There is no good business reason for delay in admitting Arizona to state hood but there are several business reasons why that rich territory ought to be a state, It isn't question Of "justice,' or politics, or sentiment, but business proposition. The coun- try is really dependent on the west for the bullion that is the blood of busi ness. Anything that aids in develop ing the country $ biggest and best pay ing industry is good business to do. A state is always better fixed for mining than a territory. Arizona is a rich mining region, and thus business, na- tional policy and general progress die tate advance. Statehood for Arizona is in direct line with such advance. .- Mining and Scientific Press

TRAINING NATIVE TROOPS
UNCLE SAM MAKING STURDY AMERICAN
SOLDIERS OUT OF THE FLABBY
PORTO RICANS

San Juan, Porto Rico, Sept 20 (SpeciaD-
Those who have visited West Point and seen a
company Of cadets going through setting up
exercise will at first wonder if these young men
are training for war. At the command of their
officer they bend their backs, twist their arms
and legs and perform other such contortionS
that when they at last ordered to face
about and mark time one believes that they will
never again untangle themselves.
But it is such training as the setting up
which makes the soldier out. of the ordinary
citizen Rigorous and unnecessarily severe as
these exercises may seem, they to prepare
q youth for the greater hardshps of his future
life. Instead of wearing down a mans constitu-
ton it builds it up, hardens his muscles, ex-
pands his chest. starts his gastric and pancre-
attic juices into healthful activity, and trans
forms fat and fabby youth into well rounded
man.
The results of vigorous exercise in the max
ing of an American soldier more strikingly
illustrated than usual in Porto Rico at the pres
ent time. Here the United States Government
has undertaken to organize a regiment of native
troops. to dress them in the blue uniform of
the United States army, and at the time
to teach these recruits that the uniform by
no means makes the soldier
The material which is being utilized in this
interesting experimentation it is regarded as an
experiment until these fellows show what they
can do under actual fire-is of the crudest sort
The young men who have enlisted come for the
most part from the country, where the degree
of civilization at the time the island became a
possession of this nation was even lower than
that of the cities. Such youth has been raised
with no definite standard of cleanliness and in a
home where the rules of sanitation are prac-
tically unknown. The boy has also never been
taught to exert himself, except to obtain the
bare necessities of life. Work regarded as
