THE number of Arizona politicians who have important business in Wash ington is remarkable. Mayor J. H. McClintock and w. H. Stillwell are among the recent departures to join the number already there. It is pre- sumed that each of them know some good reason why they should be ap- pointed to some fat office in Arizona.

THE COMING NEW STATES.

The unanimity with which the lead ing western newspapers favor the ad- mission of the remaining territories to statehood is significant. A strong statehood movement is under way in New Mexico and Arizona, while Okla homa has teen asking admission for the past year or two. The fact that most of the people of Oklahoma and the Indian Territory want these two to enter as single state is going to make Oklahoma's admission easy. In the census of 1900 Oklahoma was given a population of 39S,00O and the Indian Territory one of 392, 900. The recent thrush of settlers into Oklahoma has probably, with the natural increase aside from this, put that territory's population up to 450,000 or over at pres. ent.
 In the present congress, therefore, the question of the admission of several of the territories will receive much at tion. Arizona, the smallest of the ter ritories, had l22,000 inhabitants in 1900, but as it more than doubled in population in the preceding ten years, the chances are that it will reach the l50,000 mark by the end of the present congress in 1903. New Mexico, the next smallest of the territories, had l94, 900 population in 1900, and though it grew to the extent of only 26 per per cent. in the preceding ten years, population in the representation of the states Tn congress. Oklahoma and the Indian Territory, if united, would en- ter the union with q population of not far from 9OO,0OO, which would give them great prestige as a state. There are about twenty states which each have less than that many inhabitants.
 The advance of territory to state rank immediately and materially adds to the political privileges of its inhab- itants. A state governs itself, while territory has most of it's political af- fairs controlled by congress. The larg- erprerogatives and opportunities which come to community as soon as it passes into the circle of the states is an inducement which makes statehood a much desired boon. The day of it's elevation to the higher rank is an im- portant date-mark in the life of com munity. Naturally this is consider ation which appeals more tangibly to the west, where the transition is com paratively new in the case of most of the states than it does to the east. The territories which are seeking admis- sion to statehood, all of which are say ing that they have President Roosevelt on their side in this aspiration, may reasonably look for the solid support of all the western states in this purpose. -Globe-DemOcrat.

THE President does not refer to state- hood for any of the territories in his message, and it is presumed that he will give the applicants for statehood no consideration during the present session of congress.

Glass leaders are church officers of the
greatest importance. The church d.
vides the whole country into conferen-
ces and the conferences into districts
and the districts into circuits and sta
tions. So the church divides the cir
cults and stations into classes and
places them under the supervision of
men or women called leaders whose du-
ties are to see each member of his or her
class at stated times and by religious
counsel or advice to help them in their
| religious life and work. The list of class
leaders in part for the church in Leon is

The first preaching place of the
M. p. church, of Leon, was the home
OF John Patterson, now owned by Aunt

The services were held then at other
homes located near where Francis Varga
now resides. Later, in 1856, preaching
and Sunday school were held in the old
court house Standing on the site
of the Forgrave residence. From there
it was moved to the old brick court
house occupying the present sites of the
Yarga and Hoffhines business houses.

ship, which was tried before him last
| Wednesday. Both of the parties appear
ed at the trial with attorneys, Lewis B.
Jackson appearing for Mr.. Flora, who
commenced the action, and V. Il. Nc
Ginnis for the school board. Believing
that the decision will be of use to many
other school districts in the county, We
publish it in full, as follows:
cit is evident from the affidavit of
appeal and the secretary's transcript
filed that the school board of the Dis
trict township of Burrell att meeting
held March Is, 1901, decided to discon.
tinue the school in District No. 6, Round
Top, and send the pupils thereof to
Davis City schools under the provisions
of Sec. 2774 which provides that "When

in and the cost thereof shall be paid
from the teachers fund.-" and appoint
ed a committee to confer with the Davis
City Board.
From this order Ed. Flora. member
of the board Of said township, appeals.
From the testimony produced and
the affidavit of appeal the case resolves
itself into this proposition: May the
board discontinue school and send the
pupils thereof to an adjoining district?
We conclude that the law gives them
this power if increased school advan.
tages are procured, and there will be a
saving OF expense.
| We feel justified in saying at this
point that it is advantageous for a
school board to discontinue school for
a short time at least and send the
pupils thereof to adjoining districts if
increased advantages may come from
such action and pupils will not be COM
PEELED to travel unreasonable distance S.
The tendency. of opr schools now is to
consolidate small rural districts by send
ing the pupils to central school or dis.
continue such small schools and send
the pupils thereof to other districts.
Increased school advantages will be q
result Of such actions.
The board claims that all these advan-
tages will come from its action; that
there will be saving of expense and &C.
cording to the provisions of Sec. 2773
and 2774 they may send the pupils of
District No. 6 to the Davis City schools
as aforesaid. The appellant claims that
there is sufficient number of Just rea.
sons for the continuance of the school
IN District No. + and the reversal of the
order of the board.
The above claims have been substan-
