Don't bother yourselves about a "New

Nobody here wants a new territory except
chronic politicians and occasionally some
one who gets beat in a lawsuit and inter.
sperses his damning of the court by a wish
for a new territory in order to chance get
ting somebody on the bench that can be
bought and sold. Of course it is the ambi.
ton Of every editor to edit his paper at the
