cRITIciZING CONGRESS.

It is now authoritavey settled that American has
 perfect right to criticize congress his hearts con tent.
 From the number of Americans who have. lately been engaged in this expressing pastme it might be doubted whether the right had been called in question AS
 matter of fact congress has always imagined that ' had the power to punish contempt person whose criticism got under its legislative hide The house CT representatives undertook last year to apply the sup posed right of United States District Attorney Marshall of New City, because of trucuen remarks he had made before committee in criticism of the proGerman activities of certain congressman
 The supreme court happily decided that there is no such crime in the American category congress ional esemaestc: Congress has power. express or implied. to punish critical comment that falls snort of physical destruction of the right of the house to carry on it's proceedings That is to say, may jump onto congress as vigorously like, long as we stop short of leading delegation of irate citizens into the legislative chamber throwing out the congressman and smashing the furniture
 To permit congress any other governmental body to punish for contempt persons merely guilty of verbal criticism would Chief Justice White strike knife at the very roots of whole system of representative government"
 Representative lives by criticism of its servants and thrves on it. whenever any congress man or group of congressman give of oense, out with the hammers! neglecting. of course, to gv just vocferous expressions of approval when they de serve applause.

circumstances and the necessity of the hall.
 Well, might have given up the pro ject then and there, but not being used to defeat I walked bravely into the city of Douglas one morning ana walked out that evening with nearly S400.00 and all kinds of games, writ ing material, and a $17000 Victrola. But my cash was not yet sufficient for the hall, so I made trip to Bis bee, where I raised s4O.OO in forty minutes and with a big donation fl1m the Cochise Lumber Go. of Warren l was able to build my hall and dedicate it to the men.
 Through the efforts of MT. Selzer of Phoenix. several hundred books were collected from the citizens and sent to us. We also received some masa- zines from Tucson, some Victrola rec ords from Morenci, and smoking to- bacco from the Red Cross at Phoenix. But nine months service has practl- cally exhausted our equipment and now that We will soon have 2,000 men in the regiment, we will need to en- large our hall and put in a moving picture machine and other things ih order to furnish the men amusement and keep them in camp when they are off duty. We have organized a school of instruction on military subjects and three evenings each week are devoted to lectures by officers who have spe- cialized in their line, also medical Of feers who lecture on the body ana its care. The other three nights of F,he week are taken up with lectures on various subjects, amateur plays, smokers, and on Sunday night we have the young mems Christian Endeayor' followed by a sermon or lecture.
 Now. what l want is liberal con tribution from the people of Arizona in order that I might be able to pro vide things necessary for the enter tainment and edification of our boys.

"JUSTIFIABIE HoMocIDE."

Though there hrdy a in the entire state of Arizona who approves of lynch law and its at tendant evils the proportion of people who dsappoves of the fate Vane Ashmore, alias Starr Daley Phoenix early Sunday morniny, is smaller still murderer and debaucher of the worst type, paid pen atty deserved in His end undoubtedly, ust fable homocde"
 There are many people the who conscient ously against the inicon of death penalty There is much argument both sides of the question and in the last election those opposed the old Arizona statute had their will approved Hanging abolished in Arizona.
 We have seen of the first results.
 vane Ashmore alias Starr Daley. entered the camp of tourist on the Phoenix Roosevelt Road and fouy murdered the man. He then debauched the wife of the dead Upon being arrested he made the assertion that would hang in Arizona. Unfortunately for the sake of the right that it should be upheld and fortunately sake of humanity and awabding people, the state purged of ulcer. And few are sorry
 Sundays lynching the first in thirty years in Ari zona During that thirty capital punishment was upon books of the territory and state Men who murdered without of reason, always saw, in the distance the vague shadow of the scafold. As deterant for capital oenses its effect wonderful That removed and the trial and execution of sentence the first atrocous crime taken from its proper channel court and put into the hands of a mob.
 It is extremely regrettabe murder should be com mitted regrettable that Arizona should be the scene of revolting the perpetrated near Phoenix Murder like other crime is impossible oi complete eradication In view of these things it would seem wise to hand of the law in its prevention
 It may unseemly to forecast further blots upon the fair name the of Arizona but it is safe to con lecture when the proper and mered punishment not meted out by society's chief guardan-the law then the law into the hands of men It is an unfortunate commentary the makeup of human nature
 particular instance the verdict of most people appears to be that the coroners jury right and proper; that it was case of "jusfable homocde"

A FREE IRELAND.

British unionsts answer American suggestions about home rule in Ireland with talk about nterference The, regret that the United States shows tendency to in terfere with British domestic problems They indicate that interest in Irish freedom is improper and em barrassing to the British government.
 The Irish problem is, of course, domestic problem of the British empire It also is of the problems o the United States Because the British have not settled the Irish problem in Ireland influential body of oul citizens going oppress full cooperation with Britain in the defeat of Germany Delay in finding to give Ireland home rule likely also be delay in defeating the common enemy.

 But it would make infinitely easier to defeat Ger many if Ireland freed satisfied Ireland will be worth lot to the United States in We think also it will be worth more to the British empire in war We have assumed part of Englands burden in fighting Germany The burden of dissatisfied Ireland seems an unnecessary addition the load We believe that we have the right to suggest that it be removed
 For Americans believe the Irish problem be solved Those who know anything about Ireland know that it cannot solved easily but they still believe that it can he solved They know that talk about lancing ulcer means really lancing Ulster.
