Arizona. LORIHER LASE ONE OF SCANDAL Tho attempt to quietly apply ooat or whitewash to Senator Larimer. Those seat In tho upper bouso of congress this bought from cor-iupt members of the legislature, has failed. It may bo that Lorlmcr ftilJ bo allowed to retain his scat iu tho Eenate. hut before tho cs honoratins vote Is taken in that body there is likely to bo bonie interesting debate "and needed publicity.

The report of the majority of the fcub-eommittee named to make an examination of the aZleged bribery mmuviinn with the election or Lorminer'by the Illinois legislature, ijxesuses the senator on the ground thatVs his majority was six and only fourmeir who voted for him ilid so for a bribe, there were still enough honest votes cast to have given him the senatorshlp. This "verdict seta forth the general theory that a senator is legally elected unless enough purshased lotes have been discovered to wipe out his majority. This, of course, will make it rather more expensive for commercial gentlemen desiring i-natorial bargains. It will be ncc-FHRary hereafter to purchase not a bare majority, but ten or fifteen Notes in addition to allow tor net tare and i1-! depreciation. If tills ift one the purhaser will be compara- ively safe.

A few legislators may nfess, and return their bribe lfoney, but until. Enough have been poKl or confess to bring his totes below the majority, he car. retain his feat and share In the honors due a member of the upper house of congress. Considering this opinion advanc--u by the senate subcommittee, is 't any wonder that the people of the United States are declining snore and more emphatically these t'ays to look upon the ordinary senator as a person of wonderful or ven adequate Intelligence? Would It not be better to secure statehood under tho present opportunity and afterwards provide for the progressive measures which are balking our constitution in Washington. Once Arizona, is admitted as a state the people will hAVo the power to add anything desirable to their but it is to be hoped that nothing will over he permitted in that document which, will affect the Independence cr superiority of our courts.

NO MEDICAL SLAVERY President Taft deprecates the Bation-wide hostility that sprung Into organization against measures like the Owen trill. In bis tne333ge h- regretted assertions that such proceedings were instituted In the interest of a particular of medicine. Ho declared: "It seems to me that thisf assumption is wholly unwarranted, and those resjnsiblc for the government can be trusted to secure in the personnel of the bureau the appointment of representatives of all recognized schools of medicine), and in the management of the bureau entiro freedom from narrow prejudices in this regard." U.l-appllr. that trust cannot be reposed in the government Tho people have learned by experience that representatives of ail rtcogniied schools of medicine do not receive ia Jb ftio recognition of federal nppolna-racul, nuil that ircn partial freedom frum turrow prejudices la not to to hoped for. They oro opposed to the establishment of a medical trust, arrogating to itaelf autocratic rovers.

They no rnoro want a state setiool of mcdlcino than ihey want btato religion. They demand freedom lu the ono caSo as in the other, and they will have It. Log Angeles ires. PUBLIC SCHOOLS OF ARIZONA. (Douglas International) The coming of nearly four hundred teachers to Douglas this week to at tend the annual meeting of the Ari zona Teachers' association, makes this an occasion for saying something regarding the public schools of the territory.

According to the recent annual report of Governor Sloan there wero 3S.721 school children in cluded, in tho census of the 1903-10 scholastic year, nearly one fifth of the total population. I JiCslScs what are known as the common bchools Arizona has provid ed tho magnificent university of Tuc son, efficient normal schools at both Tempe and Flagstaff and the Indus trial reform school at Benson. For the present year tho student enroll ment at tho university was, 113, 'while at the Tempe normal the enrollment was 402 and at Flagstaff the total was 68. In the territory there are 332 school districts and during the pres ent yoar 25 new buildings were erected; there are 14 high schools districted In the several counties, provided by special law and main tained by a special tax levy. There are 228 grammar schools and 508 prl inary schools.

Most of the schools have a library and In all these libraries are 3 5,33 books. Thero are D5l teachers employed in the public schools of the territory, 142 men and "09 women teachers, with average' salaries of $107.18 for males and for females per) month Tho total school fund coming to tho territorial treasury from every source this jear was with a total expenditure of leaving a balance in the treasury on June 30, 1910. of 007.99. Tho school property of the terri tory, Including lots, buildings and lurniture Is valued at J1.S12.225.87, value of libraries. S27.531.53; value of apartus, Tho public Fchools have brn the special pride of Arizona since the first teacher appeared In the territory.

With tho progress of the territory our schools have kept pace. Every city has Its magnificent buildings and every small settlement having as many a. dozen children of school age has its district school house. There is not a state in the Union which pays higher salaries to Iteachera than does Arizona, and be cause of this liberality the best teachers from every part of tho country are to take positions In our schools. MISTAKEN IDEAS.

There is one mistaken idea concerning the action to be taken on Arizona's constitution after it has been ratified by the people and reaches Washington. It is tho belief by many that congress will have a joint responsibility with President Taft in passing on the merits or demerits of our organic law. Such is not the case. The constitution. after In Arizona, will be sent to the president and he will pass rrJt heferc congress has anythln: to do -with IL If President Taft dis approves it that ends statehood, constitution and the recall so far as the present enabling act is concerned.

If President Taft approves the contsitutlon then he sends It to congress In accordance with the cn- 'abling act which requires that it shall be APPROVED by both the president and congress. If congress approves the constitution or falls to (posed constitution, molding a recall Jn of dlflapprwal the judiciary. the Xlon by th president nohrt WOTlM be fh. provInce of Fiin SJ? to pais it ni statehood Lilt and admit ne a stnto on such parts of Urn proiwd constitution eliminated an mused hi disapproval, hut It Is not likely that anything o( tills kind would occur, though wo believe It would he quite satUfuctory to tho majority of the people of Ari-4 zona. Under such an arrangement Arizona would become a state, though mattenT might be lacking in tho constitution which are earnestly desired.

After we are safely in the new state harness then our people can add to Itheir constitution or to their statu-tory'laws all the progressive meas-Sures desired and neither the presi-' dent nor any ono can then hinder or make us afraid. MOST RADICAL CONSTITUTION. The Chicago Hccord-licrald thus comments on Arizona's proposed constitution: "We have icferred to the significant and advanced features of the proposed constitution of New Mexico, which is regarded as rather moderate on the whole. Now Arizona comes to the front with the completed work of its 'radical' coustitutlonal convention. That work certainly bears the impress of modernism in politics and social thought.

Several of tho dele gates refused to sign the constitution and it may encounter snags In con-grc3 sand at the White House. It has all the innovations that other recent constitutions embody, plus It Is tho most advanced state charter yet constructed in America. Not all of the 'radical' features are doubtful. There is, for example, a thorougoing provision for non-partisan election of the Judiciary an excellent reform. There is a strong antl-lob-bylng clause, an excellent employers liability clause, one establishing a juvenile court and the other for advisory senatorial primary.

What conservatives and moderates object to as revolutionary are these things: The initiative. The recall of all elective officers, including judges. The enactment of the constitution by a bare majority vote upon the in- itiativc of onlyVfiftcen percent, 'of the voters. Wide powers for the commission on corporations and the rigid regulations ostensibly insetted to prevent' stock watering and wildcatting. Much depends on the particular aud details of the Congress I and the president will scrutinize the novel feature and judge them, not by the Intention cf the convention, but by their probable rcsalt3 and ef-' fects.

All that is clear now Is that the Arizona convention deliberately rejected conservative advice and put In the proposed charter the 'strang est' plank3 of the latest insurgent and progressive platforms of Kansas, Wisconsin, Oregon and other states. New 3Iexlco made concessions to in surgency: Arizona met It three-fourths of the way, embraced It eagerly and absorbed literally everything it had to offer. Arizona wishes to overtake Oregon in one stride." Th interesting dispatch cojies from Chicago, that well known Mississippi river port, that the river is lower than at any time in its previous tustorj; so low that there are places where a man may wade across "without getting his neck wet." Albuquerque Journal. If anybody in Albuquerque Is selling geographies that put Chicago on the Mississippi river, take him out and hang him. It takes a fast limited train all day to travel from Chicago to the Mississippi.

Ratification of the present constitution means defeat of statehood in Washington. If the constitution is voted down we will have another chance. With statehood secure then our people can have Just what tvey want In the -vay of initiative, referendum and recall. A strong sentiment has already been expressed throughout the country afAlnst the 'admission of Arizona under the pro- PHILOSOPHICAL ASSOCIATION. N.
