POLITICAL GOSSIP
Peculiar Lineup in Federal
Judgeship Contest.
Burt0n's Friends Are Not With
Him.
LOW LEAVES CURTIS.
He Is Supporting Pollock for
the Place.
What the Washington Post Says
of Contest.
LOW LEAVES CURTIS.

One of the peculiar features of the
federal judgeship contest is the division
Of forces. For instance, Senator Burton
is for Charles Blood Smith, but some of
his appointees and warmest adherents
are for other candidates. Two of his
chief supporters are now in Washington
working for candidates other than the
one favored by Senator Burton and they
both differ from the other. W. H. Mac
key, United States marshal, has been
for LOOMS ever since the contest start
ed and he helped work up LOOMS can
didacy. J. 5. Dean. United States dis
trict attorney, is for Judge Pollock. and
is working just as hard in Washington
for Pollock as Mackey is for LOOMS.
Senator Long lined up Saturday for
Pollock, but many of Longs warmest
friends are for Chief Justice Johnston,
while still others are for Loornis.
NJ. A Low, who is nearly always with
Congressman Curtis or Senator Burton
generally with both-is now working
with Cyrus Leland. Curtis bitterest en-
envy, for Judge Pollock while Mr. Cur
tbs IS standing by J. G. Slonecker.
Ralph Faxon, private secretary to
Senator Long, writes the Hutchinson
News the following concerning the line
up Of Dean and Mackey in Washington:
-. -
friends have been-and are-very ac-
tive. Cyrus Leland and NJ. A. Low are
among his active hackers, and the dis
trict attorney for Kansas, Mr.. Dean, and
William P. Hackney of Winfield are
| two other staunch friends. Mr.. Dean
who is particularly active for Justice
| Pollock, made two bets with his friend
and cO-worker in the 'anti-machine.

The Right OF
SeIfsGOVernment,

In recent editorial, the Denver Re
publican very sensibly views the ques-
tion of statehood for New Mexico and
Arizona.
"The question of admitting New Mex
leo, Arizona and Oklahoma will come
up in the present session Of Congress in
probably the same way that it did in
the last Congress. An attempt will be
made to pass bill for an enabling act
including all three territories.
ut is probable that this bill will pass
the House aud that in the Senate it will
encounter opposition from certain Sen
ators who seem to have little regard for
the interests of the'far west. 1t is prob
able, however, that it will pass the Sen
ate also, if it comes to vote in that
body.
"There is a disposition to ignore the
caims Of the west in this matter Sen
ators from little states in the east,
states that have no hope Of being much
more than what they are today, oppose
the admission of the territories on the
alleged ground that they do not contain
sufficient population to be intrusted
with membership in the union. What.
ever may be said of the present condi-
ton of New Mexico and Arizona, Okla
homa is unquestionably better qualified
in the particular named than either
Vermont or New Hampshire, and there
is no doubt that in course Of time New
Mexico and Arizona will far outstrip
either New Hampshire or Vermont in
population.
However, the injustice to these com
munities is greater than that to the
other parts of the west, for it concerns
not representation in Congress and par
ticipation in the affairs of the federal
government, but the right of tia people
to govern Themselves, SO long as state
hood is denied, they will be compelled
to live under provincial form of goy-
ernment. Every act of their legislatures
may be nullifed by Congress and their
chief executive and judicial officers will
continue to be appointed by the Presi
dent.
"The corner stone Of American polits
ica institutione is the right Of sel-gov
ernment, Either it is worth recogniz-
ing and preserving or the American peo
pie have for more than 100 years been
dreaming an idle dream, This right is
co Mls dear to those OF New Mexico
ARIZONA and Oklahoma. Whether, il
the event that the proposed states
are admitted, their citizens govern wise
ly or not, is matter which can but re-
motely affect the welfare or the happi-
ness Of New England. By prol onging
the territorial form OF government, Con
gress denies this right Of self-govern,
ment and perpetrates wrong upon a
large number Of intelligent and patri
otic American citizens.

Cuban Reciprocity
Bill To Become
A Law.

10 few days Cuban reciprocity vill
become Jaw. Many Democrats and Re
publicars are now advocating a similar
treaty with Canada, There are strong
economic arguments for Canadian reci-
procity, and yet political reasons for re.
ciprocal trade relations WITH our north
ern neighbor are even more potent.
Despite the growing sentiment of
unity between the two great English
speaking nations, there are many indi-
cations from Canada Of an increasing
hostility against the United States The
i'll feeling over the Alaskan boundary
decision le a result rather than a cause
of this, The real cause for Canadian
bitterness toward the United Sta tes
lies in our tariff policy toward Canada
which has created artifcially diversity
of interests between the two countries.
One Of the most positive indications
of the semi.hostile attitude Of Cauad a
toward the United States is found in
the enthusiasm with which the Canadi
ans are increasing their militia, They
are trying to raise a force of 100000
men which nearly equals that Of the
combined National Guard of the United
States, which has a population ten
times as great as Canada. The Caoadi-
an militia officers arc trained in specia |
schools and the British government has
Just given the Dominion permission to
name its own mmander-in-chief Of
these forces. The Canadian minister of
the interior declared in a recent speech
that every Canadian boy should be
taught the usa of rifle which should be
presented to him by the government
when he became twenty-one After
| the Alaskan boundary decision one of
the chief complaints OF the Canadian
commissioners was that the Islands off
the Portland Canal which we're given
to the United States possessed "stra-
tegic value" These are all small but
positive indications OF an unfriendy
feeling toward the United States, be-
cause when Canada arms, it is really
against her only possible enemy, the
United States. OF course we need have
no fear OF the Canadian militia, however
large or well trained it may become; but
those who wish for friendship between
the two countries regret to see the
slightest indication Of rivalry 10 mill
tary strength. The surest way to AVOID
this as we'll as TO torn Il real friendship
and eventual union between the two
great divisions of North America is to
establish reciprocal commercial relations
which will make the interests of the
two countries mutual
