JOHN w. RAY FOR SUPERIOR
JUDGE

In asking the Democratic voters OF
,MaTicopa County for their votes in
the coming primary election, Septem
Der 9Th. for the ONCE of Judge of the
Superior Court, Division 2, | feel con
strained to give some reasons why
should be selected to succeed Judge
Lyman and Judge Struckmeyer. Hav
Ing been born in 1863, / have reached
full maturity and being in sound
health and always so, can attend to
the greatest strain the work requires
yet have mature judgment backed by
long experience at the bar.
l began in early life, aged eleven,
IN the clerks Office. After an ap
premiership of IL years, | served as
Clerk of the Carlisle Circuit Court at
Bardwell, Kentucky, in 1885 tor a few
months after the county was made
till an election. / was admitted to
practice in 1885 and practiced reg.
ularly till 1895, when / went to law
school at Cornell University. Follow.
ing that was law clerk of one of the
Judges of the Court of Appeals of
Kentucky for years.
| studied the cases, read the record
and briefs, and wrote, in my own
language, the opinion of the Court
after 1t had been decided by the
Judges. In this way wrote more
than twelve hundred opinions, all of
which can be found in the South
western Reporter system, in the
County or State library and in many
lawyers private library in the county.
My employer was James D. White,
Judge of the Court of Appeals. Dur
ing the same period of time I was
engaged in the practice of law and
had a varied experience. For exam
pie, Purnell VS.. Mann, so Southwest

mtttee In contest over an election

State in its claim of exclusive juris-
by the Attorney General Of
Indiana; Moody vs.. Trimble, SO South
western Reporter. where I maintained
the regularity of the nomination of
Mr.. Trimble for Congress by the Dem

These cases were Is years ago and
were not small local cases. / have
had many others, e. g.: taxing the
express companies, taxing the rail-
roads, taxing whiskey in bond, try
ing to tax life insurance and casualty
companies. But possibly the case
that attracted the greatest interest
was Young vs.. Beckham, 72 South

the two questions were presented as
to the eligibility of Gov. Beckham to
succeed himself, and the power of the

desire to become acquainted with the
thoughts of the great men whose
names they had in one way or an
other heard of, was utterly ridiculous.
The toIlers needed only strong
muscles and stout backbones. They
had no use for mental culture, for so
cial aspirations, or for the knowledge
that gives one power and self-respect
and the ambition to rise In the world.
Labor was a degraded thing. Only
the gentleman was respectRble-and
the gentleman was the man who did
not have to work.
Such was the absurd and degrading
idea that prevailed pretty nearly
everywhere from the days OF Aristotle
to those of Danton, Mirabeau and
Patrick Henry.
And to add to the badness OF the
situation. the masses Of the people
were largely Of the same way Of think
ing with the gentlemen"
In the majority Of instances they
were satisfied with their sorrowful
lot; feeling that they were getting all
that they deserved. They were stirred
by no ambition beyond that Of the
coarse material compensatiOns Of their
daily toll.

An airplane propeller and engine
drive the hydroglider, says Popular
Science Monthly. Thus the enormous
friction exerted by the water upon
high-speed propeller blades is avoided
and the navigation Of the glider IN
shallow water is made possible. Even
the main rudder operates by detecting
air instead Of water. There are two
small auxiliary rvdders. which are
used for maneuvering the boat into

these are lifted from the water as

are dissatisfied with what they would
call the slow progress Of things to
stop and reflect upon what has been
accomplished.
It was on May 4, 1880, that Rev.
Henry Solly Of Lancaster, England, Or
ganiEed the "Workingmen's Mutual
Improvement and Recreation society,""
the first of the numerous institutions
for the mental and social uplift Of the
toiling masses.
1t is a dismal fact, but still a fact
not to be wiped out. that from the
dawn of history right down to the
middle Of the Nineteenth century the
lot Of the workingman was. in all
lands, a most pathetic one, says Rev.
Thomas b. Gregory, In an article on
'Labor's Progress"
Dear old Herodotus makes a true
picture for us Of the slaves who built
the Pyramids by the Nile, and also Of
the heartless 'taskmasters" standing
over them. He shows us the fearful
struggling and straining, the acute pri-
vatfon and deep degradation of the
toilers, the whole combination making
a picture which, once seen, can never
be forgotten.
And it must be remembered that the
spirit of the Egyptian taslSmaster
practically held its own nearly all over
the world snug down to the time OF
the French revolution.
The masses Of the people In France
when the Bastile fell were quite as for
lOrn and degraded as the people Of
Egypt were when Old Rameses relgned
at Memphis.
The workingman was simply a no
body. II he was permitted to toll
and by the sweat Of his brow to OBJ
tain a fairly decent animal existence,
a plenty Of coarse food and a pile Of
straw to sleep on at night, he had no
right to complain. no reason to be
looking for anything better.

the work Of the world might Justly

and socially; might have the wish to
hear music and to look upon beautiful

a legitimate American institution and
that the American public has given
its full approval of the idea.
"organiEed labor stands in favor Of
peace in industry" he continued. ia
Dor desires that peace which comes
with honor and through the applica-
ton Of the principles Of fairness and
justice. Labor win do Its part to e.
tablish and maintain that kind Of
peace.

TRADE UNIONS were legal

such organisatiOns or cOmbi-
nations Of wage earners for the
purpose of maintaining or inn

tinuously from the latter part

mentioned as existing in 100
