SENATE AND STATEHOOD.

While Senator Beveridge, chairman of the senate committee on,terriitories
 is in Colorado, says the Denver Repub- liican, he should take note of the fact that the sentiment of the republican party in this state is strongly in favor of the admission of Oklahoma, New Mexico and Arizona
 We who live here ought to know bet ter than most republicans east of the Mississippi what the sentiment of the far west is on this subject, and. also what the qualifications for statehood to them. No senator, whether repub- publican, whether from the east or the middle west, should refuse to help the republicans of the far west in mat ter of such great importance as this is to thm. No senator, whether repub- lican or democrat, should refuse to pro- mote by his vote the development of the Rocky mountain region, more espe- cially when by so doing he would in fict no injury on his own section
 To republican senators the appeal for the admission of these three terri tories should come with special force, because it would mean the gain of at least four and, possibly. ten electoral votes for the republican party in the next presidential election Oklahoma and New Mexico may be safely cont ed as republican. They would together feast seven electoral votes It is pos isible that Arizona would do no more than neutralize the three cast by New Mexico, leaving the four in Oklahoma as net gain There is, furthermore, a chance that Arizona will become re publican. and its exclusion by the sen ate would. in all probability, involve the defeat of the admission bill.
 But higher than all partisan con
 alterations is the fact that these three Iterritories are clearly entitled to ad mission. They have sufficient both oi
 population and taxable wealth to sup
 port state government, and htis,' ir jconnection with the desire of the peo Iple for statehood, should settle tht
 matter. The people of territory live
 under provincial rule, and hence are
 denied one of the most highly prize<
 rights of American citizenship-tns |, right of self-government. To deny fhil to the people of the three territorie' lin question any longer would be untus , and it should not be thought of
 We hope that the committeeof whici Senator Beveridge is chairman whire bort as early as possible in favor Q
 admission, and that then the seuaf'
 will join the house in throwing ope' the doors of the union to these thre' worthy and deserving applicants.

IAN OPPORTUNITY

Al hRND
 Col. Epes Randolph has written to the friends of statehood in Phoenix that he had seen Senator Bard, of California, who told him that he would call a meeting of the subcommittee of the senate committee on territories at Los Angels some time during the summer. He could not say when the meeting would be held, but that all the members of the committee would be at Los Angeles before long, Senator Bev- eridge, the chairman of the committee, is there now. Other senators who are coming are Senator Fairbnks, of In- dina, and Senator Quarles of Wiscon- sin. The meeting of this sub-com- mittee at Los Angeles should be made the occasion of a demonstration by Arizona There are no less than one thousand Arizonans now in the vicinity of Los Angeles and should the subcommittee hold its meeting at any time before the first of September an equal number from this territory will be in easy reach of Los Angeles. Governor Brodie should head delegation from Arizona to meet the senators in Los Angeles. He should be accompanied by as many of our prominent citizens as can possi- biy spare the time to go. Every Ari- zorhan. who is in California where the meeting is held-man, wo- man and child-should clam or for hearing in favor of state hood. The committee should be i'm
 pressed with the great desire of our
 people to be free from the hampering
 conditions of a. territorial form of dovernment. The committee should be urged to visit Arizona in a body
 and a special car should be placed at their disposal for that purpose Here is an opportunity for Arizona to do some good work for statehood

TROUBLE IS
 BREWING. /,


 It is announced that a meeting has been called in Phoenix for the purpose of making an effort to induce the sec retary of the interior to. select the Tonto Basin reservoir site as the place for spending the first money under the new irrigation law enacted by the present congress. Everybody who is in any way interested in secur- ing a better water supply for the Salt riiver valley is invited to be pres ent at the meeting.
 Of course, if the secretary of the interior can be induced to begin the first work at the Tonto Basin site it will mean the abandonment of the San Carlos dam enterprise for the present Here is where trouble may be expected. If any one doubts that the attempt of the Salt river people to sidetrack the San Carlos dam proposi- tion will cause an editorial eruption, akin to that of Mount Pelee, let them watch the columns of the Florence Blade.
 Speaking of the proposed meeting the Republican says:
 Tt has been given out that the sec retary would begin operations under the new law at the San Carlos site, though no public announcement of his intentions has yet been made. It is known that he favors that site, while Mr F. H. Newell of the Photographic survey is in favor of the Tonto site. The chief reason why the secretary would proceed first at San Carlos site fording relief to the Indians of the Sacaton reservation, but it is argued in behalf of the Tonto site that sufh- cient relief could be afforded them by the constitution of reservoir there.
 Though as has been said the sec retary has made no announcement that he will order the building of the San Carlos dam, instructions have been received by the Sacaton agency to proceed with the laying out of the ditches; so that unless the secre- tary can be made to see the advanta- ges of the Tonto site for all purposes the San Carlos dam will certainly be ordered within a short time" s
 The people of Florence have been the principle factors in urging the construction of the San Carlos dam; they have devoted much time and considerable money to attract atten- tion to the many advantages of the San Carlos site for storing water; they have so clearly demonstrated the feasibility of great and sue cuessful irrigation enterprise there that congress came very near appropri- ating s1,000,OoO for the work before the irrigation law, now on. the statutes, was proposed
 The effort now to be made to have the government abandon the San Car los enterprise and adopt one that will provide water for the Salt rivier val lev will be resented by the Florence people, who, we believe, will be suppor- ted by the people of the territory, gen erally, outside of Maricopa county, because of their sense of fairness
 We await. with some anxiety. to read what Bro. Weeden, of the Blade, shall write on this flank movement from Phoenix

What He Came For.

A learned judge who was one OF the
guests ut a dinner was unexpectedly
called upon to reply to toast. Recov-
ering somewhat from his surprise. he
said that his situation reminded him
of the story OF man who fell into the
water while he was fishing.
With no little difficulty he was res
cued, and. after he had regaincd his
breath and was In fairly comforta-
BILE condition. his rescuer asked him
how he came to fall into the water.

OLD FAMILIES OF VENICE.
Their Fortunes Are Dissipated and
Their Palaces Sold.

Their Palaces Sold.
Very few of the fine old palaces OF
Venice belong to the descendants of tho
families who built and originally occu-
pied them. Very little of the enormous
wealth for which Venice was celebrat-
ed in the fifteenth century remains.
The most of it has been dissipated by
the descendants of the men who made
1t, the same as in England, France and
other countries The rich men Of Ven
ice today are an entirely new class or
people. whose names do not appear in
the Golden Book, which contained
list of the patrician families in Venice
who were invited to festivities at the
palace. This book was instituted In
1915 and thenceforth until the Aus
trian occupation was the index and
standard of nobility by which all claims
to precedence were decided.
Occasionally the grand council. by
vote, rewarded the gallantry or public
services of some citizen Of humble
birth by directing that his name be in
scribed upon its pages. None but those
whose names were in the Golden Book
could use the golden stairs when they
entered doge's palace, and when this
right was conferred 1t was equivalent
to an order of nobility in another coun-
try There is one notable exception to
the decay of the ancient families. and
he is Count Grimani, swho traces his
lineage back to one of the most fa-
nous of the doges. whose portrait,
painted by Titan. hangs in the council
chamber of the 'doge's palace. The
Grimani palace is on the Grand canal.
near the Rialto bridge, and Is cele-
brated for its finely sculptured CAPT
tails.
Many of the rich men in Venice to-
day are Jews. They practically control
the banking business and manufactur-
ing. They own the fine houses Of his.
torical interest and the best paying es-
tates OH the mainland in the neigh
borlood. The present wealth Of Venice
is invested not SO much In real estate

YOU ARE NOT SO MANY
lleSSeS.

Say, when you think you own the earth,
And by sonic right Of royal birth
You think you are of nobler blood
Than those Of us who're made Of mud,
And by that are the best of any,
Go count yourself-you're not so many.
Say, when you feel that you are what
The vast majority of men are not,
And cannot be, because 20 IT make
Is far superior to theirs, please take
A little tumble, if there's any,
And mount yourself-you're not so many.
Say, if you have an idea that
You of us all know where you're at
And while mankind remains i'll doubt
You know just where you're coming out;
Collect your wits, If you have any,
And count yourself-you're not so many.
Say, brother If you have the gall,
To think you really know 1t ALL
To feel that you are better than
The ordinary, average man;
And that hereafter you will rise
To higher glory in the skies
Than those who do not have penny,
Go count yourself-you're not so many.

drummers. who attract the crowds by
their incessant pounding on small but

is short one. it is heightened by stops
Mt frequent intervals. and all the while
the lover must not show any eagerness

MARKING YOUNG SALMON

Fish Commissioner Kershaw returned

cry where the spawn of the steelhead
and the chinook salmon can be pro-
cured for incubation. Mr.. Kershaw
states that about 100000 eggs of the
steelhead variety have been secured
this month, and it is hoped to procure
a million eggs during the season. All
the fish have been turned out of the
hatchery and its time will be devoted
to steelheads during the summer. Last
year the hatchery was unable to secure
any considerable quantity of the spawn
Oh account of low water, but this sea-

Gent height. Mr.. Kcrshaw says that

THE RIGHT TO VOTE.
In England 1t Is Withheld From
Many Full Pledged Citizens.

There are many full fledged English
citizens who are disqualified from
membership in parliament and from
taking any part in parliamentary cleo
tons. Thus all peers of the realm. ex-
cept those Irish peers who do not hap
pen to have been elected for life to
represent their order in the house of
lords. are barred from the exercise of
franchise. Sc. too. are police officials.
high and low. They neither have a
vote nor are they eligible.
Ineligibility to parliament extends to
the Anglican clergy, to Scottish Pres
byterian ministers and to the Roman
Catholic priesthood. Undischarged
bankrupts and those convicted Of fell
ony and who have not completed their
sentences and are merely freed on
tickets of leave are likewise disquali-
fed from election to parliament. So,
too. are young men under the age OF
twenty-one and persons who. having
been judicially declared insane. have
not been legally restored to their civic
rights and privileges.
Insanity. however. does not consti-
tutc any disqualification in the case Of
the upper house Of parliament. Luna
tics are permitted to take part in the
divisions in the gilded chamber. and at
the time when the Irish home rule bill.
enacted by the house of commons. was
defeated by the house Of lords no less
than three crazy peers were brought
down to Westminster by their keepers
from the insane asylums in which they
were held under restraint and voted as
hereditary legislators against home
rule being granted to Erin.

NATURES IcEHoUsE,
Food For Birds That II Preserved In
the Arctic Regions.

IS tue ArCtlC tteSlOn8s
The number Of birds that 60 to the
arctic regions to breed is vast beyond
conception. They 60 not by thou
sands, but by tens and hundreds Of
thousands. and because nowhere else
in the world does nature provide at
the same time and in the same place
such lavish predigalitE of food.
The vegetation consists of cranberry.
cloudberry and crowberry bushes. and
these, forced by the perpetual sun
shine of the arctic summer, bear enor-
nous crops Of fruit. But the crop Ia
not ripe until the middle and end of
the arctic summer and if the fruit eat
ing birds had to wait until it was ripe
they would starve in the meantime. so
they arrive on the very day Of the
melting of the snow.
But each year the snow descends on
an immense crop of ripe fruit before
the birds have time to gather it. 1t is
thus preserved perfectly fresh and
pure. and the melting of the snow dis
closes the bushes. with the unconsum-
ed last years crop hanging on them
or lying. ready to be eaten, on the
ground.
The frozen meal stretches across the
breadth Of northern Asia. 1t never
decays and is accessible the moment
the snow melts. The same heat which
thaws the fruit brings into being the
most prolific insect life in the world
the mosquito swarms on the tundra.
No European can live there without a
veil after the snow melts. The gun
barrels are black with them, and
clouds of them often obscure the sight.
Thus the insect eating birds have
only to open their mouths to fill them
with mosquitoes. and thus the pres
ence of swarms Of cliff chaffs. pipis
and the waGtails in this arctic region
is accounted for.-Pearson's.
