Census statistics show a steady in- crease in the longevity of the people of the United States. The median age of the population in 1900 was PA years. The median age in 1890 was 21.9. The median age is established at such T point that the years of half of the pop ulation is under it and half over it. It is found that the median age of the white population exceeds that of the black, Indian and Mongolian races, that of the whites in 1900 being 23.4 and of other races 19.7. A retrospect extend

Among these may be included the clearing of the for ests. drainage of malarial lands, im- proved processes of food preparation, the harnessing of machinery to the per formance of hard labor. and generally a more intelligent observance of the laws of health.

Two Senator. on Statehood

Arizona voters of the democratic faith have no reason to feel proud of the estimation in which their intelli- gence is held by the democratic office seekers. Were any other constituency in the United States approached with the proposition that in order to secure favorable action from the republican United States senate on a seTni-politi- cal question it is advisable to ignore the majority senators and depend upon constituency would feel affronted. The average man of intellect is not pleased when asked to invest in a transparent fraud. All men like to have such com pl!ment paid them as is implied by the assumption that they have common sense
 When the voters of this territory re- member that Arizona and New Mex ico have been repeatedly denied ad- mission into the union largely because of their democracy; when it is remem- bered that the question of admission now rests absolutely in the hands of the republican leaders in the senate, it is not complimentary to the intelligence the election of a republican delegate will be displeasing to republican sen- ators, and that the election of demo- cratic delegate is not only necessary to prevent democratic senators from de- serting the statehood cause, but viii enable this same helpless minority to pass the omnibus bill It is only neces- sary to apply to this question the reas- oning which every man employs in the ordinary affairs of life. It is not some thing of such vast depth as to require passing over to democratic politicians Tor elucidation. At least. it has seemed so to us; that there might be no doubt about it, however, the editor of this paper two days ago telegraphed to two United States senators with whom he hannened to he acouainted and asked them whether in their judgment the prospects for the passage of the pend ing statehood bill would be affected by the election of delegate from Arlzonh. The senators of whom this inquiry was made also happen to be among the side. Here are their replies:

OVER THE COAL QUESTION.

Mines Did as Much Ms u Univer-

New York, Dec. Sl.-The coal strike
question was discussed by some Of the
speakers al the dinner given at Sherry's
last night to the delegates TO the uni
yersity conference, James W. Alexan-
der Of Yale g, speaking on 1.-THE Uni-
vcrstles and Modern Business" sug-
gested playfully that each university
should have Its trust and after assign
ing various combines to the different
universities said Somebody else can
take John Mitchell and the, strikers.
They are the biggest trust of all"
This reused Wayne MacVeagh, Yale,
80, who said, speaking on pThe uni
yersties and Public Affairs"
1.-THE university man must pay more
attention to great question like the
ctal trouble. An immense industry had
drifted out Of the hands Of the men in
charge-honest, well meaning men and
capable as you and /. But 1t had drift
ed out Of their hands, and the nation
was face to face with a winter without
coal, Then a graduate did appear and
said Coal must be mined" And he was
the chief executive. Then another grad
uate appeared Of almost equal author
lty, the financial leader and he said,
Coal must be mined, but the issue was
not entirely settled by ii ler OF both of
them. II depended on not a university
graduate but on the graduate Of coal
mine, who said II the arbitration Is
conceded for which | have been asking
for eight months, coal viii be mined
Arbitration was granted and coal
was mined, bu If one had been less per-
suaslve and another had not agreed
then the mines would have been her
metically sealed for winter You must
deal not alone with the coal barons--
you must deal with the men who mine
the coal and bring II to the surface.
You must administer the government
with the, ideals Of civic virtue"
Mr. MacVeagh was followed by Pres
ident Eliot OF Harvard. who suggested
that each of the gentlemen preceding
him had slightly wandered from his
subject referring pleasantly to Mr.,
MacVeagh's impeluosity and his discus
sion Of the strenuous life" He then
outlined the ideal strenuous life and led
the discussion into quiet channels His
subject was "The Universities and
Learned Professions"
President Hadley Of Yale was the first
speaker on the subject Of "The Amen-
can Universities He told how Ameri
ca was working out It's own university
