocks on
December 21st was 1000, 900
shares, and of this amount Unit
ed States Senator Stone alone
contributed STA, 900 shares. >" He
arose to a question of personal
privilege last week, and emphat-
ically denied he had been gam
bling in stocks, and then his at
tention was called to the fact
that the item in question had
been garbled in transmission,
and it should have read u. S.
Steel instead of U. S. Senator
Stone. We suppose telegraph
editors, in common with all other
people, have so closely associat-
ed steel with senators that the
mistake is pardonable, but it is
to be regretted any senator was
mentioned by name.

county has issued a John Doe
indictment against four barrels
of whisky recently picked up by
the sheriff's office with no ap-
parent owner. Should no owner
appear to defend the whisky
will pass under the jurisdiction
of the court and be destroyed.
If this test case sticks the attor-

against all the liquor now in the

1t is announced that politics
will be eliminated in the matter
Of selecting officers for the new
ly created federal farm loan
banks, and that the only consid-
erations taken into account will
be merit, efficiency and ability.
We prefer to withhold comment
until the list of appointments are
complete, and we will be missing
an off-hand guess if very few if
any republicans, were found who
had the ability and efficiency to
fill any of the places.

The Holbrook News has been
awarded the county printing for
the year, it's bid being the lowest
submitted. The old board were
so anxious to favor the News
before their term expired that
they failed to give the Snowflake

against awarding the contract
for that reason, but the protest

Last saturday the PhOenlX he
publican contained an article that
a rumor had been put in circula-
tion that Senator Mark Smith
was fatally i'll at his home in
Washington, and took occasion
to comment that the rumor was
put in circulation probably with
the hope of influencing the su-
preme judges in handing down
their opinion in the unt-Camp-
bell contest. The Republican
had it's Washington representa-
tive also wire q denial of Smiths
illness as proof of it's suspicious.
1t was not a manifestation of
newspaper enterprise to make
such a publication on the eve of
an important court decision, and
places the paper almost within
the pale of contempt. At this
writing the supreme court has
made no decision in the contest
case before it, but whatever the
opinion may be we have faith in
the integrity of the judges that
the decision will he their honest
conviction of the law in the case,
as free from bias as it is possible
for human minds to be. Not
withstanding the fact the three
judges are democrats, and the
contest is strictly partisan is
sue, judges have a stronger in
centive than political ties to urge
them to give righteous decisions,
for their decisions live in the
court reports long after they are
gone and probably forgotten, and
judges take pardonable pride in
rendering opinions that will be
quoted in similar cases through
out the land as able expositions
of the law. Handing down cor
rupt and tainted decisions brings
the judiciary, a anoble and ancient
institution, into disrepute and
none know this so we'll as the
judges themselves. Even honest
errors of judgment on the part
of supreme judges bring odium
on their court, and their deci-
sions have but little weight in
citations in other state courts of
the land. and it is to avoid such
an unsavory reputation that
judges make every effort to
administer the law with fairness
and business, and are not to be
influenced by idle rumors of
temporary expediency. The
highest duty of reputable news
papers is not to give publicity to
rumors that could in any way be
construed a reflection on the
court. or to publish a rumor and
doou +hot IF will offoct tho iud0o
in their veredict, in any case
pending before it. The bulwark
of the peoples liberties is the
highest court in our state, and 1t
is only the socialistic and anar-
chist minds that will decry their
decisions. The supreme court of
Arizona is incorruptible and the
peoples liberties are safe in their
l.

Let it be said to the discredit
of u. s. Senators and Congress-
men, in many cases at least, that
their zeal in fighting to hold
their official position is not pa
triotic duty, neither with many
of them is the meager stipend
the attractive feature, but they
want to hold their positions for
the opportunity afforded for in
side information that enables
them in few years to accumu-
late a fortune specializing in
stocks and bonds. The recent
peace note leak is a case in point,
and if an honest investigation is
held it will probably disclose
numerous senators and congress-
men were gambling on the in
formation and made a clean
ing" We would like to be pa
triotic and believe our law
makers are honest men and
statesmen, actuated all the time
by lofty motives to serve the peo-
pie and nation with no thought
of personal aggrandisement, but
knowing human nature and the
greed of man for pelf, the one
thought always dominating is
dollars predominant over patri-
otism. And every once in a
while we have a disgraceful
episode like the peace leak to
confirm our suspicious.

may have one good result at
least, however the case is finally
decided. 1t has brought out
distinctly that the state of Ari-
zona has got the rottenest elec-
tion law over framed in this
country, and the present legisla-
ture will probably repeal it and
pass a law that will bear some
ear-marks of sanity. The short
est cut for the greatest benefit
will be to repeal the primary law,
and let political parties manage
their own affairs without legisla-
tive interference.
