Newspaper Men In the Fight in Cuba

Newspaper Men In the Fight I'm Gu ba {.
Some of the newspaper men who
are at the front with the army in
Cuba. are after eX-Secretary of War

ardice ON their part and for reflec-
tions on their accuracy. The Ian
guage complained of appears in the
generals book. The Spanish-Ameri-

Harpers. Richard n. Davis and Cas-
par Whitney. who say they are

have undertaken to refute the impu-
tatiOns against newspaper men and
threaten To sue for libel. Davis. in
line with this intention. has written
"a lengthy letter 10 Harpers. in which
he seeks satisfaction for his con-

Arizona Still Seeking TO Join Sister
hood of States.

Arizona is again knocking for adj
mission to the sisterhood of states.
In the 50 years of her territorial or
ganization. she has petitioned many
times for statehood, and she means
now to make her most determined
effort. 4 committee headed by the
copper magnate. William &. Greene.
has been appointed to carry on the
campaign at Washington. and the
neighboring territory of New Mex
leo will join, perhaps not all unset
hshly, in the struggle.
Arizona. judged by the precedents
of past admissions. has the requisite
population for a state and has gained
IL rapidly. The census of 1870 ac-
counted for 9.65s people: that of 1850
gave 4O,44O: i'm 1890 figures were So
go: in 1900 the total was 122.931. "A
larger population than that of Wy
oming and almost three times that. of
Nevada. By the time of the next
census Delaware may be left be-
hind by her far western sister.
Aside from the practical cOnsidera-
tions of population and unquestioned
wealth. Arizona may urge senti-
mental reason for the favor she
seeks. The same year. 1908, which

Jeffersonville, a little Indiana city
on the Ohio opposite Louisville does
n great business in marriages. Thither
many enamored Kentuckians betakc
themselves whose love is frowned
Epon by stern parents. There were
1900 marriages in Jacksonville in
the year ending June 30, and about
1900 of these were marriages of non
residents. The population of Jefrer-
sonville is about ten thousand. In
ten years $4,000 marriage licenses
have been issued there. Naturally the
Kentucky towns are envious of this
prosperous rival
