The prospects for statehood are bright. No better evidence of this
 fact could be fur BRIGHT nished than the OUTLOOK friendly tone of FOR STATEHOOD. the great news
 papers throughout the country. Heretofore the efforts for admission have had to contend with strong tide of disapproval from almost every exponent of public opin- ion in the east. Now, all that is changed. Less than a half-dozen newspapers of importance have taken positive grounds against the admis- sion of the three territories. There is notably a more intelligent understand ing of the grounds upon which state hood is demanded, and the question is discussed temperately and fairly.
 For this change in the sentiments of the east, we think Arizona should take large credit. The many publications issued by the Phoenix board of trade, the widely circulated territorial re- ports, and the newspapers of the pro gressive class. all have done good work in making Arizona better known.
 The following from an editorial in the Philadelphia Public Ledger is typical of the manner in which the leading newspapers are discussing the sub ject:
 With the approach of the date for-the converting of congress there is q re vival of the proposition for the admis sion to statehood of Arizona. New Mexico and Oklahoma. The United States census of 1900 gives New Mex ico d population of 1853 Arizona, 122,931, and Oklahoma. 39S.S31. The suggestion has been made that the whole or part of Indian territory should be added to Oklahoma when statehood is granted the latter. The census credits Indian territory with q population of 392,O6O. Of the present states, Vermont, Delaware. North Da- kota. Montana, Wyoming. Utah, Ne vada and Idaho have less population than Oklahoma, while Delaware, Wy oming, Nevada and Idaho less than New Mexico, and Wyoming and Ne vada have less than Arizona. With respect to area New Mexico has 122,- $50 square miles, which is greater than the area of any of the forty-five states excepting California, Montana and Texas. Arizona has 113.G20 square miles, being exceeded only by the three states mentioned. Oklahona's area is 39,030 square miles, in which she is exceeded by thirty-three states The area of Indian territory is 3l 400 square miles.
 Experience has shown, however that congress, in admitting territories to statehood. is more likely to be con- cerned with the politics of the pro- posed states than with their qualifi- cations as respects population and area. New Mexico, in 1900. elected a repub- lican as territorial delegate to con gress; in 1878. 1880 and 1884, the terri tory was carried by the republicans: in 1SSS, 1892 and 1896 by the democrats. and in 1898 and 1900 by the republicans. and by an increasing plurality. Ari- zona, in 1900. elected a democratic del cgate; since 1878 the territory has been carried biennially by the democrats except in 1884 and 1894, when the re- publicans were successful. In Okla homa. in 1900. the republican delegate was elected, and the territorial legis- lature is composed of twenty-one re- publicans and eighteen fusionists. The

Indian territory has no delegate to congress. It is presumable, under eX- isting conditions, that were Arizona, New Mexico and Oklahoma admitted to statehood the democrats would se- cure the two United States senators in the first named, while the republi- cans would succeed in the two latter. There is no certainty about this. how ever.
 In equipment for statehood each of these territories is more than well pro vided. They have good, or fairly good. school systems; they have consider able towns: railroad facilities. banks, etc. The youngest of them all, Okla homa, is the best prepared for state hood. The population of Oklahoma is SO00O more than that of New Mexico and Arizona combined. It is a ho- mogeneous population, too, living in well-built towns. Oklahoma's poppla- ton is made up of vigorous western people who brought with them an ar dent belief in the school and the saw inss bank. They are thrifty and en- ergetic. They have built up towns and cities" The latter term is elastic in the southwest. but there are cities in Oklahoma of ten thousand inhabi- tants. which population is nearer ur- ban dignity than that of some com munities of that section that have more prestige. Oklahoma lest year. had 114.736 children on it's school rolls. of whom the average attendance was S5.635. There were 295 students in the university, exclusive of the agricul- tural and mechanical college, which had S66. There are two normal schools. one of which had at the date of the latest report 35S students. There are more than nine hundred church or ganiza tions in the territory. Such territory" is certainly a state in all the essentials of civic qualification.

The sentiment respecting the Chi zese exclusion act is that it ought to be re-enacted. If the matter should be left to a vote of the people the doors would not be open to the Mongolian hordes now waiting to swarm into this country. If the exclusion act is re- enacted 1t should be extended so as to include other ignorant and far more undesirable foreigners than the Chi nese. The Chinamen never engage in riots and nobody ever heard of Q Chi nese anarchist attempting to put his practices into effect in this country. There are worse foreigners than the Chinese. The danger with them is in numbers

A writer In the Washington Post calls attention to a colony of Tagals from the island of Luzon planted by the Spaniards in southern Louisiana about 17Si. These colonists have in- creased in numbers until they form about half the population of two par ishes, Plaquemine and St. Bernard. They were brought to America to in troduce rice culture in Louisiana and successfully accomplished that pur- pose. They live in houses built on plies, raise rice and vote the demo- cratic ticket But few can speak Eng fish, while all speak Spanish or Tagal. They have remained an unmixed race. ignorant and secluded, but peaceful and inoffensive. So far as known these Tagals have taken no interest in their countrymen in Luzon.

The west unanimously approves the suggestion that the government shoul
 abandon the system of THE NEW maintaining thousands INDIAN of able bodied Indians in POLICY. idieness. It may be a
 long time. perhaps be- foIe the east accepts the theory that the Indians can and should be made self-suppOrting. but common sense wifi prevail finally. and a long step in the right direction has been gained in hay ing the support of the Indian bureau for the proposition
 Says the Denver Republican.
 The government will doubtless go slow in accepting recommendations of Commissioner Jones for a revision or the Indian policy. but there are no doubt some sensible features in the h. dian commissioners annual report. which. in time, can be acted on with benefit to all concerned.
 Mir Jones declares that the present tribal system can only be done away with by assisting the Indian in the work Of making a home. Most of the tribes are now on reservations that are unimproved and that vii require 2 large expenditure of money and labor to make productive to the highest de- gree. The indiscriminate issue of ra- tions. the periodical distribution of large sums of money. and the encour- agement of the leasing of allotments have resulted in keeping the Indian in idleness, and something should be done toward making the wards of the gov ernment self-supporting. This can only be done by cutting off rations. and turning triba! funds to the construc- tion of irrigation systems, the erection of buildings, and the purchase of ail material aids necessary to the agri- culturist.
 This advice is in line with a recom- mendation recently advanced by Gov Murphy of Arizona, to the effect that the Indians of the southwest be assist ed in building irrigation systems and otherwise improving their reservations The changes suggested by Commission CT Jones mean an almost entire re- vision of the Indian system, and will involve many delicate questions. They are not to be made all at once, but they deserve the fullest investigation. It is evident that under present con ditions the Indian is making little pro Sress, and the west is especially inter- ested in remedying reservation affairs.

GOOD WORK

Ever heard of the man who sold his horse because 1t was growing thin? After awhile he saw a fine looking horse he wanted to buy. It was his own old horse grown fat. The new owner had found the right medicine.
 Scott's Emulsion does that kind of work with sickly chil- dren. Sometimes 1t changes a child's whole nature so much one would scarcely know the child. Scott's Emulsion starts the small ones to growing like weeds. The scrawny ones get hearty and fat. Color begins to show in the pale face.
 Scott's Emulsion does this good work without hurting the little stomachs. No extra bur- den. All help.
