parted this life one year ago, November II,
1920.
Rest on dear father they labor is Ger
Thy willing hands will foil no more,

A truer father, you could not find.
Day by day, the ties are broken

That have eheered us in the past.
Dear hands that did so much for us
When helplessly we lay
God knows they worked continuously
BY his WIFE and CHILDREN.

The Arizona copper camp., 1920-06-12
''BRACK" MORRISON
OUT FOR SHERIFF
ON 6. o. P. TICKET

The Copper Camp has been author
lied to announce this week the candi-
dacy of Michael Braxton Morrison of
Florence for sheriff of Pinal county,
subject to the republican primaries.
1t is hardly necessary tostell our read
ers much about "Brack," who is as
sistant superintendent at the state
prison. He has many friends, any one
of whom VIII testify that he will make
an ideal sheriff Mr. Morrison is all
too brief in what he has to say about
himself in his announcement item,
which reads as follows.
Il am 33 years old and fourteen of
these have been spent in Arizona,
most in Pinai county, as homesteaGer
and rancher always taxpayer. Here
have my home, married and brought
children to make it happier. l was,
practically speaking, reared in a sher-
ifs office, my father having been one
of the pioneer officers of the great
west, and from my earliest days
have had contact with law enforce
ment Today l am assistant superin-
tendent of the state prison, an expert
ence which would prove valuable to
the county in the handling of criminal
affairs.
my platform is mighty short: Fear
less protection fair enforcement Of
all laws; sincere service to the public
without privileges to party or per-
sons"
Right now "Brack' is after republi-
can votes, but in the general election

Jail sentences are prescribed by
District Judge o. l.. Lockett to cure
Johnson county of the gossip mala-
dy."
In his charge to the grand jury at

slander and to deal harshly with indi-
viduals afflicted with the "babbling
lip"
''There are a number of women in
this county whose wagging tongues
are damaging the characters of good
women" he said. "They gossip about
their neighbors without taking the
trouble to find out if they are telling
the truth. Slander Injuries woman
as seriously as the truth This sort
of tale bearing and gossip must stop
if we have to send all the sharp
tongued men and women to the county
Jail, and there are lots of them"
