REPUBLICANS AND STATEHOOD

The Republican Senator's who are
smothering Statehood proposals for
party reasons may find that the scheme
isn't so profitable as 1t may seem now.
These Territories will be admitted
some day But how is the Republican
party to square" itself with their
voters whom it has repeatedly and
elaborately tried to trick?-Kansas
City Star.
1t is our opinion that the Republican
party can not square" Itself with thc
voters of the Territories In Arizona,
It leas; the Teople have no disposition
t. submit to being tricled or kicked.
The local Republicans will explain.
apologize and lie. but they can not
humbug the people.
The Republican leaders in both
houses OF Congress are opposed to
Statehood. In the House the Omnibus
bill was passed over the protest of the
Speaker and all his chief lieutenan.g
In the Senate every Republican on the
committee on Territories. with the ex-
ception of Quay OF Pennsylvania is
opposed to Statehood. Every Dem
ocrat, not only in the committee. but
in the Senate. Is in favor Of the bin.
In the House. advocacy of Statehood
was made a Democratic caucus meas
ure.
A vote for a Republican candidate
In Arizona will be a vote of approval
for the party that tried to prevent
Arizona from becoming a State in the
Union. This must not be forgotten
when the people go to the polls.

History Of the Case.
The case Of Deming. which was made
a test for various other courts-martial Of
like nature, turned on the point whether
under the statutes it was legal for an
officer or soldier Of the volunteer army
to be tried by a court Of regulars. The
Judge Advocate General OF the Army had
held that such trials were within the
meaning Of the statute and that there
was not the distinction Of other forces"
between regulars and volunteers.
