 Governor Murphy has issued a call ] for a statehood convention, to meet in Pheni1 on Saturday, October 20. He calls on citizens to unite in asking congress to give US statehood, saying: "Individual interests and personal ambitions should not be considered. Statehood is not political question.

 Many ladies, renowned alike for their beauty and graciousness of man ner, have lived in the White House, but Mrs. Roosevelt, who is most ac- complished woman of literary tastes and a delightful conversationist, is one of the most interesting women that has ever occupied the position of first lady of the land. She is of striking appearance, possessing finely chiseled, regluar features, dark brown hair and eyes and great sweetness of expression. Her dislike for ostenta- tion and her love for quiet and re- tired life have already been demon strated in Washington. To a rare charm of manner she adds much self possession and dignity, as well as tact, and her voice is one of her chief attractions.
 Continuing the discussion of the Journal-Miner's emphaticallyexpress- ed opinion concerning the anarchistic journals policy toward the late President Mckinley, the Courier says: According to the above very weighty and logical argument, if the editor of the Courier should die first, and the editor of the JIM should at tend the funeral and express his sor- row, the editor of the J M would be branding all his previous utterances about the editor of this paper as | falsehoods." The marked difference in the two cases is that the Journal Miner never discusses the editor of the Courier personally or as an indi- vidual, but takes issue with many of his teachings. If the editor of the Journal-Miner should ever have the sad duty thrust upon him of attend ing the funeral of his contemporary, and should the latter rise from his coffin and were to reiterate some of the pernicious doctrines he has preached, we would feel it our duty to contradict them. Nothing has ever been said, however, concerning the editor himself of a derogatory nature.
