respect and will grow In strength. As soon
as 1t is made the vehicle for party success
against Tammany 1t will shrink into
1t demands that men forget. when they act
and vote as citizens of the great city. that
they are otherwise republicans, democrats
or independents This country needs just
such demonstration Of non-partlsanship
In the management of its great centerS. 1t
has Witnessed the growth Of many and
serious evils from factonal strife in city
government and in the choice OF municipal
administrators. Both of the great parties
have grievously offended in this respect.
Both have at one time or another utilized
the unspeakable elements of a city's lower
life to promote partisan success. Both have
temporfzed with the vicious and the GRIM
inal conditions to avoid trouble and to gain
political ground One consequence has been
to drive the self-respecting citizens in large
measure away from the primaries and even
away from the polls. leaving the parties to
blend national, state and city politics into
one offensive mass. New York has the
opportunity now to show that city govern
ment can be made and kept clean and free
from pollution. 1t needs first of all def
mite organization which shall include the
best men of all parties. intent only upon
securing honest candidates for the munich
pal offices, upon purifying the foul places
and upon maintaining the public conscience
at the high pitch required by the insidous
character of the enemy.

The movement inaugurated by the alumni
of the Business High School of the District
to secure an appropriation for a new build
ing for that institution ought to succeed
The need is apparent. The Commissioners
have recommended a new structure one
specially designed for the purpose, and
there is very general desire in the COM
munity that a more adequate home for
this important feature of the school sys-
TEN be provided than the present rented
building The alumni of the Business High
School now include some of the best known
of the young men of Washington. jhey
have taken their places In the business
ranks in manner to fully Justify the de-
parture from the former educational lines
which has resulted III the development of
this school. Their organized interest will
doubtless go far toward securing the neces-
sary official action, at one point and an
other along the line. 1t will be a distinct
advance for the District when 1t obtains
among other seriously needed additions to
the school accommodations, proper equip
ment for this particular establishment

Just what is to be done in the case of
Turkey is question. 1t is plain that the
United States cannot afford to allow any
government thus to ignore its treaty OBJ
lga atoms, and especially a government
which has already incurred reasonable
American dispieasure by dilly y-da Lying in
the payment of an acknowledged debt
Turkey latest action in'resard TO the exc
quatur of the consul at Harpoot IS decided
ly offensive, under all the circumstances
AS far IS known. the porte does not seek
formally to justify itself in the premises.
There has been q vague suggestion that the
appointee Is personally obnoxious to the
Turkish government. But as far as known
this objection has not been formally pre-
sented Harpoot Is in the very region in
which the outrages occurred which gave
rise to the claims for indemnity. The re-
fusal to permit an American consul to es-
tablish himself on the scene of the late
friction between the government and the
Armenians suggests an intimation that
Turkey does not desire to have the United
States in position to watch the course
of events in that troubled district.
Just what effect the orders to the Ken
lucky may have had upon the temper of
the sultan is conjecturaL. The refusal to
grant an eXequatur came close to the an
nOuncement of the battleship's visit. There
is clear evidence that the government at
Constantinople feels aggrieyed at the
United States, first. for pressing for pay
ment so relentlessly, then for refusing to
permit an indirect payment; next for send
ing consul into Armenia and finally for
sending battieship to Smyrna even upon
an errand of courtesy.

The Territories and Statehood

The governor of Arizona in the course of
mis- annual report makes a strong plea for
he admission Of that territory to state
hood. He cites the fact that both OF the
great politica, parties in their national plat
tocms this year favored the admission of
he remaining territories to the higher dig
aity and he thinks Arizona's turn has come
now. The arguments in favor of his claim
are accommodating in force The recent CEN
sus showed total populatio of 122,212 an
Increase of 62. 592 over $780, or 105 per cent
a greater gain than that shown by any
state. though not as great as that of some
Of the other territories. AS thus populated,
Arizona is larger in point of numbers than
Nevada or Wyoming. and has larger rate
of gain; but has not the population repre-
Sented by the average member of the House
Of Representatives under either the old or
the new apportionment
Arizona has been a territory now since
1853. In 1870 its population. outside of the
tribal Indians was only 9.6lS. In ten years
It had grown to o.440 and in 1890 1t was
'9,62o. Its Jump to 122,2l2 in the past de-
eade is significant of marked changes. Not
only arc the Indians subdued now, thus en-
1ouragins peaceful settlement but irriga-
tion has made fertile millions of acres Of
hitherto Improbable lands and has thus
permitted agriculture and grazing to an
-Xtent not previously anticipated. 1t con-
tains some valuable mineral lands, and al
though large part of the area is arid and
OF forbidding character it is promised by
the boomers Of the territory that within a
Sew decades the entire surface will be hab-
liable. The statehood movement has gained
force in the past five years. The increase
II population by los per cent will assuretlly
give 1t II new impetus, as evidenced by the
governors report.
Arizona's neighbors viii unquestionably
come to the front also with editions for
immediate admission into til. family of
states. Oklahoma. the latest Il the main

lis population increased In this past decade
by Oh per cent. being now 39S 245. This is
more than the population of any of the fol-
owing named states: Delaware, Idaho

the suburban area and has become an In
tolerable nuisance. II the block signal sys-
tem-a most necessary adjunct to railroad
ing-requires that some sign pass from the
engineer to the tower man that all Is un-
derstood, or in inquiry as to the state Of
the tracks, it appears to be necessary that
some modification Of the method be pro-
vided which will reduce the noise to mini
mum. Official care should be taken at all
times to extend the city rules into the sub
urban areas which partake more or less
of city conditions. As the urban area ex-
pands these nuisances which are excluded
from the city portion Of the District ought
to be abated to conform to the changing

wealthy from lips received from men of in

eruption money which was being divided
Imong the higher police officials. 1t is to
MS everlasting credit that he determined
20 cleanse the city in the face Of solemn
warnings that to fight this condition would

The Gun We Should Have,
From the Pittsburs Dispatch.

Announcement is made by the ordnance
bureau that a series of gun tests. will ne
made beg inning March 20. with a view to
selecting a field gun equal to the best ar
tillery in use in Europe. American gun
makers are invited to compete. The date
set IS just beyond the time when the ex-
perimental gun made after the French plans
is to be completed, SO it may be expected
that gun will be in the trials. 1t will he no
surprise If the French gun is found inferior
to several Amer. can types, and certainly
the American manufacturers should be
spurred by the prospect to vindicate the
reputation Of the country for Skill inge-
nu!ty and mechanical superiority The
American field gun now in service Is not
far inferior to the best in Europe but the
American field gun ought to be-as the
American gunner is-the peer of anything
