Yet Busy on the Canadian Recip

brought out by the special committee
of investigation, appointed by the Illi

Senate further -reasons why the Sen

right to retain his, seat. In his speech
yesterday LaFollette for several hours
recounted the testimony taken in for
mer investigations into the Lorimer
matter by the Senate. The joint reso

the Union of Arizona and New Mexi

bate on the statehood measure was
given over, to speeches denounofcag
the judiciary recall feature of the Ari

an innovation, but aourceotdang;

speech: "It will strike from the splen
did 'structure of free Government the
arch upon which it has come to rest
with unshaken confidence," Littleton
declared in an attack upon the recall
of judges feature of the Arizona con
stitution. "The' seasoned and staid
traditions of impeachment are to be
translated into trial by, tumult. The
orderly process of regulated justice
are to be converted Into a sporadic
assault, born of hate and disappoint
ment. Dignified ministers of estab
lished law, ennobled by grandeur of
their lofty stations and disciplined by
pressure of sober responsibility are
to be degraded by impending threat
and distracted by uncertainty of pre
carious tenure. Misguided or malig
nant passions of an unimportant frag
ment of a community may recklessly
accuse the most stainless judge and,
by groundless charge, put suspicion
in place of confidence, distrust in! place
of faith." The lying litigant, baffled
in' an attempt to subsidize the court,
the, culpable' confederate of convicted
criminal corporate bandit, finally con
demned by the firm hand of an incor

Nine years ago next Npvember the .

in any true appreciation of the

In 1820 the city contained 123,706 ' 1
Inhabitants and about 20,000 houses.
There was nc strictly residential quar- (

was a drawback. 'Before the rich mer

about the square lit -was necessary to
find a new potters field, for the friend-: -less
