ocratic editors still uphold the practice of polygamy. In this they are alone. The Democratic party is not with them, neitheris the Mormon church. When con gress enacted a law against poly gamy the few Mormons in this territory who happened to be at- fected by the statute accepted the situation in good faith, like the good citizens that they were. The masses ofMormons were not favorable to polygamy, and every selfrespecting member of that church in the territory today should feel insulted by the coarse efforts of the Democratic press to place them in false light. "-Tuc- son Post.
Holbrook argus., 1902-10-25

During our few years residence in Arizona we have come to the conclusion that it is the desire of the majority of the residents of the territory to have statehood. The republicans are in the major ity in the Senate, and we must look to them to secure its admit tance, the democrats having very little, if anything, to do with it. Now, is it any more than right that we should elect republicans this fall, and more especially the congressman, and make the admission of Arizona to the sis terhoood of states sure thing. Then when we get statehood, the democrats can elect men to fill all the offices-if they can. In any event the men elected will be res idents of Arizona, and not ap- pointees from elsewhere.

TRAFFIC WAR MAY RESULT.
Gould Hartman Fight as Seen in
 New Orleans.

New Orleans, Dec. 6.--A transcontinen- tai passenger traffic war is likely to be precipitated at New Orleans by the latest move of the Southern Pacific Railroad ,n Joining in a union depot plan with the t1pnois Central Railroad cutting out the Louisville and Nashville crossing This action 1t lis believed. will result in the Louisville and Nashville and the Texas and Pacific joining in an agreement to handle transconstinental traffic.
 This will likely be done unless the Louis vile and Nashville is forced to enter the union depot January l, when the South ern Pacific goes in. as the Queen and Crescent Is included in tne plan. The fight between the Gould and Hartman in terests is further accentuated by the ac- ton of the Southern Pacific in routing it's business from New York to North Texas via New Orleans and the Shreveport and Red River Valley Railroad instead of the Texas and Pacific. Tn furtherance of It's scheme of colonization of Southwest Louisiana and Texas the Southern Pa cihc yesterday carried through New Or leans 1.50O home seekers, the third large party of agriculturists recently brought into this section by the Southern Pacific.

center and point them as they are in na- ture. It requires twelve of these folds for a medium sized flower, and eighteen for a large one.
 Take three of the clipped circles and place them together on the cushion ana with an instrument like the pointed han de of toothbrush begin at the tip or the petals and bear down hard on the in strument drawing 1t toward you to the center. The petals will curl up and be beautifully veined. Do this until all are curled.
 Take a wire ten inches long and wind one end around a bunch of yellow cotton so that 1t is very solid. On this depends the solidity of the finished flower. Then pull the curled circles apart, taking care not to uncurl them, and punch hole in the middle of each. Paste the cotton all over and string one circle, holding the flower in the left hand upside down and working the curved petals up against the cotton. After this no more paste is need ed until the calyx is put on. String all the others, working each gently with the hand until the petals all curl inward.
 When they are all on, cut a round piece of olive green paper and notch the edges paste the inside and push that up against the flower. Bend the wire and hang the flower upside down in a safe place to dry. Cut several strips of the green pa per for winding the stems. Cut four leaves for each chrysanthemum, except where the flower is 10 decorate a lamp shade, when no leaves are required. Cut wires six inches long. paste them and lay them along the middle of the leaves pressing them down with the fingers. These can be cut after the real leaf. All foliage is better when cut according to nature. A pattern can be taken once and will serve always. This also is true of the petals.
 When the leaves are dry take the long strips. dab a bit of paste on the end fasten that to the calyx and begin to wind 1t round and round downward until the wire is covered This requires a lit- tie practice, but can be done. All stems of all flowers are wound the same way, and all leaves except carnations must have the wire for midrib.
 A bud can be made to go with each flower by squeezing up a few petals and finishing them with calyx and stem. When the leaves are dry wind them to the main stem.
 Carnations are made by cutting seal loped circles, notching the edges and cut ting out ovals near the middle Twist little cotton with a wire, string the cir cles and squeeze them, add the green calyx. and wind two long narrow leaves of crepe paper in with the main stem.
 Roses are made by taking three strips of paper and winding them around cen ter made of wired cotton. Tie with linen thread as you wind. When the strips, each three inches wide. are all on. slash the top. trim the corners round and curl the petals thus formed with a knife. Calyxes are made of crepe paper, and the stems are wound with two or three sprays of leaves. Buds have one strip, and the calyx is nearly closed around the bud

President-one Shot.
 New York. Dec. e.-One man was seri- ously wounded and a score of persons have been badly bruised and beaten in a small riot that followed a meeting of the iron workers and bridge mems union in this city.
 During the free fight engaged in by over 200 men, Albert Connolly was shot in the side. He was taken to the hos pital where 1t was said, his injuries were serious.
 Policemen Bullman and Farnum were roughly handled, before the arrival of endorsements.
 The fight is said to have started in an argument over the nomination of one of the members for president.
 Two tickets were put in the field. The police say one of the candidates started his campaigning at once by ordering a barrel of beer and invited all of the mem bers to drink. There were about 250 members of the union and 1t Is said over 200 remained to accept the invitation. Arguments ensued and several shots were fired. When the police appeared the crowd jumped upon them and the hall was cleared only after endorsements had been called.
