Admit Them All.

It is difficult to understand the oppo- ton to the bill which provides for the admission to statehood of Oklahoma. New Mexico and Arizona. Perhaps the opposition in the case of Oklahoma is not as strong as in the cases of Arizona and New Mexico, but that fact-if it be fact-only adds to the mystery or the situation; for it would seem 70 mean that the majority in congress are will ing to admit a republican territory and to exclude democratic territory on purely partisan grounds, and without the smallest reference to justice. We prefer to assign some other motive to the antagonism. It is not pleasant to think that the republicans in congress could be guided in their acts by con- alterations so petty and unpatriotic.
 For many years past the nationa! conventions of both parties have de- clared in favor of admitting these terri tories. As matter of fact, they com mitted themselves to New Mexico and Arizona before Oklahoma was though. of as a quantity in the national euua- ton. Gentlemen now sitting in con- Sress-in both houses for that matter have. in the past. advocated and voted for the plank. How can they now ex- plain their present opposition 10 d measure which heretofore they have ardently espoused and advoca ted |? These are interrogatories we do no- un- dertake to answer. Enough for us that certain republicans in congress are now repudiating the solemn declarations of their party and fighting against a measure which they themselves have eXpounded and urged in the immediate past.
 The truth is that these territories should be admitted to statehood with out further ado. They are entitled to it. and the consummation will be useful in every imaginable way.-Washington Post.

Wireless Telegraphy.

There promises to be something doing this month down at the lonely and bleak Marconi wireless telegraph sta ton at Wellfeet. on Cape Cod. Work has steadily progressed in perfecting the station, whose great supports were ready in the summer for the large amount of wiring that was necessary. Great secrecy is observel in all the operations there. but it is now said that Marconi is expected to reach the Wellflcet station beer '''-- -.--,,-. and to have perfect ~v-.cn7 Q | .rcon- munication with Fo,iu. .a C1.nwalI. England bc;orc Januuy l. The Eca- ton Advertiser learns that Marc9ri has set his heart on bo~ilning the new year with the system in actual opera ton, and work at the station is being rushed with that idea in constant thought. it is expected that the gov ernor of Massachusetts may be asked to send message by the wireless sys- tenn to the English station. provided present hopes of success are realizcd.- Springfield Republican.

them the best customs and traditions of the American people. Others have been attracted to the valley which sur rounds Phoenix because of the exceed ing beauty of the spot. Still others, mostly the young, earnest and adven- turous spirits, have gone to certain of the towns of these territories hoping to find there advantages and circum- stances of fortune not obtained with equal ease in the more densely settled portions of the country.
 But while these elements are import ant and invaluable to the territory, and while their influence is altogether for good and will steadily grow, it can not be truthfully said that at the prescn; time they are in sufficient numoer to dominate the mass of inhabitants or the territory. This is proved by the fact that saloons and gambling estab- Iishments are, by the statutes of the territory, permitted openly to run at night and by day, on Sunday as we'll as week days, and attempts to repeal this law have been futile.

RESULTS OF SUCCESSFUL IRRI
 CATION"

For this limited and precariOus con- dition of agriculture there is no remedy except the impounding of waters, which is problematical and a matter for the future. Should the great scheme for the impounding of flood waters as well as of rainfall be a success, great possi- bilities exist in both the territories of Arizona and New Mexico, for the soil of the river valleys, when under irri- gation, is surprisingly productive, all kinds of semi-tropical fruits thriving Iuxuriantly, the cereals being produced in great abundance, and alfalfa, which is a superi5r fodder for cattle, being produced to the extent of six and even eight cuttings a year. All this, how ever, is absolutely and utterly depend cnt upon the artificial application of water by rrigation.-(Testimon of Mr. Fowler, Professor Newell, MT. Heard, D. 150, and Others)

"MINING."

But the greatest occupation of the people of Arizona is mining. and the great resources of Arizona are Its min eral deposits. In this much develop ment has already occurred, and 1t Is asserted that immense bodies of ore, notably copper and gold. exist In vari- ous portions of the territory. ((Testl- mOny of Judge Sloan and others, pp. 123, 125. 126.)
 As is the case in all mining commun:- ties. verification of these claims is un- certain and a matter for the future. All that can be taken into account is the present development. Of this tine chief is the mining of copper, in the production of which Arizona stands third, Michigan and Montana alone be- ing ahead of it. Of the copper mines. the Verde mines, belonging to Senator Clark. of Montana ;the Copper Queen. belonging to Phelps Dodge & Co of New York; the mines of the Shannon Copper company; the Black Warrior compauy's mines and the properties of great scotch corporation are the

MINING POPULATION TRAN
 SENT; STATEHOOD FOREVER.

But should it be conceded that the mines now being worked will last for a century and that others even riche,. will be opened. that circumstance is not sufficient basis for a population TOT the purposes of statehood, for state hood is not thing of today or tomor- row. It is not thing for a century to come. It is thing fer all centuries and all time to come. And if a state is admitted, if for any reason it's pop ulation decreases to a hundred or to nifty, or, indeed, to use an extravagant example. to three necessary to repre- sent 1t as senators and congressman in the national legislature, there are no means at present known to our consti- tuition to remedy that serious condI- ton. That decreasing population is nor an imiSinary contingency will occur 10 anyone who will reflect that not all the states which in the past have been ac- mltted to the union have grown in pop- ulaton, but, on the contrary, actual de crease has occurred. People go where they may thrive and prosper, and thcy leave when those reasons fail. The aD- sencc of statehood will not prevent them coming. The presence of state hood will not induce them to come. Its existence will not cause them to re main.

 HURRIED FINDINGS
That Part of il Relating to
 This Territory
Extracts From the Testimony of Wit nesses in Tucson, Phoenix and Pres colt, Summoned by Senator BeYe- ridgo. The Adverse Conclusion.

The report made against the omnibus bill by Chairman Beveridge of the sen ate committee on territories, makes pamphlet of 31 pages. Ten of these pages are devoted to a statement Of the committees conclusions as to Ari- zona. The testimony upon which the conclusions are based forms a book Of 394 pages. Following are the most inn portant portions of the report as to Arizona:
 Arizona has a population of 122,9Sl (census 19OO). Of these the considera- ble ma jority are Americans, as distin- guished from the native or Mexican population, although nearly 30,00O (2S,- g3n are MeXicans. Schools are con- ducted in English with few or practic- ally no exceptions, and, while inter prcters are used in the courts, it is to a limited extent, compared with New Mexico.
