WHY don't President Roosevelt say something that will assist Arizona to statehood? The Republican platform, on which he was elected president, de- slsred in favor of the early admission of Arizons to statehood. That decla- ration was made two years ago and the time is now at hand for its fulfillment. Every Democrat in congress stands ready to vote for the admission of the remaining territories ss states. There is no just reason or excuse for longer keeping us under a territorial govern ment. Arizona has the population, wealth and intelligence to maintain a state government that would reflect credit on her people as we'll as honor the union of which it would be a part. These conditions are we'll known by the president, and our people have been confident that he would speak out iu support of their just demands, but up to the present time he has remained painfully silent. Speak out, Mir. Pres ident, and add some new stars to the flag and receive a general Rough Rider yell of approval and thanks.

FRIEND TO ARIZONA.

The Denver Republican ha. shown itself to be true friend to Arizona in her fight for statehood. In recent is. sue the Republican had the following editorial:
 The people of Arizona are making an earnest effort to secure the admission of their territory as a state at this ses- sion of congress.
 Arizona has ample population and wealth to maintain state government and this ought to settle the matter. The people of the east should place no obstacle in the way when the people of territory like Arizona, New Mexi. co or Oklahoma desire to erect a state government.
 There will be DO burden cast upon the inhabitants of the east on account of the passage of the desired enabling act. It is the people of the proposed state that would erect and subsequent ly maintain the state government. They would bear the expense and the people of the other states would be relieved of all responsibility on &C., count of the old territory.
 A territory is province of the na- ton, and the national government is responsible for it as far as direct con- trol is exercised. The federal admin istration in power at the time is re- sponsiDle for the character of the man appointed as govt rnor of a territory. But were state government establish ed the people of Massachusetts would be no more responsible for the enact ment and enforcement of the laws of Arizona than the people of Arizona would be for the character of the state and municipal governments in Massa- cnusetts. ~ S<
 What the people of Arizona want is just this liberty to govern themselves, and as good American citizens they should receive it.

Atrrors of the Greeks and Romans.
 The mirrors of the ancient Greeks and Romans were thin disks of bronze. highly polished and usually fashioned with handles, though sometimes they were set upright on stands. Later on silver was used, and the first mirror of solid silver is said to have been made by Praxiteles in the time of Julius Cesar. Subsequently silver mirrors took the place of brass or bronze ones almost altogether. though steel. copper and even gold were also employed. Looking glasses of metal were en- ployed everywhere up to the fifteenth century.

Tax Levy Will be
Asked.
School Board Would
Spend Much Money.
Estimated Expenditures Will Ex-
ceed Receipts.

The School Board wants to spend
more money next year than it ever
has before, and Il tax levy as large
for each fund as can be asked will be
recommended soon. Even then the
estimated expenditures for the year
will be larger by $4,000 than the re-
ceipts from all sources. The levy to
be asked will be 10 mills, the largest
there has been.
This, figuring from an estimated
tax duplicate of $20,J00000 would re-
turn S205,vOO. Add to this the total
receipts from tha state levy, foreign
tuition, sale of text books and rent
100000, and the total sum TO be eX-
pected by the Board will be S22o 600
The expenses of the Board increase
naturally from year to year, and this
year there will be an unusually large
sum to pay in refunding bonds.
In recommending the levy, Mr.. Sla-
baugh said Tuesday night: II believe
it will he wiser to ask for an unusually
large levy than to issue bonds. and
burden the taxpayers in years to
come"
