of contemporaneOus history that a great
deal of this story is founded upon facts

the story he has woven about them is
not altogether so.
Diane will not suffer by comparison
with novels of kindred character and
Mr.. Durham has placed his readers un-

A Ssnsation From the Gar
 hada Editor.

The mares nest of the campaign was uncovered yesterday. when the Phoe- nix Democrat in hysterical type an- nounced that The Republican had been in communication with certain United States senators in regard to statehood. As a sensation it was somewhat belat- ed, as most citizens of the territory read The Republican and were already aware that we spoke by authority in urging the voters to support Robert E. Morrison as the surest means of obtaining statehood. It is a very frequent thing for this paper to com municate freely by telegraph with sen- ators and congressman, although such a course is doubtless astounding to paper which spends no money for tele- graphic service. As proof that The Republican has been guilty of commun- icating with senators the Democrat printed certain telegrams which had been filed by The Republican in tho local office of the Western Union tele- graph company More convincing evidence might have been obtained had the democratic sleuth applied to this office-he would have found something to aggravate his case of sore eyes.
 The Democrat explains its possession of the telrgrams by claiming to have found them in the city garDage dump. There has been a we'll defined suspicion that the morning democEatic organ is edited by the city garbage collector. but this is the first open confession of tie fact.
 The next sensation to be sprung 9y inc garbage editor of the DeIfoHrat will probably be the news that Robert E. Morrison is republican.

Not satisfied with changing, twisting and turning the old laws and plastering the whole with unnecessary new ones they even invade the constitution to mutilate and mystify it with i'll con- ceived and i'll digested amendments which fly in the very face of that great charter in intent. purposes and detail.
 But while we are solemnly discussing all these things and hopefully looking forward to the millennium through their enactment everybody seems to overlook the vital and fundamental fact that no laws however good can administer themselves. There are laws now on the statute books adequate of the union. It Is not a model state and the fact that it fails is not because of the lack of good laws. The statute books may be filled with laws calculat- ed to meet every emergency, to deal out equal and exact justice to everyone but if they are not enforced they repre- sent so much waste paper.
 Instead of wildly clamoring for new laws and new amendments to the con- stitution let us get together and see that those we have are enforced with out fear or favcT. let us back up honest officials with an irresistible ublic opinion and the practical. millennium which we hope for will thus be realized without gorging the statute books with experimental legislation that would be a shame and disgrace to civiliza tion.- Denver Republican.

But a Sign of the Times.

To shear the head of a Frankish king was to depose him. The Venetian la dies who really ruled the mercantile republic wore abundant tresses. The wives of Henry VIII, poor subjects! were hooded like nuns. Their hair was as invincible as their influence. The emancipated ladies of the French court showed their independence. Francis I. wEo gave supremacy to them, had a olose-clipped head So had Charles V. Queen Elizabeth wore much hair; her courtiers wore as little as possible, and so did Henry ". The women of our own time seem to enjoy a perfect equality of rights with the men, as the hair shows. The scale has not yet tilted to either side When it does we shall be forwarned by the hair No sef-reepecting white man nowadays wears long hair Paul says: Doth not even nature itself teach you that 1T man have long hair it is a shame unto him.

Tn. sslly Democratic A-su'


 The Nogales Oasis thus discusses the ridiculous proposition that Wilson ought to be elected delegate to congress in order to obtain statehood from a senate which is overwhelmingly repub- lican:
 Mark Smiths return from Europe is taken as an opportune moment for re- vival Of the democratic assertion that Senator Quay. or some other eastern republican magnate favorable to Ari zona's admission to statehood. has de- clared that the election of democratic delegate from the territory will be of greater assistance to the cause. than if the republican nominee be elected Before now the Oasis has had occasion to touch upon this proposition. and it seems no more trouble now than here tofore. It seems incredible that demo- cratic senators should be easily swerv- ed from course they say they advo- cate because they believe it right. But if they are to be governed by partisan considerations, is it not very plain that an equal number of republican senators now opposed to admission would switch over to make another republican state. and thus save the measure? That is granting that partisan considerations have any weight that our democratic friends insist they do The fact re- mains that the senate is republican by strong majority. and it will so re- main for number of years. And Ari- zona's chances for admission lie just as much with that majority as they do in part of that majority going over to the minority.
 Tn an interview in the Tucson Citi- zen of Monday MT. Smith frankly says he could not have passed the statehood measure in the house, in the last ses- sion. had he not assured his democratic colleagues in that body that 1t meant the return of a democratic congress- man and two democratic senators from the new state.
 If that be true partisan considera- tions have much more weight at Wash ington than The Oasis has been willing to admit. That being the case, Mir. Smiths ill-advised utterance has giv- en the snap away" and will array against the measure the entire repub- lican majority in the senate, except perhaps, Senator Quay. So. upon the very ground that MT. Smith got the bill through the house. 1t is now neces- sary to convince republican senators by electing MT. Morrison"

 But it is very difficult to determine whence all the gems came, as discov- erers took care to leave no record.
