Occasionally We hear a man say that he does not think statehood would be of
 any benefit to Ar.zcna.
 WHAT If there is any consid-
 STATE erable number of people
 HOOD here who accept that
 MEANS. view, We beg of them to
 study the natter. If statehood is not desirable how does it happen that we have 45 states in the union? Surely the states erected since the Louisiana purchase would not have been admitted if their people had not worked to that end. There are certain essentials to sta .ehood which the peo- pie desiring admission alone can pro- vide. No state has been forced into 'uhe union except by the sentiment of it's inhabitants.
 As a matter of fact statehood has been the aim of every territory on the American continent. As the tide of population rolled westward the statehood idea was kerit uppermozt. A few years of frontier life served to show the pioneers from the older comonwealths that statehood would banish many evils and give rise to countless opportunities. There is no doubt that great majority of the peo- pie of Ariz zSn5L have this feeling, and 1t should net diminish for q momont through the utterances of men who lack the enterprise or patriotism nee essary to work for the obrteration of thc territorial form of government.
 We have the examples of Montana, Wyoming, Idaho. and the other west ern states recently admitted, to spur us to earnest action. Every one of these states has increased its population and wealth in great measure since the day of its admission. The two Dakotas, Montana and Idaho are shining exam ples of what statehood will do. ThOus- ands of people settled in these states during the first years after their en- trance into the union, and every branch of industry received wonderful inn petus.
 It is significant or the value Of stale hood that the aid thus far rendered by the government in connection with ir- rigation enterprises has been in the arid states rather than in the arid ter Iftories. The rtlspu is plain. The arid atate- have had enterprising rep reeentstives in ghe congress and their influenc. has b=en powerful Sens tors end representatives from ths arid belt

can form combipa lions which the 6 ast-
 ern members of congress cannot over look, particularly at times when votes
 are being sought for some particular measure That such combinations are
 made every week in congress is an
 open secret. You tickle me and ri
 tickle you" has much to do with cor-
 gressional life. If Arizona had two ssri-
 ators and a representative at Washing
 ton it would cut decided figure fr na- | tiOnal councils, and the benefits aris- ing thersfrom would soon be apparent.
 Another point in connection with statehood which should not be over looked is that the advertising which the territory would receive during the proceedings preliminary to admission would do more for us than any board of trade in the territory has been able to achieve. The whole country would learn all about Arizona its climate, it's reHOurces, it's general advantages as a home for enterprising people. This advertising woulG be worth millions of dollars to us. With statehood would come the most stable form of govern ment, "hCme rule" and a feeling of in- dependence now abssnt. When one be- gins to enumera,e the advantages at taching to statehood he will find the task a limitless one.
 That we are entitled to statehood goes without question. That We stand the best possible chance of acquiring statehood through the election of a republican delegate to congress must be evident to every unprejudiced ob s-rver. The national administration is in the hands of republicans, and it will continue to be administered by repub- licans for four years at least. The re- publican candidate for delegate, N. O. Murphy, has had a wide experience in Washington, is popular there and has the pledges of many influential men to aid in securing statehood in the event that Arizona goes republican. If MT. Murphy is elected statehood will be assured.
 Vote for Murphy and statehood!

DEMAGoGUE ON MORTGAGES
What Would Be the Result of BPyan's
 Teachings?

"The man who drove black slav
 years ago is not half 90 merciless as
 thc man who driv S white slaves today
 with his mortgages" The above i, from the speech of William Jennings ! Bryan at Albany, ol Wednesday, thl { 17tl of October.
 ! A very large numb of mortgages are given in part paymcn, for purchase money of the estate, upon which thy are made an incumbrance. Is the man a slave who buys prop-rty partly On credit? Does MT Bryan wish us to | believe that thes5 men are slaves?
 Many who give mortgages borrow the money from savings banks and from insurance compani-s. These several sorts of corporations are holding the
 mcnsy which they lend, as trussc es. In the case of the savings banks, the money is held in trust for the millions
 of frugal, thrifty peopl= who wish to
 provide for rainy day" Meanwhile the savings banks must lend the money in such d mann4r that the interest will be forthcoming when due, and the pr.n- cipl also when wanted. Are the of fice-s of these institutions merciless? .? They have a duty to perform to their deposltOrs. This duty cannot be per formed by letting borrowers go as you pleas pay or not pay, according to the convenience Q" CIpI'icc of each mortgagor. MT. Bryan would cause the wreck of every savings bank in the land. What would then bccom. of the money cf the millions of savings bank depUsitOrs?
 The life inSurIuCc COmpaniCs receive money from the millions of policyhald- CTS that are toiling to privide means of subsistence for those they car for whenever death comes to !their bread winner. Meanwhile the accumulated moneys must be invested and made to earn interest, and the principal, also, must be made secure The faVorite mode Of investing such sums is by lending. upon mortgage. The money thus lent by savings banks and insur- ance companies comprises by far the greater part of the money lent upon mortgags. Are the borrowers slaves? Are the lenders bloodsuckers?
 Some of the states have large amounts of capital called ''schJol funds" In almost every casc these funds are lent upon mortgage to E-T- rowers, who undertake to pay the in terest at specified periods. This inter est money is distribu d among the school districts, periodically. for tac payment If the tea, hers. wfp con!uct the common schools wherein tn" clril- dren If the public get their education. In the state of Cnnnectlut alone this fund amountS to millions, and the as gregate, in all the states, is large

CHE Peril of EIecfricnY.

This has been called the electric age.
The praises Of the mysterious fluid
which now does so much work for
nan have been sounded by orators
and poets. Civilization, 1t is declared,
has been advanced a hundred years by
Harvesting the forces of the lightning.
Now come calmer minded men to point
the other side of the picture. For IL
electricity has done much to relieve
man of labor and to make life easier,
it is also responsible for much destruc-
ton both of life and property. Every
new electric invention adds one more
danger to the many which now beset
the residents in crowded cities, where
such inventions are chiefly used. Sta
tistics on the subject, recently gath
cred. are fairly startling.
