son Turned on Gas.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal
MARION, Ind, Dec. S.-While William
Clifford and John Hartman were inside of a
boiler at the Ohio Oh! Company's pumping
station, six miles east of Marion, some one
turned on the gas and 1t soon accumulated
and ignited from their torch before they
realized their danger. They were enveloped
in flames by the explosion and before they
could escape through the small door of the
boiler they were frightfully burned. They
had to crawl several feet through the
flames before they could reach the outside.
Both men were seriously burned about the
face shoulders and arms but they will
likely survive. The men walked the entire
distance of six miles to Marion to secure
medical attention and suffered much from
exposure as well as their burns.

ioan public was brought face to face with situation where exorbitant trust prices must be paid or those re fusing to pay must go without meat. In the case of the oil trust the public is required to pay scarcity prices be- cause the barons esteemed themselves the rulers of both property and labor by the favor of Jehovah. In the ab- sence of genuinely remedial legisla- ton the people have no hope of relief. The trusts are their masters.
 Mir Sage is mistaken in asserting that the movement for antitrust legis- lation is premature. If anything, it is belated, because recent developments indicate that the combines have se- cured a grip on the United States sen ate which threatens to nullify all at tempts at the enactment of effective antitrust laws in the near future. The people have been too patient. They have. deferred insisting upon re- lief from the trust evil until the na- tional legislative body through which relief must come is dangerously sub ject to the dictation of the trusts. Mir. Sage wants the people to maintain this attitude of patient waiting. He is wrong. The thing for the people to do now is to demand honest legislation against the trusts. and to voice that demand in so compelling tone that congress will be afraid to disobey, even though Rockefeller again tele- graphs to United States senators or dering them to take action against the people.

MT. O'Connell, of Cochise county, is beginning to forge to the front as one of the strong men of the legislature He is lawyer of great ability and has broad and comprehensive grasp of public affairs. He is naturally retiring in disposition and has little to say, but when he talks he presents a strong case. Tn fact, he is just the kind of man who will build a bright and prominent career. From, this on he can be counted a factor in the affairs of Arizona.-Enterprise

DEMOCRATS MAKE AN OFFER

The latest turn in the statehood sit uation is the offer of compromise com ing from the democratic members of the senate and presented to Senator Beveridge and his followers on We'd nesday. The democratic senators rep resented to their republican colleagues on the senate committee on territories that New Mexico and Arizona might be admitted as one state with the un- derstanding that Arizona may become a separate state on attainment of a population of 20O,O ,O00. within the pres ent area of that territory and by vote of the people of that area alone.
 We believe, after sober thought and consideration, the people. of Arizona will agree to accept the compromise proposed by the democratic senators TrUa it is not what we most desire, neither is it the fulfilment of the pledges oft repeated in our ears, ouS it means statehood sure and certain in the end. It means victory after hard struggle. On the other hand, the adjournment Of the present congress without some favorable action on the statehood bill, means the blasting of all hopes. It is either statehood now, under the compromise proposed, or territorial bondage for another gen eration.
 Under the provisions of the com. promise, Arizona would not long be de nied independent. statehood In the census of 1900 the population of Ari- zona is placed at 22,000. Since that time the population of Cochise county has increased 100 per cent and, Ora ham county has increased in popula- ton 50 per cent. Granting that the other counties in Arizona have in- creased as much as 20 per cent, Ari- zona, two years after the last cen. sus. would not fail far short of the requirement. The republican sena- tors, under the leadership of MT. Bev- idge. have. continued to make the point that Arizona did not have the required percentage of the total pop ulation of the United States to entitle in mind when they framed their com it to one representative The demo crats must have had this contention promise.
 The question remains will Bever- idge. Hanna, ct al, accept the compro- mise offered by the democrats? Are they so determined in their opposition to Arizona that no compromise meas ure has any merit in their eyes?
 The rejection of the compromise of fered by the democrats, will show con clusively that the republican party is forever opposed to the admission of the western territories under any con ditions Their hand has been forced. This week will dtermine the fate of Arizona.
