Bad Taste

It seems bad taste, to say the least, in Ex-President Harrison, to prejudice the Philippine question, while it's in process of adjudication by the supreme court Of the United States. And es- pecially. that he should at this time criticize the administration, when he pretends to be loyal republican.
 It is more surprising that he should entertain the belief that our constitu- tion follows our flag in such a way as to entitle simultaneously the Philip pines to all the rights and privileges of citizens Of the United States; that the inhabitants of new territory acquired by conquest or by cession are at once entitled to the same privileges as those of the states which have conformed to the constitutionally prescribed condi- tions precedent to admission to the union.
 A broad construction should be given to our constitution, according to it's spirit and its intent to adapt itself to conditions and emergencies which arise in the unforeseen and inevitable course of events.
 The framers of our constitution never could have dreamed that such a con struction would be given to it; that territory acquired in Central America or in the islands of the Pacific, inhab- ited by semi-civilized men or by sav- ages, could be fu!l-fledged citizens of the United States as soon as we raised our flag over it; that its inhabitants could rightfully claim the privileges of representation in our national legisla- ture with the rights and powers oI sen ators and representatives to speak and vote, to hold judicial and executive officers the same as citizens of the states, which are legally admitted into our union. Imagine the condition which follows such a construction. If the Chinese empire should be dismembered and a district with a population of thirty or forty million should De ac- quired by the United States and their claim to recognition be allowed as their right, and our legislative halls should be crowded by Chinese, who are nov excluded from our borders, because of the universal belief that their presence would threaten the purity of our civil ization how long would our republic exist? Not many generations would come and go before this national eGl- fee, framed by the wisdom of our Ia thers, and cemented by the blood and life of their descendants, and which We hope will endure for all time, would crumble and be wrapped in the black ness of darkness as former republics have been.

Tt now contains more people than either Wyoming or Montana had when those two territo- ries were admitted to the union, so that there can be no reasonable objection C a 'H sion on the ground that Ariz- ona lacks in population. Tn popula- tion of the territory is now 122,0O0 a gain of 65,000 in ten years. It appears that there is a certain class of repub- licans in the territory who are opposed to statehood. Included in that class are many of the office holders of the territory, who. while ostensibly favor ing statehood. are secretly opposed to it and are working to the latter end.

In the recent election of delegate to
 carried the territory.
 AS The significance of this
 OTHERS vote, it is understood
 SEE IT. lies in the circumstance
 that it is an expression against the movement to secure the ad- mission of Arizona to statehood at an early day. The contestants were Gov. N. O. Murphy, republican and Marcus cast was in the neigihborhood of 20, ,000, which is the largest in the history of the territory. Usually Arizona goes democratic in its election for delegate. The plurality for Smith, democrat. in the election of November is about 1000, which is somewhat smaller than the average democratic lead in the past fifteen years. It is understood, howev- CT, that the attitude of the voters in the recent election was determined largely by their views on the admission question, Smith representing the oppo- nents of admission and the republican candidate favoring admission. The size of the vote shows that the contest aroused a great deal of interest. The Mormon church, it is said, has been secretly and openly opposing the state hood scheme, on the assumption that statehood would in some way be a blow to that faith. Usually a territory wants admission to statehood at the earliest moment that there is a chance ito get it, but if a majority of .Arizona's people really want to stay out of the circle of commonwealths for a little while longer they will probably be ac commodated But Oklahoma and New Mexico, and certainly Oklahoma, will be admitted within a year or twO.-St. Louis Globe Democrat.

In November on the proposition to do
away with Newport as capital and to
establish Providence as the only one.
Another reason which has had consid-
erablc to do with the establishment OF
capitals in early times in country districts
was found I'm the definite boundaries OF
the States. All the original States had
hXed boundaries when admitted. but most
OF the Western and Southwestern States
We're subdivisions OF former Territories
and the capital which was appropriate a.
one time would not serve after different
boundaries were chosen. The Territory OF
Michigan, for instance. included a portion
OF Northwestern Ohio. including the city
of Toledo Ohio was admitted into tho
Union i'm 1902 and the northwestern coun-
ties were not annexed to 1t until 1896;
The change in the State boundaries justi-
fed the selection OF more northerlr
town for the capital. and Columbus was
chosen.
