FRIENDLY WORDS.

"Arizona is making timely pre-
parations for an effort to secure
statehood during the next session
Of congress-" says the Los Angeles
Herald. The political parties of
the territory, and all classes Of
citizens,appear to be unanimous in
favor Of making a determined
struggle for that purpose. The
showing made in last years census
of the population and products of
the territory, should have strong
influence in favor of admission to
the family of states. In 1890 the
population of Arizona was 56,620,
Last year it was l22,93l, having
more than doubled in the last ten
years.
"The splendid showing made by
Arizona IN the laSt decade is IN
striking contrast to that of the
neighboring state of Nevada. The
population Of Nevada was IS, ,761
in 1890. In the ten years ending
1900 1t advanced backwards
3,426, showing only 1896 in last
years census. Arizona's popula-
ton also exceeds that of Wyoming
by the substantial majority of 3d.
600. 1t is close on the heels of
Idaho, and not far behind Della
ware. At the present rate of
growth it will soon outstrip two
or three other states beside the two
it has already passed"
Graham guardian., 1901-11-01

SEVERAL months ago the GUARD
IAS began advocating the plan o.
building a railroad from the Gila
valley to Clifton and gave the
reasons for its belief that the build
ing of such road would be feas
ible proposition as well as a pay,
ing investment. Since then a
number of other papers have be-
come interested and freely discuss
ed the matter, as well as some of
our leading citizens. Through
these efforts the attention of capi-
talists have been attracted to the
matter and we learn from the
Copper Era that President Garland
has personally inspected the
route between here and Clifton and
pronounced it a feasible one and
also announced his intention of
building the road.

PENDING ELECTIONS.

Elections will occur in several
states this fall. Interesting to the
general public will be the muni-
cipal elections in New York and
Philadelphia. National import
snce will attach to the Kentucky,
Ohio, Maryland and Iowa elec-
tions as these will involve the Un-
tied States sentorships. Governors
will be chosen in New Jersey,
Iowa, Virginia and Ohio.
The fight in New York City and
in Philadelphia is proceeding
along much the same lines. In
both cities the campaign is swaged
against alleged municipal corrup-
ton, and Democrats and Republi-
cans are joining hands in an at
tempt to down the city rings.
The outcome is in doubt in these
two cities, and the progress of the
campaign will be followed with
more than usual interest.
In Ohio, in addition to the state
ticket, the Legislature will be
chosen, and if Republican, prob
ably will re-elect Senator Foraker.
Kentucky's campaign will choose
legislature that will name Un-
tied States senator. The legisla-
ture will also re-district the state.
The fight in Kentucky is a straight |
contest between Democrats and
Republicans.
In Iowa, besides the governor
and state off GERS, legislature will
bo elected which, if Republican,
will return Senator Dolliver to the
senate. He is now filling the va
cancy occasioned by the death of
Senator Gear, upon the governors
appointment. !

THAT DINNER INCIDENT.

| SINCE the accession OF theodore
Roosevelt to the presidency Of the
United States the citizens Of the
country have been watching with
anxious eye the new chief magis-
trate upon whose shoulders such
heavy burdens are imposed and
who will have to decide so many
important questions Of foreign and
domestic policy.
The press of the country has de.
voted much space to the considera-
ton Of the qualities Of the char
acter Of the new president and en-
deavored to solve the problem of
his future course by arriving at an
understanding Of the man behind
the policy. There is as yet no
official act by which the new in
cumbent could be judged. All
representations were simply bas-
ed upon what could be predicted
from the nature of the man Of ac-
ton who has as yet not had time
to act.
But now the president has acted.
We have something sure and de-
finite to go upon. He has enter
tanned on terms of social equality,
says the Houston Post, negro at
the White House. Parturiunt
montes, nascitur ridiculus mus
the mountains were in labor and
brought forth a ridiculous mouse.
The Post would not be under
stood as saying word against
Booker r. Washington, who is .
great negro educator, and for
whom the Post cntertains the high
est respect. His work speaks for
him and entities him to the graft
/ tude of his own race and Of Tie
white men of the South also,
among whom his own race dwells.
If President Roosevelt must dine
with a negro, he could not have
picked out better negro to have
to dinner.
The charge that must be pre-
ferred against the president is that
without reason he has violated a
custom Of the country, the exist
ence Of which is founded on the
highest necessity. North, South,
East and West it is recognized
that negro social equality would
mean the destruction of white
civilization. The social line of
separation must be sharply and
absolutely drawn, if it is to be
drawn at all. Even among white
men the dinner guest is recognized
as the social equal in every parti
cular. If man is admitted into
the home as a dinner guest it can
not be claimed that he is not free
to propose marriage to a lady of
the family of which he has been a
guest. If the negro is treated with
courtesy in business and his legal
rights are respected, he receives
all that the white man can accord
him with safety. Invite him into
the white mans home and the
danger line is crossed.
President Roosevelt knows this
just as well as any other man in
this country. Why, then, should
he be guilty of the offence? The
answer can only be found by
scrutinizing. the character from
which such an action could spring.
In this, as in other actions of his
life, President Roosevelt has de-
lighted to play to the grand stand.
Rather than not present himself to
the public view, he presents him
self in an unfavorable attitude,
through queer posturings to attract
public attention.
