If the matter were ly laid before him, it is proliable that he would lend his iniluence to urge such a modification of the congressional statehood as would enable Arizona to vote oil the from New Mexico. That is the least that is due Arizona, in fairness. ilranting for purj)oses of argument that the territories, or either of them, nre not ready for statehood, surely it cannot be regarded as a fair to force upon them, or either of them, a change they do not want.

New would probably endorse joint statehood today, rather than remain as a territory. Arizona prefers remain as she is rather than be linked up with New Arizona is wise, and it is to be hoped, for the sake of both territories, the whole southwest, and the country at large, that she will have an opportunity to vote separately upon the proposed jointure. Every practical reason exists why the jointure should not be effected. the natural course of things, after the splendid campaigns of the last few years in the interest of the territories, separate statehood must come a comparatively short time. Conditions will never again be less favorable than now, and the probabilities are that the territories will gain by any delay, should such ensue.

It would be better for the country if the west had an even larger representation in congress than it has now. Eastern Republicans oppose the admission of Arizona separately because the possibility that the new' state would be Democratic. Eastern men generally oj)pose the admission of more than two new out of the four territories, on the ground that the should not have so much larger representation per head of the population, than the east has. Arizona and could probably confer a greater honor on the United States senate with their representatives than Xew York, Pennsylvania, and other states have sometimes done. But in any event, it is narrow Americanism for the east to oppose the development of the that is what it means to deny the west a representation somewhat proportioned to her area and resources.

If the west had, during the last 50 been restricted to a representation based solely on population, or on and wealth, the west would today be the hunting of wild Indians, and the uncoveted abode of wild beasts and wild vegetation. The devel- i)pinent of the west lias been carried on in spite of narrowness and ignorance in the east. have been a few farsighted men, pioneers as truly as the men Avho made the mountain even though ihese eastern pioneers never traveled west of the Alleghanies. They saw far, and they acted wisely, so that, by sustaining trail blazers of the west, they became parties to their con- and share today their glory. But the majority have been too often unable to see truly, and slow to act wisely, in matters affecting the development of the west.

Senators and congressmen from Arizona and Xew would represent, iirst of all, the west. They would stand for development, and thereby they w'ould devote a large part of their energy to building up great markets for eastern products, great of consumers of finished products, which the people of the west must secure in exchange for the raw materials they send to market. The special interest these politics and Americanism. ------------o------------MAJOR CONTEST WITH THE WEATHER MAN Major Fi'wel had his ukmi at vestenlav on the downtown crossiiiifs. He a big job, and the streets be in fearful shape for ten days or more.

But by making the effort the major shows that he is alive to the public need, and the good wishes of the are him in his discouraging contest with the man. The city money the major spends in trying to make the crossing passable, and keep them passable, will be spent. The merchants are losing money heavily as a result of the bad weather, and the loss if the streets Avere to be neglected would far exceed the cost of attending to them. The people want good public service, and are willing to pay the cost, for they can see the results. ------------France and (iermany will never feel perfectly satisfied until they have tried it to see Avhether the of 1870 would be duplicated in a war today.

Any man who deliberately settles in such a harum-scarum republic must expect to be skinned and grafted, and his only hope is to skin and graft a little more than the natives do, so as to make a on the net transactiiui.

be THE VALUE OF ADVERTISING. -o- STANDARD OIL PIERCE RUNS AWAY TO SEA One thing is sure: Henry H. Rogers is no common gossip. ith locked jaws and hardened conscience, this man defies the attorney general of and all the of popular to make him talk about Standard Oil. Most of the crimes and wounded feelings of this world come from somebody talking too much.

Henry H. Rogers values liis too highly to waste them on a miserable little attorney general even in expressing an opinion of the indelicate curiosity of the counsel. dudging from Rogers's extreme reticence, the susjiicion arises that he never talked so freelv to as From Wall Street Summary. It is recorded by the New' York association for Improving the Condition Poor that an expenditure of $G76 last year, in advertising in newspapers and magazines, netted a direct pin of $2400! This marks the passing of personal solicitation for charity. The recent political campaigns conclusively establish the powerful advantages of newspaper advertising over the efforts of the spellbinder and stump orator.

The prosperity of this country could never have attained its present level had it not been for the agency of the press.
